Seifenblasen.
As in: Blowing Bubbles.
Yes, I know the act of blowing bubbles is not exclusive to Deutschland, but it was here that I personally rediscovered it. (And here there are so many beautiful parks in which to do it.)
It is a truly brilliant thing to do. Magical even. And the therapeutic qualities are so easily overlooked. There is no way - after a mere five or so minutes of bubble blowing - that one can help feeling less stressed, more optimistic, and subjected to a greater sense of well being. (I reckon this is an activity that could easily be exploited by facilitators of executive stress management courses.)
And a small container of bubbles can be had for as little as 89 cents. Brilliant! I'm urging everybody to try it.

Dream is to have a permanent place in both hemispheres and the means to travel betweeen. Am lucky to have family & friends in far-flung corners of the globe but, where ever I am, I'm missing someone terribly. Prone to procrastination and to wearing pajamas and animal ears - I often find myself outside my comfort zone...life seems to be a continually- vertical learning curve...

I don't understand why this is a brilliant thing about Germany! I would suggest that it would be just as wonderful anywhere in the world - it gets down to allowing oneself to relax and enjoy the simple things in life, and yes bubbles are one of them.
Keep Blowing - and laughing. The best medicine.
