People
ask questions and that’s great. If you are unfamiliar with another
culture it’s even a really good thing, not to be shy and just ask.
Over the last past month I was asked a lot of questions and I was happy to answer all of them. Well, not really all of them.
Some
people don’t seem to think or maybe they just like to talk to people.
“BMWs are made in Germany, aren’t they?So so they just give them to you
for free than?” Sure...sure. They just give them away. For free. Go
away, think about it, and if you want to come back after, ask a real
question or just have a normal conversation with me.
I
think my favourite still is “Do you guys shower and brush your teeth in
germany?” I explained to the guy, that I had to learn all those things
when I first came her and that I got my very first haircut. The nice
thing was that he believed me at first, he made my day. People keep
asking weird questions, like that girl who I ate lunch with one day. “I
heard french people smell really bad. Is that true?” Sure. “Is it true
that you don’t have air fresheners it germany?” Where did that come
from?
One time a boy sat down next to me and
started explaining world war 2 and the holocaust. “Somebody told me,
that you’re not allowed to talk about it and I thought you should know
what happened in your country.” Oh wow...whoever told him I didn’t know
my own history...you’re wrong. You’re so wrong. Maybe you should shut
your mouth forever and join the kid that told me to “go back to
russia!”.
