but we germans also severe backwards-oriented to begin with. all kinds of esoteric garbage in daily life is shared and believed in, most things of the modern world is looked at with mistrust, and so on. the bigger/international cities like hamburg or berlin are a stark contrast however, drive like 50 miles outside of them and not much has changed during the last 100 years, except for buildings/infrastructure in gener…

When I visit Germany, I am astounded at how many of my German coworkers dislike fresh air in the office. A beautiful 25c sunny day with a nice breeze, and I opened the window near my desk. Within five minutes, someone has closed it and given me a dirty look (no, the air conditioning is not on.)

Maybe because allergic to pollen?

what they were doing before: nothing.

Do you not view this as a problem, or do you not understand why the EU may view the status quo as a problem?

Meanwhile, Africa is happily going in the opposite direction https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38127560

I don't think what you said in the last sentence is going to be an issue. Each check-in can be handled separately: you check-in to Spain with the Spanish passport, you check-in to the US with the American passport. There will probably be a box in the reservation system to say "I don't need ETIAS/ESTA"

Yeah, Im dual US/Swedish citizen, and the check in is isolated each time. I present my US passport when going to the US and my Swedish Passport when going to the EU. No biggie and never had any trouble throughout my life.

So in the Schengen logs, it seems like you keep entering Sweden (or wherever you transit) but never leave it?

Or do you show your Swedish passport on leaving Schengen?

> This simply isn't true, outside of large chains or supermarkets. Many smaller businesses like pubs, "kiosks", barbers, non-chain restaurants, and so on, are cash only. I have a different experience. I pay by card even for My recommendation, though, is to always have some cash on you, especially if you don't know where you're going. But I would do the same in any other country in the world.

In Denmark, I can count the days I've had cash on me in the last decade on one hand.

I remember seeing a 100kr bill a couple of weeks ago, thinking how weird/unusual it was to see it. I didn't really remember how they looked like.

Not OP, but in my experience they will look for a Schengen entry stamp during the exit control.

Showing e.g. a Swedish passport for border entry and exit, and a US passport for check-in works fine.
