Reinhardt University this year decided to do a 'year of Germany' event. On the 17th October, at the Glass House an event was help allowing students and teachers to come along and indulge in the culture of Germany with informational booths relating to Germany, such as German culture, literature, art, business.
When I went along to this event, I didn't really know what to expect, but was quite interested to see that there were many tables set up offering information about the Country of German. I had been offered a Germany T shirt, but only if I could go to each table and get a signature. It was a lot easier said than done. It seemed that most of the tables required me to perform some sort of task, like answer questions about Germany, take part in a quiz and also try a variety of foods available. Needless to say, I eventually answered the questions correctly, defeated the dragon and gained my prize.....the T shirt, which I now wear to the gym.
I think I enjoyed the booth which required me to read a couple of pages about the German culture and answer questions regarding it. It was hard at first, but I was able to learn the most from it. I always knew that the Germans had a work hard ethic which I have always respected as it has made them become a powerful country around the world. All you have to do is look at the cars they produce to see that the quality is with them. I think Germany have done well as a country in rebuilding itself since WW2 to become a powerhouse. I think it comes down to hard work and determination.
Overall, a enjoyable event, with the added bonuses of free food.
