It's Morning all Day in the North!

It is being said that people from "the North" are not very talkative, although they invented social gatherings such as teetied, but they prefer it to be a quiet time. Naturally they have mastered to reduce the ritual of salutation to the max:

Moin! (Good Morning!) The greeting works for all times of the day, and all situations of life.
Moin! Said with emphasis means: So nice to see you, I wish you a wonderful day.
Moinmoin. Is for the chatty kind.

Another example of an elaborate conversation:
Hm. With a nod it is meant as an agreement, but it could also have a pensive meaning: I don't quite believe what you're saying...
Hm? Whats going on? Really? I can't believe what's happening! Or something along the line...

Due to the minimalistic style of communication the rest of the world is kept under the impression that Northern Germans are a bit slow and stupid. Everybody is poking fun at Eastern Friesians, there are jokes like how many of this kind you need to change a light bulb etc., coming to think of it, aren't there very similar to jokes going around about Newfies?

And of course Eastern Friesian fashion consists of oilskin and rubber boots all the time. The waterproof yellow garment is being called Eastern Friesian mink after the mustelids, which are farmed locally and skinned at a young age in order to produce the flattering attire. That's a fact.

When the sun is out one gets to wear blue and white striped shirts and red scarfs, and don't forget to match it with white pants... and then we go for a ritual walk in the mud, it's true.

Eastern Friesians are very business minded. For example, they rent out apartments to city slickers promoting an ocean view, and all they get is a tidal flat vista, which is basically a mud field, the water is almost never to be seen.

Oh well, what can I say, it's simply the greatest region of Germany, and the natives are very smart. I'm part Eastern Friesian, and proud of it.

Die deutschsprachigen LeserInnen werden ja so ziemlich alles über "den Ostfriesen" kennen, schließlich haben wir ja dafür unseren ostfriesischen Botschafter Otto geschickt, aber damit sich auch der Rest der (deutschen) Welt ein Bild von dieser besonderen Gattung Mensch machen kann, schreibe ich diesmal nur in Englisch...
