This weekend I am visiting Megan in Frankfurt, Germany (her company sent her here for the month of February). There are a few things to visit and sightsee around the city... but mostly we've been hanging out at bars/beergardens/applewineries (apparently apfelwein is popular in Frankfurt).
Here is us trying to fit in with the other Frankfurters:

| Megan and I occupy Frankfurt. That is my angry face. |
We spent the evening in Sachsenhausen area of Frankfurt, a small area with many bars and restaurants. It was quite lively in comparison to other parts of the city. After visiting 2 other bars, we finally settled at Klapper 33. The bar was full of soccer-loving Frankfurters singing classic German songs (sounded like classic rock songs... think about a German Bon Jovi). It is also Carneval weekend, so many people were dressed in costume. I think in general Germans are always lively and in good spirits, but also incredibly nice. We met many Germans just because they were trying to get us to sing along with them. We couldn't sing any of the German songs, but we did sing along with the Proclaimers and Blink 182.
Tomorrow we will try to go to the carneval parade. Hopefully I will have some pictures from that, but in the meantime, here are more pictures of other signs I've seen around Frankfurt that I found amusing.

| The paper towels (from the Paper Jack) has advertisements on it. |

| A building I can only assume is full of Chinese Stuff. |

| Yeah... Germans do not go there for the wings either. |
