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!
Entered a restaurant right at opening time in Munich once.
<<Grüß Gott! Leider haben wir nur Wurst, Kartoffel, und Bier.>>
<<Ganz genug.>>
Lol if only it was this good…
Enjoy the museums
Some guy’s house he converted into a studio and charges people to enter
Sounds fuckin’ mint to be fair.
Get me some tourism and carbs.
You‘re in luck because German bakeries house 3 thousand different kinds of bread.
To the extent that even locals just point and say „das da“ because who fucking knows what they’re calling each one.
“Ein Häferblaubeerschmeckendorflibrötchen, bitte”
“mit Scharf, oder?”
“mit Wespen, bitte, danke!”
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
That sausage is perfectly average. Small even.
You need to report to the Willkommenswurstausgabestelle.
I couldn’t spell that if I was looking right at it while doing so.
Did you remember to fill out the Willkommenmenschengrößewurstanfrageformulare when you arrived?
My duolingo is paying off… I understood that!
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.
Franzbrötchen
Agreed, and get it from the train station. Fresh batch every 10minutes
If I’m ever visiting Hamburg, I’ll be eating a Hamburger. Or perhaps s Hamburgerinne.
Hamburg is actually known for its fish buns.
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.
They started selling those in my corner of Europe and the store (coop) calls them, roughly translated, “Franz’s cinnamon pastry”.
but don’t ask about the trains. or israel.
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!
Never been to Germany, but this makes me want to go, not going to lie.
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?
In france you have to go to foreign restantrants to get repetitive menus (pizzerias, kebab places, etc)
No. Most restaurants have a selection of flavors. Germany was sausages on kraut, in water, or pounded out chicken/pork.
You havent been to an actual german Restaurant. That sounds like a tourist trap.
They’ve got some awesome falafel.
Cute! I would like to go someday.
I highly recommend!

Belgium has plenty of free potatoes right now.
Why go to “museums” when you can watch Germany participating in genocide right now?
Kleiner Dummkopf
Because they have the raddest Archaeopteryx specimen.
