Welcome to "Obej Obej!!"



Obej Obej!! This is abbreviation for "Oh bella" in Italian.The meaning is "oh, beautiful!". ???

These days we have Xmas market around castle in Milan, this is an annual big market that is related to Sant.Ambrogio's memorial day. Last year, as I remember...It was in area of S.Ambrogio's church, but they have moved to castle in this year, and it's become quiet huge!!!

Actually, there are a lot of special sweets, chocolates, flowers, soaps, hams and cheeses in the market, and it brings us a feeling for Xmas!




This is what we ate at that day when we went to the market, it's fried bread(?) with sugar! Donuts? It was very nice because pretty signor just fried it for us!!





Can you see these are chocolates but shaped in metal tools!! For old tools that have already rust out, it should be nicer than the new one, because it's with cacao powder! But silver one...it's unknown material to make chocolate;) ooooooo...

So, what about your city?? Have you prepared something
special for Xmas??
