My family is Chinese and we have a rule of not gifting shoes as it has a bad connotation in our culture. But when I visited Munich and stocked up on Birkenstocks at a significantly lower price that rule went out the window
My grandmother loved these Lindor Chocolates. When she passed away five years ago, we found stashes everywhere around the house. We didn't run out of them for months.
When my Babcia died (I'm half Polish, half German), we found a lot of high quality chocolate as well, but I know for a fact that she didn't eat a lot of chocolate :D She just got them as gifts a lot and didn't want to regift them.

When we had German friends visit us in America, the one thing they wanted to do was go to the nearby super mall (Sawgrass Mills in S. Florida) to buy jeans and shoes xD. Apparently it’s much much cheaper here, so they brought an extra suitcase and filled up with that as souvenirs. You never know what people really want sometimes lol.
I know right ? xD As ahalf German and being raise dmostly in Europe i find it funny to see aswell, but i do recognize the creme she got for her family, my other half etnicity is Korean and as you may know we are the capital of plastic surgery ( i do not say this with pride at all) and certain creme's they overprice there allot, because peopel will pay for it but here it's 1,80 perhaps 2 euro super cheap in comparison.

For anyone who has family that love Lindt and live around Aachen, they have a Lindt factory there with a huge shop that sells all the Lindt stuff. Also they sell the pieces that didnt pass the beauty check for cheap. Big 1kg bags for a pretty good price. Even if you dont live around the city is worth a visit, they have a nice old town around the beautyful cathedral and the original city gate still exists.

Thank you for the videos!
That's such a nice selection of gifts. Even if some are not a 100%german /made in Germany, I think they are still very typical in everyday German life. For the Lindt chocolate: I think they taste even better, when they are stored in the fridge. And when you want to have one, you just take them out a few minutes before, so they can warm up a little bit. Makes them "crunchy" and creamy at the same time and is helpful when it's hot outside, so they won't melt away

I think big food companies like haribo, coca cola, etc. Change a little bit the comp depending on the target country (to adjust to the taste). In some countries it's a little bit sweeter, bitter or something. Might be why u like those more
Yes, sometimes it is adjustments to the taste preferences, but often it is also a question of infrastructure and which ingredients are available and sourcable and affordable in that country. And the quality of some raw ingredients also might vary from country to country. There may be different impurities, higher or lower hygiene requirements, ingredients may be more or less refined, some may be banned and some may just be more commonly available. There may be different laws regarding herbicides and pesticides and importing all the ingredients from Germany may not be practical and economical. All of these factors come into play.
@@johanneshalberstadt3663 What you wrote, plus the shelf life / quality. Sweets usually don't get cooling in transport/storage/shops. So if you want a certain shelf life / permanent quality for, you adjust its composition to make it withstand the expected temperature (changes) in the target country, or to not have it evaporate some aroma too fast etc. For example, some chocolate companies swap a low-temp melting fat with a higher-temp melting one if the target country is hot, which usually affects the taste a little. In turn, some companies may choose to not put in such effort, which may cause products to degrade in quality quicker when they're not transported/stored/sold at the same conditions as in their "home country/climate", which equally will affect how those things taste outside their "home country/climate".
I'm a german, but my mom is originally from China and each time we/she visited her family, she always brought one suitcase with her filled with chocolate (mostly Ritter Sport because that's her brother's favorite brand haha), any kind of skin creme from Alverde or Nivea and most importantly milk powder from Hipp! :D

As a dutch person I sometimes forget that most products are the same in Germany as in the Netherlands. hahah I mean also the Haribo candy we have also a lot of different flavours because they get imported from Germany.
Interesting to see what you take home as gifts. Never would've expected the supplements and teas 😆 But you're right, tea culture in central Europe is completely different from English speaking countries and many Asian countries. It's mostly herbal teas, you get many different blends of a variety of herbs which is why they're sold as medication in some cases depending on the herbs used. I can still remember a time when green and black tea were rather scarce around here. Nowadays they're a lot more common, which results in an even greater number of different blends. As a tea lover, it's great😍

I have never thought of black tea as being scarce anywhere. I just presumed everyone drank black tea. Where are you from ? Green and white teas became more popular in the west since after WWII, but i always thought of tea as a universal drink. I hope you will tell me where you are from. I find this interesting.
@@avalerie4467I am from Romania. When we say we want to drink tea, we don’t immediately reffer to black or green tea. We might refer to white tea, oolong tea, herb tea, rooibos tea, earl grey, chamomile, peppermint, jasmine, yellow tea, linden tea, lavender tea, orange tea, berry tea, ginger tea, lemon tea etc etc. Usually we don’t drink black or green tea actually. We drink some herbs or fruits tea or a mix of them. And we drink tea a lot of time to make us healthy.
It may interest you to know that Skechers is an American brand that's made in Vietnam and China, not the US. I love how mindful you are by bringing back so many gifts for everybody and especially the haribo gummies to give to the children. Absolutely wonderful. Your fiance is really lucky.
Actually even riekers make a lot of their shoes in vietnam now along with other countries, so there is a good chance that both the shoes she bought for her parents were made in her home country.
You are just so adorable. Your short videos are so funny too. And you guys make a lovely couple. I wish u all the joy and love in your future endeavors together.

When it comes to Haribo, visiting one of their official stores is a must. They offer special products or flavours, which are hard to come by; including products you only find abroad. The failure-packs are also always a surprise, which consist of candy which were removed from the factory line. iirc in Bonn Bad-Godesberg they're getting their stuff directly from their factory.
Your voice is so soothing and you come across really genuine. I'd listen to you reading the phone book. Although a podcast would be much more interesting :)

Haribo in Germany does taste way better than the Haribo sold in the US! The ingredients are actually slightly different between the German and US versions. Maybe the same is true for other countries?
I love your videos. It feels authentic and different. I am originally from Puerto Rico, and I went to Germany for a month on my 15th birthday. Now I live in the USA. Keep posting here 😊

As a northern scandinavian I never understood why chocolate bars weren't super popular all over the world... that is, until we had a three week heatwave with 30C and all the chocolate got soft and mushy. I had never had less desire to eat chocolate in my life. Ok, so now I get why warm countries are going "Meh" about chocolate bars. So yeah. Turkish delight is now my new favourite summer candy, so nice and soft when it is room temperature without getting icky.
When my mom worked at the M&M ) Mars candy factory in Chicago during WWII, she was a taster... Not the good kind either. She would dab a bit of Vaseline to taste if it had to much petroleum aftertaste... It was used on the conveyors so candy wouldn't stick . AND she also did the same for the extra wax they would mix in with the chocolate that was destined for the Pacific troops because it would keep it from melting as much😮😮. So there is your American chocolate trivia for the day!! 😊😊
@@juliav7249 it's ok ... that was in the 40's. We don't have to use that crap anymore. A raccoon got into my m&m bag while I was camping... I was so pissed! I didn't want to share my candy 😊

When I'm carrying things that take refrigeration I use a small thermal picnic bag and I throw in there a thermal ice pack or two (the plastic ones that people use for picnics and such) with whatever product I wanna transport. Then I pack the whole thing in my suitcase. I carried things that spoil a lot easier than sausages and they stayed well refrigerated :)
Your videos are spot on. What I haven't seen yet: The top-to-bottom gaze when assessing someone. Staring too long at someone. Expression of incredulousness when something unexpected happens (das gibt's doch nicht). Constant handshakes. Unusually loud laughter when sitting in a group in cafes, restaurants, etc. Doing things in groups. Sweeping the street in front of your house. And the list goes on. 🙂
Found you on Instagram, so I'm very happy to see that you're also here on CZcams! I hope you have an amazing time in Vietnam seeing your family again :)

Your comment about chocolate being too sweet for the Vietnamese palate just explains to me why (generalizing now, please forgive me) asians tend to be way skinnier than people in other places. If it wasn't for the heartburn it gives me, I think I would eat chocolate all day 🥲 Also, I love the DM vitamins! So many options and so inexpensive!
Hallo Uyen! As a German, it is really lovely and interesting to see your perspective on German culture. One small region of Germany however has its own tea culture based on black tea. In Ostfriesland, which in many aspects has its own very particular regional culture different from the rest of Germany, black tea is drunken as regularly and often as coffee is in the rest of the country. How they drink tea in Ostfriesland has similarities to tea in England, as it is traditionally served in thin porcelain cups, poured over a piece of rock sugar that slowly dissolves, and topped with a spoonful of heavy cream. We even have our own tea time, or called tee tied on Plattdeutsch, at half past four in the afternoon. The East Frisians got introduced to tea via Dutch colonial traders. The region of East Frisia is in the utmost northwest of Germany directl borders the Netherlands. The Dutch colonial empire had access to tea via the Dutch colonies in Indonesia. Those traveling Dutch salespeople introduced the East Frisians to tea and it stuck with us ever since. In the period directly after the war, when food was rationed, people from East Frisi would even travel to the industr areas of the Ruhrpott and trade i.e. butter or eggs (east Frisia is a rural area so there's more agriculture and was not as heavily destroyed as industrial area of the country) for the tea ration cards of the coal mine workers, who were given extra tea and coffe rations since they were heavy labourers.
Dear Uyen, I love your videos so much! Just so much joy and so much kindness, you and bf are amazing! Thank you so much, your videos are perfect :) for happiness
Es gibt Weißwürste in Dosen, die kannst du ohne Bedenken mitnehmen..und geschmacklich sind die voll okay, wenn man das Original nicht kennt! // There are canned white sausages available. You can transport them without worries. They taste pretty close to the fresh ones.
When my aunt came home from Germany last October, she brought back a lot of chocolates, from child friendly to chocolates with alcohol content. I personally love Lindt chocolates, that's why she bought 2 boxes for me 😁 1 big box of chocolate w/ whiskey (I forgot the name) and some Merci. I haven't seen her brought back Haribo. I'll ask her to bring back some when she comes home next year. She also brought back toothpaste like 2 dozen of them. I have sensitive gums and toothpaste there really suited me.
Rieke are super comfortable shoes and good quality for a good price, I love them. I hope your father likes his gift, well I hope your whole family likes all the gifts.
Very interesting selection! I don't know about the tea culture in Vietnam, but I LOVE Vietnamese coffee. Especially the ritual to make it, with the thick, condensed sweet milk. Ah, memories :)

I’m Swedish but can confirm that Rieker shoes are amazing! I have several pairs myself and often wear my round toe casual sneaker type Rieker shoes with memory foam insoles and a zipper on the side of the laces so they’re super easy to put on and take off, all while always having the same fit since you don’t need to mess with the laces every time

I can tell you the expected reactions, because it's Vietnamese culture. They would say something like this "why do you buy too much" in a harsh way (not welcome the gift) but actually they would like the gifts, it shows she still misses home and still cares for family members (not because of the value of the gift but the small details). At the same time they don't want their daughter to miss home too much so they ask her not to buy much (not putting so much care). Because of the contrary emotions, it's not fun to see their reaction, because most of the time there is no emotion at all, they would hide a lot. but you can clearly feel the warmth in a standard Vietnamese family as always.

Usually, the food stuff sold in the US has lot of unhealthy ingredients such as HFCS because it's much cheaper than sugar.
Yes, sometimes it is adjustments to the taste preferences, but often it is also a question of infrastructure and which ingredients are available and sourcable and affordable in that country.

So if you want a certain shelf life / permanent quality for, you adjust its composition to make it withstand the expected temperature (changes) in the target country, or to not have it evaporate some aroma too fast etc. For example, some chocolate companies swap a low-temp melting fat with a higher-temp melting one if the target country is hot, which usually affects the taste a little.
In turn, some companies may choose to not put in such effort, which may cause products to degrade in quality quicker when they're not transported/stored/sold at the same conditions as in their "home country/climate", which equally will affect how those things taste outside their "home country/climate".
LINDOOOR! forever in our hearts❤️
Watching you be so genuine makes me so happy! Great ideas! 🥰
You are soooo kind and generous ❤
What thoughtful gifts! I can tell you are a lovely, devoted family! ❤️ Grüße aus Österreich!
I'm a german, but my mom is originally from China and each time we/she visited her family, she always brought one suitcase with her filled with chocolate (mostly Ritter Sport because that's her brother's favorite brand haha), any kind of skin creme from Alverde or Nivea and most importantly milk powder from Hipp! :D
chinese people aren't german.
I love that you show both cultures it's amazing to see how other people truly live ❤️🦋 es divertido verte adaptarte a una cultura diferente
I love how thoughtful your gifts are.
this was so wholesome to watch! a really calm and sweet vibe 🥰
OMG, you are adorable and it's so sweet that you got all that for your family. I love your videos. My family is German, so these videos are fun. I have learned a lot about Vietnam, also.

You are so sweet. Bringing stuff to your family. I do that too when I lived outside my Island. I bring back different things. It makes you feel better.❤
So many presents! And all were so carefully planned and useful. Nothing to put on a shelf to collect dust.
I like Rieker shoes as well.
Love how thoughtful you are with the gifts, I hope your family will like them 💕
I also ADORE SKETCHERS!

Hanuta is great, but Knoppers is the worst :)

My sister loves Knoppers and brings them back to Canada. I love Hanuta and always buy them when I’m in Germany. So I’m Team Hanuta
You're so down to earth. Love this channel
Such thoughtful gifts! 🥰
This is so helpful! 🤩 I never know what to bring to the Philippines when we visit the family of my husband. Sausages, Tea and handcreme is a real game changer!

OMG! Our Filipino friends and co- workers love the chocolates from the West because it tastes differently from what they get from China and Malaysia!
As a dutch person I sometimes forget that most products are the same in Germany as in the Netherlands. hahah I mean also the Haribo candy we have also a lot of different flavours because they get imported from Germany.
You're a great person. love watching your videos!
You seem so sweet and lovely. Wishing you all the best!
Interesting to see what you take home as gifts. Never would've expected the supplements and teas 😆 But you're right, tea culture in central Europe is completely different from English speaking countries and many Asian countries. It's mostly herbal teas, you get many different blends of a variety of herbs which is why they're sold as medication in some cases depending on the herbs used. I can still remember a time when green and black tea were rather scarce around here. Nowadays they're a lot more common, which results in an even greater number of different blends. As a tea lover, it's great😍

I have never thought of black tea as being scarce anywhere. I just presumed everyone drank black tea. Where are you from ?
Green and white teas became more popular in the west since after WWII, but i always thought of tea as a universal drink.
I hope you will tell me where you are from. I find this interesting.
@@avalerie4467I am from Romania. When we say we want to drink tea, we don’t immediately reffer to black or green tea.
We might refer to white tea, oolong tea, herb tea, rooibos tea, earl grey, chamomile, peppermint, jasmine, yellow tea, linden tea, lavender tea, orange tea, berry tea, ginger tea, lemon tea etc etc.
Usually we don’t drink black or green tea actually. We drink some herbs or fruits tea or a mix of them. And we drink tea a lot of time to make us healthy.
It may interest you to know that Skechers is an American brand that's made in Vietnam and China, not the US.
I love how mindful you are by bringing back so many gifts for everybody and especially the haribo gummies to give to the children. Absolutely wonderful. Your fiance is really lucky.
Actually even riekers make a lot of their shoes in vietnam now along with other countries, so there is a good chance that both the shoes she bought for her parents were made in her home country.
I just been in China and there are sketchers shops
I just checked google maps and there are a few sketchers shops in Hanoi
These are such thoughtful useful gifts! I'm sure your family will love them xxx
You are just so adorable. Your short videos are so funny too. And you guys make a lovely couple. I wish u all the joy and love in your future endeavors together.
I really love all of the content that you put on Instagram, CZcams. I moved to Germany last year and watching your videos really helped me transition into a new country. Wish you a safe travel and hope you have an amazing trip to Vietnam!

I could listen to you all day, very calming haha
When it comes to Haribo, visiting one of their official stores is a must. They offer special products or flavours, which are hard to come by; including products you only find abroad.
The failure-packs are also always a surprise, which consist of candy which were removed from the factory line. iirc in Bonn Bad-Godesberg they're getting their stuff directly from their factory.
The gummy naked people were a surprise when I was in Germany 😆
Your English sounds exactly like a German speaking English!! It's sooooo lovely 😍🤩 hahahahaha
Great gift choices
I love practical gifts that are filled with thoughtfulness.
I love the patio; the plants are beautiful!!
Your voice is so soothing and you come across really genuine. I'd listen to you reading the phone book. Although a podcast would be much more interesting :)

You are such a good daughter...and person
Haribo in Germany does taste way better than the Haribo sold in the US! The ingredients are actually slightly different between the German and US versions. Maybe the same is true for other countries?
I love your videos. It feels authentic and different. I am originally from Puerto Rico, and I went to Germany for a month on my 15th birthday. Now I live in the USA. Keep posting here 😊

so very generous of you to bring home gifts of such magnitude! I am sure your family was overjoyed at your wonderful gifts!
As a northern scandinavian I never understood why chocolate bars weren't super popular all over the world... that is, until we had a three week heatwave with 30C and all the chocolate got soft and mushy. I had never had less desire to eat chocolate in my life. Ok, so now I get why warm countries are going "Meh" about chocolate bars. So yeah. Turkish delight is now my new favourite summer candy, so nice and soft when it is room temperature without getting icky.
i hate even room-temp chocolate! i always refrigerate my chocolate because i like the “snap” it gets when it’s cold
As an Australian I am very amused at 30c being a heat wave😄
When my mom worked at the M&M ) Mars candy factory in Chicago during WWII, she was a taster... Not the good kind either. She would dab a bit of Vaseline to taste if it had to much petroleum aftertaste... It was used on the conveyors so candy wouldn't stick . AND she also did the same for the extra wax they would mix in with the chocolate that was destined for the Pacific troops because it would keep it from melting as much😮😮. So there is your American chocolate trivia for the day!! 😊😊
@@missingutah I've never wanted to throw my M&M's across the room before now...
@@juliav7249 it's ok ... that was in the 40's. We don't have to use that crap anymore. A raccoon got into my m&m bag while I was camping... I was so pissed! I didn't want to share my candy 😊
please make more videos! I would love a comparison for day to day things like shopping, going out for entertainment, chores.
The first time i ended up watching all the shorts of a channel .. truly u r soo realistic and humble .. God bless u with much more dear .. 🇮🇳
very beautiful and helpful!! Very wise indeed!! Thank you :) ☺❤
honestly youre such a role model for me living abroad i love youre videos

I love Ricola. The honey and lemon one is the best. When ever I need a cough drop I always get Ricola.
When I'm carrying things that take refrigeration I use a small thermal picnic bag and I throw in there a thermal ice pack or two (the plastic ones that people use for picnics and such) with whatever product I wanna transport. Then I pack the whole thing in my suitcase. I carried things that spoil a lot easier than sausages and they stayed well refrigerated :)
Ypure super sweet ❤
Your videos are spot on. What I haven't seen yet: The top-to-bottom gaze when assessing someone. Staring too long at someone. Expression of incredulousness when something unexpected happens (das gibt's doch nicht). Constant handshakes. Unusually loud laughter when sitting in a group in cafes, restaurants, etc. Doing things in groups. Sweeping the street in front of your house. And the list goes on. 🙂
Found you on Instagram, so I'm very happy to see that you're also here on CZcams! I hope you have an amazing time in Vietnam seeing your family again :)

Your comment about chocolate being too sweet for the Vietnamese palate just explains to me why (generalizing now, please forgive me) asians tend to be way skinnier than people in other places. If it wasn't for the heartburn it gives me, I think I would eat chocolate all day 🥲 Also, I love the DM vitamins! So many options and so inexpensive!
I love your channel! It’s always calming and a good time to watch. You have a lovely personality :)
I'm a relatively new subscriber and just absolutely LOVE your videos. They are so funny and original and cute!
Hallo Uyen! As a German, it is really lovely and interesting to see your perspective on German culture.
One small region of Germany however has its own tea culture based on black tea. In Ostfriesland, which in many aspects has its own very particular regional culture different from the rest of Germany, black tea is drunken as regularly and often as coffee is in the rest of the country.
How they drink tea in Ostfriesland has similarities to tea in England, as it is traditionally served in thin porcelain cups, poured over a piece of rock sugar that slowly dissolves, and topped with a spoonful of heavy cream. We even have our own tea time, or called tee tied on Plattdeutsch, at half past four in the afternoon.
The East Frisians got introduced to tea via Dutch colonial traders. The region of East Frisia is in the utmost northwest of Germany directl borders the Netherlands. The Dutch colonial empire had access to tea via the Dutch colonies in Indonesia.
Those traveling Dutch salespeople introduced the East Frisians to tea and it stuck with us ever since. In the period directly after the war, when food was rationed, people from East Frisi would even travel to the industr areas of the Ruhrpott and trade i.e. butter or eggs (east Frisia is a rural area so there's more agriculture and was not as heavily destroyed as industrial area of the country) for the tea ration cards of the coal mine workers, who were given extra tea and coffe rations since they were heavy labourers.
What a beautiful insight into your home ❤💜💙 so lovely to hear history and how things became traditional there 🥰
Ich sage nur Thiele Tee Broken Silber - bin zwar nach Karlsruhe gezogen, kann ihn aber Gott sei dank online bestellen!

Dear Uyen, I love your videos so much! Just so much joy and so much kindness, you and bf are amazing! Thank you so much, your videos are perfect :) for happiness
I was feeling bad today but now i feel better, thank u, your content is really relaxing plus I learn a lot of new things too
Es gibt Weißwürste in Dosen, die kannst du ohne Bedenken mitnehmen..und geschmacklich sind die voll okay, wenn man das Original nicht kennt! // There are canned white sausages available. You can transport them without worries. They taste pretty close to the fresh ones.
Ah, Jeremias Schönherr, you accidentally left out the bit about "it tastes pretty good to people who don't know the original!" Lol!
When my aunt came home from Germany last October, she brought back a lot of chocolates, from child friendly to chocolates with alcohol content. I personally love Lindt chocolates, that's why she bought 2 boxes for me 😁 1 big box of chocolate w/ whiskey (I forgot the name) and some Merci. I haven't seen her brought back Haribo. I'll ask her to bring back some when she comes home next year. She also brought back toothpaste like 2 dozen of them. I have sensitive gums and toothpaste there really suited me.
Rieke are super comfortable shoes and good quality for a good price, I love them. I hope your father likes his gift, well I hope your whole family likes all the gifts.
Hope for a true German gift your dad also gets the socks to go with those sandals. 😂
Very interesting selection! I don't know about the tea culture in Vietnam, but I LOVE Vietnamese coffee. Especially the ritual to make it, with the thick, condensed sweet milk. Ah, memories :)

I've been stressing about what to bring back with me for my family and relatives. Thanks for the video, I'm gonna stock up supplements and handcremes. Am I the only one who still gets amazed at this huge package of Nutella?
So cute, I'm glad that he has you.
Uyen, I hope your travels are going well. I only recently discovered your content and I love it.
So cute and wholesome! Makes me wish I had Asian parents I could buy gifts for.
You are such a lovely person! Recent subscriber 😊
Edit: I also love your accent. To my American ear, it sounds delicately Vietnamese and German, and your English is perfect! A nice combination!
I just love your videos! Your content appeared in the “shorts” bit of my feed and it’s so charming and funny. This was the first long video I’ve seen and it was really interesting! We are Scottish currently in France and we also have a lot of things that we always take back to Scotland because they aren’t available there or are nicer than we get at home or just as curiosities. Looking forward to many more videos. Have a great trip home. x
I wish you wonderful holidays with your family and your friends!!!

I’m Swedish but can confirm that Rieker shoes are amazing! I have several pairs myself and often wear my round toe casual sneaker type Rieker shoes with memory foam insoles and a zipper on the side of the laces so they’re super easy to put on and take off, all while always having the same fit since you don’t need to mess with the laces every time
Thanks for writing that down. I’ve been scrolling the comments for the mark she mentioned.
When I saw the sandals, I immediately thought that these are for your father. Have you ever heard of the Ecco brand? they also make good (and just as expensive) sandals :)
I love my ecco brand shoes!
I have ecco sneakers that have a sewing pattern like some fancy dress shoe, it sounds like it shouldn't work but it does.

I can tell you the expected reactions, because it's Vietnamese culture. They would say something like this "why do you buy too much" in a harsh way (not welcome the gift) but actually they would like the gifts, it shows she still misses home and still cares for family members (not because of the value of the gift but the small details). At the same time they don't want their daughter to miss home too much so they ask her not to buy much (not putting so much care).
Because of the contrary emotions, it's not fun to see their reaction, because most of the time there is no emotion at all, they would hide a lot.
but you can clearly feel the warmth in a standard Vietnamese family as always.
I got great cheer from this video!🤗
Yor familiy will feel like christmas, with all your Gifts. Good Girl👍😊🇦🇹
Rieker is the bomb! I discovered that brand here in Canada. So comfortable and stylish.
