I'm going to be spending a lot of time there, granted a few years in the future but I imagine it won't change that much.
By that time I will speak fluent -or nearly fluent- German. My accent might not be so hot, but I'll be understandable.
What are some general cultural norms I should know? I am by nature a very quiet person, I don't say much and when I do I speak softly by anyone's standards -I have had this verified by Scandinavian relatives- so the loud American thing won't apply. Clotheswise I have always gone for simple, solid, neutral, earthy colors. I figure that can't be too offensive.
However, I'd like to know German table manners -specifics-, pub etiquette, bus/metro etiquette, and specifically anything to do with bikes since I will be biking across Germany.
