  • Remember that in foreign countries, your hand symbols are not always the same.

    In America, sticking your thumb up in the air means that you like whatever you are currently enjoying. Giving someone the thumbs up sign means you are having a good time.

    In Germany however... this is how you order another mass of beer.

    More importantly, if you stick your index finger in the air, that means you would like 2 beers, since the thumbs up sign is the number one when counting in German.

    Henry quickly found out after raising his finger that this was the most effective way to get 2 more frosty beverages sent his way!

  • One of the tragedies of bar hopping always comes when you forget to order your next beer before you finish your current one.

    Here Rafael clearly was not thinking and ran out of fresh brew before his next one made it to the table....

    PLEASE do not let this happen to you, heed my warning, and take my advice... order EARLY!

     The stories of the concentration camps and incinerators are chilling. Hard to believe civilized humans would do that. Looks like it turned you to drinking. GRIN
