One Night in Frankfurt

There isn't much to report from my first trip Frankfurt. I was there for work for two days after spending one evening in my bed back in Bratislava. Our hotel was right in the center, overlooking the Rhine. The area was fine, but not all that nice or interesting.

Because there isn't much to tell from this trip, I wanted to take the opportunity to share the new format I'll use for blog posts from our travels. One of the main things I use this blog for, besides talking about food and complaining about how expensive things are, is to log what we've done and where we've eaten in cities so we can use it as a reference if we were to travel back, or if someone is going somewhere we've been and asks (or doesn't) us for advice.

Here's how it'll look:
WIA = What I Ate
WID = What I Did
WIS = Where I Slept
WAM = Worth a Mention
WTF = Hopefully you get it...

So, for example, for this blog entry, it would look like this:

WIA: I went with my co-worker to Adolf Wagner for Wienerschnitzel and apple wine in the apfelwein district on the other side of the Rhine. It has a beer garden feel to it. The place was packed with a good mix of tourists and locals. It was a fun spot. The waiter absolutely hated us for no apparent reason.

WID: I worked ... a lot.

WIS: The Intercontinental was nothing special, but fine for a night.

WAM: I worked very late, so wasn't able to get up early in the morning, but I would have liked to run along the river as the paths looked nice.

WTF:  Flipping from TV channel to channel in Frankfurt, it's easier to count the channels that don't have nudity than the ones that do.

It's a work in progress. We'll try it out for a while and see how it goes.
