Hello mate - I hope you understand that many of us watch this channel not just because we are interested in Germany and all its quirks, but because we like you too and enjoy hearing your thoughts. Some of my favourite videos of yours are ones where are just at home explaining something about Germany that hasn’t passed into English language media. You are talented at explaining nuances and context, and I appreciate that. I’m a 38 year old Australian, on the other side of the world, but you often remind me of myself, especially your championing of public transport. I shall have to live vicariously through you until I can make it back to Europe, hopefully sooner rather than later 😉
You've been looking like you know what you're doing for some time now. I for one love your insights into German life and your trips and also silly videos about the history of Germany. I did donate to the shelter and was very happy to help out a little. Please keep rocking and being the awesome person you are.
I liked the idea of the fixed camera on the green meadow while the year passed so very much. Simple but nice. Also, I think part of the charm of your channel is that there is nothing sensational about it. You go visit places like anyone could do or you sit at your desk talking about news. Simple can be good. My wish for your channel is to keep up the already good job. Improvements will be, of course appreciated, but the existing channel is nice already.
Small correction: As the tagesschau reported on Dec 21, Stendal will recognize the Deutschlandticket at least until end of April 2024. There were 30 votes in favor, four against and nine abstentions in the Kreistag. Looks like it could be longer than April, but on the other hand, there seem to be elections scheduled for June. Fun moment in this video: 2:07 "Unfortunately it has been raining pretty much non-stop since about" [looks at watch] "October." I'm looking forward to your new travel videos, I always enjoyed them. Please carry on the good work.
Hey, we are some people who have a wristwatch (digital in my case, Casio) that tells the date and year - with century! Let me see... a bit less than a quarter past the 20th, isn't it?
I won't be making any major changes, and I'm not going to go all Mr Beast on you. I've been making adjustments and tweaks throughout the last year or two, nothing drastic.
This channel is amazing! I will say that I started digging into German related videos after deciding that I likely want to move to Germany since things in the US are falling apart. You make great stuff and I'm happy to be here ❤️
Let me guess, You Sir, are not a German? No German would ever wish Happy Birthday or a Happy New Year in advance. In the latter case we say Guten Rutsch in's neue Jahr (good slide into the new year) or just *Guten Rutsch*
@@hansmeiser32 You'd be right, I'm not German indeed. I know it's an early wish but given this was probably Andrew's last video of the year I though it was a good time for doing so. As for birthdays yeah, better be on the right day regardless of the circumstances. Thanks for the cultural context, appreciated.
Andrew, After finding your channel, and incredibly soothing voice, it had been hard for me not to watch your videos. I have a suspicion that your demographics would include quite a few cat owners, Germanophiles, and travellers. Possibly all three.. or maybe that’s just me..? Anyhow, thank you for your efforts and talents on this platform. All the best wishes and fortunes this year! Cheers.
Andrew! I have a quirky space for you to stay. My partner and I built a tinyhouseboat in Berlin that we use as a little floating cottage. It’s Anchored near Treptower Park so lots of interesting places to explore near by. Anyway, I’m happy to let you use the space for 2-4 days. I think my messages keep getting flagged as spam… but I’m serious 😅.
2:52 I probably was a part of that wave, as I already had seen a few of your YT Shorts quite a while ago but the algorithm fed me a lot more of them recently and I started watching some of your longer videos as well.
Please release "Doktor Wer", because firstly, now you have triggered my curiosity and secondly, it would be sad to discard everything and all the work that you have already done for this project.
The Landkreis Standal has indeed reversed its decision and will accept the Deutschlandticket at least until the end of April 2024. There is obviously still a lot of haggling going on in the background.
Andrew, I loved the additional in-video of what can only be assumed is a small paddock beside your home. At first I thought it was neglected but when the cows turned up, well that was a surprise. Quick question - are they yours??? As an Aussie who grew up in country Victoria, I could smell the wonderful country aromas but I hope for you, it was minus the flies. I enjoy your content so keep up the good work. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
The cows belong to a local farmer. In this area, a lot of farmers have rights to allow livestock to graze on small parcels of land scattered about, and they move their livestock around these plots every few weeks.
@@rewboss Andrew, thanks for clearing that up. It’s not every day one sees cattle grazing in a residential area. Thanks again for your channel, I’ve enjoyed the content on living in Germany. I’ve been studying German language for three years (progressing slowly) and visited Germany back in 2019. Even with some little background, I found there is a cultural difference with many Germans I encountered on that trip. Again, keep up the good work and thanks. Grüße aus Australien. Tschüss.
@@peterfromgw4615 hehe well.... just keep in mind that - in case Germany had as much space as you have in Down Under - no cattle would ever be grazing in a residential area. But as highly and densely populated as Germany is we sometimes do not really have a chance to "outsource" the farming stuff entirely! When living on the country side you will always see a lot of cattle of any kind and crops of any kind right next to some houses :) (edited because of some typos)
@@Herzschreiber"When living on the country side you will always see a lot of cattle of any kind and crops of any kind right next to some houses" I'm not living in the country side but in a city, Bochum in the Ruhrgebiet, and I once got stuck with my car in a flock of sheep on the road. I couldn't believe it but it was actually a lovely experience. But the first thing I did afterwards was to visit a car wash.
Clive, I don't know if you're a conspiracy theorist or something, but I've met the guy and he's a harmless nutcase. He couldn't conspire to save his life. Berlin, Germany, 1989, the day the Wall came down, he barged into me, apologised, grinned and said, "Oh, it's you again. Fancy bumping into you like this." The he was off again, and I lost him in the crowd. I saw him again in Wolverhampton in 1991: same hair, same ears, same jacket. So I said Hello, and fancy meeting you again, and of course he didn't recognise me. I told him we met in Berlin in 1989, but it didn't ring any bells with him. Well, it had been a couple of years.
Highs and Lows of 2023? Well, the Year started with Low Magdalene, followed by High Altburg, Low Axel, followed by Low Constantin followed by Low Delf ... and is going to end with Low Costa :P 2024 will start with Low Dietmar and then maybe followed by High Arbo. Edit: Nice Idea to put short Videos of your Homevillage´s appearance throughout the year. I hope one Day i´ll move again into such a small green and calm heaven. I grew up in a Village with 900 inhabitants but moved to Mainz for an Apprenticeship.
If you want to do something good in 2024, you could perhaps explain the difference between "Radentscheid" and "Reichsbürger" to Jason Slaughter from notjustbikes. I mentioned the one to him in a live chat, and he referred to you, confusing it with the other.😂 Guten Rutsch!
@@rewboss It was actually almost at the end of the live stream, and he was visibly getting tired. It just surprised me that a) he hadn't heard about the Radentscheid movement here in G, and b) that he knew you and instantly took you as a reference. 👍😁
Somehow, 2023 was worse than 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 2024 is starting with an...ominous atmosphere with the things that are happening...looking like it might carry the streak
Well, the Deutschland-Ticket is completely unhelpful if you mostly in home-office and just very spontaneously in office that where you're already loosing very much time when using an ICE (where it usually isn't valid) and at home usually using a bike or if you have to transport much a car. And more than one week ago, there was an update concerning Stendal... Guten Rutsch!
Hey can you reply. I’m looking for jobs in Germany. I can’t find any. I really want to find a job there and live there for a long time. Can you please tell me how I can get sponsored by the government and move there?
aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben so get to work on Dr. Wer? again the technical term in German is Erbsenzähler so Dr. Wer? should make shure that the self styled bean - counters realize their error. This will easily get you over the first 30 mins of the video the EU Hülsenfruchtzuordnungsverordnungsverfahrensanweisungssammlung provides helpfull details guten Rutsch

Highs: Finding this channel
same
Welcome to the club!
@moosewatcher1238 so true 😫
Same!
I want to see the Doktor Wer Video, regardless if there is an anniversary or not. The Doctor rules.
Very absolutely do I want to see it, too!
I hope it will be as "not-funny" as Asterix' hunt for Permit A38. 😂😂😂

I like how the lawn slowly reclaims that Brown Spot over the year.
Guten Rutsch!
Doktor Ver! I want to see it!
Very absolutely do I want to see it, too!

If we say pretty please would you make "doktor wer" happen, regardless if it is late? I would love to see your germanised parody version.

@@lhpl Very likely. Didn't think of wristwatches as I haven't had one in decades. I don't like things on my arm, and after all, I have a cellphone.
I really want to see Doctor Wer! Guten Beschluß!
Very absolutely do I want to see it, too!
Alternative pitch: Doctor Rew, which is like a crossover of Doctor Who and Doktor Wer
Maybe a kind of a Bizarro version? Hold on, I need to phone the BBC...
@rewboss what about a cooperation between ARD and the BBC for this one like the one for the PnP adaptation in 1995 between the BBB and A&E)?
Deutschland ticket is *_"Hero of 2023"_*
wait a second, I just realized how big the channel has grown... damn. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Guten Rutsch und ein gesundes neues Jahr!
Frohes Neu Jahr!
Well, thank you very much, that's very generous of you. I trust you're not _too_ poor to afford this?
@@rewboss I’m fine enough
Please know that, while I support you taking this channel where you want it to go, I perfectly enjoy it as is.
I won't be making any major changes, and I'm not going to go all Mr Beast on you. I've been making adjustments and tweaks throughout the last year or two, nothing drastic.
Have a good Slip.
I hope you consider making that Doctor who video anyway. It sounds really good!
Thank you for your Videos. As a fellow ex-pat they mean a lot to me. And Guten Rutsch!
This channel has been great to find since I'm slowly learning German, so it's always nice when you upload! Thank you for being here.
Ä guete rutsch!
auch aus der Schweiz!
This channel is amazing! I will say that I started digging into German related videos after deciding that I likely want to move to Germany since things in the US are falling apart. You make great stuff and I'm happy to be here ❤️
Congrats to the 100.000 (+33.000) substitute Andrew! Really like your videos!
Here's a suggestion for a possible video: Visit all geographical midpoints of all 16 states
Bla bla bla! Ein gesundes, inspirierendes neues Jahr. 👍🏾😎
Happy New Year Andrew! Wishing you a great 2024 both in personal terms and for this channel as well.

Happy new year, Andrew! Glad to have found your channel.
Nooo, Lilly.... 🥺💔
Yes, it was sad, and we still mis her. But check my Community tab --> www.youtube.com/@rewboss/community for news on Lilli's successor.
I can't wait, Andrew. Thanks to time zones, and being in Australia, I'll get to see your travel videos sooner. 🙂
Happy new year Andrew, here's to a hopefully good one
Guten Rutsch to you as well! See you next year
Hey Rewboss,
Long time fan. Glad you grew a lot this year. &RIP Lilly.
What’s going on with the farmers?
And Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
Please release "Doktor Wer", because firstly, now you have triggered my curiosity and secondly, it would be sad to discard everything and all the work that you have already done for this project.
Very absolutely do I want to see it, too!
Happy New Year! Hope it is a good one for you and your family!
Guten Rutsch, und ich würde Doktor Wer trotzdem gerne noch sehen.
Very absolutely do I want to see it, too!
Herzlichen Dank!

@@rewboss Selbstverständlich. Ich will dich mit der deutschen Korruption infizieren.
@@rewboss Bestechungsmittel: Viralität. ;-)
Hahaha, the "Dixie Tardis" has made me laughing so hard! Great idea!
Ja, einen guten Rutsch, aber nicht ausrutschen ! Grüße aus Kapstadt.
Stendal wanted to opt out of the Deutschlandticket but as far as I know they have since reversed their decision.
Exactly! That's what "tagesschau.de" reported ("Ticket weiter bundesweit gültig
Stendal rudert bei Deutschlandticket zurück
Stand: 21.12.2023 10 : 19 Uhr") ;-)
The Landkreis Standal has indeed reversed its decision and will accept the Deutschlandticket at least until the end of April 2024.
There is obviously still a lot of haggling going on in the background.
Nearly time for "Dinner for One".
I found that there is a version in the Colognian dialect, but I'll stick to English for now!
The Deutschlandticket is still valid in Stendal, at least until April 😊
Please release the Doktor Wer video nonetheless :)
