If there is one thing Germans do well, that is traditions and celebrating them. Take Christmas markets, for example, they are great. While Christmas markets are very popular and spreading around the world, this week we are celebrating a lesser-known tradition (in my eyes anyway).
We are celebrating the German St Martin's Day. To be fair, last year we had no idea about it. As newly-arrived foreigners, we had never heard of it and had to be explained the gist of it. But it seems to be a very popular tradition for children.
Once I have settled on a language I use with another multilingual, it is uncomfortable for me to switch to another one. Feels fake.and I thought: 'thank God, it's not just me then!'
