Our capital is <strong>Berlin<\/strong>, and of course, we speak <strong>German<\/strong> and pay with <strong>Euro<\/strong>. Our country has a big historical background, especially the Second World War is still an important subject in Germany and we were divided into two countries (with a wall which even divided Berlin into two parts). The German reunification was on the 3rd of October 1990, it is our national holiday. We are less than half per cent of the world&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shops_are_closed_on_Sundays\"><\/span><b>Shops are closed on Sundays<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>It&#8217;s <strong>cheaper to buy food in the supermarket and cook your own meal<\/strong> than go out to a restaurant. However, if you go to restaurants or bars you usually give the waiter a <strong>tip of around 10%<\/strong> for his &#8211; and this is the important part &#8211; good service. On the other hand, it is also totally common to actually give no tip in case the waiter was impolite or the service bad.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to buy food in the supermarket you should know that <strong>all shops and supermarkets are closed on Sundays<\/strong>. There are some exceptions on special days (Verkaufsoffener Sonntag). There are also special rules for <strong>convenience stores<\/strong>, <strong>petrol stations<\/strong> and <strong>supermarkets which are part of a train station<\/strong>. If you are in Berlin, you can for example go to the supermarket at the central station or Ostbahnhof. But the groceries can be more expensive, especially at the convenience store.<\/p>\n<p>One special attention for tourists in <strong>Bavaria<\/strong> (for example Munich, Nuremberg, castle Neuschwanstein) and<strong> Saarland<\/strong>: <strong>Supermarkets close here a little bit earlier<\/strong>, at the latest 8pm.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deposit_on_plastic_and_beer_bottles\"><\/span><strong>Deposit on plastic and beer bottles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>In Germany, we have a <strong>deposit for most bottles<\/strong>. You recognise it through a little sign on the bottle, which shows a can and a bottle with a returning arrow. P<strong>lastic bottles, cans and beer bottles but also some other glass bottles (for example soft drinks) have deposits<\/strong>. Most big glass bottles with alcohol (wine or spirits) are non-returnable.<\/p>\n<p>Plastic bottles and cans have a 0.25 Euro deposit, and beer bottles (glass) 0.08 Euro. There is also a deposit on the crate itself. After you emptied the bottles you can bring it back to the supermarket and get your money back. This deposit system is part of the environmental protection of Germany and should help the recycling system. Furthermore, many homeless people in Germany collect bottles with a deposit from public parks. So if you do not want to bring your bottle home you can just place it next to a trash bin people will collect it from there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-228\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"228\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mytraveljournal-blog.com\/de\/good-to-know-about-germany\/dscn5582-kopie\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mytraveljournal-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSCN5582-Kopie.jpg?fit=641%2C481&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"641,481\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;COOLPIX P80&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1449586615&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;9.8&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;64&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00471698113208&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSCN5582 &amp;#8211; Kopie\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mytraveljournal-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSCN5582-Kopie.jpg?fit=525%2C394&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-228 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mytraveljournal-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSCN5582-Kopie.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bundestag in Berlin\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mytraveljournal-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSCN5582-Kopie.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mytraveljournal-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSCN5582-Kopie.jpg?w=641&amp;ssl=1 641w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bundestag in Berlin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport\"><\/span><b>Public transport<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Compared to many other countries, Germany has <strong>expensive public transport<\/strong>.
