The school has already given us a schedule for what we can do. We're going to museums, factory tours, that sort. So no suggestions for any activities to do or places to go to.

I would like some tips on some things I should know about Germany, perhaps some German phrases I should understand, cultural differences, or laws I need to know. Anything important that I should be aware of?

It will be about a weeklong trip

"Grüß Gott" exists in BW but it has become very rare. I would say only the generation 80+ uses it regularly. Edit: source

In Swiss German, "grüezi" (which comes from "Gott grüße euch", so basically the same origin) is extremely common.

    Oh defenetly it exists. But basicly doesnt due to not being used. The same as "overmorrow" is the english word for "the day after tomorrow". Not really in use

    But i never thought "grüezi" stems from "gott grüße euch". I assumed it was from "Grüßet Euch" not related to "grüß gott" huh. I love linguistics <3
