I only can say that only a few Germans are racists. These are these people which have only a bad education and do not know very much. So they believe what their fathers und grandfathers tell them. Besides, we are have no problem with foreigners. We only have a problem when they come to Germany and do not work so that they live from our costs, from these taxes we pay.

Germany is a lovely country as far as scenary is concerned. It has many things that i like, but unfortunatly my experience with a many of its people is not positive. Because they are still racist on the whole. And intolerably arrogant.

When you go to the Wroclaw's city centre, you meet more British and German than Polish. Those clubbing are often impolite to the waiters, barmans... They visit Wroclaw to buy beer few times cheaper than it is in England/Germany and that's it. They're getting drunk and becoming agressive. I know because I've been working as a waiter during the summer holidays, and it wasn't fun.

 I live in Italy in a little town where often Germans spend their summer holidays (Riccione, do you know?). 
 Here Germans are known for their particular way to combine foods! Pizza and fruits, salad and milk.. for Italians it's very crazy! 
 I remember my german teacher at the secondary school.. she was so precise and rigorous.. but very just. Now my German is a little bit rusty! 
 This is the idea I have about Germans.. but if I think at Oktoberfest all is different! 
 I'd like to travel to Berlin.. next journey.. 
 tschuss!</description></item><item><title>Re: What do you know and think about Germany?</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutGermany/10/cmcl/Post.htm#390238</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:43:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:390238</guid><dc:creator>Floxflow</dc:creator><slash:comments>49</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatAboutGermany/10/cmcl/Post.htm#390238</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-390238.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>i've been to Berlin and i think that's just an amazin city! had a hotel on the kurfurstendamm and walked in the city all day, have seen a lot that week.</description></item></channel></rss>
