I've just come back from Germany.

• To me, the German culture is a mechanised barbarism. Very anti-humanistic. I'm a Japanese in the UK. I have a PhD in chemical engineering and had a job interview near Mannheim. I've travelled a lot over the years, but it was the first time in Germany for me - somehow I'd never had a chance. Simply speaking, I hated it so much. That's the only travel destination where I really missed England. How crap is that? I even felt like nicking a motorbike and riding straight to Poland or even Austria. I was that desperate to get out of the excessive boredom, pointless dictatorship of "ordnung" and widespread depression. The locals kept telling me how crap their lives are - long working hours, peanuts wage, general unfriendliness, nobody drinking beer under the sun, etc. The "DB" was totally crap and much worse than the British trains (holy crap!). I used a lot of the "RE" and "S" trains, but NONE OF THEM RAN ON TIME AT ALL. After enjoying the totally libertarian approach to everything in the UK, I just won't be able to live there (or in that sense, in Japan, either).
  Oh God, why can't they smile?
