Kultur 7 - Elden Maynard

Ich habe der "What Discipline" Artikel gefunden sehr interessant. Die Deutschen haben "Ordnung", which rules much of German social exchanges, yet when it comes to waiting in line, or "queueing", all Ordnung goes out das Fenster. I found that quite odd, seeing that in the one place where it seems like Germans would want to have various unwritten rules for conduct would be when they wait. If ich bin nach Deutschland gereist, ich would have a terrible time at this, because I often allow other people to go in front of me in line, or am otherwise not too concerned with powering my way through a queue.

In der anderer Artikel, "USA kulinarisch", ich habe ein post titled "Wo bekomme ich Butterscotch Chips" gelesen, wo ein Bäcker fragt if anyone knows wo er kannst Butterscotch Chips gekauft, because can't find any in his area. This reminded me about learning in Frazosischklasse in High School, and in other language courses, that there are many common American food items that simply aren't prevalent in Europe (and vice versa), one of the most prominent being peanut butter. I don't know if peanut butter is more available than it was before, or if it's popular in Deutschland, but it seems Butterscotch is not.

In "365 Dinge" ich habe "Der Döner: in Berlin erfunden" gelesen. Der Autor ranks die zehn besten Dönerläden für Hagen aus Charlottenberg. Dönerläden ist ein sandwich made of Döner, ein Fleisch made by cooking beef, veal, or chicken on a vertical spit. It comes from Turkish origin, and is similar to a gyro, or shawarma. In German 101, we learned that Döner ist ein sehr popular dish in Deutschland, which is interresant because it is a very foreign dish.
