CW: american privilege
Also doing a bit of Amsterdam and Paris. Not an ideal time with COVID, I know, but... its probably never gonna be a better time, either.
Experiences? Things to try? Avoid?
Hoping to get a feel for every day life in Germany. Don't care too much tourist stuff. First time over the pond, so looking to soak in as much "non-american" stuff as possible.
Germany is in general more bikeable and walkable than the US and has better public transport, but we've got out share of suburban hell. Netherlands would be far more interesting in that regard, especially smaller towns like Utrecht (although Amsterdam is incredibly cozy for a city of that size).
