最近本当に忙しくて更新が怠っていました・・・（＾＾；実は月曜日より二足の草鞋を履くようになり、毎日がばたんきゅーの繰り返し。更には木曜日はとある理由で一日だけフランクフルトへ行ってきました。私は子供の時に（２５年前ほど）ドイツへ家族旅行したようですが、全く記憶がありません。なので、今回は初めてのような感覚でした。
ドイツは同じヨーロッパ国なのにフランスとは１８０度違うのでカルチャーショックを受けました。ほとんどの人が英語が話せることができ、またパリではわりと冷たくあしらわれるのに、とても優しく対応して頂きました。東京みたいに街をキレイにしており、だけどパリ・東京より緑が更に多い。勤勉なドイツ人、日本人と似ていてなんだか親近感を抱きました（＾＾）
I have been so busy lately that I haven't been able to write in this blog... :( Actually I started "to wear two shoes" from Monday and everyday have just passed out when coming back home. On top of that, for a certain reason I went to Frankfurt on Thursday just for one day. Apparently I went to Germany when I was a child (about 25 years ago) with my family but I have no recollection so it felt like the first time.
Germany is a fellow European country but there was a cultural shock for me as it's a 180 degree difference from France. Most of the people spoke English and they were really kind whereas in Paris I get the cold shoulder. The city is kept clean but there is much more green than in Paris or Tokyo. Hard working Germans, they are similar to Japanese and that made me feel close to them :)
