Funny Guide to Germany by Cristina Falcao Pdf

My name is Cristina, I'm from Porto in Portugal and I've been living in Germany since 2016. Actually, this is the second time that my professional life brought me to this country, as I had already done a two-year "pre-season" between 2008 and 2010. Living outside Portugal makes me create delusional mental caricatures of both Portuguese and Germans. This book focuses specifically on my mental caricatures of Germans and life in Germany. The book is a satire, not a guide about beers or sausages, not least because I hate beer and am a vegetarian. You will relate tremendously with the book if you are an expat living in Germany or if you are a german yourself. There's nothing better than to be able to laugh about ourselves.

Do your family dinners happen in more than one language? Do you celebrate Christmas and Eid? Do you and your family feel at home in more than one country? If so, then you may be a MOLA Family and yes, this multicultural, multilingual, mobile life can get a little 'messy.'

She has created the MOLA tool to help global families design and show their stories to the world. This is your 'life by design.' Pakistan-born Mariam is a writer, researcher and expatriate family specialist who grew up and lived in nine countries.
