I wonder how Germany has changed? I was there as a teenager, during the cold war. I did not see the wall, but was surprised by the boarder. Talk about attitude changing for me. It was a high fence in most places. It had towers every 150' with armed guards in therm. The other side of the fence had land mines and the fence in places had automatic weapons that would go off if you touched the fence. I was with my exchange student brother Tom, who had lived with us years before. He told me about how two men accidentally went over the line in the middle of some body of water while canoeing. Both were shot, one killed. The other was taken prisoner for better than 10 years. He told other stories about it, but one is enough.
I've never been to Germany, but I think my father did, 3 decades ago, when he was on a European Trip before he will go to his main destination, which is Nigeria. But I think Germany right now changed a lot and people there are friendly and entertaining.
By now it is completely different. I can not find any difference between Germany and French (culture, speech and so on but nothing else)!
No way, the French are arrogant! The Germans are not. A lot has changed since the wall has fallen. The west and the east have united. There still are some cultural differences between the two regions, but all in all it has started to melt together.
I have been living here in Germany for around 20 years and have watched all of the changes pass before my eyes. I really have grown to love it here, but I find that it is getting to be a bit too busy for my likings. I can say that there is no better place to visit in Europe!!!
