Frankfurt, Germany

I thought it would be difficult for me to tour around the place since they said I had to use the train to get me to the city center. .Good thing I was with the rest of economy crew who also wanted to go sight seeing. We started early and walked a couple of blocks before reaching the station. Looking around, it was deserted and we felt like aliens as we briskly walked down a street. It was like being in that movie "The Silent Hill", where at any moment, monsters would come out of the buildings.
We actually got lost. Not knowing what train to get on,it took a lot of fussing with the map and a stranger helping us before we were able to know where our stop was. When we got off the subway, I smelled heavenly baked bread. I wanted to buy some, thinking I could chow down while we strolled around. I remember hitting myself on the head for forgetting my wallet. Dear Diego rescued me, lending me 20 euros, and I bought cinnamon rolls from it costing only 1 euro.

The place was buzzing about, a direct opposite of the eerie feeling of walking on the outskirts of the city. There were a lot of interesting stuff to see. I laughed when I saw a shoe hanging on top of a tree. Too bad I forgot to take a picture of it. We went straight to the plaza as I told them I wanted to take pictures.

Certainly I could remember in high school a Social Science project- a hand-sewn Germany flag. Who knew that one day, I’d be strolling around the country, a thousand miles from home.

Even before we landed, I knew I wanted to have my picture taken with the Germany flag. So when we got to the city hall of Frankfurt am Main, I became trigger happy, snapping pictures all over, posing tirelessly in front of the Römer.


The Römerberg Plaza was so cute. It reminded me so much of Prontera, a fictional city from an online game I used to play. They had these little stores on the first level of these doll-like houses and some lovely coffee shops just outside.
I was standing outside a souvenir shop when diego wanted me to snap his picture with this bronze statue of a fish, with water sprouting from its mouth. He posed sideways, pretending to pee. Tourists… tsk. ^_^









I was happy to settle down and have coffee with them outside the plaza, choosing a seat where the morning sun would hit us. The air was a bit chilly; it was a nice feeling to be out, warm and toasty in the sun. I ordered a sundae and they ordered cappuccinos. I’ve had enough of coffee on my flights, I wasn’t about to miss out on eating ice cream loaded with heavy whipped cream. Yum!
