You're German? You have a 'de' extension to your email.
my opinion:
germans are more straightforward, quite hardworking, quiet sort.
But they love their beer, sausage and suarkraut. germans are always
associated with technology and cars. A very technology orient race,
where you seek performance, perfection and engineering. The
language itself like Japanese is more geared towards science,
precision, maths and technology vs French/Spanis where they talk
predominantly about emotions. Or the hollanders who just piss me
all the time. Famous brands from germany: Mercs, BMWs, Audi
etc.
But germans love their natural world and enjoys their natural
parks, forest and etc. Somehow the germans have managed to keep
their old traditions like the funny clothes the farmers still wear.
Or the beer gartens, or the funny things like sitting on a bench
and pouring beer on pants and see the beer freezes and stick the
pants to the bench. Germans do have fun and oh, octoberfest is
coming.
All people are a bit racist, but I believe due to the history, the
germans are more aware and sensitive toward overt displays of
dislike for other races whereas there is outright snarling from
austrian, french or even the stiff english at times. Anyways, there
are some close values system between the germans and chinese
although, its not very obvious. Such as the views on family.
But every place, state, town or even village, the people will be
different . Its just a generalization ... Don't take it too
hard.
So what do you think of Easter people?
