Ask a real German questions and I will answer on here.

Keep in mind, I will NOT answer questions I find to be toxic, provocative or just plain and simple silly.

How is Germany? Is it a good country to live in?

Do German public restrooms actually charge people money to use them?

And what do you think of the former German countries like Switzerland and Austria?

I don't think its a good country to live in but its not the worst country to live im.

No, mostly not, sometimes they do. The thing with restrooms is more a matter of donations. When you go into public restrooms, there is usually a cleaning person sitting around and a little bowl that says 50 cents or something along that line. Sometimes it does not say anything.

No one cares if you don't put money in there, but you can.


Only places really charging you for toilets is petrol stations, as far as I remember.

But generally no, generally Germans restrooms are for free if public.

I like Austria and I love Switzerland, in fact I am about to move to Switzerland in soon future as I already work there and spend a lot of time there.

I see.

Yeah I heard Switzerland is some of the best countries in Europe. I heard it's a very expensive country though.

I personally wouldn't want to live in Germany either since I've heard things aren't doing well there.

Also I've heard their censorship laws are very strict (no violence, blood, and gore in video games, I actually heard they're less strict with sexual content compared to violence).

Switzerland is only expensive if you are not on a Swiss salary ;)

Censorship is a problem, not only in video games.

And yeah I know it's not just video games, their censorship rules are so strict.

I mean, they are currently trying to ban our only popular " right-wing / conservative " party while its gaining more and more support within the population and has seats in our 'Reichstag' in Berlin.

I think this says it all about this current government,.

Toilets charge money in the netherlands, thats a given.. if you can FIND one.

to find a toiletbuilding out in the open.. is nearly ZERO.
where those buildings do excist.. expect a door on them where you are expected to toss cash in to enter.

large events.. will have public toilets placed for free.. as do most amusement partks but those will be placed after checkin.. so paying customers only..

-> most shops WONT have a toilet for visitors and even when you ask to use the staff one.. they say no for security reasons.. as thats in the back where the offices are..

-> most cafe's and restaurants do have a toilet.. and it's free.. but they won't allow you acces to it unless you are a paying customer.

-> very few petrolstations will have toilets.. only the larger ones that also serve as truckstop will.. expect to have to pay there..

-> inside SOME trains there is a toilet that you can use for free but not all. some trainstations (not all) do also have public toilets but those at the stations will charge you money.

Most schools, offices etc will have free toilets but only if you are a student there.. outsiders not allowed in.

so basicly : unless you are an student, employee or paying customer..
pay the 50 cent to use the toilet!

and don't you dare just piss in the canals or against a tree : that be a 320 euro fine for "wildplassen"
it's illigal to pee(or poo) outside in our nation.

----

edit : I believe there IS a special pass you can get.. thats for like people with an illness they need to go to the loo very often.. those passes will make some cafes and restaurants to go in and use their loo without purchase needed..
but thats upto those cafe's and restaurants if they join in that program.
just as free tapwater is not obligated either.. many restaurants refuse to serve that.. or will charge you 3 euro per glass even for tapwater..

Wow! Censorship really is that bad? Sounds like it's not just entertainment that has censorship problems over there.

Are German manufactured cars still high quality? Which is better for daily drive Audi or BMW?

Who is your favourite German character in Gaming? Mine is Gherman from Bloodborne because his name is almost actually German and he's cool.

I have red it here too.. yeah it is bad..

there is a political party in germany.. that has some "radical" ideas...
-> nothing I find radical personally...

they basicly say : look not only should we stop allowing so many immigrants in germany.. we should actually revoke a couple of german passports handed out last decades.. returning those people to the nationality they had at birth/before and than if they don't move back.. put them on a plane to go back.

voices in germany want to BAN that party.. the only debate being if banning that party would not risk a civil war/more support for them...and be worse than just let them be a minority party.

-> in my own nation the netherlands.. we have similair problems.. while in OUR law banning parties is not possible yet.. there are talks in parlement to make that possible...
which would be HIGHLY unconstitutional.. for the chosen parties MAKE the laws..

so political parties should be immine to those laws.. at least in their plans.. for anything they desire may be against the law now.. if they get enough votes.. legally they can alter the law...

the law should not be abused to prevent that change.

So basically I should avoid going for a walk outside due to lack of public toilet, and even if I manage to find one, I should carry some money with me at all times in the Netherlands.

Their public parks should at least have a public restroom there.

I honestly wonder which country doesn't have corrupt government.

Well good luck in your fight.
