You Know you Live in Germany when… #1

…you’ve started walking across the street, but realize a car is coming. Instead of going back to the sidewalk, which is only a couple steps away, you run to the pedestrian crosswalk. 

These pedestrian crosswalks are safe zones. Cars will come to a screeching halt if you step out into the road in one of these zones. 

On Friday, Rachel and I were walking back from Fall Party. She literally ran to the crosswalk instead of going back to the sidewalk. We got a good laugh out of it, and we realized we are absorbing many little aspects of life in Germany.
