My girlfriend and I met this summer working together in a chemistry lab. She was here from Leipzig, working on her Master's degree and is now back in Germany. I just expedited my passport application and hope to travel in the next month. I have never left the country and, although I was nervous and reluctant at first, I'm really excited about it.
I guess I'm asking for things that I should consider while booking my flight, changing my money, packing, and flying. Most of the people that I will spend time with speak decent English, but it would be nice to reciprocate, where can I get a crash course in the German language and maybe pick up some cultural/custom information? I will be spending a week in Leipzig, but plan to visit Berlin for 2 nights. Can anyone suggest things that I should see or do? Are there any dangers that I should be aware of or things that I should take care not to do while traveling or visiting?
Thanks!
