Antique German Beer Steins
It was my first time in Germany. I was about 19 years old. I had just joined the service and my first duty station was in Germany.
Everywhere I went, it was like I was in a different world. I mean, I knew I was in a different country. But man alive, the culture is really steeped in history and tradition that just can not be duplicated.
I’m glad I had two days off because that first day of arriving in Germany became an exploration with some of my friends who had been there awhile. Let’s just say I used the second day to recover.
We went to a handful of pubs and I drank so many different types of beers, I had never thought there were that many in the world. But, I enjoyed getting a taste of a culture other than my own for once.
The thing is that now that I’m back in the states, nothing comes close to that experience. I love American bars and pubs too. I definitely love the different beers we have. But, the experience and the culture was mind blowing.
Not even going to Oktoberfest in America can come close to what I experienced in Germany.
