German happiness with a Russian accent. Das ist fantastisch in the land of naked saunas, beer festivals, and serious but not exactly burgers

Karina Katrysh — a blogger, went to Germany to study and planned to return to Russia but met her love, got married, and has been happily living in another country for 10 years. Where to find reasons for joy in... a foreign country if dreams and reality turned out to be completely different? How does German happiness differ from Russian? Why do Germans decide what blinds their neighbors will have? Why do they delay marriage and are reluctant to divorce in Germany? What can surprise with a German pig? The author reveals a glimpse into the amazing world of German traditions, family celebrations, street festivals, and incredible people. The author will take you to Oktoberfest, let you feel the aroma of delicious sausages, allow you to be part of a family celebration, and taste baked goose prepared according to a recipe that is already 200 years old! Don’t worry, the recipe will also be found in the book! For a while, the reader will seemingly become a member of an international family, get to know German neighbors, visit a local university, converse with a doctor who treats with stories about his grandson, and become a full-fledged member of German society. Karina's stories will bring a charge of optimism, joy, and good mood and will help understand that the main thing is to carry the sun inside oneself. Then happiness can be found anywhere in the world. The book is for those who love to travel and read exciting, funny, and delicious stories from locals about different countries.
