Basel ,why am i fascinated with that place ......



As a french major if i visit europe people will think that Paris is my dream place .... Well Paris is really beautiful but i heard a lot of complaints with the snobbish and racist attitude of Parsians ,thats why i would really prefer Geneva ,since it is also a french speaking city and we have friends there ,well why talk about Basel . A friend of my Father work in BIS (Bank of International Settlements) ,his 1st assignment was Basel and now his based in HK ,so i kinda google the place and i was fascinated how beautiful the city is . I guess someday i'll go there

German Humor

I didnt really get the gist of what Frau Lang was trying to say with the joke about the 3 types of Germans . When it comes to sense of humor in Europe i would say that the French ,Spanish and Italians are really the best . Well the German ,the only thing that makes me laugh about them is their Grammar . Somehow ,it might be interesting and a reality but when the Germans speak ,you must not disturb them because you would never get the gist ,their grammatical rule indicates that the modal/trenbarren verb would always be place to last part of our sentence . I guess we would know how to annoy our German Friends . Of course the number of Beer company in their country ,its really funny to think that a country would have 3000 plus beer company , i mean thats really unique in Europe , i guess the Germans are the Worlds number 1 beer loving country in the world .But i find a lot of Germans nice ,i guess by coincidence , i mean the friends of Cara ,i never knew that their purpose here in the country would be to help with Gawad Kalinga and Frau Lang ,who is such a wonderful person to talk to .Uhmm what else ,well it doesnt really matter even if the Germans dont really have a sense of humor , i guess they would always have the last laugh , since their country is just one of the most developed in Europe .

In Juli Reaction Paper

Well ,uhmm compare to some Filipino romantic comedy , i would say , this film would be better .I am not really a fan of Romantic films ,but at least somehow i kind a enjoy watching it .Frau Arroyo ,already mention that this film has something to do with Cultural Ties between Germans and Turks . I didnt really get the gist but all i can say is that the Film shows the boom of Turkish immigrants to Germany in the 90's .Well in the Film ,a particularly Turkish character there tells our Protagonist how much his family badly wanted to Move to Germany ,perhaps economic reasons , i guess the film is biased for the Germans hahaha since it is a German who made it .As far as i know ,Turkey has been lobbying for EU membership but it might never happen because the EU has strict policy in Womens Right and Islamic country usually has bad records with it even the most Modern one such as Turkey wouldnt really compensate with it . Going back to the point ,Somehow the film help us in learning the pronounciations and ofcourse we learn some German Slang words which i have forgotten .Perhaps another thing that this film would show is the imperfection of Europe . Well as people who live in the developing world we always have this perception that Europe is a semi perfect country ,for instance the Guy that tried to Rape Juli , Drugs and Romania which seems to be left behind in the progress of most European Countries . I would really prefer good bye lenin more but atleast this film is intresting and fun because of those Humors
