Today we went to a boardgame café. I really like these kinds of activities, because you can have relaxed conversations while doing something fun. Back home we also don’t have game cafés like these, so it’s always a good experience.
We all chose a game we would like to play. The first game we played was called Coup. Never played that before, so they taught me how it worked.
While playing Lieke and I really wanted to learn the numbers from 1-20 in German. I had them in high school, but that is so long ago, that I did not remember anything… While playing the game we tried to intergrade the German numbers so we could practice. It went well after a while. I will keep the practice up. Practice makes perfect!
We also talked about different rules in our countries. After the meeting Lieke and I made a schedule from the things we learned:
| German | Dutch |
| You can drink in public places (on streets) | It is forbidden to drink on the streets |
| Fines are not that high in comparison to The Netherlands | Fines are high in comparison to Germany |
| Winter tires are obligatory on the car | Winter tires are not obligatory on the car |
| On the German Autobahn there Is no speed limit | It is not possible in The Netherlands. It’s 100 km/h during the day and 130 km/h in the evening |
| A lot of shops are closed on Sunday | In the most cities the shops are open 7 days a week |
| In Germany you can’t buy and use cannabis legally | In The Netherlands you can |
| In Germany you can buy heavy fireworks | It’s illegal to bring heavy fireworks from Germany to The Netherlands. They will take them away if they find them |
