So after my first week spent immersed in the German culture, I think I have been able to acquire an idea of the true German lifestyle. I have noticed a vast number of differences in culture and several similarites as well. I thought about giving a few things I miss about America and I love about Germany that I wish America had, but rather I decided to turn this post into a simpler, more broad list of what I love and what I don't so much love about Deutschland. Und jetzt beginnt Pros & Cons...
Pros:
Public Transportation, Legal drinking age of 16, Strong national passion for Fußball, Amazing food often for cheap, Amazing chocolate, Language and cool symbols(üöäß), Beautiful architecture, Nearly a millinium of history, Shorter school day, Many more holiday breaks, Sun sets at 10:00pm, Easy to travel throughout the European Union, the highways in some places have no speed limits, The metric system, Their currency (they have coins for the €1 and €2)
Cons:
No free water... ever, Free refills, Have to pay for public restrooms, Sun rises at 4:30am, Language barrier makes conversation difficult, Natives speak WAY TO FAST, Not much car driving, Germans don't appreciate Chacos, No sweet tea or Dr. Pepper, Everything is smaller here, No Taco Bell, City smells like sewer sometimes
Overall, Germany is incredible! I love the culture, the food, the architecture, the public transport, and all!!! I look forward to updating you further on the best trip of my life! Tschuß und bis Später!
