Germans are stressed people

• Germans are stressed people they get up around
  0600 o'clock and then often have only few
  minutes for breakfast. Because of their hectic
  they often eat unhealthy food (e.g., Fast Food)
  or have a coffee to go. At work they dont take
  things easy and work hard. At noon sometimes
  people eat nothing, because they have no time.
  The work is usually too much, because a lot of
  work has to be done by one person. At home then
  also still the household waits and the child (if
  there is one) is taken care of. The Germans go to
  bed late and the cycle repeats itself.

Coffee and Cake

• Coffee and cake on Sunday. This phenomenon is
  widespread in Germany. The Germans always have
  coffee and cake on Sundays in the afternoon.
  Punctually at 1500 o'clock the Germans (and
  really all people and age groups) sit comfortably
  in the sitting room or on the terrace and have
  coffee and cake. Nobody knows exactly where this
  custom comes from. The coffee time is a
  traditional meal between lunch and dinner in
  Germany and other countries (e.g., Austria,
  Luxembourg). Today as there is no time to sit
  down during the week this event is reserved for
  Sunday with carefully covered table (coffee board
  with coffee cover) and guests (coffee party). In
  Germany normally cake, torte or cookies are
  offered.

Soccer

• German people are crazy about football. In
  Germany there are about 27,000 football teams.
  About 6,000,000 football players are signed in a
  club . The best known football teams are FC
  Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, FC Schalke 04,
  Borussia Dortmund and the Hamburger SV. The best
  German football players have been Franz
  Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, Uwe Seeler, and Sepp
  Maier. Today these are Jens Lehmann, Bastian
  Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski
  and Michael Ballack. About football no jokes may
  be made. The Prussian customs are still held up
  in this men-dominated world of the green lawn.
  No intelligence or beauty is necessary.

Waste recycling

• Protecting the environment is very important for
  Germans. Sometimes the rubbish is collected in
  separate trash cans to make the waste recycling
  easier. Also biological rubbish must be removed
  as fast as possible. Plastic is thrown into the
  so called yellow bag or in the yellow bin. The
  collected wastepaper comes into the green bin.
  The normal rubbish comes into the black or the
  grey bins, and the biological rubbish is thrown
  into the brown bin. The plastic rubbish will be
  used again and so from old yoghurt beakers new
  ones will be made. Germans have to spend a lot of
  time on collecting waste but most of them think
  it is worth it.

Every day life

• Most German men and women get up at 6 o'clock.
  Then they have a short breakfast, men about 10 -
  15 min, women mostly eat nothing at all. Many
  Germans go to work at 7 o'clock. There men work
  approx 8 hours and women about 6 hours. Germans
  have dinner between 18 and 19 o'clock and mostly
  snacks are served. After dinner the Germans
  relax. Mostly crime films and comedies are
  watched then. On the long desired week-end the
  computer is used or friends are visited. The
  hobbies of the male respondents are mostly sporty
  activities for which they find time for about 5
  hours a week, the female respondents said they
  spend most of the freetime reading for which they
  invest 2 hours a week. The Germans go on holidays
  2-3 times a year. Most Germans drive to Italy.
