What should I pay attention to when traveling to Germany?

Germans are characterized by diligence and self-confidence. Germans who are strict with themselves are very particular about form and punctuality. Public and private affairs must be arranged in advance and completed on time.

It is impossible to meet the Germans without prior agreement. If you need to postpone or cancel the appointment for any reason, you must call the other party. Otherwise, it is not only rude, but also considered a great insult to it. Germans emphasize efficiency, discipline and meticulousness in their work.

A quarter of an hour or half an hour is enough for the first contact. Guests don't bring gifts or bouquets, and the host doesn't entertain anything. The best time to visit is from 6 pm to 6: 30 pm, or around noon 12 pm. It is best to inform the interviewee in advance.

In Germany, there are many rules for dining. A decent meal always starts with an aperitif Whether cooking in a restaurant or at home, Germans always like a bitter aperitif. After all the guests get to know each other, everyone will stand around and chat about unimportant and relaxing things, because wine and vegetables need a good atmosphere. When seated, men should not be seated until the hostess and other female guests are seated. Men should help women move their seats. Keep your body straight, relax, land on your feet, and don't move too much. When the hostess picks up the tableware, she can eat.

First of all, if you have any questions, please ask the Germans, although I believe they are all foreign Lei Feng with different skin colors. It may not be appropriate to ask legal questions in depth, because their answers may bear legal responsibility. But you can ask general questions in your life and study. Don't feel that asking too much seems too much trouble. If you ask a beginning, you still don't understand after listening to his explanation, and you are embarrassed to ask. If you let him know, you will feel that you don't value his explanation. Don't give heavy gifts to Germans casually. His first reaction to expensive gifts was to be cautious. Small gifts like a small cup of China tea and some paper-cuts will be very popular. If you have the opportunity to visit a German home, it will be ten to fifteen minutes later than the appointed time. If you are invited to dinner, you can bring a bottle of wine, a small bunch of flowers, or a dish you cook yourself. Termin is the most distinctive feature of dealing with Germans. Everything must be agreed in advance. Visits without an appointment, whether private or business, are not welcome. Honesty is also a principle of dealing with people. When you are small enough to eat, if you say enough politely when the host adds food to you, then no one will give you more food as in China. Germans come to your house for dinner. If he has said enough, don't keep asking them like at home. To understand the Germans, we must understand their thinking habits. The straightforward and simple idea may be that it is not suitable for China's modest and moderate customs for thousands of years. After staying for a long time, I slowly accepted it. Talking with Germans can be extensive, and you can argue when it's time to argue. I often argue with them about Taiwan Province Province, human rights and other issues, but later they forget it several times faster than you. Don't think you can convince him.

Dealing with Germans, I think everyone wants to make a good impression on them. My experience is that honesty is the most basic and the best good impression. And this is something that everyone can do. The rest depends on your efforts. In most of our experiences, Germans are very willing to make friends with China people. And all kinds of food in China are full of praise. If you want to practice your spoken English at the beginning, tell a few short stories about China. To tell you a secret, every German is very interested in the fable that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. I think this is an attractive bright spot in their thinking. Just try it. At the same time, let them revel in the culture of China for thousands of years, and help you correct the grammatical mistakes in your expression.

Don't try to cheat the Germans unless you want to lose your German friends or your dignity as a human being here.
