Attitude

Walking down the street in Berlin, you notice that Germany people do not stop to chit chat or say a friendly hello to you. It does not mean they are angry, they are much more reserved society and do not pretend they know you, so they don't bother you.

My host-mother with the very first day told me, "If Germans say something to you that seems offensive or and they seem rude, they are not trying to be rude and don't take it personal it is how we are."

This is a picture of my host- family. At first I felt like a stranger living with them. By the end of my stay, they were like my family.

This sounds like it would be awful to meet a Germany, but if you make the step to talk to them, they are very nice people. It will just not happen that they approach you first.
