I ended up today in Mannheim...for the Mai-Markt...the big Pfalz 'expo'. So six things:
1. If you never been.....it's last week of April....first week of May. 10 Euro per adult. Wouldn't advise to bring kids.
2. Big item for this show? Balcony-mounted solar panels....must have been 12 distribution companies showing off their stuff.
3. I went by Bahn.....I will just say the system worked as advertised.
4. New fashion trend? One out of fifteen women wearing fitness-work-out pants....meaning every inch of the butt is prominent. Ok for a fitness club....wrong item for school or some public event.
5. Food is 20-percent higher than 4 years ok. I had what was classified as a 'Swank-steak' sandwich.....cut about 50-percent of what you'd typically expect but normal charge.
6. Had to wait for 70 minutes at the Mannheim train station.....waited mostly out front of the building. Two cops on patrol.....they must have checked ID on 15 guys while I was standing there.....NONE of them German types. Just odd....being fairly aggressive. But none of the 15 had any issues (they all had their ID).
