I would have tons of "cases" to tell about Germany and the german people but I'll write about one of the things that bothers me more: the german weather (and the relationship of the germans with it).
Well, we "latins" normally open the window when it's warm and sunny outside (to bring some good vibrations to the place where we are) and close it when it's freezing, of course.
I got very scared once, at work, when I opened the window on a wonderful day and the colleagues almost died! They got very scared because the warm air would come into the office! How can this be?? How can it be that someone wants warm air inside a room? How? They couldn't believe that someone wanted to feel the good breeze coming from the outside instead of feeling the terrible smell of sweat people...
The other day was my time to get scared. It was a very cold day and they opened the window to make some "frische luft" come into the office.... I really HATE this "frische luft"!!! It's not fresh air, it's COLD air! Freezing air! It's also very normal to dress the babies with warm clothes on winter days and put them on the balcon to do the "mittagsschlaf" because like this they get "frische luft"... the only thing that they can get is a frozen hand, please!
Once I heard that 15°C is a very pleasant temperature and summer vacation at Ostsee is the best! You have 17°C almost every day and can even go to swim!!
Actually, I prefer to end my story here otherwise I'll get into a very very very bad mood.... (the good thing is that at this moment the sun is shinning!!!)

I agree with this one, the constant windows opening at work is a painful situation, especially because they never open the window near them... in winter.
ReplyDeleteIn summer I won't comment about the smell here, as I think it deserves his own post.
hahahaha that's true, it really deserves an own post!
