Champagne Wishes and Dim Sum Dreams
Happy Leap Year! Yesterday, I learned the difference between champagne and sparkling wine. Some of the activities organized by the American women's club I joined, include daytrips to museums, factories, etc. So I decided to go on a tour of the Kupferberg museum and cellars in Mainz with the group. Technically, Kupferberg produces "Sekt" which falls between champagne and sparkling wine. After a sample glass of rose Sekt at the end of the tour, we all went out to lunch at a Mexican restaurant.
On Wednesday, I got to see the seedier side of Frankfurt. The women's club had organized a dim sum lunch. The restaurant was in the red light district. I stepped out of the central train station and because I was overpunctual (as usual), I decided to walk around a bit. I kept thinking "must not make eye contact with anyone" as I walked down Taunusstrasse. That was the first time I've seen an internet porn cafe...
The dim sum was very good (that means, no chicken feet or thousand-year-old eggs) and I enjoyed meeting new people. One of the women told me that the Taunusstrasse is actually fairly safe because they have had so many cops patrolling that area. Must make mental note not to go there again.

I've been wondering where to get dim sum in Frankfurt! Can you give directions from the Hbf?
I met a Chinese guy from there and asked him and he looked at me like I was growing a second head...
Hi C N,
the place is called Jade China Box and is located on Taunusstr. 50, Phone: 069 42892682 and they speak English. When you get out of the Hauptbahnhof, you face Kaiserstr and to the left (north), Taunusstr. It's half a block up on Taunusstr.
Hey, would you add me to your list of blogs again?
Ooh, thanks for pointing that out. I really suck at updating my blog roll because I use Google Reader now!
Hey, you haven't lived until you've eaten chicken feet and thousand year old eggs! ;-)
I'll make a note of the address too. A good Chinese restaurant is hard to come by. Thanks!
