Berlin is a very edgy place, a very cosmopolitan place. It's a place where completely different ideas and cultures come together and clash in a very warm way. In a very warm-hearted way.
— Ian Bremmer
Prepare a 5-minute, true, personal story that explores the idea of culture clashes, sometimes in the most unexpected ways:
Being shocked at Germans obsession with - - - ; an embarrassing faux pas at your in-laws; your summer working on a mango plantation; the shock of married life, city life, working life, family life, or WG-life; unexpected worlds, new traditions, crossing borders real or imagined; going on a road trip to nowhere; feeling like a stranger in your hometown.
Tell us about a memorable time when different worlds clashed.
If you’ve got a story, we got a stage.
