One day I’ll probably show some pictures from a somehow unusual tourist destination!<BR/><BR/>Freefalling,<BR/>Glad to read that you love to see my blog.<BR/>Frankfurt is now a little more known, as it is home to the European Central Bank. The Bank is responsible for the Euro, now the official currency for thirteen countries stretching from the Mediterranean to the Arctic Circle (namely Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain). And, as from January 1st, 2008, the Euro will also be the currency of Cyprus and Malta. It is also used in Andorra, San Marino, the Vatican, Montenegro, and Kosovo. Over 300 million people use it daily!<BR/>There are many reasons to make a place “feel”: friends, people, culture, landscape… Frankfurt is probably not on the top of the most exciting places to go, but sometimes there simply fantastic opera performances... Great reason to visit it!<BR/><BR/>Cuckoo,<BR/>Frankfurt airport is a great hub, and a most important connection centre. For my taste, we may have to walk too much to move from one gate to other. But it seems to be like this everywhere in the newly built airports... <BR/><BR/>Tanya,<BR/>Thanks. It’s good, but still there is so much to see...<BR/><BR/>Cabacurl,<BR/>I love railway stations, though I prefer airports; probably, more because they are places from where you depart, rather than places where you arrive...<BR/><BR/>Sue,<BR/>You’re right about the PalmenGarten: a quite nice place to visit.<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>Je me réjouis que ça semble aller mieux maintenant. Excuse mon absence et mon délai dans la réponse, mais c’est vrai que je suis parti en travail la semaine dernière, dans un pays pas tout à fait touristique… Un jour on verra quelques photos.<BR/>Le 9? 50 ans le 9.9.1999, ça ne se répète pas!<BR/>Je visiterais ton blog le plus tôt possible!<BR/>Merci!<BR/><BR/>Aditi,<BR/>Pijush,<BR/>Yes, the airport seems to be a quite important hub for flights to India; and it also has a nice Sheraton hotel right around the corner on terminal 1.<BR/><BR/>Lori,<BR/>Thanks. Frankfurt has now some Manhattan resemblance; it must be the financial sector influence.<BR/><BR/>Dsole,<BR/>See Lori, for the Manhattan resemblance.<BR/>It’s true that Di had a great time during the Erasmus semester in Vallendar.<BR/>Agora vou dizer-te que não creio que não saibas uma palavra de português. Verás que compreendes tudo o que acabo de escrever.<BR/>Boa semana, que o fim-de-semana já está a terminar...<BR/><BR/>Neva,<BR/>Thanks. The problem is that it’s not such a small world, and there is still so much to see...<BR/><BR/>Eliane,<BR/>It’s true that now they give you credits for the exams you make during the Erasmus semesters, but still there are some tricky points to settle. Anyhow, there are still at least two kinds of Erasmus: either you choose the University for the fun the city and the people may provide you with (and you go to Rio de Janeiro,...); or you choose it by the quality of the school, and even if you have fun, you work a lot...<BR/><BR/>Travelphilippines,<BR/>Envy? What shall I say of your Philippines’ posts?<BR/><BR/>Shionge,<BR/>I suspected that you wouldn’t have an aversion to a city like Frankfurt...<BR/><BR/>Ash,<BR/>You’re welcome. Your posts and pictures are always so intelligent and thought provocative. Brilliant!<BR/><BR/>Marie,<BR/>Amazing: I just missed the German Embassy party in Lisbon, as I was travelling. So, no Wurst, no Eisbein, no Bier...<BR/><BR/>Kalyan,<BR/>Thanks, once again.<BR/><BR/>Backpakker,<BR/>That’s a problem: many times a city with a great airport is only a transit place...<BR/><BR/>Leena,<BR/>Truly thanks for the comment, actually an added post improving my blog. I can imagine your trip; I was in USSR in 1977, in Hungary in 1978 (which was somehow different), but not in East Germany, Czechoslovakia or Poland by that time. About the athletes, it’s said that there were other mechanisms to improve performance. Like with Marion Jones and others…<BR/>Petra with a professor making excavations there must have been a dream trip; would have loved to go. One day...<BR/><BR/>Lv2,<BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Moi,<BR/>It seems to have happened to many visitors to this post: flying to and from Frankfurt airport and never getting to the city!

I hate even word politic and this my daughter was asking something from this subject. I decided to show, not to say anything and ordered a bus journey from Helsinki to Vienna. We went through southern Sweden and then by a ship to Poland and after that we drove through whole East Germany. My daughter was looking from windows ( we saw also those black walls of Dresden), she did not say anything hours, but then she asked, how athletics of East Germany can be able to exercise here, I can not see any flowers in backyards ? ( She was 13 years then ) Then after driving through Czechoslovakia ( we saw those dead trees on the mountains )and then over the border of Austria. And she said, look at those flowers mom. No need to say anything :)<BR/>But that was not it, what I was thinking, when I came here, sorry, I have not remembered years, that we have done this bus trip.<BR/>I was thinking other trip, that Petra in Jordan. I did not find it from your list, have you been there! We were there with professor Jaakko Frösen, who is making excavations there.

Quite a change of space: so relaxed and a program so light, which did not give us any exemptions though - the alma mater being a bit on the elitist side made us do all the exams of the semester we missed in Brussels - so Erasmus was kind of a double semester for everybody. I think they changed it for the next promotions. But in any case, I do not regret it one bit.<BR/>Thanks for the visit of Frankfurt!! You are a good tour guide!• Eliane •https://www.blogger.com/profile/17535070160739138725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-26067851470311829602007-10-02T02:24:00.000+01:002007-10-02T02:24:00.000+01:00You have lived a very interesting life what with a...You have lived a very interesting life what with all the globe trotting you have done.
