Hi Tyler, I am German and have only been in Ohio since last year. You can leave your Xbox here. Germany has 220 Volts, unless it is dual voltage of course, but then you will need an adapter for the plugs, as they are different. :-) Right now is still a good time to go. September still has wine fests going on, which are always a blast. German cities have Fussgaengerzonen "walkplatz" as Americans call it, which is a car free zone in the inner city, which are usually hosting all the fests throughout the cities. The clubs are usually great! Oh and by the way, Germans know how to party. None of that 1 day crap they do here in the US...lol... Christmas is 3 days, Fasching in 3 days, Easter is 2 days, FAirs are usually 4 or 5 days, Winefests last 3 days, etc...End of Sep Monschau has a big Fair going on. Try to see Trier...my hometown...Oldest City in Germany. Lots of Roman ruins and great wine! :-) it is about 2 hours from Monschau. Yes there are speedlimits, however the autobahns have great stretches with no speed limits...watch out for this sign "end of all restrictions"...but try not to kill yourself! lol
