    Good morning!!☀️🌸😃 Thanks for watching! What awesome things have shocked & surprised you in a new country or city?😳😄👍 P.S. I've seen some comments asking about apartments without kitchens. More details on that in this video: Moving in Germany SO STRESSFUL!!! https://youtu.be/KvCmJyt4dB4 I start talking about the subject right around 6:15

    Regarding clean cars: we have the TÜV, you will never see broken rusty cars here like in the US. You're not allowed to drive with those cars here.

    Most of the Taxis in Germany are actually black Mercedes that are coverd in a cream colored foil. This way, ones the cars get to old to be used as a Taxi (about 1-3 years) you can just remove the foil and you have a beutiful black car, that can easily be sold.

    I never thought someone would be excited about our taxis xD

    About the traffic lights in Germany. There's a good reason why it shows the colour yellow. Most cars in Germany have manual transmission. It gives you a bit of time to engage a gear.

    You need a second camera, directed towards Stefan, to capture his reactions while filming you! 😂🎥

    Küchen werden deswegen mitgenommen weil oft Küchen mehr kosten als das Auto. Die möchte man nicht dort lassen.

    I'm german and when I rented my first flat it had a kitchen in it. But I was asked to buy that and had to sell it again when I moved out to the next tenant. If I hadn't been able to sell it, I would have had to throw it out. So there ARE flats in Germany that come with a funcional kitchen, but it's not part of your actual flat. It's like an accessory ^^.

    Well, what I like about Germany is that we separate the trash into 4 different trash cans. One for plastic, one for paper, one for biological left overs like banana shells or peach cores and stuff and the last one for rest trash 😂

    “Omg the taxis are so shiny and spotless!!!” Yeah well there is something and it’s called car wash 🤔🤔🤔

    Die Farbe der deutschen Taxis ist übrigens nicht cremefarben, sondern Hellelfenbein. 1971 gab es diesen Wechsel der Taxi-Farbe von Schwarz auf diese Signalfarbe, weil früher die Krankenwagen auch diese Signalfarbe hatten, durch die sie auch bei Dunkelheit besser erkennbar sind und sich bei starker Sonneneinstrahlung nicht so stark erwärmen. Hat also nichts damit zu tun, ob die Vögel das für die Farbe von Eierschalen halten.
  • I think a great video would be differences in media like music, art, movies, tv shows between U.S. and Germany. I bring this up because i remember the German heavy metal band Rammstein was arrested in the U.S. for lewd and indecent acts following one of their only concerts here and were shocked, scared, and freaked out because they had no problems in Germany with the concert.

    The cars are clean, because roads are cleaned, there is almost no dust to get them dirty. Even at autobahn in the rain, my car remains clean. That's something I cannot say when my car is in some other countries.

    "Bompeln" in Augsburg (A City near Munich) The floor Beginns flashing red, so pedestrians and Specialy texters know that it's red
  • The best traffic lights I have ever seen are in China. They display a countdown which tells you in which amount of time the traffic lights are going to switch to green.
  • @meyermeyer8862
    Bei den Küchen gibt es einen Nord-Süd-Unterschied. In Norddeutschland werden Wohnungen traditionell eher mit Küche vermietet, in Süddeutschland eher nicht.
  • @muchmore344
    In Austria the traffic lights funktion like this: (it is the best system, keeps the flow and safety) - red - red + orange - green - GO - green blinking - START BREAKING - orange - STOP - red
  • @caciliawhy5195
    The new trend in the USA now is to buy a reserved seat on line before the show. Worth it! No rush to get there early at all!
  • @PercyPinguin
    The "kitchen thing" amazes me every time it's mentioned in one of the videos. Had never heart of that before. Couldn't believe it. Seems to be a regional thing in Germany.
