This week's Kultur readings compose of a wide range of topics, ranging from American food in Germany to the introductions of two of the most famous German cities -- Stuttgart and Munich. There are a couple of articles that particularly caught my attention.
The first one is titled "What Discipline? Of German lines and Pythons". It said that people would not necessarily follow a line in a lot of conditions, and would cut the line if you do not respond promptly. I am not sure whether the author of this article was being sarcastic or not, because it is fairly difficult for me to imagine that in a country like Germany where order is considered to be paramount such behaviors will be tolerated. It is very contradictory to the image that I had for German people. I guess the truth will only reveal itself when I set foot on Germany one day.
The other interesting reading materials come form the book "365 Dinge". It is in the format of a guide book, but it is different because of its concise descriptions and broad coverage of topics. Some of the things that I picked out from the first 70 things are: ,,Essen im Dunkeln: Nocti Vagus", ,,Mit dem 100-er Bus gefahren sein", ,,Kollhoff-Tower: Berlin von oben", ,,Zum Diplom von der Bierakademie" und ,,Zur Stille im Brandenburger Tor". I am looking forward to discovering more things to do in and around Berlin.
