You are not an expat young lady. To be one you would have to renounce your citizenship according to UN. I hate it when Brits call themselves this to show that they are more worthy. What about just a plain immigrant. Why a postman from UK is an expat and the highly specialized worker from India, Poland or Lithuania just a plain immigrant? . As to being in Germany for a few months you are still like a long term tourist. After 3-4 years you can tell us about Germany, as of now you don’t know much.

Keep making these videos. I want to move to Berlin next year(from UK) so your videos are helpful

I joined an English speaking international book club and never met a nicer bunch of people. Got invited to a Eurovision party for the first time.

When white people go to Nigeria to work they call themselves experts; when Nigerian doctors employed directly by NHS come to the UK they call them immigrants. I told one to be telling people that she is a medical expert in England. Because the reason NHS employed you is because you are good at what you do.

I came across your channel because one of my interests is German language and culture. From what i have learned you have lived in Germany for a number of years. I am intrigued to know why you describe yourself as an 'expat'? Are you intending on returning to the UK in the near future and you live in an English bubble so you feel very little connection with Germany? What is your German language level C1, B2? How often on a daily or weekly basis do you speak and interact in German? Do you intend or have an interest in becoming a German citizen?

Bye

Customer service in the Divided Kingdom is the worst!

I am black living in Weiden Bavaria and i get called the N word, see the nazi salute, gum thrown at me and drug tested by the polizei. So yeah it is crazy how racist germans are.

Excellent

Go back to Africa, you're not British nor European, stop being pur problem for absolutely no reason.

@2:24 You get a reasonable amount of customer service, no annoying waiters or people packing your groceries. 😊

Im an Asian guy (Bangladeshi) and have not enjoyed my experiences visiting continental Europe. Found people to be VERY racist towards South Asians. In UK we Asians hold it down and fighting racists ALOT. But found the Asians in continental Europe to be very passive so the locals feel brave to start talking shit. Side note....you are absolutely beautiful GOD DAMN!!!!!

Sounds like you are comparing London to Germany. Is that the same as comparing the wider UK?

Love your positive optimistic outlook :)

Sounds like you are in denial about your ethnicity on grounds you grew up in a white neighbourhood in the UK. I can see you not belonging anywhere as a 50-year old divorced woman having grown-up mixed race kids who have flown the nest.

I find that people in germany are waaay nicer I disagree

This is because many German are dissatisfied with themselves! And also the envy is a big problem here! I had never see such people in countries like Italy .Spain ,Greece ,Turkey Morocco ! People are very friendly . Not all Germans are bad people but unfortunately many! This one reason wy so many German people leave Germany!

So should we come to Munich when the NFL comes this year? By we I mean black men.

I've never had any desire to go to Germany, mostly because of its history. I believe that hate for other races runs deep.

oh....noch eine Mode-Puppe....

There’s an Afro shop in Trier and what you have to do is keep your eyes peeled for a black hairdresser in a salon. There’s not many but they do exist. I’m a Scot living in Germany so happy to find your channel 😅. My daughter’s best friend is half German and half Dominican Republican so she tells me about her experiences, like being stopped and checked for a valid bus ticket. Her boyfriend lives in a tiny village so basically the whole village stares at her. She’s such a shy person that it’s quite a torture but there’s nothing you can do about it except like you said, try and be self confident. The closest I came to racism as a white Scottish girl was working with East Germans after the wall came down and it was so incredibly hurtful to be hated and treated less than for just existing. They had virtually no contact to foreigners for 50 years so I guess that explains the attitude. Never forgotten it because it’s a particular type of hurt that you can’t explain unless experienced.

i just moved to germany and i’m in the countryside, i’ve only seen one other black person so far. the older people stare so much, it’s crazy! i’ve already had people touching my hair and being fetishised by the guy. i know i’m black and super interesting here but i’m tired of having discussions about race

I'm a Brit and I moved to Germany 8 years when I retired so I could live next door to my only brother. I live in a village in a tourist area near the sea 90 km from Bremen. My standard of living is really good. People are very friendly I'm lucky they know my brother who works for the local council. The only drawback is the lack of German as a 2nd language class availability. It's all integration classes for refugees. The Health service is far better than the NHS. I do miss M&S and Waitrose and Butchers that sell everything.

you are a consumer...every store loves you because you can be manipulated to buy what you do not need and you are easily influenced...on the other hand a non consumer cannot be influenced into spending money because of what others tell them or think about them

Germans Scanning Everytime all around. Then spend a Lill more Time for a View,.. same says Feli and NALF ... It is Not agressiv it interest, Not more. Yes we had racism in Germany but most pepole Risk a Eye....

Aha. Also die Leute starren? Wo nicht ? In welchem Land starren die Leute nicht ????????? Es wird kein Starren stattfinden, sondern wohl eher ein Schauen. Irgendwo müssen die Menschen hinsehen?? Wenn ich in den USA bin schauen die Menschen, wegen meiner nicht perfekten Aussprache.... Aber das ist menschlich ?? Also was soll dieses Video ?

Just to add: There will be a nationwide 49 Euro/month subs to public transport from May, 1st. So public transport becomes even more easier to use and for a really good price. You can even use on the S-Bahn system and DB slow trains thus being able to travel long distance providing you invest a bit more time.

Ich finde das großartig was du machst ich bin aus Österreich und lebe seit 7 Monate in London Uk.. Ich finde es schlimm hier weiß nicht wo anfangen alles ist teuer und gefährlich besonders für Frauen.. Ich werde einfach hier nicht warm mit Uk! Warum ich hier bin wegen meine Freundin

yes, its realy a german thing. We are very reserved, maybe to mutch, sometimes.

we love our bar cash :D we dont trust bank, digital cards and unknown corperations behind it. We are very sceptical ppl. And this with the "Jungfrau" is extremly funny :D

We germans hate it, if some employer form a store want to be "polite and trys to help". This triggers many hate in us :D And with the fashion its difficult here. We are in one hand a individualistic society but on the other very collectivitic. Some similaritys with Japan are given. In top of this we are very "anit-consumerism", we openly hate rich ppl and shame them ^^

Regarding the service attitude - that's most likely due to the fact that Germany (but also France or Italy etc) is a republic, not a kingdom. Because there is a saying in German that "customer is king". And in the staff break rooms in many retail shops you find a notice on the board completing it like this: 'the customer is king - but monarchy has been abolished'. I'm not kidding, that's how you implant mindsets into people.

Sorry, But that Sounds Like two Karens Meeting..

That was a great video. Also a Brit in Germany but been here 25 years so I needed reminding what the differences are. Hopefully you are still here, there’s great things about both countries.

Interesting to hear about your experience with customer service. I am a 32 year old German and have a completely different experience. I wonder why that is. Maybe it is a regional difference (I grew up in Hamburg), maybe it is a difference regarding the approach? I guess if you expect customer service in stores without asking for it, yes then there will be close to none, you have to approach the personel yourself. But if you go uo to the people and ask them, you usually get very good service. I am one of those people who asks fot help without even trying to find the items myself, I just go into the shop and the first thing I do is look for an employee to help me. And even with that kind of demanding attitute I hardly ever had a bad experience in customer service. But yes, you need to actively ask them, they wont just come to you.

How is the German language for you? how are your Children doing? you are positive, that is a big plus.

What about the women? More stunning looking girls in Germany or UK? I visited Dusseldorf...noticeably more stunning girls out on the streets..it was summer.

Friendly? Outgoing and open in UK ? is this a joke? Not in London and Manchester nad Birmingham for sure, maybe in Brighton and Exeter yes. I am from Poland and i find German people much more approachable and easier to make conversation about smth and if you can speak German a lot of them treat you like one of them, this is imposible in England.

Rubbish what part of uk we talking about? Because defo not london Birmingham or Manchester full of gangs and poor areas like Peckham or Croydon . England and this places they are not the same its like Detroit in US..

EXPACT ===>>> IMMIGRANT

😂👍🏻👍🏻

People always stare here. But that seems to be an issue literally everyone mentions who is coming to germany. We don't really think about it because we're feeling safe just going outside. But it's interesting to see how often people complain because they feel attacked in some way. But that's because of learned fear mechanisms people bring with them, from expiriences they made in their lifes and with their societies. Some feel uncomfortable and think it's because they have dark skin, look lgbt+ or something else with what they expirienced discrimination. Some people also feel protective when somebody stares at their kids in the park because (for example the US) teaches them that there might be sex offenders everywhere. But that's not the case. It's just culture. People feel safe, they look around, stare around and see what people are up to. Sometimes you just stare and "dont see" because you're with your own thoughts, thinking of what might have lead them to this point. Often you hear people complain saying: "Yeah but why don't they change that if it makes people uncomfortable?" Imagine if someone told you to change your cultural habits because THEY are uncomfortable with something harmless. A better Step would be forward into realising this safety and becoming a part of it :)

Awesome video ☺️😍❤️❤️❤️

I would like to do my master in IT and settlement regardless of the cost of the university but I'm conufused between Germany or England where do you recommend ?

I was born in London and I have experienced some of the most unfriendly negative and horrible attitudes from some of people and I have experienced some of the most friendly helpful and compassionate people. I personally do not put an attitude upon the country per se but upon the individual I encounter and even then if it is unpleasant I do not dwell on it. All countries have their beauties and their beasts. It’s great to hear the stories but I personally would not use them as a bench mark!

In a nutshell, Germans are boring but Germany is safe :)

you are not an expat you are an immigrant, just as anyone else that moves from one country to another. never understood why english speaking people (americans like to use that word too) refere to people that move to their country as immigrants, but call themself expats when they do the same? 😉

Thomas Müller is right,it was due to covid,in my City Shopping karts were mandatory to ensure some distance.

Only seven years of bad sex.why take the risk.

Hope you make a bunch of more videos!
