My thoughts on Frankfurt
I've been here for a few days. Here are my first thoughts.
1. Nice architecture
I love the buildings. I would be happy spending a day walking and looking at them all.
2. Lots of junkies
I took a turn down a dogey street and saw plenty of people sitting at the side in the process of doing drugs. For the most part you don't see them but the spots they are at, there's loads.
3. Good food
So far the food has all been great.
The only downside was one waiter that was a bit of a twat. 'no more pizzas!' run's away then storm's back a few minutes later 'so what pizza do you want!' order plain water and get sparkling. Order beer and get cola then after paying he goes insane and demands we pay again. We didn't.
4. A+ Public Transport
It's amazing. We can get a family pass for €30 and use anything all day. Transport arrives on time. They don't often check that you've paid. Really impressed.
Scotland really should take some lessons from here. As my German friend said 'The biggest difference between Scotland and Germany is public transport. In Germany, when you wait at the bus stop, the bus stops!'
5. Bikes
Flat land everywhere, so there's plenty of bikes. If I lived here that's how I'd get around.
6. Busy, but not clostraphobic
Lot's of people here, but it's never felt overwhelmingly. Maybe I'm just too use to China that any size of crowd is barable.
