There is a widely circulated passage on the Internet, "God created Italy to pit Germany."
From the North African theater of World War II to the World Cup, Italy and Germany are a pair of good friends in Europe who are afraid of each other to death.
When italians and Germans get up close and personal...
Italians say: What a nuisance to the German stereotype of Italy! As soon as I heard that I was Italian, I said, "Hahahahaha, I know Italy!" Pizza, pasta, Berlusconi and the mafia! "
The Italians were not convinced and began to fight back:
For many Italians who are new to Germany, the most intolerable thing is that German restaurants are already full at 18:00. Dinner in Germany is about 18-19 o'clock, and in a beautiful country like Italy, it is 8 pm to start dinner!
Traditional Italian dinners are small in portions, usually a soup, a vegetable or a salad. The traditional German dinner is bread, sausage and cheese butter, which Italians who are new to Germany are often not used to.
In fact, many Germans like Italian food and often go to Italian restaurants to eat. What puzzles Italians the most is why Germans who enter Italian restaurants have a cappuccino after ordering pizza or pasta? Some Germans also drink cappuccino with pizza at the same time?! This combination is simply not too magical for Italians!
Native Italians usually drink an avenar after dinner, or ramazzotti after-dinner, or grappa, which is not cappuccino anyway, it is only in the morning.
The most puzzling thing for Italians is that many Germans choose to go on holidays to Italian beaches in spring and autumn. For Italians, going into the water during this time period is simply death! Only 20 degrees, how to swim in the water?
However, for the Germans who lie on the beach and jump into the water with just a little sunlight, the Italians say they really can't understand!
When it comes to phone calls, Italians and Germans have very different habits. As soon as the Italian picks up the phone, he will happily shout and shout, to pass his emotions through the microphone. But the Germans were different, whispering and not really hearing clearly without pricking their ears.
Seeing that Germans can drink 2-3 liters of beer in a few hours, Italians are shocked!
But Italians still prefer wine, an Italian can drink 34.1 liters of wine a year, but a German can only drink 24 liters. Germans can drink 104.1 liters of beer a year, while Italians can only drink 31.1 liters.
Of course, each country has its own unique customs and styles.
