Anyone been to Germany? Worth going?

Sorry to hear about your bad experience in France, but the parisian people are sometimes a little bit... "special".
On my side, I visited USA in 1990, 1994 and 2017. I met some very interesting and kind people and some less interesting :rolleyes:
I do not generalize. There are fantastic people in every country, and some others who don't deserve to be met...

if it is any consolation, i love parisienne walkways
