Do any of these "American Things" make you jealous? Let us know your thoughts! 😋
Please Note: This video is meant to be lighthearted and humorous. These are opinions based statements not facts and we think it is important to emphasize this. We want this to be a platform where we can share our opinions, thoughts and differences in a positive way. Differences are NOT a negative thing. It makes things interesting. We honestly think the world would be a very boring place if we were all the same. Thanks for watching!!
I stopped watching after the third subscribe .
When I traveled to the USA the first time (West Coast in the summer of 2000) I thought I would find many incredible products you cannot get in Europe. Okay, there were some differences (Gatorade drinks in gallons and in many different colors for example, bigger packages of products in the USA) but all in all the supermarkets in Europe/USA offer nearly the same. I do not understand why should supermarkets open 24 hours? Never in my life I had the need to buy noodles or bananas at
3 o'clock in the night... In Hamburg Penny Markt/Rewe, Edeka, Lidl and Aldi open from 7.30 am until 9 pm, I think that is more than enough.
@@janpracht6662 Yes people should sleep at night i always think of the millions in the USA who have to work at night and then you wonder why they sell billions on Sleep pills, upper, downer, vitamin A and a huge supplementary nutrition industry That cant be healthy and i think all those minimum wages night shifts are a waste of lifetime. Just because you are too stupid to do your job before midnight.
Innovativeness, impressiveness and trying to do everything the best way possible, as perfect as it gets
Did you watch the series “Dark” on Netflix? Excellent, probably the best TV series I’ve ever seen.
I took my parents on a month long trip through Europe and it was eye opening, my dad was in a wheelchair and it was super difficult. Not only was accessibility an issue but people got uncomfortable and seemed amazed that we would not leave my dad behind. Made me super appreciative for our ADA laws!
Wtf countries did you go to...? Disabled accessibility is everywhere in Europe except for a few specific areas of very unpleasant countries.
@@raven4442 Spain, Portugal, and Italy they have super old infrastructure so to get a ramp or elevator would destroy some historic stuff. London was amazing with access but even France was a struggle to get cabs or to get the buses to want to put down a ramp, it was manual and took up time and required effort they would tell us to get the next one, we just started doing the ramps ourselves and getting yelled at because they had to wait
The geographic diversity of America is definitely one of its best features
Germany (Europe in general) is a much older country, hence many old buildings that are difficult to make accessible, and correspondingly smaller distances between the buildings where there is no room for handicap ramps.
Yes, I don't know if they're comparing things of equal age. The US has much fewer cobblestone streets because they were built later, many formerly cobblestoned streets were paved over in the early 20th century for fast cars, and the preference for wide streets which made it easier to retrofit sidewalks.
Houses in the us are also usually not as sturdily built as old German buildings so probably easier to tear them down and rebuild them to be more accessible.
@@Kloetenhenne Even in the US buildings built after the 1930s or 1970s are less sturdy than those built before. I give two years because there are two different phenomena. After WWII a lot of housing was hastily built, and identical tract houses and cheap garden apartments became common. In the 1980s Wall Street started financing much of the housing and commercial buildings. Before that it was individual owners who intended to keep the building for a hundred years and pass it to their descendants.Or at least it was local tract developers who had a long-term commitment to the community. When Wall Street moved in, it wanted a 20-year return on its investment and didn't care what happened to the building afterward because the investors would be gone and investing in another building. So buildings were made for a 20-year lifespan, especially commercial buildings like big-box stores. Because it was assumed that after 20 or 30 years fashions would dhange and people would want a different building instead, and that would provide another opportunity for investor profits.
@@sluggo206 The law doesn't care about the age of the building.
@@robertdendooven7258 If you're referring to handicap access, the (US) law grandfathers old buildings (leaves them as is), but if you make substantial renovations or changes, then you have to make it comply with current rules. That may apply more to wiring, shape of the building, etc, than to handicap access (adding elevators, widening doors and hallways).
"German sports are the wurst" bahahahahahahahaha
😂👌
It’s kind of frustrating when ppl say, “Oh yes I have been to two states and this is why such and such makes America horrible.” Ok.., you’ve been to New York. New York has has very little in common with Louisiana. Which is extremely different from Colorado. Which is vastly different from New Mexico. I guess I just try to be a polite and respectful traveler, but some ppl in these comments are way too quick to judge America and Americans because of one experience they had at a tourist trap on one trip. I’ve never gone to another country and then just complained about all the things that I DIDN’T like.
I'd love to see the same video the other way around 😍
How can americans be jelous when they literally know nothing about the world?
It wouldn't be a video of 20 minutes - instead it would be a 20 day long video! 😉
As an American, its hard to say we are "jealous" of much. I don't mean that in a bad way, we're just very huge and have access to most everything here, both foreign and domestic. We definitely appreciate European cultures and history because it's much older than our history. We are certainly jealous of universal healthcare systems of other countries. lol
@@Brandonrocker18 really? Well i think there's a lot to be jealous about european countries. For ex the education is way cheaper. The education in germany is totally free while in the USA it's superr expensive. And i'm pretty sure most european countries also have access to pretty much evtg but they still found some silly things to add as "jealous". Im pretty sure u can find stuff the other way around too
@@binimszueriidschuel *lol* You're right, but if they knew, they'd be jealous of the 1. Autobahn, 2. Old Stuff (castles), 3. Brot, and 4. Not having to ever smile again, ever, no need.
I lived in Spain for 5 years, more precisely in Catalonia, and found that everything there was more handycap friendly than in Germany. It is even required by law. Even old buildings from Roman times were equipped with elevators. Here in Germany it is more difficult, because according to building regulations there must even be a step or a drain at the entrance. One step is cheaper, so most buildings have one step. In Germany, an elevator is only required to be installed from 4 floors upwards, which is why only 4 floors are usually built to save costs. 😖
@Hanííbą́ą́z the writer is German. Not a "rich American".
Netflix - with a VPN you can get it with the language/selection you want.
yep not jealous at all. Just turn on VPN and you're in the USA :)
I am blind and from Germany, and I can say, that Germany is not really that accessible when it comes to traffic lights that make a noise, to let blind people know when it’s red and when it’s green. Germany also doesn’t have the variety of movies, which are narrated for blind people, where someone tells what’s going on, it’s also known as audio description.
Who wrote this text?
@@FluffySylveonBoi what?
@@fluffymaster23 as a disabled American who cannot drive, I can confirm that the United States is inaccessible to those cannot drive.
Couldn’t agree more on the sports thing! In Brazil we only talk about soccer and it’s so boring. In the US they have so much variety 😭
I had my first Southern barbecue last year in a Shanghai Christmas Market (which hosted chefs from different countries), I was like : "Oh My God, why do y'all keep this a secret ?" Boy, I miss the days when people can travel freely.
Xin Li, if you ever come to America, please come to Oklahoma or Texas and try the barbecue here! 😋 So delicious! Texas, alone, has five regional varieties of barbecue!
@@hallieharker4384 I would love that !
@@xinli9824 We would welcome you!
In our flat in Germany the light switch of the bathroom is also outside the room and it's horrible if you got brothers/sisters!😅
This video helped me understand my crazy husband a bit more. He was raised in Germany, first time my family took him for Mexican food and he put ranch dressing on his enchiladas. He had never had them before and didn't know what he was doing 🤣
Please make a „German things Americans are jealous of“ 😍😊
We did a video the other way around about "GERMAN & EUROPEAN Things That Make Americans Jealous! 🤗💜
" -> ruclips.net/video/dn6A4czK5Gg/видео.html
Protip from a former pregnant woman: Free toilets are often in the Rathaus or in the bürgerbüro. And often older gas stations have free toilets, you just have to ask for the key.
And some said you could just enter a random expensive hotel nearby, and go straight to the restrooms, no-one will ever ask you, if you are in the role of a guest.
I always go into the bigger shopping centres they offer several for free.. or ask nicely in a restaurant. Never had a problem
Being able to use CLEAN bathrooms comes with a price, someone has to clean them. In the US 95% of bathrooms are either dirty or out of order. No reason to be jealous
"You know they're not real?!!" That cracked me up so hard
Kwaliteit voor kwantiteit dus
fr tho
I am Asian I rather be jealous with Europeans in all aspects rather than to Americans....just my opinion..
Not just yours!
Aawww ... I believe a lot of people aint jealous of american stuff.
Hmm
So comparing both videos, basically Americans are jealous of Europeans having easier access to basic necessities for living while Europeans are jealous of Americans having easier access to things that distract you from your life. I guess that's about accurate!
I’m jealous of your adorable relationship. 😊
Definitely the many public restrooms. Once you've experienced some kind of urge and looking desperately for a restroom (paid for or not) you get the idea. Not to have to pay (out of the right coin and you're busted) is another nicety. Variety at hardware and clothing stores is better. As a tourist the longer opening times are also very convenient. And the standardization of many things where in Europe every country has its own procedures. The wider and straighter streets with the designated turning lanes and traffic lights make driving in the US easier. That does not apply to older cities where that is not the case (e.g. Boston). I don't care about custom cars. But I like the gung-ho approach to DIY many things. Even though the outcome is not always safe. Duct tape to the rescue!
I had to laugh while describing the German toilets. When I was stationed in Ger. In 1972 , we used to call the toilets that had the drainage pipe in the front part of the fixture “ the stool sampler” ! 😊
Oh my god the corn thing. You ABSOLUTELY do not wish you had so much corn stuff. The reason we're all so fat is because they put corn syrup in EVERYTHING. You're lucky that corn isn't native to Europe.
Germany is not handicap friendly. For example the train station in my hometown is only accessible in one direction. So if you want to go to the other direction you have to ride 15 min in the wrong direction to then wait 45 min to take the next train in the right direction. It's annoying, expensive and time wrecking. There are hundrets of examples. Even in Cologne one of the most used tram stations is only accessible via stairs..
The bathroom light switch is outside, so you can annoy your siblings...sitting on the throne 😂🤣😂
TRUEEEEE 😍😈
Me, an only child
Sad noises
@@Ravens_Mary 🥲😰
My hubby was jealous bc in the states he didn't had Rick and Morty
@@Reblias People don't have Rick and Morty in the USA?
All the corn stuff is actually so so unhealthy and we're fighting very hard to not get these "everything can be made out if corn" things
Bathroom switches outside was because of safety reasons.
No RCD (FI) and moisture made it dangerous a couple of decades ago.
Wer möchte das Geschäfte (in aller Regel haben auch nur Walmart Winnie Dixie usw Nachts auf) Nachts auf haben, sollte einfach mal ein paar Jahre für Mindestlohn da Nachts arbeiten. Und da im Einzelhandel meistens Frauen arbeiten , klasse Idee. Gut das es noch.. Gewerkschaften gibt, die das noch verhindern. Bevor der Shitstorm losgeht, ich habe 34 Jahre in Kontischicht gearbeitet.
Playing Devils Advocate:
Many Americans would say Germany doesn't have "Freedom of Speech" because in Germany you can get in trouble with the government for saying things that are supportive of the regime between 1933 and 1945. In the US you can say anything short of a call to action and the government can't come after you.
Many Americans always talk shit about their own freedoms. They are wrong for the most part. America doesn't even rank top 10 for freedom of expression (Germany ranks 9th), and last year America was added to a watchlist for journalistic repression along with a bunch of other 3rd world nations.
You are welcome for the correction. Please read more.
@@Welcome2TheInternet Didn't correct anything and I never talked shit. Idk what you read.
Sounds like someone doesn't know what freedom of speech is. It's not freedom from consequences, so you can deny the holocaust happened(I assume that's what you were referring to) but you cannot escape the consequences of saying it. America likes to act like it's this magical land full of sunshine and rainbows and gives itself the unearned title of the land of the free. Which is funny because they have more prisoners per capita than anywhere else on Earth, and are restricted from multiple things like, getting healthcare free at the point of use, getting a decent education etc.
So I’m from a German small town that has mostly been build in 1484 and everything is soo not accessible. I use a wheelchair when I go outside for more than 500meters and I’m limited to the more modern buildings. But the modern building that aren’t protected historical houses, are almost all accessible.
New sub. From southern Denmark, half an hour from the German border.. Just spent 2 months in Mexico, so this is entertaining, funny and educational and all in once 😊
Danke schön, ich finde es sehr gut und auch viel spass😅
Public restrooms here in the US maybe free, but are gross (and the simi-private stalls, ugh). I absolutely loved public toilets all over Germany and Eastern Europe. I would gladly pay 50¢ or even a $1, every time if we had an attendant (usually nice little old ladies in my experience) who kept it clean and the private cabana's vs stalls, omg
I agree about the ones in Europe are clean, but it's really hard when you really have to pee and don't have the coins. Surprisingly, there are some clean public restrooms in the US like the formal rest stops. BUT you are right, there are some downright gross!
U mean u dont enjoy the diarrhea arc on the bathroom wall of the gas station?
I can only associate to it with things I missed when I lived in Germany. Like Ranch dressing, Mt Dew (or any soda outside of coke/pepsi/fanta) 24 hour stores, otc drugs and vitamins, more original content on movies. I'm probably missing a lot here! The things I miss about Germany now... awesome trains and public transportation, and bicycle culture, Old and historical architecture , Gyros!!! (the stacked type). less stigmatized sexual context, Milka chocolate and kinder eggs! Winter/Christmas markets, foot traffic only plazas, allowing pets EVERYWHERE and omg warm Pretzels..
One of the most bizarre peculiarities of Europe is to pay for tap water in restaurants. This should definitely be abolished
I am not quite sure whether I would pay for it if I asked for it. No experience so far but I would give them a fight and have them take the water back.
So you did not travel a lot - in many European countries it's free. When you oder food, any restaurant in France will bring you a pitcher of water automatically.
In Croatia where I am from tipwater is free.
At least you can actually drink it. Also, I'm calling bullshit on this as most of Europe actually has to provide you tap water for free as part of the law.
I always ask myself why anyone would call America the land of the freedom: In germany we´re allowed to drink with 14, buy alkohol with 16, drive as fast as we want, go to university without having to pay. everyone really has the same chances, a good health care,..... and so on. Living quality in europe is so much better. And i don´t want to tell about cultural life and architecture ;) :D
So sehe ich das auch. Lg aus Kroatien
In the Philippines, we also have 24/7 convenience stores, fast food chains and coffee shops and yes I love that ❤
The Philippines is a country we would love to go to! 😍
There hasn't been a store open for 24 hours here in Quezon City since lockdown started.
@@DeanaandPhil you really don't. Things are bad here lately.
Sweet corn is a different variety from the corn used in animal feed, biofuels, and products. Sweet corn is only like 5% of total corn production.Corn is in all processed food and animal feed because the USDA subsidizes it so it's cheap. The subsidies come out of Depression-era price supports for farmers.Cows eat grass so when farmers feed them corn they're prone to getting sick so farmers give them a lot of antibiotics. And high-fructose corn syrup is unhealthy: your body doesn't recognize it as filling so it makes people eat more calories; that and other ultra-processed food is partly why Americans have gotten obese since the 1970s. That's the distortion that occurs with subsidized corn. Some Americans drink Mexican Coca-Cola because it has real sugar instead of HFCS like it used to do here. So enjoy sweet corn but don't be jealous of the other corn: it's unhealthy and not environmentally sustainable.
Hey Deana and Phil, I'm disabled and depending on a ♿. I think the bigger cities like Cologne, Frankfurt or Berlin are a bit more handicap-friendlier, but smaller or rural cities are unfortunately not. I was in UK 5 years ago and I can say that for a European country it was even handicap-friendlier even in the not bigger cities like Bath, Exeter or even Torquay. Other European countries are ok. Paris has also some sidewalks which are not accessible with a wheelchair.... Spain or Prag I don't know. Hope that gives you some answers to your question.
I loved this clip, I hope there's also a clip of the opposite subject "What Americans are jealous of Europe?"
So hilarious Phil about super heroes! "You know they're not real!" 🤣
I give you a challenge: try to inquire European people to check what they think about Americans. You will see that Europeans actually are not jealous at all.
Yeah, we don't have Jell-o.
I think Americans do know they were joking when they use the word "jealous".
@@Nicole-mr8po Si, tipicalmente Americano! 😁
This. There is nothing from murica to make someone from Europe jealous
The great thing about public transit in Europe is being able to actually rely on it when visiting cities like Berlin and Amsterdam and Prague when visiting. Contrast it to the american cities where Transit is not convenient at all.
I'm jealous of In'n'Out Burger. Oh and the lemonade!! I really liked those things when I visited the US. And that you can turn right at a red light when the street is free. It so makes sense.
Say what?!?! You can’t turn on red when the traffic flow allows it? 😳😨
@@brennap3310 No, it's not allowed in Germany. At some traffic lights there are green arrow signs. Then you need stop at the line, look if cars are coming from the other sides, if not then you can turn right even if the traffic light is red. But these green arrow signs are quite rare.
I'm half Brit, half German and I agree with Phil 😂
Dude, you really need to come to Texas for a real BBQ brisket and some delicious BBQ ribs.
I think German music is pretty cool, myself. I listen to German music and news programs to learn the language and, to broaden my horizons. For example, I import CDs from Germany of my current favorites like Wincent Weiss, Andreas Bourani, Mark Forster, Max Geisinger and I do have a particular fondness for Die Draufganger. I also listen to German radio stations online everyday like Radio SAW, Antennae Bayern plus, Deutschland Funk and B5 for news.
maybe Namika or Max Herre would be something you would enjoy too
Love that SC accent. My family left Brooklyn when I was 12. Six months later my parents' best friends (they were in their 70's) came down to visit that summer. They'd never been outside of Brooklyn their whole lives. After 3 days they were saying "Y'all". I thought my mom would die laughing. I've been in Florida for 30 years now, but every time I talk to my friends in Charlotte, my Southern comes back.
Surprised about the littering thing a little bit... people definitely litter in the US but it also depends on the area. I live in CO and if people see you littering here they will confront you! I’ve noticed in Germany though that people will purposely “litter” and leave empty bottles out on the streets because homeless people can collect them and get money.
Thanks for the video, you guys. I am so jealous of the customer service in America. You are able to return your stuff almost at any time with no questions asked. Even when it’s already used. I experienced it myself and I was simply amazed. lol
And I also think that many goods like branded clothes are cheaper in America than in Europe.
There lies a fine line between stout confidence & arrogance. Many of us Americans have bad habit of stepping over that line.
As Americans in Germany we are jealous of Americans in America having access to BBQ anytime they want it! 😂 Miss that! Great video as always guys. Love you being able to give both the American and European perspective in one video 😊
If you have to have Access to BBQ any time
stay in USA!
BBQ is insane here. I feel bad for anyone that doesn't get to experience smoked brisket, pulled pork, etc.
I'm from Berlin and I live in the Washington DC area. DC is so much cleaner than the Germany I know.
Berlin ist simply extremely unclean.
I love the big beds and the hotel room in the US. Moreover, cheap taxis, laundry places everywhere, I do like that. But public transit, education , health care, and social programs are better in Europe.
Convinient stores open 24h, well someone will work there in the middle of the night with shitty salary and the risk for robbery...
Why would I be jealous of someone turning off the light outside when I’m in the room, sitting in the dark?!
Over confidence is definitely a turn off. I think most of the people displaying that are insecure.
Love your videos Deana and Phil - would love to visit Germany at some point... I get to live vicariously through your videos and especially love when you're touring different cities!
I spent a few years in the UK and had to explain (and fight) with people on what constitutes a bbq. I'm from Texas, if it's just burgers and hot dogs it's a cook out. If it's slow cooked slabs of meat (beef, pork) it's a bbq. Not to mention the sides....
Accessible: Refers to a site, facility, work environment, service, or program that is easy to approach, enter, operate, participate in, and/or use safely and with dignity by a person with a disability. Included in that are sloped street corners so that a wheelchair can cross without dealing with a curb.
Switches outside bathrooms is because of safety, because bathrooms can get wet!
The stores are open, but they can buy liquor e.g. only at certain times
In Germany you can buy liquor 24/7.. if it's not a pandemic
The one of thev reason why public transportation isn't as good 8n the US as it is in Europe is because the US Government bowed down to the Automotive industry in the 50s to make sure the interstate highway system was a success. Because of that , many cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, , Dallas, Houston, Detroit, NYC etc that had extensive street car systems saw them dismantled and since the early 1970s , major metro areas have been trying to rectify that. Over the last 30 yrs, speaking from experience as a rider of LA's public transit system, it has improved since the opening of the Metro Blue line light rail in 1990 and continues to improve with every public transportation funding measure that passes.
I’m jealous of the inexpensive beer in Germany! $15 for a 6 pack of Augustiner in the US is borderline criminal! 😂
You can have peanut butter in Europe, but it will cost you, it’s higher than a cat’s back in most of those places because they have to import it. The US grows a ton of peanuts, and our “obsession” with PB is because it is so cheap, yet a great source of protein and calories in lean times. Plus it’s delicious, so we have PB everything.
Not just buying in bulk, but shopping selection and the fact that you can shop 24 hours a day , 7 days a week if you need something right away.
love the subscribe censor 😂😂 phil’s jealousy is coming through!
5:44 i did that to she took my drink it was not all dun and i was like where you going with my drink? and she was like have a refil and i was like i dont wanna pay for one more and she went hahaha its freee and i was like wow and the bill came and we had to tip then i was like ohhhh hoooo i see what you did there!
I guess being to confident borders on being arrogant and nobody likes that , right ?!
this has just made my day
Yes,Bollywood.I discovered it 5 years ago and I love it.It actually made me start watching cinema again(after giving up on it exactly because of the Hollywood) ;)
0:31 Your point #0: *nobody* is jealous about Buzzfeed. Just mentioning.
Loved the series when you were visiting and documenting about different German towns to decide where to move next... Have you decided? When are you really planning on moving?!
German disabled man here: no, Germany is nowhere near as wheelchair accessible as the US, has nowhere near as many subtitles on TV as in the US, has less participation of people with impairments in school, clubs, etc. etc. Did you know: in 2019 there were over 2000 lawsuits over inaccessible websites, compared to none in Europe. One factor is the different legal systems. The continental European one makes it hard for individuals to sue a company and a government agency, but the Anglo-Saxon one in the US makes it easier for individuals to fight for accessibility.
Deana, your bear looks like the hampster from "Hampster and Gretel," a cartoon show here in the States.
I am dutch living in alabamawith my american husband. We dont pay for public toilets in the netherlands most of the time. I find food in lunchrooms cheaper in the netherlands, I also hate only unhealthy lunches are cheap in US and where I am from there is more budget cheap lunch
The thing about American music is the population is so large so it supports a huge variety of bands, so some of them are bound to be good. And the fusion of African and European music that created jazz, swing, rock n roll, and later rap and certain kinds of electronic music (e.g., house). But Germany can be proud of its classical music, techno (e.g., Kraftwerk), industrial, and electrowing.
I'm literally living in Germany because of the band Wolfsheim.
Born and raised in South Carolina... found a place called Chicago Williams BBQ seit, series grillerei in Berlin and it has decent southern BBQ. I highly recommend it!
My parents house in Texas has the bathroom lights in the outside. We always tortured each other with the lights when we were kids lol
In Deutschland, you even see women scrubbing the sidewalk! Very clean. But where I live (Collin County, Texas, north of Dallas) it's very clean everywhere.
I'm jealous about the extensive supplies for handicrafts, esp. for scrapbooking or stamps, inks and so on. The quality is also better. I guess arts and crafts have a higher value in the U.S. than in Germany.
Every time someone from America suggests something to Americans. Everyone from the entire globe insert themselves in the conversation to convince Americans they have it better. I’m not convinced. That brought me to this video.
In the Netherlands may no lightswitsches insite the bathroom because of the steam from the shower
I live in midwest USA and there is tons of littering going on 😂i see people throw trash out of their car windows all the time
"American Things" that make me jealous:
*_Nothing._*
We have also American football, ice hokey and basketball in Germany.
there was not a single thing on that whole list i am jealous of (im German) cause either we can actually get that here or watch stuff like that here or we have simmilar things that are even better in my oppinion .
I've read several comments about corn here in the US we eat sweet corn it's very good tender and sweet we eat it will salt and butter or lime pickled corn, fried corn, cornbread is a southern food so is grits, shrimp and grits is very popular in the south I heard that Europeans only have field corn which is what we feed to live stock it's hard and tasteless
Light switches for bathrooms in South Africa 😳 are also on the outside even in older homes. . 🙂
That was very entertaining!! How many realize you both thought many of these articles are pretty funny . though your surprise about Phil being jealous about the bulk and sports. Barbecue are incredible and want to try those out too.
We are having Metro for the bulk Shopping. :)
While you need an admission for Metro. - But Costco needs a payed membership...
I think Phil is representing Phil not Europeans haha
Lol! Deana all hamming it up!
I don't think I know a single Brit who prefers the "sincerity" of the US to the sarcasm of the UK. In fact I think they find that Americans are not as smart because they can't understand sarcasm.
I don’t think it’s a matter of not understanding it as much as it is a different way of expressing sarcasm.
If you haven't been yet, Selgros seems to be the "Costco" in Germany. Lots of protein options in bulk. Not so much of bulk option for produce though.
Definitely love British music and musicians!
I strongly agree with the non dubbed movies. I lived a couple of years in Norway and now in Australia. The movies are much better without dubbing.
I’m not care about the sports at all. They are all boring!
Costco for the big win! Our Euro friends would come over to the US, buy suitcases and fill them up at Costco to take back home. You guys are cute and funny together.
Americans are definitely friendlier than Germans :) however I personally thought it’s not 100% genuine, and Germans not so friendly vibe is 100% genuine 😃team Germany here ✌️
Such as " Minnesota Nice " ?
@@stephensmith8756 Is that the same as Seattle Freeze?
That's why on my list of things Americans are jealous of, I included "no need to smile ever again, for any reason."
I guess I never thought of it as “sincerity” as it was just a polite acknowledgment of someone’s existence in passing.
But when we had free refill in germany, I wouldn't fit through any door, after maybe two month...
It is not even comparable imho. Germany has lower prices for food and most Restaurants make their money over the Drinks.
The bathroom thing doesn't bother us in the US. Most people have been raised to mind their business and wouldn't even think about peeping into a bathroom stall.
