I’m an American...and I had an American burger in Sweden twice. In my defense, it was the restaurant’s bestseller and it was better than any burger I’ve had in the states.
Funny how the Kinder products are associated with Germany (through the German name, obviously) although the producer, Ferrero, is actually an Italian company. They also do also the other products which use the same font and color style for their names like Nutella, Hanuta, Duplo, etc. and a number more of better known sweet snacks like Rocher and Raffaelo.
It is so hilarious how Alex feels that he complains all the time because I never, ever feel that He or Emma are unhappy (unless ill, of course). There is a difference in expressing one's general feeling and impressions and being genuine. I find that other travel vloggers, sadly American, and some whom you have traveled with, complain so much. They seem entitled, and rather disrespectful of their opportunities and experiences. So much so that I refuse to watch them. So, thank you both for always rolling up your sleeves, being on that edge of discomfort and fear and doing it anyway. For having great attitudes, and providing content for those of us who are unable to travel the world for whatever reason! We appreciate your work, authenticity, and gratitude. Stay well and keep exploring.
Nope, not true about Americans. I'm not sure what Americans have given you the impression that they all complain and are disrespectful and unappreciative. Trust me, the vast majority are very appreciative of the opportunity to travel and respect other cultures. Please don't judge American travelers by the vlogs you've seen. That's a very small sample of how Americans feel about the wonderful opportunities to experience and appreciate other countries.
@@Chillaxing113 I appreciate your point of view. As an American, I have witnessed the poor behavior whilst traveling and have seen many a vlog, as mentioned. It is not all Americans, for sure, but I have seen many who complain more than show gratitude. That's just my perspective. Be well 🙂
I was in Fusen last summer and little did we know that all the restaurants close early in the evening and the only restaurant open was a Chinese one and we happily discovered they cooked up awesome dishes. Bavaria is a fairly tale country. Will visit again someday.
Nice that you liked it in my home town Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Actually Walt Disney has been in Germany after the war and has photographed and measured the city. Rothenburg actually served Disney as a model for parts of his parks and many of his films as well as actually Beauty and the Beast.
Best non local food was an Italian restaurant on avenue Rapp near the Eiffel Tower across from our AirBNB. It was so good we ate there twice and the night of the terrorist attacks in 2015 we got take out there. So it has amazing memories for us and it became like our home away from home and it was delish.
I love you guys! Been watching for a while now and think you're super underrated. You have amazing content and I love the humor and sarcasm! Keep being you!
Best non-local food: I discovered shawarma and coffee with cardamom as a language student in St Petersburg. Lived of it for almost a year later in Damascus. And discovered Okonomiyaki in Vancouver, prepared by a lovely Chinese family restaurant. Went all the way to Hiroshima to discover it again. (the more common Osaka version is not as good).
If it's good enough for the Beans, it's good enough for me. Although it wasn't a sunny day today, the city was very picturesque and not too many people visiting. I even managed to have a Bratwurst and beer, not a bad day!
On the recommendation of your friends , Jits Into The Sunset, I log onto your site, needless to say I am very happy i did such, you guys are a "Hoot!" Rothenburg is one of my favorite locations in Germany. I have been there three times, my first visit was in 1985 when I was a guest of BMW for a 29 day tour of Germany. My last visit was in 2020 while we were on a Viking River Cruise "Christmas Market Cruise" and we both along with a another couple had lunch there and a few beers and later in the day, some killer deserts. Another location we so enjoyed was Garmish Perkenstein, the shopping and dining there is wonderful. I often tell my wife if we could move to Germany I would be a very camper!!
Some of the village scenes from chitty chitty bang bang where filmed in Rothenburg. After asking a local we found the village square where the child catcher rode into offering free ice cream to catch the children.
First night in Germany didn't arrive at the B&B until early evening. We walked around the little town trying to find something to eat. Only thing open---gyros. I feel your pain.
Rothenburg o.d. Tauber was a filming location in the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" movie The Toymakers Workshop was part of an old Hospital. Füssen Railway Station was also a filming location in "The Great Escape" movie.
1:26 Red kite. One of the most frequent birds of prey in that region. You can see the fork like tail which is red (for the red kite, not for the black kite;) and the wings are also skythe shapped. Then you have the buzzard, which is smaller, waits at the Autobahn and other roads for some mice to be killed by cars. His wings are blunt and round. Then you have the hawk, that is lighter than the buzzard, and you have the falcon, small and thin, he stands still in the air and ten suddenly falls down to catch a mouse.
Niiiice! Thanks for the info! We get quite a lot of buzzards where we live in Somerset in the UK and the odd kestrel.. We were shocked by how many cool birds we saw in mainland Europe 🤩
I live in Houston, Tx.....but I'm originally from Schwabach by Nürnberg, my sister actually got married in Rothenburg odT. It was nice to watch you guys there! ✌️😀👍
Love your (british?) humour and the way you are commenting everything! ;-) Rothenburg was really a ghost town when you visited it, normally it is super-crowded. Greetings from Freiburg.
I’ve eaten German food in Rothenburg twice, and both times were catastrophically bad, think most shameless tourist traps imaginable. I’m surprised you found a good restaurant. Good job!
The best non local food was a little Mexican restaurant in Phnom Penh Cambodia. Completely delicious, slightly Asian version of our favourite food with genuine Corona beer. When you miss home eat your comfort food!
If you come to Bavaria again and you are close to Bamberg you should go there and drink some Rauchbier (smoked beer). Both Bamberg and the beer are awesome.
I once ate Mexican food at a place named Señor Zorba's on Santorini because it had an amazing view and there were only a few people there, so we had a cliff-front view of the caldera and water... the food was total shyte. However, the beer was cold and you can't fuck up tortilla chips and an amazing view.
It makes you think: How many of these magnificient views were destroyed in the war? Even Rothenburg was bombed and had to be rebuilt to a large extent. Still, Bavaria is my favourite part of Germany, too. Dinkelsbühl, not far south of Rothenburg ob der Tauber (there are plenty of other Rothenburgs) is wonderful too and not a tourist in sight!
Bummer about the tire but at least it got fixed pretty easy and gave you a good excuse to have a little more time in the beautiful village. My family and I also enjoyed a trip to Rothenburg several years ago but it was much busier than when you were there. I still would have loved to stayed another week or so just to explore all the nooks and crannies. I would definitely come along for a Beans German Christmas Market tour.
Pity the "BEAN A BAGO" had a flat, At least it was only flat on the bottom HAHA, Not everything goes to plan but you guys make the most of things as they happen. Stay safe
Talk about 3rd country food, I am ethnically Chinese, I have been to various parts of China (different styles of cuisine) many times, and I am living in San Francisco Bay area. When I am in Europe, the one ethnic food I usually stay away from is Chinese food. I have been in Europe several times, I think I only visited Chinese restaurant once, in London Chinatown. For me, eat local (wherever you are visiting) is part of the tourist experience.
It's a brilliant trip. Myself and my wife did it in 2 separate trips. It was so good we decided to slow down. So we started it in 2016 and did the second half in 2017.
I’ll do the German Christmas markets with you! I love them, Stuttgart is one of the best but I’ve been to quite a few. Love a glueing and a good bratwurst. Great videos Beans, loving your channel. 😘
I had the best (and only) Syrian food in Germany and by the way, the best Christmas markets in Germany are in Saxony not in Bavaria :P I highly recommend the Christmas markets in the region "Erzgebirge" which means ore mountains. The Germans also call the Erzgebirge Christmas land, it is so lovely in December.
Rothenburg o.d. Tauber is truly beautiful. It's where I started dating my wife :) We live right next to the romantic road and videos like yours remind me to appreciate this place more often. I mean ... yes, people do live here. And I know exactly what you felt back there
I had excellent sushi and Ramen at UNO restaurant in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It was a wonderful location with welcoming staff. I feel if you're already on an adventure, be adventurous. I also had amazing Chinese food in Melbourne Australia. Hmmm, maybe I should visit Asia next... to find a nice pizza.
I would happily go around German christmas markets eating and drinking with my fellow beans. It may be best to leave it a year or two before considering it though.
I would definitely do a German Christmas market tour!! I’ve never been to a European Christmas market. Canada doesn’t have any, at least where I’m from
It really is great. We have been to some terrible ones that are just token markets. The one we went to in Wroclaw Poland is the best we have seen so far
I’ve actually gotten to so this before! A few years ago my brother had our whole family do a 15 day tour around Germany, Austria and Sweden by train where we saw loads of different Christmas markets along the way... probably 20-30 total! It was awesome! I’d definitely join if you guys did another one! (But I might be bringing an extra half dozen with me... 🤷🏻♀️) 😂
Y’all are so much fun to watch while you’re on your adventures. You’ve been placed both in USA and overseas I would love to visit. I live vicariously through your travel videos. Thank you so much Emma & Alex for each and every video to create. 😊🎉❤ y’all are awesome 🤩! Have a wonderful day
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is basically built for cristmas time. It is a lovelly place to be at cristmas. But be aware, there will be thousands and thousands of tourist in the city.
Something "bad" had to happen because it is a fairytale village!! Every Disney princess movie has taught me this lol! Adding the Romantic Road to my travel wish list now.
York right now is pretty much as busy as it would be in any other August. And sadly most of the visitors (95% Brits) are not observing Covid precautions.
You know you've struck it lucky somewhere when you have to remind yourself its real life and not a movie set - I was in the Lake District last weekend and kept looking up and doing the same! ....and then the tyres goes haha.
They towns keep the colors they've had for years. The Christmas market in Rotenburg is nice, but Stuttgart has the best one. It's over 300 years old and has everything.
In my opinion, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the most beautiful city in Germany. You guys were lucky to have it's beauty almost to yourselves. Loving your videos and you guys are a blast.
i will shout this cause i need to: I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT PLACES WITH LESS PEOPLE ON THE STREETS !!! like ... imagine Venice, but you actually get to see the buildings BECAUSE THERE AREN'T 100 PEOPLE NEAR YOU :))
@@TravelBeans a coast trip from the Netherlands/Frisia up to Nordfriesa I can recoment even tho its the same ocean the villages and the nature is constanly changing
I was a military brat born in Bremerhaven Germany. My family went back in 1983-1986 I believe. I remember the Bratwurst at carnival as being the best ever!. PS: My wife an I would do a tour in Germany especially if it went through Zweinrucken Germany.
Sorry about the bad luck with the tire but you wouldn't have had the Pizza in a lovely German town. Emma you are right about it looking like a movie set but it's really there. I really like this video a lot, great job guys 😃
Really inspiring you guys are .. got encouraged by you to take my bag ans start a intresting travel like this .. very beautifully presented by the most enthusiastic couple travelers .. thank you
This year all the Christmas Markets in Germany are cancelled, because of Covid 19. ☹ Such a pity, because my friends and I go every year to Köln/Cologne. I visited several and Köln is the best. And our yearlong tradition will continue next year. 😉
