Oh, wow! So how fluent are you in Japanese? Canada is an "officially bilingual" country, so I can get some French. But what I do is translate in my head from French to English. Which slows down my "processing speed". I can understand somewhat but can't converse. After awhile it becomes too mentally taxing and I just have to withdraw. I admire people who learn a second language as an adult. Germans like Feli learn English from an early age in school. Aside from French, your average Canadian doesn't usually have a second language. And after French, the third languages here can be Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi and Tagalog. In a multicultural country like mine.

Feli, I have to salute your absolute mastery of the English language. I am a retired college professor who taught foreign languages, and I have many foreign friends. I am always shocked that people who have lived in this country for 20 years or more can barely put together a sentence in English, and even then they might not be understood. Others got to a certain stage of English, and since that seemed to work for them, that's where they stayed. I have been subscribed to your channel since you began, and your English was already very good, but now it's perfect, in both fluency and pronunciation.

Of course living 20 years in any foreign country without learning the local language is proof of laziness. However, US citizens speak hardly foreign languages at all. I live in Europe and most American tourists only speak English (and think they can pay in US dollars). That's ignorant. I speak 5 languages fluently, get by in a sixth and master basics of a seventh language. That's not unusual among European academics, I don't think that I am especially skilled. The majority of American professors I have met (and there are tens of them) only speak English so even on the highest level of education the language skills can be poor. Probably that reflects American exceptionalism. Most Europeans think that the majority of Americans are ignorant - and I think for a good reason.

​@@pekkaahonen5955 There's no reason to learn another language as an American. America is its own economy. It's enormous. And English is the most spoken language, anyway. Of course Europeans know several different languages. Going from one country to another in Europe is like driving to a different state in America. If different languages were spoken in our states, with people moving between the states, I'm sure many Americans would speak several languages, too. Many Americans are ignorant, yes, but not speaking more than one language is more of a practical decision than anything - it's simply not needed.

No one is going to dedicate 1000+ plus hours to learn a new language when there is literally 0 upside to doing so.

I have visited Germany many times mostly for business but on several vacations as well. I found the people to be friendly and I was amazed how many Germans speak English with many I would though they were British and I met several who I would have believed they were American. The food was different, but I liked it all. I never did get used to the price of gas or buying it by the liter. My favorite places were Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Amberg, and Heidelberg. Germany is very scenic. Amberg looked like it hadn't changed since the Medieval times. Wonderful people. Heidelberg was quaint with lots of out door dinning and lots of people. I was surprised to see several palm trees there because it seemed to be too far north, but there they were. I did visit a small town called Moosburg (not far from Munich) for sentimental reasons. My dad was a B-17 pilot during the War and was shot down over Holtland on July 26, 1943 by Senior Lieutenant Decker flying a FW-190. Five of my dad's crew were killed and five, including my dad, bailed out and were captured. My dad told me that when he landed on the ground, angry farmers with farm tools wanted to kill him, but a German patrol looking for the downed crew actually saved his life. Decker was shot down and killed on July 30, 1943 by an unknown American P-47 pilot. Such are the whims of war. The Germans kept very detailed records. The Americans not so much. My dad was in Stalag Luft III until January 1945 when the entire POW camp was moved to Stalag VIIA outside of Moosburg where he remained until liberated by the advanced forces of Patton's Third Army in April 1945. So I was visiting Moosburg to see if I could find where Stalag VIIA had been. I found the old train station and the camp wasn't too far from there but it wasn't obvious where the camp had been. I went in to a local bar and asked if anyone spoke English. To my surprise and old man with gray hair spoke enough to understand that I wanted to know where Stalag VIIA had been and he took me to where the front gate to the camp had been. I had a map of the camp from 1945 that showed where the different nationalities had been kept. There were Russian, French, British, and American sectors. There were enough streets and other landmarks remaining that I could identify where the Americans had been kept. It was a housing area so I only knew the general area. I paid my respects to my dad and imagined where in that area he had been. It was February and bitter cold that day and I knew the camp was very over crowded and there were not enough barracks to house them all and so many lived and slept in the cold. I can't image it. There was one other city I visited for a few days: Frankfurt. I happed to be there during Octoberfest and very much enjoyed the street vendors selling sausages and beer. Later that night I walked across the bridge to what was called "Old Frankfurt" because the Frankfurt in which I enjoyed Octoberfest looked like it had been built in the 1950's and 60's and I wondered what Old Frankfurt was like. I ended up in what I would describe as a small rustic beer garden where everyone was celebrating the Apple Wine Festival and so I enjoyed a couple glasses of Apple Wine. There was no evidence of Octoberfest that I could see in Old Frankfurt. It was an odd experience for me. And one thing I really enjoyed was the fact there seemed to bakeries and coffee shops along almost every street. I liked everything about Germany and I would like to return but I'm now 77 and age is becoming an issue with regards to travelling long distances. Get your adventures and fun done while you are young and healthy.

I think a lot of the accent comes from the teacher. I know I met a Russian a while back that sounded like he was from NYC but he basically learned English watching American TV shows so guess that is where he picked up the accent. I am sure there has to be American or British teachers across Europe. Just like here when I took Spanish classes most the teachers were from either Spain or Puerto Rico.

Boar spears have these lugs behind the spearhead because otherwise they will work their way down the shaft to make sure they take you with them. I don't fear much in the way of wildlife here, I just give it a healthy distance and try to avoid looking like a danger.

(Of course, there is practically no such thing as "suburbia" in most of Europe, so it's pretty understandable.)

Hello Feli and family. My first memory, here in UK, was seeing on TV my dad kick in the door at an armed siege for armed officers to storm in. He was a police officer for thirty years without having a gun. After arriving in US, the open carry was really a shock. I saw someone in a baseball cap with a gun through the motel window in Nashville. My friend laughed and pointed out it was the security guard. Later, in Texas, it was clear that out in the desert, far from any help, you might want a gun, if only because there are huge animals, unlike UK. I was taken to a gun fair and offered a Chinese made kalashnikov cheap. When I said I was from UK, I was offered a hand gun on private sale even cheaper and with no documentation, which it was up to me to get later. The family in Texas had ancestors there before the English speakers. They taught me how to cook their "Tex Mex" food, that was more "Mex" and really good and not like the fast food version. In Canada, my friend's sister in law just stood taking photos of a huge brown bear, whilst we British sat in the car shouting "bear". She said they had large animals on the family farm all the time as kids. In the north of California, I skipped over to a lighthouse, from where I saw fishing with very large rods on the shore. I looked in the water, over which I jumped to see a huge fin. The "jaws" music started inside my head, like the loudest of earworms.

Hedgehogs are NOT rat-like ! They are cute wee things, like miniature but more friendly Porcupines (from American point of view), or from an Australian point of view, I'd describe them as appearing like miniature Echidna. English hedgehogs were introduced to New Zealand back in the 1800's by British immigrant gardeners arriving on the wooden sailing ships (or steamerships), to control snails and insect pests on their vegetables. However Hedgehogs are now considered a pest animal as they can eat ground nesting birds baby chicks and eggs (NZ having no native land mammals and being a country with flightless birds filling available ecological niches).

I am sorry to hear that your sister was not able to find the food she wished to eat. That would not be fun for her.

About 1 year ago there was a young american influencer complaining about the fact that in the Costiera Amalfitana ( Amalfi coast in Italy ), which is very steep in certain places with amazing and typical little towns with great landscapes over the sea, you have to walk a lot and step up and down to reach the town center and other characteristic places. She was angry because there were no escalators and she warned the potential american visitors not to go there. For us italians is sounded so weird that they spoke about that in the news. Apart the fact that it would be impossible to build escalators in some places , probably it would also destroy the beauty of that little towns. Walking through such old towns and reach hidden little streets and discover special places is part of the experience. The complaining influencer was young and healthy and the places she was talking about were not the mount Everest but reachable by a 10 min walk or so. I love to use my bicycle to go to work for example, which is a 15 min ride. It would take me more time if I had to use my car , park and so on. A daily1 hours walk should be a normal and easy ( and very healthy ) activity for almost everybody. My mother is 85 and she still walks every day to town center. She is slow, but still walking.

@@Theomite I'm not so sure about that. Watch "American Graffiti." Yes, it is dated to 1950s car culture, but the town I grew up in the 60s and 70s had what was referred to as "The Gut." It was a street in town that people would get in their cars and cruse up and down with seemingly no destination - just to be out in their cars driving and to be seen. The city government passed anti-cruising laws and posted signs on the street against cruising, but that just moved the traffic to another street from time to time. A few years ago, I talked to someone who was into street racing when they were growing up in southern california. The last time I was in my hometown I found myself on one of The Gut streets behind someone in a pickup who had jacked it up so much, it they got rear-ended the vehicle hitting them from behind would have missed the bumper on the truck and struck the trucks rear tires.🤦‍♂

Experiences will be different in different cities. In Atlanta, you would find numerous parks filled when the weather is nice and still active when it is not so nice. Also, the Cincinnati MSA is 2.3 million which is a better comparison to Munich. Sports vary more from how important it is. Playoff baseball, pennant race baseball and rival baseball is very different. College football can also be much more intense. But, it depends on the team being played. Finally, if you are cooking out, on a grill, you are grilling. People in the North always talk about barbecuing when they are actually grilling. Barbecue is low heat and slow cooking over 12 hours. You are not barbecuing just because you use a grill.

The ironic thing about the guns, even though it seems a bit counterintuitive and it can feel uncomfortable seeing someone walking around with a gun, is that the people open carrying are actually the last ones to worry about - the fact that they are open carrying indicates that they are (very likely) law-conscious. They might believe in carrying to protect themselves, their family and the general public if needed but they are doing it the "right way." The people up to no good don't care about that and I would bet you guys have all come across more people secretly carrying illegally than open carrying and that's the more scary thing IMO

Two years ago I went to a range for the first time… and loved it. Now I own 10 guns lol! Of course it’s not just Europeans that can look down on guns… many in this country do too.

It’s not unlike how it is for some people learning to drive, perhaps being fearful initially of controlling a 4,000 pound machine that could kill in seconds if you failed to control it properly. But that fear goes away as you get more and more comfortable behind the wheel.

@@joeterp5615 My brother-in-law was like that. I took him to the range and started him out with some 22LR handguns and then moved him up to 9x19mm. He was doing okay until I pointed to a big 44Magnum stainless-steel revolver with an 8" barrel and asked him, "You wanna try this one?" (For folks who don't know guns, 22LR goes spit spit spit, 9x19mm goes pop pop pop, and 44Magnum goes BOOOOM!) He was wary and cautious, but he said okay. I loaded one cartridge and gave him a quick primer about dealing with heavy recoil in a handgun. He held it out, winced, began trembling as he squeezed the hammer back, and then...BOOOOM! He turned to me with huge eyes and stared at me wordlessly for a few seconds. Then, slowly, a tiny smile started on his face and grew and grew until it was huge. "Can I...can I do that again?" he asked. If you don't know guns, they can be scary. Once you know guns, it's not the _guns_ that are scary, it's the _people_--some of them. I have...ah...stories.

I was stationed in Germany for 2 years and I can't tell you how many times I was out in the town and I would need to ask for some sort of directions or something and I would ask in German if they understood English. Either I got completely ignored (which to Germans does not come off as being rude) or the response I would get is "a little bit" and then they would proceed to have a full-on conversation in English with the only broken parts being just not knowing certain words for certain things lol.

Don't know how I stumbled on this, but what a joy to hear three lovely, articluate people discuss impressions of a foriegn land in a second language, and make more sense than many locals. Living in Canada, therr's one impression of the US I didn't hear (which also applies to us) and that's that our countries are stinking big. We don't measure road trips in miles or kilometers, but in hours or days, something that I first noticed when relatives from Scotland, visiting my parents in BC, Canada, fancied a a quick drive to see Niagara Falls. Three days of hard, 'round the clock driving one way at best. They argued with my mum that it didn't look that far on the map, until she showed them that when you take map scale in mind, the entire British Isles fits nicely within our one province and that Canada is way bigger than Europe. They got grumpy after that. As for bears, there's the old joke warning in our area about being careful when bears are active. Hikers are told to wear little bells to give the bears notice that you're in their area so they can feel safe and move away but that, just in case, you should carry pepper (bear) spray. As a further piece of advice one needs to be able to identify what bears are around by observing their scat (poop). Black bear scat has berries and tufts of squirrel fur. Grizzly bear scat contains little bells and smells like pepper.

In Utah we also have regulations on skylines because we are surrounded by mountains, and so our capital will not allow massive buildings over certain heights. Every city capital city of each county in Utah's counties is located next to a mountain that peak off at 9,000 to 10000 feet (close to over 4000 meters) because we are in the Rockies. That is a fact and you can look it up. The more you drive down our interstate (I-15) corridor, you will notice and see mountains on both sides (east and west). We like it like this. Some states have similar regulations like Idaho etc., But in Chicago, NY on the East Coast an even coastal California, it's not that way. etc., they don't do that. I cannot even stand to be down in Denver because of this issue. I love living in the Rockies. We prefer to see our mountains and not the tops of buildings, which is very similar to Germany.

Yup. In OH and KY, they have Krogers, so there should be quite a few choices for vegetarians there. At Wendy's they always have a loaded baked potato, most Chinese counters in grocery stores or food courts have a vegetable option as well as a fish option, there is SouperSalad and its many competitors, Subway's veggie sandwich tastes actually really good, most teriyaki places can make a fish teriyaki and it usually tastes even better than the meat ones, and then there is the whole world of buffet style restaurants, or cafeteria style restaurants, even though the pandemic has killed off way too many of them. But some are still around. Also, any southern cooking, or soul food cooking place should have at minimum a veggie platter, or a loaded potato with two extra sides, or something along those lines, which can make quite a decent veggie meal for on the road. In the south, they serve you okra, and collard greens, and all kinds of bean dishes, besides the more classical veggie choices, and with that you can get yourself a reasonable variety of vegetarian dishes, even while on the road. Oh, and in Japanese restaurants you can get miso soup and veggie tempura, and Indian restaurants, which are becoming more and more frequent at truck stops, given that so much of this industry is moving into Indian family hands, that this new option also makes for a great vegetarian choice, while on the road in the US. Hope, this gives you a few ideas for your next road trip. In fact, its kind of funny, but I have usually gotten vegetarian food when I wanted it in the US, but sometimes a bit boring, but at least available, but where I have encountered notorious difficulties finding vegetarian restaurants, is actually Munich, Germany or all places. There are one or two very upscale fancy vegetarian restaurants, sure, but still, very few for such a big city. Markedly different than let's say Frankfurt or Berlin or Cologne, where there are far more places like that available.
