- The back of the pizza box is written in 20 different languages.... EXCEPT English.
- You buy your snacks at the movies: You sit down in the threatre, and people come around with trays selling ice cream and drinks.
- Beer can be cheaper than water.
- Biking everywhere is the norm, and walking to the city is a conceivable idea.
- You buy bread at the bakery every Sunday morning. You better get there early, because there are long lines, and they typically close before 11am.
- That package of skittles at Rossmans might cost you 5€... but the texbook size RitterSport Chocolate is only 99 cents.
- There is an additional meal of Coffee and Cake squeezed in between lunch and dinner. Yes, Germans have coffee any time in the day.
- You are lucky if you manage to track down a Starbucks in Hamburg, but there is a Rossmans on EVERY corner.
- Tights are leggings and leggings are pants. Jeans must be skinny... you would be very hard pressed to find any other style of jeans in the store for less than €70.
- I will say it again. McDonald's here are WAY classy. You shouldn't be in anything less than a Burberry Pea Coat to even think about approaching the McCafé counter.
- You wear house-shoes inside the house. Most people have extra house-shoes for guests when they are invited over.
- You don't wear sweatpants in public.
- Ugg Boots, Converse Shoes, and Hollister will cost TRIPLE what they are in the US. A new pair of Ugg boots is going to be 400USD or more.
- People look at you funny when you drink tap water.
- It is the end of November. 50°F and no snow.
