Dusseldorf city pays for extra police on the beat, making the place feel even safer than most German cities (and they are generally pretty safe). There are a few beggars down Konigs Allee, and a few drunks and other riffraff around the city, but it is barely noticeable. I also noticed that there were an obvious community of drunks that seemed to ride the trams all day, possibly to keep out of the cold. They seemed more worried about me, than the other way around, and proved harmless apart from making a few passengers uncomfortable with loud and inappropriate introductions. In the station, and especially outside, there were a few groups loitering about suspiciously, and I didn't feel 100% safe, but nobody did anything and I have no real reason to think that they would.

It seems that the Altstadt restaurants and bars have a tradition of "rough" service from the waiters. I don't know if that is meant to translate as rude, but both times I was ordering in the Altstadt the service ranged from gruff to rude. I would suggest that as this is some kind of tradition, that you don't take it too personally, as the waiter may think that you are expecting to be treated in this manner. Leave a Comment

If you are a fan of Frank Gehry, then I respect your right to have your own opinion. However, this is my page -- so I am going to tell it like I see it. In my opinion, Gehry's deconstructivist style is the antithesis of the beauty, symmetry, and functionality that is inherent in the great architectural masterpieces of Western Civilization. Furthermore, I just don't find his designs aesthetically pleasing.
Usually, when I read or hear something about Frank Gehry, there is a reference to him being an American architect. While he may live in Los Angeles, the Wikipedia entry included with this tip shows that Gehry was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada -- and he is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States. Therefore, America is not completely to blame for his ugly building designs that are popping up all over the world.

 Can I vomit now please ?.. by sourbugger
It would have been nice to hear some german carols or at least a bit of Beethoven. But what do we get ? Bloody Cliff Richard singing "Misseltoe and wine", Boney M singing "Mary's boy Child" and everybody singing that irritating "Do they know it's Christmas time ?". Lord help us Leave a Comment

I was going to write a tip about how this stuff is usually made from German wines that would disgrace a car battery or bottle of anti-freeze and only made paletable by the addition of huge amounts of sugar and cinnamon. I must admit however, that the stuff was actually rather good.
Despite this endorsement, do be aware that the actual percentage of alcohol can vary greatly between the various brews on sale. Some reckon the time of day makes a difference as well. My better half had a mug-full and looked quite trollied. I know she must have been a bit tipsy afterwards because she walked straight past a shop selling handbags and a 'sale' sign in the window without noticing. Leave a Comment
