The Wife and I have been wondering lately; just how German are our blog followers? Oh sure, tons of them are from Germany — they live there or speak the language — but do their cold, pessimistic hearts truly pump black, red and gold? And some of our followers are from different countries entirely — America, Canada, England, Turkey, Japan, etc. — and yet their souls are just as Teutonic as Frau Weinerjiggles down the street. You don’t have to be a German citizen to take this survey, so let’s find out just how German you really are.
Take the survey below, share your results on Facebook and Twitter, and let’s see just how many “Deutsch Points” you can score!
Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
“I am very healthy. I exercise regularly, eat organic foods and stay trim. Of course, I smoke like a goddamn chimney, but that doesn’t count.” THIS. Haha! Fantastic post!

Great. I am 50% German and 50% Dutch. But all the questions are applicable ;-). I also live healthy (I hope). I smoke as a chimney. I drink beer and occasionally a rum coke. I speed when I am driving a car, i don’t trust any government :-) etc. I love this post.

I am usually trying to duck and cover when I see German tourists abroad lest I be lumped together with them – yikes! The way they behave in public, Germans are the most embarrassing travellers there are, apart from Americans, of course ;)

I think that Germans, Americans and British are the worst travellers in the world, they all don’t show good behaviour (but of course there are exceptions! :-))

I could see why Germans would want to tone down overt displays of patriotism, at least to keep the other European powers from getting nervous.
