So far Germany has been a blast. Wednesday night we went to a festival, and at first I wasn't really looking forward to spending a lot of money on carnival rides. But eventually the Germans persuaded me to ride with them. It is so much cheaper here, and the rides go for a lot longer.
The pros continue with the food. They have döner, currywurst, spaghetti eis (which is ice cream in the form of spaghetti), and so much more. They have these small food shops all over the city, so that whenever you are hungry, you can stop wherever you are. The public transportation is great. It does take longer, but its a lot easier to just hop on a bus or train and ride to wherever you need to be.
With everything I love about Germany, there are some things I miss about America. Even though the public transportation is awesome, I do miss being able to get in my car and get to wherever I need to be in 20 minutes tops. I miss free bathrooms everywhere you go. Here you have to pay for bathrooms. I don't know how much they cost because I'm not going to pay for the bathroom, but it sucks. Also you can't go into a restaurant and just simply get a glass of water. You have to pay for it. It is the same with refills. Even in McDonald's you have to pay for a refill.
That brings up another topic. I never thought I would go to McDonald's here, but we were on a trip to the Baltic Sea and we just stopped to eat. It is so much better in Germany. Since the Euro Cup is going on, they have special Deutschland burgers. Not only this but they have special fries too! When I got my burger I really expected the patty to be halfway off the sandwich with the toppings stacked in the middle like in America, but it seems like they care a lot more here.
