Germany

What do we associate with Germany?

Germany is a country where people love keeping everything in order. They have the same feeling for... beer and pork knuckles. German natives are faultless citizens, you can find a prove for that looking at they well-groomed houses, gardens, balconies and streets. They're a hard-working and thrifty nation and therefore also rich. It can not be denied, that they are a cultural power. Almost everyone knows the invention of Gutenberg, compositions of Bach or Beethoven, literature of Goethe. Yet they are a nation which adores having fun. Folk feasts, parades and other mass events are the favourite forms of entertainment. The most famous German feast is called Oktoberfest and it lasts two weeks.
