- Asianwaste, on 10/22/2007, -2/+113No it means Germans and Chinese both like to see men wearing bras.
- lynkdead, on 10/12/2007, -9/+87Chinesse?
- shruggedatlas, on 10/10/2007, -2/+64This reminds me of the time I went to a German/Chinese restaurant. Food was great, but an hour later, I was hungry for power.
- mojaam, on 10/12/2007, -18/+78Wait, in the "Definition of Beauty" sections, does that mean Germans are into blacks folks while Chinese like whites? I don't get it. I don't get most of these.
- jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -4/+64I find the queue example to probably the most true out of all of them.
- Rikkochet, on 10/10/2007, -5/+55At the risk of being one of those dumbass Digg "whoosh" commenters, I'll guess you were being serious.
The snowflakes were temperature - Germans typically have a cold breakfast and a cold dinner. Lunch is THE meal of the day. The Chinese typically have everything hot.
The restaurants are volume - Chinese restaurants are like a bar brawl whereas German restaurants are a lot more subdued. - dirtyfratboy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+54If there's a way to misspell a word, count on a Digg user to find it.
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -5/+46America has 15 countries, dumbass. Which one of them?
- Tenlow, on 10/10/2007, -1/+38And those who have both German and Chinese parents will simply explode.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+37See the Chinese figure was bringing the new item from the factory, while the German figure was admiring it on his lawn.
- CoolJammer00, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36I'll vouch for it. I'm chinese.
It's true. Most of em, anyway. can't vouch for the Germans. - ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -5/+36So the Germans love bald black men in white lingerie? (Where's my nighty...?)
- nils, on 10/14/2007, -2/+32Uhm, as a German with a Chinese girlfriend (and therefore a lot of contact with the Chinese in general) I can say that these are all actually true. Of course they do not apply to EVERY individual, but... d'oh? If you think these aren't correct, then you obviously do not know China and Germany.
- adooga, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Was it the caption with the word "shower" that gave it away?
- cyberdork, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26It means Germans are not very fond of 'new things' while Chinese have no problem with embracing new things.
As a German I can tell you that is very true. The average German is very suspicious and critical of any new technological development for example. - DaLeech, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25As a chinese living in Germany, I can say with sincerity that they are all pretty much true.
- lyssword, on 10/10/2007, -5/+29Africa has 54 countries, dumbass. Which one of them?
- jtinz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22I'm German. The work is beautifully done and mostly accurate from my POV.
- cyberdork, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20And as a German I can tell you almost all of German pictures are true as well.
- christoast, on 09/04/2008, -1/+20Take a wild *****' guess
- Mousse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19This was created by Liu Yong, who was educated in Germany (makes you look dumb, doesn't it?). And exactly how does pointing out differences in culture make one racist? Some people.
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22to give an idea for people who haven't dealt with the Chinese. Imagine the worst mosh pit you've been in, but about five times stronger and with everyone under 5 feet. This is for a drinking fountain.
- mbonzo531, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18im german...this is so true
- terracottapai, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19Well how does it feel that you are now one of the two people in 6 billion who do that?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18Or maybe the fact that not everyone is stupid enough to read emails that are titled FW: FW:
- chingy1788, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19That comment is complete garbage, buried.
- FoxFaction, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19I don't understand the "new things" one. Is it saying that german people don't like to mess with new things and chinese people love new things? That doesn't really sound like how I perceive german culture to be at all.
- lemonsensation, on 10/22/2007, -1/+16Here's how I interpreted it as a Chinese and feel free to add your thoughts. Some does not seem true for Chinese. I don't know too much about Germans. Feel free to add or correct me.
Opinion: Germans are straight forward while Chinese are dodgy in expressing them self.

Anger/Displeasure: Germans show their anger when they are angry and Chinese pretend they are happy when they are angry.
Queues: Germans automatically form a line when waiting while Chinese clumps together.
View of myself: Germans looks at themselves as a big individual in their society while Chinese looks at them self as a small part of society.
Sunday on City Streets: German streets are not crowded while Chinese streets are very crowded.

New things: Germans are not very willing to accept something new in life while Chinese are very willing to accepts new things in life.
Perception of Each other's culture: Germans thinks all Asians wear farmer hats, drink only tea, and eat rice in a bowl with chopsticks. Chinese thinks all Westerns/Germans where Irish hats (not sure what type of hat that is) with feathers, eat sausage and drink beer. - khedoros, on 07/31/2009, -1/+16It's not hard to surpass the expectations of American educational institutions, and in my opinion, it's absolutely necessary in order to make yourself reasonably competitive in the world.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Because they're interesting?
- MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -10/+24"Retarded"
-Me - blog302, on 10/10/2007, -11/+25you have to understand at least one of those cultures to find the pics funny. to most Americans, they would make no sense.
- coheedcollapse, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17Chinesse sounds like a stripper name or a sexy shampoo.
- northernmunky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12It was a Chinese artist who studied in Germany. I don't know the name of the guy.
- christoast, on 09/04/2008, -1/+13Thanks for pointing that out, i was so confused and frightened until you cleared things up.
- stklaw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12It's very interesting.
- RexTraverse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11It's funny because it's true. Showed it to some Chinese relatives and they're still laughing about it.
Some of them I don't get, but the Queues, Punctuality, Restaurants, Handling of Problems, Life of the Elderly, Boss, and The Child were spot on. (well... Chinese at least. Don't know about the German ones) - fantastcandy10, on 10/10/2007, -7/+18not all americans are ignorant. we're people, too. we just have to surpass our high schools and our media.
(and I'm finding out, our colleges too. they're *****, and too expensive). - christoast, on 09/04/2008, -1/+11llits, ekat a dliw 'nikcuf sseug.
- unitedstatians, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Considering the Americas has 55 countries. Which continent dumbass?
- Asianwaste, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Before you dress, Chinesse
- L33tmaster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11dug down for using simplified chinese
- Derrekito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I believe you are mistaking dyslexia for another disorder.
- fires, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14Well, the German tourists who come to South Africa are famous for having jungle fever, dipping it in the chocolate, or however you wanna say it ;)
- blackjack75, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Rather than things you might imagine this refers to new ideas or concepts. As an European I know we often tend to be wary of any new idea of form of thought. No idea how this applies to the average chinese though.
- GeyserShitdick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Well, that would have to be in a straight line, now wouldn't it?
- bazzz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Pretty correct for the germans, too. As most of the stuff there. I don't feel offended at all :)
- rupaw, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8That's well done! As someone from Austria (a German speaking country) who dated a Chinese girl for a couple of years I can confirm: It's quite true!
- AnthonyA7, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Goddamn it, stop being a wiseass. Yes, you're not inaccurate in saying that "America" encompasses two continents, but everywhere- yes, literally everywhere- America always connotates the country name "The United States of America".
Personal experience? I've been to many countries on a total of five continents, and I was never once misunderstood when I used "America". -
