I walk through a small town in central/eastern Germany's Federal State of Thuringia with Tien. She explains what it was like living here in the town of Greiz when she was younger and why her family chose to move here.
Tien takes us on a tour through the main parts of the town in the second half of the video and shows us what it feels like to be here during the COVID-19 pandemic.

You have a strong German accent and and yet you are such an eloquent English speaker are you a native German or did you move there as a baby . Very informative video btw. my family and I are hoping to move to Germany soon for a year.

It reminds me just a little of Edinburgh. Not literally, but the castle and the beautiful aged appearance of the town. A lovely place. Thank you for the video.

@glaziopluto8957 3 года назад

Did not expect to see Greiz being shown in a vlog on RU-vid like this. Really cool because I went to school there and still live pretty close. Personally I don't like the town's appearance that much outside of the areas shown in the video, but it's nice to see people appreciating it for what it is. Also, I've never seen Greiz this empty, especially the Puschkinplatz. Really interesting. Anyway, great video!

@shamicentertainment1262 6 месяцев назад

it's crazy, where I live in australia, 6000 is a decent sized town. Obviously we wouldn't consider it large, but many smaller towns number only in the hundreds, and they are very far apart. This is western australia, much lower population density than the east.

@jackhat6936 3 года назад

If you think that is a small town, you should visit towns in Australia. We have some towns where there is absolutely nothing but a single pub and you have to drive 20 km+ for the nearest grocery store.
