So, we're still quite jet-lagged and am currently going on less than 2 hours of sleep, but I believe I'm coherent enough to do a quick "initial thoughts" post:
  • Germany does not believe in:
    • Air Conditioning
    • Air vents in bathrooms (the steam doesn't go anywhere fast after a shower)
    • Idling cars (you can get fined if you leave a car idling for more than 3 minutes)
    • Speeding within any town or city (speed cameras EVERYWHERE)
    • Low voltage (everything is 220V)
    • Doing anything work related on a Sunday (everything is closed, except restaurants)
    • Crappy cars
    • Big kitchens
    • Screens on windows
    • Crime
    • Big refrigerators
  • Germany does believe in:
    • Cleanliness
    • Good beer
    • Comfort food
    • Nice cars
    • Huge, heavy, thick doors
    • Oil heating
    • Using fresh, local, in season, ingredients in food
    • Taking time to enjoy a meal (3-4 hours for dinner)
    • Staring
    • Concrete walls in homes
    • Wine cellars
    • Dogs, dogs, dogs! (They love them!)
    • Good coffee
    • Very long words ( Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung = "speed limit")
