Tea culture?
Most of Germany is coffee land. The only area where people drink tea is up in East Frisia. That’s what I’m told, at least, as I have never been there. I only buy my plain ceylon tea from an East Frisia company, so it must be true. Either way, far more possible than tea in our village.

It runs in the blood
We have a saying in my mother tongue that translates to “blood does not turn into water”. It is meant to mean roughly what Steven Pinker explains in The Blank Slate, namely that you carry the genes of your parents and with them a lot of informational habits. In my case, this is in 50% a strange attachment to technical things that runs in half of my family. My grand-father was an...
