Orchard Road - from another view

Went to the top of Orchard Central to have Pho (Vietnamese noodle) with my wife the other day.  It was at a restaurant at the top of Orchard Central.

The Pho was nice but I feel that it should not be eaten in such a posh restaurant.  Sometimes the venue and the food do not match and this is one of them.  I cannot imagine eating fish ball noodle in a posh restaurant.  It is meant to be eaten along the street or at a hawker centre or food court.

What I like about the place was the view.  Perhaps the weather contributed to the good feeling too - it was a cooling evening.

My first impression was - New York Skywalk.  However this is only about 100 metres whereas the Skywalk stretches for kilometres.

The view of parts of Orchard Road was also refreshing.  It is quite a nice place to just hand out as some young ones did.

Frankfurt - 9th Dec 2013

Have not posted for a long long time.  Anyway, been busy - honing my guitar skills, reading, went to the US and Spain, writing some new songs, arranging song for guitar, etc.....  Will post some songs later.

For this post, I want to share some pictures of Frankfurt when we were there on 9th Dec 2012.  It was not a planned visit but we missed our connecting flight (flying in from Madrid) and so have to wait 24 hours for the next flight.  Many flights were cancelled on that day due to weather.  Lufthansa was kind enough to book us into a hotel in the city for one night.

So instead of waiting at the airport, we made a visit to Frankfurt - Roemer.

It was Christmas time and really enjoyed the atmosphere.  Temperature was below 10 degrees C that day but it was OK.  Beside soaking in the atmosphere, attended Mass, ate pork knuckle and drank hot wine.

Think we went to the St Bartholomew Catholic Dome.

The people were also nice.  At least they spoke English....

Frankfurt was something unplanned but it turned out to be really enjoyable.

Day after heavy snow outside our hotel.

The main railway station.

Scenes from the Christmas market.

Think this is the St Bartholomew Catholic Dome.
