Cash or credit card?

People who have been to Germany know that here you won't get far with a credit card. Cash is the way to go. And that can be so very frustrating, especially when you're from Denmark and not really used to carrying around cash. I've been living in Germany for 11 months now, and I honestly think that I have used an ATM more during this time than I will for the rest of my life. Okay, that might be an exaggeration but I don't think I'm that far off the mark.

It's not like you can't use a credit card anywhere here in Berlin. Many places accept cards, it's just that you can't count on it. So you still have to make sure to have cash.

Anyway, this just one of the small differences between Germany and Denmark (and many other places).  Living somwhere where you are not depended on having cash on you is definitely something I am looking forward to. Even after 11 months I still am not quite used to this cash society ;-p

No more Sprachenatalier!

Last night, I attended my last German class at Sprachenatalier. Another sign that my time here in Berlin is coming to an end. I've attended class for 32 weeks (so it says on the certificate I received from the school) and I've learned a great deal. I am far from being fluent, but I can construct more or less simple sentences and understand quite a lot. So all in all, I'll say that my German classes have paid off!

But as I still have much to learn, I am considering taking it up again in Copenhagen. It should not be that difficult finding a language school in the Danish capital that offer German classes.
