Alle Artikel war sehr interessant! Ich habe viele über die Deutsch Kultur gelernt. I was really surprised by what I learnt in these articles. I did not know the german culture in supermarkets and on the road was like this. It's funny because there's a stark contrast between the articles describing how to behave on roads and how to behave in queues/supermarkets. While the article on the roads asks you to be overly polite, making sure that other people always get their way first (or else you'll "get a ticket or die"), the article on queues and the supermarket encourages you to be pretty ruthless. I found it funny that the author compared being in a queue like being in a jungle, each man for himself. It's funny also how even if you are the first in the line, you are still not guaranteed safety into the actual checkout lane. Other people behind you might easily cut and steal an open stall if they see that you are not immediately moving towards it. Where as in the roads article, even if you are 25 seconds late, you should expect a ticket from the meter maid, and you should so while smiling. It amazes me how polarized these articles are in terms of behaving, as one asks you to be completely passive - allowing others to take the benefit of you doing so - while the other two demand that you be fierce and determined to make sure that others don't take the benefit of you. In fact, one of the articles even suggested to eat a lot of garlic the night before as germans hate the smell of it. But collectively, all the articles were interesting and entertaining to read.
