History Field Trip to Germany!

[Narcotic]

So tell me. What should I be on the look out for when I'm in Germany? How's the weather during that time? What local food should I try? Do people in Germany know English as well? Any etiquette I must know so as to not insult the local populace?

Could also use some tips on basic German. Basic communications skills such as "How much?" and "How do I get to such-and-such?" always come in handy.

Weather is 'perfect' currently. Well, it is where I live.

You really should try the famous Schnitzel and Bratwurst. Don't forget a fresh 'Pils' Bier as drink.

About the english skills; Most people... - no. Everyone can speak english. Seriously. Don't need to learn german just for a small trip. But saying stuff like "Danke.", "Hallo.", "Guten Tag/Abend.", "Auf wiedersehen." etc. would draw a smile on some people's face.

I know I know.

Saying "Heil Hitler" in Germany will have you lynched by an angry mob.

I sure hope the blur people in my school won't do anything funny. I have a classmate who believed that people in Germany revere Hitler as a hero. I told her if she said that in Germany, she'll be swamped by an angry mob.

It's not that extreme actually. People make fun of Hitler here, too. Or at least, where I live.
When being in Berlin or DDR... well better don't.:D

But hey, I've been once in France, when a stranger beat me in my face, while saying "Nazi". Just because I'm german. That's extreme.;)

Just stick to younger people. They're more relaxed.
