Sorry for the long wait folks. We’ve had a full house for several weeks now and I’ve been doing some serious business traveling. But here we are, back for another episode!
This time we are talking about eating out in Germany. Yes, there are fantastic restaurants to enjoy in Germany, and yes, there are a few things you should be aware of when visiting them. By the time you have listened to the podcast you should be able to answer the following questions with no problem what-so-ever:
- it is polite to keep your hands in your lap when dining in Germany. TRUE or FALSE
- you must wait to be seated at most German restaurants. TRUE or FALSE
- you can expect to get as many free refills of water and coffee as you want. TRUE or FALSE
- The “Stammtisch” is the perfect place to sit when no other tables are free. TRUE or FALSE
Music for this episode has kindly been provided by an awesome band out of Berlin, die Wallerts!
These guys play an eccentric mix of hopped-up Polka which thy call HUMPA. It’s great party music and if you are going to be in Berlin anytime soon, check their calender to see if you can catch a live show.Fun music and some outrageously silly text make die Wallerts a must-hear band in my book!
AND if you can guess the where the tune of the last song played by die Wallerts in this podcast comes from, I’ll send you some free German chocolate! (hint: it comes form a Monthy Python movie).
Keep on eye on this site for more changes coming soon…and for some useful tips to the German language!
Thoughts Aside:
A flight tracker can not only be used to track flights to canada, but find you favorable flights to rome as well. However if it is flights to thailand you are looking for, better try a flight simulator for a long flight.

Taural,
Just subscribed yesterday, currently catching up on back episodes. Great inside info on German culture from an American perspective. My wife and I are currently planning our first trip to Der Vaterland, and from listening to your podcasts you’ll be an immensely helpful resource. Thanks for taking the time to create these, and I’ll definitely looking fwd to future podcasts!
As for the humorous and entertaining “brustlied”..Its set to the tune of “Always look on the bright side of life” *whistles*.. MP’s “The Life of Brian”.
As a bonus, “Tomato Salad” is set to the tune “Popcorn” by the band Hot Butter.
Regards,
Jim, St. Louis
Jim Wins!
I’ll contact you per email to get your postage address so that I can send you the chocolate.
Good Job Jim!
Excuse me for leaving out the original composer of “popcorn”…the great german-born composer Gershon Kingsley.
