Come take a Jog with me into American Culture.

 Stefan Schirmer a man from Germany came to America and noticed the culture difference right way. He arrives into the city of Chicago, and notices many people jogging and running to get exercise. Stefan found this really odd. He thought it was weird that Americans wake up every morning at 5 A.M. just to go running with the car traffic breathing in toxic fumes from the cars waiting to move another inch.
  He states him and his family from Germany have never been runners, and when he came here everyone seemed to be a runner. Stefan remembers when aerobics washes over into his continent, But when it came too running it never became a popular thing. He thinks there is no point of sweating alone when there is other sports he can play like soccer. Americ
 Americans will do anything to maintain that fit body image. If that means they have to wake up every morning to go jogging they are going to do it. They have fallen into that pattern. I never really thought about how weird it is to run or jog. As a runner i never actually thought about how crazy i am for running in a circle just, or how crazy for running up to 6 miles a day. When i read this it really opened my eyes to see how different cultures react to other cultures.
