πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Being back in Germany after a year … πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Being back in Germany after a year made me realize quite a few things:

πŸ₯¨πŸ₯– I have to admit, I missed fresh bread and bakeries more than I thought. While living abroad, I was never one of those Germans desperately searching for German baked goods, let alone baking my own bread. I felt pretty content with toast and bagels. Then I arrived at Frankfurt International Airport, and the delicious smell of freshly baked goods reached my nostrils- what a feeling.

〰️ Germans really don’t know how to properly queue. I was shocked to see how people tried to get into airplanes and buses: instead of lining up, they just push their way through the crowd.

🚴🚢Beware of bicycles and pedestrians. While the shoulder check might be somewhat optional elsewhere, it is absolutely mandatory in Germany when riding your bike or driving a car.

πŸ’‘Have you ever been to Germany?
πŸ’‘Do you have any other observations?
