A page of German sign-spotting today - or at least sign-spotting in Germany. Far from all of them are
in German!
Frankfurt am Main
Frankfurt is the least distinctively German place I have been in Germany. All cities have
steel-and-glass skyscrapers, but here they are the city's unofficial symbol. All sorts of international
food - you have to look for German food. A nice enough international city, but surprisingly few clues
about what country you are in.
Speaks for itself.
Let's hear it for restaurants that post giant menus in the window!
Frankfurt has more (and better)
Asian eateries than anyplace else I know in Europe. "Better" is still not the equal of Bay Area Asian eating,
but I still appreciate it, as does my budget.
Years ago when I visited Turkey, a friend briefed me that a word ending with -ler or -lar
usually is plural. So today I can make an educated guess what Salatalar might be, even without the
German subtitle.

Chicken Salad
Thai food *without* gluten - no comment.
(Later: this is probably glutamate as in monosodium, not gluten.
More power to them!)
