German guys seem to be very much like Brazilians... with the BBQ and football things.... or maybe is a guy thing as you said. I have never been really into BBQs....
I wasn't really into BBQs either (not easiest thing to organize in Tokyo...and I've also only done it once in Canada), but people do it pretty casually here! I'm starting to get into it! haha
For some reason, a majority of German men seems to think that cooking is something to be done exclusively by women (I want to stress that this is a large group, but by far not all of them), HOWEVER: It totally becomes the beacon of masculinity, if the cooking is done outdoors.
It's true, eh? I don't really know too many girls who go gaga over BBQ season but there are plenty of guys who have their own BBQ grills and equipment and whatnot. I realized recently that I really shouldn't drink beers at BBQs because beer makes me want to pee every hour and it's not always easy to find a bathroom...
I have a theory regarding the beer, but you have to draw the conclusion yourself, cause it's too gross to type. Well here it goes:
Think Oktoberfest and the size of the Maas (is that how you spell it? No clue). Then multiply that times the number of Maas the average festival goes has, add half the difference of what the most eager ones drink (to be more realistic about it), then divide that number by toilet breaks needed due to volume of liquid. Add factor x for elevated difficulty getting to portaloos when in a tent = ... the place must have quite an aroma.
Only the weather does not seem to agree with BBQs this year :-/ We got a beach ping pong set yesterday. Its really cool. We'll bring it along...
ReplyDeleteYeah, but it seems to be getting slightly better! Ever so slightly. Beach ping pong sounds intriguing and AWESOME!!
DeleteLike all German man like football...
