Alberta: 661.848 km² for 4,17 Mio. inhabitants, Germany: 357.111 km² for 83 Mio. inhabitants. There are 6 inhabitants per square kilometre in Alberta and 232 in Germany. Mind you that we consider many areas in Germany, particularly in the east, "underinhabited". I guess that explains it.
No. 7: In which city are you living? Döner street food is indeed often to be found, but almost every city offers more than Greek restaurants, Pizza or Döner.
You don't need a fancy car like Porsche to do 200 km/h. I drive a small Peugeot 307 with a 2 liter engine and sometimes I go 200 km/h, too. When I compare Alberta with Germany it is nearly twice the size of Germany, but Germany is 19 times more populated. I would say it is nearly deserted.
Yes and you definitely see it when driving on Alberta highways! It’s not uncommon to be the only car in sight, and you can see much farther than Germany too!
Döner is our fast food. Since I work for a large German company, I can eat my lunch in the canteen. The food is of high quality and relatively cheap. No need for fast food. At the weekend people mostly cook for themselves in this country. Food in Germany is generally cheap and of high quality. It's rare to go to a restaurant for dinner, maybe for a date or a celebration with friends and family, or just for fun or for laziness. Dinner here is called Abendbrot (supper) and bread is usually eaten, as is the case for breakfast. There are only two countries on earth that bake really good bread: Germany and Denmark.
Hahaha, i had so much fun watching you talking about all these things. Today, you look like a female Indiana Jones exploring Germany and his citizens.🤠🤭😉 Getting a driver's license in Germany means that you can really drive everywhere, you get prepared for almost every situation and you learn things about the technic from your car. Canada is the second largest country in the world and together with the US it's almost the whole continent, it's difficult to compare that with the history of Germany and Europe with all the former kingdoms and empire's, it's the old world that so many people left to find a better life somewhere else with a lot more space to grow up. This wide in Canada is so fascinating and not understandable if you are not used to it. Back in 2003-2007 a friend my, she lived a few years in Canada somewhere in the mountains in a smaller town somewhere in the french part and she left Canada when she got pregnant, because it wasn't safe enough, she lived to far away from the next clinic and even with an doctors appointment she had to wait almost an hour to see him. In Germany it was much easier for her and the supply was a lot better. North America we know today was and still is an immigration continent, but tiny little Germany is on second place for immigration after the US. Be happy if you find a Döner restaurant, the variaty of food grows with the size of the city. It's a lot more traditional to prepare your food at home and some villages have traditional inns or taverns with wine and beer and with the french border not so far away the Alsace-Lorraine it can be an opportunity. Come to Berlin and i can show you places and street's where you can get food from almost around the world. I guess after all the time that you are here, there are not so many things that will shock you anymore, sometimes the bigger shock comes on your visit at home. I think you and your husband added eachother quite well. Nice video.
I think that generally it is a good thing that there is a more formal driving education in Germany. I just looked up some interesting numbers Canada has about 9 road death / 100.000 motor vehicles / year while Germany has around 6.5. Given that the roads are smaller and we have the Autobahn with large parts of no tempo limit at all you should expect the numbers to be the other way around.
What if our cars and streets are actually reasonably and average sized and it is just that in North American people drive gas guzzling reverse clown cars? With such comparissons I always feel reminded of Smurfs traveling outside Smurf Village. Upon meeting people they then go "You're not small and blue? How odd!"
Why is Canada "only" bilingual? There are also First Nations and Inuit who primarily do not speak English or French, their languages (plural) are ignored, don't they exist?
You *can* get your license at 17 and do BF17 (Begleitetes Fahren ab 17) where you can drive on normal streets with someone who has a valid license and whom you put down as once of the people who accompany you (they must be over the age of 30, have had their license for at least the past 5 consecutive years and has maximum one "point in Flensburg") but yeah, you can only drive *on your own* at 18
I don't now about Germany, but in France you may rent a flat - a simple flat - or a flat with furniture, and these are two different things. Different prices, different rules for taking and leaving, etc.
Correction, you can drive a car if you are 17. It's just that you need a registered person to be sitting in the car with you and you of course need a driver's license. It is called accompanied driving
This was so interesting to me!! It's cool to see how different the culture is in different countries. I'm from the US and I bet there are so many little differences just between the US and Canada!
Well, Döner _is_ fast food (and so are those other very popular quick lunches that you find at bakeries and at the butcher's, or at the "Nordsee" fish shop).
why woud i want a kitchen included. IF i like the appartment but the kitchen sucks. (not my style or just not the right hight and stuff) why should i have to live with a kitchen i dont like. If i just by a kitchen once and take it with me i have my own kichten all the time. ANd setting it back up is really fun.
Hi, I have nearly 2 meters as height, I couldn,t work in a dwarf´s kitchen for sure. But there is a special market for washing machines or cupboards everybody.
Look we do those intense test because a Car is a weapon. It was lots of KG and goes really fast if you are not prepared well somebody gets hurt. And we have lots of cars on the streets so we need to know the rules of it would be chaos. and death
Haha, i love your Video. My Friend and i want to Change to Canada in the Future. You show me something i don't know, pretty cool. Hope we get some more.
Hi ! Just clicked on this video thinking you were Sharla in Japan with a bit of a diferent look ahah. You seem really nice so I hope you’ll find the same success
In Canada you can give teenies a driving license, nothing happens , because there are living maybe 1 Person on 100 squaremiles. And when they have an accident, they hit only a elk, a bear or any tree`s. 😂 ( Sorry, only fun )
You remind me ,of the time ,when I moved to Canada from Germany. IT was in the beginning a culture shock for me to move to N. B. I lived there for 20years. But I have many good memories,friends and still use my Cake, Cookies ,...... recepies Sorry for the mistakes. When I lived in Canada i missed something from Germany, and now IT IS reversed 🤷mostly old friends and my grandchildren
I don't know ANYONE, who paid 4000 for their drivers license. 2000 is average. :) Exactly... For handling our traffic you got to be super well educated and trained. :)
it count on where you live i think if you can drive before make the licence you can make it for 1500 , but i know people who payed 3000 and more , because they failed often and maybe should never get one :)
@@nemesis8647 Right, I paid around 1500-1600 for my drivers licence. I did mine in 2013. I did all the mandatory lessons that were needed and had a couple of additional driving lessons because I failed the theoretical exam. I think a good estimate today is something between 1500-2000€
Obviously Germans will take the dishwasher, washing machine and kitchen when they leave. After all, they bought them in the first place! Do Americans leave their furniture behind when they move? German flats come without kitchen as Germans oftentimes stay in their flats for life. It is better and cheaper to buy the stuff yourself.
We even have a thorough education in school on the harm that smoking does, with pictures of lungs, all the info about lung cancer in all details.... So it's not that we aren't told and educated. This happened in biology class at the age of 14 I believe. - They still decide to smoke. Even the drastic slogans on cigarette packages won't help. 😔
Well, it *does* help. In 2001, 27.5% of teenagers (age 12-17) were smokers. In 2018, only 6.6% were. In the same time frame, the smoking rate for young adults (18-25) went from 44.5% to 24.8%. One thing holding us back is the fact that cigarette ads are still legal. But the trend is clear - smoking becomes less and less common over time.
Well i know it is ur Opinion , but some points of ur "shocks" sounds like a little bit of hate or it sounds like its generally in germany like that. - first thing driver license cost maybe in ur Town where u live 2k - 4k euro , in my Town it cost 1.2k and up euro , sure compared to canada sounds really expensive but im 31 now and dont have a driver license and not really need it , the public transportion is so good here that i can go everywhere i want - yes everything germany is smaller - cars , roads , villages and city´s close by , bc germany 30 times smaller than canada and has twice as much ppl thats why its more crowed - the kitchen thing is bc if some apartment dont have a kitchen u have set up ur own kitchen and of course we take our kitchen with us , if we move out or sometimes u have the chance to take over the kitchen from the previous owner but if have to pay for it , nothing in live is for free , but many apartments nowadays have EBK ( Einbauküche) but of course those apartments are fast gone maybe u should move to a bigger city bc it sounds like u live in a village and ur not happy there , if i go out the door i move 100m and have 20 or more café´s and parks where u can go to chill out with friends and not only döner shops i dont wanna hate here but its sounded to me like that , i grow up in a little town like 20k ppl and yeah those towns are pretty dead and now i live in Lübeck in the north of germany with 220k ppl and happy with it there always something going on the city
You certainly live in a small village in Germany, everything you say is typical for small-town life here. It has not much to do with the urban life here. The wooden door alone is typical for country life. I wouldn't want to live in rural ares too, neither in Canada nor in Germany
Yes and I really appreciate that! So many North Americans drive vehicles much bigger than necessary and businesses will also have big company trucks because it looks more impressive.
You are obsessed with cars and autobahn and driving. As a christian, save the planet and walk, bike or ride the train. And people take the lamps, cabinets and dishwashers with them because they bought them and paid for them. But you can rent 'moebliert' if you like. Oh, fast food is bad for you, so try cooking sometimes. As you are so easily shocked maybe you shouldn't travel?
Hat most non-Germans get wrong about the Autobahn is what the Autobahn actually is: It's just our highway network and not that "special" road.
Alberta: 661.848 km² for 4,17 Mio. inhabitants, Germany: 357.111 km² for 83 Mio. inhabitants. There are 6 inhabitants per square kilometre in Alberta and 232 in Germany. Mind you that we consider many areas in Germany, particularly in the east, "underinhabited". I guess that explains it.

Yes and you definitely see it when driving on Alberta highways! It’s not uncommon to be the only car in sight, and you can see much farther than Germany too!
Why would I live with other peoples used furniture? And why would I leave my property behind when I move out?
Döner is our fast food.

Regarding smoking its much better now than some years ago. Now it is not alowed to smoke in restaurants which was very disturbing.

I’m sure! Canada and the US are so big there’s bound to be some big differences!
Well, Döner _is_ fast food (and so are those other very popular quick lunches that you find at bakeries and at the butcher's, or at the "Nordsee" fish shop).
North American drivers have come to scare me. 🤣
Yesterday I saw a RUclipsr making a music video reaction while driving! 😵👿
Oh no! I’ve also seen a few videos of people pushing the limits on there cars autopilot. It’s definitely a big risk! 😅

Wenn du 50 Km zum nächsten Markt fährst würde ich mir auch nen Pickup besorgen wo 4 Wochen Lebensmittel darauf passen

Well i know it is ur Opinion , but some points of ur "shocks" sounds like a little bit of hate or it sounds like its generally in germany like that.
- first thing driver license cost maybe in ur Town where u live 2k - 4k euro , in my Town it cost 1.2k and up euro , sure compared to canada sounds really expensive but im 31 now and dont have a driver license and not really need it , the public transportion is so good here that i can go everywhere i want
- yes everything germany is smaller - cars , roads , villages and city´s close by , bc germany 30 times smaller than canada and has twice as much ppl thats why its more crowed
- the kitchen thing is bc if some apartment dont have a kitchen u have set up ur own kitchen and of course we take our kitchen with us , if we move out or sometimes u have the chance to take over the kitchen from the previous owner but if have to pay for it , nothing in live is for free , but many apartments nowadays have EBK ( Einbauküche) but of course those apartments are fast gone
maybe u should move to a bigger city bc it sounds like u live in a village and ur not happy there , if i go out the door i move 100m and have 20 or more café´s and parks where u can go to chill out with friends and not only döner shops
i dont wanna hate here but its sounded to me like that , i grow up in a little town like 20k ppl and yeah those towns are pretty dead and now i live in Lübeck in the north of germany with 220k ppl and happy with it there always something going on the city
You certainly live in a small village in Germany, everything you say is typical for small-town life here. It has not much to do with the urban life here. The wooden door alone is typical for country life. I wouldn't want to live in rural ares too, neither in Canada nor in Germany
Hello 🇰🇭 ILoveu
Very useful 👏
I’m glad it was helpful!
I Dy
We don't have a need to drive hughe cars.
Yes and I really appreciate that! So many North Americans drive vehicles much bigger than necessary and businesses will also have big company trucks because it looks more impressive.
To much about driving so I lost interest and quit after a couple of minutes, still giving it a like though.
Döner macht schöner!
Haha there is so much more available than Döner 🤣
Dude, what is it with your big cars fetish.....
You are obsessed with cars and autobahn and driving. As a christian, save the planet and walk, bike or ride the train. And people take the lamps, cabinets and dishwashers with them because they bought them and paid for them. But you can rent 'moebliert' if you like. Oh, fast food is bad for you, so try cooking sometimes. As you are so easily shocked maybe you shouldn't travel?
Lol whaaat!!? 🤣
You talked a lot of bs in that video. Your points are understandable for the most part, but your explanations are so wrong.
