Berlin and their disliking towards german.

Website source http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15621262,00.html

Berlin is not only the capital of Germany, but is one of the most visited cities for tourist. In the article Berliners feel as if their beloved city is becoming over populated by tourist and are destroying their city.  The article made me feel more bad for the tourist then I did for the citizens of Berlin.  I believe that cities make themselves "ultimate tourist destination" because everyone wants to make money and know that tourist will be willing to spend money in a country they have never been to before.
 American cities such as New york city and L.A are the same way, they complain about all the tourist and how it is destroying their city as well. I think people are overreactiing and should be more appricative about the toursit who come and visit their City.  It should make them proud and want to teach the tourist things about the city they do not already know about.

Culture

Germany is a very proud country.  They are proud of who they are and what they do.  They respect others if you respect their own culture.  American culture on the other hand is very laid back and doesnt take too much pride as the germans do.  Germans like do dance and sing publically when americans are more private when it comes to celebrating. Americans dont do well with strangers when Germans do not mind comeing up to random people on the street and strking up a random conversation.
