Things changed in my absence, my memories become blurred and I know I sometimes idealise my home country. However, I always enjoy to return to Germany for the holidays.

No supermarket, no department store, no hairdresser – nothing apart from bars and restaurants are allowed to open on a Sunday. There are exceptions. For example on the advent Sundays, the state may allow shops to open.

		<description><![CDATA[In Germany people love to shop in cheap supermarkets, so called ‘discounter’. They look different to a normal supermarket. To make people believe prices a really rock bottom, the store has to look slightly shabby. I suppose this shall suggest they don’t waste any money on excessive decoration. Once you have seen stores like Tesco [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=anjanettler.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9899661&amp;post=254&amp;subd=anjanettler&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
