Germany, a land of diversity has got some notable days to celebrate. The ‘reunification day’, celebrated on October 3 annually, is a national day. Marking the reunification of Germany in 1990, we celebrate the day across the country and take part in events. Before the unification of Germany, it was divided into several states and kingdoms. But this unification has brought everything under a single shade. This is a nice cue card task for a candidate like me and I love to answer such smart questions. Here are the remaining answers

The celebration of the day is adorable. The Germans celebrate the across the major cities of the country. Large ceremonial activities take place and people participate in the activities and also have fun. Sometimes, the state capital hosts the celebration and in some other times, the non-state capitals host it. A good number of citizens participate in the events and the political leaders deliver their speeches. Concerts are also held. Communal meal is another important way of celebrating this event

The day is historically important. The idea of a unified Germany was underway since the middle of the century. But the idea could not be materialized for numerous reasons. The country experienced different political changes, several wars and much more important aspects that did not allow the unification to happen. Finally, in 1990, after lots of attempts, the unification took place and the day has been observed as a national holiday since then

I feel special celebrating this day. All the workplaces and services remain closed, but some emergency services are stores remain open to meet emergencies. I love walking on the streets on this day and greet people. There are no public transports or crowds of office-going people. But some points are excessively crowded with people celebrating the event
