I tried living like a German for a day 

"The ancient German art of complaining" 😂😂

Uyen "I'm not enjoying this!" GBF "It's ok, we'll enjoy it for you..." That folded me over... I must remember this to next opportunity! Gold!

Something I really love about your videos is the gentle and kind way you two interact with each other. Makes it really cozy and fun to watch! Please don't ever change that❤️

For the full German experience I suggest next time you snack a Knoppers at 9.30 am, watch the Tagesschau at 8 pm and call the police on your neighbours at 11pm for breathing too loudly!

The joyful complaining had me in stitches 😠🤣

"You have the wrong fork! We are not animals!" - German boyfriend 🤣😂

My German Mom has been living in Italy since 1970, and guess what??? She still can complain about everything... In Italian 😂

Waschlappen are only meant to be used to wash yourself, or your child, but never for furniture.

Awww - the towel to dry your cold feet was the best surprise!

I would happily watch Uyen complain for an hour, it's just too funny, she's a natural 💀

You inspired me to make banana bread with the kids this afternoon- thanks for that!

I will never tire of your videos. My family immigrated from the Netherlands and I grew up with my Oma and Opa living next door. 4 o'clock tea and cake was a daily must, which my mom still does. So was the fresh air and the daily walking. The board game! So nostalgic! We grew up playing the games in my house. Although at my Oma and Opa's it was cards. They called it Joker but the J was pronounced as a Y.

You forgot to end the day with Tagesschau and Tatort. That is the true german sunday evening experience! 😊

The cutest couple EVER love yall🧡🧡

I’m obsessed with the way you pronounce dangerous. You are the cutest person ever!! I love your content.

What I really love about Uyen and GBF is, it feels like they genuinely enjoy producing their content. A little bit like old RU-vid times when no one was making money from it. Nice work guys!!

That dirndl is adorable! :)

Uyen, you said that german boyfriends parents do almost every time coffe and cake when you visit. Well, it is common courtesy to offer this coffe and cake time when you have visitors that you appreaciate( or at least some cookies or sth.). Most Germans actually abandonned this everyday coffe and cake time nowadays because they don't want to gain weight. It is still a kind of tradition on sunday when the family gathers for a lot of families. Of course there are still families doing it almost everyday but most germans - especially the younger generation does not do it anymore for themselves but only when they have visitors- it is part of the hospitality. Imo it stirrs from war times when food was extremely scarce only rich people could afford coffe and cake(inspired from british tea time). So after the war and when industrialisation hit people became a bit richer and could afford it in order to show off they are well off to others. So this developed from a sunday coffe and cake time to an everyday activity. At those times the beauty standard was still more on properly fed women and men (because this means you have money!) which made it easy to balance this - you also might notice that mostly the very elderly people endulge in coffe and cake very often (if their health allows it). But after the baby boomer generation health problems showed up(diabetis and adipositas) and the beauty standard slowly changed. With this a lot of people abandonned this for health reason, beauty reasons or simply because the could not afford it anymore. It became more popular to go on vacation in other countries so people started saving up for that. The ideal of being rich because you can regularily afford coffe and cake vanished slowly. It remained as a hospitality custom to show off that you spare no expenses for your visitors.

I am Viennese and I guess you know what we think about sauces on Schnitzel. If you need a sauce, you made it too dry 😜😅 That said, when are you going to come to Vienna? 😊 I love your videos so much and you guys have become one of my favorite RU-vidrs! Also, I hope that your family in Vietnam were not too affected by the Taifun and that they are safe and sound.

you guys are so cute

Yay! I've been waiting for another non-podacast video(I love your podcast, btw!) from you for so long!! ❤❤❤

I love how Maggi is to Germans what fish sauce is to Vietnamese

German Fiancé may not tie your shoes, but he’s more than happy to wipe your wet feet dry!👏🙌😭 15:21

I am an American from New York City. My grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe over 100 years ago. Thank you for showing us how Germans live an average day. I didn’t realize how similar Germans and this New Yorker are. BTW, love you and your channel

Your vids are amazing

the cold water treatment is called Kneipp-kuren and it is good for your immunsystem, your venes and also can help with sleepproblems

Uyen we call these QUICK BREAD in the USA. or they used to call it this. The category includes a lot of quick usually sweet loaf cakes that people would eat for any meal or snack.

Try adding Walnuts, Pecans, and/or chocolate chips to the Banana Bread. Plus, warming it up and putting butter on...the Best 🤤 🤤 🤤

I'm french and the "croissant in a can" had me gasp in horror.

Lmfao the crust is the best part of banana bread 🤣🤣 silly goose 🪿

You two are couple goals. Loving, patient, adventurous, silly, and kind. May you two always find love and happiness in each other.

I love how you two can be silly with each other and it can be fun.

I have a question for German Boyfriend: What field of Biology are you working in/is your main research study? Im also a biologist, specialized in pollinator communities and other symbiotic communities/ mostly fungi. So cool to have a Biologist on RU-vid. Well kinda. Love your Channel Uyen :)

Uyen, You’d probably enjoy the US south for chitchatting with folks. The southwest for more fresh vegetables and spicy food. Most of the US in general do not walk quite as much. 😂 You’re less likely to cause shock by not using the right size fork, unless it’s a formal event. Our schnitzel is chicken-fried steak/country-fried steak and is eaten with gravy. Texas cities tend to be more food centric with tons of food options. ❤

When she poured the beer...my poor little Irish soul grabbed for the screen. You should come to Dublin some time!

Made me smile😊 Lol went to put a thumbs up but already had, really should allow us more than one!

Jo, nicht schlecht, das Video.

Oh 😮 When the video ends, I felt sad. That much I enjoyed. Thanks!!! 😅

Fun thing about the croissant: That's just what the french stole from the austrians/bavarians/swiss. They took what was known in the southern german and german speaking areas as "Gipfel/Hörnchen/Beugel" (or Cornetto in Italy), slapped a whole bunch of butter into it, complicated the dough making process into madness with adding even more butter into it (creating the puff pastry dough base) and copied that pastry with even more butter. But the origin is somewhere or everywhere between southern Germany and the very northern tip of Italy.

Uyen your creativity is just so outstanding....eating like a German, you would also take your elbows of the table while eating 🤣🤣🤣

I have so many favorite moments in this video. Uyen wearing the traditional custom (very cute I would say, please wear them for pre-wedding photoshoot if you have any) Uyen oversells things and GB undersell things. The Art of Complaining. Her shrivering when dipping in cold water. GB giving her the K-drama treatment. Uyen bluffing about how she can open beer with her eyes

20:26 thats the most german in the hole video 😂😂😂

As a non German I have no idea what ur doing but it looks fun

I only have two things critique here: First) who puts the schnitzel on the deep plate and the salad on the shallow plate T.T this grinds my gears. Second) The eating times are all weird! You have to eat at 8, 12 and 18 o'clock. Every 6 hours on the dot. Everything else is blasphemy xD

The best banana bread/cake is made with overripe bananas. When the bananas get spots I put them in the freezer ready for the next bake. Thaw before using! 😊

Uyen and German Boyfriend: thank you so much for sharing your cultural and personal insights. I love your videos.

Omg the part about finding things to complain about w German boyfriend was the BEST I was laughing out loud in the laundromat! 😂😂 Please do a video of just that! Love you both from USA ❤

Uyen I love your crocheted vest so much it’s so cute. Also, can you try to make Mexican food one day? I’m curious to see what you come up with 🤭

Oh that's a Swiffer duster! We have that and the pop tin bread cans in the US! Pillsbury is the most well known brand out here!

Thank you for your wholesome content! Love you both. Would also like to see you do Kneippen again. You have to lift your feet out of the water with every step. Make high steps so that your leg is bend in a 90° angle. The "Kneipp Effekt" is scientifically proven to strenghten the immune system. ❤

Socken und Sandalen, du bist wirklich gut integriert xD

0:35 so that was the sound the pigeons make? wow, i always heard that sound at school every morning and i thought it was the crows', because it sounded pessimistic to me. idk lol. i'm sure i'm going to learn a lot of new things from this video

Oh, where you in the Luisenpark in Mannheim? It looked so familiar to me 🤔 When my knees were better, we had a picknick each weekend with friends there. Just sitting on a picknick rug, each one brings something to drink and snack and we share it together while playing small boardgames or (most of the time) card games. Sadly I can't sit on the ground anymore (I can sit on the ground, but I can't get up again xD) In summer we had picknicks in the Luisenpark and in Winter we often were ice skating on the weekends. Miss these things

9:21 was really funny😂😂

You guys are so adorable 😂❤ My husband and I just moved to Germany (he's in the U.S. Military) and I love watching your videos and RU-vid shorts. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!! ❤

As a Vietnamese, I think I'm a Germany now Dayum that's some likes. Thanks!

I loved the German complaining 10/10 😂😂😂

Try eating some cranberry jam with the Schnitzel the next time instead of Ketchup! The combination might be unexpected at first, but it tastes good, and I've had it served this way in enough German restaurants to be pretty sure that's quite German as well.

You 2 are a great couple ❤. I love watching your videos and congratulations on your engagement. I knew going into this video that you're gonna miss your hot meals,lol.

For those of you watching unfamiliar with European culture, most of these habits are spread in a similar form across all of Europe. So this is more of a difference between Asian and European life habits.

The sound german bf made when you poured the beer, I laughed so hard

Dutch people used to eat more soup, vegetable soup at the start of dinner. maybe if you are always eating soup you feel a bit dehydrated if you just eat bread, soup stays in your stomach longer than most drinks.

In Germany when something helps you with X, X is 90% of the time "Kreislauf" or "circulation". "Kreislauf" is the magic value that measures all health and fitness.

Your complaining lesson was great fun. You reLl are becoming a German Vietnamese Superstar.❤️

8:30 is hella late. That's weekend get up time.😂

"We are not ANIMALS! Bring the CAKE forks." 😂

I like the saying that’s, “There’s no bad weather, just bad clothes”. 😊

AWWW THE TOWEL! I remember Uyen saying her boyfriend doesn't do all these Korean drama things that she finds romantic but awww that's so sweet that he paid attention and took notice to do it more ❤ most wholesome couple on the Internet

Germans bake at home. And not all of us has maggi in the household.

My Husband's Brother lives in Whuppertal, Germany he has lived there for about 50 years even married a German Lady and they have two kids one of each. My Father's Parents were from Germany. You both are so cute together ❣️ AZ, USA 🇺🇸

6:44 German Boyfriend: You put almost a banana into the bowl **video cuts** showing ~3 3/4 Bananas inside the bowl Instreuctions unclear ANZEIGE IST RAUS

Omgosh wonderful ❤I was smiling during the whole video love it. Please please never reveal German Boyfriends face, I personally think he and you are having to much fun in hiding his face. And it just wouldn't be the same. ❤🥰.

Every type of German food I saw in this video is what people usually eat in Russia too. But for lunch we eat hot soup as a first dish: borsch, soup with potatoes and chicken, rassolnyk, vegetables soup, totamo cream soup, ukha (soup with fish). In childhood I hated soup. But since about 16 years old I can't leave without soups. When I eat soup I feel happy. One of my favourite second dishes for lunch (or it can be a supper) is chopped into little pieces chicken'breastes with canned pineapples in tomato souce (better use tomato juice) spiced up with the mix of pepper and spicy red pepper powder. It goes very good with mashed potatoes or with white rice. Usually we eat this dish in autumn or winter, so because fresh vegetables are expensive, we eat home pickled cucumbers and tomatoes from jars wich were cunned prepared in summer. Older people also love to eat homemade pickled watermelons, but I don't like it.

I live in Canada and pretty much only Asians know about Maggi. Canadians are not familiar with Maggi, but in almost every Asian household you'll find Maggi. We also play board games here.

you two are so cute together. love seeing you bond over sharing your cultures with each other, and with us. neat to see a typical sort of german day and see all the general similarities between it and the "day as my vietnamese mom" the other day. speaks to the simple joys of the human experience. we all love sharing a warm meal together. xoxo

A German would never let rainy weather stop them from going to a bakery to buy bread. 😂 I had to say it.

😂 the arghhh aww noise from GBF when you poured the beer had me, it was a good video i always have fun watching you 2.

17:47 I feel like staring is a very German thing to do :")

You both did wonderful :) cute and entertaining, you both have such fun chemistry together, Makes others laugh with you, Thank you :)

As a German i thought she would drink Apfelschorle with her Dinner. 😎

I thought that we, Polish, have the master's degree in complaining.. 😊 well, neighbours...

About the Kneipp Kur (walking in the cold water) As far as I remember it should help with circulation and blood flow. The cooling of your feet and lower leg for the short time has (I believe) tha same idea behind it as when you cahnge your shower von hot to cold and so on (Wechseldusche). Might not be 100% correct, as I only have my memories from like 15 years ago or such^^° As I child we drove 30+min just to go to a spot with Kneipp baths. They had different kinds. My favourite were long rocks, that were like steps you could walk up and down in really shalow water. The water was direkty from a stream in the woods. There was one where you put your hands and lower arms into and one that was deeper (Middle of upper thigh, as a child I was swimming in it) We always kombined it with a lovely picknick as a family. Sadly we never visited again, after my grandpa died. My mother has medical issues, were she can't go into cold water. My grandma can't swim and barely ever went into the water and my friends think it'S boring ^^°

German breakfast looks good if I’m allowed ham. Such a cute idea! Now, make German BF live like a Vietnamese.

I would love to see Uyen and German BF try some food from New Orleans!

I'm from Vienna, Austria. Even hearing about putting sauce on Schnitzel makes my ancestors cry. And most of them aren't even from Austria!

UYEN! My boyfriend and I are a long distance relationship, I’m North and he’s South American. You and German Bf are so comforting to watch and I hope one day we can be like yall!

Kneippen has actually been proven to help improve the immune sytem in a study (University of Jena). So yeah. It's good for your health. ^^

My grandfather on my fathers side liked to eat radishes dipped in salt

“So what could we complain about out here” 😂

Uyen amazing recipe use the cresant rolls, roll out dont cut leave flat top with a mixture of cream cheese, cooked spicy ground sausage, green onion, bell pepper cut minced. How make the mixture cook (1lb) ground sausage then when done and still warm mix in bowl with cream cheese (8oz) and green onoin and half bell pepper mix together. When you have mixture on cresant doug (will need 3 containters) roll into log freeze for 10 min then take out cut into little pinwheels then bake (: Great appitizer!

The groan/scream when she was pouring the beer wrong LOL

Can’t wait to see how you enjoy this! 😂😊❤

You should pour any carbonated bevarage the way german boyfriend did because it allows the carbonation to stay in the liquid better. With beer in particular, too much broam and it's flat; too little broam and you'll feel bloated and eat less. Cool to cold beverages keep carbonation better.

The pigeons in the morning are to real 😂

As a german I don't feel very german anymore 😂 it seems my routine is influenced by various countries...

This was so wholesome to watch ☺️, as a Dutch person, there is so much recognition

Sausage is my favorite thing in the whole wide world, too!

When I saw the banana peels, my first thought was, “Oh, you can soak them overnight in water and then use the water for your plants!” Do you happen to do this? It works great to perk up your plants!

LOVE the video!

3:30 I'm french. I shall not comment. 22:37 I'll comment on that tho. Very nice medieval city, very cool walls. The old city isn't very big but it's still quite impressive. Really hot and dry in summer.
