I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time but I’ve never gotten around to it. I’ve been in Germany for one year now as of October 27. I’ve learned much about the way of the world.
One complaint that I have that I don’t think I will ever get over is that the German people do not know how to wait in a line. If you are waiting in line somewhere and you don’t pay attention people will just move in front of you. Last night I was at a bar and had been waiting for almost 5 minutes for one beer and this other guy just walked up beside me and acted like he had been there longer. I just don’t get it sometimes. Granted it was a bar, but this happens everywhere.
One thing I do like about Germany is things seem to be more relaxed at work here. There is a lot more vacation time. I for instance get 20 days. To which my girlfriend complains is not enough.
Overall I’m enjoying my time here so far. I miss home of course. I miss my family and sometimes I miss the technology we have in the US that isn’t either as good or non existent here. How much longer I’ll be here is indefinite.
