Recap of Week 1 in Frankfurt:

I think I have reiterated this point at least several times in the last few posts, but my living situation is kind of flipping sweet. I don’t even care that there were hidden nebenkosten, because paying an extra 70-80 euros or so for my situation is not really a huge deal considering just how amazing it is. And that it literally takes, in total, about 15 minutes to get to work.

My work seems pretty interesting, and I think I have so much to learn. I am already improving my German pronunciation, have no problems getting around on most forms of public transport, and am meeting new people all the time!

I love Grunesburgpark, and I love that I can go running there as late as I want, because the sun doesn’t go down till around 10pm, and the area around there is simply adorable and very pleasant.

German chocolate is simply amazing. There is so much hazelnuss.

There is still so much to see! Short term goals: shopping at the Zeil (main commercial shopping thoroughfare), running around the river, clubbing, the Stadel museum, Palmengarten, Alte Oper….

Tomorrow: Siu-wei comes to visit me! Cannot wait!
