Bubble Tea and Curryworscht
Hey everyone today I went out to meet up with Rodney from New York City who is currently on a trip around Europe and came to Frankfurt am Main to visit.
We randomly met in Tokyo last year at the hostel and we checked out the big Gundam in Tokyo together.
We decided to hit up a few places in the city and I wanted to show him around a little bit and take some videos and pictures for his travel site called “Juntos Worldwide” , you should go and check it out it is a really cool website with interesting content especially if you are into backpacking.
We met up at this hostel in Frankfurt called the Five Elements Hostel (Moselstr. 40) its really close to the Mainstation (Frankfurt Hauptbhf) and easy to find aswell, first impression was decent and Rodney told me that the rooms look very clean and nice aswell. Maybe something to recommend if you are staying in Frankfurt!? Here are some pictures I took while I was waiting downstairs.
Today also another really cool shop just opened around the corner on Münchenerstraße 40, its called Cha-kka.
If you have been to any parts in Asia you might be familiar with this, they sell a drink called “Bubble Tea” , you might ask yourself whats that!?, well you should just go there and try it!! trust me its goooood! Its basically black milk tea or fresh green tea mixed with different flavours and you can choose from different Tapioka pearls as a topping which is some kind of “jelly-ish” stuff.
Also a big shoutout goes out to the owner of the shop for letting us get the free drink, we just didnt notice that they were giving out free cups to everyone in line!!
Really cool of them and I’ll definitely drop by everytime I am in the area to get me some Bubble Tea now, count on that I’m already addicted haha.
The place was packed too! People love Bubble Tea!
They are also sponsoring this next big party organized by Dynasty-Events which is going to be on a cruise ship on the Main river in Frankfurt. Find out more about that right here ->click<-.
Alright after getting our sugar levels up we had to go and grab some gooood Currywurst and by gooood I mean really hot hot spicy Currywurst at no other place than “Best Worscht in Town”.
Rodney did an interview with one of the guys working there for his website make sure to also follow him on his twitter account @JuntosWorldWide.
The video will be uploaded to his website as soon as he got the editing done so the best thing you can do is bookmark his website and check for twitter updates.
Look at the table, this is how it looks like if you are a real gadget-head HD camcorder, DSLR camera, smartphone and a really cool Lomography Diana F camera.
Always prepared to give you some really cool coverage from all over the world.
This kinda reminded me of Castlevania lol yeah I know (…).
Heres another really cool gadget that Rodney was carrying around at all times, its some kind of GPS-Tracker that helps you geotag your photos so you could have google maps etc. showing you the exact
position of where you have taken a picture and helps people to find pictures that were taken in Frankfurt for example. Pretty cool feature, have you tried this too!? I know some cameras have that feature build right in.
Well nothing is complete without a real Ebbelwoi, before we called it a day we hit up this place after walking around for about 5 hours.
Hope you guys still enjoy reading our blog I thought I’ll just drop in some of those photowalk posts from time to time, hit me up on twitter too.
Oh and before I forget big thanks to Rodney for this really awesome T-Shirt!!! Wu-Tang forever!

peace!
It went dowwwwwn…
So, this is my first post after we got back from New York and Boston. We had a great time, even though we only spent a couple of days in those cities. Part of it was shopping like mad krayzie (and after it getting lost in Harlem, but that’s another story…). The first thing I did after our arrival (and a night without sleep at the airport) was to put all this stuff on my bed. Maaaaan, I do like it!!! And big shout outs to German Customs, that were not present at the airport when we arrived. ;-)
I will highlight some things during the next days.
New York City Quick Update.
Hey Hey from New York City Harlem to be exact, I’m staying at the L Hostel didnt get the chance to take alot of pictures yet and I dont have a card reader on my macbook (apple go put a card reader on your notebooks). Well we took a flight to Philadelphia where we had to catch a connecting flight to NYC, the flight to Philadelphia was delayed by 2 hours and we had to wait about 30mins in the air to finally land in Philadelphia because the runway was blocked… So we thought we couldnt get our connecting flight on time but it worked out since they waited for about 30mins it was all stress and running around but well what can you do.
So right now I’m planning my day here in New York will post photos once I get back to Germany on monday!.
peace
Random Shot #11
I think this picture was taken somewhere over China but I’m not really sure anymore, I believe it was on the way back to Germany from Hong Kong. I remember that the girl next to me was from China and we had some smalltalk about how she once travelled to Tibet and went all around the mountain areas of China as we looked down the window and that I should try that out once. Someday I actually might, sounds like a great adventure makes me want to go travel the world again :).
Picture was taken with a Lomo LC-A, a small analogue camera. Check out the “Random Shot” category for more.
