The lack of pictures has multiple reasons. For one, you save money by not having to print images of every dish. Also it goes back to a time when many poor people couldn't read, so the restaurants for poor people would have pictures, while the ones for the upper classes would have descriptions. So not having pictures became a symbol of higher class.

Every other place only has red and green (except for only a few railway crossings in rare exceptions) because that is the norm of the StVO (german traffic law). Düsseldorf is allowed to keep them however because they are rather popular among some locals and politicians and also because we already had pedestrian lights with yellow since 1953 which was 20 years BEFORE the red-green standard was adopted into StVO. Outside of Germany you can also find such lights in some swiss and italian cities btw.

In the summer months I'd go to the Mosel Valley and pick grapes with other people my age group most of whome were from around the world. In October we had the beer fest which is now world famous, November we would be skiing in Bavaria then back to Menden for Christmas and New year. This was just some of the highlights of my first 11 of my 15 years in the army the remaining years I spent in the Outer Hebrides, which in my eyes is a jewel in the British Isles not many people know about.

Our local community took the donation and built them. It was easy to show the spike in donations by that corporation. But we didn't let walmart take over our downtown. :) Allowing regular, non-corporate chain local businesses room to breathe without the state chartered giant plopping down all around them. We were able to maintain something non-cookie cutter. Some little libraries also unfortunately occasionally suffer vandalism or disrepair. But not all.

The Japanese culture however might be more strict in some other aspects and also sometimes more weird in others ^^ When it comes to rules both countrys have the comunity in mind while a country like the United States of America is based on the individual for example. Overall Japan shares culturel influences as well like classic music and they have also a similar drinking culture. In short you could say they share a similar spirit while stil having their own will to live accordingly to that spirit. The biggest differences might be arround stuff like work life balance and the importance of honor in the society as a whole yet all of this has its pros and cons and If I have to name something that is troubling me thinking of Japan than it is the extremes they provide in the spectrum with people that might be excluded of the shared comunity as a whole or even celebrated to much in the opposite direction. Both countrys share a lot but also could learn a lot from each other if they would cooperate more closely for the benefit of all. So saying Japan and Germany are the same is basically as saying that France and Germany is the same yet they have so much differences as well that it is more than just a little bit of cultural influence.

If a restaurant puts pictures of their food in the menu they would need to get it always looking like it. Like with the same amount of potatoes or with this specific vegetable. I worked in an ice bar for a time. It was recuired that the ice looks always like in the fotos. But with only descriptions you could vary easier based on what you have available (with the amount). ---- Even in Germany you won't find vegetarian restaurants everywhere. In the country side or at least where I live I think there is only 1 pure vegetarian restaurant. But you can find restaurant with none or up to 5 vegetarian dishes ... vegan is another topic in bavaria. 😅 And in Brandenburg/Saxony some food may be named the same but be something completly different.

My sister lived in Germany while I lived in Spain and we enjoyed visiting back and forth. I enjoyed the coffee shops and hazelnut pastries which are much less sweet which I liked. The beer gardens and halls were fun to visit. I also liked how the different shops in Bavaria have carved signs hanging out front that represent what they are selling. For example, a carved and gilded pretzel sign for a bakery.

11:18 My favorite anime is Neon Genesis Evangelion. About the pictures on the menus: I think that actually started in Japan because in the Meji Period foreign types of food most people had no idea about poured in so fast with the new restaurants popping up that people needed to see example to understand what was offered (and I guess later on restaurants serving traditional dishes just started doing it because it had become a new standard to do so). There was no such rapid modernization with an influx of food items most people had never seen before at all in Europe, so there was no such development.

The 3d masks are called FFP2. This is a particle filter measurement class. So they are more safe than the simple ones, at least if you wear them correctly. They must at least filter 94 % of the particles. FFP3 are more safe (not so common) they filter 99% of the test aerosols.

Around 10% of the people in Germany are vegans or vegetarians (ofc there are more vegetarians than vegans). You probably won't find vegan restaurants in rural areas, but most bigger cities have them. Or at least restaurants with a large vegetarian/vegan selection :) Even more and more restaurants with traditionally German cuisine tend to offer more vegetarian/vegan meals. Though it's still rare in some areas.

@@Eagle_Owl2I remember in a restaurant when asked about vegan option the waiter just said loudly : I can cut some tomatoes together, is that fine? I laughed a bit. But yeah there are more and more places with vegan option. Although I might add they mislabel it many times, it has vegan (not vegetarian) label, yet has milk or cheese in it for example (not plant based, just normal dairy product).

@@alihorda I actually never had the problem with mislabelling, that's also a huge problem for people with allergies. That's my pro tip anyway, just pretend to have a protein allergy or to be lactose intolerant instead of saying you're vegan in rural areas. You will get better service, partly because restaurants become afraid of lawsuits as soon as allergies are brought up. These days, most restaurants will prepare you something nice, especially if you call them before (e.g. if your company has a christmas dinner there and you can't choose to go elsewhere, just call them in advance and ask them for a vegan option if they don't have one on their menu). The last time I was treated rudely for asking for a vegetarian (!) option was like 10 years ago in a Greek restaurant in Germany where they told me that I should just stick to the appetizers (which were also pretty expensive). That same restaurant updated its menu in the meantime and now even offers a regular vegan dish. I love this development. What still gets on my nerves is that in many cafeterias, you will find 3 options with meat and only one vegan option for all vegans, vegetarians and sometimes muslims when all meat dishes include pork. And as someone who hates cooked paprika/bell pepper (the only veggie I hate), I hate that it's almost always something with cooked paprika :D

For the wet towel question, mold grows so fast in Germany that if you leave a rag on a corner, it will easily have black patches after a week. So it's not ideal to stock one especially if you don't have the right facilities for it, like pharmacy stores do.

1 at 07:30 you wore your mask upside down. the little metal part or bendable plastic strip is there so you can shape around your nose and thus has to go over your nose 2 the protection level with those mask is higher than regular mask medical mask or even uncertified self-made masks... but only if the seam touches your face all around and it's able to filter the air you breathe. A medical mask helps not letting your germs fly freely into a room, the FFP2 mask does that AND helps filtering the air. You know the mask sits properly when there's a bit of resistance when you breathe.

I don't see any comments about the locks on the bridge, but I don't want to read 600 to find out! 😄 So, I will put it here, and I hope it's not a repeat of others. I just read a book about some children who went on a trip to Paris. They found out that lovers put a lock on the bridge to show their commitment to each other. Then it was making the bridge so heavy it wasn't safe anymore, so they had to remove the locks! Anyway, it's probably the same custom that you saw. I think that's an amazing coincidence that I just found out 2 days before watching your video! I love watching you travel and enjoying the different foods and sights.

The Locks on the Bridge in Cologne were to represent a relationship with someone. It was tradition to put a Lock on the Bridge with you and your partners name on it and throw the key into the river. The same can be seen in other places. It's just not allowed to do that anymore because the Bridge got heavier and heavier and I think the "key-pollution" also played a part in that I only know that it was forbidden in Cologne, so no idea about other cities.

Those locks in Cologne shows the relationships of those. As tradition the bond should be for ever. After they engraved and locked there lock on to the bridge, they throw the key into the Rhein. Who knows how many of those relationships are still present. Short fun fact. The city needed to get rid of a good amount of those locks, because the wight of all those brought the bridge to its maximum resilience. But after they took it of, it didnt take much time to fill it up again.

I was in cologne only once so far. Had to wait for my connecting train and walked around the Cathedral. At the Southern Entrance i was able to locate a small Spire, which has a slightly brighter colour than the surrounding parts. It got replaced after the original* one collapsed in an earthquake in 1992. The Cathedral itself is built on the Ruins of a Church, which collapsed in an Earthquake around 800 AD which was built on thefoundations of a roman Villa damaged in an even earlier quake.
