🇩🇪 Germany
1. anywhere with beautiful nature, old towns or scenic places or very avant-garde stylish architecture. I live in Munich, come from Fürth, love the North Sea & woods.
2. both. I try to get out of the country once a year, but I made it out of Europe only twice so far (Canada & 🇭🇰Hong Kong/ Beijing 🇨🇳). This year I was at Sylt, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Augsburg, Zadar 🇭🇷 and I have tickets for BTS in Amsterdam!
3. yes
4. specific - then potatoes and also any kind of meat. Famous for Bavaria is Weißwurst, famous for my home is Karpfen (fish)
5. „Wenn das Liebe ist“ by Glashaus
6. i don’t like a lot of Songs in my native language, but if I do then it’s mostly available in the top 100 single charts. I don’t like German ghetto rap though...
7. oh dear, never thought about it much. But I can say that the more you actively speak a German word out loud the weirder it sounds and the more you realize what it is you are saying. I love English onomatopoeia though, and probably need context in German words to like it. I might like the word „Eltern“
8. yes, by customers mostly or people that try to flirt with me.. confuse me with Arab / Greek / because of my hair, eyes or features - I don’t know..
9. i would love to visit Ireland 🇮🇪 again and also Sweden 🇸🇪 and Norway 🇳🇴. I‘ve been there, but AGAIN!! Also Latvia, Spain & Greece and the Atlantic coast. And again a certain Hotel in Neuchatel Switzerland..
10. Most enjoyable - 🤔 „oi“ - I use it for a lot of things. It‘s not exactly a word, more like a sound. I use it when sth getting on my nerves or to make s.o. Realize that they just did sth weird or wrong. I try not to swear 🙄
11. of course my Dad :-) otherwise I like poet Paul Celan and pieces that have a good sound
12. i usually like English better
13. i don’t think so 😳
14. yes
15. it must be „Dinner for one“
16. Germany = Bavarian stereotypes. Not true, that’s just Munich during Oktoberfest or the south Bavarian countryside. I hate all stereotypes, not just about countries, but about people and races or individuals.
Get to know each other first or get out of your comfort zone before agreeing with stereotypes. Though most stereotypes have a true reasoning/ base, it is never for the general public but more for certain people that shouldn’t represent a whole country..
17. of course! Sometimes more sometimes less.
18. no, but I get easily attached to dialects.
19. yes and no. I like the Bavarian anthem more than the German but I like both flags.
20. Soccer ⚽️?
21. VW beetle and a small thatched cottage from Föhr
22. proud: our economic stability, the fact that we can feel safe in our country and the fact that anyone can study for free. School system. Our chancellorette
Ashamed: history, bureaucracy, fear of change and stagnant politics. Social discrepancies. People who are not openminded / live in the past
23. beer 🍻
24. the USA 🇺🇸, Austria 🇦🇹, Great Britain 🇬🇧, France 🇫🇷 and Greece 🇬🇷
25. Sure, in order to speak a different language fluently 😉
26. yes. Mostly war themes, stern, dumb / rough types and techno music parties.. I don’t like it much, that’s so 90ies.. we did portray ourselves that way back then too.
27. our chancellor/ our Bavarian president / Stefan Raab/ Romy Schneider / Karl Lagergeld / Claus Kleber / no one really
28. Yes, no favorites. Like them all.
29. city Munich no. City Fürth yes with Nürnberg . State of Bavaria yes with Berlin / Preußen.
30. no
