Welcome to Germany,

In Germany you have a lot of freedom as long as you don’t do any harm to anyone.

Please note that you have to pay high fines for leaving waste on the streets. Also, you shouldn’t cross the street if the traffic lights are red.

Sundays are resting days. The Germans insist on their day off on Sundays. It’s not allowed to listen to loud music or cut the lawn on Sundays.

You should eat a delicious Currywurst.

On German motorways you are allowed to drive as fast as you want unless you are in a traffic jam.

Please note that you must always be on time for meetings or work.

Visitors should not address strangers with “du” or “dich”. You have to say “Sie and Ihnen”, which is the more polite way.
