Now I'm starting to understand....
hozzászóló: Rubén Nose itt Németország fórum
This month makes my first year in Germany.
When I first arrive here I was kinda confused about people here. On that time I was living on a company's flat in a very well considered area here, and I remember it so clearly.... one day coming out from my place on my way to work, one old lady got really angry and upset at me because I was never saying hello to her (on that time I was a bit confused because nobody seemed to reply to me when I said that). Later on it turned out to be a cool lady, and our relation was good.
The truth is that things in my company are pretty good. I always said that it was a hole, like in a donut, where the exception confirms the rule.. And I remember one day, a conversation with my boss (he is awesome!) and ended up in asking to me "I think Germans are very friendly to foreigners here, is it?", and I remember so well the "is, it?".... It can't stop rumbling in my head.
That is when I started understanding what is going on....
Here there are two kind of people. The very much unfriendly and rude people, and the opposite, extremist side of faked friendship (I don't have any problem with being faked, actually that is modals and kind of what you can expect from the other).
For me seems like if the team of nice people knows about the team of rude people and some how they want to fix the problem by being extremist.But the truth is that living here is a pain... It's the small things on a day to day routine, what pisses you off.... What it would be a minor problem in my country, here it turns out to be a big problem.
The thing is that you start getting used to, and it's not surprising receiving a rude answer, it's basically what you can expect here.... The upside is that a very small and unexpected thing can make your day
And I better stop here because I have many many stories that I can tell.... And only very very few good things to tell about German people. I have been living in Ireland for a year, and it was absolutely the other way.
Being nice it's not only a smile, it's also strive in your interactions with guests and unknown people, because eventually they will not be unknown anymore.... Life is already hard by itself, why to make it worse?
