One of the first things that surprised me during the first few weeks in Stuttgart, the fact that there are Ads all around the U-bahn station in Turkish advertising free 60 minutes with the company Turkcell. (see image on the right).
Is integration a current problem that Germany is facing? Velleicht. We had an excursion yesterday with our cross-communication class to the Haus der Geschichte. It was an amazing tour, with heaps of information about the history of Germay starting approximatly Napoleon time till Germany today. He talked about the different waves of migration that occured throughout the German history due to Economic or Religious reasons - were germans fled to different countries.
We reached the Germany Today section and our tour guide showed us a sign, that is normally in shops around Deutschland. A CCTV warning sign in three languages - German, English and Turkish. The tour guide's explanation was as follows: the fact that there are people living in Germany, who don't yet speak the national language is an integration problem. It might be true. It's one prespective.
Another prespective might be the fact, the migration is a long process, that takes years and sometimes even decades for people to fully integrate.
Das ist alles for now.
