🇩🇪 5 BIG Differences between the US and Germany - FIRST MONTH Living in Germany as Americans! 

What are some FUN differences you see between Germany and the US? We are a lighthearted couple and would love to hear some funny ones! ⬇⬇⬇

A few here have already advised you to do so: take some driving lessons at a German Fahrschule. Not only to familiarize you with the gear shift, but also with the traffic rules, some of which are different from those in the US. Especially in inner cities and on the Autobahn.

The greatest bonus about living in Germany which ever direction you go you wind up in a popular tourist destination. 😯

Hi, you two. I grew up in Germany greatest experience ever didn't wanted too come back too America always have something to explore. Even visit my mother hometown Stuttgart. 😊

Your dining experiences made me smile. To put it exaggerated, dining in Germany is like shopping in the US and vice versa. For dining on most places you take your time and nobody will somehow force you to leave (even politely) after you finished your meal. Same shopping in the US at the cashiers desk, having a longer chit chat is not an issue. And shopping in Germany you want to be fast at the cashiers desk like in a US restaurant where they want your table for serving other customers when you're done... 😉

A small explanation of German bed accessories. Two mattresses are healthier because they can be chosen individually. A side sleeper needs a different mattress than someone who sleeps on their back, or someone who freezes easily needs a different mattress than someone who sweats easily, a fit 6.3ft. and 100kg man needs an other than a 5.3ft and 50kg woman. You can also cover your own mattress with a fitted sheet made from the fabric you prefer. For example, my partner likes terry cloth, I hate it, I want cotton or silk. For the gap between the mattresses - which we call the "guest gap" (Gästeritz) - there are wedges that can be used to cover it. This makes sense if the offspring would like to spend the night between the parents. The same applies to the duvets, apart from the fact that your own duvet is not pulled away from you, everyone can take the duvet they prefer, - light or heavy, down, cotton or silk, warm or rather cooling. About the pillows: Traditionally, we had more than one pillow in our bed, actually at least three. One that only lay on the made bed during the day and was only supposed to look nice. The bulging parade pillow (Paradekissen). Then a taller pillow, which you pushed under the thin pillow intended for sleeping if you wanted to sleep half-sitting or if you wanted to sit up in bed and read. The actual sleeping pillow is rather thin, with little filling. You fold it in the middle and put the top half up at the head end, then your head is protected from banging on the board or railing. You can distribute the filling in the pillow as you need it. For example, I prefer to sleep flat, so I shake up 2/3 of the filling. When I'm lying on my side, I need a little more filling, so I pull on it and shake it off again. Nevertheless, ever since the standardized 80x80cm pillows have existed, there have always been 40x80cm pillows and of course 40x40cm pillows and even 20x80 neck pillows. You should just go to a bedding shop and not to IKEA. The 80x80cm pillowcases fit all these pillows. You just have to fold them properly. There are a few tricks and an 80x80cm cover becomes a 40x40cm cover. The duvet cover was originally only intended for feather beds, because most of them were not sewn up properly and new down was added again and again. So that they didn't fly around, you needed a sack-like cover. With the light woolen blankets in summer you only had a simple cover, like yours in the US, a cover which lies below the woolen blanket. Less common is tucking in, what we only do with small children.

I can think of better and nicer things than Grocery Shopping on a Sunday😂

12:50 u can go to a driving school and take one or 2 Hours for getting comfortable with Stick cars. I think there is no problem to get this. 14:30 Remember u can get for Mai the first a monthly public transportation ticket for 49€ a month for complete Germany (but there are no ICE or IC (long "fast" distance trains included, but u can use the Publictransportation of all Citys and Trains like RE,RB, S etc.pp)

bakeries usually open sunday mornings until 11.30 ish . so you can still manage to get stuff if youre up early.

Having two matresses as a couple and having seperate duvets has its advantages. Couples often have a different need of temperature and especially with matresses need a different durability to be healthy for their backs. If it is about duvets - I have a combination of two duvets - one for the summer, one for spring/autumn that you can combine in the winter - I do not heat my bedroom. I do not like the square pillows that are standard - I use the ones half size (40 x 80) and have two of them. Even if the standard size is 80 x 80 (cm) for the pillows and 135 x 200 for the duvets - today you can get a much bigger range to choose from - sometimes you just have to search longer or have to order it. About the train ride - are you sure 2 rides were less expensive than the day ticket? Here in the Rhein Main area either with RMV or Deutsche Bahn it is the same price.

Love how knowledgeable you guys are

I really like the fact that things are closed on Sunday! It feels like the only things that are actually closed on Sundays around here are little knickknack shops, and hobby lobby. 😂 also, your make up is flawless in this video❤

You two are so nice, open and funny. Fun to watch and listen to. Maybe you first drive a few laps on a traffic training course: Verkehrsübungsplatz Restaurants in Europe live more on the drinks than the food, so there is no rush.

That was fun. I never heard the pigeon one before. 😄

Actually the name of the duvets are commonly referred to as an feather bed. The good quality ones will not have the feather stems that polk through the shell. 😯

You can easily ask for a "Leitungswasser" in any restaurant for a free still water in top quality.

For everyone who comes to Germany and wants to drive a car here, here's a tip: look for a "driving school" and buy 2 hours with a driving instructor. It's not because you can't drive, but he can give you valuable tips.

We never think of some of the differences in other countries besides the obvious ones. This was really fun to hear.

Hi, thanks for the video and have fun discovering and learning. I'm German and live in Hamburg, so in the north. You will definitely explore the other regions as well. Did you actually tell why you moved to Germany? I hadn't seen it.

Yes, it was funny 😉. I like how positive you are. Well, about the bedding what you need depends. It depends in your matresssize and the size of your blankets. Of course all the measurements are in centimeter. That's just our system. The cushions are normally 80x80 cm. The story about your new coat ist good. Cute. Have fun 😀

First of all, welcome to Germany! As a local, it's sometimes funny and at the same time fascinating to hear what you've noticed so far, apart from the usual clichés. For example, the thing with the comforters ;-) Enjoy your time! I'm already looking forward to more interesting observations!

Regarding learning to drive a car with stick shift and the traffic rules, you may consider taking a couple of lessons at the driving school. Not cheap, but definitely worth it.

I would like to say something personal to you: 1. You both narrate the events so wonderfully that I hang on your lips. 2. Recently there is for a few years a new way in Germany to show a particularly great sympathy for a person. One then says "I would very much like to live next to this person." Actually, there is no "higher" compliment in Germany. I would very much like to live next to you.

I lived in Germany for 17 years and was married to a German, so I know pretty much everything about the country.

many of the food products that you find in every supermarket in the US. are banned over here in Europe they are considered dangerous for your health but alowed in the Us. Work life balance is a big thing in Europe

Servers/waiters etc are paid a mandated minimum living wage. So they don't have to rush you to get more customers, to get tips, to get a decent wage. Apparently the U.S is the only country in the World that does not have a set minimum wage. For example U.S McDonalds staff get around $7 an hour , whereas in Sweden it is $22, because the law insists on a decent living minimum wage

About the restaurants... We dont really go to the restaurant THAT often, because frankly speaking, the food there is EXPENSIVE. We mostly cook our food ourself. It depends on the household really. We (our household) like to cook BIG patches which lasts us 2-4 Days. And if we dont want to cook we just eat bread. (BTW... I really dont understand why German bread is not more known around the world, because our Bread culture is amazing) And for the Restaurants its more like a special thing to do. Weekend out, something to celebrate, meeting up with friends... minimum 90% of our food we prepare ourself.

Love your vids guys 👍🏻

Great videos so far, keep it up 👍 Track suits and gym clothes are ok to wear outside in an everyday setting, you won't get many funny looks, but most people only wear them if they're actually outside to do some sort of physical exercise, like running. Not as general purpose street clothes. The latter would be a bit tacky to many Germans. Like you're not making a minimal effort to look nice when leaving the house 😉 The huge pigeons you're referring to are probably the common wood pigeon. It's one of the world's largest pigeon species.

“Puffer coats” are worn in winter to keep warm and prevent getting sick…

always nice and informative videos from you two. chocolate delicious. 🍫 Luckily everyone has a blanket, if my wife wants to freeze then please, but I want it warm and cuddly. Greetings from Kiel👍👌😘

You have hung up the German flag incorrectly. The black stripe belongs to the left when you hang it this way.

Welcome to Germany, looking forward, when you find more and more differences.

Beer, no I like British beer but when my daughter and I spent a few days in Berlin we went onto a floating bar for a drink, it was a hot day! The beer I had was the best I had ever tasted. I had one medium glass, walking down the gangplank off the boat where the bar was, I nearly fell off. I hadn’t realised how strong the beer was!!! Hilarious!

And here I thought 2 comforters was my idea! 😂😂

thats really nice what you have bring up just after 1 month of living here. i guess that you will get more and more shocks, but please keep doing vids like this. i am sure with the time beeing you stay in germany you will have a different sight of the shocks you get now. i am sure you understand this commetary sometimes *g* greetings

Make sure you have a Healthcare insurance. In most of the European Countries this is very important. The insurance covers you in almost all cases. We almost never pay for a Healthcare from our Pockets.

The size of pigeons are influenced by the traffic in a city. High traffic results in smaller pigeons because the weight/wing ratio is better. If smaller they are more likely do avoid oncoming traffic. On the other hand bigger bodies are better in resisting cold weather. Lager pigeons have more fat reserves and the surface to volume ratio is better. They are also quite well protected from flying hunters like the European kestrel so agility is not that important. So pigeons in car free cities in Germany are lager than in comparable cities in the USA. There is even a North/South difference in body size in Europe. But this is about how well they can store and dispense Heat. The hotter the environment the smaller the pigeon.

I think you also need to remember that you can't feed the pigeons if you don't want to get a ticket!! But I'm not sure that's also in Germany because I'm from Belgium.. 😄 Loved your video. It's the first I see of you guys.. good job 👍😃 And yes, driving is insane in Europe!! Also, be very careful with other drivers. There are, in the latest years, some really crazy aggressive people who would step out and come for you!! These days, it's all, I'm in my car 15 minutes too late, but I'll get that time in so everybody get the h out of my way.. 🙄 Also be very careful when walking ore going to an event for pocket pickers!! And yes, Sunday's is a holy day for only fun and relaxation.. 😄😋 Hope you have a great time, and if you love chocolate, try some Belgium ones.. 😜 Also fries 🍟 😋 😘😘

Restaurants After the first order and as part of the service, we Germans usually have the friendliness to accept someone's privacy and only approach us when the other person signals to do so. This is usually done with eye contact, a smile, a friendly nod, or raising your hand to signal a waiter, for example. Although he does appear in the meantime to clear away empty plates or glasses, he may also ask at this point if everything is ok or if you would like anything else. Only rarely, however, will a waiter offensively interrupt the conversations at the table in order to perhaps snag an order. We Germans usually find this forcible invasion of privacy or rude pressure from salespeople to be impolite. In such a case, the seller must already have a lot of charm. The waitresses usually look around the restaurant to catch those signals. Furthermore, for us, a stay in the restaurant is not just a process of eating, but primarily serves to socialize with family or friends. After the meal we sit together, talk and have a drink. It is common that you at least consume something, but there are only very few restaurants that actually work with fixed time windows and guests complimented out after the meal.

Hello, the construction site area, yellow lane markings cancel out the white ones

Lovely video. 👍

My (as a German) first thought was: Hey, is it Fußballweltmeisterschaft again? The thing with the flag in the background makes many Germans uncomfortable. I cannot speak for all of us, but my opinion and the one I observe around me is that I am happy to be a German, but I am not proud of it.

There is a thing called 49 Euro Ticket - Available now and you can drive with all buses and trains in hole Germany for this price for a whole month - starts at May 2023 - It suits not for the express trains like Intercity and so - but the usually trains and buses bring you everywhere in Germany for this small amount.

For being so short in Germany you have discovered a lot of things. I didn't expect you to know the Blitzer feaure. But I guess you did your research. Which many Americans don't do as far as I take it from YT. As for the wildlife. The biggest are the deer. Next are wolves and boars. What you showed as jackrabbits are actually rabbits. They live right in the cities. I used to watch them from my office building. But it is very rare to see a jackrabbit downtown. Because they don't build build rabbit holes where they can hide. And therefore they don't have much cover in public parks. The like tp put their ears up while the rabbits have shorter ones which they let rest on their backs.

If you're in an urgent need for groceries on a Sunday, just go to FRA Airport, you'll find multiple options there. And speaking of pigeons: they're a French delicacy many French Restaurants in GER have on the menu. So delicious and absolutely worth trying at least once....... 😀

Driving isn't aggressive. It just that German drivers don't just buy their drivers license but have to learn to drive secure with a lot awareness for each other. So we just learned to drive in the conditions we have

Funny video. You are an adorable couple. And your husband got a pretty wife 😉i can not addy any difference between the US and Germany as i have not lived in USA. USA is 1000 times larger than Germany. It is whole North America, so yeah. Germany is everything so narrow. While in the US you need to drive hundreds of kilometers, miles i mean sorry, to see sightseeings, like famous nature or impressive things like Grand Canyon or Niagarafalls or large woods and stuff andof course you need to drive hundreds of miles between cities to see stuff, which takes time. In Germany it is so much to offer you need lots time to see all. I read some americans flipp out about the eggs, not stored in refrigators or get crazy about eating rawr meat. A bit strange in german is the way we speak out the numbers. While in english it is the opposite. Like 21, it is twenty-one as in german it is one and twenty. 25 is five and twenty or 578 is fivehundred eight and sventy. I want to mention a thing, i forget to in my last comment. You are normally not allowed to film inside a Schloss or if so, then just without lightning. Just want to mention if filming is a crtieria for

16:55 Good thing they are big so they can bring coloured hens eggs to children when easter comes around. The "Osterhase" (Easter Hare) has sadly been wrongly translated into English as the Easter Bunny. The Jackrabbit (Hare) is different from (bunny) rabbits.

First of all, Welcome to Germany. You will notice much more differences to the US and at least I hope you will feel well. Yes, go for longer trips and experience the different parts, cultures, food even slang in Germany. Of course would be better using a car to be much more independent and also hidden historical or tiny gems of Germany can be discovered by you much more easier. Lets wait for your next video. CU

We drive fast so that we can relax longer afterwards 😂

Tap-water in germany is by law the most testet, most regulated and most controlled food.

When I first visited 'Not US,' I was really surprised that it was 'Not US.'

No free drinks at restaurants: food&beverage calculation differs from USA to Germany. All the fixed costs, taxes prime costs for the goods and the higher wages for the staff. To still have affordable food the profit is mostly generated via beverage. As german law stipilates that at least one non-alcoholic beverage has to be cheaper (per liter) than the cheapest alcoholic beverage (per liter), the cheapest non-alcololic beverage ends up to be water (if you do not go for the fancy ones). The only way to get free tab water is in some european countries due to the coffee culture where you will be served a glass of water to your coffee as coffee dehydrates you. I´ve experienced this in Germany only in restaurants where they serve Mocca. Also: Croatian, Italian and Greek restaurants have been known to serve a local liquor with the bill 😀

It is funny to listen to you about being excited about Germany, since I lived 23 years in Germany, before I moved to the America. Too many problems in Germany when I listen to the German News.

For shopping on Sunday try your train Station, at least if you are in a bigger City. They will charge you an arm and a leg but you will get your essentials if you have forgotten something under the week. BTW Be aware of Trude the Devilspigeon. (Trude die Teufeldtaube, by DÖF [German - Austrian friendship a Band from the 80is])

Congratulations on your puffer coat 😂😂 Puffer coat it it 😂

The drinks are usually what makes the most profit for a restaurant / café here because staff salaries are one of the main expenses for those places. So everything that isn't labor intensive (like preparing drinks) makes a lot of money compared to the stuff that takes a lot of work and time (like cooking and preparing food). That's the main reason why you are not allowed to bring your own drinks and why there is no free tab water (except for maybe a small glass that you get with your coffee). I worked in a german café for a few years and we had to try to actively sell more drinks to customers. I hated that because - as you said - it is common in Germany to just leave people alone while they are eating and I hated to go to tables again and again asking if they want another drink because it often felt like disturbing people in their private conversations.

knoedel are dumplings and bigger to dip I gravy

Wait for hot nights in late July, when all the neighborhood cats start the mating competition rituals😂@crazy wildlife

Told you the food is better here 😂 Another difference: German women many times don't wear make up... I know this is a big thing in the US. Have fun in Germany!!

there are good youtube posts about driving on the Autobahn. yellow lines on the road have priority and overwrite the white lines and the most important thing is that you always drive on the right so that fast traffic can overtake you. If you drive in the middle and don't overtake and everything in the right lane is free, you won't make friends, because then everyone on the left will have to overtake you in the only free lane.

Now if those pidgeons are big because of the good food, mind their example. It might not only happen to the birds! Regarding the pace of life: If you drive faster, you have more time to slow down the rest of your time. There’s some logic behind it! And seriously: Driving is just like a hobby for many people (and so are the cars), so people just enjoy it.

Next time you are in Cologne you should visit the “Brauhaus Schreckenskammer“ and have the best Kölsch of Köln.

German drivers are not aggressive, just stay on the right lane, left lanes are only for over taking... And watch out for motoway jams stay on sides so emergency vehicles can get through if there is a traffic jam

To control the population of city pigeons German city departments feed them with grains, where they mix birth control pills in. It works! 🙂

It´s always amazing to see that Americans still think the water they get served is free. Nothing is free in life!

Sorry, but the flag in the background is hanging wrong. The color is black-red-gold, so when hung upright the view goes from left to right. So there should be black on the left - red in the middle - yellow (gold) on the right. As a German it hurts my eyes, I don't hang your flag with the star field facing down to the right. Please don't take this as a complaint but as a little hint for the future - thank you.

Usually you can buy a train ticket a week or two in advance. No need to book it like months ahead.

Hi, first of all: Welcome to Germany! I have lived in the US the last 1,5 years. In which area do you live? Because there are some differences between the german regions as well.

What´s your profession, and how long you wanna stay in Germany!

Sleep on separate mattresses is also healthier, because you are not disturbed when the other moves. Say sleep scientist

Puffer coats are all the rage here. Yoga pants are not very popular here. Denim is what is considered the causal clothing here. My European friend complains about how no one drives sticks here. Americans are very warm and customer service in the US is very immersive. Here in Quebec we are very European but we are a little more involved in customer service as many pf us spend a lot of time in the USA.

220x200 German comforter would work fine

yeah not bringing a bottle into a restaurant here in germany is an unspoken Rule, you can but they dont like to see it

Welcome to germany

I was visiting my uncle in the States in the 90s quite often and he always asked to bring chocolate, lots of it (20-30 bars of 100g every time). He was from europe too and american chocolate is really not very good. He told us they put salt in it ? Is that correct ? I could never put my finger on it but i did not enjoy the chocolate either over there. P.S. Concerning driving, i would strongly suggest instead of learning the position of the Blitzers around your house, just stick to the speed limits. No need to worry then 🙂

Dining out: if you consider Germans to take their time dining out, try the Italians, French, or Belgian dining experience. That's gonna take HOURS, not one or two, but three or four hours, easily. They really enjoy the whole experience. Germans are rushing through their food in comparison. 😃 Comparing Hershey's to Lindt is like trying to compare a toddler's plastic tricycle to a full blown car. Two completely different experiences. 😂 Then we aren't even going into the real confectionary level of chocolates. For those you'd be best advised to hit either Belgium or Switzerland. While Germany has some good confectionaries (mostly founded by Belgians or Swiss😂) the best are truly from those two countries. If you want to try some really high level chocolates here in Germany I can suggest the brand Hachez. You can find them mostly in the somewhat pricier stores like Rewe or Edeka. They are my personal favorite. Yepp, blanket hoggers won't leave their partners in the freezing cold with two comforters/duvets here. Dito for bed revolvers and two matresses. When you've got a partner who turns around like a revolving door in the night you might get woken up if you share a double-sized single matress. With two matresses each has it's own frame and support leaving your own matress unaffected by your partner's movements in the night. Obviously, that leaves what Germans call the Besucherritze, the visitor's gap between the two matresses. It's called this because if you have kids who come to your bedside at night when they can't sleep or they've had a nightmare you might allow them to sleep in your bed. They often land in that gap but somehow still find it comforting. Huh, shrug, I wouldn't know, it obviously NEVER, EVER happened to me when I was a kid, nope, NEVER! 😂😂 Dänisches Bettenlager is a store that usually carries ALL your desired comforters, duvets, bed sheets, etc. They also sell bed frames, springs, mattresses, etc. At least in the North of Germany. Yepp, Sundays virtually all stores are closed. Restaurants, gas stations etc usually are opened. If you desperately need something on Sunday go to one of the major cities in your vicinity and check out their central train station. If you have a major airport those also have some stores that may be opened on Sundays. Those usually have some (overpriced) stores in them that offer basic groceries and some ammenities. Gas stations may have some groceries like cheese, some cold cuts, butter, maybe milk or coffee but nothing fresh like veggies. Just enough to tide you over the day so you can buy groceries on Monday. Yepp, many restaurants are closed from sometime early afternoon to early evening. They use that time to prepare or clean, and maybe even get some short shut-eye and power-naps in. Friends of ours own a restaurant and they have to get up around 4 AM each morning to get the fresh produce, prepare them for the early noon crowd, then get one or two hours of rest. They are cat-napping around the day to survive their 4AM to 11 PM day. They also decided to close their restaurant at noon during the pandemic as too few people came to warrant all the fixed costs of power and gas, as well as the spoilage of prepared foods. Hehe, the puffer coat (especially for women) is a concession to our horridly grey, rainy, cold, humid, ugly winter. It's what keeps you warm and reasonably dry. Just remember that the southernmost portions of Germany, the Alps in Bavaria and Baden-Würtemberg would be situated just shy south of the northern border of Montana or Washington state with Canada. The rest of Germany is significantly more north. Agreed, mid-continental USA doesn't recieve the warm breeze from a Gulf stream during winter, so it is a lot colder there. But then again, the Gulf Stream is also what grants us the relatively highly humid cold and lots of rain during the winter. So if you've got your personal wearable comforter in the shape of a puffer coat with you that may help a bit in blocking those negative emotions from the weather you are bound to get later. Trust me, in your second year the winter blues is going to hit a lot harder so get ready to apply all mental health salves like Christmas markets, candle lights, warm, cozy comforters at home, with a nice hot cup of tea and some cookies, etc during those times. Do what you can to stave of the winter blues. A little judicious use of vitamin D supplements may also help; but take it carefully and according to your own situation, you hear me? No accidental overdosing please. Fashion: again, take a trip to France or Italy and you'll be blown away by their fashion sense. Germany is going to seem really drab and unimaginative after that. But yeah, Karl Lagerfeld, a German fashion designer once said: "Someone wearing gym clothes on the street has lost control over their life." BTW: it's a running gag that you identify Russian immigrants by their track suits. It's a joke, but it has a grain of truth to it. Train rides: if you intend to take the trains at least twice a year for longer distances I highly recommend either 1. the 49€ ticket starting in May for one month for all trains except ICE's in Germany; or if not that, then 2. a BahnCard 25 or 50. They are really useful if you want to save money throughout the year yet still retain full flexibility with tickets. With the BahnCard you can order the flex-tickets that allow you to take ANY train and connection from your start to your destination within 24 hours of your start. So if you miss one, or decide to leave earlier or later, you aren't stuck anywhere, or have to pay for another one. Just hop into the next train that takes you closer to your destination as needed. Those tickets are a bit pricier than the train-locked ones but afford a lot more flexibility and ease of mind. Pigeons are the flying rats of cities. They are flying pests. I HATE them. I don't get why people still feed those critters. Jackrabbits and bunnies abound in Germany as there are virtually no more predators around to curb their populations. Foxes don't hunt jackrabbits (much too fast), wolves exist as one or two small packs somewhere in Eastern Germany of around 15-20 individuals (maybe), and that's it. The only known bear was shot and killed sometime in 2005 or so when he became a problem for shepherds when he killed a few sheep. Those would have been predators that would take down jackrabbits. Bunnies (Kaninchen in German) are cuter and fluffier, but they have also advanced into parks in cities, instead of living in the wilderness anymore. They are practically safe there from ANY predators except maybe a few hunting birds like hawks or similar. Jackrabbits are more limited by their niche environment shrinking constantly rather than predators hunting them. Deer and boar: In the fall be careful if you take a hike through a forest. If you meet a wild boar, male or female, don't approach them. They may look just like bristly pigs, but they CAN be very aggressive, especially the males. But if a female boar has piglets with her, retreat slowly but constantly, no matter how cute the piglets may look. She will do ANYTHING to protect her piglets; and she doesn't fear bears or God. Dito for deer or stags. While they are usually extremely cautious around humans there is one exception. The males of either species are in heat in fall; that causes them to loose all trained inhibitions towards humans. When two large male stags fight with their antlers; don't approach, for God's sake. They don't notice you, but they can weigh well over 600 pounds each. If you get caught by them accidentally you can only pray for quick medical help; they will gore you just by accident, definitely not intentional. When antlers reach 18-20 points (not uncommon according to a friend who is a hunter) and you get caught between two such individuals, you'd have well over 30 puncture wounds on your body.

Have you already encountered a local squirrel? They must look very different to you, don't they?

Both countries have good and bad things but im glad i live in Germany.

The flag is hanging in the wrong position

If you do love fashion then France and Italy are worth a visit. Every time I came back to Germany from one of the two countries I thought "Oh wow, we Germans are so badly dressed."

I would be so scared to drive in another country! Ewww I don’t like birds. Giant bunnies sound cool though!

there is no liquor in brown bags in Germany 😂😂😂😂

you just saw germans with bad taste in fashion. I hate puffer coats n jackets and I hate people who wear their jogging pants on the streets... those are mostly people who have a bad taste in music or listen to hiphop whatever.... not that I try to think stereotypical but its what I noticed. germans also tend to look very colorful so you always recognize them in other countries as tourists :D

I think its more rude to not pay the waiters a decent salary. So i think they can handle a wave when you ask for the check(bill)

Welcome to germany - If you plan to visit Hamburg give me a ping If you want someone for some sight seeing

I just want to mention that the German flag is hanging inverted meaning from right to left it has to be black, red, gold but you have it hanging vice versa..which actually is an "International Emergency signal" to put the colours of the flag on display the other way round or upside down respectively. That opens the question: Do you need help or rescue?...Just kidding ;-D According dining That is in Europe in general culturally way more a "spending quality time" event than just going out in order to fill up the stomach..And when spending quality time it is a bit annoying when a waiter shows up every 5 minutes, that´s considered as intrusive and pushy. So the "waiter" is - "waiting" - for you to give him a sign to show up....I assume that´s why his job titel is "waiter" ;-D

if you use the flag vertical please.............black red gold (left to right).........you turned it wrong^^

11:37 ... sweatpants ? “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.” (Karl Lagerfeld, German fashion Icon)

everthing in Germany is much slower only pay groceries is fast as hell

The Flag ; )

You forgot the bread.

FAhne: Schwarz Rot Gold. Da wir von links nach rechts lesen, hängt Eure Fahne verkehrt herum.

Präservative im Essen ? Das wird ja immer schöner !

Oh, you really think that driving in Germany is very aggressive compared to the USA? Maybe you want to reconsider and take that back

Your background puzzle me a bit. The colors of the german flag are by law 'black, red and gold. When you hang a flag "the long way", normally you read the colors from left to right just as you read in a book. So you fly a flag of a country with the colors "yellow (gold), red and black" can you tell me, what country this is? 😜😜

Maybe you could explain how do you like our weapon regulation for citizens in your future videos

lol, i have been to the USA, i could make a video about the 100 things i disliked....would take a few hours, but the list of things i liked are shorter... going home to Europe!

Yellow lines beat white lines, white lines for this sections are then meaningless.
