danger:It depends where you go to and what do you plan on doing so. (going in weird places at night.... you know what I mean)

You can go whereever you want to, Berlin and Munich are fine - in those cities are tourists very very common. Surely there are areas you wouldn't want to end up (as well as in every other city on the world, i.e. Chicago, Tokyo etc), but as a normal tourist everything will be fine! Don't panic!

And don't be afraid of going to Berlin or Eastern Germany! Yes, there are some issues about Eastern Germany, but you are not going to be beaten up because of looking Asian (... in really bad conincidences, referring to do dark areas with weird people this could be different).

Maybe you could say more specific, where you want to go -I could give advice, what is worth watching etc!

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. We (Germans) are quite used to tourists, wherever they are from, and, believe it or not, there are some German guys who are also "short", my brother in law, for one. On the other hand, I tease him a lot.... hmmmm... ;))
Don't worry. You'll have a good time!

My bf is asian-american, too (Vietnamese) and he was stationed in Germany for a few years. As far as I know asians are treated like anyone else. And yes, there are many Asians here, at least where I live (Dresden) there are a lot of Vietnamese people which used to come to work in the GDR and ended up staying here after the wall came down. If you're 5'6, you're quite tall for an asian, my bf is 5'2...the AVERAGE woman in Germany is about 5'4 or 5'5.

Many German people married woman from Taiwan and Thailand, so there are enough Germans with Asiatic features. And the Japanese people come frequently to visit the castles.

I am Mexican and I lived 7 years in Germany, so I can assure you, they are 1000 times nicer to me than USA citizens.

Of course there are teenagers and idiots every where, but they are not rude to tourists, or people who behave polite.

AND... do not confuse extreme honestly with discrimination, German people likes to give instructions about the right way to do something, and use very extreme adjectives: "it is stupid what you are doing, let me help you" But they only do it, if they want to be nice...

Yes, the famous "culture shock"

Do not forget to visit FÃ¼ssen (in Bavaria ), there is the famous castle Neuschwanstein ( which Walt Disney used as model ).

Duesseldorf has one of the largest populations of Japanese people outside of Japan. Lots of Asians are in Germany. They are treated like everyone else. I think you don't have to be afraid to visit our country. Berlin and Munich are big cities and have people from allover the world visiting.
I am sure you will enjoy your visit!

There are no problems in Western Germany .... in Hamburg, Duesseldorf and other cities there are many Asian neighbouhoods. Just avoid East germany and Berlin ... they are unfriendly over there.
