Quote: It seems that carbonated water is big in Germany (Europe?) so be careful when you order...ask for "still" water....
If you like Coke...BRING YOUR OWN. It is VERY expensive and it tastes different, too.
Otherwise, keep in mind that you aren't going to a third world country...they have everything we have. My buddy forgot some toothpaste...no problem at a gas station.
ATMs? Pull like 200-300 Euros out at once and you'll be good for a while. We pulled out 400 Euros and it lasted a good 5 days using the credit card where we could.
Switzerland is still on their own currency so keep that in mind (Swiss francs).
The toliet paper seemed fine to me...no reason to bring your own IMO.
Most of the hotels we stayed at had decent buffet breakfasts were you could stuff yourself silly if you wanted. Eat breakfast like a European: an open-faced sandwich with cheese and sliced meat!  | Bring your own coke??? Hey, I'm the biggest Diet Coke addict I know, but I'd never haul a 12 pack with me through airports and trains, etc. Jeez. Do as Beewang suggests, stop at Walmart in Munich and pick up some soda, still water, and snacks...I should have done that. btw, for those that don't know...Diet Coke is known as Coke Light in EU. I thought it tasted great...but damn its like pulling teeth to get much ice in your drink |

Even a supermarket or something should have it at a decent price. No, it won't be 99c, but it's only a ripoff at restaurants. And if you're drinking coke not beer at dinner you're insane in the membrane.

And don't start in with "diet coke for breakfast" because that's no less nasty than beer for breakfast.
Anyway, buy the soda at a supermarket/walmart. Drink beer at meals. And if you don't want alcohol, do as the europeans and drink bottled water. It won't kill you to do that for a week.
