Hi, i'm Laia. I've been to Germany when i was a little child, but i can't remember many things from there. Althought i know i had a good time. I don't like frankfurts but i remember, for example, i was in a little town in a market, i ate ''Bratwurst'' and there were delicious. I also think German people like too much drinking beer, but i also think it's a topic, because not everyone has to like it. In that video they don't talk too much about traditions, they talk about a website called meet-the-germans where you can find information. So i visited this web and i discovered some things.
Germans have enthusiasm for summer barbecues and model railway sets. There also say that is possibly typical school dances and a concern for good etiquette. As Naila comment, there's also the Oktoberfest, that consist in drinking beer, but it was originally a horse-race. I found an opinion from how Bavarian people drink(i find it quite strange but anyway i put it here):
1.At the Oktoberfest at least, beer is a breakfast drink, more nutritious(claims the Bavarian) than muesli.
2.Faster than the Englishman, after the second drink, he feels the need to tell jokes to strangers.
3.The mood changes: he starts to complain about the Saupreiss"n (almost anybody north of Mainz) and the Sozis.
4.After the third litre the Bavarian becomes sentimental, feeling the urge to telephone his wife. Sometimes they argue, and he cries, alternating it with loud speeches praising the virtues of his wife.
5.It would be good to go home but he feels... sooo sleepy
There are also different dialects in Germany, as Bavarian, Saxon and Berlinish.
It's also a topic that German males are cars fanatics.
It also exist the “Bildungsbürger” that it's like the “middle class intellectual”. You can find them everywhere. In the theatre, mid-week, when no Englishman leaves his television set, you can hear serious analysis during the break. Because the German is not ashamed to be serious. And because theatres and opera houses are so well organised that you have time to talk, rather than fight for a glass of wine and a bretzel.
In that blog there are more things, but i'm not going to put all here.
I really want to know how Bavarians are, they traditions and behavior. And i also expected to have fun, meet people and discover new things.
Thanks,
