ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I was there this year on opening weekend, and again on closing weekend, my second year at the Wiesn. It's always great fun. I've already made plans to go next year - hopefully the weather will be better!
I have always wanted to go!
Were any of those bands the real artists?
@@wizardmix No they're just covering the songs
Selten so einen gut angezogenen Amerikaner auf der Wies'n gesehen 😉 Well done Feli 👍
True, she is perfect
Haha. My mom (German) took me to Germany recently after so many years and as soon as we landed she said “oh no, we are dressed like Americans”. Hahaha. 😂😂😂😂.
Könnte Ben den Hinweis verstehen? Wenn man darüber nachdenkt, ist es nur eine normale deutsche Hochzeit ... Ludwig und Therese ... die immer noch gefeiert wird.
The last segment with a drunk Feli singing her heart out was a side of Feli we haven't seen before. rock on
True, I have really loved it
She doesn't seem drunk, just happy.
Yeah…she is only another cheap wh….
Beautiful Feli! 🤩🤩🤩
@@funda-mental6808. German drunk. Glassy eyes and smile whilst keeping composure.
That's the most immersive piece I've ever seen on Oktoberfest in München. It gave me more feel for it than anything I've seen before. Good narration, interview, and editing.
This just made our day 🥺
@@FelifromGermany Du hast meinen Tag gerettet! Meine Mama (ich, 24, wohne noch daheim) hatte mir verboten zu gehen, wegen Corona... Habt ihr euch danach krank gefühlt? Jedenfalls DANKE! Mit deinem Video hat's sich angefühlt, als wär ich da gewesen!
You saved my day! My mom (I, 24, still live at home) had forbidden me to go because of Corona... Did you feel sick afterwards? Anyway THANK YOU! Your video made it feel like I was there!
@@MadMusicNerd Ich war insgesamt 4x da dieses Jahr, beim ersten Mal nur ein schneller Rundgang zum Lagechecken, und habe mir beim ersten Zeltbesuch offensichtlich eine klassische Wies'n-Grippe (kein Covid) eingefangen. Die ganze Welt bringt halt ihre eigenen Virenstämme mit, die du noch nicht gewöhnt bist.
Nach 'ner knappen Woche ging's mir soweit wieder gut, habe dann beim dritten Besuch meine Freundin angesteckt. Die hat's dann auch sehr zusammengehauen, und wir haben es am letzten (Mon)Tag noch mal versucht, aber sie musste sehr schnell aufgeben.
Die Erkältung hat sie bis vor ein paar Tagen mit sich herumgeschleppt, erst jetzt geht es langsam wieder. War wirklich ekelhaft. Auch bei mir war das ungewöhnlich lang, Erkältung is normalerweise 1 Tag kratzt es im Gaumen - 1, max 2 Tage Husten und Niesen - und gut ist, aber diesmal ging das nicht so richtig weg, zog sich.
Für Wies'n-Verhältnisse war es eine Wüste dieses Jahr. Wenn man jederzeit draussen oder drinnen einen Platz bekommt, dann ist das nicht normal. Gerade mal der letzte Tag war normal voll - und auch da hast du noch einen Platz bekommen. Sonst waren ja spätestens um 4 die Zelte dicht, dieses Mal bist du einfach durchgegangen.
french canadian here. I went in 2007, travelling alone, and actually got there on the final sunday because of itinerary changes. I did go and take a peek inside one of the tents, but i really wanted to sample some beer and mingling, so i ended up in a "merry-go-round" bar outside (I think it was the Fransischaner bier one). I was trying my best to communicate in german (with my half-dozen word vocabulary, lol). A guy next to me, seeing my dismay, gave me some english help and the barmaid, who probably thought i was making fun of her, suddenly understood... The guy was from Denmark and made the trip each year with his friends. He told me he was a member of the "Ten beer club" over in Denmark. I had a fun time, and definitely have to go back soon, AFTER learning some of the songs!! Tschuss!
I spent two years in Germany while I was in the US Air Force, stationed in the Hunsrück region near the Mosel River valley areas. I had the opportunity to go to Oktoberfest on two occasions with several of my friends. Watching this video brought back so many wonderful memories for me. I’m dating myself here lol because I was there from 1988-1990. I found out without a doubt the best beer in the world is in Germany in general, and the O-fest specifically, delicious food (I love German food btw). I am about 50% German, having gotten German blood from both my grandmothers. I hope someday to return to visit and take my wife and my now adult children over there with me. Thanks for sharing this and all the other videos. Both of you seem to be an awesome young couple, and I hope and pray the best for your two as it would appear that you will be spending the rest of your lives together. God bless and take care! Tschüss!
Based on my own visits to Germany, Brits and Germans are like separated siblings! We both love our beer, love gathering with friends in pubs/beer halls with plenty of hearty food plus singing in groups at the top of our voices! I always love hanging out in Germany and look forward to returning soon... Beautiful place, great people, great food and great beer!!
Are you a Nazi also?
@@carlloccisano8849 Your answer is completely retarded.
Everyone has bad times, don't forget that Holocaust denial is a crime in Germany and America itself slaughtered Indians, practiced slavery, had segregation and the Vietnam War with Agent Orange. Don't talk about morality if you're not better. Germany is much more than WW2, don't forget all the philosophers like Kant, Nietzsche and so on or musicians like Beethoven, Handel, Bach and so on or the Oktoberfest, Christmas market or all the companies like SAP, Carl Zeiss, Siemens and so on or the car companies like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW and so on and then the fairy tales that were later stolen or changed by Disney, they originally came from the Brothers Grimm and then the first moon landing was mainly influenced by a German, Werner von Braun.
Ignore this Answer from Carl, thank your for the comment!
Maybe you should visit Hamburg too, it’s has some Hanseatic Flair with English Aspects.
And maybe try „Franzbrötchen“.
@@liqiz1755 Thanks but I didn’t see it. 😊 But as an example, my son and I were in Munich in February. Shared a small restaurant table with a couple of guys who’d been to the Bayern match earlier. 4 hours later the four of us had drunk a lot of beer, discussed and laughed about sport, politics, brexit, work, married life and then joined them (at their invitation) in Kennedys for some late night karaoke. Great days!!
@@carlloccisano8849Yes, we are all Nazis in Germany 😂😂😂
I'm from Munich. Ben was magnificently traditionally dressed. Respect
Ey, dacht ich mir acuh! Maßgschneidat! Da Wohnsinn
I've seen lederhosen before, but never the matching jacket. It was very stylish. Is that traditional or modern?
Ben nailed it on the head. Said it perfectly. There is no amount of reading, video watching, or research you can do that will prepare you for the scale of Oktoberfest. Yiu really do need to experience it to understand.
My grandmother was 100% German and her potato salad was the fucking best😂. All her cooking for real
where in germany your grandma was born?
@@alexanderhei5665
and it must be eaten warm
@@alexanderhei5665 im getting that info to be sure and will edit after, im the worst.
It was always just like vinegar and oils and was usually warm as well. Was the best
My grandmother was raised and born in ulm
As barfuss already asked, where did your grandmother come from? As far as I know there is one big difference between potato salads in Germany or the german speaking countries. With or without mayonnaise. My grandma was born in Silesia, so my favorite potato salad is with mayonnaise, bacon, coocked egg and pickles. But in the southern regions like Bavaria and Austria that is very uncommon.
Der Bayerische Rundfunk berichtet jedes Jahr vom Oktoberfest, aber, Feli: Deine Oktoberfest-Doku ist bei Weitem die beste! Danke dafür und schöne Grüße aus der Oberpfalz.
😭😭😭 Das Kompliment lass ich ausdrucken und einrahmen.
Oktoberfest is also a cultureshock for us northern germans xD
Feli, I went to Deutschland for the first time this year and experienced Oktoberfest fist hand! What a blast!!! Everything you covered is spot on and people are sooo friendly. I never felt out of place. It may help that I am a good part German and look as much, but I will be going back again next year! Keep up the great content. PROST🍻🍻
Big fan of yours but first time giving feedback. Your videos are all great but what makes this one even more valuable is the contrast of your experience and expertise of being a German native and then i believe your boyfriends feedback who kind of represents many of us if we went over there. I have visited and love Munich but never for Oktoberfest. Keep up the great videos
Sorry I'm late :D I was like "nuh, I've seen so many Oktoberfest Videos, they're usually all the same" but now I watched it and i'm stunned! This was the best Oktoberfest Video I've ever seen. Your stories and the narration was so well done, it almost felt like I was there. Top quality!
Just swung by to say the NFL visited Munich today and ALL of the American sports media was completely blown away that MUNICH was singing Country Roads by John Denver in the stands. And thanks to your videos, I know why they were sinning it! 😊
Ah! I’m an old man following Felicity. A pleasure to see you young people exploring life with hard work and joy!
Do you mean Feli? Her name is Felicia :)
@@HeyItsSarah30 I thought Feli is her nickname. An endearing short form of Felicia?
@@barryhaley7430 yes exactly it’s short for Felicia
Such a good time. Thank you. My father was stationed in Germany in the Army and I have a photo of him in the Munich HB and I also have two beer steins. One is ceramic and the other glass. He loved Germany so much. He would talk about it often.
As Feli explained in an other video, the word "Stein" is not German, and nobody knows where Americans got this term from.
It just means "stone" and is sometimes used for the ceramic, as "artificial stone". Never for a glass. Correct term would be "Krug" which means jar. But Glas is OK also.
@@holger_p The original German beer mugs were made of stoneware ceramics--"Steinware"--so that's where Americans got the term from.
@@danielfrei3109 That's what I said, but nobody ever used the term Bierstein in Germany, or did they ?
@@holger_p Americans invented bierstein and Germans invented Handy. Nice!
@@lisamirako1073 Right, and both don't know about it and think it's from an other language.
Ben actually looked more German in his Lederhosen than most of the actual Germans! 😄
Mit den blonden Haaren und dem Seitenscheitel 🤣
Thats such a conservative Statement
@@trickcompany what are you talking about?
I think he means that most people think that Germans wear such clothes, but it's just a traditional dress in the south of Germany that is usually only worn on special occasions. But abroad, this image of Germans is mostly shown on ..... or how we invade other countries or Reddit forums.
blaues auge auch 👀
Literally had tears in my eyes at the end because you look so happy and i was in the same tent on the Last evening and it was just amazing to be back after 2 years 🥹🫶🏻
Some buddies of mine came up from Sicily in 1986. We rode the train up the Italian boot to Milan then bussed through to a small town outside Munich. We stayed for 3 days.We rode a train into Munich every day. Got terribly drunk each night.
Had a side trip to Neuschwanstein.
Magnificent castle.
Was an amazing time!
Wow...ich komme aus München und war schon oft auf der Wiesn aber Euer Video fand ich so schön, die Atmosphäre so toll eingefangen, dass ich gerade restlos begeistert bin und kaum das nächste Oktoberfest abwarten kann. Ihr seid wirklich unglaublich sympathisch.
The half meter bratwurst is one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life
Thanks to you and Ben for letting me live vicariously through the two of you. The last time I was at the Oktober Fest was 1980. Ich habe damals in Berlin gelebt. Jetzt lebe ich in Tucson,. Arizona und euer Reisebericht hat mich dazu animiert, im Nächstem Jahr, das Oktoberfest mit meiner Freundin zu besuchen. Sie ist Amerikanerin und war noch nie da!
So much of Europe is so fun to explore. Personally love italy the most but each culture is so diff and unique and I love all the history
I am very pleased that Ben liked it so much and that his expectations were exceeded. But you in a dirndl, especially in the last few minutes of the video, that's the highlight. 😍😘❤
Yay! A 30 minute Feli video to end a rough day! Glad you had fun--I definitely hope to go some day!
I really love her all videos
This was my 2nd time. I brought my 21 yr old son and we had an absolute epic time. Can't wait till next year!
What fun! You make a great couple! I visited Germany and six other countries in 1973 as a teenager touring with a youth orchestra, and have never forgotten how wonderful my experiences in Germany were. Bavaria stole my heart. Part of my family immigrated from there to the American colonies in the early 1730s. I would go again in a heartbeat. Maybe I should put that on my bucket list. All the best!
One of your best, Feli! Really a joy to watch.
I love everything about this video: the food, beer, music, rides and everyone filled with the party vibes. I'm certain you guys had an amazing time at Oktoberfest. Thanks for capturing some of the most exciting things to see and do there, thanks for sharing some of the happiest moments of people having fun. Keep up the great work guys 😍💯
You guys would be so fun to hang out with! Smile every time you post! Thanks
I absolutely love the Octoberfest short you did. I can't stop playing it.
It was fun to see Oktoberfest through Ben's eyes. It has been quite a while since I was a 10 year old in his shoes. Brought back great memories. I am looking forward to Ben's photography from the whole trip. His picture of the canal in Venice was breathtaking.
Ben ist eine echte Schnitte im Trachtengewand 😁
Thanks for such an informative video! I think bringing Ben in has been a great addition to the channel! Love that he is a fellow Bengals fan too
im going to Oktoberfest next week...This will be my 3rd time and first time back since the 80's! Though ive been before, Oktoberfest is on my Bucket List. Why? It's the most fun ive ever had meeting ppl from all over the world having a great time. Hope to see you there and PROST.
I didn’t know that so many of the songs would be in English. The rest sounds like a typical Thursday night in Wisconsin; just on a larger scale 😂
Auch als Deutscher aus anderen Landesteilen bekommt man bei dem Video einen culture shock. Gegen so ein Bierzelt ist eine Karnevalssitzung im Rheinland richtig seriös.
Wow!! This vid put the biggest smile on my face! Thank you. Really got the feeling! Too happy to even feel jealous.
Feli, Ben watching this video brought back old memories. In the summer of '69 I met my future wife during a summer study tour . We were based in Seefeld Tirol, but made several trips to Munich. The Englische Gärten was amazing, but as 15 year old Americans we were most impressed that we could get ein Bier pro 1 DM (25 cents at the time) . I expect that we would be splitting one between the two of us at today's prices. While we have visited Germany a couple of times since then we never got a chance to see Oktoberfest.
An amazing video for our very troubled times. Thanks for sharing your experience and all that fun.
Boy, Ben, you looked so amazing in your Janker and Lederhosen!
Love to hear Americans say "Lederhosen". It sounds so cute.
Great video. You both gave us a great feel for your time at Oktoberfest.
Ihr seid ein echt sympathisches Pärchen!
Hi, an ex-pat here in Munich. I just wanted to add a tiny detail, regarding kids "am Wiesen". I got my son with me (2,5yr) this year. And there where people in civilian with accreditaions. Who approached us and told us that they are from "Wiese kinder und jugendhilfe" (Oktoberfest kids and youth help - translated literally) and they informed me that kids should not be on Oktoberfest longer then 8 pm. And that we should slowly walk out. Although at the "Oide Wiesen" there where kids running around even around 10 pm. But "Oide Wiesen" is for families so maybe that is the reason.
I lived in a NYC suburb during my childhood. There was an amusement park called "Playland" (used in scenes for the movie "Big"). In one building they had several rides to test your skills of staying upright, including a teufelrad (with an american name which I have forgtten). That was in the 1940's, but I guess things like that have been scrapped by america's increasingly litigious society.
It sounds wonderful sharing and chatting with strangers at the tables.
I've never been to Oktoberfest, but this video really makes me want to! Thanks!
We went on Saturday, 1 October. It had rained most of the day until around 4 pm. The rain came down so much and rolled off my poncho, my boots were full of water! Fortunately my socks are wool and my feet stayed nice and warm. Since we are a little older, we paid the 4 € to get into the "Oide Wiesen" and enjoyed the old activities. I really enjoyed the the shooting gallery. Lots of fun!
Okay, this is a new bucket list thing to do. That looks like such a great time.
Love this! I’ve not been to ocktoberfest yet but I’m an American that moved to cologne and had similar feelings to Ben the first time I went to Karneval
hearing the reactions how things were is so great
True, she is great
Went for the first time this year after watching some of your videos and had a blast. It’s such an experience!
I am moving to Munich from the US next year right as Oktoberfest kicks off. To say I am excited is an understatment
I’m so glad I subbed. And that you had fun and shared it with us.
I agree with Ben about not really being able to understand the scale, vibe, or what happens until you are there in person. I also went to visit my family in Munich and we went to the Oktoberfest. We went on the first Tuesday it was open and the cloudy weather kept a lot of people away, which was great for us because we could see everything, go on the rides and get food with no lines. But by Wed the sun was out and there was absolutely no room in the tents or even on the walkways outside! I loved it! The street food is the best! The quality is so much better than at any festivals or state fairs I've been to in the US. BTW, if you don't want the alcohol, they did offer a very tasty non-alcoholic beer, in the same glass. 🍺😉 Servus!
4:00 The Hofbrauhaus in Las Vegas has a very realistic sky in their Biergarten, I love it.
Very interesting. Always love your videos.
Thanks for posting. Great stuff . I Have always wanted to visit Munich during Oktoberfest . Felis smile is like pure sunshine 🌞
Immer wieder schön zu sehen wie auch andere Kulturen spaß an solchen festen haben. War zwar noch nie aufn oktoberfest aber auf vergleichbaren wie zb. Kiliani in Würzburg oder Berg in Erlangen. Find des richtig stark das du solche Videos machst und anderen Menschen unsere Kultur näherbringst und uns was von anderen erzählst, mach weiter so. Grüße aus Unterfranken
Ohhhh danke :)
One of the best videos from you in a long time - even I as a northern German did learn a lot, like about the devils wheel. Great entertainment! :)
Wow great video! Thanks guys for bringing a taste of Oktoberfest to us people who have never experienced it. I always wonder how Feli feels when she gets on a plane to return to Cincinnati.
Great video and Ben is good guy happy for you both.
A München Girl Ja! No cold weather will keep a warm hearted person from beer and friends. And meeting new friends. 🍻
Danke, Feli! I've never been to Oktoberfest but my husband went a few years before we started dating. I would love to go! I am so thrilled that you and Ben had such a great time, especially after a few years' gap! Thank you for sharing your experiences! Sending lots of love to you and Ben! Love your joint Instagram account, by the way! :)
Please give us more videos like this of you guys doing stuff together. There's only so many US-Germany differences videos we need. lol
I thought I saw a glimpse or two of Josh. I hope you two talk about this in the next UTS! 😀
Looks like you guys had an amazing time. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Cheers
Mega gutes Video. Danke fürs Teilen
This year was my first time going to Oktoberfest. I was there the week of 26 September. It was one of the very best times I have ever had and absolutely intend on going back. It's the largest "keg party" I've ever been to and it was nothing but a great time.
Ben, you can find almost all of those big temporary/portable rides, including the roller coasters, at larger fairs in the USA. Especially larger state fairs, such as Texas or Minnesota State Fair, which are the largest. In Kentucky, you'll probably only find those rides at Kentucky Kingdom (which also provides the rides and games for the Kentucky State Fair, a relatively small state fair). In the eastern half of America, in general the farther north you go, the larger the fairs are.
Thanks to both of you! Cute couple, btw!
Ist echt spannend mal so zu sehen, hab mich irgendwie nie weiter mitm Oktoberfest beschäftigt (hier in Wien gibt's nur nen kleinen Abklatsch). Mir war nicht klar WIE riesig das ist bei euch drüben. Wowi!
Great video Feli! I’m half German and have been to many Octoberfests in America especially New Braunfels where I live! But I went to Germany to visit cousins for the first time in 2016 and it was amazing! I didn’t know about the lines and rain we waited for two hours but finally one of the beer girls let us in because she felt sorry for my 5 year old son in Lederhosen! Anyway it was really fun and want to go again!!
I also experience my first Oktoberfest this year as well while living in Munich. The thing I just realized is that my experience at fair and fest grounds in the US is that there is an entrance fee and all the rides and good is an additional charge. We have been to several dults and now Oktoberfest and there is no charge for entrance. It’s fantastic.
I didn't realize there was so much to do at Oktoberfest! All those places in the beginning of the video makes it look like a huge exhibition!
That's nice that people have to share a table at Oktoberfest. Would make it less awkward for someone if they went to the festival alone and wasn't sure how to approach people.
That's good that they had vegetarian and vegan food. Normally during mosaic I don't bother going to the food part of the German Club, but if there were vegetarian or vegan options for the food, I'd be more likely to check out the food more often.
The small village festivals are the best. Munich is a pocket emptying tourist attraction.
Those are amazing as well! I personally still really like Oktoberfest too.
@@FelifromGermany Well, I have been in Munich on Father's day and that was almost as crowded as Oktoberfest. When I tell people here how they celebrate Father's day in Germany - well it is their day! I'm glad I saw your videos - I'll keep watching!
Wow. That young lady was carrying, what, 17 heavy mugs of beer! How does she do that?
Haven't fully watched this video yet - in the middle of it. I didn't went to oktoberfest but the one in Stuttgart, i was in Germany for work and was using the public transports every day and notice such a difference when the fair opened. On the other days my group (bunch of portuguese people) were the only ones doing noise (not much, we tried to be respectful) in the train, but during the fair, it was so noisy that it shocked me!
I got to see the fun (and some reckless) side of the german people and the fair itself was a good experience - i don't drink beer but it has other drinks in some tends, which was nice for me and the vibe was really nice and surprising.
at the end of your great video, you show all the happiness and singing in the tent, and as you scan your camera, a few are on their phones. SAD they missed the fun and the German Experience. We can't wait to get there in 2024.
I was there the last weekend also, on Saturday! It would have been so cool to run into you both ☺️ Happy Oktoberfest! It was so much fun 🎉
Great video great fun, really captures german experence thanks!
This was fun to watch! BTW, having a couple of drinks before going to an event like the Oktoberfest is called "vorglühen" in Germany. It's originally a technical term. Derives from "preheating" a car engine. Very popular among younger people with a smaller budget.
we have “primers” in western canada! similar
Looks like FUN TIMES!!
Its all about mandeln... SO good.
This video was perfect and 100% accurate. Just did Oktoberfest on Monday September 18 and had a great time! Did all of the major tents and Paulaner was our favorite! Hacker was also great. Great memories to take back to Texas. It is amazing to me that all of those “tents” come down after the fest. They are much more than tents but if you go to Google maps for Oktoberfest Munich, you’ll see a completely empty fairground. Pretty amazing!
Really loved the community aspect. Everyone we talked with were so friendly. So much fun singing along (although I am certainly not a singer) to Country Road and Sweet Caroline! Everyone should go at some point in their life! Prost! 🍻😊
Always great to see pictures of the Bavarian Seppelorgie.
Jaja,der Neid der deutschen😭😭😭😭😭😀😀😀😀zu teuer für dich hartzer,gell.
@@eyalter8992 7 Rechtschreibfehler. Du bist nicht besonders helle, oder?
I'll be going next year! Can't wait
Interesting to hear Ben's thoughts on Oktoberfest. I've been twice (Never in a tent though) but even at our little carnival at my home town we have big rollercoasters 😂
Fun to experience Oktoberfest through the eyes of a stranger.
Glad you all had fun.
By the way, Feli, du bist einfach zuckersüß😊
Grüssles, Nicole
I went back in 2017 with about 20 friends from around the US. We had a blast. I would love to go back some day. A few of us also went to the fest in Stuttgart that week. It was smaller and more personal. We enjoyed it equally.
That was so cool to watch 🥰🥰
I attended Oktoberfest each year from 84-88 great time. Must be so much better now without the smoking...I smoked backed then, it was so full of smoke. Had such a great time, every time... I loved the huge Wienerwald stand with all the wooden chickens in the windows!!!
Prost Feli von einem deutschen Auswanderer , nun in NC. Macht Spass deine Clips anzuschauen.
Viele Grüße
Peter
I've been in Munich 4 times now at Oktoberfest time , but never have gone in. After this video, i guess I'll have to try it out. I stay with old exchange student near Erding. One thing you may have commented on already is how bundled up Germans and Austrians get when the temperature goes below like 20. Living in Pacific Northwest now, shorts and tee shirts are ok until like 10 degrees. Oh and another thing, shoe horns, when you leave the house you get handed a shoe horn, which I have to say I have no idea how to use. I like the videos, I'm Austrian, emigrated to Ohio in 1956 at age 7, so my German vocabulary is like a second graders. these videos evoke good memories.
shoehorn is easy, just stick it in the heel of the shoe, and slide your foot in. It just makes sure your heel actually goes in. it is much thinner than your fingers :) As far as bundling up goes. try wearing shorts and t-shirts when you are outside all day. here in the US nobody is really outside long. house to the car, car to the office, office to the car, car to 5 guys for lunch, car to the office, and so forth. 1 minute tops. i live it every day. even if it is not really that cold here in georgia.
Hi Feli! A fan here from Italy, and I'd really like to know more of your trip you guys did here!
Other than that, a big hug to both of you and hope to cya on the next Oktoberfest! :3
I lived in Munich for 4 years and O'fest was one of the best memories!
Very happy for you 😊
