Into the book
Starting with the K-POP craze, various K-contents are receiving great love around the world.
Among them, K-dramas and movies are gaining recognition for their popularity and artistic quality, and their status is rising.
With the Netflix original series "Squid Game" becoming a global sensation and Korean video content enjoying box office success on global OTT platforms, the most popular K-drama of the first half of 2024 was "Queen of Tears."
Germany was the main location for the drama "Queen of Tears," starring Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won. Let's take a look at the main filming locations that brought laughter and tears to viewers.
--- p.32 From "Where was the German filming location for "The Queen of Tears"?"

Coffee is arguably the most popular drink in the world. Germany is no exception, offering a coffee experience anytime, anywhere. If there's no store, there's even a vending machine selling coffee beans.
Most cafe menus, except for Starbucks, do not offer 'Americano' or 'Iced Americano', so if you want an Americano, you can order 'Cafe Kaffee'.
Recently, the number of cafes adding 'Americano' and 'Iced Americano' to their menus is increasing.
You can choose between the large size 'Grossgroß' and the small size 'Klein'.
--- p.40 From "Coffee in Germany"

Opened in 2019, it is the sixth museum on Museum Island and serves as the main lobby and central hub for the entire Museum Island, connecting each museum.
It is named after James Simon (1851-1932), the most important benefactor in the history of Berlin museums, who donated over 10,000 art collections and excavated objects, and was designed by British architect David Chipperfield, winner of the Pritzker Prize, often called the Nobel Prize of architecture.
The modern design, which contrasts and harmonizes with the classical style of existing museums, is attracting attention worldwide.
Special exhibitions featuring great archaeological discoveries from around the world are always a huge hit.
A special exhibition on Egypt's Elephantine Island will run until the end of April 2025.
--- p.90 From "Museum Island"

The most famous and popular travel course, a highlight of the German Road tour.
Beginning in the wine and university town of Würzburg on the Main River in central Germany, to Füssen at the foot of the southern German Alps, the Romantic Road showcases a wealth of European culture, art, and history against a backdrop of breathtaking natural scenery.
The walled city center offers a time travel experience, as if you've stepped back in time to a medieval city, while the picturesque castle built at the foot of the Alps is a dreamlike sight.
Originally, it meant 'the road to Rome' for trade with Italy, but it became a travel destination with a 'romantic' theme that perfectly matches its name.
--- p.392 From "Romantic Road"

Germany is one of the best countries in Europe to travel by rental car.
You can drive on the Autobahn, the dream road for drivers, parking is convenient compared to other European countries, and rental fees are relatively low.
The Autobahn is known to have no toll gates, so there are almost no congestion or delays, and the speed limit is unlimited, but in reality there are sections with speed limits.
However, it is usually equipped with conditions to run at around 150 km/h.
On highways, the first lane is for passing, the last lane is for trucks and slow vehicles, and passing must always be done in the left lane.
On general roads, the center line is white, lane changes are possible on the dotted line, and lane changes are not possible on the solid line.
--- p.438 From "Transport in Germany"
