So I made the 10 hour flight to Frankfurt, and am currently sitting in a coffee shop called Coffee Fellows just off of Kirchmerstrabe in downtown Frankfurt. I have a 10 hour layover here and decided to check out the city a bit so on my friend, Eric's advice, I took the s9 train to the Frankfurt hbf to do some quick sightseeing. It's -7 Celsius here and snow on the ground with more expected this afternoon. It's quite an unspectacular city so far although it is more known for being the financial heart of Germany rather than a cultural one. My flight here was uneventful, I was able to catch just a couple of hours of sleep and quickly used the Lufthansa lounge to grab a bite to eat and a quick freshen up before slogging through the passport control line out of the airport.
My next leg has me going to warmer climes, Bangkok where I'll change into my "summer" clothes due to the insane humidity of SE Asia.
Well I'm off to continue exploring around the city before heading back to the airport. Next update from the Thai Airways lounge in BKK.
