Welcome back Conner!! I still remember your videos with Silas from back then - so much positive energy. I still thank you for that. I hope you are having a good time in Germany and make some more memories. Why not visit some friends from back then or some castles too, I suggest. 🙂🏰 You have an AC? This can't be Germany!! x
We don't have them in the UK either. It wouldn't work because our windows open outwards so we use curtains or the kinds of blinds you hang up and it doesn't fully shut out the light like in Germany. I've seen the roller shutters in some other European countries though.
Welcome back 🎉❤ I love that you spread positivity and awe for the places and the blessings of every place you visit /visited. The world is so interesting and also as a german myself, home through the eyes of a foreigner is so interesting. The good the bad the ugly... positive vibes but also criticism. It's important to get these different perspectives. I like when people feel welcomed the most of course.❤
Welcome home Conner, i love when you say "Eschterdingen" ,when you say, you dont need a car, i would you invite you to my place ,10 km from the next trainstation, and a bus which drives from monday to friday 2 or 3 times per day, no chance without a car.
Sadly, not all places in Germany that were built before cars are still walkable. Especially smaller villages, where pretty much all stores selling essentials have closed down because of the bigger grocery store chains, which are usually farther away and only reachable by car.
The roladen blinds are very hard to get in America, unfortunately. At least last time we had a few contractors and window companies out. We tried to get them for years before giving up.
Your great -grandmother came from Germany, therefore you are german? I am sorry, but no. You are a US citizen and that is obvious to anyone within the first impression. 😅
What I don´t like about south Germany, that a lot of houses have no colour. Also streets don´t need to be so extreme clean. It is almost like being in a hospital.
Welcome back! and... no offend, but... If someones grand-grad-grand parents immigrated from Germany, YOU aren't German! I mean, you can say that you are half German, when your dad or mom is German. But relatives that long ago... nope. It's so weird when you meet an American who says "I'm 25% italian, 25% british, 25% scandinavian and 25% american." huh? As long as you know who you are...
You are not German because your great-grandmother came from Germany, which by the way did not even exist in this form at that time. You are German because you have the German citizenship and speak the German language. Everything else is bullshit because of historical reasons. Nice Video!
I think even citizenship isn't everything. If you grew up in Germany and you learned everything you know about life there and all the people you grew up with are there, then I consider you German. It's in you and no lack of paperwork can take that away from you.
@@jayw.5810 Here in Germany you will be laughed at if you try to argue that you are German with such absurd constructs as “bloodline”. Any Iranian who speaks German and is well integrated is more German than any American who comes with things like bloodline and has not yet set foot on German soil.
@@lazrseagull54 Yes, but if you grew up in Germany, you have German citizenship. Every German has German citizenship, without which you cannot call yourself German. German citizenship alone is not enough to be German. Things like language and understanding of values and culture are also included, but without a German passport you are not German. I don't know how that would work either?
