I took this during the christmas party in Frankfurt. I forgot the name of the place...but it was like a huge Restaurant, cozy, with dim and yellow lights. Outside, it's fascade is made of bricks but inside it was very posh. Lots of mirror in the washroom...there were blue lights around. Our reservation is at the second floor (last floor), where you can have the view of barrel decor at the ground floor. After the stairs, there's a dressing room at the right side where people could hang their coats and scurfs, of course as usual there's heater inside.
[I am always fascinated to see guys at trench coats, my boss and colleagues looked good in their black coats and scurfs.]
Wines and beers were overflowing...however, this (picture) was the only food I found for myself. Most of the foods were sausages, potatoes, creams puffs, yoghurt, and some other stuffs Iam not familiar with and wouldnt want to try. So I contented myself with this...in all fairness, it was good. But of course, I tried every beer available. When my boss started to discuss the history of those beers, I started becoming tipsy. I wanted to end the conversation and shift it to another one, but out of courtesy of course I didnt and bear with the story while my mind was away..thinking of something else.
It was a very short celebration, no programs, no speech...just literal dinner.
When we adjourned, the snow was starting to fall and I kept my excitement till my group was left alone walking towards the Bahnhof (train station). I was hopping and giggling to see those white flakes from the dimmed sky. Like a child...enjoying every moment...my palms facing the sky :)
Was playing around, think this was the last day of my stay in Frankfurt (December 2009)...and just enjoying the second glimpse of snow. Was flaberrgasted! :) 
From my window (second floor) I was fascinated to the view of snow covering almost the entire streets. It wasnt there the night before i sleep..and when I woke up the morning after...snow was starting to pile up... :) 
That's the Signage of Arabella...That's where I stayed. And whenever I make recollection, the distinct smell of that building would always make it more different... It has a smell that says, you're home outside your home. 
Waiting for the tram...striking a stiff pose. It was freezing cold. 
Saying goodbye to Frankfurt and to Arabella apartment...was some sort of mixed emotions at that time...too excited to go home and meet my family and friends whom I missed. A lil sad, that the experience was over. But grateful for such a blessing....and a lil anxious about the new task. But the snow covered all those uncertain emotions...and meantime made me like a child..playful and stressfree. :)
