6 Ways Germany Changed Me!!! 🇩🇪 | South African Living In Germany 

Hallo

@@adamosborn3994 hi

Wie ist dein Tag bisher

specially in africa are some countrys which has plastic bags forbidden... for example burundi or kenya... and south africa too...^^

Wow, my first time on your channel. You are very good, so smooth and using such good English! I would be saying "you know a few times". I am a German living in San Francisco.

So true

If I am stranded on I vegetarian planet, I directly start studying rocket science. Not so big on meat :-) ??? By the way: my favourite vacation countries are South Africa and Namibia. Besides other reasons... guess way! Greetings form Cologne

according to official statistics Germany is in the top 15 of meat consumers per capita^^ Far ahead of SA

"per capita" is a tricky measurement for developing countries due to inequality. A comparison within the same social class would have been more valauble. SA is well known for braai for a reason.

Sounds like just another reason to visit South Africa anytime soon...

Good for you. I love living in Germany but I love my country more 🙈 so I’ll go back home one day 🇿🇦

As a native German I adore every foreigner who moved over forever, and you American one are very Special because you have the most complicated election system ever for an only bipartisan system

I feel the same...we recently moved here from California and I'd say we are here for good!

@@JayStephan Wait - isn't Cali the only Heaven on Earth??

Hey Richard. So glad to hear u like it here on our country. Wish u all the best

Danke

Absolutely!

Vielen dank, stay safe.

@Edda Brandes, what a lovely sentiment, positive and forward looking. Great stuff.

Thanks for watching 😊!!

you should!!

Vielen dank 😊

Thank you so much 😊

We here in Germany are not at least open minded because of theAmericans aswell. We have learned something from the kind and open minded Americans . Greetings from Berlin

“My beautiful country” 💜🇿🇦 that’s what I call it. This made me miss home, glad you love it.

Sehr nett, danke. I am originally from Polokwane. Enjoy my beautiful country and be safe.

😂😂😂! Thank you, you are so kind. I’ll bear that in mind, thanks for watching :)

@@christopherbehrens8894 fuck off

😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂

You are so blessed to have a bit of both 🇿🇦🇩🇪! Thanks for watching

You’re gifted. Good for you.

well, Africaans is based on Dutch and Dutch is basically a German dialect forked off just 400yrs ago politically

🥰🥰

Well its easy is society and the socio- political environment allows it. In Germany education is free whereas in SA you are looking at about €50 000 or more from Kindergated to Varsity taking a job that pays less after that feel like an insult. Also bear in mind working parents can build a financial nest which they get as child grants from the government regardless of their financial status. just imagine if parents save €2520 (which they receive from the govt p.a) for 19 years until the child finish their education, they have they have almost a R100 000 in SA terms to start their lives. I South Africa start with that amount as student debt like in the US. Great video though keep them coming.

Thank you, I hope so too.

Wow 40 years!!! I’m glad you relate, thank you!

As for googling 😂!

😂😂😂 naija babe here. Coming over soon

Probably because humans and dogs are usually not afraid of each other here, so they can be friends :)

In German we say: "Der Hund ist der beste Freund des Menschen" wich means "Dogs are humans best friend". ;-)

Because the dogs go to school here.

You are so kind, thank you 😊!

Unless u reguarly eat a shit ton of red meat like lots of beef or pork, meat esp. white meat or fish is in absolutely no competition at all with a healthy diet, it's the other way around actually.

Good to know, thanks for watching 😊

Former East Germans have a more negative relationship with dogs as they are associated with the Communist state police patrols. For instance, Angela Merkel is known to be afraid of them - she grew up there.

Tor liver Wilhelmsen ,where did you get this nonsense from? I am East German, 52 years old. Just like in West Germany, the police and rescue units in the GDR had dog squadrons. Dogs would be used at the border, and so would the secret state police ... As a normal citizen, however, you rarely came into contact with it. We too kept dogs as pets and loyal friends. According to the cliché, my grandma had a dachshund named Lumpi and two German shepherd dogs named Heik and Hasso. ;)

@@andreamuller9009 I have it from statements from my sister-in-law and her parents growing up there.

@@TorIverWilhelmsen , Yes, of course you can talk yourself out of it if you are afraid of dogs. ;) I don't think that's a special east / west thing. I am sure there are many people in the West who are afraid of dogs. I think it's because of whether you are afraid of dogs, whether you grew up with dogs from an early age or not. As I said, one was relatively seldom embarrassed to meet these specially trained dogs in the GDR. I can tell you an anecdote about the only time I made the acquaintance of such a police dog at the age of 16 and a couple of friends of the same age. We were standing in a group of about 30 young people ... and yes we were pretty loud too. Two policemen with a police dog wanted to expel us. With the dog it should look powerful and authoritarian ... I don't know. One of our group went up to the dog and talked to him: "What a good dog", "Such a dear one" and so on ... not long and the dog lay on his back and showed his belly to be stroked. They blushed with shame and then walked away. ;D I still laugh when I think about it today...... Ok, I admit that not all GDR citizens have met such a nice police dog, but for an order to bite you had to have done more than disturbing the nightly peace with a few friends. But wasn't that also the case in the West?

Danke.

Thank you, I’m glad you find the video meaningful. Thanks for watching & all the best.

@@tebogop8818 I really appreciate your wishes!!!! Warmest Regards....

Thank you, you are so kind 🥰! Thanks for watching & all the best in Sweden :)

Super interesting! As for “dogs owned by one group of people are normally well behaved but extremely racist” now that’s South Africa 🙆🏿‍♀️ a sad reality. Something I didn’t want to mention in the video because it’s just one of those topics that offends a lot of people. I like your honesty, thanks for watching.

Yes, or your Plastik Box, die am aufklappen kann

I hope so too :)

Danke.

Thank you! Where in Germany?
