Interesting site but I agree with Nathalie: It should be updated! For example most Germans are shopping in Supermarkets - many little shops had to close in the past. Only smaller shops are closing at noon and many people have their midday-break where they work and have their main lunch at work or in the evening.

Hey all! I was researching German Culture because my most recent boyfriend is our foreign exchange student this year.(I'm a sophomore in high school) So I wanted to see if I could help him celebrate some of his own culture here in Amercia. I read through your site and it was great I learned alot, THANKS!!!

Very cool site... I just stumbled across it and ended up spending nearly 2 hours looking at everything. I wish sites like this where available for more countries, it would be intresting to learn about the rest of the world's cultures and day to day routines. Great job!

hey there. i read this site, it was kind of interesting, yep, but it urgently needs an update! shops don't close on 6 pm, they close on 8 pm and most people don't go home for lunch! they are going out with collegues to a cafeteria or they eat at the work. there are some things that aren't right at all... please check it out and change it. and add some pics about the greates places here!

your site is really great!!!!!!! but unfortunately full of prejudice against German trditions.(a generalization). But it`s OK. I am a Rotary exchange student and will go to Australia for one year (I`ll fly on the 25 July 2002...... in 4 days.) But I think I can use some informations for the speech I have to prepare about Germany. Especially I like your article about Mardi Gras!!!!! Bye, bye yours yara

I like your site. I'm like 60% german, and I felt like I knew nothing about my heritage. Now I know a lot more then I did. I'm still looking for more...but thanks. oh, and if anyone's reading this and they know people in Germany with the name: Hellein or Helloin, please have them contact me....I'm trying to locate some family and learn about my families past. Thank you.

Your site is a nice approach to give other people a small image of what Germany can be like. I like the design and the way you present your information very much. But for a site, that claims to to show an exploration of the culture, you offer only a very limited amount of information (with some aspects that are only true for certain regions in Germany). There is also a mistake in your quiz which spoiled my score. ;) I don't know if you are still maintaining this site, but if you do and you want more information or just another opinion on facts you discovered, feel free to contact me via Email. Wind in your fur and stars in your eyes. Beste Grüße... ...und Tschau Michael "LazyWolf" Brauner

Good site. Needed information to put together a multicultural festival where my kids are doing Germany. It gave a lot of information. Would like to see more on activities that kids could do. As I lived in Germany for two years, and family is from Friesberg in Baden-Werdemberg I found the site to be very comprehensive as to the customs and traditions of the German people. Keep working to improve.

This is a great sight. I had to do a project for school, and this sight helped me a lot. I was able to find tons of information on traditions and daily life. My mother is form Germany, and a lot of the things on the sight remind me of things I've seen when we visit my grandparents in Germany. Keep up the good work!

I think this site isn't very informational. I could find very amny activities going on and I'm going to Germany so I think I may be lost when I go there if I wanted to go anywhere.

this site is even for me very interesting though I am from Germany cause i see how people from other countries see Germany. It´s really very good. I´ve just never heard of that tradition to throw an egg over the house on New Year, but perhaps people in other parts in Germany do that. i don´t know.
