I live and grew up in St. Gallen. I love this city. We got so many different scenes in this city. I had to laugh a bit when you saw the kids alone on the street. In Switzerland its normal to go all alone in Kindergarden. and on streets. nice to see a different kind of view
That’s awesome! It’s a beautiful city. It’s always funny for us to see such young kids walking to school on their own. Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you subscribe to our channel!
You know what? You made my day right now! The situation in Israel is really difficult with the Corona and now that I saw your video, I felt like I was in Switzerland again and I had a lot of fun. As if I was walking with you. I always admire how beautiful you are you look like princesses! Thanks for everything. With much love, Orit.
Hey Orit! That's so sweet. Thanks for the nice comment! We hope you're doing well over in Israel. I know it's so hard in so many different countries and very uncertain times. Sending you our love. ❤️ ❤️
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Thank you so much for answering me !!! You made me very happy! You always make me happy and in this difficult time it is even More important to stay happy so thank you! Enjoy every moment and take care of yourself! Love, Orit.
Writing from Turkey and thanking you for taking us to our favorite country (besides our own of course) again. St. Gallen was the first part of Switzerland I had ever seen- I was 8 or 9 and fell in love with the place! I took my wife there thirty years ago and we've been holidaying in that country regularly ever since. My wife and I enjoyed watching your Swiss videos with pleasure and nostalgia, especially poignant in this pandemic year of restricted travel!
Making me smile looking at you and your 3 girls. Lovely video and I'm watching from Singapore. Visiting St Gallen soon - thanks for highlighting the places of interest
Excellent video. Great Editing. Incredible music woven in with awesome drone footage. Great to hear Tyler. Yummy chocolate for the chocolate connoisseur. Espresso chocolate must be awesome. Mt Santis is beautiful. Marvelous St. Gall Abbey library. Swiss chocolate rocks!
Hey, it was nice to hear Tyler's voice in there for one brief moment. I had been just wondering if he was with you in some of those scenes, so it was nice to know that he was! Steve from Guelph, Canada.
I live in St Gallen and I can definitely relate to people refusing to get on camera lol. People here are kinda shy, and they'll surely find it awkward if some stranger randomly shows up starting a conversation, even more if it's gonna be on RUclips 😂 2-3 beers will solve it though 😂😂😂 I just subscribed to your channel, see you next time 😁☀️
The cathedral actually dates from the 18th century (built 1755 - 1767). It is a substitute of much older buildings. It was mostly built in the roccoco-style, as was the library. The monastery was founded in 711 by st. Othmar. But it was built on the ground of the hermitage of St. Gallus (allegedly a irish monk, maybe he was from what is nowadays France, hence his name Gallus (Latin for Gaul). Gallus came there in 612.
Wow!!!! So awesome thanks for sharing however it was a bit spooky with Julia on that edge in the mountains it looks like a gravel Trail...... with loose rocks that was very uncomfortable I'm glad you made it down okay.... and as always thanks for sharing
That was outstanding in its entirety. Fortunate you had some blue sky on the mountain top. Folks were so serious about the chocolate question. Me: "It tastes GOOD!"
Switzerland is a beautiful country!!!! I can't wait to make a visit out there one day!!!! Does it cost any money to go up the Mt. Santis? If so, how much? Thanks!!!!
Wow Switzerland is absolutely breathtaking 😍 Hi 🙋🏽♀️ Patton whanau (family) this place is so refreshing, gosh I love the church and library 👌🏽 so beautiful, I'm curious, how high are You and Chloe? that's a loooooong way down.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders That is high wow, I'm going for a walk, run up Mount Edgecumbe ( Putauaki) on Sunday, "depending on weather and it's around the same height, but doesn't look anything like that with cliffs lol thank goodness and sorry I meant Julia 😁.
6:30 - kids walking on their own. This used to be the same in Germany until about 10 years ago. Unfortunately the American way of 'helicopter parenting' has swapped over to Germany as it is not seen anymore.
Are you serious? I thought in Germany it would be a little bit more like it is in CH. It's so nice to see children walking to and from school. There's a certain freedom that you feel and also a sense of confidence that the children must get from going out on their own. It would be so nice if this could be the case in other countries.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders It's getting "worse" here too. But as a Parent you can let your kid walk around freely. Cars have to stop at a so called "Zebrastreifen" (Zebra stripes) if there are pedestrians waiting to cross.
That library was the most ornate i have ever seen.. I guess the Swiss have a reputation for being reserved and that showed up when you tried to ask for peoples opinions of Swiss Choc.. I note many of the people who succeeded in interviewing where not native Swiss..
If you asking a guy from switzerland do you like swiss chocolate it is obviously he does. Soooooo it is a silly question because i am from saint gallen!
I could not get into the Library since they did not allow you to bring in backpacks. You had to leave them in the floor outside. Now I have been traveling in CH for 20 years and I love the cultural difference between CH and the US. But I just can not bring myself to leave my property unattended or allow my young children to walk unattended like they do there. Just so sad for us.
Ja!zu mich Schweitz Chocolate ist der besser die allewelt..so Schön fantasticks.. Yah to me Schwiss Chocolate is the best of the world..so nice fantastic 🇧🇷🤸♂️🚵♂️
Thanks for the video. Its mostly very nice but I have a bit of critique too: claiming that little kindergarden kids crossing streets all by themselves is "something you dont see in any other country in the world" 6:49 is first bold and dishonest, secondly very rude. Sounds like something an American would say. You might want to know that is a default standard of life in every single safe developed country, like in all northern european countries even in the biggest cities. It is a default for kids to walk or bike alone to school and friends houses. Some kids at age of 7 travel hundreds of kilometers alone if they want to. It might even blow your mind to learn that in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland parents even leave babies alone to sleep outside in strollers. Its safe and healthy to do so. So please do not expect all countries to be as unsafe as the ones you have been in. And please do not make such false statements about other countries. Someone watching your video might even believe you that the safety in switzerland is unique and rare compared to rest of the world.
Well I wouldn't say this about Mexico, Thailand, Guyana, South Africa etc...If I'm in Switzerland say it's safe, that's because it is. It's not rude if I missed sayign that other European countries are safe... Sorry if it offended you.
This was from one of our past trips. Just making sure we’re not confusing you...
👌👌👌
Switzerland is beautiful scenery with man made accessories, NZ is beautiful scenery with natures own accessories. :)
Lol! I was wondering that?

Very pretty indeed.
Lovely ! I am looking for the village of Achmos
Always follow your videos ... thanks
Awesome. Thanks!

Mainau in Lake Constance is worth a visit, especially in the spring to see the flowers.
Fantastic! Always nice to see beautiful flowers.
Beautiful💕

Yeah, it's beautiful! The cost to go up is about $55.
I am from St.Gallen and watching a RUclips Videos from Strangers over St.Gallen.
It must be funny to see people touring your home city.

It sure is a beautiful country. The mountain top is about 2500 meters or 8200 feet.

Un gran saludo familia ✌🏻️tengo una pregunta dime cuál es el país que sabe mejor el chocolate 😁🍫
Saludos a ti! Diría que los suizos tienen el mejor chocolate y es por eso que también consumen más.
Growing Up Without Borders gracias chicas 🙏🏼👍🏼🤓❤️

Yeah it wasn’t easy getting anyone to go on video. The library is spectacular!
Do you speak Swiss German?
No not at all. We can only understand a few words.
Wow! Unbelievable!
Thanks!

That’s great. Maybe we showed you something new from your hometown. 😉🙌

Ja!zu mich Schweitz Chocolate ist der besser die allewelt..so Schön fantasticks..
Yah to me Schwiss Chocolate is the best of the world..so nice fantastic
🇧🇷🤸♂️🚵♂️
Yes 💯!!
Thanks for the video. Its mostly very nice but I have a bit of critique too: claiming that little kindergarden kids crossing streets all by themselves is "something you dont see in any other country in the world" 6:49 is first bold and dishonest, secondly very rude. Sounds like something an American would say.
You might want to know that is a default standard of life in every single safe developed country, like in all northern european countries even in the biggest cities. It is a default for kids to walk or bike alone to school and friends houses. Some kids at age of 7 travel hundreds of kilometers alone if they want to. It might even blow your mind to learn that in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland parents even leave babies alone to sleep outside in strollers. Its safe and healthy to do so.
So please do not expect all countries to be as unsafe as the ones you have been in. And please do not make such false statements about other countries. Someone watching your video might even believe you that the safety in switzerland is unique and rare compared to rest of the world.
Well I wouldn't say this about Mexico, Thailand, Guyana, South Africa etc...If I'm in Switzerland say it's safe, that's because it is. It's not rude if I missed sayign that other European countries are safe... Sorry if it offended you.
😳😃😃
Watching that walk my feet had the worst bout of tingles. :(
Us too!! 😳😂😂 I can’t believe people can walk along there without being scared.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Far worse than taking a bungy jump I reckon . scary scary.
IMHO Swiss chocolate is # 2. Belgian choco is the best.
But have you tried Cailler chocolate?
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders No, I have not. I would give it a try if it were available here. Milka has a too milky taste. Toblerone has too many nuts.

Thanks for the heart
Very beautiful place. Very boring place.
