In Frankfurt
Did all the touristy thingy...but actually it's not as repulsive as I would have imagined it to be. It was rather refreshing to merely observe and watch objects in stasis, instead of being an active participant of things. Watch and learn. Perhaps the best way to describe life as a foreigner.These were pictures taken near in from the St Bartholomäus Dom in Frankfurt Altstadt. For some cities in Germany, they have this region called the "Altstadt", which refers to the area from which the city first developed from.


Somehow, these sculptures appeared rather vivid to me. On a lighter note, there are like GAZILLIONS artworks depicting Jesus' life and especially his cruxification, all around the Museums. I really wonder what Jesus would think, when he comes again and sees so much (uncountable, mind you) sculptures reminding him of his suffering on the cross. Kind of like salt to a wound don't you think?

These candles, with the dried roses at the periphery, encircles a plaque on the floor. It is in commemoration of the destruction during WWII. Rather neat tourist attraction; but what was amazing about it was, we were at the same spot 10 mins ago, but the decorations were not there....as if the candles and flowers surfaced from the floor by themselves. ooh.

A typical tourist attraction, the Cityhall. Didn't go inside, but was rather nice just gawk like a Japanese at it...."Woooah....Honto ni?! Sugoshi....!" =) (Sorry for the stereotype)


Went to the Historisches Museum, and saw this exhibition "Toys of the World". Really neat handicrafts from children from 5-56 years old, from all over the world.

We saw another exhibtion centred upon Frankfurt in the Middle Ages. Description in Lonely Planet: "...even if you skip the uninspiring permanent exhibition of the Middle Ages in favour of....." Actually it was not boring. The room where the ancient tools of arms were rather interesting, whilst having vocabulary lessons at the same time, courtesy of Andre.
