Stereotypes

In den letzten Monaten wurde in der facebook Gruppe 'You know you're a Rotary Exchange Student when...' angefangen Listen zu schreiben, in denen wir Austauschschüler mal die Stereotypen unserer Länder aufklärten (um ehrlich zu sein habe ich keine Ahnung, ob 'aufklären' das richtige Wort dafür ist, aber mir entfallen Wörter im Deutschen immer wieder und deshalb ist mir dafür kein anderes eingefallen haha :D) Jedenfalls war es ziemlich lustig diese Listen über die anderen Länder zu lesen! YES I AM GERMAN:
No, I am not blonde and blue-eyed,
No, I don't drink beer the whole day,
No, I don't just eat sausage, sauerkraut and eisbein everyday,
No, I don't love Hitler and everything he did,
-even more: I don't know him personal, he is dead by the way.
No, I don't hate people who are not german.
No, not everyone lives in Bavaria,
No, we are not all rich,
No, I don't have a tales on my backs.
No, I'm not a Nazi.
Yes, I can see the stars at night.
Yes, I have fridges.
Yes, I have speedlimits on the freeway. (but we are still together with nepal and afghanistan the only country, that has actually places, where speed limits are not existing.)
No, a "Schnitzel" is not a sausage.
No, we don't talk in English to eachother, we talk in GERMAN.
Yes, of course we have a different currency, because NOT every country has DOLLARS!
Yes, American movies are translated to German.
Yes, I listen to American music, but NO it's not translated to German.
No, we don't drink warm beer. (but it depends, what you see as warm. just if its in the basement and not in the fridge, it doesnt meen it is warm. you just decide between fridge and no-fridge)
No, not every part of Germany looks like Bavaria!!!!!
No, I don't eat chocolate the whole day.
Yes, I talk to other people.
Yes, I laugh.
No, just because I live in a kinda "small" country we all have already been everywhere and know every city.
