@@leac.s.2334 Germans (as a stereotype) try to do justice to each and everyone. This makes laws and paperwork ever more complicated.

This, together with a sense for order which is genetically encoded (one might think) results in a society that generally matches its clichés.

If you are planning a surprise party for someone you have to convince them to come out with you for a quiet drink to a venue where the surprise party is when they are feeling down about not many people remembering their birthday. Like in the film Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging when the protagonist has her fifteenth birthday. Her mother wakes her up in the morning and tells her that for her birthday treat they would be going to a night club. Just the two of them knowing that her friends will attend the birthday party of her love rival in another night club. Someone she always hated and it was even worse when the love rival started dating her crush. Then the protagonist gets to the nightclub to find there is a surprise party for her and hardly anyone is at the other birthday party. Plus they can be used to upset other plans the receiver might have. Deliberately or unintentionally.

About the monitor on the car. I still don’t recommend doing this in Germany leaving your stuff unattended in public. Because I encountered many occasions where the stuff I left/forgot in public wasn’t there anymore when I came back to look for it. Turns out every single time it wasn’t stolen, but somebody took my stuff to the Fundbüros😂 (a place where „lost“ stuff is gathered and you can go there and get it back for free). In fact once when I was little somebody took my schoolbackpack and returned it to the school(bc the books had my school name including my name) and alas, my name was called out through the speakers throughout the whole school to get my backpack back.

Z.B.: Warum unterstützt Deutschland andere Länder mit kürzerer Lebensarbeitszeit? Warum bekommen ich in Österreich, bei gleichen Einzahlungen in die Rentenkasse, deutlich mehr Rente? Warum ist unser Schulsystem dem Finnischen so weit hinterher? Siehe Pisa-Tests. Warum sind Schulgebäude teilweise in so einem desolaten Zustand? Warum wurden keine Filteranlagen, gegen Covid und möglicher weiterer Pandemien, in die Schulen eingebaut? Ist die Gesundheit unserer Kinder in ganz Deutschland nicht eine Milliarde Euro wert? Warum sind unsere Straßen so schlecht? Das gabs ja in den 80er Jahren auch nicht. Warum wird die Steuerlast immer höher und es kommt, zumindest gefühlt, immer weniger beim Bürger an? Seit den 80er Jahren hetzt eine Gesundheitsreform die nächste. Ist da etwas besser geworden? Haben sich die miserablen Einkünfte des Alten-und Pflegepersonals verbessert? Eindeutig NEIN! Der Applaus während der Hochzeiten von Covid war der einzige Bonus. Der macht aber nicht satt. Die Situation der Bundewehr kann man noch erwähnen, wie konnte es dazu kommen? Bei unseren Politikern wird es Jahre, eher Jahrzehnte dauern bis die Bundeswehr wieder für einen adäquaten Schutz Deutschlands imstande sein wird. Diese Liste könnte man auch noch beliebig fortführen. Politiker, der einzige Beruf in dem man von nichts eine Ahnung haben muss.

When I came to Germany I was already, independent, punctual and organized. I was happy for finding at last a place that suits me. The thing is that I have Latin blood inside and I was used to connect with people easier and to make friends everywhere. Here I feel myself isolated. Lucky thing is that I am more introverted than extroverted but still I miss the ease of connecting with people. I think that would have been another story if I came here as a student, as a younger person. I find that Germans live in very close circles in which you as foreigner don't come in.

Bravo, Mr. Brit! Of all the questions on all the blogs with man-on-the-street interviews, this one has to be one of the most THOUGHT PROVOKING ever. Not just the info coming from the speakers, but the written comments flooding in. It will take days to read them all. Trying to explain Germany and its people to the outside world is no easy task. They may speak a common language, but I suspect the cultural differences between regions are significant. Also the differences between rural and urban, and between social classes. The country is also undergoing enormous social change due to immigration. If someone had told me 20 years ago that Germany would become the most multi-ethnic, multi-racial country in Europe, I would not have believed it. The people you interviewed seem to confirm this: from EVERY continent! Something special must be going on there. German is not an easy language to learn, and not exactly an international language. Yet, that doesn't seem to be a barrier for newcomers who have sought that destination and adapted to it. Something else noticeably different about this blog; not many Germans have posted comments. Comments are streaming in from the international community. When I look at a similar blog from Holland directed at anglophones, 90% of the written reponses come from Dutch people. They are very concerned how the outside world perceives them. That applies to many countries. Could it be that Germans are not so self-conscious as other nationalities? As a sociologist, I encourage you to keep up the good work, keep asking good questions. It is all very enlightening. Thanks!

In Turkey small talk is important.The lady next to you in a bus/train/metro/plane will start talking to you. The person waiting next to you in bank/hospital will talk to you. Your taxidriver,your barber,your coworkers will talk to you. you can sit on a public bench and can start talking the random person who sit beside you. Weddings are a huge thing in Turkey for example their size are incredibly big like 200-1000 people (sometimes bigger) comes you can totally find a new person to talk. Sociality is a very important in our culture along with hospitality.

@liliencron Big cities are especially places with a lot of tourists dont do that much. But I lived in Bursa for 4 years and I had many random talks with strangers,in the busses ,waiting in hospital and bank. It also effected by how approachable you look of course. I am a very approachable person so 7-70 everyone wants to start and talking after half of an hour of talk they ask my number or tell me their family,health problems. In my city Kütahya I cant wait any line without a random person starts to talk. I dont like it sometimes but it is mostly enjoyable.

I am anglophone in Canada, and I got used to the variety of accents from the UK by watching Coronation Street when it was beamed overseas. It took time. Sometimes, I still need written captions on screen to fully understand the dialogue. For me, the most baffling UK lingo is 1)the slang spoken by teenagers (as happens in all countries) and 2) the dialects that drop consonants, like the Rs, but especially the missing T's: words like 'bottle', 'little', and even 'what', become incomprehensible.

I'm German, live in Berlin, and I know quite a lot of foreigners due to taking part in meetups - a thing almost no German knows about. I feel like they live a completely life to Germans. The two groups don't really mix. Most expats don't work normal office jobs, they work in startups or it. Germans work in shops, they work as carpenters, they work for the state or in normal boring offices. You don't really meet the other group. So I'd say that all these answers from these expats are independent of them being here in Germany. They are just away from home and forced to grow up and become independent because they're far from their social security net. I would bet that 90% of these answers are the same with any expat group around the world.
@thirstwithoutborders995
@thirstwithoutborders995 Рік тому
True, a lot of the answers were any expat experience. Though some could also be the opposite, i.e. embrace the chaos vs. embrace the organization. I feel like sometimes you just fit better in one culture or another, as a personality. I grew up in Asia, as an Austrian, and when I came back I struggled with making friends, fitting in with the culture and finding my place, even though I look and sound Austrian 100%. Strangers actually asked me if one of my parents was a foreigner, because it was so awkward. Nowadays people don't ask, but I tend to hang with the immigrant/expat crowd, rather than with carpenter/government office crowd.

As a German living in a small town with 50000 inhabitants, I must say that I have the complete opposite experience. Regardless of profession and lifestyle, Germans and foreigners get to know each other here. That's because we are together in kindergarten, at school and at work. On the other hand, having lived in Berlin in the past, I can confirm your statement from my own experience. Nevertheless, it is not typical for Germany that people stick together in isolated subcultures. That's simply how people lead their lives in the big cities - not only in Germany, but all over the world. When you live among millions of others, you do have to actively ignore 99.9% of your fellow human beings just to stay sane. The life in a smaller community allows you to see, know and like so many of your neighbors that one would simply have ignored in the big city.

@Mark Thank you for trying to help me improve my English skills. I am aware that the terms you prefer are common in the US. However, since they are sloppy, inaccurate, and presumptuous, I'm afraid I must reject their use in the form suggested. Calling a country "America" is sloppy at least when the "United States of" part is omitted. For the same reason, there is no nationality that is accurately called "American." To appropriate the term "America" for the United States alone is clearly presumptuous. I am inclined to accept "The Americas" to some degree. However, it would be more accurate to say "America" and omit the addition of "North/South" when referring to the double continent. I understand that this is to avoid perceived ambiguity. However, since I object to the chauvinistic use of "America" when really the "US of America" is meant, there is no ambiguity at all. Since there are 49 (I think) countries in America, and English is spoken with one accent or another in presumably all of them, it gives the reader additional information about which part of America the accent is presumed to belong to than the mere use of "American." Anyway, writing "USAmerican" is a conscious and well-reasoned decision. Nevertheless, I appreciate your efforts to help me improve my English skills. Please do it again whenever you see fit!

Germany is not just Germany. A lot depends on where you live in Germany and in which social circles you move. Whether in the south (west), in the middle or in the east. The environment and the people there shape you much more than anything else. For example, the Germans themselves say that it is much easier to make new friends in the East than in the South. The people there are simply more open, speak their own thoughts directly. Without detours, even if it might hurt you at first. You can tell that just by phoning East Germans. And I say that myself as a West German. On the other hand, you also have to be able to deal with the relaxed manner. Whether business or private.
