In Heidelberg, the Kurpfalzisch (central Franconian or Palatine) dialect of German is spoken. But, broadly in the bundesland (state) of Baden-Wurttemberg which Heidelberg is a part of, there are two main German dialect groups: Schwäbisch (Swabian) in the central and east and Badisch (Alemannic) in the west and south in addition to Kurpfalzisch in the north.
The currency of Germany is the euro. 1 euro is equal to $ 1.18.
On average, a bottle of water costs 3.50 euros.
I celebrated a good friend's birthday on Friday, and I loved having some pizza with spinach and other vegetable toppings as well as a homenade chocolate cake topped with Lindt candies and chocolate wafers. Yum!
