Have a good trip Seed
It is still Karneval when you'll arrive in Germany,
so don't be surprised if you encounter a lot of
dressed up, silly Germans. Over there, the "5th season"
is taken very seriously.
Go to some Karneval parties and you won't regret
the experience. But be careful, next Thursday (always the Thursday before fat Tuesday), the women rule the
country, and they play many pranks on guys. Cutting
off your tie is the start of things.......
Enjoy Seed. I wish I could be there too.
