Getting there

GERMANY | Tuesday, 24 August 2010 | Views [279] | Comments [1]

Flight took ages and no time, all at once.  Strange mix.  Slept a lot from KL to DE )deutschland; germany) which was good.  Woman next to me asked "going home?" - feel kind of honoured to be assumed to be german!

Has happened a few times since.  I politely declined a leaflet distributor in the street, but no words needed for that. I've realised that if I dont open my mouth, Im assumed to be German! I like it.  I guess it's just different (obviously) from my Bali experiences.

The two most used sentences already:"entschuldigung, sprechen Sie englisch?" and "sorry, mein deutsch ist nicht gut."
Works well.  It's just having the courage to use them.

Overcast yesterday and today, and for the next few by the looks of the weather forecast.

Frankfurt is very much a business city. But I love the old buildings next to the new, trees around the place. Going exploring properly today. Shoes cut up my feet first day though so itll be an.. interesting experience!

Been in touch with Max, Michael and Phil. Good to hear their voices - still verz surreal to think I'm in the same country as them!! (well, Phil's in Czech and Michael was in Netherlands.. but still).

Tschuss!
