Germany didn't change me, I actually found a perfect place where I actually fit in! In my homeland, I was the outcast for being too much in to planning and organizing; no rush, no nosey personality. So I really feel like I belong, finally ♥
-
So funny that people from south America say Germany is so structured and organized while the lady from China basically said - in a very polite way - it's complete chaos. Beautiful. XD

Germany changed me a lot. first of all, I became much more organized. I learnt how to enjoy small things and also Germany inspire me a lot. This country is literally a well of inspiration and new knowledge to be picked up. Every day when I get up I feel so excited that I live in this outstanding country. Also I became much calmer and easy-going person. Germany made me much more patient and logically acting person with systematized approach towards solving problems.

Turkish girl isn't less friendly and outgoing because she's in Germany now. She's less friendly because she lives in Munich :D

I learned not to be late. I am more aware of the environmental issues. It taught me I can learn German! To be less materialistic and enjoy doing nothing but relax on a Sunday. I have become less nervous of harassment or violence or theft. I relaxed 😌

That one guy went from being Albanian to being Ecuadorian in like 1min while having an American accent hahaha
-
The Turkish and South Korean friends are such a vibe! :D loved hearing their answers haha
-
Really appreciate the fact that you put the country in the corner now. Helps to keep a context

The Russian girl was so articulate and well balanced. All these young people came across very well and it was a heart warming, optimistic video. I'm British and live in Prague.

Lived and worked in Germany, fitted in with the Germans very easily, and found them to be great at helping out, interesting to talk to and very wonderful people. Went to China 6 times and found that the Chinese streets will virtually come to a standstill, with the pedestrians, to ogle you if you're non Asian, or non African. Lived in Korea for a spell, beautiful food, very inexpensive and the people are very hospitable, even if the girls fall asleep on your shoulder on the train.

I've been living in Germany for more than 12 years. Coming from a very quiet, small and humble northern country, I have always been shy. Watching this video has made me realise that I have become very honest and unapologetic 😂 I loved rules and laws before but now even more - I need everything to have structure and things go according to the plan. In my opinion Germans are not spontaneous at all and I have started to hate surprises 😂 It's really cool to see how one grows as a person in another culture and environment.

I'm English and my husband is German and, when he met me, he said he would've assumed by the way I look and act that I'm German not British. When I asked why he said it's because I wear very little makeup, I don't wear skimpy dresses to go out when it's freezing cold (apparently he got a shock when he saw British women wearing tiny dresses in winter on a night out), I'm more health conscious than the average Brit (he'd seen a lot of Brits binge drinking), I'm fair but not pasty, and I'm quite reserved and I love efficiency!

Great answers and awesome stories! And I’m still thinking since Saturday afternoon about “how Germany changed me” and I’m still not done with it, crazy!
-
Germany didn’t charge me, I found myself here ❤
-
Nice video. I appreciate, you let people talk, listening patiently, without interrupting and also giving them time and attention, while they talk. 👍
-
Love your interviews ❤️

About the monitor on the car. I still don’t recommend doing this in Germany leaving your stuff unattended in public. Because I encountered many occasions where the stuff I left/forgot in public wasn’t there anymore when I came back to look for it. Turns out every single time it wasn’t stolen, but somebody took my stuff to the Fundbüros😂 (a place where „lost“ stuff is gathered and you can go there and get it back for free). In fact once when I was little somebody took my schoolbackpack and returned it to the school(bc the books had my school name including my name) and alas, my name was called out through the speakers throughout the whole school to get my backpack back.

I absolutely love Germany. It's crazy to think how much the world has switched up in a century. Germany used to be the biggest enemies. Now it is one of the biggest allies and partners on the world stage, doing a lot of good in the world. I really want to visit Germany. Great video! Your friend from Canada!

I really enjoy your interviews so much. Everyone you talk to is so nice and fun and has so much insight❤ I'm so glad that people enjoy Munich.
