What are some of your favorite and least favorite things about Germany?

Question

Some of my favorites are the beauty and the infrastructure. I really have very few complaints, but I wish that restaurants were smoke free. All too often my schnitzel began to taste like smoke.

Lived there in the 70's. Hated Osnabruck, the locals hated us. Loved the south, Bavaria was brilliant. Spent time in Weisbaden with the Americans. Loved the food and the local beers.

Answer 3

Favorites: Drinking laws, driving laws, labor laws & bier

Least Favorites: Grouchiness, stubbornness, taxes, taxes, and taxes

Answer 4

I like the landscapes, especially the Black Forest and the Saar-Pfalz area, the public transport, the roads (I'm living in Ireland), the food (except for Schnitzel and Eisbein), the way you can buy any food you fancy in one of the local supermarkets or department stores really anywhere.

I HATE their bureaucracy and their bureaucrats! They are only open during working hours and in general they are the most unhelpful, grumpy and arrogant people I've ever had the misfortune to come across. No wonder S&M never caught on there. If you enjoy being humiliated and degraded you just go to your nearest car registration or tax office. ;-)

Least favorite - the weather!

Answer 7

In most states restaurants are now smoke free ... and Schnitzel is not "the" German dish. Try for instance German pasta or "Flammkuchen" .... my favorite part of Germany is Hamburg  - I do not like Berlin.
