Born in Australia but raised in Hong Kong. I'm from an Asian background, not religious. So mixing those together will be about it.
Then I don't think you will have much problems.
Germans are very direct and come over as rude very easily. So don't worry if the seller in the bakery is rude to you, it has nothing to do with you.
Germans like their private space, so try to not invade those. Look around you before you stop somewhere on the street and don't stand in the way. Don't play music from you mobile. Don't put your feet on seats in public transport etc. Try to speak rather quietly, I guess it is not a thing in Hong Kong, but US Americans for example are viewed as loud here.
If you don't comply with these things, very likely nothing will happen, but you will get the evil German stare and they will breath significantly louder.
So in summary, try to be a normal human being who cares for your surrounding and then you'll be fine. Germany is a pretty liberal space, even in Bavaria if you are in big cities like Munich.
Hope you have a lot of fun!
I would add: Don't do phone calls with loudspeaker on
Alright. If someone says "amis" they think you are an american. You can tell them you are an aussie, they might either not care or be cheering. Aussies have a very good reputation (due to their legendary drinking culture) in bavaria
