Tips on arrival for any group:
- Before the event, request organiser:
Print & bring an A4 size paper or card,
folded in 2, with Single short keyword quoted in
event announcement, Name of group or organiser,
etc. In Maximal Large Thick Black Felt Pen, On
table or like at airport arrivals. visible from
distance, Samples To Print For Berklix.Org & Meetup.COm
- If you can't find group do not assume
organiser has canceled event. Go in, (past any
queue of random un-booked public waiting for a
table)
- Go to bar / cashier where reservation book
is, Ask staff there (rather than random waiters
on floor carrying drink/food) for: Booking name
of group or organiser, Time the table is booked
for, & size of table (number of people
booked).
- Even if you cant speak German & waiter
cant speak English, Say "English Group"
(Pronounced "English Gruppe" in German) That
should help them help you<./li>
- Ask customers at every big table, Listen
where you hear English.
- Be on time, then there's a largely empty
table to look for. & An organiser looking
toward door, not yet deep in conversation
- If its a larger group for a cafe/restaurant,
it'll usually be inside, cos cafes don't usually
have big tables on the pavement.
+ outside some public smoke: (More Germans smoke
than English speakers (author has been in Germany
decades & hates tobacco smoke)).

Bahkauv
If you come out of a pub in the right area of Aachen
late at night, one can stare at the bronze statue of
mythical beast Bahkauv. see last colour pic base of
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahkauv
( Reminds me of the statue of a panther in Munich at the South West
Corner of Rosenheimer & Anziger Strassen.
google.com/maps. In winter fog the panther
looks eerie ! (P.S. There's still massive
radio aerials on top of that building last I
looked, I think it was an American military base
after WW2, & still Police near the Panther,
presumably with radio access, one can probably
radio control whole of Bavaria from there, prob
still of military significance, though people
discuss Pullach. )

50 Kilometer from Aachen,
converted from gravel pits, Map shows it to be
patchy small bits of water, not an open expansive
lake such as Walchensee or Chiemsee (though Chiemsee
usually useless for wind surfing, not enough wind on
Bavarian plane unless a storm is brewing).
