It's the bomb and you have to try some.

32. OMG, YES!

That, and a Doner Kebab... would smell pretty bad by the time you got it back here, though!

[Stockholm]

This years flavours are "five senses", perhaps less controversial than last years "seven sins".

[FreepFryer]

21. Heckler & Koch G3...

Along with an MG-42 in the original 7.92X57 mm. And bring back about three divisions of former East German wall guards to watch our southern border. Our own government can't get it right.

[Kellanved]

51. Those should be easy enough to find

Since the Bundestag switched to the G36 (AKA the "Toy Gun"), there have to be millions of G3s lying in half-forgotten depots all across western Germany.

[Zuni]

68. oooooh, an MG-42

The G-3 is a good choice too

[KittyWampus]

[tinfoilinfor2005]

29. lots of pictures and

Have a good time! Just returned from Paris and the weather had suddenly turned warm and spring was busting out all over...a huge change from a couple of weeks ago. So take at least one warm weather outfit. I only packed winter stuff and ended up having to buy some cooler clothing (yeah, how awful, having to shop in Paris, LOL)

[MountainLaurel]

30. A permanent resident visa?

For when the Talibornagains take over completely in the U.S.

[BiggJawn]

31. Job offer and immigration papers?

Probably almost as easy to get as the model for the St. Pauli Girl label...(second choice)

[LynzM]

33. I'd like that, too....

I work for a company that's got a branch in Munich, and Briarius works for one that's based in Germany... would be neat to live over there again!

[Ariana Celeste]

34. Would love to see some pictures of the area...

My husbands Oma keeps forgetting to send us pictures! :cry:

[CanuckAmok]

35. Poland.

Don't forget, either!

[Fridays Child]

36. Damn.I always see really cool pottery from German sellers on eBay...

...but I never bid on it because the shipping is too expensive. If I had a piece of German pottery on my watch list, I could have sniped it and had it sent to you in Germany.

[ChoralScholar]

37. Is Absinthe legal in Germany?

'cause that would be cool...

[Misunderestimator]

Male persuasion.

[Misunderestimator]

40. Oh, I had a cutie German about 5'10" years ago...

He looked a little like Leonardo Dicaprio, very androgynous (which explains why I liked him)... He's probably married with kids now... I'm sure.

We were once mistaken as a gay couple in the village,, some rubes called us "fags" as they walked by, imagine that... they thought he was gay and I was a guy. :rofl:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

failing that, another leader for the world bank.

46. A lace tablecloth, tatted by blind Belgian nuns....

If you really love me.....

[CBHagman]

47. Marzipan in the shape of a pig. (good luck symbol)

Germans are pretty creative with marzipan and will form almost anything out of it, as I recall. The one that made the greatest impression (though didn't tempt me to buy) was the guy with the pfennig piece coming out of his backside. Apparently that was a good luck symbol, too.

Be certain to eat some Milka (not a typo) chocolate there. It comes in the lilac wrapper. Lecker!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

48. Socialized Healthcare, Horst (1987 Playgirl Model), and Chocolate

Horst hast einen grossen schwanz.

and the chocolate is first rate!

[Twillig]

50. Currywurst

Tell me that you rode around on the trains and didn't pay!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

62. Yes! I've been dying to try Currywurst!

[ffm172]

52. me

:)

[terrya]

54. Just bring back some pictures of your trip.

And post them here. We'd like to see them. :-)

[Kellanved]

55. Just a few things to remember:

I know it is somewhat tedious to battle with the bureaucracy, but ask for a "tax free" recipe for all things you buy to take with you. With the Euro as it is, those things have a tendency to add up.

http://www.zoll.de/english_version/b0_passenger_traffic/c0_holidays_germany/a0_tax_free_shopping/
Contrary to the last line in the document, my experience is that you'll be paid cash at the airport where you check-in.

-Don't be afraid of the Autobahn. The other drivers can smell fear.

-Train tickets are a lot cheaper if bought a few days in advance.

-Consider attending a Soccer match ;-)

- Have a lot of fun.

[arwalden]

64. Thanks Henry!!

That sounds very interesting. I'll check out that web site.

57. freaky german porn

[MrScorpio]

60. Dutch porn is even freakier...

Hey Al, stop by Amsterdam on the way back for me, will ya

[trof]

58. Spaetzle!

Spaetzle Literally translated from German as "little sparrow," spaetzle is a dish of tiny noodles or dumplings made with flour, eggs, water or milk, salt and sometimes nutmeg. The spaetzle dough can be firm enough to be rolled and cut into slivers or soft enough to be forced through a sieve, colander or spaetzle-maker with large holes. The small pieces of dough are usually boiled (poached) before being tossed with butter or added to soups or other dishes. In Germany, spaetzle is served as a side dish much like potatoes or rice, and is often accompanied by a sauce or gravy. The cooked spaetzle can also be pan-fried with a little butter and onions (usually a good left-over idea).
