YEs, Ive been to Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, and found myself in a small town called Renchtal once (DONT ASK!!! LOL!!) Germans are very friendly people, but arent afraid of being brutally honest either. Sometimes they may seem rude to you, especially in the northern cities. Though Hamburg is an AWESOME town, and if you go in the summer, expect the sun to just be setting in the sky at 10pm. The Southern Germans are more laid back than their northern comrades. And the Autobahn is a lot of fun, just dont get stupid. |

How Bavaria is different from How Bavaria is different from
the rest of Germany? I am
going to visit Austria and
Munchen this summer. I suspect
that Bavaria in terms of
language, culture, and
historical traditions closer
to Austria than Germany. Are
there any cities in Northern
Germany that really different
from Bavaria? How accurate my
impression of Germany would be
after visiting Munich? In
other words, is this a
Bavarian city/capital or a
German city?

Bavaria - the countryside where I live in - is probably more liberal than you would expect. Bavaria is a big state (in fact, Germany's biggest), and we're used to doing things our own way and we're famous for not caring about the federal government. Some people call us "little Texas", and maybe that's what we are. The famous German writer Goethe (or was it Schiller?) named us "a stubborn mountain folk", but whoever it was, he copied from an ancient Roman writer who wrote the same. We're not really conservative here; when I was a young voter, it was Bavarians who first voted the Greens into regional parliaments. Here in Bavaria, we're not much concerned about federal politics, unless it concerns us; and I think and sincerely hope that in this year's federal elections, Bavaria will take revenge on those politicians who cheated and mistreated us and the German people. Be ready for a surprise. Bavaria is big, and we have common vote here. We ousted the long-lasting conservative government in our state by just a few percent, but we did it. Who says we can't oust the federal government? |

you can probably find one from $800-1200. check leaving from orlando, or miami, or wherever you live really, but that is important. i believe lufthansa flies to orlando and maybe miami, and i think LTU is going to be serving miami now. but I might be getting my info wrong. to effectively answer this question, one would need to know when you are leaving, from where, and where to, and when you come back. |
