Cars,Travel and Military in Germany

Berlin hosts the Loveparade every summer starting from 1989. Here are the facts from the previous years, history of the Love Parade.

Do:

- Take breaks and don’t overstress yourself. 
- Wear solid footwear, a sun-shield on your head, carry sun block lotion and drink lots of water. 
- Please stay on the ground (as opposed to climbing street lights).
- Eat a well-balanced breakfast the day of the parade. Pack some nuts and fruit, bread and cheese - be creative.
- Carry a backpack. You can be well prepared with sun protector cream, bottled water (plastic please!), your camera, food, etc.- make a list!
- Prepare to dance all day. Do some warm-up exercises before- it helps! Have some rest now and then, the park is beautiful (remember though to take care of it!)
- Enjoy the moment. Don’t be in a rush. The parade is there all day and all evening for everyone to enjoy. 
- Treat others with the same respect that you expect for yourself.
- The music takes you higher. Dancing makes you higher. Show your love, not drug indulgence. Show your smile, show your body, show your aliveness!

Don’t:

- Don’t use alcohol and drugs. They are bad thirst quenchers. On the contrary, they dry out your body and you run the risk of fainting. 
- Don’t buy illegal drugs at the Loveparade. You never know for sure what will be shoved into your hands.
- Don’t stomp on bushes, don’t climb up trees.
- Don’t start fires and keep your fingers off the plants and flowers. 
- Don’t bring glass bottles or cans with you. Instead, use plastic bottles.
- There will be portable toilets available, so please don’t … well, you get the point.

I was thinking this morning as I made a cup of coffe, how much more involved it is over here in Germany.  To have a cup of coffee, you have to first buy filters, then filter the water (because it’s so hard over here that there is what looks like flour floating around in there).

The problem is that if you forget to filter the water in advance, you’ll have a long wait for that cup of coffee.  I hate that.

Wow, this is pretty cool (I guess)

You can get a Mercedes S500 that will stop attacks from sledgehammer blows and .44 magnum rounds.

The S500 Guard is Mercedes’ first official factory-offered armored car to be available to the U.S. public.
The Factory has fully integrate the armored components into the car. 
Specialized technicians are responsible for installing all of the upgraded and armored components. As such, Mercedes says the effectively hand-built S500 Guard takes five times longer to build than a regular S500. Aftermarket security companies often have to start with a regular production car, meaning they have to disassemble the vehicle completely, install the armored components and then put the car back together.

I just want to know what kind of German drug dealer needs this kind of protection!!!
