QuoteBerlin is vey unGerman. That's why it's so cool.
Except when you walk across an empty street when the red light is on. To say that 'it is frowned upon' is an understatement.
Yer all free to go to town games.

Try it in Russia. Nearly got my passport confiscated.
What opinions dose your average Joe Soap/Hans Soap on the German street have of us? When you compare the way we socialise, drive, dress etc, they must think we are unusual. I don't mean to generalise, but come on.
They almost park in alphabetic order and we double park but we leave our hazard warning lights on which tells the world that we will only be a few minutes.
"I'm just getting a kebab but I want to eat it hot therefore I am not parking in that space 20 meters away".

German bloke that I used to live with before said we deal with stuff a lot better than in Germany, like if the bus is late in Germany (which does happend from time to time) people will start sweating, phoning the bus company, almost panicing, but if it happens here, we just go "fcuking typical" and continue waiting
Another thing he noticed was that people in a queue will talk to each other, even if it's just to ask for the right time, or comment on the weather, and that doesn't happen in Germany at all
That's not surprising seeing as Germans don't know how to form a queue.
Not once but twice, my 5 year old daughter was pushed (and I mean pushed) when an Elevator door opened. They just don't hang about. That said, I loved Berlin and am returning in August for a weekend.

You are on your way ya boy ya! Enjoy! I would be jealous only have my own wee trip to Vegas and San Fran to look forward to next weekend!
Vegas is awesome. Have you heard of the twenty dollar trick? I tried it twice and it worked both times. Basically, you wrap a $20 note around your credit card when you check in and ask for the best room available. I stayed at the Mandaly Bay and then a few years later the MGM Grand. I got bumped up both times. Where are you staying?You are on your way ya boy ya! Enjoy! I would be jealous only have my own wee trip to Vegas and San Fran to look forward to next weekend!

German mayor defends 'men only' parking spots
A town in southwest Germany has drawn accusations of sexism after designating two particularly tricky parking spaces "men only."
The mayor of the Black Forest town of Triberg says women would find it difficult to park there because drivers need to back in diagonally without hitting a pillar and a wall.
Gallus Strobel noted that 12 places in the 220-capacity car park are reserved for women. Many German cities designate a small number of parking spaces, usually near exits, for women concerned about their personal safety in poorly-lit garages.
Strobel told The Associated Press on Thursday that he had received overwhelmingly positive reactions from men who feel discriminated against by "women only" parking.
But the Triberg mayor says some "humourless people" had criticized the move.

Say what you will about the Germans, but brilliant ideas like these are why they basically supporting Europe right now.

Surely this should be under 'Travel', as would have like to have read your thoughts?
And why go to the US when you can go to Canada?
