In Germany we don’t say „Da hast du recht, diese Struktur ist veraltet und nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Das müssen wir dringend reformieren.“ We say „das ist historisch gewachsen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯“ and I think thats fucking horrible.

In Germany a nine year old girl was speaking Turkish to her friend during recess. A teacher over heard her and demanded she speak German- they punished her by forcing her to write a paper on “why we speak German in school”. Then her parents sued the school and won. ❤️

Two of my favorite things in one video: American public libraries and water bottles. US public libraries just make me so dang happy (especially when they are being funded and not being attacked and encouraged by extremists to ban books, ahem, PS go vote) youtube.com/watch?v=5Keagt…

@Heather_inDE @MCinHD I go every year (even when it was canceled due to Corona so my friend and I hiked there with our own Glühwein lol) and it is a must! If you did a weekend in Freiburg, you could do this one day and Strasbourg the next. Definitely worth it IMHO!

@MCinHD Definitely the right call! Just take the regional train to any of the stops, but Himmelreich is closest to Freiburg. (It is also a gorgeous train ride so if you have time to kill, go take a little stroll along Titisee!)

Good afternoon to the old lady who saw teens wearing Bremen gear in Freiburg today and stopped, glared, and yelled at them, "You're REALLY wearing GREEN today in this city! What a JOKE!" #scfreiburg

@MCinHD Absolutely worth the trip! I have friends visiting early Dec and am taking them to Heidelberg Weihnachtsmärkte at the beginning and Ravennaschlucht at the end 😃

Historic Highlights @hhofgermany

The Wiwili Bridge connects the Stühlinger district with the Old Town, bridging the tracks of #Freiburg's nearby main railway station. From the old town, the bridge leads to the churchyard of the Sacred Heart Church (pic). The bridge houses two memorials. #WeAreGermany

Another word which I find a lot of fun is "ankommen". Have you noticed Germans can arrive physically somewhere and yet require further time to "ankommen"? The spirit lags behind the body a bit... English spirit is unable to separate in this subtle way. We are monists.

Meanwhile German football/soccer commentators are 90% them sitting in silence and then occasionally mumbling something in a very even tone. 😂

This week I talk to @dcwarrington of the podcast @about_abroad, a total remote work nerd, and reveal that I am a digital nomad skeptic. We get into the pros and cons, the perks and consequences, of this new work structure that's here to stay. theexpatcast.com/remote-work/

This convo feels like when you compliment someone on their cool coat and end up falling into conversation and find that they're just as cool, if not cooler, than their coat. ...OK that is a very North America example. Germans don't talk to strangers. 😅 theexpatcast.com/identity-burps…
