Well, like that I had a lot of free time on my hands and as it turns out two days a good time for seeing Frankfurt, leisurely even. Here are some thoughts on my experience.
After a glass of the local specialty, apple wine, Äppelwoi as the locals call it, I decided to sample one of the world's strongest beers: Eisbock, 23% (rotations as some call it). I never meant to get drunk but after that it seemed like a good idea to go on to a bar and continue with a cocktail. The following was written at that bar. It has not been edited only that this version is actually legible. :)
Sitting in a bar in Frankfurt, the Moloko+. Remembering Singapore with a Singapore Sling - boy, it's strong! The one in S'pore is better. This one strong one, lah!
Wish you were here.
Pissed... :)
Really full [=packed] - must be a popular watering hole... Spotted it on my first walk here. Cars pass, each has a purpose. Life through the mirror.
People talk - it all becomes a drone. Can't understand what people say. Alle haben Spass.
Everybody's happy.
Everybody's consuming.
Right now I'd believe anything.
Lounge/Bar still means something here.
Can't focus. This is weird. Eyes won't focus on mirror reflection. Getting close to that cherry.
Still more cars pass
The next one was written at a pub the next day after the very scary experience of being on a 200 meter-high highrise on an open platform. Not easy for someone scared of heights. I'm proud of myself that I made it - to the railing! I was rewarded with some blue sky despite the grey and rainy rest of the day.
200 Meter über dem Boden auf einer offenen Plattform. Selten ist etwas so furchteinflößend. Dabei noch böhiger Wind! Man hat das Gefühl, von der Plattform geweht zu werden, wenn der Wind auffrischt. Aber die Aussicht ist fantastisch. Der Bankbezirk aus der Vogelperspektive. Auf gleicher Höhe mit den anderen Hochhäusern yu sein. Und vor einem breitet sich das Land aus so weit das Auge reicht. Manchmal beneide ich die anderen, die es genießen können, ohne an die 200 Meter zu denken, die unter uns liegen. So unbesorgt möchte ich auch mal sein. Aber ich bin trotzdem stolz auf mich. Ich habe es bis oben geschafft und bin auf der Plattform und bin sogar ans Geländer getreten! Unter mir die Stadt Frankfurt, über mir der (jetzt) blaue Himmel und der Radiomast.
