Frankfurt, Germany

The most recent work trip I took was to Frankfurt, Germany to a customer site there.  Frankfurt is a really interesting place but I only had a little bit of time outside of work to be able to do a few different things.  One of the places that I went was to the Römer, which is the Old City Hall.  This was a recommendation from the always awesome Marvin Marcos.  When I first walked up the buildings looked pretty old school, compared to most of the modern type of buildings that were on my walk there:

When I actually got into the square it was definitely pretty cool.  The buildings and atmosphere was very bohemian:

 I had a beer and dinner while I was here, and then explored a little bit more before it was dark and I went back to my hotel.

Based on the little exploration I was able to do while I was there, I would definitely go back to Germany on an actual vacation with Audrey.  There is so much history there that it really makes you think.  I think that it may be one of our next Europe destinations, as I can't say I was able to cover everything I wanted to see while I was there, shoved in an office for 9hrs a day.  :)

First thing is first however,  Honeymoon next year for 30 days in Africa, next March!  South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.  I totally will be blogging the experience as we go.

Singapore, Singapore, Singapore... (Part 2)

I was meaning to update this much before now, but I got busy with other work.  The week in Singapore was an absolutely awesome experience as one might expect.  Sadly most of it was spent actually doing work and not tourist stuff, had very little time to do this type of thing.  But did have a chance to do a few things.  What was funny is that it wasn't until Tuesday night that I realized that literally we had not been outside of the hotel complex for three days.  The hotel you see was connected to the mall and conference center.  So yes...a typical work trip.  :)

Anyways, here are A bunch of pictures are below from my favourite non work things are in this final Singapore post for this trip.

When I first got there, the view from my room was absolutely stunning:

The view was of a garden, and the towers were there supporting wires for all the flowers to grow on.  There was also an edge walk which looked interesting, but i never had time to go on:

As I mentioned before, the hotel was amazing, here are a couple of pictures of it as well:

There was also a multitude of different  things to eat and drink in the hotel, and outside it as well. One of the fun ones that we saw was a super hero caffe, which had the most interesting coffees:

By far one of the coolest things however, was actually a feature of the hotel.  It was the infinity pool at the top of the hotel in the "boat" from the pictures above.   One of the largest in the world and spanned the entire length of the boat.  We went there most mornings before first light to be able to get a big of exercise in.  Other than the fact that it was super smoggy due to forest fires in Indonesia the views were also pretty awesome.

 Finally on the night I left i snapped some pictures of the night lights, which were pretty amazing.  Can't see them super well in this photo, but definitely this is an amazing city.

Among the fun things I went out to Korean BBQ with some of my friends there, had dinner at the outdoor  Asian food street, and had drinks at a few places as well.  I highly recommend trying any of the skewers with the peanut sauce, so amazingly good.

Anyways, another fun trip to Singapore on the books.  I also recently took a trip to Germany that I will probably do a blog about. Other than that, our honeymoon to Africa is coming up, so I fully expect that I will be doing a daily blog with the amazing things we do there.
