Handbook on German Friendliness

In order to prepare for the World Cup, the German folk have been given training manuals to help them become friendlier.

I like how they've focused on Australians and how they should be greeted with "G'day" but I thought the victory sign being an offensive signal when performed with palms facing inwards ("up yours!") was fairly universal and not just for Aussies?

In my admittedly limited experience, I reckoned Germans were a rather friendly lot--not like the Welsh and the Scots (no free alcohol!) but very good at giving detailed directions about places to go and how to find them. Perfect for a directionally-challenged person like me.
