Germany Dos and Don'ts

Dresden is a town with a historic past. Completely distroyed during WWII it has been rebuilt. The "Zwinger" and the "Semper" opera are musts to see. A very efficient public transport system with modern trams. And old steamboats on the Elbe River. Eat the Dresdner Stollen, mainly at Christmas and buy some of the famous Meissner porcelaine.

FEG Ettlingen, Interacting with Locals,

This is a city associated with the author Thomas Mann - visit his and his brother's place called Buddenbrooks here, now a sort of museum, where you see manuscripts and other paraphernalia linked to him...and perhaps pick up a bottle or so of local wine too...otherwise a lovely little city too with the typical charm of small northern German cities like Bremen...stroll around on its streets admiring the surrounds and taking in the clean crisp air...

Scams run rampant. If someone asks you to buy them a drink, you had better know what they are asking you to pay before they place the order; they could work for the establishment and cahrge whatever they think you are worth for probably tap water. As a general rule, if you seek something out or find something on your own to buy, great; if someone approaches you concerning anything related to money changing hands, just say no.
