Northern Germany vs Southern Germany

[@thunderheartwoman]

As a German who grew up in Hamburg and now lives in Munich, this is spot on!

[@sirrobinofloxley7156]

As someone who has seen your photo with the comment I believe you.

[@andrewshore2898]

I’ve only been to Germany a few times, and it’s always been Munich. One thing I did notice was the incessant amount of handshaking I had to do

[@thunderheartwoman]

It got better since Covid. During the first year or two of the pandemic, handshaking was strictly forbidden. As of now, most of us haven't returned to it and I don't regret it at all.

[@uliwehner]

If you do not shake people's hands you miss out on a lot. Some people reveal a lot about themselves through how they shake hands. A firm brief handshake between men says something else than a longer less firm handshake with someones grandparent. or the cold wet fish handshake some people do (don't buy anything from them). My dad used to say that some people give you "die Hand wie ein Stueck Scheisse". nobody likes that. or think of the jackass who acts like they want to kick your ass, but cry after you shake their hand like a real man..... Also, there is the stage where you graduate from formal handshake to a bear hug, or kissing on the cheek.

[@andrewshore2898]

@@uliwehner I appreciate your thoughtful and thorough response. I like Germans and Germany, but you’re teaching ‘granny, how to suck eggs’ when it comes to interpreting handshakes.

[@uliwehner]

@@andrewshore2898 maybe so, then again, some people love to suck raw eggs. never tried it.

That's just Bavaria. I live in Bavaria 15 minutes from the border to Baden-Württemberg and the shops are opened 2 hours longer than here, so after 8 pm, I could drive to BW and buy my stuff there. I have never done it though, but there would be the possibility.

[@sirrobinofloxley7156]

And in Hamburg is until midnight, your tours can be great 👍

[@amnispalus]

The temperature is more a thing of the South-West than Bavaria, since it has also the coldest winters.

[@enesfurkanz]

its like, Harry Potter in Deutschland.

Immediately recognized the fancy Rewe and bridge and the Haspa. That's certified Hoheluft U3.

„Servus“ lmaooo 😂

[@thorsten1955]

Hahaha, you nailed it! Better return to Southern Germany soon, where they make potato salad the civilized way.

[@nordishbynature268]

Hahaha, that is the ignorant and arrogant behaviour of the south which we love so much... 🙄

[@danielcaruso5155]

Try a simple "Habedere" if you're actually in Bavaria.

[@krispresley]

Did you have a bottle of water in Oettingen ?

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

oida is Austrian, isn't it?

[@Hayaliminici]

Bavarian and Austrian accents and culture are basically the same, so it’s Bavarian as well, even though sadly newer generations especially in Munich speak high German as in the north… similar to how Baden-Württemberg and its Swabian dialects and culture are allemannic and therefore closer to Swiss culture and accents, with little Vorarlberg in Austria sharing the same dialect.

[@budapestkeletistationvoices]

@@Hayaliminici I understand your point about newer generations but as a foreign person I appreciate if someone speaks the language that is foreign to me "properly"

[@danielcaruso5155]

I would say ​@@Hayaliminici is correct although I would say it is just used more frequently in Austria

[@uliwehner]

@@Hayaliminici saying that people in munich speak standard german (Hochdeutsch) is very funny. They speak muechnerisch, a standardized version of bavarian only spoken with tourists or other people who moved to munich from elsewhere. Same is true in Baden Wuerttemberg, or in Franken, we all have a special way of speaking to tourists. but standard german it is not.

[@uliwehner]

@@budapestkeletistationvoices i see the humor, but the way people speak is "properly". standard german is an artificial construct only used in school, or in official media. NOBODY speaks like that, not even the people in Bielefeld who think they do.....

[@typxxilps]

Moin, moin! If you wanna be on the safe side.

[@thunderheartwoman]

There's a saying: In Hamburg, that's just "moin". "Moin moin" is already considered "Gesabbel" (chattering). 😉

[@danielcaruso5155]

​@@thunderheartwoman I love your economic use of language

[@philandrosmusa2643]

1800 is cheap ^^

[@Bc999.]

I'm Syrian who lives and works long in Germany . I was in both north and south Germany. South Germany is much more better . The people , the nature, clean streets and train stations . The Bavarian people are warmer and have more moral values .Munich is expensive but you don't have to stay in Munich. Bavaria is very big
