The school has already given us a schedule for what we can do. We’re going to museums, factory tours, that sort. So no suggestions for any activities to do or places to go to.

I would like some tips on some things I should know about Germany, perhaps some German phrases I should understand, cultural differences, or laws I need to know. Anything important that I should be aware of?

It will be about a weeklong trip

    I think it’s less about that we are looking at people, but more about the length/intensity of eyecontact in general.

    Other countries might consider it impolite to inspect a passing stranger’s choice of clothing or keeping eyelock during a conversation.

    Continuous eyecontact combined with a neutral expression might appear condescending or judgemental to foreigners, but that is just my interpretation.
