Where is Germany?

I've already told you that I would like to tell you more about Germany, German as language and the life here as a German girl. This would be a little bit of geographic information that when I am talking about my home country you know where to search on the map. Does anyone know where Germany is instead of the few humans which live in Europe?

If you haven't noticed Germany is in Europe, more detailed in Central Europe. Here in the picture you can  see Germany (with the state Bavaria of Germany) and the neighbour countries. Why Bavaria and not one of the other 15 states of Germany? This question is easy to answer, I'm a Bavarian teenage girl and out of this state are made the most stereotypes about Germany, I guess. Furthermore it's I think the most popluar state because of the Oktoberfest.

This part is finished. Now a lot more basic information. You can see in the picture above this text that Germany has a lot of neighbours and isn't really big in the eye of a human who lives in the USA, because the expanse is around 357 000 km². When you take the expanse of Germany into the USA, you need around 27 times Germany to have a simular flat. At this point Germany is a small country, but in my eyes it's big enough for about 81 000 000 inhabitants.

Every country has a own flag. The German flag is out of stripes in the colours:
black
red
Gold

 More stories about Germany and the different genres in here for example: the politics, the capital Berlin, Bavaria, typical German and so on will be written by another day and post. Time by time.
One thing at the end Tschüss und Gute Nacht! is German for bye and a good night on grounds that it's quater to midnight.

  2. Hey,
    You're back, awesome!
    I had to learn all this stuff in college, especially the colors of the flag caused a big discussion. One of my classmates said: 'There's no gold in that flag, that's just yellow!' My teacher was so angry, she practically yelled: 'IT IS GOLD'. After that it's become a bit of an inside joke of our class :')

    1. Hey Envy,
      Oh yes, we always say it's gold but the real colour in the flag is yellow, I think because of it is simbolic for the colour gold. I mean the golden textil colour isn't really nice. Yellow is shining and say us something and the golden textile is only mat. I think that's the reason for this colour fight.
      Love,Lea
