the wrold is a beautiful place

Firts of all, I fail to understand how these conversations about nationalism and US versus Germany are helpfull to soemone who JUST LANDED In Germnay (or any other place for that matter, but I ll stick to the topic)
originally Greek but lived in US for 3 years and now I just landed in germany.
US was great, made tons of friends americans and not. was treated impeccably, excellent hosts and learned to love NY as much as the tiny little town I was living in.

Now in germany, I was expecting the first few months (at least few days) to be difficult (no friends. don t speak the language yet etc etc)
guess what. smooth transition as hell. even ended up in an all-german party ,met people and talked. danced and had a great time.
and i find germany really pretty. the houses the landscape, the cafes ....and sorry, but Berlin has probably some of the best new designers in clothes. people do know how to dress, take it from someone who learned to appreciate casual US dressing as much.Now if you came to germany expecting to find warm sunny weather...then what can I say except call you ingorant myself.

so I guess to all of you out there

what you give is what you get

you only see nationalism cause probably that s what is in YOUR head and not the Germans.
you only see ignorant americans cause that is where you choose to look

sorry but you are missing out. such a pitty
