"HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW ANY YEARS?!" 3. germans recycle quite efficiently. always seperating plastics, cans, paper, and other things. 4. germans don't hang german flags. and most are quite ashamed at how their flags remind people of antisemitism. +1. the high schools in germany have drinking parties as soon as you turn 16. when i first arrived, everyone was invited to a bar. and the bartenders don't really care if your legal or not. The End. It's always good to know when a country lives up to it's stereotypes. I know America is ^_^. hey. about those stereotypes, i agree with them from first-hand experience.
