A different culture, to be sure \u2014 though I wouldn\u2019t have been confident enough in my knowledge of German and European culture to say that it\u2019s distinctly German, as opposed to just European. \u00a0(After all, the practice of men wearing speedos when swimming is European-wide, and there was an article floating around a while back about an American ex-pat in France creeped out by the fact that his local public pool banned long swim trunks as unhygenic.) \u00a0Makes me curious as to whether there are bigger cultural differences underlying this. \u00a0What do you think?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
