Today was our last day together in Germany. It was not as emotional as saying goodbye to my Paderborn friends since I will see most of them again on campus. I didn’t get up until noon and then I went to Starbucks as usual. Near Starbucks, there was a religious event going on and you could get a free massage at the event appeartly. Late afternoon, followed by saying goodbye to my German friends in the lobby, I went shopping. Skyline Plaza is one of the most popular malls in the city which is a 10-15 min walk from the hotel. Half of the stores were American brands interestingly, such as Lush, Hollister, abercrombie& Fitch, etc. And they had a store called American Food Club. They sell some authentic American snacks like Pringles, Sour Patches, Coke Cola(I was surprised, prob cuz the coke here is different), etc. I thought about getting my nails done in the mall but the price for acrylics is 48 euro; it’s usually 35 dollars in the US. My biggest surprise at the mall was Chipotle! It’s the only Chipotle I have found in Germany, wondering if there’s a difference tho. The mall was nice enough to walk around but didn’t have anything special enough to purchase. I might go to this shopping village tomorrow that’s 2 hours train ride away.
Around 8pm, it got cold suddenly and started pouring. All of us headed over to an ice cream place nearby in replace of a goodbye dinner. I ordered a Banana Split that I made everyone else finish it for me. I have one more day in Frankfurt and then I’m gonna be out. Not ready to be home yet.
