My first weekend in Frankfurt….. Different then I expected but nice
On Saturday me and my colleges strolled around the city specially around the flinmarket (or something like that...have no clue about the German spelling). The place where you can buy everything you can think of...From clothes, through food, electronics, pictures, jewelers, tableware to surgery and dentist medical instruments:)...Although I didn’t buy anything I guess it was worth to see it:) as a Frankfurt’s attraction...at least I was told that:) Then we hop to another market and bought a fish, potatoes and the rest of ingrediences for the Christmas diner- actually Christmas lunch:)...Yes you read it correctly...The Christmas lunch…now in September...My Chinese colleges wanted to taste the typical Slovak Christmas dish...After I had realized there wont be probably no proper Christmas this year in China my colleges didn’t have to persuade me for a long time...

Typical Slovak Christmas dinner (potatoe salad and Fish-Carp)
Afternoon I was watching a movie on my laptop and evening went jogging to the beautiful park situated just few minutes from our apartment…The Sunday plan was to meet a Slovak girl Karina I got to know randomly on one networking event I attended on Thursday ...but she got sick and therefore my Sunday plans broke down...Suddenly I had realized for the fist time in my life I am alone I have nobody to call to join me for the walk or at least for the beer or coffee (my colleges were out of the city as well)...Wow…What a inexpressible feeling…Anyhow…In spite of the fact I didn’t have the company really I have decided to go to the city alone...
Some of the beautiful views you can have in Frankfurt...
I must admit I have enjoyed it so much…but in a completely different way...Had time to think again a lot about myself, about the whole last year, about my plans, what I really expect from the traineeship what are my traineeship goals etc etc...and apart of all this I made following conclusions...
- However the city may be beautiful it looses its spirit when you have nobody to share it with...
- Living abroad indeed forces you to get out of your comfort zone...only when you step aside it you find out what your comfort zone is actually like...What are your life values and priorities. Who are the people you feel comfortably with??? What are the habits, customs, tangible things which make you really happy and satisfied...
And Finally I Bought the ticket to Bonn:) Next weekend I am going to visit Lucka Slezakova and Reetika:) Girls- really cant wait!!!
