Germany

Hello everybody! My post is going to be about Germany. I am excited to tell you some interesting things about Germany. I love this country. I have been there many times. I went to Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Rust, Konstanz, etc...

Germany consists of 16 constituent states (like the "comunidades autonomas" in Spain) and its capital and largest city is Berlin. It is the most populous member state in the European Union with more than 80 million inhabitants. It has only one official language which is German. German is quiet difficult to learn but it is similar to English.

If you travel to Germany there are some places that you should visit:

Berlin

 
      

Berlins most popular building is the Brandenburger Tor,
 which you can see above. The symbol of Berlin is the bear.
In 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic began to build a wall between East and West Berlin. It was built to keep Western “fascists” from entering East Germany and undermining the socialist state. The people could not pass anymore, so they lost their family and friends on the other side of the wall until it fell in 1989.

 Hamburg

 Hamburg is Germanys second largest city and the port of Hamburg, on the river Elbe, is the second largest port in Europe.

Typical things of Germany

 Oktoberfest:
 It is a typical party celebrated in October. The people there drink a lot of beer, dance and listen to German music. It looks like this:





Football:
Germany is the actual World Champion. Its most popular football club is Bayern München.

 

German people seem sometimes a bit serious or unfriendly. I think that is just because their culture is different. When they speak, it sounds like shouting. When they walk around, they don't smile.

They almost never go out for a meal with friends. Why? Because it is often very cold and it rains. In addition, they are working a lot so they don't have time for something like that. The great difference between Spanish and German people is that Spanish people work to live and German people live to work.

German Stereorypes:

 We think German people are tall, blond, serious, wealthy, arrogant, unfriendly and that they always wear white socks in sandals. Many People have a bad image of Germany because of the second world war, so they see them as Nazis or communists.

I hope you liked my post about Germany.
