Turning German part 2
- Stop at the red man without a car in sight.
- Think in Euros without converting to (Ringgit Malaysia)
- Start counting time in minutes. For e.g. you know the exact time the trams/trains near my house leaves, so if the next tram is at 8.33, and it takes 12 minutes to walk to the stop, can leave at about 8.20 and not have to wait too long at the stop

- Change a statement into a question by adding an “or” on the end: We’re not going to be able to play today because of the weather, or?
- Stopped laughing and wonder what’s there to smile about !
- When you start telling people back home things in their faces without beating around the bush.
- When you keep saying BMWhey, Fauwhey, Whey cey etc. !
- Only drink carbonated water; tap water is tasteless! or when you start diluting every type of drink imaginable with ‘natürliches mineralwasser mit kohlensäure’.
- When you start to “make” things. Anyone want to make some sport with me this afternoon?
- When you are asked to bring a dessert to a party and the first thing you think of is Apfelstrüdel.
- You start wearing Birkestocks with socks… reminds me of my maths professor
- When you are in this
kind of position and shout “ohh Scheiße…!”, instead of “ohh shit..!” 
- You know it’s Germany if there’s a bakery or pharmacy on almost every other street in the town center.
- Separate your trash
- Carry a “4You” backpack.
- Call your cell phone “handy” and a scientific calculator “pocket calculator”
- Everyone knocks on the table at the end of a meeting…
- Get a twinge of excitement when walking past a tchibo window
- You will be asked to show your ausweis (Passport) by the polizei
- The public toilet is damn dry
- KEBAB Imbiss is everywhere
