SO it seems many of my peers would like to know what it is like to be around Germans for so long. Many ask if they are aggressive or impulsive. I can assure you they are nothing of the sort. The one thing I learned from being in Germany for so long, is that you must initiate conversation, when you are in a public setting. They will make faces like a normal head nod, or a wave of the hand, but if you want a good conversation you more than likely will make the first move. I’m not sure if they are reserved or just mind their own business, but they are nonetheless one of my favorite people to converse with. In my experience, when I ask them “how is your day?”, or “how are you doing?”, they are going to truly answer with real input. I’ve had many conversations with Germans and even foreigners who have lived in Germany for some time and they all give me great conversation. This picture I’m using as the feature photo shows beautiful the day-life is in Frankfurt Germany. There are many bridges in Frankfurt, and there is one in particular that the people use to place their locks on. You are suppose to get a lock and write the name of you and your lover and then commence locking it on the railing of the bridge. I thought it was really cute, not something I would to show my love for someone, but it does give the bridge a lot of character. There are many different colors, shapes, and sizes. I think the locks hold a story of the lovers that placed their locks there. The daily life in Frankfurt is very busy. There are always people using the Bus and train system. There are more people on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday because there is a Market on those days. The markets have many different assortments of fruits and veggies, sometimes flowers. They also have sandwiches and soup shops. If you come to Frankfurt you will be sure to have a great time with the cuisine and the people here are more than welcoming in their mannerisms. I will post next time on the night life. Stay tuned !!!

“One thing I learned from being in Germany for so long, is that you must initiate conversation,” …”when you are in a public setting.”
This sentence is true down to the very comma! The public and private spheres are very different (as in lots of places). It’s cool that you’re putting your best for forward in all these spaces!
