That's the reason behind many social meetings: <strong>alcohol<\/strong>. As usual, we bought a few beers per person from the supermarket <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rewe.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Rewe<\/a>. Since the start from my exchange year, I tried to buy beers that I had never tried before. My friends got <strong>Tuborg Pilsener<\/strong>, <strong>M\u00f6nchshof Kellerbier<\/strong>, <strong>Gilden K\u00f6lsch<\/strong> and <strong>Beck\u2019s<\/strong>.

A few meters away from the tram station, it was in a dark lonely street. We spoke in English so that Sand could understand us. We shared various stories of ourselves in our home countries and how we had chosen to come to Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"min-height:400px\" data-map-attr=\"\/qaddress\/q:\/q50.946666168156774, 7.075073606812319\/q||\/qlat\/q:\/qundefined\/q||\/qlng\/q:\/qundefined\/q||\/qskin\/q:\/qstandard\/q||\/qzoom\/q:\/q11\/q||\/qiconSize\/q:\/q36\/q||\/qmapTypeControl\/q:\/qtrue\/q||\/qzoomControl\/q:\/qtrue\/q||\/qstreetViewControl\/q:\/qtrue\/q||\/qfullscreenControl\/q:\/qtrue\/q\" class=\"wp-block-coblocks-map\"><iframe title=\"Google Map\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:400px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=50.946666168156774%2C%207.075073606812319&output=embed&hl=en-US&z=11\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-few-stories-about-ourselves\">A few stories about ourselves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zhalo told me that until his adolescence he had learned more <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/French_language\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">French<\/a> than <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/English_language\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">English<\/a>; it was for a matter of possible studies in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Canada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada<\/a>, as I remember. But he had always been interested in Germany above other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sand had learned German for 3-5 years at school. He was of course interested in coming to Germany to live the experience that he had studied in recent years. He shared about the wild sports campaigns in his high-school. A sample picture, which he send me days later, on how to use toilet paper correctly, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"604\" height=\"453\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/teepeeing-for-reals.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/teepeeing-for-reals.jpg 604w, https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/teepeeing-for-reals-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we continued to talk, I was thinking about if we should drink elsewhere. Perhaps in front of somebody's house instead in a random dark park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-now-the-dark-street-isn-t-lonely-anymore\">Now, the dark Street isn't lonely anymore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Something unusual happened that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 9 p.m. an elderly woman, perhaps 60 or 70, approached us. She wanted a favor from us. It already seemed strange to me. Why would a woman come to ask some young men who were drinking beer in the street for help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-help-in-a-different-way\">Help in a different way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She asked us a few questions. Sand, who understood more German than me, spoke to her. She told us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>[Mysterious Woman] I'm scared to cross the park alone at night. Can someone from you accompany me? {German}<\/li><li>[Zhalo] I can. {German}<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sand was translating us the situation. Zhalo went away with the woman, even-though he didn't spoke german very good. Sand and I was discussing about this and after a while Zhalo returned; he said the woman was fine and nothing had happened to her, or to himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-did-just-happened\">What did just happened?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<strong>A woman approached us to ask for help knowing that we were drinking beer<\/strong>\u201d we all thought. That was strange to me and definitely to any of us. I was thinking &#8220;<strong>I don't believe it<\/strong>&#8220;. We said that we would never ask for help from a group of men drinking beer, alcohol or liquor in a dark lonely street, even worse in the case of a woman. I would not have done that in Ecuador or Germany. But I still found it interesting to perceive that trust that exists, in a certain way, towards a stranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the next few months, I would experience an almost complete sense of security. In Germany you could walk at 8pm or 2am at night very quietly through the streets without problem as long as you walk within the street light. This applied to 90% of the areas of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Ecuador it doesn't come to my mind to walk freely in the streets at night, after 8pm or so, unless it is populated with other civilians, it has plenty of light, etc. I appreciate this very much about German culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#990000\">voyageLlama's Index of Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click on the following link to browse likewise content in the <a href=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/blog\/\">blog<\/a> in voyageLlama. <a href=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/index\/\">This index<\/a> will help you see what you are looking for in a bird's eye view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/index\/\" style=\"background-color:#990000\">Index<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#990000\">Keep Reading!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/category\/travelling\/culture\/\" style=\"background-color:#990000\">Culture Category<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__featured-image alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Culture_shocks_Portugal_9-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Culture_shocks_Portugal_9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Culture_shocks_Portugal_9-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Culture_shocks_Portugal_9-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Culture_shocks_Portugal_9-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/div><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/prueba.voyagellama.com\/en\/culture-shocks-in-portugal\/\">Culture Shocks in Portugal, silly and unusual but awesome Differences<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">These are my intriguing culture shocks in Portugal that you have to know before visiting this lovely country.
