In Munich, we would kill you (correction: we will kill you) for saying "Tschüß". This word is typical for the northern/western part of Germany. In the south (Munich/Bavaria), we say "Servus!" to our friends both for greeting and good-bying. Yes, the latin word for slave. Blame us for that.

Saying "Tschüß" (ß = "ss") here is a little bit like confusing Quebec and Vancouver. Or like confusing France and Franco-Canada, for that matter. ;-)

As you may know, the relation between Munich/Bavaria and the rest of Germany is very much like the relation between Texas and the rest of the US. At least some of us in Bavaria like to behave like (rich? no!) Texans. Yeeeeeeee-haa! Exclude me from those. Maybe "no way" wants to comment on this (aber dann mußt Du auch sagen, woher in DE Du bist, um bei dem doofen Spiel Bayern gegen den Rest mitzumachen).

No offense against Texans, that is.

Again, many thanks. "OK, you have a great day!" In Munich, it's the evening of a warm late-summer day now.
