About Hamburg
Hamburg, officially the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin and seventh-largest city in the European Union, with a population of over 1.9 million. The Hamburg Metropolitan Region has a population of over 5.1 million and is the tenth-largest metropolitan region by GDP in the European Union. At the southern tip of the Jutland Peninsula, Hamburg stands on the branching River Elbe at the head of a 110 km (68 mi) estuary to the North Sea, at the confluence of the Alster and Bille. Hamburg is one of Germany's three city-states alongside Berlin and Bremen, and is surrounded by Schleswig-Holstein to the north and Lower Saxony to the south. The Port of Hamburg is Germany's largest and Europe's third-largest, after Rotterdam and Antwerp. The local dialect is a variant of Low Saxon.

In Japan, there's a snail called the satsuma snail, and there are a lot more left spiraling snails than right spiraling snails there because they have a predator, which is a snake that likes to eat them, and it has real difficulty latching on and biting down on snails with left spiraled shells for some reason, so they flourish. That is such a good example of natural selection. Do you hear the story of, in New Zealand, they have giant snails that can grow the size of Hamburg? It's called the Poella Fanta.
