week before the weekend, from Friday to Monday (6 - 9.05.) spent with my cousin in Kutzleben Ursula (Thuringia, south of East Germany, near Erfurt). The reason was very sad - the funeral of her mother, and my Aunt - Mary. We went there the four of us - Eva (sister), Ola (niece), my mother and me. The route had more than 750 km, but the mother, despite nearly 82 years, but decided to travel. Fortunately, the weather was. It was warm and sunny. The funeral was on Saturday morning. Held in Kutzleben. Previously, my aunt lived several miles away, but moved to her daughter when she was already older. The cemetery in this village, whose building resembles a small town (he lives there, about 450 people), is communal. Is perfectly maintained. Grass trimmed short. Beautifully shaped tree. As I remember how our municipalities in Kościerskie (with a sharp cut or trimmed trees), it only envy the Germans. The ceremony itself was also different than in Poland. There was a funeral mass in a church, cemetery chapel, only prayers and refused to resume aunt recalled. Entering the cemetery, who are not close family, entered in a special book of condolence. At the tomb became a worker's funeral, which was holding an armful of roses. Handed to each one. Before the grave were two bowls. One earth, one with boxwood.
Some other people also live there. A stroll through the Kutzleben strangers, people spoke to me "Good morning". After entering the store I hear "Gruesse Gott" from the seller. At every house on the press box as a cylinder open on both sides. Theoretically, anyone can remove the paper from it. I do not know how it is in other houses, but in everyday cousins \u200b\u200bare purchased from three newspapers. On the next weekend. The Catholic weekly, is the format of the Republic and are in the text ... Catholic, and not political, that is with us PiSowskie.
noticed also that the Germans are crazy to the point superpozytywnie ecology. This scene will tell. One day I watched as my cousin collects empty plastic bottle cap. 1.5 liters of beverage and mineral waters. I was surprised that it is niezgniecione to some cells and put the bag there. I say to her: "Ursula, I'll show you what I do in Poland with such bottles." I take one of them, I put on the floor and treat it with the heel to crush. Cousin in a scream. What is it? It turns out that for each of them, provided that it is marked with a green dot, is the whole and has a label, gets a quarter of euro. The same happens with the majority of beverage cans. Her husband showed me a special book, which they got from the company collecting the waste. There is a schedule of their visits, the instruction to which litter bags and containers to throw. There are also postcards, which are sent to them when you are holding an unusual waste, such an old washing machine or refrigerator, and furniture. After a maximum weekly charge will come and collect. I am shocked. With me on the estate to the same "bell" put paper and plastic bottles. For free! Circled a few of their towns. At the monument I have not noticed any banners or ads. A lot of them on TV or on paper, but the landscape itself does not pollute them. In our critique of this type of behavior resembles writing on Berdychiv. The state of their highways, streets and highways, it is a shame to write. Somehow I never noticed patches and potholes. Repairing it as well, but unless they do so without the need for locks and protests. Condition of the highway between the two local German pipidówami, such as roads Ogorzeliny - Sławęcin is much, much better than "berlinki" near Gorzow. I invited my German relatives to visit in Poland, but I will loyally warned them about the state of our roads. Photo at the top - Home avenue in the cemetery during the funeral of Aunt Kutzleben.
