From the "Hi im not from the US": 1, 4, 8, 9, 10, 13, 25, 27. You dont have to do them all if you dont want to, they are so many! :D

nah I’m gonna answer them all u just challenged me ;D

1. favourite place in your country?

My grandma lives in Dresden and it’s super pretty there. It’s one of germany’s biggest cities but it has trees and art and really old buildings and memorials and barely any noticeable pollution. I don’t know if it’s actually my favourite place because I go there like once a year and I barely know anyone, but it’s pretty and historical. (just ignore the old people, they’re terrible)

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

I’m honestly not sure if anything we eat is actually specific to germany. My dad is a cook so we eat many different things from many different places… but if a dish has some kind of steak, potatoes, sauce (preferably pepper) and green peas I’ll probably love it

8. Do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom?

Me? No. Unless you count american movie makers hiring swedish actors to play german roles because “they’re tall and blond” I don’t think we get confused that often…

9. Which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?

I actually visited most of them once, but I really want to visit the netherlands again. I hope I’ll get to go to Amsterdam the first week of easter holidays and if everything goes well, I might study history there too.

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

…I actually tend to use bitch and fuck most of the time ^^’ german swear words are usually either “scheiße” (in any variation possible, combined with every single thing, action or adjective you can think of), or words you really really should not say

13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?

there’s A LOT of alcohol at every kind of regular party. new years? alcohol. karneval? alcohol. oktoberfest? is actually just celebrated in the lower regions of germany, but also alcohol. christmas? you bet ur ass there’s alcohol. It’s a tradition at this point. I’d list a bunch of weird superstitions we have, but tbh most of the things you’ll find on lists about “weird german superstitions” I’ve only heard of through those lists. sorry :/

25. Would you like to come from another place, be born in another country?

Nah not really. Germany is definitely not perfect and especially the town my school is in sucks, but I’m happy with what I have here. I want to live somewhere else when I leave school, but I’m still glad I was born here.

27. favourite national celebrity?

I’ll do this with famous historical people cuz history is my jam so I’ll just list a bunch of famous dead german people lol :p : albert einstein, sophie scholl (aka my fave), bach, goethe, the guy who invented printing, beethoven, the guy who invented computers, the guy who discovered x-rays, schiller, richard wagner, nietzsche, the guy who apparently invented cars, the guy who found out the earth wasn’t the center of the universe, the grimm brothers, erich kästner aaand berthold brecht. they’re all pretty cool. (we got a lot of authors and inventors wow)

#i removed some ppl from this list tho #me answering 27.: gee time to show off with the one objectively good thing germany has: authors #and inventions but i like authors better
