Why are Germans so strict?

Germans are characterized by diligence and confidence. The strict self-disciplined Germans pay great attention to formality and punctuality. For public and private matters, time must be agreed upon in advance and appointments must be attended on time.

It is impossible to meet a German without prior agreement. If you need to postpone or cancel the appointment for any reason, you must call the other party to inform them

Otherwise, it is not only disrespectful, but also considered a huge insult. Germans pay attention to efficiency, discipline and meticulousness in their work.

There are many social activities in my spare time. There are receptions, cocktail parties, buffets, dances, etc. In addition, Germans love to travel, especially in winter and summer

Two seasons. After returning from travel, I like to gather at friends’ homes and hold a banquet to wash away the dust.

The Germans are a nation that values ??order. Everyone has his or her own "belonging", and even everything has its "proper" place. Foreigners

Traveling in Germany. The first feeling is that everything there is very organized. Signs and prohibition signs to maintain order can be seen everywhere. When Germans appear in public

When interacting with others, they should behave dignifiedly, respect others appropriately, and follow the rules in everything.

As the saying goes: Every place has its own customs, and Germany is certainly no exception. In the past, Germans divided "guest" into courtesy visits, farewell visits, thank you visits, return visits, inaugural visits, overnight visits, and fiancée visits, etc. Later, someone also discovered that there are two types of guests: Mr. Guest and Ms. Guest. When you first come into contact with someone

as a guest, a quarter of an hour or half an hour is enough. The guests brought no gifts or bouquets, and the host did not entertain anything. The best time to be a guest is from 6 to 6:30 in the evening, or around 12 noon. It is best to notify the interviewee in advance.

In Germany, there are many rules for dining. A decent meal must always be preceded by an aperitif. Whether they are serving in a restaurant or at home, Germans always like to have some bitter aperitifs. After all the guests get to know each other, they first stand together and chat, talking about something insignificant and relaxed. A pleasant thing, because good wine

Good food requires a good atmosphere. When taking a seat, men cannot sit down before the hostess and other female guests sit down. The man must help the woman move the seat.

Keep your body straight, relaxed, feet on the ground, and don't move too much. You can only eat when the hostess picks up the tableware.

Germans are more economical in giving gifts, and they give things for different reasons, such as birthdays, engagements, weddings, etc. Guests only bring something small, like a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine, or something they made themselves. It is known as "a small gift that nourishes friendship".
