This was already my last large holiday of this year. Hidekis who used to work for an airline company has a set of free ticket to Japan left. Only one thing I do not like is that I have to take flights via USA which takes twice longer than the ones via Siberia.
Anyway, this time I have some additional destination within this holiday, and the first one is Frankfurt, Germany. I was to meet old friend there to have dinner. My ex-ex-work place was an airline company who does not opperate between Dublin and Frankfurt, so I had to buy a ticket.
It was about a month before the holiday, most of the airlines are already expensive, I dont know why. So the conclusion was to take Ryan air to Frankfurt Hahn. I did not want to take it but did not have any more option.
Frankfurt Hahn is not in Frankfurt. That's a chatch. It takes more than 2hours buy bus to go to Frankfurt city.
Arriving at Hahn, there's absolutely nothing. In the air side, there was just an Aerofloat cargo DC10. I got on the bus to the city and waited for departure. A poor old lady who believed that she bought a flight ticket to Frankfurt Main (international) was complaining to the bus driver. Of course it was not driver's fault.
Driver: "Have a look around, madam. There's nothing. This is so called -Middle of nowhere"
...Well, did he have to assure that? I don't know.
The place where I stayed that night was just near the Hauptbahnhof (central station). How close was it?
It was litterely in front of the station. So convenient.
But I want to speak up here. I can not at all imagine it is the place where World cup take place. The signs in front of the station is nothing to do with soccer. It was so calm and boring. 4years ago when the world cup was in Japan, there was Adds everywhere in Tokyo. People were excited about that. Even in New York where I visited later of this holiday, in the States where soccer is not very popular, it was like a photo below.
Well, I was a bit dissapointed about it. But the food in the restaurant I went with my friend was very very good. So I forgive you (who?)
Coming next: unimaginablly long flight journey...
