Germany: apart from mostly fucked up stuff like

  • corrupt, stupid, "conservative", "liberal" politicians
  • Bikes everywhere but no pathways of normal quality
  • very bad internet (we have Cable here, and there is not a single OpenWRT cable router because nobody uses that sh*t)
  • speaking english is not usual, I guess
  • people think alcohol and cigarettes are okay
  • there are nearly no therapy places anywhere, while everyone is forced to pay for healthcare they cannot use

We have some fun things:

  • mustard ~~and tap water~~ have to be free in Restaurants
  • if you block cookie banners, they are not allowed to save them
  • every food has to have the entire recipe on the back. The contrast to stuff like cleaning detergent is huge, when you try reading the ingredients and its like "magic formula of hydrocarbons"
  • Europe is literally the best that happened to us, all the rest sucks

tap water have to be free in Restaurants

Factually not true. Restaurants have no obligation to provide tap water at all. Free or not

Even the EU guideline, which went into effect this year, is just that: a guideline, a suggestion.

There are so many natural springs in the Swedish inland, that you don't really need to worry about bringing drinking water when hiking.

It is recommended to bring a water filter with you, but most of the water is clean and safe to drink.
