I'm heading to Germany for a couple of weeks in September.
I have been told a few things by some friends, and I am not sure if I believe them:
-Apparently they don't like credit cards there. That doesn't make much sense to me, in the year 2018. I try to use my credit card as often as possible when I travel, it minimizes the amount of cash I need to carry.
-Tipping... apparently it is rude to leave the tip on the table?

Also, I will be renting a bicycle at least one day.
It seems like they have a pretty comprehensive public bike rental system.
Would I have trouble getting a bike?
Just trying to decide if I need to bother pre-booking with a rental place, or just rely on the ad hoc street-side rental system.

Any advice?
 
Sorry, I mean in general.

You might want to check travel boards for general advice. However, I definitely hope to hear about your trip. I am thinking of going to Berlin. I have been to the FKK clubs near Frankfurt and they were great.

PS. I tipped in the restaurants in Frankfurt if that helps you.

Yes, I went to Frankfurt and did the FKK's 10 years ago. I don't remember anything weird about Germany, apart from their obsession with not crossing the street against the red light - even if no cars are coming.

I was there in 1987 and they seemed to like credit cards.on board with the concept, as it were... As far as renting your bike in Germany.MAKE SURE YOUR PAPERS ARE IN ORDER!!
 
I will be in Berlin on a stopover to Yugoslavia, been to Berlin before, hang around Alexanderplatz to start.
Anyone recommend other areas in Berlin besides Alexanderplatz for chix? both day and night.
Germans are the best looking white chix in western europe ive seen. Berlin is young and vibrant around Alexanderplatz.

I thought Yugoslavia was no longer a country? I'm part Yugoslavian and have always been under the notion that I'm descendent from a place that no longer exists:) I would love to go to that area sometime...I bet they have some smoking hot ladies walking around!!

You should go. Berlin is a good hub Schoenfeld to connect wizz app on the cheap to EE. Skopje hub start in max. bus train country to country ee. Costin 300 bucks one way to fly over the atlantic to yugo.
 
I suspect Parker doesn't read Yugo. Please translate what you wrote into Canuck for her and us.
 
Tipping isnt really a thing outside of Canada and the US because most other countries pay food workers the same wage as other minimum wage workers.

I love the video - I have always detested tipping only do in restaurants since feel obligated to. Never tipped a dancer, Massage gal or escort. Its degrading in my view for a professional to get tipped like a below minimum wage resturant worker. Fortunately its not common practice in Europe and much of the world.
 
If you're going to Berlin, you have to go to Club Artemis. That place is amazing & the talent is top notch!

As to the credit card thing, I used mine everywhere with no problem, including Artemis.
