Poodles in a train window 300x220 German Life Series: Close The Window

Just like the French to keep the windows open! :)

Germans don’t like the window open.  Supposedly the breeze that comes through the window will more than likely make them sick or worse but we won’t talk about that.

What I Think I Know

  • Close the window on a moving train.
  • Keep the window closed in your stationary home.

What I Don’t Know

  • If I need to keep my automobile window closed while driving.
  • How to close the window on my bike. ;)

What Do You Know

  • Is there anything you can add about the do’s and don’ts to closed window etiquette?

      Wouldn't have to worry about another plane taking our head off, just the air. :)

    I was on a night train in Europe once and the only water for me to brush my teeth with was in my water bottle. After brushing, I stuck my head out of the train window to spit. I learned 2 VERY important lessons immediately…

    1. DO NOT spit in the direction the train is going! Oops.
    2. DO NOT stick your head out a train window! Immediately after I stuck my head back in, another train came along the track RIGHT next to our train. I seriously would have been decapitated if I were spitting just a split second longer! No lie!

      Thank God you learned your lesson without your head being taken off!xD

      Old Ancient Proverb: Just like peeing, also don't spit into the wind. ^_^

      The first time I was in a train in Germany and another trained passed by us I think I was startled! The sound it makes is weird. Here in America trains stop for one another and let each other pass slowly.

      One last lesson I suppose is to mind the gap even for your noggin.

      We are all glad you are okay.
