The flood of memories are overwhelming. Being from Hungary and now in L.A., I've done the same thing going back to my homeland. Just know that you/we are beyond blessed to have had these rare experiences. Enjoy your time there and be super grateful for every moment with Mutter. It is priceless. Our time on this earth is like a mist. Here today, gone tomorrow. Much love to you both. 🙏👍🤩🙆‍♀️🇩🇪 🤗😘💚💜

    I'm from America but in high school I lived in Krefeld for a summer in 2008 for the IU Honors Program. It was a German language immersion program that they used to do every year. I don't think they do it in Krefeld anymore, but rather Linz and Graz in Austria. It's such a coincidence to see your videos and see how the city has changed since I was there as just a lost teenager. Most days after class my friends and I would hang out at the Schwanenmarkt or get a Bratwurst from Bratwurst Paule.
    Thank for sharing your time and bringing back memories!

Some of my favorite memories are the restaurants and the castles. I shopped in Hanau. The markplatz was beautiful at Christmas. I loved everything about Germany. I was there in 1973. I'm an old lady now. I love your videos. They bring back wonderful memories.

What a neat man he was especially to teach you his trade! Mit pommes...FRIES! When I was in Vilseck Germany in the Army I mainly recall doner kababs and schnitzel lol. When I visited Austria in '08 I was in Vienna staying with friends. That's mainly when I remember mit pommes...WITH 🍟 FRIES!! I was with my buddy, his wife and two girls. They rolled their eyes at me because I kept including my new favorite phrase throughout the day lol
    Been to Schoenbrunn there plus the obligatory visit for tourists to Schloss Neuschwanstein...loved it! Good memories. My spelling is probably off on some words but I think you get what I'm saying. I really enjoyed this and all actual Germany videos by GIV plus your usual ones too of course. Thanks for sharing this part of your journey with us. Blessings to you and your sweet mama!! Tschuss...you say it differently than when I was stationed in Germany. The ladies would kinda sing out...Tschuuuuuuss!! Yours sounds like Tschusay...is there a variation of this word? 🤔
    Take care!!!

He was wounded and captured during battle and was nursed back to health by an American nurse who he fell in love with. He never went back to Germany.

    Really enjoying your vlogs, I've never been to Germany so for you to show it from your eyes with your mom is very special. Keep up the great, and interesting vlogs.
    And say Hi to Mom GIV.

      He grew up in a very historic surroundings . I thought I grew up in historic surroundings because it was upstate New York . But his history his way older than the British colonies .

    In my dreams, I see myself as an Ottoman villager who visits German castles in the 13th century. In real life, I wish I were a sympathetic guy and visited my maternal uncle in Hamburg. My minimal disposable income is another reason why I will probably never be able to visit Germany. Thanks to GIV, I had an excellent virtual journey in my mind.

    I loved the longer vlogs. My family's all from 🇩🇪
    GERMANY except me 🇨🇦Canada. I live in 🇺🇸 MICHIGAN 🀄🀄🀄. Mutter ist von BERLIN 1921
    Papa von BRAUNLAUGE HARTZ MOUNTAINS 🎿
    1922. I came when I was 12 und 15. I visited in BRAUNLAUGE a movie theatre. I sat where the room was. It belonged to my dad's friend's. So,
    Mike you and I were two people that sat in the filmroom. Special. I love your uncle's shoemaker
    Store. It brought back so many, many fabulous
    memories for you Mike. I cried too.
    Mike und MUTTER, Mein herzliches Beileid.
    Es Tut Mir Lied. I am praying for you Mike und
    MUTTER. ICH LIEBE DICH 🤟🤟🤟🀄✝️🛐🀄
    Allles LIEBE fur Rich und Dieine Families.
    DANKE und LIEBE. I thank you for bringing me
    with you. I love your family and friends Especially the animals. I went to a castle at 15
    near BRAUNLAUGE HARTZ. The wall had one painting, the whole wall. The horse's looked at you only. Their eyes followed you. Every where you walked. Felt funny and strange. AMAZING
    eyes. I do not remember the name or country area. Just wonderful. I hope MUTTER makes
    Kartoffel und Roulanden und gravy. Potatoes and a rolled up steak very, very thin. Oh it is so cute
    Good. Rolled with pickle, mustard, onion pepper
    pepper and salt. Roll it up and brown the meat
    and summer I'll tender. Gravy with mushrooms,
    onion's and mashed potatoes with butter, salt and pepper. A fantastic German meal. One of many.
    I HOPE you stay a long time in Germany.
    Your mom speaks excellent English.
    ICH wusche ihnen wunderbaren tag. BIS Spater.
    Tschuss. Mike,. I do not KNOW how-to put.. on top
    of letters sorry. CHOW. ❤️ ❤️. U tube changes my spelling of my words. Spell check. Tschuss

    I could feel the pain in your voice when we stopped at your uncles house, mate. Reminded me of my grandfathers workshop. He was a cobbler / shoe repairer and he would show me how to fix shoes on a very similar machine to the one we saw.
