This entire week I’ve been blogging without internet. In order to get internet I’ve had to visit a cafe in Frankfurt, Germany called “Baguette Companyâ€. The owner is nice, he even shakes my hand when I come in. I pay $2.50 for a coke with unlimited refills (the first time I’ve ever seen unlimited anything in Germany) and get unlimited Internet. With the current exchange rate, (the dollar is worth next to nothing) I’m paying $3.83 for that coke. Though that coke seems expensive, it’s better than having no Internet at all.
So far I’d have to admit that Frankfurt, Germany is one of the most expensive cities I’ve lived in in a long time. It costs me nearly $1.57 to buy just one euro. That makes even McDonalds seem expensive. The only way I’ve been able to offset the ever worsening dollar exchange rate is by cooking myself, walking everywhere by foot, and drinking a lot of water. Water is more healthy for me anyway.
This lack of Internet has really made it hard to find time to really “grow†my blogs. Rather I’ve just been able to maintain and write. I’ve had to spend a lot of time without Internet just writing.

Can’t you find any free wifi zones in the center?

free when you purchase a drink, otherwise, nope. Strange that Frankfurt is that way
