Yes. That's the burden of moving into another culture. Ideally you should get some help from your advisor with it, but you are still the one who needs to do the bulk of the adjustment.

FWIW, it'll come in very handy later in your career, when you can put 'culturally aware' on your resume as a skill. But you are the one in their environment, and you can't expect them all to conform to your expectations. They are probably already making allowances that you aren't aware of.

Your advisor may have been giving you subtle behavioral clues that you've missed. Try talking with him about cultural differences; he may be able to give you more guidance to how things are done there, and can certainly give you a better handle on his expectations. But you need to be more aware that cultural differences are getting in your way. You seem to feel entitled to being accommodated; that's another very American trait, and not a good one. The stereotype of the Ugly American came from reality, just like many other stereotypes. We are not that special that the rest of the world should be accommodating us.

I've run into this many times in different countries. You'd be surprised at how many people think Americans are overly friendly, effusive, and loud. We call everyone by their first name and we generally aren't shy about our opinions, whether it's about politics, religion, money and finances, people's working styles, or lifestyles. And we're very casual in our dress and mannerisms. It can really rub people in other cultures the wrong way. Try observing more closely how they treat each other, and find ways to live with it.

And you will always be a guest in their country, at least until you become a citizen. Act like it, be more respectful, and play by their rules. When in Rome...

Edit: Here are some books(and this one)that may help with the transition. And please realize--this situation is by and large not a function of you personally, it's a cultural clash. Right now it may seem like they're rejecting you as a person, but they really aren't--they are put off by your americanisms. Try not to be hurt by that. It can feel very personal, but it's really not. Once you understand the culture better and how to function within it, you'll be fine. Meanwhile, finding friends in the international student groups and other interest groups would probably be a good idea.

> I want to visit Berlin forsure but don't know if I should stay there for entire month or visit other cities

Berlin is big in the sense that it is spread out over a large area and sights of interest are scattered all over the place: you could certainly spend a couple of weeks in Berlin and still not see everything. Berlin has had a fascinating history from the 12th century onwards, and each era has left its mark on the city. I highly recommend Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness Guides to get the most out of a big city like Berlin. As well as being packed with insider tips, history, art and architecture, they also have a comprehensive guide to everything from how to recognise a police officer to how to use the public transport.

Even so, a month is long enough to strike out and explore a bit. It depends on what you're interested in, but here are a few ideas that are easily within reach of Berlin:

Potsdam (literally right next to Berlin)
The Spreewald, around Lübben and Lübbenau; the home of the Sorbs, a Slavic ethnic minority, in an area of marshland with more canals than roads; the only place in Germany where the post is delivered by punt
Dresden
Leipzig
Schwerin
Hamburg
Erfurt

Prague is close enough if you spend a night or two there (not Germany, of course, but definitely worth a visit if you can manage it).

In these 7 books, you will not find your traditional phrasebooks, grammar explanations, vocabulary lists, nor compilations of short stories. Frankly, there's already an overabundance of these types of books in stores and online.

Instead, you will find an analysis into HOW and WHY some people can get so good at foreign languages and why others seemingly cannot. People are quick to point out that some are built to learn languages and others are not. This is not true at all, however. We have all come to learn and speak our native language fluently, yes?

The issue at heart boils down to studying and reviewing vs. reading and listening in the long term. Of course, when we begin learning a new language, a good amount of studying is required to build a basic foundation of grammar and vocabulary in the new language. Acquiring this foundation turns out to be easy for most people, and it can be done through whatever means you like i.e. coursebooks, Duolingo, or classes.

After the basics have been acquired, it is here that we find the biggest mistake in language learning. As beginning language learners, we relied on studying and reviewing to get us through the early beginning stages, and we use this as a crutch to hobble through the rest of the journey.

Unfortunately, studying and reviewing will not get you very far into the intermediate and advanced stages. You may be able to study and retain a conversational-level of vocabulary (3,000-5,000 words), but you won't be to understand native speakers who are using 25,000+ words to communicate with other native speakers. Many push themselves to study 3 or more hours a day to catch up with native speakers, but this is the inevitable path to burnout. This is why even the most hardcore language learners quit.

Reading and listening (especially to native materials) is the way to go. It can be quite frustrating at first because how little you understand, so that is why this series of books exists. They were designed to give you the tools and strategies to make the learning process much more fun and effective. These techniques are inspired by polyglots who have used these ideas for years to not just learn one foreign language but multiple!

There are tons of bike routes that mostly run separate from large roads.
This book on Amazon Germany will give you an overview. I do not know if it is available in English.

Most scenic routes are along rivers. The Rhine route from Cologne southwards is very beautiful and there are a lot of historic cities (Koblenz, Mainz, Speyer, Heidelberg, Freiburg) to visit. Some date back to the Romans, and there is lots of local wine to sample.

Another popular trip is southwards along the Elbe from Hamburg to Dresden, much of it is through national park land (used to be the border river between East and West Germany). Hamburg and Dresden (and Dannenberg and Magdeburg along the way) are very much worth seeing, and you can hop on the train in Dresden and be in Berlin in two hours, if that's where you want to end up.

Going west to east like you planned is unusual, and the countryside is not so interesting IMO. I don't know where you got the idea, but I'd suggest that if you must start in Cologne, go south, and if you absolutely want to end up in Berlin, take a train from Heidelberg or Freiburg.

You can only take a bike on the IC and IR trains, the ICE does not have a bike compartment. I think the bike costs about 10 Euros extra on the train, and it's one of the most comfortable ways to travel.

A Lonely Planet book, like a phrasebook or small guide would be fun! I like these Lonely Planet phrasebooks. Or a guidebook where you use post-its to tag your favorites in the book.

You do realise that it covers only Munich and Salzburg (not all of Bavaria) and was published in 2015, even earlier than the Lonely Planet one? If I was you, I would return it. Rick Steves is good, but a guidebook from 2015 (thus containing info from 2014) is outdated and thus useless in many parts. That is the reason I recommended against the LP guide!

I do realise the Rick Steves Guidebook is the cheapest. But never ever try to save money on a guidebook by getting an old one, you will regret it later.

IMO a better deal will be the Eyewitness Travel Guide for Bavaria:

https://www.amazon.com/Eyewitness-Travel-Guide-Munich-Bavarian/dp/1465468234/

This one also looks good:

I cant find the exact one I was looking for though taking a look thru visual dictionaries like this and the Lonely Planet Phrase books for great topic ideas. I really think they cover a wide breath.

u/spvanderm · 2 points r/travel

Also....get the Rick Steves book on Germany. Best $25 investment you’ll make in your trip

> That's actually on my list of things to watch

I was thinking of the guidebook, actually. There are also a bunch of great podcasts from Rick about Germany.

u/Atanar · 1 point r/AdviceAnimals

Sorry, I am not really an expert on the topic. My knowledge of castles is as a young archaeologist in Germany tangible at best, my focus is prehistory.

Zeune wrote this book that was translated in english. I did not read it, but the author is reputable. I suspect it's more about architecture, though.

I think your questions can't easily be answered anyway since sources on those informations are very thin.
