Frankfurt on Foot
I love Frankfurt .. .. but sadly to say, this walking tour or Insider Tour led by an Yankee ranked on top on Trip Advisor. Trust me, there are lot more than this .. More pictures on FaceBook.
The tour was pretty interesting, Dave was bit comedian and historian combined. We started at 9am and it should ended at about 2 but it didn’t. It went on and on. Few tourists dropped out in the middle of the tour – lost revenue bec he didn’t collect fees till the end.

The R
Roemer is a medieval building in the Altstadt of Frankfurt (am Main) – the old town, and the major landmark. It’s opposite from the Old St. Nicholas church, and has been the city hall for over 600 years. The town hall was originally constructed in the 15th century but regularly expanded, with the most recent wings dating back to 1908.

Meeting old friends
Feb 1984: It’s one of my long stays in Frankfurt. Malic is Renate’s next door neighbor whose family was from Yugoslavia. They were enchanted with Chinese and asked me to write something for them. Their cute second born Bojan was an infant. Fast forward to 2010. The Malic has moved but not too far. We arranged a dinner but unfortunately Bojan was unavailable who’s working in an electronic store in the neighborhood.
