Our international department held this cultural workshop.
That's what what was written in the introductory email.When we came there, one woman was sitting on the floor. Do you remember the 70's children of flowers? Well that is exactly how she looked. Long hair, long skirt, no make up.
We started the usual way, telling names and countries. And then it started, she was asking us questions like: Where would you like to go, where have you already been, how many siblings do you have, religion, politics......
I didn't even paid any attention in the end because she was speaking so fast. When I looked at the finish guys, they had the dreamy faces, I just knew,they didn't know what was going on.
Another task was to write some stereotypes about Germany and Germans. I was in a group with half of the finish people, of course, with whom else;). We came up with some interesting ideas, for example, that Germany is famous for Claudia Schiffer and Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil. /And yes, we presented the Schnappi thing loudly for everybody to hear:)))), and it came out that not really that much people know the poor crocodile:)/.
The hippie lady told us, Germany isn't a nice country to live, that the people do not like foreigners, aren't precise at all and drink too much. And yes actually she was German.
But in the end the most important answer to the last question/what do you like the most about Germany/ was given by my friend: "Well. I really really like the handsome German guys."
What else is to say to this, maybe only: "Me too:)."
