I've only been to Germany once ( to Leipzig) but we found and old abandoned locomotive storage yard, like the one from Thomas the Tank Engine at the end of the episodes.

People were having a rollerblading competition in it. It was neat.

Hi there.
There should be less beer tourists to Germany because their beer is overrated but there should be more wine tourists to Germany because their wine is underrated.

Germany is a lovely country and germans are friendly and welcoming and have a healthy attitude of guilt over their country's imperial crimes. It's like the opposite of England.

Yeah the English making fun of nazis for killing people because of the racisms is a real :ironicat:

BTW I'm reading Late Victorian Holocausts and it's a real good tally of our crimes and the most "interesting" bit is seeing the origin of all our awful attitude that still exist to this day, expressed in newspapers that still exist and expect respect

There's a great bit where rhe Economist, while millions are dying due to free market famine, has a go at the one guy who managed to prevent famine in his province for "teaching indolent Indians that the government has a responsiblility to keep them alive". His policies meant that only 23 people died of famine under his watch.

He was so badly shamed in London and the press for this that the next famine he went full psycho and killed millions like everyone else, sending his skeletonised population on deathmarches and being furious at them for lamenting

I had to spend the night in the Frankfurt airport once because Lufthansa changed our flight time and didn’t notify us. Then they wouldn’t give us new tickets because it was against policy, we had to call Continental or whatever their partner in the US is to get it changed without having to buy new tickets.

I wanted to buy a pillow and a blanket because we had to sleep there to catch the morning flight, but there weren’t any stores selling poo poo like that. They do have plenty of jewelry stores and places to buy €3000 suits though.

gently caress the Frankfurt airport and double gently caress Lufthansa.

This almost happened to me in Munich, where the time to catch my connecting flight after getting off the first one was literally impossible. They tried stonewalling me but I think I looked angry enough that they made it work out.

Also come to Northern Ireland, we have an airport named after a guy who died from years of chronic alcohol abuse. Just the thing to inspire confidence in the overworked underpaid people in charge of flying you to your destinattion.

Southern Europe is weird, because the local women are tougher than either women or men in the north.
Unfortunately the sexism from the men is also way stronger so. :shrug:

But really all of this is moot because of the food factor.
Just absolute unquestioned violent domination.
Possibly the biggest neighboring imbalance on earth.

France kinda mucks it up, but maybe it's the Romance language factor. Like even in the frigid rocky woods of the north, speaking something like that naturally spices the soul up.
