Germany is like Reading or Basingstoke. It’s bleak and has no character.
Hmmm, I think I take offense at that.
There are a lot of very beautiful cities in germany, castles, rivers, mountains, beaches etc etc etc. Germany has just about every landscape you can think of, excellent food of all descriptions (lots and oodles of restaurants of every ethnicity), and even better beer and wine.
Take a cruise down the Rhine river and then tell me that again!
