    thank you for your long answer.
    I mentioned the Poles because they are the people I know most about apart from Germans, having been married to a Polish woman for 10 years, so yeah, of course they rock.
    We also had many Poles for neighbours when we lived in Münster, and I can totally second your experiences.
    And yes, Germans do not do that. Just as they don´t do the smiling thing. But my point is, different cultural habits don´t mean basic rudeness.
    You know, if you invited your neighbour over to a party with you and your Polish neighbours, you might be surprised, pleasantly I mean.

    You see John, you have one big advantage: you can use your American friendliness there to full advantage. And always remember: being stony-faced is the default mode for Germans, it really doesn´t mean anything.

    Oh, and finally there are huge regional differences. I, for example, currently live in the Rhineland where people are, by German standards, very outgoing. I see from your profile that you live in Bavaria, might I ask if you are in a big city or in a village??

    And about making our lives more complicated than it needs to be: yeah, that is propably true sometimes.
