At least it USED to. Maybe not now?

I was amazed by Germany as a kid. Germans would stare at me and my family blankly, like we were a boring TV show. At restaurants, they didn't even talk among themselves. They preferred to slowly chew their cuds and stare at us. It's not like we were loud and obnoxious either. At least they didn't look angry.
