did a half-day’s layover in Frankfurt 🇩🇪 otw home and it’s been way more fun than I expected! I have now been on 3/7 continents
und nun, das Frankfurt picsdump
nobody ever quite pitched travel to me the way I wish it had been pitched. there’s something magical about being immersed in a different context, a different culture, the most wonderful consequence being that you question all of your own defaults about how things “should” be
here’s a small and maybe ‘inconsequential’ one- in Frankfurt, the crossing man crosses left. In Singapore, he crosses right. Why? maybe no reason, maybe purely arbitrary. a thousand little examples like this has a nicely discombobulating effect re: social reality
Ok I don’t wanna think too much so just gonna reverse-chrono dump. Here’s a cute bit of inter-city friendship
oh also the Frankfurt subway seems to run on the honor system? you can just walk right to the trains; we bought tickets but nobody checked them or anything and there’s no gantries/turnstiles etc
I always take pics of ads anywhere I go so have some ads
always be goofin’
there’s a bunch of nice architecture, old churches etc
visited Goethe’s place, or an approximate partial recreation of it
gift stores, street art, etc etc
you shall not parse!!
some art store, it was closed but I loved how it was just overflowing, like a great bookstore
speaking of bookstores of course I was in the bookstores. there are English books too but it’s especially fun to see which books get to make the leap to being translated to German
I can take pics of books all day, it’s endlessly fascinating to me. I always feel like I’m learning something even just looking at the book and magazine covers. Locally too I often pop into bookstores just to get a pulse of what’s on people’s minds
A lot of these scooter bois everywhere
Nothing is stronger than passion!!
