@justcallmecryss âTschĂŒssâ is a lot more common than âAuf Wiedersehenâ.
Itâs better to use âTschĂŒssâ although âAuf Wiedersehenâ is not wrong but as I said not very common anymore :)

I think there are very few thing's you can't to in Germany, that people in other countries do.
Germans like their distance and anonymity. So if you get too close to a stranger, he may feel uncomfortable.
Most Germans talk quietly in public and that's one of the reasons why visitors from countries where people used to talk loudly may be perceived as uncomfortable.
But that's usually not a problem with people from Asia.
Some international celebrities like Germany because even journalists are unobtrusive here and nobody bothers them in public. I've seen celebs like Keanu Reeves or Orlando Bloom walking through Berlin and nobody tried to get in contact or asked for an autograph. Some people (like me) were just shy watching from a distance.
What you can do in Germany: drink alcohol in public at any daytime
