Watch This Before Visiting Germany

My Brazilian friend once said "The problem with you Germans is - when we invite you, you really come visit."😉

One of the most important rule on the Autobahn is: NEVER NEVER NEVER pass another car on the right side. The only exception to this would be traffic jams.

As an austrian I have to clarify something: proper "Wiener Schnitzel" is made out of veal (Kalbsschnitzel). Veal usually being more expensive causes most of the restaurants to offer the cheapest meat, pork. And please to not drown your Schnitzel in sauce. Just have some Erdäpfelsalat on the side. Or some Bratkartoffel. But on the other side, food and tastes are subjective: eat what you like however you like to. Enjoy!

Another very important rule about the Autobahn: NEVER pass another car on the right side. This is prohibited in Germany. You always have to pass on the left and then immediatly go back to the center or right lane, depending on your speed. Always use indicators when you change lanes. And PLEASE don't use the Autobahn as a race track, that's very dangerous for yourself and for other people. The higher speed on the highway is "paid for" with adherence to the rules and responsible driving. When you drive on the Autobahn, you really have to concentrate on the driving. It's not like in the US where you just drive for hundreds miles in a straight line at sluggish 100 km/h (or even less) and are able to eat something etc.

As a German I love to watch videos of people appreciating the little things of my country haha

The first time I went to Germany I saw, as soon as I got off the plane, trash receptacles with separate bins for recyclables (divided into paper and glass), compostables, and trash. I wanted to high five everyone in sight and congratulate Germany on being awesome. I wish Americans could learn to care this much 💚

I love how Nalf always is like: "The public Transportation in Germany is great" Meanwhile german Youtubers:"Warum das Deutsche Bahnsystem so schlecht ist" Translated: Why the German Trainsystem is that bad

Lufthansa should hire you to make an introductory video for every flight coming into Germany.

Das ist ja eine regelrechte Liebeserklärung an mein Land! Danke!

You really are a phenomenal ambassador for our country! Thanks for reminding us how fortunate we are to live here - puts all the moaning and complaints into perspective :)

12:48 slight correction here "Wiener Schnitzel" is exclusively made from veal. If its not veal its not Wiener schnitzel but it might be "Wiener Art" ~ Vienner Style.

You gotta love this. Some Dude is making a guide for germany. 90% of the viewers will be german and watch to see if there is something to improve. 🤣 This video and the comments is just germany in a nutshell. And of course we watch to see if we knew everything or if there is something new to learn about the country we live in. 😂 You gotta love this country once you understood how it works. 🤩 Props to you nalf, Döner, Bakery, Barbecue, Beer and Beergarden. Are basically the pillars my life is built on.

Great video! Just a few clarifications (I'm German...): 7:51: the sign says all previous restrictions are canceled - if there were no previous restrictions, you're still good to go even without the sign. Wiener Schnitzel has to be made of veal; otherwise, it's Schnitzel Wiener Art (schnitzel Vienna style) or something to that effect. Kölsch is an ale kind of beer, upper fermentation, but fermented at a comparatively low temperature. Not many Germans outside the Cologne area appreciate it. If you do not want a refill, place the coaster on top of your glass.

Your intensity when talking about German baked goods is entertaining. That said, I used to work for a company in Ann Arbor, MI, that uses lye to make pretzels the traditional way. It's not illegal to use it in the USA, and it does make delicious pretzels.

If you like blunt honesty, visit the Netherlands.

As a German I felt caught with some of your descriptions. I actually do get out my planner if I meet someone and we decide to go for a coffee together and most of the time the coffee date does actually take place. Also that people get close to you in the supermarket is true, but they would not push you aside or be rude in the way you described it, at least not in Bavaria. That never happened to me in all me 35 years of living here.

For the food I would always recommend local dishes. Spätzle and Butterbrezn are more common in southern germany. If you visit nothern germany you maybe would have less problems with the personal bubble. Even if I am from munich and love my region germany is not only the alps and the black forest.

One tip for if you want to have some small talk with a German: Do it somewhere where you can be reasonably sure they WANT to be, like in a cafe or park, or in a beer garden. Don't expect much small talk in the grocery store unless you already know each other, because going to the grocery store is just a chore that needs to be done and we'd prefer to get it over with.

I feel like Rouladen dont get enough love for what they are. In case you havent had Rouladen so far. I would recommend. Not the Kohlrouladen, which is also great, but i mean the classic beef rouladen. I might be biased, but i still wanted to suggest it.

Great tips 👍 but 😊 Currywurst ist not a simply a Wurst and Ketschup. Most Currywurstbuden take great pride in creating their own sauce, which , yes, is Tomato based but slow cooked with a lot of spices. Just saying 😄
