I don't mind paying for restrooms, especially when they are kept extremely clean by attentive attendants.
One of my favorite things to do in a foreign country is tour a grocery store. You can really learn a lot that way.
When you mix beer with lemonade or fruit syrup, it's actually pretty good.
Though it seems impossible, a three minute layover is actually plenty of time when making a train connection in Germany.
Germans really like ice cream - keeping DH from eating 6 ice cream cones a day was quite a challenge.
They also value freshly squeezed orange juice, which made me very happy!
Berliners take the crosswalk signals very seriously and rarely cross on a "don't walk" signal, even right in front of the British Embassy where the road was blocked off and there was no traffic.
I wonder if the people complaining that there weren't more signs and tours in English are the same ones complaining about things in the US being translated into Spanish.
I will never understand why DH spends so much time and energy choosing, packing, and carrying so much camera gear when he uses the same stuff all the time.
Traveling for long periods of time in a foreign country is a great way to test any relationship.
It's a good thing we walked so much or I wouldn't have been able to fit into my clothes when we left. They are feeling pretty snug as it is.
We were impressed that the large toy store had only one small section of (mainly American branded) bleepy toys. It was filled, however, with wooden toys, dolls, puzzles, and construction sets of all sorts.
Every toilet in every stall has its own toilet brush.

You have to admire a country with a public transportation system that is largely dependent on the honor system.
I really should have known from my Peace Corps days that when a local says that a path, "isn't too bad," they really mean, "we never heard from the last foreigner who went that way."
