It doesn't make sense that plugging a higher voltage appliance into a lower voltage socket would cause it to stop working when you plug it back in the higher voltage country

Shocked some Germans by speaking fluent Russian in Berlin
Comment from : jeff gulbro

the biggest culture shock for me when I went to Germany was the Dutch Toilet me and two friends rented a place outside of Munich for oktoberfest and we never encountered a toilet like that not everywhere had them, but Germany was where we discovered those exist brOther than that, I was surprised at how familiar Germany felt to me, cause I had never been there, I didn't know the language or much about the culture, however it felt like I had lived there before, even sometimes understanding people when they spoke And as cold as some germans were I did manage to hit it off with some people, and someone even tried to take me home with thembrout of everywhere I've been, I miss Germany the most honestly

Mein Nachname ist Hoffman Der Mädchenname meiner Großmutter war Klos Wie normal Deutsch kann man werden? Hitlers Ambitionen waren nicht nötig – wir haben dieses amerikanische Land vor langer Zeit erobert und sind nach wie vor seine größte ethnische Gruppe Also hören Sie auf, sich hier wie ein Fremder zu benehmen, und heißen Sie uns zu Hause willkommen

My favorite story about visiting Germany:brMe: "Wo ist der Hofbrauhaus?"brResponse from a German in Munich: "It's two blocks down and take a right"
Comment from : Tom Weiss

Thanks Interesting

Germans also don’t eat peanut butter It’s not a common grocery item
Comment from : SUSAN TOM

What Americans perceive as rude is just people respecting personal boundaries I like this at restaurants I hate when waiters hover and are constantly checking on you Another important thing to know is not to arrive at someone’s house as a guest empty handed Flowers are the usual thing to take (btw flowers are inexpensive in Germany), Also I may be wrong but I believe in most restaurants you can bring your own wine

you don’t have any accent when you speak english

I visited Gernany a number of times including during Oktoberfest On a side excursion to the Hoff Brau Haus (downstairs bier hallnot the upstairs restaurant) I noted something unique in your restrooms A speibecken (or maybe it's called a kotzbecken) :D That's the first time I ever saw a special sink for someone who had over indulged I won't lie It made me laugh
Comment from : Orson Snow

I’ve always been interested in visiting Germany…until seeing this video There seem to be too many “don’ts” and I didn’t hear that many “do’s” The drinking in public was interesting though Not that I want to get drunk in public, which I am sure would be incredibly boorish but dang, sounds to me like I’d be henpecked for faux pas that most people would commit in good faith

Do the voltage differences have a lot to do with how much Germany solarizes their homes?
Comment from : Edward Hotchkin

Thank You for the informative video I found it refreshing remembering the 6 years, that i lived in Germany It brought back wonderful experiences I wish the states would consider going to some of these Munich is a wonderful city I have been their and loved it my German friends helped explain their way of life to me so that helped Thank you
Comment from : Lawrence Hart

Yeah Got a big surprise when I had to pay by cash at restaurants in Germany (not all, but many restaurants only accept cash, especially small ones), and I had to walk for 16km to withdraw some since I didn't bring enough cash with me that time Cards (all kinds), Apple pay are useless sometimes Be ready for that :))
Comment from : Mai Vu

Sounds so much like Japan, except service and no tipping Great service and tipping is not really necessary as Japanese are trained for good service and might take offense to tips
Comment from : Brett Ogata

Hi Feli, I just found your channel and I'm enjoying the comparison you make between the two countries One point I would disagree with you on is people not being as friendly I sent 20 years in the navy and made quite a few cruises over to the Med After retiring I worked with a programing software frame work from Germany In all my experiences with the different German people I met everyone was a memorable experience the I fondly look back on
Comment from : Bill Semmendinger

Hamburg ist halt eben anders 😂
Comment from : KAMIKAZE

The whole unfriendliness thing makes me want to go there more If the norm is cold and indifferent it means I wont stick out with my unfriendly resting face
Comment from : FireFails

Having lived in Patrick Henry Village near Heidelberg for three years taught me a few lessons 1) Germans do not like you to bring your children into restaurants 2) If you want cream in your coffee, forget it, 3) Brothels are common and not obvious 4) nearly every community has a brewery 5) Cases of beer are often delivered to your door like we used to have dairy products delivered by the milkman 6) Keep your children off the streets, if they were hit, you could be sued by the driver 7) pharmacies only have prescription drugs 8) German produce does not include sweet corn, corn is for hogs 8) Sometimes you will find lard used as salad dressing in buffets 9) Hungarian goulash will bring tears to your eyes 10) Italian Pizza crust is flaky like American pie crust 11) You won't find ice cream 12) Volksmarching is a favorite pastime for Germans on weekends It involves walking down country roads with stops along the way to buy beer and at the end you receive a unique badge for your hat
Comment from : Randy Stalding

Germany is just one region of the beautiful country called Europe, where you can travel everywhere without borders, you can choose where to live and where to work, see many cultures, learn many languages, see different places and where you are free Well, many europeans still have to learn this, but its quite a nice place Come to Europe and decide what you like

Are public transportation and trains in Germany wheelchair accessible?

Why Germans are so rigid socially? Will foreigners take away their treasures!! Thats why?
Comment from : Observer

As a daughter of Volga German, who doesn't speak German or like beer, why are Germans so stand offish? I don't understand that at all It's so not that way here Be prepared Frankfurt for lots of people from Kansas City this year I also recently learned my Dad's family was from Wersau Germany
Comment from : Kimberly Dugger

I do not like the Wohngemeinschaft concept
Comment from : Ninja Nerd Student #69

That's something I just don't get Beer is a social elixir that binds people together, but the big beer drinkers (Germans) don't like small talk It's just illogical

Comment from : PavewayJDAM

My only complaint about movies/television shows being dubbed into English is that it sounds like there are only like 8 voice actors They all sound the same I never noticed it while still living at home, but once I moved to the states in 1993 it blew my mind to realize that the American/British actors that actually voiced/played the part sounded all very different whereas the dubbed version sounded like one voice actor for 27 different American or British actors drives me nuts now when I go home to visit familyLOL

"In Germany", "Germans are"brWhat a dogma!brbrbr1 Germany is huge There are the east and tge west, there are the south (especially Bayern) and the north You have the more racist/flashiest/komonist east Germany, against tge west and so onbrbr2 There are chaos, disorganization, lack of rules in many aspects in so called "Germany and its areasbrbr3 People get rude, laud, involved, yelling and so on Like gangstersbrbr4 There is a huge majority of ignorants, orthodoxes, farmers, uneducated, drunks and provincials all over the placebrbr5 Germany still very analogy and undigitized

Bad customer service, being replied to in English after speaking in that country's language and paying to pee are European, not just German, phenomena

Comment from : Mark Wolf

Nothing too shocking here Did you really have to tell us that Germans use the Euro and Metric System? Are we Americans that dumb that they have to tell us that?

Germans will seem rude except if you've been to New York 😆
Comment from : sloflo

Spent 2 years at Rhein-Main AFB 78-79, explored Frankfurt with fellow airmen on occasion, have a handful of stories, I do remember some bars would not let US military in, we knew why, during our in briefing where told to expect it would happen sense at times when army were stationed temporarily at RM they were known to start fights in downtown bars But the majority of bars were more than welcoming especially if they had live music, more often than not it was a US 😮citizen playing the folk rock music of the 70s Also remember Germans loved our Marlboro cigarettes , I have no idea how many cartons I gave away during that 2 years I’m part German, my grandfather on my mothers side was Schadd, originally Schad, grandpaw changed it thinking they would let him join the army during WW2 if he did, they refused to take him sense he was of German decent

I keep misreading your (current) username as having two L's (Tut mir leid! 😇) and this reminds me of the way Germans describe trains being cancelledbrbrb„Zug fällt aus“/b or, in English; „The train has fallen out“ 🚆⤵😆brbr(Of course, they're saying iThe train has fallen out /ibiof the timetable/i/b But living in a country where the railways are having the very life asset-stripped out of them, this is probably going to become a literal thing here in the next few years 🚅🇬🇧⤵😲)

US actually officially uses metric system Look it up
Comment from : murkotron

i have been going to Germany for about 7 years and i,m English ,so i don't find the Germans stand offish I found it to be a very clean country and beautiful Being English we cross the road at any point and you can see the frustrations on a Germans face the one thing you did miss was the extra payment for a plastic bottle and the expected return of the bottle As i am learning German ,its hard to get into a conversation with a German because they do convert to English and even there bad English is still better than my bad German

Re: driving in Germany Be prepared that most of the rental cars have standard transmissions, not automatic So if you can’t drive a stick, your options might be limited
Comment from : Ruth Hocker

I'm really really shocking about this videobrBecause if you need to said it, directly, in a video Means that American cannot think about thatbrI mean, how can people move in another country and think it's like at home?brI am also an expat, but come on Have euro in pockets it's normal The Benz more espensive like in usa it's normal, the empty house also, the dimension of the house also, follow the rules Come on guys, we must really see "please follow the rules"?brbrDo you know what look like?br"usa arrogance", in one wordbrWhen a person go out of their country (as I did) MUST think with "EVERYTHING is different"brOf course, I had less difficult because the money and plug in is the same in all EuropebrBut all the rest of stuffs it's pretty normal in another country
Comment from : Mikichan85

While at the Bremen HBh I wanted to get some lunch and went into a deli on site I asked for something off the menu and the woman taking my order smiled and said in good English, not until you say it properly in German, she coached me through the process and we laughed the whole time It was also an excellent meal, way better than you could get in any Canadian railway station This was one of the highlights of the trip, even though it was a short encounter I found the Germans I spoke to to be open and warm people I'm not saying you are wrong as I may have just found the exception, but I remember that fondly so many years later

Not living in Germany, but #7 I disagree with too I really dislike the customer service culture in the US It’s fabricated and puts stress on the workers

Hi Feli Is it easy to buy dirndls and lederhosen in downtown Munich after we arrive? And is it easier to get into the traditional tent on weekends or evenings than the larger tents?

Really nice video You could almost copy/paste German/Germany into Dutch/The Netherlands :-)
Comment from : Marco Hanen

Also about jaywalking: you're allowed to cross next to the light, not directly at the light, at any time you want if I remember correctly Walking over a red light is a legal offence, but crossing a road not at a traffic light is allowed, just your own responsibility This does NOT go for the Autobahn and the Bundesstraße Walking on either of these is a crime except for specific circumstances and also likely suicide
Comment from : Joanne August

About restaurants: A definite NO to seating yourself from a waitress here! ALWAYS wait to be seated You never know what system the restaurant has, what table may be recently reserved - and you're guaranteed much faster service because the personell actually SEES YOU that way How many times have some folks just walked past our restaurant into the EMPTY garden, sat at a table and wondered why we didn't come to them Maybe it's because we don't run out into the empty garden every three minutes to check if it's still empty?brAnd YES to free water Water from bottles is paid for, tap water on the other hand is other hand CAN be free Statistically, that's the case in 50 of German restaurants, the rest takes a (usually small) fee
