Bzzzzzzzzz

by Arial_27

There was a huge abundance of honey bees all over the southern part of Germany when I visited last year. They kept together in large groups, usually around areas with a lot of flowers. The Germans love flowers.. to have in their gardens at home, or in the city, and outside the windows of their houses; which is probably what attracted so many bees.From my experience, the bees don't normally sting - and I was even swarmed by them while stitting in a rose garden. At least if you don't offend them they shouldn't sting you - but I would be careful around rose gardens!

Keep your valuables close!

by Phildagr8

I've never been a victim of pick-pocketing, but in crowded streets, anything is possible.Be sure to keep nothing in your back pockets, keep your cash in your front pockets, and keep your purses, cameras, shoulder strap stuff, etc, under one arm and around your head. I've heard of people who cut straps so you don't feel it being taken from you, so be aware of who's around you and how close they are.

I went to KFC Restaurant in Berlin (I prefer KFC than McDoc) & Q-up & when it came to my turn, I said in plain English that I wanted that & that.In front of me was this Asian girl, looking at me blankly ! I repeated again what I wanted. She looked annoyed because she couldn't understand a word of English !She asked somebody to help her. Came a guy, not Asian.I explained & he understood. While she was preparing my lunch (yes, it was during the day) I said to the guy why would they hire that stupid Asian girl who could speak German but no English ?The guy just smiled & said "we will sack her later !"I said "Thank You".When the girl came back, I said "STUPID !" to her face ! Guess what ? She smiled !

Places to avoid at night

by glueckspilz

in nearly every large city are districts which are more or less dangerous...you should mainly try to avoid walking through the red-light-districts etc alone at night. anyway, if you have to walk through one of these "possibly dangerous places", just keep in mind - it's not as dangerous as most people tell you. just keep your eyes open for suspicious persons and larger groups...if you see something, try to find another way through that place. really shouldn't be a problem to get through safe all alone if you keep your eyes open.i have to walk through the red-light-district of Frankfurt at night nearly every week, and nothing ever happened to me.
