What I Learned About Northern Germany

What I Learned About Northern Germany

So, what was it like living in Germany for three months?
Well, if you're picturing me in lederhosen, devouring sauerkraut under a cuckoo clock, I’ve got news for you—that’s Bavaria. My experience in northern Germany was a world apart. From pickled herring to quirky playgrounds, soft-spoken accents, and oddly literal German words, it was three months of unexpected discoveries and cultural delights (plus a few oddities).

Here’s a little glimpse into life up north—where the fish is fresh, the streets are cyclist-friendly, and Sundays are blissfully quiet (and frustratingly closed). Spoiler: This might just be where all the giants live.
