I have never liked the cold – I struggle with any temperature below 20°C. So when I found out that I was going to be on a business trip to Frankfurt, Germany in winter, I was quite worried.

With the support (and sympathy) of loved ones, I geared myself with the right tools to prepare for the “onslaught” of winter. Several excursions of retail therapy to get the warmest clothing possible made me feel more confident as I was getting closer to my maiden trip to Germany.
