Cultural differences

Annemarie gave a great speech to us. I liked to learn so many differences between the cultures from her. It was funny when she demonstrated the difference in the distance while talking between Europeans and Kazakhs. Also she talked about the service in our country and in Germany. It a huge problem in our country! The salesmen are rude and impudent as if they do not understand that I can walk 5 meters farther and buy the same thing in another shop. In the conditions of growing business competition they should understand that they can attract the clients by a good service.
It was interesting for me to learn that German is going to be taught at our school and even that it is already taught at Kokshetau School. Even though German is my second foreign language I hardly can speak it because I didn’t have any practice and studied English more willingly than German. But in spite of it I want to get PhD degree in Germany because I know there are Universities with the English language.
The most interesting fact I've learnt from her is the influence of the territory on our Kazakh tradition "to be late". Kazakhs are always late! It irritates me much. I myself hate to be late and try to come in time. I never thought about it from the territorial point of view. According to Annemarie, the reason of this habit is a big territory of Kazakhstan.
There were some questions I wanted to ask about getting PhD in Germany. I know that we can find everything in the Internet but, to my mind, it is better to ask a person who lives there.
