Frankfurt am Main
Finally home after a hecktick week!. And damn its cold.
The week got exciting with 20 mins of setting off to the airport, i got a phone call from my dad who had just dropped us off... my mother had just writen my car off! she bent it around a lamp-post.. Now usually something like this would upset but with it being a £250 car i was not bothered i found it more comical the turn of events on how it happened... im not the proud owner of a mondeo verona... Yeah proud (sarcasm)
Anyway we got on the fun Ryan-Air service which proceeded to torture us to buy J20's with jingles and posters. it was all a garish yellow! Arriving in Frankfurt hahn (nowhere near frankfurt!) we coached to the excellent city of Frankfurt on such a drery time of year. But that did not dampen spirits, a lot of fun was to be had in such an economical city such as frankfurt. What was quite surprising is that the city's populace drops by around 600k after work according to one local we spoke to.. and it showed at night time the streets were very quiet.
The whole purpose of going over this time was an Oomph! gig, and well what can i say im not normally the kind for such activitys but i enjoyed it and the band were as good as i hoped :)
Lots of fun and alcohol was had, as well as savoring some of the more local dishes "Handkase mit musik" took a bite and was not best pleased, ill leave that to the locals.
One thing i realize though is i do need to learn a lot more German! despite the odd looks from the locals when you sing along to a German song with a very British accent.
