Germany

[PantherBrew]

Thanks for all the advice, folks.

I really hope my illegal streaming sites don't fail me during my trip.

If I can't watch my Panthers, I might die. I haven't missed a game since the 90's.

one last thing... its probably pretty important.

don't exchange dollars for euro at the airport. or a bank.

do it at mcdonald's.

Why is this?

I don't know about Mcdonalds, but if your brother is there for a few months, he probably knows the best places to get currency exchanged.

My brother's company sent him to Germany for 2 months to work, all expenses paid.

He wants me to come visit for about 10 days, and told me the only thing I am responsible for is my plane ticket (roughly $800), and he would pay for everything else, food, travel, etc.

I am currently a student, but I will start working for good in January. I have never been out of the country, and this might be my only viable opportunity for a long time.

I am leaning towards going, but I am not certain. I am going to have to make a decision by today. Because I am going to have to get a passport with expedited to get here in 2-3 weeks because I would be leaving on Dec. 2?

Thoughts? Advice? Do I need anything other than a passport, like visas?

You might want to stock up on some female razors and shave cream. German women are know for not shaving their pits and sometimes even their legs. (At least the ones I have known.)

I don't know how you feel about pit hair, I'm like eh, whatever.

But I draw the line at hairy legged women! (Unless it's fine blonde hair, then you don't notice it.) Which Germany has a fair amount of blondes. (The master race and all!)

Also I noticed that a lot of the college aged women, don't bother with bras.

And they don't mind casual kissing, (even in front of their boyfriends) so always carry breath mints.
