spirit of the holidays

one of the reasons why Germans like traveling so much is 'cause our holidays kind of suck. a lot. the main reason for a free workday in Germany is 'go-to-church-and-feel-bad'. don't expect fire, flowers, music or any kind of party attitude on a holiday in this country. a couple of years we got this new one: Tag der Deutschen Einheit. the third of October isn't the actual date when the wall came tumbeling down & this country got reunited - but the real date already was a kind of eh worn-out. So we finally got a holiday with an emotional historical-action theme. we decided to celebrate by reeanactment. the banana (everybody knows) is the fruit of unity & the wall came down by fire led by 20 Ft. amazons. this is old German tradition. David H. had nothing to do with it.
