235. 5 days and counting
So I had to rip down the bamboo fence which actually made my balcony half-bearable but was a excuse me???!!! a possible "eyesore" to the Germs who dry their clothes on clothes racks and have junk all over their balcony. Tonight, just 5 more days left, I went to Tengelmann the neighborhood market asking for some sliced pork and was denied service. She refused to help me and said that they clean the machines and can't cut anything for me. The store closed at 8pm and it was only 7:15 pm. My german-speaking husband was luckily with me and he asked again and then she did it. Again, these instances make me laugh or seriously cry. I will TRY again not to take this as a racial discrimination thing, he said it's because they're lazy. Ok, they're lazy, they're lazy, it's not me, they're lazy...

    I was born in China, then completed my university education in New York, and acquired USA citizenship soon after. A year ago, with the good dream about the fairytale land in Europe, I came to do an exchange program in Germany. Now, about 8 months past, all my previous passions about Germany all turned into hatred.

    Honestly, anyone with a brain, who can judge fairness, and anyone who has ever lived in that dirty land for over 6 months, and who speak languages other than German, will agree with me that: these people are the tumours of mankinds and shall be removed. I mean the Germans.

    As a person with chinese heritage, i always got stared everywhere I go in Germany, however, when I was in USA or UK or Holland, no one was ever interested in staring at me for no reason. The german stares, if anyone has ever encountered it, was like the most deadly evils one can ever imagine in the world: penetrated deeply into your soul.

    Whenever I complained about something in Germany,such as being rejected in a restaurant in Hamburg because I was speaking English to the waiter, or being yelled at a MC Donald (USA!!!) in Goettingen, or the Deutsch Bahn always being late... then all the germans will simultaneously speak the same trash to me: look at how bad China is... Oh geez, lord have mercy on these germans,,, I didnt even tell them I was from China (i could be from Japan too ;) and they don´t know I am USA citizen.

    I finally realized this is not because I am asian or I am Chinese,,, but simply because I dont speak German. (my program doesnt require German and the university wants international to be there because otherwise not many international students will come, compared to USA or UK). The germans also constantly talking bad things about French, Dutch, British and Americans. As for Canadian,and Australian... they are basically ignoring you (so have some self respect, to that canadian who is supporting Germany...live in here for one year and speak English to these people you know what I am saying!)

    Germany is the only country in the world that started world war twice and all got defeated. There is a reason why God only picked this place, not other places. And I am sure if germany was allowed to have army again after WWII, they will start WW III again. Inside their gene pools, are the instincts of being better than anyone else and hatred towards foreigners.

    I dont care about those Germans now afterall, I am coming back to USA in about a month and I will be deeply regreted about coming to Germany. I hope there will be no one else commit the same mistake again and hereby I took my time to report what I have experienced and felt in Germany, to warn the people in the future about this country. Germany is like The Lord of The Rings, the evil spirits still hidden deep inside. I am Chinese and American, and I speak English, French and Chinese. And I think we should not forget why the United Nations was founded. It was founded to stop Germany to start another world war. The five major countries in the United Nations: USA, UK, France, China and Russia, should work together. Remember, the Germans anti all of these five major countries in the world.

    If one day i ever run for the president of USA... my slogan will be: nuke the germans.
