This early year, we stepped out our comfort zone, wrapped up our jewels and watches and headed to Frankfurt, Germany. We finally had our very first international trade show - Ambiente 2015, the biggest show in Europe. It was a long 5 days show in a giant venture - Messe Frankfurt and we met so many new and friendly European business people and friends there. It was a great experience for us, not only we have learned so much about the differences of how people doing business in Europe, but also collected first hand valuable information for our brand to grow in that continent.
Frankfurt is a beautiful city, mixed with tradition and modern life style. Germans are friendly and warm, and taxis are always so spotlessly clean, not to mention, most of them are Mercedes-Benz. Needless to say, Frankfurt left us a beautiful impression. Will be back and see you again soon, Frankfurt! :)

This year at the show, USA happened to be the partner country. Every year, there is a different partner country and many different programs and events are based on showcasing and introducing the partner country.
The table setting at the Ambiente Gala - celebrating the partner country of the year: USA. Traditional American food, drinks and entertainment were provided for thousands of the guests. It was a wonderful evening.
The beautiful Le Meridien Park Hotel we stayed while we were in Frankfurt. Central location, great service and only minutes away from the Central Station, very convenient. Highly recommended.
The view from our hotel window. Frankfurt am Main, the dynamic and international financial and trade fair city with the most imposing skyline in Germany.
Our time in Frankfurt for leisure was very limited. But we still managed to stopped a few local attractions. Here is Römer, a nowaday city hall complex. The actual ‘Römer’, however, is only the middle one of three houses with its characteristic stepped gables. It has served as a town and city hall since 1405.
The Cathedral (Dom) - Its beginnings date back to the year 852. Ten emperors were crowned here between 1562 and 1792.
