I am really not a right person to hear complaints and moaning. I was barely a listener to my not very close friends. Everytime they started complaining, I will just make an excuse and leave. Since I feel that when I complain to others, I am spreading my pains and forcing them to share with annoyance, which I have no right to do. But I think it's time for me to make a change since I want to go to Germany! In the first reading "Whining, Bitching and Moaning", the author says that the Germans are "very happy" to complain about things like economy and football teams even though they don't have any real reason to do that. People living there are mostly covered by health insurance and they have a four-to-eight paid vacation every year, which is a way-better and easier life compared to most other countries. I might study a bit harder to make sure to get ready to understand what people in the subway are complaining about before I go. And I would try to get used to the staring by elders from a window I passed by although it might be tough. Being stared by people is always a super awkward thing!
As for their habit of using statistics, it sounds perfect to me! I am studying statistics so I might have some common sense with Germans hopefully. It might scare them if I tell them that there are over a thousand and four hundred million people in my hometown, Shenzhen. I would love to see how surprised when they hear that! And I won't go there before I collected enough data about the size and our polical system etc.
Got to study harder to get ready to my jouney in Germany!
