Men should never wear "manpris" as we Americans living in Germany call them. I asked Ryan if he ever would try them (not that I want him to) and he said "NEVER!" <br /><br />2. Germans love to wear dark socks with sandals. Total faux pas in my book, but they do it all the time. Apparently, white socks are a sure sign you are an American.<br /><br />3. Germans love to tell you what you are doing wrong. I have had many an old person stop me in a store and tell me (what I can understand) that my child was not dressed properly for the weather. They are sticklers for the proper outerwear. They expect hose on children in the winter, and rain pants on them in the spring. Don't even get me started on all the different shoe requirements. Perhaps, I should start my own blog...<br /><br />3. So glad you had good dining experiences out. Like I said, it depends. If you come back (please come back) we will take you to an INCREDIBLE German restaurant that is extremely kid friendly. Also, in the summer we eat mostly at Biergartens which are outside and usually have playgrounds. These are super kid friendly.<br /><br />4.Germans are EXCELLENT drivers. You do not drive in the left lane unless you are passing. They will let you know you need to get back over into the right lane. I wish the So. FLA drivers would get a clue! <br /><br />5. In Germany you pay for bathrooms, water, and ketchup. Don't ask me why, you just do! My husband used to be the cheap date (water drinker), but now his water costs more than my coke. In fact, Bier is often the cheaper option. And,if you want ketchup at McDonalds, it's extra. Unless, you get the happy meal. :) <br /><br />I hope you can catch another flight over sometime when we're not in FL (how ironic). We would love to show you some more of this beautiful country!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166158083252116534noreply@blogger.com
