Wat. This does not resemble my experience over there at all. Though I’m sure the long weekend thing is pretty universal.

I was bitching on the train about Br*ts due to brexit and the older German dude I was talking wouldn’t have a bar of it, calmly replied “they have to make they’re own choices and go their own way and that’s ok” or something to that effect. Auto Bahn was fine and everyone was super friendly when I proclaimed to be a tourist by stating in German “sorry I speak little German, do you speak English”? More often than not they complimented my pronunciation and replied in English.

Hell in the smaller towns, shops didn’t even open on weekend before 10am. Shit was awesome. Would go back in a heartbeat. Though I will concede had I answered differently when they asked where I’m from, it may have been a slightly different experience.
