Living abroad is amazing for so many reasons - it opens your heart and mind to new people and different cultures, languages, climate, food... the list goes on. The things that seem mundane at home, going to work or running errands, for example, take on a whole new meaning as you have to figure them out from a fresh and exciting perspective.

Getting used to local customs as a foreigner is not only a fun challenge, but it can also be a good laugh too. Misunderstandings and funny things are bound to occur as you try to get to grips with a complicated new language and way of doing things, and the best way to deal with them is to try not to take yourself too seriously!

American English teacher and blogger Jessie Meier knows this all too well. Her witty and erudite observations about life in Germany encompass things like the endless joy and beauty of the German language, some lighthearted complaining about slightly odd local habits and the German culture, and the funny everyday sightings and occurrences that living as an 'expat' can throw up sometimes.

To add a little more meat on the bones for non-Europeans: many European countries have a lot of designated bike lanes. Cyclists will likely be going full speed ahead and if a pedestrian then steps into the bike lane without looking, a bad accident may happen.

    It's "mate", not "maté". The little thingy above the "e" makes a huge difference. "Mate" is a South American kind of tea, drank from a special container you can see in the drawing.

    You stick your hands into it while moving them slowly up and down, positioned like the small icon indicates. The strong airflow quickly dries your hands. But it is also a good opportunity for hackers to steal your hand- and fingerprints because you move them in an ideal way to be scanned, like some research by the Chaos Computer Club revealed last year.

    This is a (supposed to be funny but only pointless) wordplay. "Busserin" (or its male version "Busser") ist not an actual word. The bus driver in German is "Busfahrer" or "Busfahrerin" for a woman. I guess it means to sound cool. It doesn't.

    Fun fact - to wax one's shoes means "seine Schuhe wichsen" in German, "wichsen" also means "to wank", so off you go wank your shoes.

Still,I think the sign should be removed...too insensitive and thoughtless

    The other two say that grownups must hold hands with their children and that teenagers are only allowed in the company of grownups.

    It's only one letter wrong, a 't' is kinda like an upside down 'f' anyway and most people could extrapolate from the data already given.

    They're missing the "kids must hold adults hand" "adults must accompany kids" guess they want the kids to die

    If you start falling call upon the toots to fly back on the path. Or at least break your fall.

    The grammar is humerus but let's take a second to appreciate the punctuation.

    Honoré de Balzac is a Frech writer. As far as I know, this chain of coffee shops was named after him

    He was somewhat infamous for drinking an obscene amount of coffee (think 40-50 cups a day) so it makes sense to name a chain of coffee shops after him.

    It's a joke dude, chill out. Just like one of the posts up there labeled something as big by using the American flag. It isn't something to get your panties in a wad about.

    I really don't get it why this should be a bad company name? How about some education instead? Never heard about the french writer Balzac?

    Some kids play firefighter because they are big fans, some play family because they repeat their experienced family life, some play nurse or doctor because themselves or a kindergarden fellow is sick, there's nothing wrong with giving your kids (non-functional childproof) doctor toys.

    I think she's chuckling because it says "I'm doctor" instead of "Doctor" or "I'm a doctor".

    A lot of languages don't use the indefinite article when stating one's profession. I am doctor, I am mechanic, I am teacher. English is the odd language out in that regard.

    In German we say "Lassen Sie mich durch, ich bin Arzt!" Literally translated "Let you me through, I'm Doctor!" So... what was your point again?!
