Never been to the US but I’ve worked with software where tax had to be set up per country. The US was something else. It’s different per state, area, city. Weird taxes like “we’re gonna build a new stadium tax”. I really wonder how people work with that in real life. Do you go to the register, have it scanned and then decide if the price is worth it?
If you hear, let’s say, Somalia, normally people would know it’s roughly somewhere east in Africa, Uruguay somewhere in South America etc.
I’ve traveled a lot and only from Americans I’ve heard them say about countries they’ve “never heard of it”. When I say I’m in Czechia, they just call it Chechnya, when I say I’m Dutch they love to mix that up with Denmark for some reason, etc.
Their excuse is always the same too: their school sucks. Dude, we didn’t learn this stuff in school neither. It’s common interest about the world around you, watching the news, etc. Half the countries you “don’t know” were bombed by you.
Yeah we don’t really do school cafeterias. You bring your own food. My middle school did sell some greasy snacks like sausage in a bun but you won’t see a decent lunch being sold
I thought it was EU law but apparently it depends on the country. It’s 3000 in Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and other countries have other limits. But it’s not surprising this is not a thing in Germany, they really try to push for cash
There’s not a lot of places accepting those currencies. Either take a European currency or US$.
But better to not take cash at all, especially that much. You have to declare it etc. Just pay by card and use ATMs if you really need cash.
It’s illegal to buy anything in cash over 3000 euros
They’re very uncommon. I once got paid cash for fruit picking in France. It was the first and only time I carried 200 euro notes. No shop accepts them. ATMs give out 50 euro notes max.
I saw a lot of spent bullets in the streets after NYE in Berlin. Must be a German tradition
