When I think of "German", I usually picture a good friend of mine named Sam. I met him on my trip to Germany. He was very tall and lanky, had blonde hair, blue eyes, and always wore a tucked in wife beater with his pants up high. He was such a good friend. He was very friendly and always willing to help out with anything, regardless of whether he was first asked to or not. He was often quiet, but always willing to assert himself to get the job done and help out with people. He's a perfect image of what I view as "German".
Most Germans I have come into contact with are very friendly. I'm sure that's just a generalization, but I like to think of them as being a friendly people. American people aren't unfriendly, but not quite as friendly as most Europeans.
Obviously in Germany, not everybody wears the same style. But I like imagining that they all have somewhat of an amish style. Germany to me seems like it's still very old in style. I know they are classy and very up to date on things, but I feel like deep down they are all still ingrained in their old ways. Which is vastly different from Americans. We're all about the new. To me, I feel like Germans love a lot of the old. Not that they hate new. I would think they love a lot of new things, and make lots of new things. They just have that love of the old.
