Holla from Frankfurt

Hello world
Its 1.01pm in Frankfurt. I've been online since this morning. The comp had some crazy problems, so i had to reformat my comp:(
Tried to go out..but the weather is killing my pretty face. Its super cold larrr...
There's alot to see in frankfurt i supposed but its tooooo cold..I will try to go out later la..
First, I dun even know how to open my hostel door..well who cares, im leaving here in three days.

Ok let me give u a detailed account about my trip right from the plane till now


My flight wus supposed to depart at 11.05pm however it took off only at 11.45pm. talk about punctuality huh.since no liquids were allowed, i din bring my favourite bottle of water on the plane. I get thirsty easily, so by the time supper came, i gladly gobbled my orange juice. Food was soso only la, my last meal of rice with fish.The steward and stewardess were sooo unfriendly lor. IMagine the stewardess asian with specs short hair and no make up( so like me!!), means i can be stewardess lor i supposed?And there is this aussie steward who is so chuan..$%^&him la..:P
Soooo thirsty and no water, they ask me to wait till the snack bags come..and inside:only a 330ml evian water..WTF
Breakfast wus a normal fare. And we landed on time. Oh did i mentioned that their in flight entertainment system sucks. I was soo tired that i slept before enjoying my first movie. Sucksss...

After i landed in terminal 2i had to go to the loo, and at the same time i was very thirsty..
so i went in. later i just follow the crowd out, took the skytrain to terminal one..and bam..I WUS LOST!!!!
Not knowing how to get out, i asked the service guy at the terminal one, he pointed just in front of me..phew it wus just infront of me..WHAT an idiot..
so i went out..go to baggage claims..but i cant find my flight..after asking(AGAIN!) the guy said my flight landed in terminal 2..which means my baggage had to be in terminal 2...arghs...so i exited into arrival hall in terminal 1..took the skytrain back to terminal 2 and collect my baggage..in btwn i was panting like mad and sweating thou outside the weather is super cold.
so when i got to terminal 2..i cudnt possibly go in and get my baggage since i'm outside of the departing gates.so for the third time, i had to ask a person to give me a permit to get my luggage. PS:ppl there are scary looking and shiong looking:(
so i got my luggage after getting in, by which everyone had left, and the place wus quite.
wow i took about 1.5 hours to clear everything. despite that my nightmare wasn't over. i had trouble purchasing tickets to frankfurt main station. dun understand any deutsch that spurt right there sighz. till i asked someone again and he showed me. but got no small change!!!so again i asked this nice guy from new york for change. then later he chatted for a shortwhile with me.usual old man chat

oh btw, i saw some old man peeing on the railway.gosh..that it ultra gross la
the train looks old. and with all my big luggage i even have to lug it up the train since the platform is lower then the train step. an indian guy helped me with the luggage and also helped direct me to the station.thanks indian guy
after reaching the station..i wus super super super tired..with all the carrying and lugging
i wus still very very thirsty..imagine hours without water..i felt like..err dying..plus im hungry too
so..yep i couldnt find my hostel.. although they say it wusopposite the train station..in front..i cant see it..
wanted to ask ppl..but i abit thick face la u c..so i went to the service counter..wanted to ask..but i saw this map..and saw kaiserstrasse..then yay..so i headed there la..think i reached there at 8am..amazing right..i took such a long time since i landed at 5 plus to get to somewhere which is only 17 minutes frm the airport..dumbass
so lugging all my fat luggage up the small elevator. i reached the reception, only to find that i can check in at 2pm...SIGHZ..which means i had to go lurk around for another 6 hours..so went and walk around the train station..the food there is exxx..
they sell mainly bread cheapest i saw wus ,99 euros. a tomato and mozarella bread costs u 1.50 euros aroun there la. there are some breads with cool fillings which costs around 2-3 euros.now that's ex. asian food also available 4-5 euros, anyone?burger king and mcd are also available, but the prices are almost the same as in singapore albeit different currency. now that's crazy. But i saw a chicken wrap at mcd which costs 1.99 euros..maybe i can consider guah

So miss clever went to buy her 1.5 l water first coz she wus dying of thirst. that cost 2 euros..ex, but water is a necessity. food is actually a necessity, but i still went to the supermarket and buy a loaf of bread which cost 1.59 euros..not that bad..i wus sooo hungry that i ate 4 slices of bread..the last one with belacan..:)yum..then i went to sleep at 4pm frankfurt time to recover my lost of sleep on the plane
oh, i share my 8 bed room dorm with 5 italian guys. They are nice, but abit loud, especially when i slept..they were in and out of the room.talking really loud..omg..and only returning to sleep at 5am????gosh..are u kidding me..oh the remaining 2 ppl are taiwanese one boy one gurl. dun see them often tho. would like to know if they are going to whu for exchange. that wud be nice.
oh in the middle of the night, stomach growled like crazy..

i ate alot for bkfast. cereals, tea, four slices of bread one weird bread..with nutella and honey. and i drank honey with water too..not bad..but im hungry now..maybe eat more bread with belacan or my salmon..yum..
so this is thus far my adventures in frankfurt..i will tell u more when i get to koblenz..

this is long-winded me signing off for now.
