For example, a tip of two or three euros is a good tip for excellent service. 10) When shopping for groceries at a supermaket, you have to buy your own plastic bags. 11) Expect to see everything closed on Sundays except for a few restaurants, gas stations, bars, and shops at the central train station. 12) Know now that public phones are quite rare. They only take telephone cards. So it might be a good move to buy a telephone card a shops such as "Post," T-Punkt", or "Vodafone."   My Airfare Secrets                                                               Bookmark
