Whenever you visit another country, no matter how prepared you think you are, you’re still bound to find something you’ve never seen before.

German culture shocks

Every country has its own unique cultural quirks, social norms and weird customs. These might seem strange to someone who is experiencing them for the first time, but for locals, these are as normal as brushing your teeth every morning (which, coincidentally, might not be so normal to everyone!)

Germany is no different, and as a non-local, you’re definitely going to be surprised – if not mind-blown – by some of the things you’ll witness during your time here - whether that's food, double-decker trains or some rather unusual kinds of doctors. This fun video from DW Euromaxx looks at seven things that you may or may not have seen before you arrived in Germany.

How many of these have you come across? Did they surprise you? Let us know in the comments below!
