Tab8715 posted:I would love to travel Germany sometime - for a month at least. How much should I bring? How much does a hotel/hostel cost? I spent about $2000 living there for two and a half months, but I had a room already paid for and got to eat at the Uni mensa for cheap. There are tons of memorials called Mahnmals in the north German cities I went to, there's not a good English translation, but they're basically memorials with a warning to future generations. Check out Hamburg, St. Nikolais Kirche is amazing. It's a gothic style cathedral that was bombed out in WWII and the rubble was left where it was. The steeple is still standing and has been since fitted with new bells. It's covered in soot and there are just chunks of it on the ground, absolutely amazing. Here's a picture from my study abroad trip last summer:  Click here for the full 358x604 image. There's another interesting bombed out church in Hannover that stands as a Mahnmal. Really, really interesting. I'd say it's worth going for sure and a lot less history than you think has been buried. Buildings in older parts of some cities still have soot on them from the bombings. OP: How do you feel about Bayern München and should I plan my honeymoon next summer during the group stages or the quarter-/semi-/finals of the World Cup in order to watch the DFB play and rock it out at the awesome street parties that follow such things? I was in Oldenburg for the Euro Cup and it was the most fun I've had in a long time. It was hilarious when a couple of Germans I was talking to at a bar asked me if I was Dutch, since I was wearing a DFB jersey and had a little German flag stuck in my bag.

Frank Dillinger posted:whats the deal with germany's attitude to weed? seriously, people react like it's Heroin or something. People freak out when they find out I smoke weed, but then they go out to the disko on the weekend and drink themselves into a coma. One of my roomates in the dorm was growing pot on the railing of our balcony, in full view (mostly) of the road. Nobody ever said anything, and he sat outside and smoked a spliff every day without fail. Pot ain't a big thing in Niedersachsen, apparently.
