student n º 11 DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GERMANY AND THE BASQUE COUNTRY
Normally when you compare the culture of two different countries those are very different, for example about gastronomy, hobbies the schedules and more.
When Jonas was here he found many differences to their customs, here are some of them:
The schedule: this is very different between both countries. I normally wake up at 7:30 to go to school and then most days I have lunch at 3 o’ clock and I have dinner at 9 o ´ clock, but for example Jonas wakes up earlier because his ride to the school is larger and they must be at school earlier and to have lunch they don ´ t eat as much as we do, for example they eat a sandwich or something like that and they have dinner between 7 and 8, and sometimes in the Basque country people have a snack at this time.
Landscapes: this is very different too, for example in the Basque country landscapes are very beautiful because there a lot of mountains and a lot of green zones a lot of parks and those things made it beautiful and in Germany all is more flat, if you are in a big skyscraper you can see a lot of things because there aren’ t mountains. Jonas told me that he liked a lot the view of Bilbao from Artxanda because you can see all of it and it’ s beautiful, he liked the landscapes that were close to the mountains and though they look like the forest of Oma. I have never been to Germany but I think there are beautiful landscapes but they decorate the places more with structures or monuments.
