Recent visit to the Deutschland for a few days had me hopping with energy.  What with so much brew ha ha as in Beer at every turn and mostly good.  Had to get in to the spirit. So here are some observations while trying to keep the eyelids open.... 1.  There are more Germans with facial hair than not - perhaps beats India in this matter now what with many a wannabe MBA getting rid of their hirsute characteristics...quite a few of those Rhinelanders also sport a handlebar 2. Service does not exist - at least in the restaurants and even the famous beer gardens where you have the privilege to be yelled at by the servers and cooks - What?  This is Bratwurst and This is Frittes...yaaa - you pay thear! 3.  Beer Gardens or Bier Gartens as they are colloquially referred are more than mushrooms after a rain...it is the equivalent of a pav bhaji stall in Pune neighborhoods - most serve decent lager which is local to the area and standard fare includes some sausage...
