I have to chime in on this as well:

I am a native German still living in Germany, however, mostly exactly due to the points mentioned in this post, I’m prepared to leave as soon as it appears feasible.

What took me to this post was a Google Search for “Why do Germans hate fresh air?”!

I’m in a restaurant, which has lots of beautiful tables outside at the riverside. It’s 20C outside and hardly any clouds visible. That’s already TOP NOTCH weather for Germany!

Now I already saw that ALL tables outside were empty so I was a bit confused. Walked inside and asked “Okay to take a seat outside?”

They looked strangely at me, mumbled something to one another and then finally “OKed” my extraterrestrial wish.

Also funny: there were a few kids playing outside. Each time they went in or out, their dad instructed them to definitely close the door after the act!

Open Close Open Close Open Close — be sure not to let ANY of that evil fresh air inside!

The meal replacement Raspberry Ketones shakes. Choose healthy foods like fruits and fresh vegetables as the
main cause of rampant weight gain is not completely true, though.

I’ve been exploring for a little bit for any high-quality articles or weblog posts on this sort of area . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this website. Studying this information So i’m satisfied to show
that I have a very just right uncanny feeling I discovered exactly what I needed.
I most certainly will make certain to do not overlook this
site and provides it a look regularly.

What about the German sense of humour? It’s pretty countrified and unsubtle. They don’t get sarcasm either, prefer slapstick stuff.

How wonderful. And how courageous, given the prevailing attitude towards homosexuality in that part of the world.

Celebrate love in all forms!

Thinking about it there are lots of rules here…it’s just that nobody really follows them. Besides, if it weren’t for all those rules it’d be much harder for people to be the beloved oddball, german self identification of choice. The one with “bitte” and “danke” is really confusing. I’m native (raised bilingual though) and I don’t get that either. Strangely even I make some mistakes there and get stared at by saleswoman. To the question “du willst also nicht, dass…” both yes and no end up meaning NO. You’ll have to say “doch, dass will ich SCHON”…weird.
Open windows really aren’t very popular around here..but hey, IT’S COLD!
And we could catch a cold, couldn’t we?!
But there are always tough, healthy people that walk around barefoot, EVEN in winter and tear up every window on their way. And those that go to work with a flu… -.-
Not everybody here always says what they think. Maybe it’s less frowned on, kinda like a pact: You can insult me, and I can insult you We just don’t take comments so seriously. Coming from another country you might be quick to think that all germans are asses, but they don’t mean any harm.
Hot lunch: Not necessarily, I know plenty of people that actually have yogurt for lunch…In school we always have a warm lunch, just so disgusting that I really can’t eat it…but there’s cold food like sandwiches too, it’s just about how you like it best!
What I think is strangest about gemany, is that if you say anything critical about another goverment you are and outlaw. (“I don’t think we should have to pay so much money to other european countrys, just to have them call us nazis!” – Racist! What’s your problem?!) Ever since WW2 german people think they need to be super friendly and accept all immigrants to show how over it they are…
Well, sometimes living here is strange, but overall not worse than anyplace else
