Other - Germany

I am American. I have lived in Germany for over 19 years. Not with the US Military. I work for a German firm in Hessen. I have a traditional Bavarian 'Tracht' Lederhosen outfit complete with blue&white checkered shirt, shoes, soxes, etc. I wear this outfit to the Oktober Fest every year. Recently I was at a work party in a local German restaurant when a guest(A younger German guy from Hamburg of all places) at another table noticed that I am not German and proceeded to make negative comments. He said that only Bavarian Germans should dress that way, I was making fun of Germany, and that as a non-German I certainly had no right to wear lederhosen. My work colleagues have no problem with my lederhosen and it almost turned into a fight, but the restuarant owner knows me(Stammgast) so he told Mr. Hamburg to shut up or leave. Kind of ruined the night for me. Anyway I was just wondering what Germans think of this?

Since I've a category by country, should I display as Germany or Deutschland?

Be aware that the audience is for people in German.

By the way, what is the most popular search engine in Germany?

When doing serach in search engine, do you commonly use German language or English language?

I was thinking of visiting my Aunt in Germany, and my parents said they didn't want to go so I asked if I could fly by myself, and they really didn't know.

I'm headed to Germany (Berlin specifically) around New Year's. I'm just wondering if people who visit/live there have suggestions of things to do. What was the best thing you did there? I'm not a huge cathedral/museum type person, but I really enjoy cool restaurants or bars, offbeat sights or experiences, local color. Any suggestions?

This questions is mostly for people in Europe, specifically Germany, since I don't know if this is done throughout Europe or just here.

My husband and I are stationed in Germany with the US Army. In searching for an apartment off post, we've found our biggest difficulty to be finding a place with a fixed kitchen. I come from a land where kitchens (and bathrooms and closets for that matter) are standard equipment in a home, even a rented one. I've asked locals and other people who've been here for years why this is, and the best answer I get is "People just have their own stuff."

What I can't wrap my mind around is that when you move, if your kitchen won't fit in the new place, you still have to sell it and buy a new one. This could potentially happen every time you move. I realize standing wardrobes and dressers are more flexible, but why not just build the kitchen into the house to start with, then you know you'll have one that fits, and you'll have less to move?
