 🇩🇪 Observations from travel in Germany 🇩🇪 

Ice cubes for drinks…  they are very hard to come by 

Water… it’s almost always in a glass bottle & the natives prefer sparkling to still 

Washcloth… where is the washcloth in the bathroom, there isn’t one ? 

Bedsheets… WTF? There is a fitted sheet over the bed mattress, but no sheet, just a sleeping comforter, and it’s very small.

Bathroom showers… there is no shower curtain. The shower enclosure is always too small & the floor always gets soaking wet.

Breakfast… the Germans love their meats & cheeses, especially ham. 

Pigeons… Germany has the largest damn pigeons I’ve ever seen in my life. They’re like the size of a duck. https://image.nostr.build/41bf84054884533746f8ff0d365bfad1ea901d7c7caf79846eed73e08b3e0caa.jpg  
 No ice cubes and non-cold drinks: that’s pretty standard for Europe, UK and other countries around 🌎🌎🌍

Ditto bottles of sparkling/still water and having to pay for water at restaurants across the pond. 

Also, portions, MUCH smaller but people are thinner and way more fit! 
 All of that is true.  
American meal portions are disgustingly too large 

Also. This German pigeon is mutant huge! https://image.nostr.build/bb7698c8d9bca865dcbb2ffd1ed6814c846315701a0b23f5b93848dde699ff02.jpg  
 Personally, I like the huge portions cuz good value for money! 

And take home leftover are always good! 

I can’t tell how big the pigeon is since no scale to measure.

Hope you and family are having fun!

Enjoy the ⚽️ game! They’re fun!  
 Also overall, Euro people are MUCH MORE STYLISH, especially guys and dressed up = standard vs jeans & t-shirts and dressed like a slob! 

Males put MUCH MORE effort in dressing nice & stylish! 

And men’s jeans are more fitted and slim cut.
