My name is Tobias Harder. I’m in my second and also my last semester at this College. I have the chance to study here because my Dad is on a sabbatical year at swbts. Me and my family (7 kids + 2 parents) came to the States last summer. It is my last semester because I decided to finish my degree at the College in Bonn in Germany(some of you might have heard of it).

There are a lot of weird conceptions some people have about Germany and German people. I would like to correct some of these views a little bit right here:
1. We don’t drink as much beer as one drinks water. (although some drink quite a lot..)
2. Not a lot of people wear these clothes you can see on the picture. It is a traditional dressing from Bavaria.
3. Yes, it’s true. German cars are very good (i don’t wanna say they are best, but..)
4. Yes, we don’t like the French, though we got along pretty well in the past 30 years..
5. Interesting: The majority of Germans doesn’t like Americans a lot. George Bush and the recent wars are probably reasons for that.
I like you though..
