Frankfurt is what you make out of it

Frankfurt am Main, 24.FEB.2013
"Frankfurt is the financial and transport centre of Germany and the largest financial centre in continental Europe. It is the seat of the European Central Bank..."
...Blahblahblah sounds like the most boring city in the world, but it's not. Well it depends what you make out of it. Below is a description of, what I think,a perfect day in Frankfurt would be like. In my mind it would be colourful, individual and creative.
