#23 Travelogue Germany: What’s a village?
It bothers me sometimes that in Uzbekistan I cannot proudly say that I come from a village because people have their own Uzbek idea of what a village is. So, what makes a village a village? Let me compare it with some aspects of Uzbek village life:
Farming
2% of Germans work in the agricultural sector compared to 28% of Uzbeks. German villages often have industrial zones and hardly anyone works in agriculture. Germany imports a lot of food.
Unpaved roads
Such roads are hard to find in German villages, only really between fields or in the forest.
Economy
People in a German village usually own cars, many families have two cars. This is different from cities where people can live without owning a car. In Germany it’s the richer and the poorer people living in cities. Villages are home to the country’s middle class.
---Vocab---
📍sth bothers sb = sth annoys sb 📍hardly anyone = almost no one
