Second night here, went to downtown Stuttgart to watch the Germany v. Australia game. There were lots of public showings in the garden, where projectors were set up and, of course, beer and food were sold.
The game... was awesome! Of course, it's always more fun when the team you're cheering for not only wins, but scores 4 goals. They also played 80s music during the breaks, and the drunk soccer fans were all singing and dancing. There seems to be a consensus that Germans are much more fun drunk than sober.
Food... the biergarten serves traditional German cuisine, which consists of lots of pork, cheese, cream, and potatoes. Not much flavor. Unfortunately, not really my thing. The most appetizing item seemed to be this flatbread pizza thing, which isn't German at all, or the ice cream.
yeah, I've pretty much heard the same about German cuisine. Hopefully it'll get better because you'll be there for a few months!
