Flying The Nest GERMANY IS CHEAP ?
Come to Romania.
Love ur vlogs. Where re yu both from?
Very ironic you guys are staying in this fancy ass hotel and booking first class in the train but worried about how expensive the food is going to be. You clearly have more than enough money if you can afford a hotel like that. You should have noticed how incredibly expensive Switzerland is as soon as you booked the hotel
they won 10000$ for traveling. I'm not sure if food was covered by that, maybe that's the reason.
yes but it's really weird to film being in a first class train and a expensive hotel and then asking is Switzerland really expensive
Roman74750 yea you right they stayed in f****** hotel schweizerhof
Why would you criticize someone for the hotel they stayed in? Weird. They weren't complaining about things being expensive, just stating a fact. Good move buying groceries in Germany ahead of time to save some bucks.
To be fair, they are travelling on Eurorail (the Interrail version for non-Europeans), first class with this pass isn't all that expensive.
Buying groceries from Germany for Switzerland is actually a very swiss thing to do! :D
But not in aldi:(
yes my friends do it too
@@tristtv2880 where to then ?
@@grivious31 Lidl
but its bad for the economy
WTF Hotel Schweizerhof is one of the expensivest hotels in Schwitzerland.
Ikr
+Bauimo Yeah - let's buy some cheap grocieries but stay in one of the most epensive hotel in switzerland.
Omg I know I went on tour of Europe last year and stayed three days there, and It was the most expensive hotel I stayed at and I stayed in 8 different hotels.
+Bauimo Most expensive* my god...
SwissTec
sory but i dont really speak english
People are moving from one country to another in the world and am here moving from one room to another at home :)
:P
+Rama Ramroum Is your travel insurance ok and proper vaccines taken? Room travelling can be risky sometimes.
+YPO6 hahaha, yaas I almost died as I went to the bathroom by a lego..:)
+Rama Ramroum hehehe thats good!
+VALIS VLOG 🤘🏻
"Swiss language is a bit difficult to read"...uhm, you do realize that 1) there is no such thing as "Swiss language" and 2) if you're in Zurich, things are just written in German?? Like the same German you saw in Germany? We just speak differently than in Germany?? Sorry but that just made me laugh...
same meaning like you
I wanted to write the same... There are only dialects spoken but there is no Swiss language on any signs or newspapers in Switzerland... Please first inform you about a country before traveling... -
Alissa Ditten i live in zurich.
Its all writen in german , because switzerland doesnt have orthogravi . Sry i dont know how to write this.
Alissa Ditten and it has swiss language .
Hello ,how are you?
Hoi,wie gahts dir ?
there is swiss german! and as a fact it's called allemannic. there's even a own wikipedia written in allemannic (even tho it's usually just a spoken language). know your facts!!
Well if you can afford to reside in schweizerhof you shouldnt complain about the prices xD
Switzerland is quite expensive but the paychecks are in line with that, so it's bad for the tourists but it's really convenient for the swiss people when they go abroad.
With immigration and population, the paycheck reality is soon coming. The social impact is too great to sustain such a balance.
Joni Giuro is it about the same as US where they pay min $10/hour? That's min. Avg cost to rent is $1500 Monthly but the lowest in California would be $600 in bad areas. Curious to know
Thanks for the answer pisces person. We don't have a minimum wage by law, but I know a burger king employee (which I guess is one of the lowest) in the worst paying part of the country gets around $18/hour, that would be $2880/month. Rent is pretty much the same, average $1500/month but you can find something for $600 (it's more a question of how many people you live with because the "bad areas" in Switzerland aren't that bad, mostly just ugly). I hope this answers your question. EDIT: I forgot to mention that in Switzerland we usually get paid one extra month on december (it's like we have 13 months in a year), but that usually goes out for taxes which are about one month salary.
Don't forget the chf 600.- of taxes you have to pay and the chf 700.- of health insurance per person. Adding that a dental restoration can cost you chf 50'000.- or more, SWITZERLAND is far from being the paradise it pretends to be.
And they are a lot of racists that are always putting the blame on foreigners although Switzerland always exploits foreigners. Don't forget, foreigners are not welcome in Switzerland. Only their money is!
5:35 ofc switzerland is expensive if you take first class tickets
WE HAVE LAKES, I HOPE U LIKE SUCCESS
Hey.
You were at one of the most expensive street and city of the world. The Mc Donalds and your hotel was at the RailWay-Street. Zurichs Railway-Street ist famous for being the most expensive street of the world. It's expensive! ;D
Greetings from Switzerland
Ayyy Bahnhofstrasse. Greetings from a Genfer!
Ich weiss dass die Bahnhofstrasse heisst, wollte das nur auf Englisch übersetzen haha.
+UniceVlog Ja ich verstehe 😂 Bist du ein Zürcher oder?
Wär me nid so alles findet do hehehe 😏
+maanuli ja do findet me no vil Swisstuber😉
The best thing is how you went looking how expensive Swiss is and you went to the Bahnhofstrasse *facepalm*
Those are hills not mountains
+Gina Boetschi Yep I was thinking... turn right and then you'll see mountains...
I think they thought it was uetliberg
hey that is alps
dont deport me because of this Alps , i mean the comment its yours, GENEVE
I mean swizz people sorry i dont know how to spell schwizee correctly
Swiss dollars, killed me hahaha
Don't complain.
Could be wors if they say Daaaalrs.
i cry
SwissTec i cried tbh
the swizz currency is swizz deer
dang you were in the most expensive city in switzerland and the most expensive hotel as well :S
+kein Name und sie händ im aldi ässe ikauft😂😂🙈
+TristTV isch fürk so
clearly not the most expensive hotel in Zurich
+SirZuri Yeah, I could swear Dolder is much more expensive :'D
IllenbergAir yeah and the Baur au Lac is even more expenisve 😂
Please stop making videos immediately! There's sooooo much good food in the city and you eat at McDonalds! Whyyyyyyyyy?!
We didn't eat there haha. Just thought it would be a good place to compare prices as McDonald's is a cheap eatery and found in almost every country - so easy to compare.
+Catweazle Music Does Switzerland have the same awful immigration problem as California?
Robert Cornelius
Don't know what kind of immigration problems you have ;)
+Catweazle Music They didn't actually eat it, they just went in to compare it to the maccas in Australia
McDonald's is no eatery. It is a piece of modern anti-culture. If you don't want to spend lots of money there is a host of opportunities to get good food for very little dough. Just try the next butcher shop in Germany. Most of them have assorted little meals which are of infinitely better quality than the Mac junk.
Did you really had 1 class tickets for the train in Switzerland? xD
PERRROK that made me really anxious while watching the video
Mixed feelings about this vid - LOL!! Aussies are so cute (I am married to one :D)
Starting off with you shopping in ALDI in Germany, and commenting on how cheap it is - then you travel in 1st class with SBB (Swiss Rail) and stay in the Schweizerhof hotel (most expensive) in Zurich (the "z" is more of a "ts" sound btw - Just like in High German in Germany) where you point to a tiny hill and call it a "mountain" :D :D :D ... and "Swiss dollars"!?!? ROFL!! (Good thing your mate corrected you on that ...) - and finally you end up in McDonalds (*facepalm*) where you conclude that Switzerland is indeed more expensive than Germany - Well done! ;)
Here is the thing - Yes, Switzerland prices for just about everything is more costly than in the Euro countries (and just about anywhere else in the world). Reasons for this vary from product to product, but with food it comes down to a couple things. Firstly it has a lot to do with quality. We Swiss are typically very fond of our locally grown produce, which is grown by our beloved farmers who by and large use the very least possible amount of chemicals to grow their crops and the least possible amount of antibiotics etc.. in rearing their cattle and poultry. Swiss produce quality standards are some of the highest in the world, and most Swiss seem happy to pay for it. GMO's are non-existent on farms as well. Secondly there is the general quality of life in Switzerland which has everything to do with salaries. Swiss prices for people coming from Germany who get a German salary is pretty horrible, but for someone with a Swiss salary it's quite manageable.
So in the case of McDonalds - the reason the food costs what it does is mostly due to the higher quality of ingredients, all or most of which come from local producers, and the healthy salary rates - yes, even for those working at McDonalds.
Glad you guys liked your visit to Switzerland, but really you haven't even seen a percent of what Switzerland has to offer - so hope you come back again and really get around a bit. ;)
And also the fact that there is a huge oligopoly in grocery and supermarkets, you know, migros coop manor denner etc
one thing about your straobery is not organic or easly contaminated by chemicals one day i went to farmers market and guss what i almost dead on the streat and angels wispered their spell and got the fresh breath
Emanuel Adair Boder: for the record The Schweizerhof Hotel is NOT the Most Expensive Hotel in Zürich!! Check your sources!
They may have been provided that room and first class tickets thru sponsorships.
1. class ticket on a train? Who in their right mind does that?
Also, Bern is not the capital city, but the federal city. There is no capital city.
It IS the capital city
No, its the federal city. Switzerland has no capital city.
you can check note 1 and reference 3 here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bern
Bern is the federal and capital city of Switzerland. I live there, so i think you can trust me
No. you're wrong. It is only de facto capital, but not de jure, so not official capital, but handled as if it were.
they won 10000$ for this trip. I guess they have to spend it somewhere.
wow you are perfect for the swiss economy.
I don't understand why there is so much hate around this video. People think that when someone does a mistake or something unusual then they have the pass to mock and completely disrespect the other person. If you guys know so much then try to educate and give respectable advice, not ridiculing and disrespecting them.
Vincent Rodriguez True tho, still they could‘ve informed themselves .-.
Agreed!!!!!!!!!
You said Switzerlnd is expensive but you travel in 1.class in the train.👏Applause👏
MY FATHER CONSULT - EVERY JA-DIE-JA IN GERMANY
Well the ratings indicate Switzerland is the most expensive country in the world... so I guess the answer is already known? Thanks anyway for comparing Zurich (most expensive city of the country) with Germany (high standard but low prices even for Europe) to prove your point :P and yea that piece of bread costing 29 cents was really a good opening for the video... I didn't know we had Swiss dollars though, that's news to me! so I guess I learned something, yippie.
Seriously, this is hilarious how they start the video going grocery shopping in Germany to save some money, but end up traveling by 1st class and staying at a very expensive hotel in one of the most expensive part of the city. And Swiss dollars? Come on!!! hahaha
to say that switzerland is an ecpensive country but to travel in first class😱 i don't understand😂😂
HOW MUCH IT COST FIRST CLASS TRAIN ITS NOT A BIG DEAL ,
Enjoyed the whole video but.... Titling it "Is Switzerland as expensive as they say?" and you settle a final conclusion via McDonalds' in the last few minutes? :P
McDonald's can answer all of life's questions :P
+Flying The Nest hahaha XD Actually I live in switzerland and Yes it's very expensiv here but I grew up like that so everything outside of switzerland is cheep to me
A disappointment.
stuff are probably more we expensive because workers and residents get paid more for example teachers get paid up to 100,000 yearly
+Jose Lozano True!
+Jose Lozano I think its more.
that only happens to very well educated teachers at university. and there are statistics which show that even when the higher salary etc. is included it is still around 20% more expensive than in germany
+silvervixen007 Yes switz is an unjust country, conceited, but awful just a total shithole.
+Gefa Duro what do you have against Switzerland ? I think it's very far from a shithole probably one of the cleanest and safest places I've ever lived ... People can be a bit judgmental but the country itself is very nice.
You need to see the mountains and not just the expensive and monotenous cities.
wo sind die zürcheeer😂💙💙
Daaa😂😂
Da😂😂
hiiiiiiier haha :)
saaaalüüüü
dschwiz isch haut scho rächt dür wedä i Schwizrhof geisch
you have to go to Starbucks to really see how expensive Switzerland is ;)
My God! Of course Switzerland is expensive if you're staying in one of the most expensive hotels in Switzerland. Plus Zürich is the most expensive city in Switzerland and if you make shopping at Bahnhofstrasse it's normal that it isn't cheap it's one of the most expensive shoppingspots in the world!
You're totally right! Zurich is very expensive, but you also can find places where it isn't that expensive...
+Carter - Yeah that's for sure but the spots they showed are part of the most expensive...
OMG if you people know that it's expensive den stay at your home I think that is the best don't disturb people here huh
great video,, what go pro did you use??
It's hilarious how you guys pronounce german words :D
+Frodowarrior but they are sooo hard to pronounce!!
+Flying The Nest its also not the "swiss language", its just german; at least in the section you guys are staying.
FYI WE CALL THEM GER.. MAN---- IN OUR LANGUAGE GENEROUS MAN
The food is form ALDI, but the hotel is one of the most expensive in Zürich =D That's the way you save money ! But I hope you had nice holidays!
jeeeh schwiiiz grüezi mitenang

How much money does it take via train frm Germany to Switzerland?
Try eating at the store restaurants which offer fresh food and often sold by weight. The Main Station(s) have snack and shopping facilities. Bear in mind that Swiss citizens have great purchasing power due to their high wages. For example, starting salaries for graduates are often about USD 90,000.
hauptsach im hintergrund 1818 Werbig xD
Is the ultra fancy 5 bedroom suite in the wealthiest country in Europe expensive ??
Yes...yes it is.
The hotel you stayed in Zurich is very nice! What is the name of it?Thanks,
what camera u used?
Danke
zurich is not the capital city it's Bern
Bibedibibedi Bob she said "Bern is the capital"
@flyingthenest you said the things are expensive but you was in 1.Klass on train?
Girl your hair looks awesome!
lol how much money do you spend on your trip :S .... these hotels..... rich parents? ;)
@@anneofgreengables1619 they started collaborate with different travel companies later when they improved their vlogging skills. I watched their video where they talked about it.
I love you guys! So happy to have discovered you :)
Awwww thank you ❤️❤️
No problem! :)
Angelica Leder I love you 💕
Jess, you have so much energy 4 yrs ago😂 so as Stephen😅 It's amazing to see how you two have matured. You have gotten more organized, relaxed and knowledgeable about vlogging. And that's why more and more people are loving your channel😍 Enjoy your new family and God bless!
But wich way you are travelling when you passed Schaffhausen?
There is a direct line from Munic to Zürich via St. Gallen as well!
Hey you didn't stop at the Leopard Room in downtown Geneva? Great bar! 7th most expensive lounge bar in the world.
jpm0921 take me there! :-)
Ps you sited in the first class and your train ticked was made for 2nd class haha
what kind of job and work and business opportunities for Indian people in Switzerland? can you make a video on it?
Well made video, can you make a video of how to find room in Switzerland?
Hey, wo gids hie susch nu Schwiizer?
Katharinas kat(h)astrophale Welt nirgens
too funny how you spend a fortune on hotels and first class tickets, but buy your food at the cheapest supermarket in Germany....
Where r u guys from
that bread vending machine made me laugh idky
OMG how do you afford to stay in effing
Schwizerhof?! It's like this place were only celebrities and rich ass ppl stay. I have lived in Switzerland for 3 years and I'd rather stay in Movenpick or Novotel if I was staying for only 3 days LOL
Swiss is so expensive, I went there last summer , everything is nice except prices
It's so funny to watch videos like this one when you're swiss ahaha
you tap both of them bruh??
"up on the mountains"
..I am done.
Ochhhh. She didn't say mountains. She said "mantns". Maybe thats mind hills where they come from.
Australia is a very flat country
Yes Schaffhausen is in Switzerland...I live in Zurich! (:
I paid CHF2.60 for a kilo of onions three days ago - around six times more than what I would normally pay. I should have brought onions with me!
Best blooper ever! 😂
+mhossell02 :P
Actually, switzerland doesn't have a capitol. Bern just acts as the capitol
Heather Brunell omg are you serious? bern IS the capitol wth do you even live in switzerland? 🙄
no I'm not from Switzerland. Bern is Switzerland's de facto capital, but that's because there happens to be a lot of federal buildings there. Because it ACTS like the capital, it's considered the capital. However, it's not a capital like there is in other countries, where the capital is set in the constitution. Switzerland law does not mention a capital, and there are federal buildings in other cities. So you can call it a capital because it functions as one, but legally it's not.
He is right bern is actually not the capital
haha guys why you travel in 1. class and stay at schweizerhof? zurich an geneva are the expensiv citys in swiss better come to bern it's more calm and the people are not snooty like in zurich! and zurich is not the capital!!! it's bern
MAY BE THEY HEARD BURN IS UNDERGRASS TEAM AND TH E CORE OF IMMIGRATION PROCESS AND AND THEY R HERE AS A TOURIST WHERE AS ZURICH IS COFFEE AND BUSY AND BUSINESS REGARDLESS , BOB MARLEY ,BABY DONT CRY

+Soul Dream We are from Perth :)
I lived in Finland and currently I am in New Zealand. I did not find lot of difference in the food prices in Switzerland.
Zürich mountains ? XD hahaha

+Katy Smith Also wenns im Schwiizerhof chönd öbernachte und 1. Klass fahre denn verhungerets sicher ned ;)
Is swear so adorable how you pronounce everything🙊😂
It seems to annoy others ... But you can't help it when you have no clue how it's pronounced and want to just have a go at saying it 😝
+Flying The Nest I'd it's so expensive why going on first class train and going to a expensive hotel
hello lesbian
Nice vlog, im planing to go again and hope to have a blast,
I love the view y'all had from your hotel!
Looking at a hill, calling it a mountain. rofl
Anyone who can afford a suite at the Schweizerhof (mitten im Zuerich) isn't likely to be too concerned about prices for anything else. And watching a show as obdurately mindless as 'The Bachelor' - well that's a whole 'nother story. Still think the kids are cute and amiable, flightiness and impertinence aside......so what! They're rich Aussie's on the prowl. Who wouldn't enjoy a night or two in Zurich?
They won 10000$ for a trip. They have to spend it somewhere.
you guys stayed at Bahnhofstrasse that is the most expensive shopping street on earth :)
Thank you for doing this, I really want to visit!
Bern is not the Capital. Swiss doe sent have a Capital City
+Adrien Roduit it is true man.
*****
ja i tschegge o nid ganz, aber d schwiz het ke richtigi houptschtat
+Adrien Roduit Thats not a Joke Ber is where the Parlamant sits. Its in the Swiss Constetution that it is a Fedaration and hase no Capital City. Im from Swiss you troll.

Bern is the capital city but not by law
+Adrien Roduit We are an Confederation, that means the normsl peopled can say what the confederation should do.
We don't have an capital city, bern is our Federal city, that means there are the peoples watching on os from the rütli oath.
I'm sry for my english, helped by Google Translste
fucking Aussies mate :D
You stating that Switzerland is expensive through checking out the mcD prices is nonsense. Yeah the prices may be higher, but the quality is 10x better than in most other countries
The way he pronounced Neuschwanstein 😂
Too bad they're not smart enough to travel to Switzerland when it's at its finest....DUH. There are no leaves on the trees. Hello? Timing is everything in life. It would be like going to the Atlantic Coast in Maine in October....you can, but why in the world would you?DUH.
Saving all the bucks by not flying allows you to stay in great hotels, how many do not get this basic travelling 101.
Lk T Travelling 1. Class on such a distance is almost equal to a price of such aflight
*LMAO* at the line between likes and dislikes
New subscriber, I love traveling through Europe! You guys are awesome to watch!
what happened to you at 12:13 ?
Very cool, your first stop in Switzerland was my town (Schaffhausen :D)
I thought I am dumb until she uttered "swiss language"
😂😂😂😂
haha i live there where she pointed the finger (on top of the "mountain" its a hill) :)
