"From station to station, back to Dusseldorf City Meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie Trans-Europe Express Trans-Europe Express Trans-Europe Express Trans-Europe Express"
Thank you for sharing your journeys, Kuga! I especially appreciate your gratitude for those little things that Europeans so often take for granted. (And your gentle humor as well, of course.) Thank you again.
The boy is called the Bumpman. He is made by Paloma Varga Weisz, a German artist who lives in Duesseldorf. It's said, that he relaxed and happy dreams about to travel and to foreign countries.
Another classic mr kuga san. Whenever your in the Duesseldorf part of Deutschland, youll never have to worry that you left nihon behind cause when your there and you need that much needed meal just head to that nihongo style restaurant where you were and enjoy that good tasting nihongo style food and youll feel like your in nihon and you'll be happy and never be sad. Blessings mr kuga and blessings to all the people of nihon and Deutschland🤲⛪️✝️🙏📿 🇯🇵🇩🇪
Oh yes. Düsseldorf has the largest Japanese community in Germany (maybe in Europe?). The food is amazing there and you can buy everything you need in the Japanese supermarkets. 👍👍
I was expecting a washroom of horrors, but it's just a typical travel bathroom 🤣 Even if it's not Japanese-tier, at least it's nice and clean haha. Looks like another great trip, and you found Japanese food! 👍
Who is that beautiful winged rose-colored fellow at the beginning of your video, center-screen, seen outside Gare du Nord? He’s shiny like copper, but the color of a sparkling rosé. Man, do I miss Paris. I’m hoping to move there for good within 36 months, should my plans hold. Thanks for this glimpse of the city today!!
Quite a different looking train to your usual rides. That food looked " to die for " treats very simple dishes thst tantalised the tastebuds. Thanks for sharing. Budhyboy Oz.
Great trip. Ah yes, finally you try the Thalys, especially on the longest route, and yeah you try it before merged with Eurostar. Despite the restroom are out of order, but overall others are nice.
The little man on the roof of the Dusseldorf Central Station is an artwork by artist Paloma Varga Weisz. The German title is "Beulenmann" (Bubonic Man). The artist didn't reveal the meaning. The title leads in the direction of the bubonic plague disease. On the other hand, the guy looks too happy for being ill.
Showing my age...I wonder how many people saw 'Cologne Cathedral' and went 'Now there's some dedicated Ranma 1/2 fans!' ;-) Yes, I know it (and the city) are unrelated. But still...
Land! That last meal had my mouth watering...besides my love of Korean fried chicken, everything you had is on my favorite list...although to be honest, I adore EVERyTHING Japanese that is Food!!! :P
I rode Thalys only twice between Cologne and Brussels: outbound in 2nd Class and inbound in 1st Class. Thalys is the worst train service I have ever ridden. Shockingly cramped seats in both classes. The German passengers who sat next to me told me how much they hated Thalys because of the seats. The horrendous 2nd Class seat with lack of legroom forced me to upgrade to 1st Class on the train home. Then, Deutsche Bahn started the Frankfurt-Brussels service with its ICE trainsets.
Hi, thanks for sharing the video! Do you know if there is a passport control before we onboard the train? I want to make sure I a lot some time, but don't want to be too early just in case there is no passport check? Thank you in advance!
Have a question. Why, do nearly every European train trip, seem to have passenger's going backwards? Very few are facing way of travel. I would be ill.
"Oliver"... > "Au revoir" The first thing i see is the fact the exterior of our trains look dirty and used (passed colors, degraded stickers...). Details are always neglected in my country.
I like the Thalys but I prefer the newer Thalys Ruby which are replacing this old Thalys trainset because it is starting to show its age pretty badly. Some say that the new seat are not as comfortable as the old one shown here, but I found them to be plenty comfortable.
Now you notice the difference in standards between Japanese and European rail: seats are dusty and toilets do not function. In comparison, Japanese trains are always looking spotless clean.
I recall working at the, now demolished Ford Motor Company in Cologne and staying at the Hotel Dom very close to the Cathedral, a lovely city, with great people and really good food.
2:06 Oliver? au revoir = さようなら (Sayonara) So you are in Europe now leaving Japan unguarded? Well well well... Let's see then : We have arrived at Edo, we await your orders... Demand surrender... Hai! They have surrenderd to our superior forces! So there you go, Edo is ours now! 🎉🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺
I remember riding the Thalys First Class from Amsterdam to Paris back in 2017 and it was mediocre, nothing compared to the Japanese trains. Also...the food was horrible.
In Deutschland ist dann Schluß mit Schnell 200 km/h werden nicht erreicht. Ist wohl zu schnell für die DB AG. Kann natürlich auch sein, dass man den Vorständen das Geld in den Rachen geschmissen hat anstelle das Netz auszubauen.
Travel thousands of miles to eat food from your own country? Tsk tsk, Germany makes great food!...and I never considered soup a carb even with noodles!

BRO ITS A TRAIN VIDEO NOT A HISTORY LESSON
I noticed you were polite about the train meal, but didn't say anything complimentary. Glad you found some food from home! Thank you as always.
Thanks for letting us tag along on your adventure! The captioning for this upload was excellent; funny and informative! 👍
As always 😊
In french you may say "à bientôt" which means see you soon or "au revoir" to say goodbye

It's 5 :00 am and now I'm so hungry! 😊
Thank you, Kuga san

Thanks, skygaz3r!🤝
ヨーロッパを長く旅してると、デュセルドルフのイマーマン通りはありがたい存在ですよね。
いつも匠さんで坦々麺食べてました😋和食はもちろんうれしいのですが、日本のようにお茶が平日だと普通に出てきて感動したなぁー

The train colors remind me of the Keikyu line in Yokosuka Japan
Showing my age...I wonder how many people saw 'Cologne Cathedral' and went 'Now there's some dedicated Ranma 1/2 fans!' ;-) Yes, I know it (and the city) are unrelated. But still...
"au revoir", mon ami....
When you were in Paris, did you find any (good) restaurant with food like you usually find in Japan?
Land! That last meal had my mouth watering...besides my love of Korean fried chicken, everything you had is on my favorite list...although to be honest, I adore EVERyTHING Japanese that is Food!!! :P
What is the difference between the Thalys and the Deutsche Bahn?
The Thalys is on time (and the coffee is way better). 🤣🤣
Thanks!
Thank you!!!🤝
The 2 cities I've been with the train :P So I had to watch.
I rode Thalys only twice between Cologne and Brussels: outbound in 2nd Class and inbound in 1st Class. Thalys is the worst train service I have ever ridden. Shockingly cramped seats in both classes.

Name of the train is TGV high speed french train Thalys is jus company that runs these trains
Au revoir means goodbye
I'm guessing this was filmed on the summer when you were on vacation.
Yes , in the beginning of the video it says Aug, 2022😊
👏🤩💕

Que rico el bacalao!!!
"Oliver"... > "Au revoir"

Bester man. :)
Au revoir is goodbye in French. 🙂
I liked Oliver better 😂
@@paulthiel5145 😂 me too.
If you had doubts about this washroom, you have never experienced Eastern Europe train`s washroom 😂
I like the Thalys but I prefer the newer Thalys Ruby which are replacing this old Thalys trainset because it is starting to show its age pretty badly. Some say that the new seat are not as comfortable as the old one shown here, but I found them to be plenty comfortable.

Let’s go to Germany to eat Japanese food 😂😂😢
I recall working at the, now demolished Ford Motor Company in Cologne and staying at the Hotel Dom very close to the Cathedral, a lovely city, with great people and really good food.
But their local beer is - with a considerable margin - the worst beer in Germany 🤮!
2:06 Oliver? au revoir = さようなら (Sayonara) So you are in Europe now leaving Japan unguarded? Well well well... Let's see then : We have arrived at Edo, we await your orders... Demand surrender... Hai! They have surrenderd to our superior forces! So there you go, Edo is ours now! 🎉🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺
When I saw your face, I immediatly though you went to Japantag xD But the video is to old for that.
Oliver, XD.
Jocoso
I remember riding the Thalys First Class from Amsterdam to Paris back in 2017 and it was mediocre, nothing compared to the Japanese trains. Also...the food was horrible.
its au revoir in french....
"Not sure why but 2 of 3 washrooms on board were out of order." French train, probably on strike.
In Deutschland ist dann Schluß mit Schnell 200 km/h werden nicht erreicht. Ist wohl zu schnell für die DB AG. Kann natürlich auch sein, dass man den Vorständen das Geld in den Rachen geschmissen hat anstelle das Netz auszubauen.
Au revoir = Good bye
What do you mean 'it's blueeee, but it's better than nothing'? Of course sanitizing liquid is better than plain water
Travel thousands of miles to eat food from your own country? Tsk tsk, Germany makes great food!...and I never considered soup a carb even with noodles!
Bomjour is goodbye in France😊
No...that's Hello. Au revoir is goodbye. And it's Bon Jour.
No sorry, it's au revoir 😉.
@@moogmike1 Bonjour is written as one word 😅 and means good day. Salut is hello...
Surprising old fashion (but useless) salad leafs on the plates... a way to forget the sense of details in european cooking.
Adieu
