Kultur 4

I loved the bike article. It just reminded me why America is a lot unhealthier than other countries. Germany is covered in wide sidewalks that were meant to be bike ridden on whereas America has lots of roads that we can drive on. I think that Germans lives such a healthy life style. Not only are they obsessed with organic food, they are constantly moving their bodies by bike riding instead of lazily sitting behind the wheel of a car. It also amazes me the amount of trust that they have in their natives. I could not believe how they do not have some kind of ticket check or turnstile in order to make sure everyone boarding a train has bought a ticket. I would be terrified if I tried to cheat the system and then out of the blue got asked to show my ticket, (not saying that I would do that, but if I did, it would be scary). However, I do find it annoying that you must clarify the questions that you ask Germans when you buy your ticket. That would be another kind of awful if your ticket was not valid and you had to pull out money at the last minute that you did not intend to use. I do not understand them giving you a ticket that no longer works because that is so unproductive. But I guess Germans just need some clarification. I love how Germans are all about staying organized and that they have a support group for messy people. That makes me so happy because I am the same way. I am a person who goes literally insane when something is not organized. Maybe I should just move to Germany!
