The awesome adventures of Jack Chi: German food and long lost brother.

Finally arrived in Germany and its quite a new experience going around feeling like I am a mute person. It was a good idea to start my travels in France to ease me into the groove of traveling alone.

Once I got off the train getting to my friend Min Kyung's place was quite easy. Min Kyung is a friend from Korea who speaks French because he studies art in France for 3 years. It was awesome catching up with him again. Originally working for a company in Czech Republic as Quality control manager for Hyundai. Min Kyung recently moved to Frankfurt for his new job at LG. Oh and did I mention he has an Austrian girlfriend? So I guess you can say he is pretty PIMP.

For lunch he took me to a German restaurant where we stuffed out faces with meat. Gotta say Germans really like spice meat if you know what I mean. But it was good! The portions were so huge we took 1/2 home for dinner and were still stuffed. I also tried German beer for the first time. I was quite surprised as there was no water on tap lols beer is water apparently in Germany.

Christmas market here had a lot of different stuff than the ones in France. I tried applewein which as you guessed it is hot apple wine. It had a tangey after taste and got exponentially better the more I drank it. Since I don't drink alcohol normally I don't know if that is because I am acquiring a taste or it is simply the by product of drinking apple wine.

Frankfurt as a city is quite similar to North American cities. There are a lot of new tall buildings because of all the banks. In fact the European bank is here. This is where they print the Euro. The center of the city is the old town and has a similar vibe to Quebec city actually. It almost made me miss my home until I checked the temperature in Quebec - minus 18 degrees!

Here in Frankfurt we are at a solid 5 degrees to which I am thankful for.
