  • Then I don’t think you will have much problems.

    Germans are very direct and come over as rude very easily. So don’t worry if the seller in the bakery is rude to you, it has nothing to do with you.

    Germans like their private space, so try to not invade those. Look around you before you stop somewhere on the street and don’t stand in the way. Don’t play music from you mobile. Don’t put your feet on seats in public transport etc. Try to speak rather quietly, I guess it is not a thing in Hong Kong, but US Americans for example are viewed as loud here.

    If you don’t comply with these things, very likely nothing will happen, but you will get the evil German stare and they will breath significantly louder.

    So in summary, try to be a normal human being who cares for your surrounding and then you’ll be fine. Germany is a pretty liberal space, even in Bavaria if you are in big cities like Munich.

    Hope you have a lot of fun!









  • I have been to Croatia 2 years ago, drove to Zagreb via night train, rented a car and immediately drove to the coast. Keep in mind I really despise big cities and tourist stuff.

    I have been with my girlfriend and we visited two small villages along the coast that were not too touristy but had nice beaches. We really liked it.

    The highlight of our visit was the Plitvicd National park which was one of the most beautiful nature I have seen in my life (you need tickets). Also the roads to Plitvice have been very nice. We spontaneously did one other activity - there is an old Yugoslavian underground airbase close to the Bosnian border which is a huuuuge lost place. We booked a guide who went with us through the tunnels for 2 hours, I’ll never forget that experience!

    Then we went to Split for one night, just for going to one of the islands, in our case Hvar. We spend almost a week in Hvar and had a really good time although it was way to warm.

    Split was alright but pretty ugly, you have the typical tourist stuff, the residential area is not really worth it. It is pretty funny to watch the rich people in the port area though.

    Dubrovnik was a pure tourist hell. Yes historically interesting, but pure tourist hell. I would never come back again if it wasn’t another pandemic or so, but people like different things.

    That was a short summary of our trip, ask me anything if you like!
