Comparing Germany and US

I have been googling all things German and I have found some interesting things, such as a youtube video of Snoop Dogg when he visited Amsterdam--very funny. Also some clipps from the German MTV of the Snoop Dogg's late 90's show called Doggiedizzle Telefizzle. My boyfriend, Craig had a bunch of German rock music, I've been listening to it in the car to work on pronunciation. He also has some rap, however, it sounds funny in German. Here are the links for anyone who wants them.

I found these two guys on youtube, they are very funny.
One guy is German and his friend is American and they post short videos on Germans Vs Americans. In the following link is to a video on German vs American drinks, apparently Germans mix alot of weird drinks together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxp2veCViTw&feature=related

This next one is them comparing voting in the US & Germany. It's interesting, germans can vote at 16 yrs old in local elections. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bhnwuweaek&feature=related

This next video is about German Vs American Patriotism and Military, apparently Germans view these subjects alot different than Americans. The German guy talks a little about the 'Required Military service also which I've always been curious about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APLrPJhf4JM

This video doesn't really compare the US and Germany but does give some interesting tidbits about the Eurail http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8mSInPKQ3I&feature=related
This one is really good/ It is about business hours in Germany. There are alot more videos by these guys on youtube if your interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUs9t8hlRu8&feature=related

The next clip is really interesting about seating and cinemas. Apparently Germans will sit with random strangers if there is not tables available, and there is assigned seating at the movies.

Das Brauchtümer

I've been looking up info on German traditions and other interesting tidbits about german life. A rather interesting German tradition involves shattering a large number of dishes before the wedding and having the bride and groom cleaned it up. It is believed that the action of cleaning up the mass collection of broken dishes, which the family and friends have worked so hard to make, will help prepare the couple for their new lives together. Germans wear wedding rings on the right hand - the groom and the bride have normally identical rings. I was really surprised when reading about "Osterfeuer" because I grew up around Fredricksburg, Tx and they still celebrate this german tradition, however, I never knew it was from Germany until now. Germany people celebrate the end of winter with another ancient tradition with clear pre-Christian roots: the lighting of “Osterfeuer” (big community bonfires) on the Saturday before Easter. I was reading another blog writen by a Brit living in Germany, she had many interesting observations about weird little cultural differences. First she pointed out how many Germans especially over the age of about 35 wear shoes at all times. Bare feet are considered dangerous to your health because you could catch a cold. Also she says you will hear “es zieht” (literally “it pulls”), which means all windows must be buttoned down and that dangerously fresh air must be kept where it belongs - outside. She also says it is very easy to call in to work. "Kreislauf" (poor circulation) is a common ailment apparently affecting people of all ages and requires at least a day off work. The blogger also says that when she sprained her ankle and received 2 weeks off work from her general practioner. It seems odd to me that companies tolerate people taking off for unneccessary ailments. Germans are also said to keep their work relationships seperate from their private lives. They rarely make friends with co-workers. This seems strange- some of my best friends I met at work.

Politik und Gesetz

Ich bin sehr interessant bei Deutsch Politik und Gesetz. Viele von ihren Gesetzen sind ähnlich zu den USA, jedoch einige sind verschieden. Zum Beispiel wenn beschaffung einen Artikel von einem Einzel eine 6 Monat Garantie ist automatisch es sei denn explizit ausgeschlossen in einem Vertrag. Ein Mietgeschäft kontrakt für einen fest Begriff kann außer in äußersten Umständen nicht einschließlich Aufgabe oder Schule nicht beendigt werden. Deutsch Justizpalast haben Jurys nicht. Fälle bestimmen nur von ein Kollegialgericht. Dies Methode erscheint leicht verdorben. Justizpalast erlauben auch Staatsanwalt berufung ein Beurteilung nach. Dieses Verfahren erscheint ähnlich zu doppelbestrafung. Vergleichen sind diese Unterschiede sehr Aufreizung gedacht. Ich möchte dein gedanke erkennen.

Kennenlernen

Ich lebe in einem Haus in Manor, Texas mit meinem Freund. Ich bin 26 Jahre alt. Wir haben einen Hund. Er ist Riley heißen. Ich arbeite für eine gemeinnützig Organization kasterieren Klinik, EmanciPE+, als eine Tierarzttechniker. Ich studiere Ökonomie. Ich finde Ökonomie interessant, denn es auswirkungt jeder zusammen Aspekten über Leben. Arbeiten für EmanciPE + ich bin interessiert in Tier Wohlfahrt. In der USA Sterbehilfe ist noch unsere Hauptsächlich Lösung für Tierbestand aufgabe. Europäische Länder wie Deutschland hat umarmt sterilisiert und kastriert als ihr primäres Mittel das dieses Problem von der Lösung. In Deutschland Tieren sind in Zoogeschäft nicht verkauft. Sie sind nur durch Schutz verkauft und haben Züchter registriert, die Eigentümer zu casterate ihre Haustiere erfordern. Ich helfe momentan mit dem EmanciPE + bewusstsein Programm. Warum ich Sie machen werde, denken Sie, dass Deutsch und andere Europäer so weit vor uns betreffend Tierswohlfahrt sind?
