One Year In Frankfurt

Well, I didn’t search for my train tickets or something, but I am still pretty sure that today (October 29th) marks my 1 year anniversary in Frankfurt. Either that, or the 30th, but yeah I am pretty sure it was the 29th.

So, what have I been doing all this time? Got a job, got laid off, got another job, and didn’t get laid off, so far. Found some new friends, dated more than ever before in my life (which proves to you what a sad life this geek usually has had rather than anything else), but otherwise, it’s been pretty much business as usual.

Frankfurt.

Mh, what’s there to say about Frankfurt. I kinda like it, it’s small enough that you can get everywhere rather quickly, and yet it still has some very neat skyscrapers, and also buildings of “older” styles. There’s a lot of international stuff here, too, mostly due to the airports, but to some lesser extent due to the banks. It’s a weird mix of an international, hub-of-the-world type city and a provincial small town. A lot of the people who live here are fake, or morons, or both. Still, every city has some gems, and I also met some really nifty folks here (you know who you are).

But is Frankfurt “home”? Home, in a way, is where your heart is, or so the saying goes. Is my heart in Frankfurt? Well, obviously, I took it with me when I moved here, still, if I could pick from all the cities in this world, Frankfurt would probably not be my first choice.

So, let’s get started on the second year here.
