You Know Your'e in Deutschlnad When.... (Part I)

• Driving 180-190kmph is the norm, and if you go slower than 120kmph, you are considered a VERY slow driver, and should keep to the right lane.
• Meals are typically eaten together, and from what I have gathered from other German Inbounds, each family has their own customs that they adhere to.
• Bikes Bikes Everywhere.....
• You are lost without a GPS in your car.
• Markets do not have shopping bags provided for you.  You bring your own.
• Recycling is also done at the Market.  EVERYONE recycles.

• Windows always open inwards.
• Bier and Wine are sold in supermarkets right next to cheese and candy.  There is no separate liquor store.
• Although the steryotypical microscopic Euro cars are seen a bit more often than in the states, most people drive cars that are designed for speed.  Bikes instead of cars are typically used when the driving time is less than 10 or 20 minutes

.

• German and American music is played on the radio.  Yup.  I will put an emphasis on Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga.
• Bikes are required to have a bell, reflectors, and a light.
• They speak German here... 
• Traffic laws are adhered to.  You WILL get stopped if your licence plate is even an inch out of place, let alone missing.
• If an American were to come to Germany without any sort of knowledge of customs, they would think the Germans were crazy drivers, when in fact since everyone drives crazy fast, it is considered normal!
• Everything except Fuel Stations and Bäckeri are closed on Sunday.
• American and Europa clothing styles are quite the same! What was I so worried about before?
• Pandora does not work.  That and Vevo.

 And that is all for now....

Gruß Gröt!
