german observations - warning, sweeping generalisation alert

I call this place neverland, nobody here seems to age, everyone you meet is 30 and still studying. Whats even stranger is everyone looks so young like 19, I’ve decided it must be their vegetable diets. I think Neils suggested that its because everyone studies until they are 30 so noone has experienced any stress which is why everyone appears so youthful. Absolutely everybody is a student, the goal appears not to have letters after your name but paragraphs. I’ve met few people who dont have a masters and studying here seems to be far less expensive than in the UK. No wonder the tax rate is so high in Germany, no-one here is paying tax. I’ll probably lose 88% of my wages because im one of only five people in country paying tax, I’ve alot of people to support.

german oddities

Girl comes to our house party with carrier bag, inside our spoon, knife, fork and ladel. Apparently she doesnt like to use other peoples things. I thought this was pretty awesome so tried to talk to her about it she said “I dont like other peoples things” then “Actually I dont really like other people” then she walked off. Fantastic, welcome to the party I’m so glad you came. I nearly died laughing. She didnt seem to have a problem drinking other peoples beer though, which was strange

Buying a tram ticket, little boy walks up to me and chats away in german, I look blankly and give my foreigner face (hunched shoulders, wide grin, village idiot stylee) and he starts pointing at a leaflet which is on top of the machine out of his reach. I pick it up and hand it to him, he rips it up in front of me then walks off.

I love this place, its non-stop entertainment.
