german naming customs

germans are polite people

they are also shy and respectful of other people's space.

this is why, as you approach someone in a camping ground at the last moment eyes are uplifted and meet yours.

a word is uttered, you utter it back - it's what you do.

 

in the camp kitchen where there is more opportunity for conversation the same applies.

a polite acknowledgement of your presence - but still a shyness.

no one asks your name

so neither do you.

 

you don't need to ask someone's name anyway.

it is the same one they call you.

it is the universal name.

morgan.
