Welcome to Germany
Dear Guest,
thank you for taking a few minutes to complete following Quiz. Every country has different rules, for example in Israel people will yell at you if you walk bear-food. In Berlin that's ok. But Germans can be quite obsessive with their rules too! For example everyone will stare at you angrily if you cross the street when the light is red. Probably because they're jealous that you arrive at the other side faster than them. That's a bit silly, but there are also rules that make more sense. Here are 12 Questions which will help you to cope with life in Germany.

In Germany, to prevent streets being cluttered with trash, deposit bottles and cans were introduced. For every bottle you return to a store, you will get between 8 and 25 cents. You can recognize those bottles by a little symbol on the bottle. Glass bottles for beer, water and soft drinks are refundable too, despite the absence of the symbol on them. Wine bottles and other glass containers are not refundable and need to be thrown in a separate glass trash.

Even at home Germans are paying attention to their habits. For example, to prevent dirt from the street get into the house, they will take off their shoes after entering the flat.

And they will also sit down on the toilet, even when peeing, to prevent bad smells and maintain hygiene.
