Germany on Vacation

Maybe it's because the moose sign has his flag colors on it

@TheyCallMeMo Germany is actually moose, perhaps?

@TheyCallMeMo maybe, but Germany doesn’t seem to be a fan of his own flag

@Topazgirl9 actually, many Germans really love their flag, many people wear accessories with the flag colours on them, only if you fly the actual flag on your yard most would probably thing you're.. you know

Germany please, this is why we have gift shops with *Beware of moose* signs

They always keep digging holes. And if you make one yourself, and want to use it the next day, you'll get an irritated German saying: That ist mine pit.
But I love when they say it in their German Dutch, and they are probably right, because we don't bother to remember exactly where we were the day before...

@Gelderland lol i dk why but having "digging holes in the beach" as a hobby is really cute.
Then again, coming from an archipelagic country, I guess I'm very 'meh' towards beaches now lol

Plot twist: Germany is protecting us from sand moose!

@Nymphadora "pfft sand moose don't exist" famous last words before being mauled to death by a wild sand moose.

@German_Wolf hahahahahah loser *gets onto a helicopter nearly getting hit by wild sand moose* phew

The colors match Germany's flag

@Giraffe Wow. you're right, I like this reasoning.

This is so true... how I loved digging holes and building dams on the beaches of Netherland when I was young. Since Germans are considered travel enthusiasts, I had the chance to dig holes in many european beaches. I liked Netherlands the best (compared to France or Spain) because the waves were not so strong, so sand structures lasted longer when the tide rose. Also the beaches are very flat, so a sand caste stayed "alive" for a long time - even if the tide pushed the water already 50 m further.
As for the swedish moose signs... I have a room which is completely decorated with (German) traffic signs. I wanted to get a moose sign when I visited Sweden a month ago but It looks like they are mounted on the poles realy good (I just looked, I did not take one *g*). In souvenier shops they were about 1000 SEK or 100 € which was a little bit too expensive... so no mooseys for me yet

@Fry3k Why do you have traffic signs in your room? Why do you want them in the first place? I am very confused...

@supriseyaoinosebleed
It's some kind of decoration. It started during my days at university where some nights ended up with some "gathering". I also kept all old license plates from my cars. Now I have a whole guest bathroom in which the walls are full of signs. Since I'm more "mature" (ha-ha!) now I would rather buy new signs then steal them. That's why I was looking for the price of the undoubtly "most Swedish traffic sign".

@Fry3k I guess I can see how people would want those signs. Thanks.

@Fry3k
Can you put your place on Airbnb? So we can pay a visit! :P

I think i have some german blood if this is what germans do. I always dig holes in beaches and hide random stuff in them for some reason. Im really weird :P

@BadgeOfBall Oh, don't worry. That's normal behavior for the dragon-blooded, especially those without an established hoard or nest.

I have a friend who visited Australia and stole one of the "beware of crocodile" signs-- he put it above his hot tub in the garden.

Late to the party but here the explanation: Germans need their own space at the beach, so we build dams out of sand on the beach and make it our "sand castle". Easy.

If that's the worst thing somebody buries whenever he visits, consider yourself lucky.
