I think we had them all after this one ;)

What do you know about:
-Their language
-Their culture
-Their country
-The sound of their language
-Etc.

And Please,a German today isn't a German from 1945.If there are people who like to throw dirt against the germans LEAVE!

How come nico ?

They seem to be very respectfull with the laws, i know it sounds like a ckiché. But when you see them when they wait to cross the street, it is funny. I discovered the beauty of their language with the movie "Wings of desire".

So, what about the germans?
nico   Sunday, June 12, 2005, 18:21 GMT
If you have never been to Koeln (Cologne), do it. I don't especially like Gothic architecture but i was really impressed by their cathedral.

Koln.... why does english pronounce this like the fragrance?
it sounds nothing similar from german pronounciation to english.

Munchen sounds a bit like Munich , ok.

" the germans are blond-haired and blue-eyed people who drink beer, eat "kinder" chocolate, speak a harsh language and always respect all the laws... "

Beyond thoses clichés, the reality of this country is diverse enough to be told in a few sentences only; I'm not enough a specialist of Germany to speak about seriously.
