  • Can Germany replicate a 1950s American style diner? To celebrate our oldest daughter's birthday we went to 50's ville Diner in nearby Chemitz to find out.
    About us: At the end of July, after a long time of hoping, dreaming, and planning, we sold or gave away almost everything we owned and left the United States to begin our journey with four children as an expat family. We moved to Leipzig, Germany, a beautiful city in the state of Saxony. This is our story.

    What a wonderful idea for a birthday. Even the clothes you (or at least the girls) were wearing, really fit into the theme.

    • @OnwardMJ

      It was all her idea, and she wanted everyone to get in 50's style clothing - unfortunately not all of us own clothes like that so we did the best we could! 😀

    Fantastic! Happy birthday to your daughter! She was even dressed and made up similarly and in the beginning of the video I wondered if she would wear some sort of petticoat. As for the music, I would have asked the staff if it was possible to turn on 50s music to make this experience even more authentic.

    • @OnwardMJ
      @OnwardMJ  Год назад +1

      Thanks! Yes, she loves 50's style clothing, so she really enjoyed getting dressed up for this. I guess we didn't really think about asking the staff about the music...next time. 👍

      Ah, I love that movie! I almost used a song that sounded similar to the main song at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance in the movie, but it just didn't make the cut this time.

    Happy Birthday to your ever so loved one - Holy Moly, and she did look extremely happy! Thanks to the 9€ ticket, you'll easily be able to return to Chemnitz during the remaining days of August. BTW: I've been watching this video for the 20th time now simply because of the music, GREAT CHOICE! What was this song? Please use it more oftenly, no - make it the theme song of your growing channel (especially the part with the trumpets) - it really goes well with your appreciative, positive content, and creates positive vibes right from the beginning! 🙂 🙂

    • @OnwardMJ
      @OnwardMJ  Год назад +1

      Thanks, and I'm glad you liked the music! It's from epidemic sounds, I'll try to find the artist and song names for you when I get a chance. It was on theme for this video, but maybe I can work it into another video sometime.

    Hi mj! Just a random recommandation:Go visit karl may fest next year in summer. Karl may produced this beautiful film series called „winnetou and old shatterhand“. There is the karl may museum in Radebeul and besides that people meet up once a year to celebrate this story and the history behind the war between indians and cattlemen. Everybody dresses up as cowboys or Indians with these traditional outfits, there is great food, saloons and the scenery is beautyful. It’s very near Dresden so maybe you come visit next year:)
    Have a good one

    Even with Asbestos 😂
    The Brick Building in the background at 3:40 is the Industriemuseum, there you can see the History of the Industry of Saxony from ~1800 to today, they have the four mainparts of the saxon Industry: the Textile industry, Mechanical engineering, Mining and Vehicle construction. If you want to learn more about the social history of your new region, you could visit the SMAC (Sächsisches Museum für Archäologie Chemnitz) too, they show you around 300.000 years of mankinds history and the settlement of the modern saxony. You can visit the Naturkundemuseum too, there you can see ~300 million year old fossils of trees and animals, which were dug up in the area of the City. There is even an very old vulcano or the rest of it very close to Chemnitz, but Rochlitz should have one too, but that was more like a supervulcano.
    But back to the Geburtstagskind: Alles Gute nachträglich, schön, das es Dir gefallen hat in Chemnitz. Wünsche Dir das Beste und deiner Familie auch.

    Couldn't you have had that in Leipzig too, at JaNi's American Diner?
    Although maybe not so 1950s style. Well, the main thing was that it was beautiful.
    Belatedly happy Birthday! 🎈

    • @OnwardMJ
      @OnwardMJ  Год назад +1

      My daughter picked, and I think she looked at JaNi's but liked 50's ville better. And as the birthday girl, what she wanted was what we did! 😁 But I'm thinking about doing a video searching for the best American style burger in Leipzig, so I'll be going to JaNi's at some point. 👍
