The existence of a country called Germany is in the English Media often ignored (it must be some form of Nachkriegsra disease;? Or perhaps it is the fear that they would return her royal house). The elections yesterday but could still not be completely disregarded. While I try then to reopen the already repeatedly tarnished Skin care again, I hear Angela Merkel's 'sober she wanted no one' to party members facing sentence in the BBC news about: "No one is to remain sober" is. ("Miss Merkel said: 'no one should stay sober'"). I seem to not be the only one, the focus on Sunday night's hard ... Cosmetics and will run instead in my Head is now a chain of associations about cultural differences and potential misunderstandings from. The differences in food, clothing, communication, etc. from country to country are a source of constant fascination for me. It took a while until I understood that you never in England, never, never interfere unasked in a conversation. On the whole, speak up and express his opinion without being asked the height of discourtesy. Perhaps rates are therefore also like to end with a question - the conversation is kept running, and you prevent the other run over with his views. In the German communications, it seems, however often the 'Search go for the truth '- and these are views and opinions probably necessary and in demand.
But it's not only the differences between German and English communication and socialization. Lucy Wadham describes in her book 'The Secret Life of France', as it had suffered the first years in Paris from the fact that the French do not (at least not their English) understandable sense of humor and take everything more literally would.
also seems outwardly to give it quite a difference ... Why French women see eg always * from elegant English and why do any fashion with? **. And while 90% of women in American and French fashion blogs adamantly fight in high heels through life, women seem to Berlin (so far I know, unfortunately, only Berlin blog) comfortable flat soles are preferable.
still brooding over the cosmetic issue, I come to the conclusion that no matter whether Tucson, Toulouse or Tübingen - we all want to look (according to our social, cultural and ethical ideals) as attractive as possible. I am doing now end with the cultural generalizations and focus on the cosmetics. Coming this week - Guaranteed!
* knows Sure Every non-elegant Frenchwoman. All I can say is that there must be exceptions! (! And do not destroy my dreams)
** For this course I have a theory: The wearing of school uniforms make a uniform look socially acceptable, and prevents all sorts of 'fashion disaster' already in the youth are tried and left behind.
