Just two more that I stated above..

"also.. when you guys went to germany did you go anywhere else in Europe.. I heard you can catch a train to france for 20 bucks and it only takes a few hours because they travel at 240km/hour!"


"Now that germany have the euro.. will everything be way more expensive because our dollar is low?"

[Olie]

what your thinking of is a ICE (inter-city express) and for $20 i highly doubt it. $200 yes but not $20.

euro is f#@%ed
but when i was over there in 2000, things were generally cheaper 'cos the rate was 1:1.33 AUD:DEM

[EDIT:] Come on Olie you know better. :no:

The only other thing i'm a tad worried about are the neo nazis that are all over Germany.. i'm a jewish bloke and with a name like "Asher Moses", I might be a bit of a target :)

Can anyone shed some light on the matter? Which areas should I stay away from?

[Acid]

also... do you have to wear school uniform in the schools?

sorry, my mates that are coming want me to ask all these questions.

just to give an idea of what the shopping and expenses will be like i have looked at what the conversion rate is for the euro....
$1.00AUS= $0.58569 EURO..... but it wont matter really.. just make sure u double everything there before u by it.... i was recently in america and it dosent really bother u that much u just get used to it... and u will also find that some things are still cheaper even after the conversion....
thats it from me!...
P.S Nice site!

I think you will find that there is more far-right activity in Australia (*cough* Pauline Hanson *cough*) than in Germany - their police seem more cluey than ours :)
