Sports : this topic sometimes is very difficult to have the same opinion on but we have one thing in common like in a lot of countries , football . It ’ s the most important sport in both of the countries . The differences in football are that the
fans in Germany are better than in Spain .
Other sports are also important as well , Jonas told me that he sometimes goes to see Hockey matches and that they are very interested in it . In Spain , basketball is very important but in Germany not that much .
He enjoyed a lot Athletic ’ s match , he liked San Mames and he preferred how Spanish teams play football than in Germany .
Parties : Before Jonas arrived in the Basque country I had tried a lot of times to explain to him how the festivals were but it was very difficult to explain it because they have never seen how we celebrate the festivities of a town . He told me that they do the parties normally in closed places like houses or discotheques . In order to explain how parties are done here , we went to San Miguel and they enjoyed a lot and they liked this way to celebrate a party better . He told me that in Germany they do big parties and very funny with a lot of people so I am excited to have one .
Gastronomy : this also is very different , there are some things that are equal in the Basque country and in Germany , for example fast food , some fishes and some meat . The way we have it is also different , we have few things for breakfast and they eat a lot in the morning and they use a lot different types of bread for breakfast , like I have said at the beginning , for lunch we eat a lot and they eat a sandwich or a bocata and they don ’ t use bread for dinner . Traditional plates are also different , for me our food is the best but I have to taste German food to compare it to . When Jonas was here he liked most of the food and he liked the rice a lot .
There are some typical foods from two countries .
