Signs of native Germans

1.  Waiting for the green man
It's the classic expat experience, cross a road, nonchalantly scoffing at the over-obedient Germans waiting for the pedestrian crossing to turn green.

Me : hermm yeap good discipline that becoming my current behavior.


2. Panic shopping on a Saturday at 1:05pm
At the stroke of 5pm on a week day and 1pm on a Saturday, every single shop everywhere in German simply closes for business also in public holidays 

Me : so I need to alert when is Germany public holidays and my food stocks, if not haiyooo "kebulur wooooo" 



3. Eating a kebab while sober

In Germany, where the abundant Turkish community has turned the kebab into a tasty treat and a sensible dinner option.

Me : so far delicious kebab i had eaten is in Taklamakan, Uyghur chinese owner rest. near the Munich Main Central Train Station.



4. Irritated about tardy public transport

German people may feel a sudden spasm of rage when a well-lit information board informs that must wait couple of minutes because of  train delay.

Me : in my home country I can be patient to wait public transport until half an hour but at here train delay about 5 minutes I'm starting grouch.


5. Carrying a bottle around all day for the deposit

It's only 25 cents - but it's 25 cents, once collected four that will be one euro. In Germany every recycle bottle will be charge 25 cent per bottle as deposit. Once they refund this bottle, they will get back their deposit.

Me : I learn new thing, when you give some value to some thing, people will appreciate it.


6. Wearing Birkenstock sandals as slippers

Minded of Germans think that the best way to manage the health of their foot arches is to choose Germany's most famous orthopaedic footwear while relaxing at home.

Me : hermm I'm not try yet.


7.  Being comfortable naked body in front of family members.

During a long hot summer, Germans can't imagine anything more relaxing than playing frisbee with their grannies - naked. It takes years of living in Germany to shed the psychological shackles associated with swinging private parts freely in front of family members.

Me : hahaha this part "memang aku tak sanggup nak buat"....

  2. as salam pok chik oPEd....

    sob sek sob sek....patut la tunggu punya tunggu....xder posting baru....nak komen pula kt blog pok chik nak tanyakan ke mana pok chik menghilang pun dah xboleh. (risau2 jua takut2 pok chik sakit ka ape ke)....pok chik xsyok la camnie...nanti xdapat la saya nk menceduk story mory dari blog pok chik...

    satu kehilangan yg besar pada saya kalau pok chik stop merapu dan meraban....

    melalui story mory pok chik la saya dapat mengembangkan minda membuka sudut pandangan, menilai sesuatu dari neraca pemikiran saya yg biasa...

    melalui story mory pok chik la saya dapat kenal Hulagu, anak beranak Geghis Khan dan kisah bendera hitam yg hampir meranapkan kota2 eropah...sehingga cerita2 ini mendorong saya apabila saya ke berjalan2 ke serata kota eropah saya cuba mencari kesan2 sejarah lampau tersebut....

    melalui story mory pok chik oPEd la cara saya berfikir tentang politik berubah menjadi terima seadanya kepada pemikiran yg lebih kritis.....yg baik terus kita sokong (walaupun dari pihak sinun mahupun pihak sinin)...pesanan pok chik tentang syaitan yg tidak dilihat hantu yg dapat dilihat, sentiasa saya ingati....

    melalui story mory pok chik oPEd la saya lebih mendalami soal ekonomi dan kewangan yg dulu nya saya tak berapa kisah sgt...

    melalui story mory pok chik oPEd la saya dapat bertukar2 cerita dgn kawan2 dr serata dunia di Dubai, Arab Saudi, S'pore, dll; tentang kisah2 kehidupan mereka di sana dalam semangat org Melayu khasnya dan Malaysia amnya.....dan juga kawan2 di Malaysia yg hebat2 dlm bidang masing2 seperti kak Ninot dan kak Katrina (yg pastinya saya xkan jumpa jika berhubung dgn saluran lain)

    melalui story mory pok chik oPEd la saya bermacam2 lagi kenal perkara baru dalam kehidupan...

    melalui story mory pok chik oPEd la yg paling utama saya tergerak untuk membuat blog ini...inspirasi yg pok chik berikan walaupun dengan sedikit kata2 mampu merubah saya untuk terus berazam memperbaiki diri menguasai bahasa inggeris..kini saya tidak lagi malu2...malah i'm more confident to confront anybody...

    walau apa pun saya hormati tindakan pok chik. tentu ada sebab yg kuat mengapa pok chik stop untuk merapu meraban. tetapi saya yakin pok chik pasti akan kembali, kerana org yg biasa menulis dan berstory mory ini pasti akan terus menulis/berstor mory....

    saya harap ketika itu saya akan alert dgn come back pok chik..

    dibawah adalah alamat email saya..saya harap kita tidak akan terputus hubungan..pastinya bila saya kembali ke KL nanti, saya akan cari pok chik untuk layan teh tarik bersama di Lembah Keramat sambil mendengar pok chik membebel...hehe
