To understand a country
You might start from airliner
To understand a city
You might start from airport
In a unfamiliar country
With a unfamiliar language
In a unfamiliar city
Through a unfamiliar highway
To find a unfamiliar hotel
Located in unfamiliar street
Not just Swan Lake
Not just Neuschwanstein Castle
Not just high-speed trains
Not just luxury cars
Not just cool beers
Not just delicious sausages
It is a land of poetry
It is a land of philosophy
It is a land of discipline
It is a land of efficiency
