a point of view

Germany its a multicultural country, and that might be an aspect most people don't focus to enjoy while they are there. Its well known that this is a country with personality and an ancient culture but it is such a caleidoscopic society that as a traveller i told myself why not to go ahead and enjoy that part of the culture.
It was a cold Sunday in Köln and the family that hosted me in Germany asked me if I wanted to join them in their family meeting. There a little girl opened the door, she speaks in vietnamese and I smile, as a native spanish speaker I realized that was going to be a special meal. The little girl was taking us through a long corridor and we got to a small dining room.
In the dining room there was only a old man sitting in a wheelchair, sleeping, but the party was in the kitchen where my host-mother run in to join the loudly crowd. The table was done, the only thing I could was wait, the old man woke up, looked at me and started shouting to the kitchen, nobody seemed to care, but one by one this ladies started to come out of the kitchen with lots of food.Something was different, from where I was seated I could only see the heads of these people, when I came closer to say hi, I realized none of them had legs, they were in small wheelchairs, some of them didn't even have arms and had a number of deformations.
Shocked by the context Ii was even more shocked when we started to eat, at that time I wasn't aware of how eating habits and manners are in southern asia, and I learned right away, with all the burps, and eating with hands, all together was a lot of information and I could see myself, an argentinian, in Germany, surrounded by the Vietnamese community, without understanding a word, without knowing how to eat or behave in the table, without nobody to share the experience, and i was loving it.
That day I reminded again of what war does, all these fine ladies were childs when USA decided to invade Vietnam, their country was destroyed, their family was destroy, they were destroy. This community I was having lunch with, belongs to the number of child refugees that Germany accepts and has accepted for a long time, people that didn't have a chance, or anything, become family in different country. I realized that love is something you will find anywhere, I discovered a new side of a country that gaved a lot of people opportunities to recreate and find what they had lost, something that says a lot about it but travellers don't seem to care.
