I'm not often in the southern half of Germany, mostly at my limit Travel from Hamburg to Berlin and NRW. That is why I am always happy, sometimes over Cologne and Hanover to get out and the funny accent speaking, the lion's share of gross domestic product, generate wine-producing know Germany.
Or the apple wine-producing Germany, because I was this week in Frankfurt. While the third time, but both previous times were periods of 12-15 hours, of which a varying proportion was asleep. This time I heard that on almost 24 hours in the "main city" setting, with beautiful appointments, leisure and Rumgucken.
And for me is fixed: Frankfurt is a city of stark contrasts. It is rich and poor, brand new and old as the hills, big and small. It is a city with one of the world's strongest economies and yet a very private German public-social streak. It is a city that attracts and repels.
Gigantic, urbane of the main railway station. A place of possibilities where the Inselaffe amazed, because trains are on the scoreboard in at least six countries, everything from A to Z Zurich Antwerp.
Kleinkarriert and this Roman provincial court. Nice and cute, quaint striking in comparison to the skyscrapers in the background. Hamburg Alster neat suits the Hanseatic identity, Berlin Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag to a government town. Frankfurt's place is out of line.
kingdom, the inner city. Full bankers after work, which can output in all restaurants around the guard loose EUR 30 for a dinner and some beers - every night.
arm of Ostend, where my hotel was. Internet cafes, mobile phone shops and outlets such as guest workers fresh from the 80s (much like the bankers with blow-dried hair back, actually).
private companies that have colonized the inner city. Related to urban stage right in the middle and the tram, the bums such as bankers to work every morning brings.
This work is the way a relatively similar: the attempt, the average balance of the Company to win money.
This business, it is these contradictions even in every town, but nowhere on the falls so awesome, is the so impressed in the city, as in "Mainhattan". Where before the main station with the run-down Kaiserstrasse shiny skyscrapers in the background along with a bum a banker asks for a light and get a silver Lotus stuff to infect his RYO.
