You're not a fan of 'Allo 'Allo by any chance?However, I don't know much about germans and have a feeling I have stereotypes in my head which are clouding my judgement. Very strict, punctual, no sense of humour, don't mention the war...that kind of thing.
Hmm...not sure if I would go along with that. Southerners can be louder thats for sure. However, no more than what was mentioned previously about stereotyping, its not accurate to generalise.(of course have been told that southerners friendlier than northerners)
....no-one really mentions the 'friendly or welcoming germans'
Yeah, I always found this a nuisance - never got used to it!they still have a sort of barrier between formality and informality that is hard to fathom until you get to know it - for example, addressing your boss by his first name, although you've been to his house, met his family, and had a few beers with him, was frowned upon.
However, as Pat mentioned, they still have a sort of barrier between formality and informality that is hard to fathom until you get to know it - for example, addressing your boss by his first name, although you've been to his house, met his family, and had a few beers with him, was frowned upon.
Germans' were also very courteous, a bit of a change from here....

You mean there's no German equivalent of "c'mere bud, what's da stawry?"?!
