But isn´t this just fun?
Yes, I know.
There is no sense in being proud being German. I learned that at school. I was to say I am sorry for what I did to the Jewish people.
I wanna mention: My parents were kids at that time. My Mom´s father was from Poland. My Dad´s father said, this isn´t right! He did not join "Hitler", lost his job but made a living none-the-less.
Being German means having clichés.
I am almost always 5 minutes there before we are to meet. If I´m not, do worry!
What I do, I do by heart. (Mostly, I swear!)
I do like Liverwurst.
I won´t say no to a beer.
I get sun-burned quickly, like immediately.
I am German.
And somehow it is a good feeling to see all the cars and houses with german flags.
Honestly: I do not care who wins the EM, may it be the best team :-)
Someone put that sticker on Ingo´s car to make sure even we go for it:
I bought eggs for two of my colleagues who are soccer-fans (out of 50 there are 4 in our company, weird, huh?):
In a few hours the first game with Germany starts - u-oh!
This place will be full of fans, right opposite our kitchen, that is!
We... went to the botanical garden, aww, finally, again!
Yes, here in Germany!:
The scientific garden is... gone:
What a pity!

It's the same here in Australia with the bad history between Aboriginals and white people.
I'm white and although I'm not personally responsible, I'm still very sorry it happened. Like you weren't personally responsible for what happened to the Jews.
Be assured that many Aussies do NOT look at Germany now and think 'Nazis'(I certainly don't). Be proud to be German :)
Thank you, Sarah!
Yes, there is heavy heritage also on your side - your ancestor´s side.
We don´t have anything like Australia day, so this is really... fun, to see all the flags.
Yes, people being proud being German. Ha. There. I said it.
