We’re back from holiday! Germany was great. Our favourite city was probably Hamburg because a) Miniatur Wunderland, b) Planten un Blomen and c) Hamburg DOM (we rode the big ferris wheel and there were fireworks! :D)

German tv was also funny because they have a lot of dubbed english shows. I had a great night lying in bed watching dubbed Gilmore Girls.

The people we met were all really friendly and nice, we had an awesome time. Thanks Germany!

    You're welcome! ☺️

    I'm from Hamburg and it's really nice to live here, if a bit expensive. I can actually see the Miniature Wonderland from my office building.

    Which other cities did you visit?

    You‘re in luck because German bakeries house 3 thousand different kinds of bread.

    Someone must have fucked up, because when I visited Germany I was never handed my complimentary, human sized sausage. I still had plenty of sausage, but I feel like I missed out now

    You need to report to the Willkommenswurstausgabestelle.

    What about the pretzels and the beer!

    Hamburg isn't really a pretzel state. If you visit, get a Franzbrötchen. Beer is the same as everywhere else more or less.

    Doesn't that just mean French bread?

    It's possible that the name originated during the napoleonic occupation of Hamburg, but there are other theories involving a baker named Franz. Anyway, it's neither french nor bread, it's a pastry.

    Entered a restaurant right at opening time in Munich once.

    <<Grüß Gott! Leider haben wir nur Wurst, Kartoffel, und Bier.>>

    Never been to Germany, but this makes me want to go, not going to lie.

    Ooooooh Miniatur Wunderland!

    I totally wanna go there after seeing in on TV! They have a whole show about the behind the scenes work called Wunderland XXL :)

    It's amazing!

    We saw it in 2016, and we took the behind the scenes tour (we requested an English version and they found someone to do it). The guide said they were going to bridge to another building across the water from them. I thought, "Yeah, right, that will never happen."

    A few years later, a bridge went in and now they have trains in the other building, and running through the bridge. They did it!

    Oh, if you ask people about Israel, I think you will get the answer you expect. Support for Israel seems to be concentrated in political spheres, where I'd say it's about 50:50. Most ordinary people don't care about Israel per se, but they do care about war crimes by countries we call allies

    If I ever visit Germany, it'll be purely for the sausage. 😏

    Purely for the memes, go acquire yourself some VW original part 199 398 500 A

    This part actually breaks the rule because the B variant is ketchup, not an improved variant of the original

    I went to Germany not long ago and was surprised by how every restaurant had the same exact menu. Had to find the foreign restaurants to get other flavors.

    Wait, isn't it like that in other countries also?

    What's the point of going somewhere and then looking for non-local food?

    After a week the “German” food was repetitive. The “non-local” food was pretty unique as it was still tempered to German tastes and available food stock.

    I definitely was looking for menus that had German items that were new to me but it wasn’t that easy by the end of the 2nd week.

    The German food in the US doesn’t get close to the German restaurant experience though. The old buildings, the efficiency in getting you in, the abrupt “time to leave” even if you’re not done. Buying a keg of beer for the table.

    the abrupt “time to leave” even if you’re not done

    Seems like you went to the more touristy places. Or Munich. Or a touristy place in Munich. They tend to be a little brusque and unfriendly there... It really pays off to look for places on Maps which are highly rated and a little off the beaten path. Some real gems there. I could name a few restaurants in Berlin which serve awesome German (!= Bavarian!) food that isn't repetitive.

    Why go to "museums" when you can watch Germany participating in genocide right now?
