I'm a simple emigrant and I've grown used to parties at the kiosk

I remember when I had just arrived, I was a little shocked by how completely ordinary people love spending time at beer kiosks. Such barbarity, I thought, this is more suitable for the homeless or those who have nothing to do in life. Then one by one street festivals began to take place, where the main principle was also to stand, drink, and talk. I can't say that I loved it, but I definitely got into it. My colleagues have a favorite kiosk, Yok Yok, about 200 meters from Frankfurt's main station. Before corona I can't even say how many times we were there for after-work drinks. It's some kind of special aesthetics: you stand on a narrow sidewalk, completely packed with people — every two minutes you have to move to free someone's path. Every minute strange characters appear hoping to beg for a coin or at least collect empty bottles. If you're tired you can take beer crates and make yourself a chair and a table out of them. In short, it sounds not attractive at all, but Germans somehow love spending time like this. Pros: not every restaurant can fit everyone, but here you can bring 100 people — yes, you'll occupy half the road, so what! The funniest thing is that such outings don't stop even in winter: dress a bit warmer and go ahead. Do you have interesting habits for free time or meetings with friends? #emigrant_happiness #work
