So, lessons learned? Bring bigger sweets, with more eye-catching designs, including a clear call to action, and which are sugar-free and inedible.

Typical tech-guy reaction! xD

I think the obvious lesson is: Just grab any bag of sweets and go for a chat.

You say it yourself:

It can be a bit intimidating to go up to strangers and say "TALK TO ME". But saying "Hello! Would you care for a sweet?" is a socially acceptable ice-breaker.

The printing didn't matter.

Let me put this into perspective as an outsider:

``` I have been looking at starting a business and am a Dentist with lots of experience.

I also love learning about masonry and construction, but have never actually tried building anything.

Lately, I have been interested in buying things that are made locally. One construction item that I would like to invest in is a brick house; I did a lot of searching online, and this seems to be something that has a decent amount of demand.

There does seem to be a market opportunity for high-quality houses made locally.

My question is: as a dentist with zero experience building physical things, should I try building brick houses? I have plenty of space to set up a small operation and a little capital to get started. What are the pitfalls? Has anyone with a dental background moved into constructing physical items like this? ```

Don't expect your former job knowledge to be of much use for this endeavor.

This does not mean "Don't do it!" but rather "Be aware of the scope!".

Good luck!

"ÖPNV" (Öffentlicher PersonenNahVerkehr) is the German abbreviation for "public transport". And "Karte" <-> "map"

I argue that the former reason is an undercover version of the latter.

Apparently some things got stolen already the first night since apparently they did not guard the side properly. :/
