Regional/Cultural Day

Eiscafe Saison

Seasonal. Every German town has an Eiscafe, an Italian-run ice cream parlor that opens in April and closes in October. The Spaghetti Eis is on every menu. The Eiskaffee, coffee with a scoop of ice cream, is ordered by every adult. The Kinder portion is a mathematical concept. No child has ever received a Kinder portion. The Eiscafe is where Germany meets Italy and both agree that the arrangement works.

Erster Spargel Tag

Proposed. The first white Spargel at the Wochenmarkt. The spears are thick, white, and expensive. The first Spargel of the season costs more per kilo than the last Spargel. The price does not matter. The purchase is ceremonial. The peeling begins. The Hollandaise is whisked. The Schinken is laid out. The Kartoffeln are boiled. The first bite of Spargel in April is a reset button. The winter is over. The spring is edible. The Spargel season has begun. It will not end until Johannistag. The country will be relieved. The country will also be sad. The country is complicated about Spargel.

Fruehjahrsmesse Eroeffnung

From the Stuttgarter Fruehlingsfest to the Nuernberger Fruehlingsfest, the spring fairs open across Germany. The rides start. The Bratwurst stands fire up. The Steckerlfisch grills over open flames. The beer tents fill. The spring fair is the smaller, calmer cousin of the Volksfest, and every region has one.

You observe the giant panda in bamboo forests, the Yangtze finless porpoise in rivers, and the Chinese alligator in wetlands across this vast country. You notice that dogs and cats are increasingly popular as pets in urban areas, though many rural families keep chickens, pigs, and ducks.
