Hi List, My Dad and I are going to Neukirchen, near Buetzow, for the first time
and will be leaving in early Sept.
Any advice for us for first time visits to Europe? I am concerned about the
following:
1) Language problems
2) Security issues
3) Rental cars
4) Gas prices
5) Food problems
6) Hotel suggestions
7) Packing and luggage
We just bought some high dollar camera and computer equipment to help with
documenting the trip with digital images, etc. I am now concerned with how safe
will we be and what security measures we should take to protect us from thieves,
vandals, and the like.
If anyone on this list has recently visited this part of Europe or especially
the Neukirchen area between Rostock and Buetzow I would really appreciate any
insights or suggestions. We will also be visiting Schwerin and Hamburg, also
relatives in Lanaken, Belgium.
You can e-mail me directly if you would like.

Hi List, My Dad and I are going to Neukirchen, near Buetzow, for the first
time
and will be leaving in early Sept.
Any advice for us for first time visits to Europe? I am concerned about the
following:
1) Language problems
IN MECKLENBURG (ROSTOCK AND SCHWERIN) VERY FEW PEOPLE ONLY SPEAK ANY OTHER
LANGUAGE THAN GERMAN (AND RUSSIAN - YOU ARE IN THE EX-GDR).
2) Security issues
NONE, SEE BELOW
3) Rental cars
IN ROSTOCK OR HAMBURG OR SCHWERIN YOU GET THEM. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE FEAR
THAT THEY WILL CHEAT OR MURDER YOU. THE SAME WITH TAKING TAXIES. YOU CAN
TAKE ANY TAXI WITHOUT FEAR. OR GO BY TRAIN.
4) Gas prices
ONE DOLLAR (TWO DM) PER LITER.
5) Food problems
THE SAME AS IN USA. YOU FIND MCDONALDS AND SUPERMARKETS.
6) Hotel suggestions
NO PROBLEM. TAKE ANY HOTEL. NO FEAR TO BE CHEATED OR MURDERED OR YOUR THINGS
STOLEN. ONE NIGHT ABOUT 50-80 DOLLARS PER PERSON (100-150 DM).
7) Packing and luggage
WHAT IS THE QUESTION? SUITCASE OR BAGS OR A SACK ON YOUR BACK, IT IS ALL
OK.
We just bought some high dollar camera and computer equipment to help with
documenting the trip with digital images, etc. I am now concerned with how
safe
will we be
VERY SAFE. COMPARED WITH PROBABLY ANY OTHER COUNTRY YOU SHOULD BE IN ONE OF
THE SAFEST COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, IF YOU ARE IN GERMANY. AND IN MECKLENBURG
WITHOUT REALLY LARGE CITIES EVEN SAFER.
and what security measures we should take to protect us from thieves,
vandals, and the like.
NONE
If anyone on this list has recently visited this part of Europe
I LIVE IN MECKLENBURG.
or especially the Neukirchen area between Rostock and Buetzow I would really
appreciate any insights or suggestions. We will also be visiting Schwerin
and
Hamburg,
THIS IS A MINIMAL BIGGER SECURITY PROBLEM, BUT IN COMPENSATION THERE VERY
MANY PEOPLE SPEAK ENGLISH.
