The social event for Myles' research conference was touring a brewery. The tour guide had a good sense of humor. He said he was covering for another tour guide who forgot to tell him it was an English tour. After a few drinks, he started speaking more German. Although we didn't participate in the sampling, we learned a lot, enjoyed the old building, and tried lots of good German food, family style. Our table included people from France, Germany, Russia, and the States. It made for interesting discussion. The guy from Russia spoke Russian, English, German, French, Spanish, and some Hebrew.
We were surprised that at most restaurants, water is as expensive as beer. We learned to ask for "still water," since we don't care for carbonated water. Water fountains are also very hard to come by, so we'll be packing our own water bottles, along with coins for the bathrooms, in the future.
