Chapter 459: Sunset Frankfurt

This is the first time that Bian Xuedao has made such a long-distance flight in two lifetimes.

From Yanjing, fly to Frankfurt, Germany, because it is flying towards the sun, so the road is sunny.

After flipping through the magazines and publications that could be flipped through at hand, he forced himself to sleep for a while, and woke up to be just over halfway through his trip. The plane flew near the Ural Mountains, and from the porthole it looked like a wetland, with curling fog in some places.

In order to land on the journey, he continued to close his eyes and recuperate, half-asleep and half-awake, he felt that the plane was slowly landing, the long and boring flight was finally coming to an end, and the first leg of Bian Xuedao's European journey was about to begin.

Main airport, very efficient.

After leaving the cabin, I simply checked my passport, and I stamped it out of the customs and let it go.

Walk out of the airport and finally get a glimpse of Frankfurt am Main.

Immediately afterwards, Bian Xuedao showed something surprising to him, his mobile phone showed that it was now 18:02 in the afternoon, and it was dusk in China at this time, but the sun here was still hanging high in the sky.

That's right, it's hanging in the air.

Looking up, the sky is very clear, the clouds are very low, and there are clouds of different shapes everywhere, clear and transparent, and the air is fresh.

Well...... The first impression was good

Because he wanted to see the cityscape, he didn't plan to take the subway, so he went out of the airport to find a taxi to the city.

As legend goes, taxis here are all Mercedes.

The driver of the car was a middle-aged uncle, and when he saw the Asian face of the man who was learning the way, he spoke English very smartly. According to what Shan Rao prepared for him at home, Bian Xuedao tore off the first note with the name of the hotel written on it and handed it over, the uncle took a look, and then hit the accelerator to 18o kilometers, smooth and exciting. It was only a few days later that I learned that unlimited is a major feature of German roads.

Sitting in a taxi and looking all the way, Bian Xuedao could already determine that Frankfurt, the heart of Europe, was much smaller than he imagined, and he could basically walk around.

When he arrived at the hotel, he made a few phone calls to report his safety, and looking out the window, it was still early, so he decided to go out for a walk.

Walking out into the street, I began to feel the atmosphere of the World Cup.

On the small building facing the street, large and small German flags are fluttering, and outside the windows of the cars, small German flags are also inserted, fluttering in the wind.

The shop on the street has moved the TV to the door, and people gather in groups to drink beer, eat ice cream, and eat snacks while watching the World Cup football match that I don't know if it will be broadcast live or recorded. Many people have painted the national flag on their faces, some have draped the national flag on their bodies, and some girls decorate knots with three-color ribbons to match their young and beautiful faces, black, red and yellow look tough and charming.

In short, there is a warm atmosphere all over the eyes.

In the garrison base camp square, groups of young people, each with a bottle of beer or other wine, drank and sang, shouting happily, and singing "utuIad1utuIadh" passionately

was made by them, and he was a little confused, could it be that there was a German team game today?

Walking down the river Main, bridges of various shapes span the river, where people are rowing, and people are reading, running, cycling, and drinking beer...... Follow the river to the Roman Forum, where tables and chairs are set up and street performers bring urban life to life......

The sun is sinking in the west, and twilight is slowly covering the river. Feathered ducks, mandarin ducks or other waterfowl swagger along the trails full of joggers and cyclists. Countless crows stop in the treetops of the small island in the middle of the river, and they sing together in a chorus before sunset. Further afield, remnants of ancient buildings such as the cathedral and skyscrapers frame the city's vibrant and rhythmic skyline.

The night finally got thicker and thicker, and the lights on both sides of the strait came on one after another, and Frankfurt began to show off its gorgeous night.

I'm tired of walking and want to eat.

Get ready to try the famous cider, pesto and Black Forest cake.

In general, what Bian Xuedao looked forward to the most was cider, although he was told that cider was hard to drink.

He had read about Frankfurt cider in a report: Frankfurt cider is a stimulating, low-alcohol drink that does not make people tired, but has a positive effect on blood circulation and the nervous system.

During the cold season, cider is often mixed with Sprite. In summer, on the other hand, fresh strawberries are added to cider to make a punch. There is also a saying in Germany that a true "drinker" will drink cider directly, and only in exceptional cases will drink sparkling wine with added soda.

Bian Xuedao wants to be a real "drinker".

Cider is easy to find in restaurants in the city.

The waiter was well aware of the needs of Oriental visitors like Bian Xuedao, and knew that most of them came to try cider or something, so according to tradition, the cider was served in blue-gray vessels and drunk by Bian Xuedao in a glass with a diamond pattern.

Maybe it's a matter of taste preference, after drinking cider and eating Black Forest cake, I didn't think it was delicious, but I just felt average, and I thought to myself: Is this actually difficult to live up to under the fame?

There is also a big difference between the taste of pizza and hamburger in Germany and that in China, sour and greasy, and half of the good mood of learning the Tao is gone.

When he returned home, he found himself lost.

It's already dark, and for a foreigner who has just arrived for a day, although the city is not big, it is also troublesome to find, and the old rule is to take a taxi. On the way, I passed a circus shed, surrounded by bright lights, and if I didn't want to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise, I might have gotten out of the car and went in to have a look.

It is difficult for a traveler in a foreign land to sleep for a long time.

The next day, as soon as it was dark, he woke up while learning the Tao, and he wanted to go out for a run and watch the sunrise here.

Like many good people, the habit of learning the Tao is to go to a place and see the sunrise there when conditions permit. Although I know that the sun is still the sun and the earth is still the earth, I just want to see the sun jump out of the horizon.

In view of the lesson of getting lost last night, Bian Xuedao thought of a solution. This method was not actually thought up by him, it was an online chat Liao Liao told him.

After leaving the hotel, remember what your hotel building looks like, then turn right, turn right at the intersection with traffic lights, after running for 30 minutes, if you can see the hotel in your field of vision, keep an eye on the hotel and continue to run to the hotel, if there is no hotel in your field of vision, turn around in place, turn left at the intersection with traffic lights, and make sure to return the same way. Liao told him that in this way, the probability of getting lost is very low if he runs for a maximum of an hour.

Again, the plan didn't change quickly.

Running and running, Bian Xuedao was attracted by a building, changed the plan to turn right, and then at sunrise, he didn't see the sunrise.

It started to rain in Frankfurt.

Light rain.

Now that the right turn plan has been broken, it is impossible to return the same way, so he began to act at will, and it was a big deal to take a taxi.

After turning a few corners, I actually touched the square in front of the old opera house. The fountain in the square spewed upwards and then smashed into the pool below with the drizzle.

The rain gradually stopped, the wind blew away the clouds overhead, and the sun immediately showed a smiling face.

I bought a breakfast at the breakfast stall, sat on a chair and ate it indiscriminately, pacing slowly. Anyway, when a person comes out, there is time. Inadvertently, I came to the Catherica where Goethe was baptized, so I decided to go to see Goethe's house.

After walking a few streets, I turned the corner and suddenly a small square appeared. On the south side of the square is a towering building with the flags of the European Union and Frankfurt, and on the east side is a sculpture of two bulls, which appears to be a stock exchange. A Chinese couple took a photo with a girl nearby, the girl was clamoring to climb on the back of a cow, and the mother reprimanded her daughter in Chinese not to cry. The girl's father didn't seem to be very talkative, holding a camera, looking at his wife and daughter with a helpless expression. Turning his head to see Bian Xuedao, his expression was stunned, and when he saw Bian Xuedao walking to his side with a smile on his face, the man asked: "Chinese?"

Bian Xuedao nodded.

The man's expression relaxed and said, "Can you take a picture of our family?"

Bian Xuedao said: "No problem. ”

In the shot, the girl is riding on her father's shoulder, touching the bull sculpture with her little hands, and her mother is standing next to the girl to support the girl, and the family of three is smiling at the camera in the sun.

Say goodbye to the three of them, and then go to the garrison base camp that I came to yesterday, a few steps to the west, and a small square, there are two sculptures, there is a street sign between the two sculptures, walk over, turn a street corner, Goethe's house appears in front of you.

The entrance to the house is sealed and can only be reached by passing through the Goethe House Museum. From the exit of the exhibition room, go down the stairs to the first floor, and before entering the small lecture hall, there is an inconspicuous sign on the left that points in the direction of the Goethe house. After passing through a gallery, you will arrive at the backyard of Goethe's house, which is small but full of greenery.

The four-storey residence is full of romantic luxury. The rooms are wallpapered in different colors depending on the purpose, the dining room is yellow, the living room is red, the concert hall is blue, and so on. The corridors and stairwells are filled with souvenirs brought back from the owner's travels, and a pendulum clock is still in operation in the hallway on the third floor.

The room where Goethe is said to have been born, hung with two brass decorations, with stars on top, representing life, and lyres below, representing death. On the top floor, in the writing room, which is much simpler, with only a chaise longue and a desk, it is here that Goethe completed many of his early works, including The Sorrows of Young Werther.

A recliner and a desk silently tell the dry days and nights of more than 200 years ago.

Although the growth of a writer is inseparable from the support and nurturing of his family, the creation of literary works requires the writer's lonely and arduous thinking, not only literature, but also the creation of other industries.
