Mmmmmh, hot Iron. But, let�s start with the extremes: |
|
|
|

Americans think all Germans are blond, blue eyed, wear Lederhosen, Dirndl and drink Beer around the clock starting before Breakfast. Somebody started a rumor, I keep running in, that German Beer is warm. The country is full of castles and the Autobahn goes only from North to South and Speeding is a way of life. The German craftsmanship is the finest in the world and every German is working a lot, has a more diversified and better education and is very clean and proper. Altogether it sounds pretty boring. |

Germans think all Americans are having a charming na�vet� and are too openhearted while traveling abroad. They have a John Wayne-Cowboy mentality at home and wear Cowboy hats (I wish�), they are uncultured with no cuisine or culinary sense. Most of them think Ballet is a Ballgame. They can�t handle Alcohol (especially on wine fests) and watch too much TV. Some are very crazy as having Children pageants (where they torture kids who should play in the mud), treating their dogs like children (including clothes, sunglasses, beauty parlors) and children like dogs. They all think that all countries besides the U.S. belong to the 3rd World and they have no idea what�s going on beyond their borders. |
