in Frankfurt

I have always wanted to visit Germany and now I am here, but confined to the Frankfurt airport. However, it's been nice so far! We walked off the plane down the stairs to the airport buses and were greeted with cool, crisp, clean air as well as nice, clean, not-broken-down buses.

A little bit of reverse culture shock is setting in as I am having a hard time not staring at all the white people and pointing them out to Jerry. Speaking of Jerry, he feels that Germany is too sterile and the jury's still out on whether he prefers this kind of atmosphere to the more "colorful" one in S Asia.

Well, we will be back in S Asia soon enough, so for now, I will enjoy the German efficiency and delight I experience going into the bathrooms here. The one down side, we wanted to eat sausage and kraut during our layover, but alas...

I would also like to say, that so far, I recommend flying Lufthansa. The food is decent, the plane was MUCH nicer than British Airways and the inflight entertainment is the kind where you have a choice of lots of movies that you can start and stop at your leisure. We saw The Other Boleyn Girl, Dan in Real Life and Definitely Maybe. I liked TOBG the most. Juliette Binoche was miscast in DIRL (in my opinion, and therefore reduced my enjoyment of the film). I still have 15 minutes to go on DM. I will catch the rest on the flight from here to Houston - my favorite city in the world!!!
