Kultur 8- Callie Chappell

Die Kultur texts diese Woche war sehr interessant. Normalweise, sind sie nicht so verbunden (related) zu die Vokabeln. Ich denke Draftophobia war richtig. Deutscher nie die Fensters geschlossen. I have been in a hot car with all of the windows up, in situations where opening a window would have been perfectly fine! Über Germany's Sauna Obsession, bin ich nicht überrascht. Nach Hause, habe ich ein grosses Sauna und sie sind sehr cool! (Oder heiss....) From my American perspective, I think the fact that they are unisex is a bit odd, but then again, this is Germany.. home of nude beaches and sex stores galore.... 

Finally, Mysterious Illness in Germany. I thought this article was the most interesting. Meine Familie glauben in "alternative medicine" so ich bin nicht so überrascht. Sometimes, I think people think too little of their immune systems. Even though Germans complain about having seemingly improbable illnesses, perhaps that compels them to take better care of themselves, it may allow their immune systems time to return (naturally) to homeostasis, before larger symptoms develop.
