The best about Spaghetti ice is: because the strings could melt really fast, they put a layer of whipped cream underneath. And because the ice cream is very cold, it freezes the whipped cream. Frozen whipped cream... best thing ever. 🤤😊

The Elevator inside the Aquarium was called "AquaDom" and had a volume of about 1 million Liters. The outer shell bursted in dec 2022, flooded the building and the street in front of it.

The futuristic suspension train is like 120 years old 😂😂

20:00 Unlike in the USA, Graves in Germany are not just a Headstone and Grass around it, but feature a Mini-Garden in front/around the Headstone. You may plant Flowers or other things on it, and the watering cans are needed to maintain it.

The Pong thing is not common. I am German and have travelled to many German cities in all states and have never seen that.

the usual gymnasts wear is basically a bathing suit, legs are completely naked. German graves have a human size rectangle area in front of the headstone where people grow flowers etc. probably to prevent people from walking over the buried dead bodies

most of what you see is not everywhere in germany (cat shaped kindergardens, playing pong at traffic lights) its more of a special thing so just dont estimate its so cool everywhere ;)

Otto (a comedian well known to Germans) also has his own pedestrian lights in Emden, where he is from. Lights like this pop up here and there, I am pretty sure that more of them will arrive.

The watering cans are in a cemetary, brought in by people who attend the graves of relatives there. Often people plant flowers ect on graves here. To avoid having to walk carrying the can every time, they leave it there. And to stop it from being stolen they lock it to this rail with a bicycle lock. Yes, this aquarium had a lift inside, not the other way around. It was in the lobby of a big hotel in Berlin. Unfortunatly the aquarium burst last year and thousands of tons of water devastated the entire hall. It could have easily killed a lot of people, but luckily it burst at 4 am or so, when nobody was in the room. But thousands of exotic fish died.

The Wuppertal suspension railway is an elevated railway in Wuppertal that opened on March 1, 1901. It remains the backbone of the city's local public transport to this day. Initially with less modern trains but on the same structure

The cherry blossom in Bonn is realy beautiful to see and you are right, the first foto is the same street from below. Every year thousands of visitors come to Bonn to see it, even from Japan.

As a German I always enjoy people from different countries reacting to things in Germany. We German love to complain about our country, so it's nice to see, what is actually good about it. Especially since the really cool, easily implemented hings, like e.g. women's only parking, are so normal to me, that I don't notice them as special at all. What I also like, is that I could as easily make a video like that about things I found to be clever solutions that I experienced in other countries, like e.g. public water fountains in the US, demand driven traffic lights in the Netherlands or a big turntable in the middle of the dining table in China. Maybe there should be a regular world conference of idea sharing??? And of course a big public push to also implement the best solutions... One last comment about the watering cans on the cemetery. On quite a few cemeteries in Germany I've seen public water cans that can be borrowed by putting a coin in the lock, just like it is common with shopping carts in Germany. I think that system is even cooler, since not everyone has to bring there own watering can, and even people that just visit can water plants if need be.

The playing pong with the other side of the street at a crossing was an isolated and time limited art/engineering installation. The electic highway was/is just a trial running over a small stretch of an Autobahn section. I don't think anything ever came off of it so far. The shopping cart cleaning machine is more of a disinfectant machine that a few stores installed during Covid19. Spaghetti icecream is great!

Wuppertal railway is 122 years old. It began operating in 1901 Here's side by side view 1902 and 2015: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbqhpMeAyL6YlJc.html

On the Country Side the Village provides these Watering Cans and they are also not locked (people still have honor not to steal especially in such a place). The Water is free and before Cremation became big in Germany, almost everybody had traditional graves with a wooden coffin. These Graves have a stone or cement frame with the tombstone at the end and garden soil inside, where people plant flowers and small bushes. That's why these watering Cans are needed.

when you live in Cologne, you see the Dome (the big cathedral) from nearly everywhere in the City- except when you are next to it. Many people don't even look up any more. The place in front of it is calles "Domplatte" and damn windy at almost all times. If you go around the side, you will find a piece of old roman road that has been there even longer than the cathedral, layed bare right where it was build when the city was called Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensis

I believe that 'free/open lane for emergency vehicles' is a rule even in other EU countries - at least here in Czech Rep. it is. Locals call it 'záchranářská ulička' - translated like 'Rescue alley'

vienna has pairs of persons in the pedestrian traffic lights. they are either male + female, female + female or male + male. and the walking symbol has a heart too.

About the graveyard watecan rack: In germany graves are predominatly styled like small gardens (a bit larger then the coffins footprint) and relatives maintain them. So they need that can to water them. (usually water is provided by the graveyard for free). That rack there allows them to lock their can so they can store it on site.

Sadly the Black House was demolished some time ago for another modern bulding (the black house was kinda a art project by some people) The spaghetti ice is some special in germany, it was "invented" some decades ago by someone who put vanilla ice cream through a pasta maker, added strawberry sauce for the "tomato sauce" and them some vanilla crisp for the "chess". You can buy it in some super markets too as little portions. The ping pong on the traffic lights are only on a handful of some. Before i forget it, we dont make jokes and are bad at humor, so pls go back to work ;)

The hangbridge has been the highest in Europe for years. I've been there once in an attempt to overcome my fear of heights (failed miserably). It's just over 100 meters high and about 600 meters long. It's seriously terrifying but gorgeous scenery

AquaDom - it was a tourist attraction in Berlin. The aquarium was put into operation in December 2003. The cost of its construction is estimated by German media at EUR 12.8 million. It was 16 meters high and 11.5 meters in diameter. It was the largest free-standing cylindrical saltwater aquarium in the world. Visitors could admire 1,500 fish of nearly 100 different species swimming in the aquarium from a special elevator (for 19 euros). Unfortunately, this aquarium was destroyed due to material fatigue in December 2022. The aquarium was made of acrylic glass. One million liters of water spilled out, and with it 1,500 fish. The explosion was so powerful that it was recorded by Berlin seismographs.

Ivy is an evergreen plant. That building at the Botanische Garten was ranked over by a species of wild wine vine that is endemic to southern Germany. It's an entirely different species that drops its leaves in autumn. We had it at my parent's house. In summer, the entire wall it ranked on was buzzing with bees, In autumn, the colours the leaves went through before dropping were wild! The very dense cover with leaves on the southern walls made summers much more pleasant inside. The traffic lights with the pong game probably is a one of its kind, I have seen nothing like it anywhere here. The aquarium you saw at 12:55 collapsed a few years ago.

The thing with the traffic lights is here in Aachen really common fr every light is something else

About the electric trucks: they aren't connected with the wire above the Autobahn, the frame just touches the wire so that there is a connection for the electrical current to flow. The frames are also retractable so when the trucks leave the highway, they run on storage battery (or in some cases petrol).

Dude, as a half german living in Germany, I have to say first of I really like your pronunciation especially the „Neustadt kunsthofpassage“ (which you almost said correctly btw) the „eu“ is pronounced like „oi“ and „Stadt“ is pronounced „shtat“ (I hope this makes sense). And second of, some of the things like the hologram circus and the tampon book I didn’t even know existed but I really like the fact that they are trying to find ways around the 19% vat because that’s just bs in my opinion because basic foods, books, magazines and even going to the movies has a 7% vat but female hygiene products dont

The manhole, works like when you open it, you got a fence around the opening 😊

The "McBoat" is the only one of its kind in the world so far. Built by the local branch during COVID restrictions when drive through and take out was booming. People order at the small dock you see in the picture and then someone from the McDonalds up the stairs comes down and delivers your order.

Ian, you really have to take a closer look at the Tropical Island Resort and the building it's in. There was a very prestigious project called the "Cargolifter" where they wanted to build superlarge airships to transport cargo containers. The company went bankrupt just after this hanger and a small scale prototype were built. Since the building existed they sold it and it was repurposed for this indoor tropical resort with beaches, pools, waves, bars, waterfalls,... The scale of this ex-hangar is crazy! You can rent a bungalow for your stay...

I love the cat in the beginning in the background 😊 🐈

I live in the Neustadt (a part of Dresden which translated means "new-city") and that arrangement of tubes makes no sound at all when it rains. You can even find at least one video debunking that. (BTW: "Kunsthofpassage" means "art-backyard-passage" and there is more art than just that to see there...)

the black house was a project by an artist from Pfortzheim, but it was banned because the house is a listed building and had to be restored to its original state some things in the video are not the rule but rather the exception, such as the pong game at the traffic lights or the car wash for shopping trolleys there was a small mistake in the lift story the lift is/was in the aquarium which unfortunately broke overnight one day there are also lots of cherry blossoms in the neighbourhood where I live and it looks fantastic when they start to bloom

The Aquarium Elevator doesn't exist anymore. Bursted one morning last year .

The slides in the TU Munich are actually parabolic tubes, starting at a 45° angle, it's the building for the math and IT faculty... You slide using a sliding rug, and you absolutely need it to not shred your clothes or burn your backside. It's somewhat intimidating the first time, and it makes an eerie sound... absolutely go for it if you can!

so the pong game at traffic lights was was a social experiment of the university hildesheim in lower saxony and was put up for several month. but it got deinstalled afterwards

The Circus with this Hologramshow is the very old "Circus Roncalli". The Lego Bridge in Wuppertal is part of an repurposed old railway. They got rid of the rails and now you can ride your bike or go walking joggin skating etc. on the "Nordbahntrasse" for about 22km. Along the way are some nice little attractions like the "Parcour Park", little restaurants, the "Wuppertaler Zoo" and so on. And all through a beautiful scenerie. They have another one called "Sambatrasse". From the Nordbahntrasse you can change to the "Korkenziehertrasse" through the neighbortown Solingen. Those biking / hiking Trassen are part of the "Bergischer Panorama-Radweg" which is approx 130 km long through the "Bergisches Land" in North Rhine Westfalia

The "women only parking" (near the wherlchair parking) spots are typically in Shopping Centers underground and are near an entrance/doors/lift to the Center itself. So the "dangerous" way is short.

19:05 Actually we have these kits for almost everything in the supermarket 😂 Often you also find one for a soup base

11:00 it's also one way only. So you safe even more space since the driving lane between the parking spaces only needs to be wide enough for 1 car.

I actually was at the two slides one time. They are formed like parabolas because they are located at the Maths center of the Technical University in Munich (TUM).

the elevator with the aquarium inside... the aquarium bursted a while back, flooding the shopping mall. thankfully this happened during the night when noone could be injured. playing pong on pedestrian traffic lights must be a one-town-thing. i have never seen or even heard of those and i am a german who never left the country. the swing for wheelchairs is rare. only ever seen one of those myself.

The electrical motorway are test routes on a normal highway motorway, the trucks have 2 engines of the first a diesel engine, the second is the electric motor with additional batteries. If the truck leaves the route, it drives with diesel. The future should reach the following: to drive on long routes with electricity to save fuel. However, the system has been in many cities for almost a hundred years, it was the overhead line buses, the flexible in road traffic. The counterpart was the tram, but needed a railroad. In our area there is such a test track.

10:20 - if I recall correctly that is actually a car distribution yard - over the last few years seen it described as in Japan, in Germany, and in the UK - I'm inclined to go the latter as they do look like various Mini models and that's where the main production plant for Minis is

5:00 I had this video running in the background and was genuenly surprised how well you pronounced that. To be honest first I understood "Nussstadt Kunststoffpassage" (en.: Nut-town Plasticpassage) but the second try, very good.

12:42 By the way, this aquarium exploded. The Deutsche Bahn is also very interesting: you never know when and if it will run.

Recognise most although I’m from the Netherlands, the watering cans are for watering the plants/ flowers around your loved ones grave

In Germany we have a lot of lokalised walking signals in pedestartian lights. They are regional, like using different ones in east or mining themed ones in old mining areas, lokal ones that reference local legends or industries or even temporary ones that reference current occurences.

2:55 This has actually another effect of blocking the sun in the sommer time making it cooler to walk and stay outside.

We have already 2 Lego bridges in Wuppertal. Same city with the Schwebebahn / Suspencion Railway :D

I live in Friedberg, those are not the traffic lights we have here. We do have some Elvis motiv, but different. And they were only put in like maybe 10 years ago, i chuckled heartily at your "they're still functional". They have not been in place since he served at the Ray Barracks.

19:31 the "graveyard rack" is like a bike rack for watering cans, installed on graveyards. Not every graveyard has them, but I've seen them before. It's so you don't have to bring your watering can every time you go to water the plants on the graves. And everyone labels their with their name so you don't get confused which one belongs to you, because as you've seen, the green is very prevalent.

As a German, I can tell that you did really well with the pronunciation of the German words. Side note: The Aquarium bust around two years ago

Hi Ian, love your interest on photos from Germany and love your cat too - greetings from mine

The largest water park in Europe with thousands of natural palm trees is in Poland and is called Park of Poland - Suntago Water World

@IWrocker The aquarium shown @12:49 did explode by the end of 2022, flooding the hotel it was built into.

4:20 There are a few bridges of similar construction to be found in different German landscape parks designed in the 18th or 19th century. Often they are called a "devil's bridge" (including some local legend explaining the name); the official name of this bridge in Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Park is "Rakotz bridge". Similiar half-cycle constructions from medieval times can be found in different regions in southern Europe (southern France, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria), and they have often names meaning "devil's bridge". 5:15 "Kunsthof" means "Art courtyard". The Kunsthof-Passage in the Äußere Neustadt ("outer new town", built mostly during the 19th century) district of Dresden consists of 5 courtyards, each with a different theme. 9:53 The blimp hangar is actually not so old. It was constructed in 2000 as part of the Cargolifter project (the Cargolifter CL 160 was planned as a cargo airship able to lift and transport up to 160 tons, e.g. hydropower turbines for big hydroelectric plants in remote areas or complete bodywork presses for the automotive industry, but the project failed due management problems and went into insolvency in 2002). Video about the waterpark: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLeifbxiuLGtkY0.html 11:30 in Frankfurt/Main: The tower in the foreground was part of the medieval walls, the glass tower in the background is the Nextower (constructed in 2011) and the Jumeirah Hotel (constructed in 2009). 12:53 That aquarium did burst in the night of 16 December 2022, killing nearly all of the 1,500 fish inside and flooding the hotel lobby surrounding it.

8:50 The german letter ß is actually pronouced as an s. So it's pronounces Giesen

The Tropical Island (near Berlin) wasn't build in an actually "old" blimp building but a already built shipyard hall for a cargo lifter blimp. However, this project idea couldn't brought to life and, therefore, this hall was abandoned and the Tropical Island had a place a couple of years later. The elevator in the aquarium was in a hotel in Berlin. However, the aquarium was destroyed a couple of years ago by accident. Emergency ambulance cars cost 10 € in Germany: actually, this picture must be a couple of decades old as in Germany a "Praxisgebühr" had to be paid once to the local physician or for each usage of an ER or an emergency ambulance car. However, as there is no "Praxisgebühr", emergency ambulnace cars are actually free of charge if it is a real emergency. If it is not an emergency, your universal health insurance could charge you with the costs. This would be around 800€. And if you have a private health insurance, you have to pay these costs in the first place anyway. If it was not an emergency ambulance car but "just" an ambulance car, the fee is about 400 € if you have to pay it on your own.

Awww...i live 2mins away from the cherry blossom road(s 2). It is so beautiful except in the day time because its packed with tourists/people. But at night and when the petals fall its amazing. When the petals fall the street looks like its pink and fluffy. Its incredible

I love the outdoor store with the Pool. 😅 Sometimes I stay on the floors above, just looking down, cause the water ist so calm. 🙈🙃

my local irish pub in germany has a puke sink. I have seen it in use several times.

8:59 Giessen not Gieben, the more you know

The “moved house” was an art installation in Karlsruhe. It was the "Stadtgeburtstag". Means “city birthday”. Karlsruhe was 250 years old. The aquarium in Berlin collapsed last year and flooded the entire building.

The "Electric Highway" was a test run on a part of a Autobahn. But no Truck uses it because its too expensive to build the top needed to connect to it.

there was a Aqarium with a Lift in it it blow up few years back

The roulette wheel advertising my home bad homburg. The casino 😂

I am from Germany and I didn't know like 40 out of 50. I am really positively shook by the tampon idea 😂

The shopping car cleaning machines appeared during the pandemic when some people were afraid of germs and would spray everything around them. So in some supermarkets they offered these machines which were outside the store.

bots incoming!

Honestly i didn't see anything that's better or eualy good than in Austria and also couldn't think of anything, as someone who often travels through Germany, into the next highly developed country, the Netherlands ;)

The "house being moved" (18:50) was actually an art installation during construction of the Kombilösung here in Karlsruhe. It wasn't a real-real house.

@18:45 That was not a real house move but a promotion stunt when they built the underground in my home town Karlsruhe

Brooo! That blooming Cherry Blossom pic pretty much looks like it was taken in my old hood in Bonn. Impressive indeed 🎉

The standing surf wave at 18:08 is in a big sport store called L+T in my hometown Osnabrück in Lower Saxony. It's called "Hasewelle" what's a pun of the word 'Welle' (wave) and 'Hase' (the animal hare, but here the name of a river next to the building. Osnabrück itself is also often called the 'Hasestadt', what means town at the (river) Hase 😊). You can book tickets or even courses to really surf there among the customers since 2018.🎉

19:30 watering can explanation. Never thought about it (like most things you see on a weekly basis probably), but simple: Rather than bringing the watering can each week (or month) you visit, it's just there. Might be a walk to the gy. or you coming from somewhere else, better than carrying the watering can with you the whole day. Mind you: Coming by bike, bus+ or just for a walk is pretty popular in Ger. Having your own can makes sure they are available(?) and having the locks makes sure they aren't taken away from this public place. (no surveillance for graveyards) I was never aware they had locks though - this differs from region to region. It might be this is in a big city. Certainly a few "free" cans there would be gone soon, and then you would stand there without a way to water your beloved one's flowers. In general hard to imagine otherwise, so: In the video it would be interesting, how do you handle watering cans on your country's graveyards?

The electic highway is short and basicly a research-project being done IRL. Btw the japanese cherry street in Bonn is truely amazing. It is so narrow that as an american you would call it a path, a street is something different for you ;) Thanks for the amazing video, its cool to see an outside view on home :)

[11:08] There are several of those in the city of Wiesbaden (which you pronounced perfectly by the way). I like that they picked this one, since I live just one minute away from it. There are some things in the video which aren't common in germany, like playing a game at the traffic light whilst waiting for the green light or hologram elefants in the circus. Last things is because many people are concerned about species-appropriate animal housing. Others are more common: I've seen those wheel chair swings occasionaly, reserved parking for disabled is a law) and parking for woman only (usually close to the entry/exit) and families are very common. I've never seen these pods for homeless people, but beside offcial shelters provided by the municipality a lot of people care about the homeless. They give out food, free health care (doctors after their regular work) and even christmas dinners. In Wiesbaden they errected a number of tiny houses too, which offer more independence than the official shelter. If you like the cherry flower that much, you should go to Washington or New York (e.g. Brooklyn Botanic Garden) end of march. It's beautiful.

The giant slide at the TUM university in Munich exists to enable people on the upper floors to evacuate more quickly in an emergency. I’ve seen such slides from the second floor of kindergartens too. Greetings from one of the over 6,000 Americans living in Munich🤗

The electric trucks in the video have actually been only a testbed for options to electrify truck traffic. Idea was like covering the distance with overhead lines and having small batteries or small combustion engine to get on and off the road. Not aure if it is still in operation. It was an experiment to look into feasibility, infrastructure cost etc. Idea was to connect major logistics hubs on main highway (autobahn) connections like this in the future if feasible, as long as battery powered trucks don't cut the mustard on long distances. They would come in in distribution from those hubs.

5:32 I don't speak German but I know a few words (like Banhof, Kunst, etc.), so, cutting and pasting here and there, I would say that translates to something like "Newtown Art Place Passage" (Passage meaning an alley or smaller street connecting two more important streets, I would guess.) It seems the rain water is collected by those funnels, making music while it flows down through the pipes.

14:51 The idea is for the trucks to have batteries, but since the energy density of the batteries is so low, they came out with this trick: the truck runs mostly on the overhead wires on the highway, charging as it goes and would only need to run on batteries for the last leg of the trip: which in most cases shouldn't be longer than 40 - 50km. You thus reduce the weight of the vehicle, increase the carry capacity and remove the need for lengthy charging stops. It's a clever concept but it hasn't really kicked off except in a few test runs. In other parts of the world people have experimented with ground-based charging systems, such as an eclectic rail or wireless charging embedded in the road. These would also offer charging capacity to eclectic cars.

The graveyard rack is something I have seen here in the south of the Netherlands as well, basically, if you have lost a loved one, you often visit the cemetary and take care of their gravestones by cleaning the stones/surroundings, as they are often a bit filthy from the trees, some dirt etc. So graveyards have these stations with watering cans and cleaning supplies to make life a bit easier for visitors of graveyards. (at least our graveyard provides the materials), some also just have these stations to lock your own can to the pole.

Hi. The watercan at the graveyard thing is just to give graveflowers water. People let the cans there, that they don't have to carry them the next time. But i did not know that they lock them. In the really small village where i grew up, it was normal that some people let a can there and everybody can use it.

Traffic light pong - never seen that in my whole life. And the aquarium with the elevator inside actually just burst last year!

1:17 this is called "Rettungsgasse" ("saving lane"). Some cars even have stickers on the trunk saying "if traffic jam -> make saving lane" (in German "Bei Stau Rettungsgasse bilden!"), just for reminding people.

The electric highway works the same way as the train system here. Those things connecting the trucks with the wires can be folded down (they just touch the wires they arent really connected to it. So the truck just extends it when entering this highway and folds it down again when exiting. But thats just a testing range, so with beurocracy it'll take quite some time to be really used

THe Lego Bridge is in Wuppertal. There are actually several of it. The Outdoor Store with the pool is the Globetrotter Store in Cologne.

THe elctric Track for the Trucks is one of some testracks where they are testing elektrik trucks, that can just dock on it liek trains and besides that have normal elektromotors etc. to find out if its a concept for the future for more range and mobility with elektrick trucks.

06:40 The Wuppertal suspension railway is an elevated railway in Wuppertal that opened in 1901 and is the city's landmark. It has been a listed building since May 26, 1997. Pictures: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuppertaler_Schwebebahn

16:48 this seems to be the Geierlay suspended rope Bridge near Hunsrück in Germany. It was only opened in 2015 so relatively new! As it is a tourist attraction, the website for the bridge also hosts a live webcam with a view over the valley and the bridge itself. They also track how many visitors the bridge has and the data is public on their website as well!

The lego painted bridge is so cool! The coolest thing from the nearest bridge near me is just that you can still see the corner that was half-fixed with bricks where a US tank tried to get through but knocked some of the stonework out in one of the world wars xD

The principle of overhead line trucks works like this: Sensors on the roof of the truck detect that there is a corresponding line above. A receiver automatically drives out, similar to that of a tram, and docks onto the line. The hybrid vehicle then runs on electricity from the overhead line, while the battery is charged at the same time. If the line ends or the truck starts to overtake, the receiver drives back in. The vehicle runs again on electricity from the battery or conventionally on diesel. With the new technology, the federal government wants to reduce CO2 emissions from heavy goods traffic and make a contribution to achieving climate targets.

The Bridge in Kromlau is just for Decoration, not to walk over it. The overgrown House is not overgrown with Ivy. Ivy is alltime green. The Plant on the House called "Parthenocissus quinquefolia" ("Wild Wine" in Germany) it turns red in September /October and loose the Leafs in Winter. Ivy (Hedera helix ) stays green. The Elevater Aqaurium ist broken at 16. 12. 22.

the watering cans are to water the graves at the cemetery - as some of the graves have elaborate flowers planted that need to be watered when it's dry so family members take care of the graves and don't have to take along the watering can from home but instead leave it at the cemetery sometimes with or without a lock.

The theme of Stoplights for certain cities is actually a thing. There are certain cities with unique Figures, which are then used, at some points in that city, as a crosswalk signal

The graveyard thing with the water cand is for the flower pot upon the graves of the beloved ones. The residents take a water can, watering the flowers on the graves and put the can back to the rack for other residents ^^

I live just 20 minutes away from Bad Vilbel and found out about the library bridge from your video. In Friedberg, where I live, are even more Elvis traffic lights there. On Elvis looks like he's peeing, but it's just his microphone. :D The emergency lane is a great thing, but unfortunately it rarely works like in the picture.

That aquarium with the elevator inside broke spectacularly a few years ago, flooding the hotel's lower level and part of the neighboring shaps, and wasn't rebuild

20:00 - The watering cans on the rack are for watering the graves. There are also urn graves or simple graves in Germany, but a big percentage of graves in Germany are planted with flowers. The german thing here, is that they have a special place/order for the cans + not wanting to share. / But often there are also cans you can lend on the graveyards in Germany. Most of the things you had shown are not regular things in Germany. Okay, the beer promotion, the traffic light figures, the "Notgasse" (to make space for ambulance on the highway) and the parking spaces for women/special needed persons are regular. And yes, no day without a siide! xD It is funny, but what is really a german thing is "Döner Kebap".

The wheelchair user swing is a cool addition to a playground but in my town there is a whirl spinner (I think that’s what they’re called) and there are normal ones but there is this one playground that has one made specifically with wheelchair users in mind where have to lift up the safety bars so you can go/wheel in and it doesn’t spin unless the safety bar is down
