little things
It’s the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they’re a little different. Examples? imdb
some things I have noticed along the way.
- Eggs come in packs of 10, not 12. But beer comes in 6-packs
- You have to deposit a 1 Euro coin to use a shopping cart at the grocery store. They don’t bag your groceries and you have to pay for the bag (0.15)
- Traffic lights turn orange + red before turning green. Almost like drag racing.
- Gas costs 1.15 Euro a litre which equals about $5.60 a gallon.
- Beer, on the other hand, costs about 11 Euros for 20 half litre bottles. That’s around 50 cents for a great 12 oz beer. Not too shabby.
- The burrito equivalent in Germany is the Döner Kebab. It is a roll filled with Yiro meat (turkey) cooked on a vertical rotissery. Served with lettuce, tomatoes, cuccumber sauce, and pepper. They average around $3.00 and are awesome.
