I was born near Bonn (the former capital of Germany)
where I grew up and still live.
This makes me a pure
Rheinländer, as the people
living along the Rhine in the area from Cologne/Bonn to
Düsseldorf are called.
I have always enjoyed living in this area.
Not because of the
Kölsch beer
Cologne is famous for,
but because of the mentality and attitude of the people living here.
I think in general you can say that
Rheinländer have
a great sense of humour (not only during the
5th season,
which is what they call the time around carnival).
