If you’ve been there or live there, I’d love to hear your perspective. I’m going for the first time to visit my daughter, who lives with her German boyfriend near Munich in a town called Grunwald. I’m coming from Michigan. The question’s intentionally broad since I’m curious about everything: must-try experiences, daily life, culture, etc.
Wear something identifying you as Canadian and people will treat you nicer. Though Cologne in general and Gamescom specifically should be very open minded to all cultures anyways.
