Hello and welcome

,

Hello Opera world !
Here is a newcommer to the world of blogs.
My reason to open this blog is the fact, that there are so many things in this world, which I like and as many, which I do not understand. So I will post here my thoughts in the future and hope, that you will comment a lot and make me understand. Besides that, I will try to clear out some of the prejustices about the Germans, which seem to travel the world. And I will start this right now by introducing myself:
Yes, you guessed right-I am German.
Yes, I am not skinny
No, I am not really fat
Yes, we do have small cars
No, we do not all wear funny leather trousers
Yes, our language has a difficult grammar
No, we are not all Bavarians
Yes, we drink beer
No, we also use small glases and not only stines
Yes, we are punctual
No, we do not ride the autobahn faster than 180 miles
Yes, we sometimes eat bretzels
No, Salzburg is not a german city
Yes, we also eat sauerkraut
No, we do not refuse McDonalds
Yes, many of us do have humour
No, our money is not dollars
Yes, we are (sometimes) dilligent
No, we are not always loud
Yes, we are relaxed from time to time
No, we are not all blond

So much as a first lesson :smile:
Feel free to comment if you have any questions

Hi Uwe,
it is good, to write over this topic!

I agree on many points and I want to add the following:

yes, we are fearful
yes, we believe in everything, people tell us
no, we are not all greens

Have fun with your blog! :happy:

I got one more... and this is really unbelievable:
yes, we have to pay to use our radios and televisions.

And that's not all:
as of January 2007 all German PC-Users have to pay an additional fee, because they might use their PC's to hear radio or watch TV.

And on top of this they want us to pay charges for the use of our cellphones, because also with these we might watch tv or hear radio.

It's time for us, to move somewhere else...

you just wait, soon they will charge you for breathing, since you might inhale radio or tv waves. I agree sternchen MOVE! I dont regret it at all - and I can use my PC without cahrge and watch even German TV....SHOCKS!!!!

Here in Denmark we pay for the national broadcast as well. The new ting is that we´ll have to pay even though we do not own a TV or radio - if we own a computer or a cellphone we´ll have to pay as well.

Not many will be able to get away from that!
