At the grocery store:

• you have to pay 1 euro to use a shopping cart
• the bags are not free
• the plastic fork and napkin that you get at the salad bar is not free

At the restaurants:

• a glass of coke is 2.40 euro ($3.40)
• no ice
• no tap water
• don't assume they take credit cards
• and lastly, don't go to a Mexican food restaurant

For breakfast, get used to:

• salami!
• bread, lots of bread
• liverwurst
• pickles
• no bacon!

When you drive:

• the map is confusing as hell
• people drive FAST
• gas is about $5 -6 a gallon

and:

• people are friendly and helpful
• you can't find a piano anywhere and pitch pipe we bought is out of tune!
• McDonald's has onion rings, cheesecake, hot milk and will charge you for ketchup
• "getting lost" is our middle name
