Germany's many fleamarkets can make for a fun Saturday outing. Photo (cc) flickr user RobW_

I love flea markets.  I love being able to find things I need used and, usually, dirt cheap.  Flea markets are a great place to find interesting German tidbits to send back to my friends in the States, and they are a fascinating way to get to know the material insides of people’s lives.  Plus they are a great excuse to get outside for an early Saturday morning walk.
