Germany is a beautiful country full of history.
I loved all the old building, castles, and downtown plazas and pedestrian areas.
Germany is very clean and the people are very environmentally friendly (all their trash must be sorted and vehicles need special stickers to drive in the large cities).
The people are different..we are used to southern hospitality and friendliness...but friendly is a not a word I would use to describe most Germans you meet on the street. Not because they are intentionally rude...they just aren't friendly.
I love the autobahn....Germans are the best drivers..everyone knows the rules and they follow them. No wonder they are safe drivers with no speed limit.
Having to pay to go to the bathroom was something that took getting used to. It didn't matter if you were eating at the McDonalds, in the mall, or at a rest stop on the autobahn ...you have to pay 50 euro cents. But I have to admit, when we stopped at the rest stop on the autobahn it was the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen. The toilet seat automatically cleans itself after every flush...so its was well worth it!
Having to pay for ketchup also seemed strange.
Germans like sparkling or mineral water...so you have to be careful about which water you get ...no gas/no bubbles!
The missionaries we saw are doing a great job...and made me stop and consider what my priorities should really be! Because in eternity, most of the things we value will be worthless.
