Since I remember, I've said to myself that I will let Germany amons the last on my trip-list. Well, it seems that Germany's turn came ahead other countries on the list and that pretty fast!
Once you enter in this country, see the difference. Or it could be only in my head. The roads are great and gears you to check how fast your car can go. What I can say that I've noticed, was the lack of pump stations immediately in the highways nearby. Eather you should wait a lot to track one, or you should leave the highway to find one in the core of a small town or village.
Germany has also lots of forests, which makes you feel a particulary refreshment, specially sommers. Contrary the well known oppinion about the german cleanliness, I ve seen a lot of trash, even on the street deliberatelly thrown. As a tourist, one will choose to see the big cities or the great seightseeings and definetelly will not have enough time to realize a piece of paper or I don't know what other garbage thrown. Once you get to stay longer in Germany, you realize that the germans are also people, with their own weeknesses and strong points. So, Germany it may not be the cleanest country one can visit, it may not be the most beautiful, atractive, but definatelly desearves to be visited! So, viel Spaß!!

Young Generation
I have eperienced the big cities as well as the small ones. When it comes about speaking english, one can realize that is almost unknown, excepting the young people. However, they are not so found of it in the small towns. The young generation reinforce and it seems that the german language will be known in the future as ge-englisch, simillary to other languages, for example hi-nglish, in India.
Travelling often by bus, I came to observe the people, specially the young ones. I cannot yet decide myself to conclude briefly about them...they listen to heavy metal music, got piercings, are bold. I wonder if that's a charactheristic of the young generation all over the world. Most likely.

About german product quality
Probably everyone has heard about the german seriosity: German product? Quality guaranteed!
I got to experience the many products manufactured in Germany and I can say that most of them were exactly as presented. In Germany exists since long time ago a cult in using their own products and raising them at the rank of high quality,for which ,yet not less times, it's been paid a pretty low price!
I think all myths are to be demolished. Once one get to live in this country, can realize that not everything is as rosy as one thought, as one dreamed. They have also plenty of strange types that repel at first sight. It is possible that in the future the situation to take another turn and this seriosity to become history.
The today's young people are increasingly outcasts in the bad way, smokes and drinks at the younger and younger age, listen to aggressive music and doesn't proof politeness and respect in front of seniors. Towards which direction does it goes? Remains to be seen.
What made now and then the Germans to be blessed by such an economy and therefore the life style conditions? The seriousness of their work, yet dedicated ambition, "Genetic Sett-up" to be the best at what they do.
Take the example of the german cars. One can buy a very good car, reliable for a low price. The well known labels like VolksWagen, Audi, or Opel can be bought also at(with?)low prices, without cutting off quality.
The cheap food products found in hypermarkts are not to be thrown away! People get here the product exactly as presented and seldom gets to be disappointed.
The german product quality is indeed guarateed and tested over the years.
