Quickies from Frankfurt
Posted by John Manzo on October 4, 2007
…by which I mean a few quick noticings before this internet session turns into a pumpkin:
1. German bread completely and totally kicks ass. Every little sandwich kiosk at the Frankfurt train station is better than anything in Ottawa or the St Lawrence Market (which are the best examples of Canadian bread that come to mind).
2. Superautomatic espresso machines are EVERYWHERE.
3. When it´s a very humid 20c here, Germans wear what appear to be winter clothes. I guess they do this in October regardless of how uncomfortable it is. I am in shorts. I am therefore a weirdo. I did not, I think, bring enough shorts.
4. Frankfurt, and the rest of the places I visit I am sure, is very, very multicultural. I did not really expect this. I am happy to see this and eager to put my sociology hat on about this evolution.
All for now- I have a train to catch to Köln (horray for keyboards with umlauts!) in a couple of hours.
