A few things I learned in Leipzig

1. Reliable & safe public transportation is priceless. I would totally trade in my car if we had a transportation system like Europe.

2. Ask for your check when you are ready to leave a restaurant. A server here in Germany will never bring you your check unless you ask. They consider it rude to bring the check beforehand because it would be like asking you to leave before you are ready.

3. Germans can DRINK. A LOT.

4. Its never to early for a beer in Germany. 9am? No problem! Beer is cheaper than bottled water or soft drinks and is served {and drank} at any time of the day.

Small little bars like this are all over Leipzig

5. Soccer is cool. And a big deal to pretty much every country but the US.

6. People go nuts over the World Cup...even if you're country's team isn't playing that particular day...its still a reason to celebrate.
