I've never been to Germany, but I spent a summer on the backpack/guest house circuit with Germans in Asia. I like them a lot, but you have to know one thing: for many Germans, there is only one proper way to do things, and that is the way it's done in Germany. And if somebody's doing something a different way, they'll stop everything to correct them. Don't take it personally. Somebody once described Germany as a nation of engineers; and personality-wise, that's just about right.
