The Visitor


It’s absolutely fantastic to introduce someone you know to a city that they know very little about to somewhere that you know very well. It just goes to show that the day to day things that you see for granted are instantly admired when they are in awe of your local facilities. I recently showed a friend around the Birmingham German Market and; while I know that a lot of the stalls get repetitive over time and are quite overpriced; my friend’s appreciation of it made it all the more enjoyable as it was significantly larger than the one in his home town. We both enjoyed the free samples of Stollen and stocked up for our friends and families. We were both in awe of the street performers and their props. We both took the opportunity to try something new and visit places that we wouldn’t normally discover off the beaten track. So hosting a visitor is a worthwhile experience.
