What's the hardest part of life in Germany? 

yeah, I did think wow he just gave deutsche bahn a 10/10 🤣

Deutsche Bahn before privatization was great. and yes, trains in the US got nothing on trains in europe. they don't go anywhere, they are slow as christmas, oh, and happy new year.

Avoid at all cost... that's a bit over the top. I think they've improved. And ppl tend to forget that not all delays are caused by them, but also by passengers or other ppl. For example when police needs to be called or ppl walking on the rails. The DB App (previously for the word "App here" so that gave a false statement) has gotten really good now, too! I can have all tickets in one place now. But it's the German way to underappreciate things I guess 😅

You have no idea what an average 1h train ride looks like in the US. Believe me a german train ride is luxury, even when it is 10mins late.

@@christophrichter2612 Dont know. I took the ICE 12 times last year. E V E R Y S I N G L E O N E was delayed. Ranging from 5 minutes to 3 hours. Is taking the train more comfortable than driving a car or flying? Yes! Does Deutsche Bahn has to improve massively to get even close to the 10/10? Also yes.

Yeah, we originally had that idea. But then we thought it would be cool to see the germans point also. The guy with the pink hat is also german. Have a nice day :)

@@yourtruebrit The lady at 2:44 comes across as a racist. She reminds me of people I've met in the USA. I'm tired of people who think that ONLY white people make racist comments. It goes both ways!

"eight year old children can safely use the super public transport to go to school on their own" East Germany is not full of "refugee"-migrants yet, so its pretty safe. big cities in the west are not safe and even smaller towns in the west are problematic.

True most of the foreign students in university I have met just want to study here for getting a very good degree relatively cheap, whilst making experience in a foreign country to then go and work somewhere else. Yet a few want to stay for different reasons :). Most of these actually didn’t plan to stay in Germany in advance but decided so after living here for a while. I had this Indian roommate who was telling me of how in love he is with our workculture including the work and all the free time he is getting lol.

@@Schwachsinnn A lot of foreigners who study in Germany leave because the netto salary is just too low in comparison to other countries. I have German friends with Master degree who got only 1800€ netto in Bayern. If you still live with your parents it is ok but paying rent and living it is relly bad. The state should support educated people but they punish them with the highest taxes, no wonder only harz 4 and asylants want to live here.

@@Micha-bp5om Actually you get paid well here. Depending on what work you do. Also not every master degree even in the US would lead to a higher salary than 1.8 k. The reason I see most are leaving a gain is 1. because home is calling them back 2. because Germany is German speaking. Many of the foreign students don't really try to learn the language, since their courses etc. are mostly English held and they group up in their groups sharing the same cultural background (Chinese mostly staying with Chinese, Indians with Indians, Nigerians with... you guessed it). So it is definetely more convenient to go to other English speaking countries (Ireland, USA, Australia etc.) than having to learn the language when you are completely on your own in the job and housing etc. market. Yes there are countries with higher salaries, but honestly for most foreign students who come here to study it's more than they are used to.

Those who work - stuck at their dusty offices, sipping cheap coffee at townhall meeting, listening to mumbling of another CEO and thinking of suicide. Those who get out on a street are by default way happier than majority of a working class.

The pension system has supposedly been collapsing for decades, but so far nothing has happened.

That's what people in Germany has been saying for the past 30-40 years, but yet it's still going. Stop letting fear mongers get the best of you. And you do get something back in the form of quality of life. Come to the US where you pay taxes, but yet you still have pay money when you break a bone and owe student loans out of the wazoo. Growing up in Germany and now having lived in the US, I can honestly say appreciate what Germany has to offer.

Ich habe es auch gehört von einem deutschen Freund. Dabei habe ich ein gemischtes Gefühl.

This is very interesting, I never imagined Germany of all places would resist technology making life a little easier.

@@jpegm4fia Germans have very strong sense for traditions and hate changes. That is mostly the reason. Their motto is rather "Slow but sure" than "First and pioneers".

Hi Filip, I am German and I lived for 20 years in CZ. There is a strong and very reasonable reason for the resistance against digitalization in Germany - the same reason why we prefer cash money and not card payments: we do not want that all our life can be tracked by anybody - mainly for business reasons, but it can also be used for fraud, for blackmailing etc. In CZ protection of personal datas only exists in theory, but not in reality. It is very simple to destroy the life of somebody in CZ by putting some infos on the internet about this person - even Czech police puts personal datas on internet, which is totally crazy. The extremest digitalization is in China - what does it tell you? China is a dictatorship, by the way.

@@kralikkral5560 Hi. This is not the first time I am talking with German about this topic. I have to say I absolutely understand the fear of giving up your personal data or being watched. Especially as there are countries like China or Russia who basically openly invade Europe in cyberspace and are trying to get as much from us as they can. It is a valid argument. I myself chose not to buy products from chinese companies. (Yes, everything is manufactured in China, but not everything has the chinese software in it.) However I don't think not using a card to pay for something will really help that much. Yes, you can get scammed, robbed or even tracked. But that mostly happens if you give your card details to somebody you should not. If you missuse the card payment. Cash is tracked too, every note has a number and we do know that there are institutions whose work is to track people's activities trough money. What is the difference then? Cash as well can be scammed or stolen. It's just about the manipulation and having control. Not the means. I would never pay with a card online or log into an account, on device I do not own. On the other hand, Germans do not want to use cards or are against google maps, but are okay using chinese phones from companies directly connected to chinese government. That is crazy in my point of view.

Best way is to join a sports club in my experience^^

@@yourtruebrit 😆 you got to be a certain type of "Außengeländer" though to get asked and to be interesting to know where you're from.. otherwise you might be seen as a threat to "whatever".

@@yourtruebrit It must be really hard for foreigners, probably much harder because being in a foreign place forces you to adapt to how life is being lived there, so you do feel a bit out of place at first, and at some point you would just like to belong to the family - but people have lives and you’re not the center of their attention. That’s quite harsh to realize. I had to realize that when I went to live in France. But it is true that being from another country gets people asking questions which usually leads to a big, nice convo indeed :) ….At the same time in France: French people at Church asking me as an exchange student: Do we still have to fear Germans? …I was torn between 1. getting upset, being, as I was, in France because I was interested, had my bf there etc - and 2. telling them with a straight face that I was actually a spy.)

Invite your neighbors to the party if possible

That and maybe turn the noise a little bit down after midnight out of respect for your neighbours. Nobody has a problem with a party but if someone doesnt respect others you will have a problem. Simple thing imagine you have to get up the next day and someone blasts the music so loud you hear it on the other side of the town through closed windows and earplugs, you´d also be on a killing spree the next day due to not getting any sleep.

I am so related to the first point. Especially when I invite a friend to eat something. My German friends will react with skeptical looks and question "what is it inside", not for a reason like an allergy at all 😅They are always skeptical about everything and never take a risk, in general. Sometimes I feel like they've missed so much fun in life. But it probably does not matter, as long as they feel comfortable.

That's true. But the stuff being said by those ignorant people are mostly by those, who never had to depend on the state and can't get of of their job they hate to do ^^" I just pity my other german citizens for it. They are dissatisfied with their own life and now try to argue with anyone they can as a target 🥲

My husband (German) and I married 12 years ago. He got a letter the month after our wedding saying basically, "If you pay your student loan now it will only be 4,500 euro instead of 8,000 (something to that effect)". I had some savings so helped him pay it off at the cheaper rate. He studied engineering. In Australia that degree would have been a 25,000 euro plus repayment! I was so happy to hear his degree was not nearly as expensive as an Aussie one.

Is that good to have a student debt? 🤔

@@gadrark8056 Depends on the amount and what the debt is for. I have friends with 100k debts and others with 4.

Yeah but only a very few people get the privilege for such a high amount of Bafög… he doesn‘t looked very poor and still get the highest amount of bafög - that is very very uncommon especially if you already graduated and be (theoretically) able to care for yourself

I am Asian, now a citizen of Germany. While there are some good things about the system in Germany, there are many unnecessary restrictions, regulations and limitations. Yes, that is correct - almost everything is overregulated and overcomplicated. So I am also thinking of moving somewhere else in the near future. May I know where you emigrated to? I lived in America and Thailand for many years. Even in those countries life was much easier in some aspects, although I prefer Germany to America.

@@clairechloe5294 can you give examples?

@@clairechloe5294 I actually live in the US these days. The lifestyle in the US seems to vary by region rather drastically, and I have lived in the Midwest as well as California, and the slower pace in Ohio suits me rather well. Traveling to Germany still feels weird, as I do speak the language, but many daily aspects of life have become somewhat foreign to me, from payment systems to public transportation. However, looking at Germany more from tourist's perspective makes me appreciate it a little more. I've never been to Thailand, I'm afraid.

I also left Germany because of racism, ridiculously high taxes, unorganized public transportation, aging infrastructure, bureaucracy, bad weather and may other reasons. 3 years now and it was the best decision of my life.

@@newlybornman2272 With racism I mean when it comes to finding a job or renting a place in a good neighborhood. Even if you were born in Germany, if your name and your appearance don't seem to be German you are considered a second class citizen or like they say "Ausländer"

Yes. It's like that in general. But I don't know if "times are changing" but this is what happened to me a few weeks ago (I'm "born and bred German" btw). I went to Kaufland and normally, I'll always take a trolley. But there were none as the shop was packed that day, so I took a shopping basket instead. Since I had about 25 items, rather than putting the basket on top of the the other stacked-up ones right before the cash-out, I kept it in my hand after putting my items on the conveyor belt. When it was my turn, the cashier told me to put the basket with the others. I said I'll bring it back right after I'm done putting my stuff into my bags, but she was having none of it.

That's literally one of my favourite things about Germany 🤣 also what winter? Don't ever visit Canada!

@@indrinita Actually most of Canada´s population lives on roughly the same latitudes as southern Germany or even beneath. Montreal, Toronto, Québec, Ottawa and Hamilton are all on northern Italy latitudes! Thus most Canadians get longer days in winter than I do here in northern Germany, to which of your bigger cities, only Edmonton and Saskatoon compare. So if it´s not one of those cities I´d gladly come visit and enjoy more daylight than at home 🙂

@@hillbillly6963 well I'm from Calgary which I suppose some could say is in those "southerly" latitudes - actually just 3 hours driving south of Edmonton - and we had like 8 hours of sunlight in the dead of winter, max. My husband's from northern Germany and I did my master's up there, and the difference was *maybe* a half an hour of sunlight less in the dead of winter (if even that), but it was about 8 hours of daylight as well. The main difference between where I'm from and northern Germany is that we get actual sunlight every day of the year almost, while most of Germany is cloudy and grey during the "winter". But the temperatures are more like a Canadian fall to be honest (not including the Canadian west coast, where they also don't have winter). So I get how people with seasonal affective disorder might find Germany hard, but temperature and snow wise - imo Germany has no winter. And if you're ok with -30°C temperatures on the reg for literally half the year, then be my guest in Canada. Also the season that Germans call "winter" is again *maybe* 2-3 months before spring like temperatures abound again. It's the summers in Germany I can't handle. Absolutely horrible. But they're getting worse across Canada as well due to climate change.

@@indrinita You are right, the difference between Calgary and Hamburg at winter solstice is about 30 minutes, summing up to many, many hours over the course of autumn and winter. You are also right about this half of the year being mostly cloudy and grey here, resulting in even less sunlight. However, I´m still a bit confused - the question was what the hardest part about living in Germany was for me (it´s the darkness) - then you jumped in to invalidate my answer and kept telling me that it is cold and snowy in Canada. I don´t know why 🤷‍♂

@@hillbillly6963 oh my intention was definitely not to invalidate, so sorry if it came across that way. As a Canadian living in Germany, I just find it ironic that many Germans don't like my favourite part of the year in Germany. In your case it was because of the darkness, but most complain about the cold. But I also acknowledged in my comment above that I can understand for those who suffer from SAD that the German "winter" can be hard, such as it is. In either case, I just don't feel that there's such a thing as "winter" here compared to what I'm used to, and that's what I was trying to get across.

it's because more people wanna move to German cities than there is place to offer. Only in 2022 1.5 million refugees came to Germany. They'll be prioritized on the housing market over you (assuming you aren't coming as a refugee) because the govmnt pays the tennants sweet sums to house refugees instead of standard citizens (the idea itself is meant well but the execution causes harm to non-refugees).

​@@NoctLightCloud may i know whats the reason they spend more for refugees?

@@gameofdrones9354 If you rent out to refugees, you can basically say any sum and the govmt will pay it for the refugees to you. You can charge 3000€/month for an old shack that's run down. (My sister knows a dude who is doing that, he gets 3000€/month for his run down house.) You don't have to renovate anything, just rent it to people that the govmnt will pay for. Since "the govmnt" isn't a person, they don't care what the housing accomodations look like or how much they cost. We'll see a drop in living standard within the next two decades, or a straight-out civil war. Mark my sad words.

@@karllarsen8797 I have visited Spain many times, but never lived there for more than 6 weeks. But since Europe is governed from Brussels and all specifications (and laws) are aligned across all countries, the mentality has also changed accordingly. In addition, Spain is not necessarily comparable with South America, just because they share a common language. Already climatically it behaves differently.

And I think Germans should chill a bit if someone throw once in a lifetime a party at home.

@@lucasp.9684 Well if it's a dorm for a few hundred people and everyone celebrates their birthday once a year, that means loud party noises basically every night. But i guess consideration is just not your thing, is it?

Or just any place that's not densely populated, renting grill huts in the middle of nowhere is a good option where you can be very loud without anyone there to complain. Many in rural areas have something like that. I checked the prices for the one nearby: for people from outside: 50€ for the first day and 40€ for additional days. It's 10€ less for people who life here. Maximum of 50 people. Though I doubt actually 50 people will fit in there, but they come with a reasonable area around them that's included. They are usually 1-3 km outside the village noise should not be an issue unless you brought very powerful audio equipment.

He just arrived and his first experience in Germany was Deutsche Bahn. 🤣 And if you have little money and just got by with it in another country, it does not help you personally that others earn more in the place you live now, if you don’t do so as well. Besides, the things he mentions are the things most expats complain about in the beginning and many Germans do so as well… so he might have a point there. 🙂

@@kaddy0306 Ich glaube Pavlo hat nichts offensives geschrieben und nirgendwo hat er gesagt, dass Spanien besser als Deutschland ist oder so. Deine Nachricht zeigt uns nur wie unglücklich du bist:(

When U move to a different country you have to be ready for cultural differences, or culture schocks as Americans call it. Get used to it. If Not, feel free to Return.

Pretty much. Politically she could be 'German,' but not ethnically.

@@thomervin7450If by politically it is meant that deranged woke modernists would consider her thusly, sure I suppose so.

@@yzz4406 Totally agree. The arrogance seems to be a specialty only of a few countries. Just hope China and its people won't get this mental cancer from any of them. Like never. And keep being proud of who they really are.

There are white people in Asia complaining about this, especially in Japan, so why can’t she complain?

@@user-3aa6234fh it is ridiculous, show me a European complaining about this

How are shipments in other countries handled when you are not a home at the time the package is arriving? And if it helps you can always use "Packstationen" where you can go and get your stuff any time of the day once it arrived, you just have to make a dhl account and hopefully have a packstation near your home or work where it can be delivered to

I only know how it handled in Ukraine. So, first of all courier will call you before he’ll decide to deliver shipment to you. If something goes wrong and you’re not at home - he’ll trying to call you again. If this doesn’t help - then your shipment goes back to post office where you can take your shipment by yourself. I think this is better flow. Instead of bringing your shipment to third person.

im trying to get my shipments only to packstation, even if i pay a couple of euros more. i hate it to wait for the spedition person to deliver a package, when he rings i rush to the building door and i find him already wanting to leave. so when possible have your stuff delivered to packstation, when not packstation prepare to organize how you handle the delivery. there were also situations when they delivered to a tankstelle (gas station), you are informed and can pick package up from there during the next 2-3 days.

@@88medoff I personally prefer the postman giving it to my neighbor. My neighbor is right next door while the post office may be a few kilometres away. Calling beforehand seems like an interesting idea but I have problems imagining the postman delivering multiple hundred packages per day and calling every single person beforehand. I've seen in the DHL-App that with some packages you can "track" your delivery and see where your postman is right now and the estimated time of arrival but I'm not sure whether this works for every package or only some

Wait till you see this new one ;)

No doubt. Doesn't take a wild guess or him calling it "our society".

Yeah we have about 50% foreigners, because their education system just sucks (e.g. Vietnam)

Truth

We like to be number 1 on everything, but its really hard to achieve - 😉

As a German I'm annoyed by this too sometimes. I had a really bad case recently. Toxic personality. I think often you can tell how much/little someone enjoys their job by how much they complain. For some people complaining is everything that gets them through their work day.

Maybe, just maybe the urge to complain is linked to the desire for improvements? I think about this very often and I always wonder

@@1DarkBlossom Often but not always.

That are some arabs, not germans: they even say, they arent. In the 1980s, criminals came from Libanon, who created a mafia, which gio stronger in the last 40 years. But some day, we will crush them. Sadly even lots of Turks, who were in my class, were racists against us Germans. They were second and thrid generations: this anti-german hate will result into a war one day and than we show them, that they wont defeat our tanks and military. Sadly, millions of moslems will die, but they gonna ask for it. They think, Allah made Europe and Europe needs to be islamic. Our old generations gave us lots of problems, but lots of knowledge as well. We will make Germany good. Anti German partys like CDU and SPD get weaker every year, because the voters die of old age.

Sweden has the same problems now and 10-15 years ago it was fine. No coincidence at all

Clients are the same everywhere. In France, the problems started in the 90s. The other western governments should have seen that. The Eastern European countries, on the other hand, have learned from the mistakes of the West

@@inotoni6148 indeed. That's a reason why I admire many Eastern European countries. Don't think that something will change in the next years. Client's is a good word for them. I think I will start to use it

Well, it depends on the kinds of immigrants. It is the failure of German society, government(maybe) and media as well not to recognise the differences of different parts of the world and their cultures and what would fit in the value system you have/want to change. For example, I'm from Bengal, India and Indians are the highest number of blue card holders (given to immigrants above a certain income threshold) of Germany and Indian Americans by percentages are the richest in USA out of all "ethnic groups" apart from Jewish Americans, if you don't count them to be among "white Americans". Similarly, South East Asian and East Asian immigrants also do decently well but of course, I am not generalising any ethnic group including Indians. My point is that each immigrant/expat or anybody ought to be judged individually and if you talk about statistics and group identities, then also different ethnic groups and groups in general need to be categorised individually and not just how they look for example (for instance, many middle Easterns look like me, a fair skinned Indian). So, just like it is the responsibility of each individual to behave well, it is also the responsibility of others to make proper judgement, whether that judgement involves giving permit to stay in a particular place through government or simply reacting upon seeing the person in the street. For example, if a fair skinned Indian comes across you (by you, I mean anybody, not you specifically and I don't know you) on the street, learn not to jump to conclusions about his background, let's say assume that he's from middle East, and learn that he might be in one of the highest tax bracket, behaving well and in fact, may even return back to his country or some other place as many Indians tend to do (not saying it's necessarily a good thing but Indians stay on average 5.3 years in Germany compared to 15.3 of all foreigners). And, also let others and the government know about this as well so that the message well across the board and this would be good thing for the society in general and the well meaning immigrants as well, who are helping themselves and the society as well. And, btw, I am not being prejudiced against middle easterns (I'm sure many middle Easterns behave well and are valuable contributors to the society) and I am just giving their examples because that and some other groups are taken as an example by the side who speaks upon this issue and that probabalistically their cultures are thought to be quite antithetical to the cultures of the society in question. Basically, I am saying to make proper value judgement of each entity (group or individual) specifically with nuance.

Be assured, the moment you start struggling with the German language you get an answer in fairly comprehensible English. You will never get lost this way. So no worries.

When you’re past 60, never mention your age to anyone. Nothing good can come of it 👍

There's a difference between nationality and ethnicity.

Thumbnail never lies :D

These “guests” pay the same taxes as you which pays for your elders pensions, aaand are keeping the standard your country want to be since you guys don’t make enough kids to keep the German economy as it is. Immigrants should be grateful for the opportunity but Germans should also be grateful for the fact that these immigrants are doing what you can’t do just by yourself. Germany might not want immigrants but it NEEDS them so stop acting like you’re doing a favor. P.S. No “guests” want to mix up with people like you anyways.

​@@evothenew3333Right. Germany has an ageing population and a below replacement birthrate. It seems that women only have one child, so they need to bring in "Auslander". Or maybe Germany could encourage and incentivise the population to have more children. Cognitive dissonance mixed with racism is quite the mixture.😮😮😮

Walking up to anybody with the first question being "where are you from" is rude. However, talking to somebody for a while and "then"asking that question is totally acceptable. But if they don't have an accent, that should be a hint

To ask where you are from to one foreigner means two things: 1. I want to date with you. 2. I want to know why you are so fucked up.

@@everythingisfine9988 That's not rude, you're just angry lol

yep were doing another episode this Saturday :)

😂😂😂

I heard this alot! in munich 100%

And americans are all fat and british people all have bad teeth huh. Give these stereotypes a break

then you need to move to Freiburg

An eye for an eye makes the world blind

I, a German woman, would have made you very welcome. I would have served you bulgogi and homemade kimchi to make you feel good. By the way, I often cook Korean. :) Unfortunately we didn't meet. There are very different people all over the world. Stay open and friendly!

Whenever I hear about racism from Korea I always laugh because here in America Asians are treated much, much worse. They don't even have any of the privileges that foreigners get in Korea. You are treated like garbage through and through. I love Korea and wish Korea stopped emulating the West. To find another non-ignorant person like me especially a Korean is very refreshing to see.

@@Emerald_Forge Nope. Asian people in the West are treated much worse than any group going into Asia. I do not understand the stereotype that Asians are more racist cause it is not true.

What a healthy mindset lol

How is that? I am interested to know why it's bad.

​@@2carlosa I personally think the system is average but there are some negative aspects. For example: - Some teachers are indifferent about what is going on. When pupil is having problems with another one the teachers sometimes just ignore that. There are cases where when you start to defend yourself you get punished. They don't care if they are just or unjust they just want to have their peace and don't help you. - Bullying. There was also in my school bullying but that wasn't a big problem since people here are friendly and peaceful. In bigger cities you will see much more bullying. - Some children getr way to early sxualized and not only about what the differences between males and females are but also how sex works, LGBT and so on. This is harmful for the children. - More and more kids start at an early age to use drugs, alcohol and to smoke in school. - Out digital media are old and slow. For example the PCs are slow, the overhead projectors sometimes don't work and a couple of times the internet connection didn't work. - The are not enough teachers in school. Which means the teachers are more stressed out and the pupils get less education that they should. There are some videos in german about our school system which I havn't yet watched but they also explain why our school system is bad.

@@2carlosa it starts with the idea, that there are 3 Types of humans: these who are not intelligent at all, these who are a bit better than the totally dumb and those who are the elite. When our children are 9 years old, teachers sort them in one of these 3 categories, and from the 5th grade on, they go to one of 3 types of schools, that are preparing the children for their predicted social rule. Usually they will send you to the same school type, that your parents had to visit, because most teachers have internalized the idea, that it is a matter of perantal background whether you are smart or not. Most of the children who are supposed to go to the lowest level school are the ones with a history of migration in their families. Therefore the German school system is one of the most social inequitable in Europe. If not THE most inequitable. This system is based on the idea of the three social classes of the 19th century and the least people in Germany seem to question this circumstance in the 21st century.

@@suspunk.germany I also don't agree with this system! Is there a formal exam supporting this segregation, right?!

@@2carlosa no, there are no exams. The decision is based on the marks the child received throughout the third grade. But there are plenty of scientific trials, that prove, that the marks the children are receiving are oftentimes or very likely depending on their social status and ethnicity. This is of course not supposed to be like this, but the valuation system in german schools is unfortunately not objective enough, to prevent this. And an education system like this is perpetuating itself, because teachers usually were allowed to get their education, because they were estimated to have the ability to study as they were 9, because they oftentimes have had parents who were well educated themselves. Therefore they have got a unconsciously manifasted idea of supremacy of their class, that is affecting their own judgement. It is sort of a caste system if you like. Germany is getting a lot of criticism for this practice from the OECD and the EU Government, but there is no change in sight so far.
