- guruz 9y agoI'm a German living in Germany. Can you clarify your comment for me? :-)
- mvdwoord 9y agoAs a Dutchie who just spent three years in Germany... You are perceived to be very closed, at least initially. Nice when you want to be left alone, going about your business. Not so nice when you are used to more interaction with strangers.
