About the last one, I remember being positively surprised by how little 'happens' in terms of news in Germany, compared to back in Turkey. Leaving that feeling of impending doom, as if something bad is waiting just around the corner, and most of your small talk now being about shitty weather or whatever.
Then COVID and Russia happened, and now the world is catching up in doom and gloom. :)
On the other hand, I find these attitudes hypocritical when it comes to war and Ukraine. As if suddenly, these people realized war is bad. Turkish people have been facing it since 2003, if we talk about terrorism we may have to go back even further.
The Syrian War was never discussed, but now everyone is talking about the Ukraine War, and no action is taken instead of painting big buildings yellow and blue.
