So this is the GOETHE TURM. This is a very very high tower in my neighborhood. Many people come to this area to have neighborhood cookouts. It’s very beautiful to see the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening. The handsome devil in the picture is Fahad. This man is one of my closest friends at Goethe Institut. He was always competitive and we always had a great time battling with the German exercises we played. He never allowed me to slack off and I did the same with him. We always helped each other in the areas the other person found more challenging. For instance my weakest part was the sentence structure and word placement. He struggled with new words. He would remind as many times as it took for it to sink into my brain. I was more of a word book so I helped him with the word associations. Ultimately, it would help him regurgitate the word in a more timely fashion. In this picture, you see he is sitting down. This is because he decided to race me (the full time athlete and tennis coach) up the stairs of the Goethe Turm. Also, keep in mind this tower is no kids playground. Everytime you think the tower in finished, there is yet another flight of stairs. Yeah and this did not go so well for him. Hence his sitting on the floor. But since he can’t back down from a challenge, this is the result. Anyways , we looked over the trees and just talked for about 30 minutes. I love my neighborhood. This is a wonderful tourist attraction. Featuring the Goethe Turm itself, The Barbecue area, Fußballplatz (Soccer Field), and the biking and walking trails. If you ever find yourself in Sachsenhausen, Frankfurt am Main, MAKE SURE you come visit the Goethe Turm. P.s. Don’t race your full time athletic friends. At some point, you will take a break every single flight of stairs while gasping for air. In the pictures, you can see all the banks in the distance. Swiss bank, ECB, Sparkasse etc. I think, for me, seeing basically all the places I’ve been to at one time is very breathtaking. I start to have flash backs of the times I spent there and the experiences I shared with close friends. I absolutely love Germany. I think of the Hessen region as my second home. The people here are very welcoming. At the end of the day, when I truly think about Germany, the people really just want to see a smile on each other’s faces. Idk about you my readers but this is just heart warming. COME TO SACHSENHAUSEN FRANKFURT AM MAIN. This is the the most diverse city in Germany. I believe it adds flavor to the cultural background. It also spices up the experiences. Having differences is a beautiful thing. Cherish those differences, because it’s what makes every person unique. STAY TUNED!!! tomorrow more stories to come!!!
