Why I Love Germany
Germany is one of my favorite countries. It has a complex history, tasty food, speedy Autobahns, wonderful people, cool music, and a lovely culture. I really need to learn German because that is the language in which my favorite book, All Quiet on the Western Front, is written.
In history class last year, we did a Model UN project in which we were able to pick a country and study its history, economy, international relations, and opinions on current events. I picked Germany and had an actual excuse to learn all about it. For the presentation, I made little German flags to wave around, and my partner brought in gummy bears, which were invented in Germany. It was definitely my favorite assignment of the year.
International Day at my school really helped me appreciate German culture. German music was played over the announcements in the morning. I also got a taste of German food during lunch that day, which was extremely tasty. The ham and potato salad was amazing! Most people say German food isn't that good because it is almost all meat, but that suits me since I'm basically a carnivore.I would love to go cruising down the Autobahn at 150mph. Autobahns are like regular highways, except for the fact that some sections have no speed limits! Think about how exhilarating it would be to drive as fast as you can on one.
Since the World Cup is going on in Germany right now, I should mention that Germans also kick ass at soccer, unlike the United States. I hope they win!! I even have a Germany soccer theme on my internet browser.
The US has to be better than France at least. Sure they won the world cup in '98. But yesterday was the first time they scored a goal on foreign ground since 1986. Don't know much about German food, but whatever food you have pictured looks good enough.
