Changes of attitude

When I came here, everybody was kind of agraid of eachother. But, people starting to get to know eachother. It was easier though to get to know those who either came from the same country or that spoke the same language, and a lot of the time it was both, but not always the case. Now though, it seems though a lot of people are getting comfotable with other groups and the such. If we spent a couple more weeks here, it may be that it would develop even more, quite possibly to the point that we would see a split where people would kind of separate themselves or start to distance themselves from the people who they got to know that annoyed them. I have not paid too much attention to the culture necessarily of Germany although people here seem to be really friendly but not everyone smiles. Algthough, it is not true that everybody in Cincinnati smiles, I feel though that people are more willing to smile Cincinnati. But I have to say that people do stop for you at the cross walks and that people can be more apt to help you in certain cases here.
