bonjour to all the french anons out there and good morning europe

Good morning.

Not to be a smartass, but a croissant is supposed to be crescent-shaped. That's why it's called a "coissant". Also it's Austrian, not French. A Vienna baker came up with it when the Turks were defeated in 1683.

Have a nice morning germanbro and thanks for the trivia!

Thank you, and a nice morning to you too. I worked hard all week and now I can enjoy the weekend. (I still have to put in a few hours of work, but I'll do that later.)

>>213155433
Im about to finish my vacation and then Im back to work so making the best of it, have a great weekend

>finish my vacation
Oh. Over here, school holidays in 14 of the 16 federal states start today. There's going to be a lot of traffic on the roads. Petrol prices have already increased. (They do that all the time when people travel.) I hope you have a few last nice days of vacation and you get back safely. Have a nice weekend, too!

No no, I work I just took a 2 week break was just relaxing in my local park

>>213155511
That's nice, too, and underrated I think. I live in a very green 600,000 inhabitant town with lots of nice places. I can't take holidays this year, but I used to relax at home, too. You don't have to travel, you don't have to spend money on expensive hotels and restaurants, you can just have a nice picknick in a park and then sleep in your own bed. No stressful travel, no traffic jams on the Autobahn, no overcrowded trains or airports, no difficulties with foreign languages or currencies.

I think a lot of people are blinded grass is greener on the other side, they maybe dont appreciate how nice they have it around them

Maybe there's also a psychological effect of leaving your problems behind you for a short while as you leave your surroundings, your home town or even your home country. I haven't done that in a long time, but I remember I used to feel differently over there.

However travel is expensive, I am relatively poor, and the country I vacationed last in is now under radical muslim rule and has had terror attacks on tourists, so I won't go back there. Ever since corona travel restrictions the touristy towns in my own country have been booked out, too. You'd have to reserve a room 12 months in advance if you want to travel to the Baltic Sea coast for example, and I can't plan that far ahead.

Well reading your post Im happy I dont travel much

What a nice thread. Thanks, Poland friend

>>213155576
Very good attitude. My area gets lots of tourists from other parts of Germany during the summer while all the locals flee elsewhere, and I never really got it. There's a reason people come here, it's nice here. I guess a change of scenery can be nice once in a while..

Here's an idea: Visit places that aren't overrun with tourists.

Have a good day!

>>213156049
What am I to do in Sprockhövel, Schmölln or Frohnhausen? There's nothing there, so nobody wants to go there.

>>213156115
Stick to your 08/15 vacation then.
>nothing there
This is wrong but you wouldn't know unless you went and looked

Very true and very based. There is peace and wonder to be found just in one's own garden.
