So I have a list of random things unique to Europe, maybe Germany
1. Cars go whereever they want, if they can fit, they go. An example would be going down the bike size path next to the river.
2. Bikers are everywhere and will take you out. They show no mercy, even if you are in a wheelchair.
3. They don't have screens on their windows and their blinds are on the outside of their house.
4. Dogs don't wear a leash but some how follow along the bikes and don't get hit by trams or cars
5. Europe (at least Germany) does not support the $5 footlong at Subway. I tested out German subway the other day, definitely not the same as American subway.
6. Many people here think that deodorant is not an essential thing.
7. Most strollers have shocks on them so they babies don't go crazy rolling down the cobblestone
8. Water, without carbonation is really expensive. They all drink mineral water and it is much cheaper to just by pop and it some cases beer is cheaper than water. Also there are no free refills, which is really annoying.
9. You can return your plastic bottles to where you bought them and get money back so they can reuse the bottle.
10. people have beer all the time, in the middle of the day there will be people with beer on the trams
That is all I can think of off the top of my head, but I will add more later! Tomorrow morning I am off to Sweden for the day and Denmark on Sunday! Its going to be great, me and my wheelchair are going to become very close this weekend :) I hope everyone is doing well, have a great weekend!
