Greetings from Munich! Even though Feli's trip came with some complications, she made it home and we got to record an episode in person for you! Granted, we're fresh off a sugar high from all the Krapfen from Fasching/Karneval/Fastnacht… you get the point! Just as a lot of people are surprised to hear that Fasching is celebrated in Munich, we have both been surprised by certain things or culture shocks in our respective chosen countries when we first moved there. From the size of the infrastructure and the true “rudeness” of customer service in Germany or the gun violence and religious prevalence in the U.S. there is a big difference between knowing something and truly experiencing it. Even the most well-prepared travelers can’t be prepared for every situation and quickly learn that it’s best to expect the unexpected. We hope you all enjoy the episode and let us know what surprised you when interacting with other cultures!
