gleebster posted:Everyone knows Germans are the Badgers of Europe. The pure joy of digging is in their hearts. Can confirm, my last vacation was in Germany staying with some friends there. It was a couple and the husband was absolutely, sincerely obsessed with shovels. He has a collection in his shed, we stopped at the largest open pit mine in Europe as part of a day trip just to watch the bucket shovels. He has a planned trip to the states that includes a stop at shovel museum. Even his handle for his online gaming is shovel related. This is not to say that he wasn't interesting and well rounded in all other areas and a genuinely likable guy. But, drat I wish I cared about anything as much as this man cares about shovels.

Also his favourite superhero.

 This is fairly common on the Nurburgring when they open the track to the public. Below is an example of people who think they can drive, they can't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKVoWPKZcDs

Germans have a work ethic. I am super happy with that because something needs to counter everyone else's ethic.

I lived in Germany for a year when I studied abroad. Loved it. The culture of rules is very much a thing. Off the top of my head: - Walking home with a (german) buddy after a night out. We stop at an intersection. It's like 1:00 in the morning, dead quiet, and I can see like a kilometer in both directions that there are no cars coming. So I go ahead and start crossing the street despite not having the pedestrian walking signal from the light. He calls out to me "Dude what are you doing??" and gives me a look like I have a dick growing out my forehead for jaywalking. Berlin was probably my favorite city. Surprisingly cheap, artsy/bohemian vibes. Very multi-cultural, at least compared to the rest of Germany.

There's following the rules for the sake of societal harmony, and then there's standing at the red man like a loving lemon giving way to invisible cars.

The museums are so top notch there too.

Berlin was the first time I saw a Pho restaurant, and after ~10 months without, it was an absolute godsend. this was like a decade ago, no idea how it is now The museums are undoubtedly great, and that's not exclusive to Germany but in Europe in general. Speaking of which, Germans also have the stereotype that "Americans have no culture". Not going to get into that now though because it's late, and there's a lot to unpack.
