BAEGOPA LEE: FRANKFURT

It was not really planned, but I had 3 weeks time and wanted to go somewhere I've never been to before. View of the annapurna A friend of mine posted some photos of the Himalaya area on her Facebook two months ago. My impression of the photos were very strong, so I immediately checked the price of the flight ticket to Kathmandu, and then booked. It was really long journey from Frankfurt to Kathmandu. It took around 18 hours to arrive at KTM, but it was not the end of the way to the Himalaya. I had to take another 7 to 9 hours of the bus from Kathmadu to Pokhara. Was it really worth to visit there with spending such a long time? My answer was yes, definetely. I had to prepare light package of the backpack before the trekking was started. I had to carry on the backpack for 10 days in the montain with the range from 1000m to 4000m high altitude. Therefore, I was desperate to reduce the weight of my backpack as much as I can. At the end, the weight of my backpack became 8k...

It's already 6 years that I have lived in Germany. I've been many places and events, but I did not go to the Munich Oktoberfest yet. I was a bit out of such a drinking event, so I was never expected to go there. My friend comes from the very far away Japan. I had to visit this crazy city Munich for her. Oktoberfest is not only for the month october. Actually it starts at the second weekend of September. This year it began on 16th September. We planned to stay there for 3 days, so we spent time at the Löwenbräu the first day and then Hofbrau at the second day. welcome to Oktoberfest There were around 10 different beer tents and some of them like Paulaner or HB are quite popular worldwide. We visited all tents to have a look the atmosphere and then choose the most crazy people danced.  first tent Löwenbräu When I entered at the tent, I was overwhelmed by the noise of yelling people. And then I was so surprized that there were no place to seats at all. I...

Everyone has a different taste and everyone has different option of the food. Someone may like this and someone likes that. It is hard to evaluate which taste of the restaurant is better if we don`t have that sensitive tongue. Mostly, we believe the evaluation of the food expert`s opinion. Or, first try by themselves and give a note by them. Since I live in Germany, I ate a lot of kebab in many different turish imbisses. I think the best taste I had was at the restaurant in Berlin.    Among several kebap imbisses in Frankfurt, I like Bayram Kebap Haus most. This imbiss is located near the Frankfurt main station. After 5 mins walk from the HBF, I could try the best kebab in this town.  When my japanese friend visited me, we went there together. She had kebab many times in London, but she noticed that the taste of the kebab in Frankfurt is much cheaper and much better than the one in London. Yeah, at least we eat better food than the residents in London. Lamb...

It is weekend Saturday and my first day of 3 weeks holidays. I wish I could spend some time in somewhere out of Germany, so I had a very short trip to Poland. I heard many times thst Krakow is a really beautiful city, but I never been there befofe. Some of the Ryanair flights start from the Frankfurt international airport, not Hahn airport. and the return ticket was just only 70 euros. So, I headed to Krakow for two days. We landed in Krakow airport around 5PM and had big hunger. First, left our luggages at the hotel and tried to find nice restaurant. We had no energy to search for the finest restaurants, so just stopped by one restaurant where we felt looking nice.
