I agree with ptinfrance. I had a French friend when I was studying in France who always carried a hanky. She even offered it to me a couple of times when I needed to blow my nose.

Germans like discussing Sports except they might not be so interested in foreign teams/sports… especially when it comes to German soccer teams you might have a seemingly endless discussion. What might happen though: your conversation partner might not share your interested in sports OR at least in the same discipline. So just ask before starting to go nuts on the topic
