Before I start to write something I want to make my point clear, this words I decided to write and you to read are only to entertain, they come from me and no one else and are not, in any way meant to offend someone.
I've been living in Germany for about half a year, maybe a few weeks more and the legend says (maybe even the text books) that the people from this lands have a bit of a sentimental relationship with beer, specially in the month of October. There is also said and proved that you can go threw this worldwide famous Autobahns with no speed limit, thing that in my opinion coming from Mexico this idea is kind of crazy and out of the road, because everybody knows with what sort of drivers we count in the Sombrero Territory. I can also add and tell in a 100% that you get a mini tiny heart-attack that moment when this tall blond all german person answers you with a "NEIN!" in a serious way (which by the way is really rare, they seem to live smile on their face).
We can't forget to mention the grandma that loves to bake this christmas cookies with cinnamon taste even when we're still in September, or that in those cold winter days prepares the delicious Cacao with walnuts flavor. And talking about food one of the biggest cliches of the German History, almost everything is based on a diet of Wurste und Kartoffeln, but let me tell you it's easy to get used to them, I like 'em.
When you talk about meetings (with friends), exactitude in the clock is the clue, it seems they were born with the natural talent of punctuality. Once you arrive (me, late), you see this long picnic wooden tables, food everywhere and this awesome music with the ideal rhythm to take the beer from one side to another and say "Prost!" (Cheers!).
I told you a part of my impression up to date; I also think there are some stereotypes about Mexico which at some point have to be taken out of the box, but till now we leave it like that.
