Is life really better in Germany? 

Many of those impressions are *very* specific to Munich, the rest of Germany can be very different. Both in a positive and in a negative way.

"French are working more than germans"-- This is the most controversial statement i have ever heard.

"Is life really be-ah?" ... said the Brit.

This is so strange for me... I am German, but lived 24 years in the US, and recently returned home. I so understand the interviewed opinions, i do feel a bit as a foreigner here as well. The bureaucracy and lack of digital solutions is really a pain. 😅 I mean... you may have the option to fill out a form out online, just so they print it out in their office and it gets processed the old way anyway. 😂 One thing is for sure: Shit happens everywhere, but it is MUCH safer here than anywhere in the USA. Fun video, thank you for posting.

I moved from Germany to New Zealand, and I miss how smoothly everything worked in Germany, plus the Germans are much more reliable than the New Zealanders. When you come from Germany you take things for granted, now I appreciate it more.

Munich was so quiet and peaceful when I was there in 2014. I loved it. People are reserved.

What could be better ? Coming from a german, the korean girl was spot on ... the bureaucracy in this country is awful, even for us germans

In my opinion, as a German, it is ok country to live, but not to enjoy life. Any time I was in Brazil or Italy I made friend super quickly, and they are really good friends, including my Italian boyfriend... In Germany I only am friends good friends with people with Turkish background etc. I do think my German German friends are way too strict and cold-hearted, I do not feel so well around them. I dont connect with typical German mentality, sometimes can be really harsh and brutal mentality... I love Italian way of living, you invite people over for pasta pizza, just to have a nice evening, you dont have to become friends or best friends, but just be a bit more spontaneous and friendly. A smile goes a long way.

Your interviews illuminate so much positive energy- it’s amazing! Thank your work and way of being.

Don’t forget, Bavaria and Germany can be very different things 😂 I am from NRW and have lived in Munich for a couple of years. So I know 😂. In London, too, btw. Keep going 🖖

I am a German. And im very proud of our values. Everybody here can live in freedome ans Peace.

They respect the fact that everyone has more time to live, on the other hand they complain that the shops are closed on Sundays....

Thanks for your videos. It helps us Germans with an external view.

Just one thing. The country is spelled Colombia ;)

Hye I'm from. Malaysia Asia my name is Mimi Malina Ahmad. ..Muslim would love to migrated in Germany.. all by myself my grandfather from German.. I was born up in Malaysia. ..2023

We are to serious, like the man on the bike said. The Netherlands they are not that strict for what i have experienced- again a little generalised. When you visit or move here choose the right city or area for your state of mind. That is the maybe the most interesting fact about Germany, that when it comes to mentalities, we got everything here. Beaches, mountains, forests, castles, several big cities every part coming with another mentality and vibe.

the french guy is handsome, i love his accent

Munich is quite different from other cities in Germany.

Great work bro

Great video! Thanks!

I love how us English just straight up tell it how it is back home (there are dead bodies in the water) and everyone swears a lot

Hello everyone here. Wish and hope you're good. Here is what i know. Germany is the perfect land for germans. Being an auslander, especially african- housing appartments are expensiiiiiiivvvves, taxes and health(itq true it helps) take 42% of ur salary. There are 23 millions of migrants there but they still complain about lack of laborers. Because language barrières. U have millions of talented and able migrants but on the streets,obliged C1 level for a job,having an appointment takes months. Really. And for the migrants that make it, they r just used to benefit the economy but how they been treated. They should regulise migrants situation there

Bruh you need to interview balck folks on this topic. Trust me it will be interesting.

You're digustingly Brittish, and I love you.

Be careful from the neighbors the call the police if you make a barbecue

I left Germany a long time ago, since I felt it was too crowded.

Now send these people to Frankfurt for a week

Me getting more excited cuz I got a job and just booked my appointment with the consulate.

Nice video! just one small typo, it is Colombia, not Columbia

Colombia*

My wife and I spent September 2011 in NYC ( Manhattan). In 2013 we spent September in Charlottenburg-Berlin. Germany was a better experience. Why? There was this feeling of physical security and an amazing history that was not self-congratulatory. If every country owned its history like Germany does, the world would be a better place. If you can respect a country then I respect Germany. PS I am only speaking for myself but my wife does not vehemently disagree. And I am certainly not knocking NYC, but, gee ,maintain your infrastructure !

Life ist better in Germany if you come from Equador.

Great vídeo congrats 👏

It's super worth it to live in germany

There are a few things wich could be better in Germany. It’s so hard to make friends here . The Germans could be more open minded and relaxed

off topic but i just love accents so much

Ask this in Vienna!!

Germany is good place to live. But Finnland is one of the most efficient country in my opinion. No bureaucracy, almost everything is digital, efficient transport systems.

My men, just FYI. It's Colombia. Not Columbia.

No, we never cross a red light! We want to be good examples, just in case a kid would watch.

England is a very safe country i was in cornwall

The country is spelled "Colombia" (yes even in English) not "Columbia"

*Colombia - um Gottes Willen!

4:13 never worked a minute

why tha hell god save the king anthem in a video about germany ?

1) Beraucracy. 2) High taxes + low salaries. 3) Stores closed on holidays/some in the middle of a day. 4) You can't pay with a debit card because they don't really invest in IT sector. 5) Lack of startups, cool companies that really make their way into the global market, like Amazon, Google, etc etc and therefore lack of opportunities. 6) High living costs.

Since corona we often pay with credit cards

That one point points really out....i really start to hate these generalisations! That´s not only about germans and Germany. It is interesting anyway ;-)

It's funny to see what bothers people from other countries in Germany and that's exactly what bothers us Germans too 🤣 Too much paperwork, paying with cash, long waiting times at authorities, rents and infrastructure.

Covid didn't destroy handshaking (as we can see from the end of the video)

Cheerz😊!

This is only for Munich.. they should come and see dortmund, tram here is from the 1800's, stinky, often drunkards well mostly :)

Munich has nothing to do with the germany I'm used to and grew up in. Come to west germany, near the netherlands. It's a whole fucking different story here trust me!

You keep misspelling Colombia. You’ve done that in more than one video.

Better or beddah?

Listen at 6:34

As an American I 100% agree with the other American statement! We literally work all the time here. It’s been seven years since I have found the time to go on a vacation. All I do is work. All Americans care about is making money and buying things to keep up with our neighbors! It’s a sick society!

The anthem at the beginning is 105 years too late ;-)

Better than living where?

life is fine here but its a hell hole when it comes to dating and meeting a girl. Its totally non existent to meet someone

I thought you want to make a Video about Germany not about Munich

Is that Lucas Bravo from Emily in Paris? LOL.

Country: America... Columbia... What?

Usually u habe like 2 or 3 renting companys in town thaz are verry effordsble but u need wbs or its hard to find em as a foriginer i can imagine Or landlors discriminste not the " race" but ur a student or u just got a job u arent theiugh the first 3 months, self imployed u once where unimplpyed for a long period Even for germans its hard to find a nice place in a specific area i mean u dont wsnt to be to fshr away feom where u work study or grew up (in my case) makes it hard

Go to Berlin!

Germany is a great country...

"Have you ever wondered what life is really like in Germany?". For whom? And where? For college kids? Or people from dangerous countries?

jedes Land hat seine vorteil und nach teile, es kommt an was sie wünschen und das Land Erwarten, wichtig ist, es soll poblikum jeder nationen Glücklich leben, über wetter, über gute und gesunde narrungen, über politik, über schule und Bildungen,Über Arbeitstelle und gute lohn,über wirtschaft und ökonomie,über technologie für alle , über Gesundheitsystem und behundlung massnamen jeder krankheiten und demokratie auch soziale richtigkeiten, ich bin armeste mensch hir aber wechsele nicht das land so leicht von andre Länder,, sprechen ist leicht, alle die jenigen ihre fragen geantwortet, sollen auch hier lange leben, dann entscheiden, welche land ist besser! es soll alle fälle sehen, vergleichen nicht gut aber es soll sehen werklich welche land stehe auf alle andre länder hümanitet an!

"Is life really be'a in Germany?"

Adding the imperial anthem is a nice touch 😊

You can't do this interview in Munich - you just can't.

French people work all the time💀😂 One of the biggest lies I ever heard

Germany could be a great place to migrate to if weren't so ducking racist. Our tendency to stay for our own and not really talking to strangers if that can be avoided (we consider that impolite) leads us to reinforce prejudices. That is of course not true for everybody or everywhere but in average we are less open to strangers. If, for example, you have no contact to people from Turkey or Syria you just make up how these people are in our mind or what we see in TV... Therefore regions with the lowest rate of foreigners are the most afraid of "Überfremdung" ... Yes, I am looking at you Sachsen, but not exclusively.

it is

I, a German, dont feel safe anymore in my country. Shame on Merkel, Media and some more. But we will take our country back. 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

ColOmbia,

Look the point is it could be nice and secure all around europe, if we were able to face our obvious issues. The eastern european folks down in hungary recently Pointed it out.

Bavaria ❤

6:34 Because I'm a bitch...

MUCH BETTA 🤙🏻 - Baga Chipz

Anzeige ist raus!

Lol no.

Munich.. please dont call the video 'in Germany'. Bavarian is not comparable to the rest of Germany.. sadly

I heard Germany is awfully xenophobic, so for me, it's big no.

Caguexico

What you could do better, ask the people not about Germany but about Munich. I think it is somewhat intellectually dishonest to present the people the presupposition that Munich is a model for Germany. Germany is extremely diverse when it comes to states and the regions within those states. Especially when it comes to culture, northern German culture and southern German culture mostly just share the language which is thought in school. But i have to admit, it is interesting to see the reactions and opinions of this very diverse group people you present in your videos, even though they are, i think, skewed buy the premise hidden in your question. I believe you can do both, be honest and make money on RU-vid. I even think that the service you provide would improve by trying. Especially for people which watch your videos and then decide to move to Germany. I mean, even the level and kind of bureaucracy is different in other states or cities... Either way, please excuse my little rant, i hope you continue and take some of my criticism to heart. Thanks.

america is continent! not a country.

Moved to Germany 4 years ago for work - worst decision in my life. Quality of life is bad. Trash everywhere, drunk people on the streets, zero flexibility in literally all aspects of life. Weather sucks. Internet connection sucks. Nearly impossible to find an apartment. Generally rude people. Actively trying to get out and I’m far from the only one. Germany was great 30 years ago. Maybe. Today? Nah.

I didn’t like people in berlin. Munich is probably better.

If they want to make friends, they must have a good command of Deutsch; the Germans hate when people speak English, French, Spanish in their own country, which is the biggest country in Europe in terms of population and economy.

I love to see that Germany is so much more diverse than it was in the 80s and 90s. But at the same time I worry, will the German standard of safe and peaceful cities maintain when multiculturalism and immigration is rushed and forced.

Come on sereus?? How can someone be healthy mentally and go to live in germany!!!!! Think people JUST THINK. What is this a kidding?????

Oh yessss, many, many,many people are coming to germany. Secure, hahaha

Germany needs open carry gun law.

this is one of the most misleading videos i have ever seen.

Not for much longer the less Germany is German.

Well i lived in many countries . Deffently learn the language ,otherwise it would be difficualt . Well we have a big gap culturally we Iranian are very worm and polite people that how we are raised . But german oh my god you feel this country have not been in human civilisation compare to us . Had it not been for the german technick and Benz and on.... You feel that they just arrived from the woods . Sorry I am just been honest

High tax low income

Türk kız Almanya’ya kadar gitmiş ama İngilizce aksanı bok gibi şaka mı

Really great that they come here from their third world countries to get educated for free from my tax money and then go back home. How nice, I just love working for not even my own people
