What Color Goes With Brown Furniture

post-New Year Reflections German

started the year in style with one of my smart departures: Frankfurt am Main!

• Temperature: -15 °!
• airport-center distance: 200 km!
• hotel Location: Red Light District!!

fantozziana The conditions were all there for another adventure!
the end things have proved far less worse than expected: there are hibernating, we have survived a journey of 2 hours by bus with a party of Bergamo verbose and we stayed in a local Streap tease despite strange games of mirrors red lights in the room and bathroom.

From this experience I learned a lot about the Germanic customs of the place, but I carry at home Some existential questions.
First I realized that you do not need to scramble to learn German or English speaking as someone who speaks Italian, you'll find anywhere, in fact, as I warned a German-Turk-wise kebbabbaro Calabrese: Are you Italian? and speaks Italian!
Secondly I experienced on my skin the night of Dec. 31 in Frankfurt they stage a commemoration of the bombing of World War II a pop of firecrackers, miccette, flares, hand grenades and pistols with blanks (?). They do not spare even children and old and do not make prisoners!
Not least the fact that the Germans love the phony things: visit the birthplace of Goethe and after 20 rooms spread easily 4 floors you will find that it was completely destroyed during the war and the original there were only the first four steps of the stairs!
What left me more puzzled, though, are the German customs in a broad sense but also in the strict sense, but how do they tan that way? Among other things, as I pointed out my partner Lelly, we are not in Frankfurt to Tunis!! How is it possible that one of the most important European countries, advanced in so many areas is so absurdly back in the field of 'clothing (and not talking about fashion that seems too )????

After deep and endless ruminations I understand that in Germany the time has stopped the '90s: it is evident from the fact that the premises will place obssession of adventure, the macarena, the lambada and Antonella Ruggero! Besides the national music channel still pass the same video of Take That who passed 10 years ago when in my afternoons in the company of not studying satellite channels was a faithful viewer to Viva. Thanks to which, incidentally, I learned the most useful words like werbung: where to go if you do not know what they say in German advertising??

A couple of tips for those who after this splendid review of the city had wanted to visit Frankfurt: intortare and do not be avoided like the plague the ebbelwai (the local drink: a good apple wine-flavored beer watered down) and never asks for appetizers (also called "entertain") at 6 pm, you will find yourself in front of a plate 10kg of sausages and potatoes after three days to digest!

What I highly recommend you to do is spend an evening at sinskatten: If you are interested in the sociological study of human cases is the place for you!

Auf Wiedersehen, or as they say young people's cool: HELLO! (Mah ..)
