Honestly, I disagree with pretty much everything you said. I don’t feel like I get poor service, trains aren’t designed unfriendly, and we certainly shouldn’t strive to make things less functional for some feeling of kindness.
Can’t talk about popular German music, as I don’t listen to that or to other popular music.
- bowsamic 4y agoHave you spent much times in other countries? I just spent a week in the UK with a German who had culture shock that strangers were actually talking to each other, that waiters called him "sir", and that the trains were so high-tech. Mainly I find that Germans who disagree with these things have not lived in other countries, and those that do immediately agree.
- Semaphor 4y agoYeah, you prefer the forced fake-friendlyness of anglo countries, most of us actually do not want that. And yes, I have lived in other countries.
- bowsamic 4y agoThe fact that you think the friendliness of people in anglo countries is fake is very sad... EDIT: trust me the banter between two strangers chatting in the UK is not fake. We are not americans. We are simply willing to talk to people we don't know. Germans do not do this. Isolating yourself from strangers is not something to be proud of.
