Creator's Key Takeaways

German people will not go across the street it doesn't matter if there's no cars coming in this direction and no cars coming in this direction if there is a red light there we're not crossing the street.

a beer is usually one of the cheapest things on the menu to drink and sometimes it's even cheaper than water.

most of the time when I hear North American people speaking English they're always the loudest people in whatever situation they're in.

Germans don't know what salty popcorn is I know what's wrong with them here for some reason German culture only allows sweet popcorn.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't cross the street on a red light, even if there are no cars.
✓In restaurants, you choose your own table unless there is a sign saying otherwise.
✓Expect to pay for water; tap water is available but rarely requested.
✓Bring your own bags for grocery shopping.
✓Be aware of bicycle paths on sidewalks and do not walk on them.
✓On the Autobahn, stay in the right lane unless you are driving very fast.

Different cultures and countries around the world have different traditions. If you are travelling from North America, for example, to Germany, (or other European countries), certain things will appear "different" to you. As a tourist, sometimes it's important to modify certain things in order not to stick out of the crowd. These weird things that Germans do might help you! #europe #travel #tourism Get my NEW BOOK!
