So whats Germany like?
That's a difficult question to answer. There are so many different parts of Germany. From the landscape it's pretty flat in the north, no mountains there, just a beautiful coast
It's where I live.
The mountains are in the south and I think most people find the south more attractive, but to me it will always be the north with the sea and coast ... but that's probably because I grew up here LOL
The biggest town near where I live is Hamburg and that is where I go to see musicals ... not as often as I'd like though and I have seen more musicals in London than I have in Hamburg
The people are pretty different too. They are more open in the south. It takes forever for us up here to ever open up to anyone, but when we do, it's 100 % honest (or so it is said LOL)
There is also still a difference between east and west unfortunately. Even though the wall deviding germany for so long fell over 16 years ago, people still think in east and west. The poverty in the east is still higher than in the west, there are more people unemployed and the wages are lower than in the west as far as I know. But it's getting better and I hope that someday that invisible border will disappear too.
Hmm, I can't think of much else to say about Germany. Do you have any specific questions?
