Frankfurt Trip

Gonna elaborate about the trip..

Started the journey by car at ten plus. It was a PAIN sitting in the middle TO and FRO..Frankfurt in an hour plus..considering the distance around 100km or more..but with a speed of minimum 110km/h..shud be able to get there quick enough..
Car pool is definitely cheap..but parking is not..tried to find cheap parking..and ended up parking somewhere for two hours..went to the Hauptbahnhof to get maps info..
Oh btw, toilets in Frankfurt cost a bomb..a whopping 0.70 euros for a visit..SYbille joked that she will be rich by opening a toilet in Germany..
After that, I kinda left on my own coz i had an interview at 2pm and it wus 12.30pm at that time. I kinda found the company after one hour of walking. Coz i overshot and then grosstan..when i found the right street..i realized that i wus at the opposite end of the street..so had to walk forever to get to ther other end
The interview went ok, I wus surprised that I'm not nervous and managed to answer questions smoothly. I am still awaiting their reply btw. Mediobanca S.p.A...investment banking job, long working hours, but i supposed good pay..(got another interview on Wednesday..sigh..hope more ppl contact me lar)

Ok later after almost one hour of gruelling interview, I went to meet the gang..They were at main tower. And again it took me some time before i cud find them. Also I cudnt find the way into the main tower..lol
Anywayz, i paid 3.10 euros just to spend like only 10 minutes looking up there..The lift took me to 53rd storey..can feel the pressure by then..the view wus magnificent..but wus really cold up there..i din noe that frankfurt wus soooo dense..maybe paris is also liddat
Next we went to the old opera house of Frankfurt..took some pics
Frankfurt Stcok Exchange wus next..we went there too late thou..or not we wud have been able to make reservations for the next day tour to the stock exchange..outside there's this big bear and bull..which signifies the bull market and the bear market(good and bad times for the stock market)..walked abit throughout the streets at 6pm(NIGHt time) before heading to the hostel..hostel's nice (nice beds..and oh so gooood breakfast)
we had dinner at some damn ex restaurant..had pork ribs and sauerkraut with mashed..sauerkraut is soo sour..pork ribs sooo salty..bliak..apfelwein too sour and alcoholic..i had a few sips..and my cheeks and face are burning and i went red..meal wus supposed to be 10 euros..but paid 13 euros for convenience of all(geeeeesh!!!)oh we went to a pub..and played texas hold em poker..nice..i won once..but i din win the whole game:(..wus fun

Next morning, did somore visiting..went to the cathedral to snap some pics inside the church..beautiful:)
Next up..the historical museum..where we saw some frankfurt and northpole stuff..and history botu frankfurt..so borrrringg..blek..nvr like museums in the first place
the second stop wus another museum..but this time i had enuff..so no more mueseums for me..the others went to Goethe Haus to visit the museum while i wander off in the streets..
After walking a while..I started to familiarized myself with the streets..counting a total of 3 Mcdonalds, 4 Starbucks..2 Zaras, H&M, Chanel, Prada, Gucci, Hugo Boss..and what not..all the brand names there..Swarozki..hm..got alot of brands there la..good for shopping..got BK also..i havent spotted KFC in deutschland yet...
Well i din do any shopping..except for "shopping" at the asian supermarket..asian supermarket is quite ex la...considering the cheap stuff i can get back at home..no clothes shopping till i wanna go home..probably do some shopping in italy..or other countries..OH yea..btw..so lame..tried to take some photos of the red light district..but scared la..those perverts go in to the place can edi la..but come out still want to stare at me like one kind..already so suey go in and do so gross stuff..come out stare at ppl like ppl wanna take ur pic liddat la..ok whatever..u may not understand me lol

So i guess that's the end of my Frankfurt trip..OH btw, the gang that i went with..Loves to trink Kaffee..we had coffee drinking(or rather alcohol or whatever) sessions everyday!Oh and i found out a great recipe..Honey and Milk..try it!
Oh and i had karamel ice cream at Mcdonalds..wanna try BK's ice cream too..yums..MOvenpick icream i want too..at Rewe..but sooo big..i scared it will melt since my fridge got no freezer..bleh
