Duh. I love Germans. I've never met one who wasn't nice to me. In Paris not a day went by without me having a fight with a Frenchman. Even in London I got to train my bad-mouthed English on Camden Market. But in Germany I've never had to. :o
Whenever you're staring at a map any random person walks up to you, asks you where you need to go, and they try to help you in their sunday English. Sometimes that gets on my nerves since I try to figure out things myself and really do not wish to speak in one of my own languages while I try to learn another, but they do it all with the best intentions and are really kind and patient while doing it.
When I wrote my application letters to companies in Berlin when I tried to get an internship there, I could perfectly tell the difference between the small German companies and the big internationals, purely from the way they ditched me. xD
Come on, they even made me root for their team in the soccer games while I hate soccer! It was just the enthusiasm with which total strangers told us when they had made a goal or everything. It just totally stole my heart. You guys are so adorable.
Even that drunk guy the first time I went to Berlin (also during the European Championships) was ridiculously funny about it.
I know perfectly well they aren't all like that. Surely there are also German asses out there. I just yet have to meet my first one. x3
Hmmm. Do you reckon I can get one as a pet? 8D
But almost every Dutchman I meet has this... nasty base. They can seem kind, but most of the time I have trouble believing it. We're all so fake. And the moment you're honest about something, you get kicked out. At the end of the day, we're all selfish and egocentered, mean and greedy, and we're only nice to tourists because we want to show the world how amazing we are and, of course, we can get their money.
Also again not all of them are like that, but I just really hate the general morale of the people here. You can tell me it's like that everywhere, but I just don't think it's true.
And Amsterdam is not Holland. It's a small country of its own.
Personally I get the chills from that place. Really sucks since I'll have to spend half a year of school there. xD
