Weird Things in Germany

Some little things that are weird to me:

1. When you buy a bottle of water in Germany, they give you Soda water. Apparently carbonated water is the default choice for Germans. You have to specifically ask for water "without gas" if you want ordinary water.
2. They're really into recycling and seperating garbage into different containers. I just find it annoying.
3. They have a million Shawarma places - they call it Döner (turkish) Kebab - but none of them have Tchina!
4. The German language doesn't have a word for "deserve", only for "earn". That might say something about the mentality. (Or not.)
5. Suprisingly many of the Germans I meet seem to think that the language in Israel is Arabic and don't know what Hebrew is.
6. No air-conditioning!
7. Nylon bags in the supermarkets cost money. Like 15 cents each. They are not free. I repeat. You have to buy them, or bring some from home.
8. German TV has many channels with 24h "board" games. Like showing two pictures on the screen and you can win money by calling and saying how they differ. Or stupid puzzles and word games. There's even a channel for 24h fortune telling with cards. In short, German TV sucks.
9. At the end of an university course, instead of giving the teacher a short applause they knock on tables with their hands.
