I've been told, that I think this land is perfect.

I want to let everyone know that I don't think this land is perfect, I just like it a lot better than Amerika.

The family that I'm staying with is a typical family here, and the style is something like this:

The father wakes up, goes to work.
Mother wakes up, starts breakfast, wakes the kids up.
Kids stay in bed.
Mother tries again, manages to get me and Anastasia awake, but not Marius.
Mother finishes breakfast, and makes the kids some Brötchen with Nutella for school.
We don't eat breakfast Oo.
We leave for school, Marius chases us down like 10 mins later... 2 seconds before the bus gets there...
Off to school on the bus, mother leaves for work.
School is let out, we come home, kids work on homework while no one else is home... or if Anastasia has none, then we kinda just lay in bed together.
Mother comes home, and everyone talks about their day...
Father comes home, works on anything that needs to get done.
Mother makes something for snack, and we eat deliciousness @.@
While we're eating, she starts dinner, and cleans something (kitchen, clothes, usw.)
We eat dinner, then watch T.V for like an hour at best...
Sleep @.@
/repeat.

But you see...

the family style is that we're allowed to be ourselves... we're allowed to show emotions that I believe people aren't allowed to show in Amerika. Even though I'm living in the same house as the one I love, the father has accepted the fact that I love her, and she loves me. We've known each other for over a year, and he likes me, as well as his wife. Since this all works out, they know kissing/cuddling/holding each other is going to happen since they themselves show such activities in public, they don't care that we do as long as we've done other stuff first around the house, homework, usw.

Sex alert >.>; ninja text incoming... if you read this, you tried to read it... don't complain to me after reading it, yeah? =)

Her mother was talking to us, and the kids from school were there as well. The kids told Anastasia while I wasn't listening that I was only here so that I can have sex with her, which Ananas told me right away that they were saying that about me. When I looked at her, I said "I'm not her just so that I can have sex with you." Her mother looked at us, smiled, and said, "Yeah yeah, just use a condom, ok?"

She told me that she doesn't want me to have sex, but if we want it enough, then we'll find a way to have it, and she just wants us to be safe about it.

Culture differences like that are seriously in my favour.

Not because I want sex, and it's going to happen if I just say I want it...

just allowing people to be people.

In Amerika, if you start kissing the one you love in a public place... people say that you need to go get a room, or you need to cover yourself and do that in private...

when all of the world can show love, then maybe it will change...

Here in Germany you're allowed to show your love for someone else, even in the school it is very common to see couples holding each other whilst talking with teachers, and sometimes even kiss without seeing someone near them. The point is that everyone knows what love is, and everyone shows it at one point in their life. It's accepted here.

They respect nature.

They are a lot friendlier... seriously. You walk into the town, and you can talk to someone completely randomly about anything, and people are genuinely interested in your conversations.

The public is taken care of SO much. I can walk down the street, and people don't have to hide anything from tourists. I know of certain areas and things that you'd have to hide someone from in L.A. if you were ever to take a foreigner there.

People are people. I feel like I can be more of myself here, than I can in Germany.

That's why I think this place is so wonderful.

In school, you take sex ed, nö?

What do they teach you?

Abstinence.

What here? Safe sex. From the beginning.

It's not "We know you want it, but you're just not allowed, so don't have it until you're married, ok?"

It's like, "This is what happens if you don't use a condom, because we know you're going to do it. Want this? Then use one."

/difference.

Anyways... bedtime... I just woke up because I passed out D:

wewt 5,5 hours and school time @.@

[A_Forever]

I lol'd.

[Esen]

No, they taught us a safe sex... I clearly remember the banana and the STD slides. I always also shown a video how to properly check for odd lumps. In the other half of the class was the boys watching some other video, some tried to look over on our side though. Advice on things about condoms was given too... :x Plenty of girls have gotten pregnant at the high school I went to, it was nothing new so yeah...

[Ralath]

Meh.

In general, Europe is more liberal about those sort of things.
