Heidleberg is a town close to Frankfurt renowned for its old town and ruin castle. As soon as I arrived into town I met someone. Huang Yali is a PHD student studying in Edinsbourough university. Originally from China in the south we spoke Chinese the whole day and it was quite taxing on my brain expecially since we talked mostly about philosophy and the moral issues.
Heidleberg has an old area of town which is very touristy and that is where we started our day. It actually reminds me of a bigger version of Quebec city. But the warm weather quickly snapped me out of that delusion. Heidleberg has this famous walkway on one side of the river called Philosopher's walk, it has a stunning vista of the castle and was quite apt for our conversation topic.
Later that night I met up with Minkyung after work and we went to a local meetup for expats that Minkyung has been going to. We talked to a really cool couple Malili and Thilak who were there with their German friend Monica. Mahlili is working for a 3 month exchange for a telecom company that is owned by T-mobile which has a big foothold here in Germany. Thilak works for a Danish company and is living the dream by working from home and thus anywhere in the world. Originally from Malaysia they could not get used to the cold here in Frankfurt. I really loved talking to them and hearing their story and they were great listeners. Just before we parted for the night they told me anytime I am ever in Malaysia I can come visit. I might just take them up on that offer one day!
