2, strange wedding customs: In the street, every bride wears casual clothes, just wearing a simple wedding headdress, surrounded by a group of girlfriends. Newcomers here often dress themselves up briefly before the wedding, and then the bride-to-be, his girlfriend, the groom-to-be and his boyfriend go shopping together and sell some things or daily necessities they used when they were single in a basket. Passers-by knew at a glance that they were getting married, and many people would pay for it. The more they buy, the better their omen will be. In addition, according to German custom, friends of the groom or bride will give them a strange task the night before the wedding, and then men will accompany the groom or girl to complete the task. For example, the bride dresses up as the devil and collects socks from strangers, and collects kisses from young men by spending 1 euro to get a kiss from the bride-to-be.

3. Buildings with small doors and large windows: In Germany, residential buildings have a feature: the small doors and windows are oversized, and there is a big iron hook on the top side of the building. This unique architectural way comes from an early custom, which is beneficial to ventilation and lighting in order to facilitate the entry and exit of furniture. In addition, Germans, who have always been famous for their preciseness, also insist on "preciseness" in their windows. Every household is basically a figure-of-eight white gauze curtain, and there are all kinds of small decorations unique to Kobanawa on the windows, and they are basically outward. In the street, you can enjoy this unique decoration at any time. Residents living by the road have also built kitchens, bathrooms and bathrooms that don't need much sunshine. The windows are particularly narrow and sealed, and the bedroom and living room are all facing away from the road, with big windows open. The courtyard inside the building gets good light while avoiding noise.
