German Honesty: Why You Should Never Ask "How Are You?" | Your Inner German

Germans are direct and honest - some might say, perhaps a little too honest! Whenever they're asked the simple question "How are you?", they won't hesitate to tell the painful truth. Euromaxx reporter Josephine Günther takes a closer look at these kinds of situations - and is constantly confronted with her own "inner German", both an angel and a devil! She judges everything according to stereotypical German standards and has plenty to complain about. So, just how typically German is typically German?
When are you honest – and when would you rather lie? Let us know in the comments!
