My BIGGEST German CULTURE SHOCK Experience EVER!

- I finally traveled back to Germany and toured through Germany's most Underrated cities thanks to a subscriber that reached out to give me the ultimate experience. As many of you know, most Americans like myself never even attempt to step outside our comfort zone and venture across the world to explore things like this and THAT is what made this trip even BETTER! If this is your first time finding this channel, WELCOME, and if you're a returning viewer WELCOME BACK! I'll be releasing more videos of my experiences traveling through Germany as well as my unorthodox journey trying to learn German.
Today we're gonna check out
As an ex-pat USA, I appreciate your (unusual) interest and curiosity that many Americans don't exhibit. It is great that you've made the effort to learn German - it seems to come naturally to you! It's also great that you've managed to touch base with so many German youth. You are an excellent ambassador for our country!
I find the non-Interest in Germany of ethnic-German America very unusual.

@@germaniatv1870
@@germaniatv1870I am interested!
Why do American immigrants not use the correct word to describe themselves? Why ex-pat? Did you not learn the word immigrant?
@nbube1217 Expatriate (ex-pat) is a real term and correct word and I think it sounds nicer than immigrant. Also your writing came across a bit rude.
🤣🤣🤣 „I‘m old… i‘m 28 years old“. I really laughed a lot. I‘m 64 years old and don‘t feel that old. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks a lot and have great fun here in Germany. 👍🙋♂️
60 ist das neue 40😂
Scheinbar ist 28 das neue 60 😆
@@arnodobler1096 zumindest fühle ich mich so… und dafür bin ich sehr dankbar. 🙏😜
@@judischi also ICH wollte mit 28 die größten Bäume ausreißen … nie kam mir in den Sinn das ich mich alt fühlen würde. 😂
@@knupelhodler4402 I'm 56 and love my experiences🤣
the good and the Bad and the ugly 🤣
James becoming more and more german. He even whispers in the train
And at the Kloster 😄
What I appreciate most is your almost childlike excitement about things most people in germany take for granted. Im sure most people in Wuppertal would be like "eh yea Schwebebahn, big deal" but you have this excitement and show that these things really ARE cool and we can be appreciative of them! Thanks for that.
You want to bike? Okay. You are officially invited to Münster now! The City of Biking!
Sehr gut, dass du Deutschland besuchst. Deutschland ist ein schönes Land. Ich bin dreimal in Deutschland gewesen, es was ein schönes Land. Die Landschaft und Gebäude sind schön und ich war auch überrascht. Die Leute sind sehr freundlich.
Love how you got all quiet when you where at the fountain. So respectful and in awe :D
I moved to Wuppertal in 2006 and it felt just as special for me riding the Schwebebahn for the first time. I bought a ticket just to go to the next station and then walk back to my bike.
Today, it basically feels like taking the bus.
If you like the bike culture, you should try some cities in The Netherlands, we are even more bikefriendly and with a much better bike infrastructure. Take for instance Amsterdam: more bikes than people.
As an german, Den Haag and Leiden are my favorite cities in the netherlands! Den Haag is directly on the sea 🤩
@@Flipp1912for cities with a good biking infrastructure, I would advise Utrecht or Groningen. And for historic beauty I would say Deventer. And Arnhem is beautiful as well, with its parks.
@@woutersplinter4981 Groningen is also nice des! Its only 90km from my city away 👌
@@Flipp1912 Ahh are you from Oldenburg perhaps? I've been there many times to visit friends. Love that city
@@woutersplinter4981 no im from Meppen/Emsland.. 20 km from Emmen (NL)
It was great to see you in the three cities where I worked or lived for several years. But Düsseldorf isn’t underrated. It is the capital city of Nordrhein-Westfalen, very rich, popular and vibrant. Very much cultur, music, art. I’m glad, you liked your journey.
"But Düsseldorf isn’t underrated." - he asked in Köln, so...
@@walkir2662 It is not his fault, you are right. 🤣
Düsseldorf is relatively unknown abroad. Few people would say: Hey, let's take a vacation in Düsseldorf!", so you will find few tourists and not too much touristic infrastructure. It isn't "sensational". That's, what I like.
Awesome that you not only visit tourist spots. Cities like Essen are the real Germany.
Essen was 80% bombed in ww2, no old buildings, it‘s really f*cked up.
What is real Germany for you? You will also find real Germany in Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart or Munich. In Munich, real just looks different than in Berlin. I don't like the term real Germany because it simply doesn't exist, it's just another word for pigeonholing.
Foraging berries from a bush is one of the most usual/natural things most mammals do, but in our modern world we feel like this is something crazy. It really looks like some cities in Germany have litte more integrated nature than some places in the US, but I don't know, I only know part of the German side. Greetings from Düsseldorf.
Alles, was ich in den USA bisher gesehen habe, und das war so einiges, widerlegt das und das hat ganz banale Gründe, nämlich vor allem die, dass die Städte fast alle symmetrisch angelegt sind, mal von ganz alten an der Ostküste abgesehen, aber alles, was erst später angelegt wurde, folgt dem gleichen Schema.
Deswegen gibt es auch nur auf den "Paradestraßen" Bäume und ansonsten nur hier und dort einen "Park", wobei in vielen deutschen Städten die Grünstreifen zwischen den Fahrbahnen schon größer sind. Auch was die privaten Grundstücke angeht, ist der Durchschnitt nicht wirklich grün, sondern öde, teilweise legen sie Kunstrasen aus, weil sie zu faul für die Gartenarbeit sind ....
The castle vibe you got at the ‘Dom’ in Essen most likely came from the parts that used to belong to a sort of monastery (“Stift”), in particular the cloister. Monasteries share with castles that are medieval places where people lived and worked and often had enclosing walls (though by far not all monasteries).
It's also the place Essen was founded.
I love your videos so much. They always made me laugh. You are great, please never give up.☺️❤
Greetings from germany 🇩🇪
Please visit Leipzig and Dresden in near future. Two wonderful cities with much history and great night life 🎉
but dont get out the car in between
true leipzig is the most underrated big city in germany imo. and dresden is beautiful too
@@elias-dn9ym agree, I lived in Leipzig for 6 years. In my opinion the most beautiful city in Germany. West Leipzig is also underrated. Lindenau and Plagwitz are just amazing👌🏻
@@againstmind9057 yes i couldnt agree more! i'm glad to here that from you, since i was born and raised here in the area of plagwitz, schleussig, kleinzschocher. for me it's not comparable to any other german neighboorhood i've been to. but i must admit that there are also ugly parts of the city, for example most of the north-eastern and eastern part of the city or places like Grünau.
i was born in dresden so i really want to see this
Glad you enjoyed my hometown Essen so much. It's funny you thought it was "small" compared to what you felt like in Düsseldorf. When both cities are pretty similar when it comes to size and the amount of people who live there.
Wuppertal is where I went to university and Düsseldorf is where I hang out a lot with friends because I love korean food and that's where the best places are for east asian food in general. So it was really interesting to see it from a perspective of someone who's new to Germany :)
Der Berufsverkehr im Ruhrgebiet ist halt nicht so schön.
I like how much you appreciate things that are very normal for me, but, to be honest, the Cologne Dome hits me every time I’m there, it’s so huge, it’s mindblowing, and they build over 600 years on it. Wuppertal is really one of the underratest city’s in Germany, I like Wuppertal a lot, not only because of the Schwebebahn, there are many beautiful parks around up on the hills, many nice Cafés and many old buildings. But im a little bit sad, that Düsseldorf, my beloved hometown, has only a small part at the end with a walk at the Rhine and on the Tower, there is so much more to see, you have to come a second time to see it all. You missed much, like Kaiserswerth, The Kö, Unterbacher See, Oberkassel, the rest of the Alststadt, Kaiserteich, Grafenberger Wald, Volksgarten and so on. But really nice to see you around here and how much you liked it. Have a good week, Bro. 😊
Your enthusiasm and joy is infectious!
What I always wonder is who else is with you. This time, you had Fabio (?), you had your "tour guide", and who else? Unless they prefer to all stay anonymous and unknown, maybe one day, you should make a bit of a Behind the Scenes?
Maybe i should make a behind of the scened. Im the fabio ( fabian ) that was in every vlog haha
@@Faebske Danke das du Deutschland soo schön gezeigt hast.
@@FaebskeSaying a big YES for a BTS ❤👍👍😉
Yep, a little BTS here and there would be very interesting for me too, if that's OK with those involved.
I got that especially you Fabi (and maybe others as well), have been on board for a long time and are largely to blame for James' enthusiasm for his German experiences 😃👍
Seeing a bit more of you all would be really nice if you're okay with it.
And maybe it'd give people, who wonder why certain places are visited and others not (yet), an idea of what it's like when you're not the typical sightseeing tourist, but just gradually grow more and more into a previously completly unknown country over time in such a natural way by learning about the country, learning the language, making friends with the locals and just participating in whatever they do.
I ❤ seeing my home through Your eyes. Thats amazing 🙏👍😇
Your excitement is really sweet to watch! Thanks for taking us along on the second hand adrenalin 😅
Relax about your age. Just always try to make the best for u of each day. So keep on enjoying.
James you're such a kind and modest person 👍
People in germany say cities in the Ruhrgebiet (Essen, Dortmund, Duisburg) + Wuppertal are ugly and dangerous. Its nice to see americans who love it so much, especially for me, who lives in the Ruhrgebiet (Recklinghausen - beautiful city btw)
Ich war Anfang des Monats zum ersten Mal in Essen, zuvor kannte ich noch Aachen, Köln, Eschweiler, Düren und Duisburg und sorry, für mich als Norddeutscher ist und bleibt der Pott immer noch ein hässliches, dreckiges Etwas.. Aber die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und die Infrastruktur sind next Level, das muss ich zugeben.
@@Cpl._Dwayne_Hicks Just look not only at the industrial places, although some of them also have developed a special charme. The cities in the Ruhrgebiet have become very green. In Essen go to the Gruga park or to the South of the city, walk along the river Ruhr, enjoy the park and the exhibitions in Villa Hügel and so on.
Cities in the Ruhrgebiet aren't uglier than Hamburg or Kiel, although they have less water, because the sea is far.
@@Cpl._Dwayne_Hicksessen ist sehr schön, nur halt nicht im Industriegebiet haha. Aber fast ganz essen ist ziemlich schön
Ever been to Chicago? 😅
@@Cpl._Dwayne_HicksMan nimmt die Umgebung anders wahr, wenn man dort aufwuchs. Im Ruhrgebiet gibt es auch schöne Fleckchen. Das hat halt alles mit der Zeit der Industrialisierung zu tun. Aber einiges hat sich hier schon verändert. Es ist ein Ballungsraum. Es könnten so viele mehr nach Norddeutschland ziehen, damit hier mehr Räume für Grünflächen entstehen können. 😂😂😂
go up north too and check out Oldenburg. KIts a very beautiful but small city close to the norhtern sea. Or visit the Harz mountains, very fairytale like and you can ride a hogwarts-express like historical train up a mountain. I can suggest Wernigerode and Quedlinburg for the Harz Mountains.
Im from Wuppertal and Düsseldorf is my fav city to go to. Seeing you visit both was fun to watch. But i feel like you shouldve shown more footage of Wuppertal since its so beautiful when the suns out and everythings green.
Einmal im Leben durch Wuppertal schweben 🥰
Ja Schwebebahn fahren ist wirklich cool!
Well, for the next time you are in Essen, just drive to Essen - Stoppenberg, Fritz - Schupp - Allee, and visit Zeche Zollverein. It is a coal mine closed in 1983, now on the UNESCO world heritage list. I can still remember when the coal pit's iconic elevator over shaft no. 12 appeared in the intro of the 8 p.m. evening news on one of Germany's two TV channels, back in the late 1970s!
Oh shoot, I almost forgot: this abandoned colliery is part of a sightseeing path called "Route der Industriekultur", which can be explored by bike. This is an enormous assortment of Lost Places, i.e. rusty steel mills, coke plants, coal shafts, and much more. In some way it's Germany's Rust Belt, as well as a showcase of a bygone era.
All the best!
Jo, die Zeche Zollverein gehört auf jeden Fall zu den Orten, die man in Essen besuchen sollte! Aber auch die Villa Hügel und den Baldeneysee und die alten Krupp- Siedlungen bei der Margarethenhöhe & das Luisenviertel. Dort dann zu Eis Casal.
You should visit Hannover,in the town hall is a elevator that doesn't go straight it goes in an angle which is the only elevator in whole germany thats like that and the royal garden is also beautiful
Hi james its great to see you're traveling through the german cities but Germany has sooo many castles you have to visit one one time
germany's most underrated cities are not all within a 100km radius in Nordrhein-Westfalen :P besides... that radius is actually the most lively probably because between dortmund and köln there's a lot of stuff to see.... düsseldorf alone, being the city with one of the most amazing night lives and where there is a little japan district, already is pretty amazing.
if you really want to checkout the chill and rural culture in germany, you need to leave that radius and leave Nordrhein-Westfalen unfortunately and get into more rural places... and visit different states.
You need to see the cities on Christmas time. It begins end of November
If you are fond of bikeriding, go to the Netherlands or to the capital of Denmark, Kopenhagen. They know how to provide bikelanes everywhere, separated from car traffic. Unfortunately, we in Germany are very far behind in this respect.
The elephant on the Schwebebahn was a baby elephant from the circus. It got scared and jumped out of the car into the river Wupper. Luckily, it didn't hurt itself. The Schwebebahn is well over 100 years old and was constructed and test-ridden in Köln-Deutz. It's a unique suspended monorail. The old car the Kaiser (emperor) rode in in October 1900 (!) is still there and used on special occasions.
There are villas everywhere. The company BAYER was founded in Wuppertal (and later extended to Leverkusen and Dormagen), so those industrial tycoons had some great villas built.
Netherlands are crazy good traffic-wise
im so happy to see how far you have come james i think i have watched your videos now since nearly 5 years and its just so crazy to see who you already met and that everything worked like visiting germany :)
The Schwebebahn is a tourist attraction just because of the elephant falling into the Wupper...🤣🤣🤣It became that fast with the waggons...Superbray flying on it...🤣🤣🤣
Hey James if you visit germany again you should visit the sächsische schweiz and dresden its a good mix between nature, modern and old city huge recomandation and nice video :D
Uh Saxon Switzerland, not Saxon sweat.😂😉
@@arnodobler1096what do you mean 😂 no, thank you ❤
@@sirjqmes8709 🤣
Düsseldorf Airport has a Schwebebahn as well if you want to get to the normal trains. And the University in Dortmund has one as well to travel between the main campus and the smaller one. At least they had it while I went there, don't know if it's still there. But it was fun to ride.
Erfurt
Mühlhausen\Thüringen
Eisenach (Wartburg, Drachenschlucht)
Gotha ( Innenstadt, Schloss und Schlossgarten)
Babarossahöhle im Kyffhäuser
Baumkronen Pfad in Hainich
If ya ever come back to Germany I would love to take you on a tour around Bad Nauheim and Friedberg. The cities Elvis Presley was statoned at while he was in the army. Bad Nauheim waswere he lived and Friedberg had his Barracks.
In Essen they could have taken you to the Baldeneysee (you can get there with the S6 train between Düsseldorf and Essen), the station is on a hill and when you get out you immediately see a big nice lake and around it are hills.
Please visit Heidelberg, it is really worth a trip
Your vids are so funny and entertaining. I'm 59 years old, living in Wuppertal and working in Essen. Love your content. Keep it up. 🥰👍
I figure you'd lose it, if they show you one of the nearby river ruhr's reservoir-lakes, ie. Lake Baldeney and Lake Lake Kemnade - on sunny and hot summerdays this can feel almost carribean...- floating on the calm river itself or just chillin' it away on an inflatable mini-island (incl. inflated palm tree): it's an absolutely unexpected paradise - promised ! You'd discover the "Ruhe an der Ruhr" (the calm by he ruhr).... - you seem to me to be a pretty chilled guy, so I'm very sure you''d love that experience - amidst such a crowded and busy region as "The Ruhr".
i never thought i'd see a prominent american youtuber filming in essen^^
Nice to see your visit of my bithtown..Düssedlorf..👍
im kinda sad i didnt had the chance to meet you in person but it is so awesome to how you expirience germany
Southern Germany, my guy - you will love it here! Love from Nuremberg, started watching your videos since I am half American myself and - respectfully - love to see the culture shock ✌🏽
Every American video is about south Germany. In fact Americans don't even know there is something else. Give us a break.
@@connectingthedots100 Imma give you a break to continue being salty about my comment...
@@OliviyaMariagood answer 😉
Und Franken ist nicht Bayern, wie Baden nicht Schwaben ist. 🙋♂️
Moin James! If I remember right, you're coming back to good ol' germany end of November / beginning of December. Well, it's Christmas season then. Make sure to visit the Christmas markets in Dresden (Strietzelmarkt, the oldest!) and Nürnberg (the most known). If you can't make it there, enjoy Hamburg and Northern Germany!
I love it that you loved my City and i´m kinda sad that i didn´t knew that you were visiting.
Greetings from Essen
I know about the Schwebebahn but I was not aware it runs that fast. Looks futuristic. Change city with a spaceship and clothes with space uniform and one can imagine a scene is Star Wars. I like your videos. Authentic and fun to watch. If you like churches, check out cathedral of Limburg an der Lahn. The cathedral was seen on 1000dm bill. But I would take off your head towel. Maybe check out the unionchurch in the town of idstein. Limburg and idstein are small cities compared to cologne or Frankfurt. I recommend one day canoeing on the Lahn river from Wetzlar to Limburg.
The Schwebebahn ca Run 60km per hour.
Big Up and shout out to the cool young German lady who had the good sense to show you some of the beautiful nature spots and take you biking around - that's so "us"; typical modern German culture, the love of nature and beautiful landscapes; spending time/being active outside. Big up to James for your curiosity, excitement and appreciation. 🙂
I can tell you you need to visit Koblenz its such a beautiful city and one of my favourite German Cities
If they're not late (big if) ICs and ICEs tend to be a little early so people can get out and in and find their seats. Sometimes there's a little break scheduled in for staff. The time on the ticket or the time you look up is usually the departure time.
Btw you can find wild blackberries pretty much anywhere in Germany. There's a lot on the different routes I take with my dog too. You have to be in luck to find a sweet one though bc the time frame in which they're good to eat is small. Depending on which kind and how much sunlight they get.
And depending on how busy a location is, you have to get there before others eat them.
You need to come to Bamberg! 🍻
James, that bike is WAY too small for your Bodymeasures!
Sitting in the saddle and to reach the pedals, means that your legs should be nearly completely streched out and almost dont bend at all!
You could pull the seatpost higher, but that would not work, because the post is not long enough.
You need a fitting FrameSize!
*No wonder you did not feel confident on that particular bike, Man!
If You want to enjoy an
"overview of Hamburg",
go to the Petri-Chirch, leave
two Euros and take 444 steps.
There You will see in NNE
Barmbek & the Dulsberg-
Chirch-tower.
I'm glad that You will enjoy
Hamburg.
James, maybe visit the north too, you have always been in NRW which is basically the most overrated part of Germany.
I would suggest visiting the city’s at the North Sea or the Baltic Sea which is very beautiful with the largest island being Rügen in the north east of Germany.
Or visit the Harz which are very beautiful mountains with folklore about witches, you can even ride a old train up the hill or hike up. 😊✌🏻
Absolute! You are totally right!! 😊
I disagree. The most overrated part in Germany is Bavaria ... 😑
If you wanna see cool nature you probably should hike at the drachenschlucht in eisenach :D
Another nice video. I like the whole Germany series. Even if the sound is extremely quiet and the subtitles are missing, the camera takes really good pictures.
Wuppertal, wo die Tram an der Decke fährt.
I told you, Düsseldorf, the longest bar counter in the world. There's always something going on.
And the Europapark is also sick with Rollercoasters and the hole vibe
Oh, i think i saw you on essen trainstation but never thought it would be you 😂
07:45 - The saddle should be adjusted so that the legs are stretched when the pedal is at the bottom point. 😂
Anyway, I'm curious which cities you will still visit. I would recommend, for example, times the tranquil Friedberg (Hess.) and the neighboring Bad Nauheim for a day trip - Friedberg was not destroyed by bombs by fortunate circumstances in the 2nd World War and thus still has large parts of its medieval building fabric and in stark contrast to it a truly gigantic church. Also Elvis (yes, THE Elvis) did his military service there.
If you ever find yourself in the eastern part of the country, I can recommend Dresden, Leipzig, and Görlitz, affectionately known as "Görliwood". "Görliwood" because quite a few Hollywood productions were shot there.
so long Dude - have a pleasant stay! ✌
Have you heard of Bad Nauheim? (it's "Elvis town" and FDR spent time there as a child). It's not very big, but has a beautiful big park, Salines with an Inhalatorium and other things worth seeing.
I’m glad you like my hometown Duesseldorf. “Cologne on steroids” made me laugh 😂. Did you actually notice that the lights on the RhineTower are a clock? The lights flashing in your video are seconds. Minutes and hours are located above. 😊
You need to Go to Freiburg If you wanna See Nature and bikekulture and sick places.
Its very peasfull👌🏼🌳
You bring a good vibe of Germany to the Us☺️
Dresden and bautzen are beautiful Citys i can say that because i live in Dresden(im german) and on the lake elbe there are soo beautiful places😊❤love your Videos sry im not the best in english 😅
.Hey James, what a greate video. By the way: I'm a city planner for plants. And I planning great areas with eatable plants for the kids. So they can eat fresh fruits at the kindergarten, school and playground directly from the plants. We call it the Essbare Stadt (eatable city).It's so important, because many people don't know where their food ik comes from. Hope you understand this dude, cause I seldom write English in Germany. I read and hear it often but don't write it. Greetings from Germany
Come to Paderborn in GER we have a really Big and Wonderful Church here calls Libori
Im originally from Berlin but I lived most of my live in Düsseldorf. Thanks for visiting my city :D
Auch aus Berlin, wohne jetzt in Düsseldorf.Vorher Mönchengladbach, Köln. Aus Benrath bekommt mich keiner weg
It's so weird seeing you in Essen, the city I've been living in for 30 years now lol
Too bad I missed out on meeting you!
Next time in Essen.. James Bray and Freerunningschlappen jumping from the bridge in the river😅
Hey James, if you wanna see a bit more of Wuppertal, hmu! It's my hometown and I love it! ^^
It's wonderful to see how excited you are being here! Thank you!
You should definitely go to Celle. It's the most beautiful german City I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. 😊❤
LOL, that "different church" was the towers holding the "new" cinema. (From the 90s? When did they open the Cinemaxx? No idea... it's not the historic one, I mean)
I can totally understand why she showed you what she did, you visited several cities a day after all, but she didn't show you the real green parts. The Gruga or the Baldeneysee. All of them, even the place you showed, obviously being artificial - what you showed there was built on part of the old Krupp steelworks in the 2000s/2010s - but it's still very green.
I really enjoy your Videos, I life in Paderborn Germany ans it's really Funny to see what you think about Germany.
You must react to German Rap Music and you have to visit more cities here. 🎉🎉🎉
The next time when you will be in cologne (maybe in summer), go to the beach on top of Kaufhof 😊 ..its called "Sonnenscheinetage"...or the beach in Köln-Deutz. In Hürth there is a cool lake with a beach "Otto-Maigler-See"...i go paddle boarding and kajaking there with my own board 😊
When you got off the Schwebebahn it's actually the place the elephant Tuffi fell out. In the blurred out background is a drawn picture of it on the wall of the buildung.
Well, actually the Rheinturm is the more boring thing of Düsseldorf, walking through Volksgarten, visiting the aquatic zoo or the park around it or the artifiacal beach at the Rhein are much more interesting. For people into art, we have a lot of museums and gallaries as well as Kom´ödchen for real Kabarett just like walking the middle of Königsallee to the rebuild area connecting to Hofgarten, all more interesting than a high up restaurant in my oppinion.
Dat Komödchen is Pleite ...! Leider
Rheinturm rotating Restaurant is nothing special. You also find similar in Mannheim, München, Berlin,....🤓And in Stuttgart, but it's not rotating...
The Rheinturm isn’t always that boring 😄. Many years ago (must have been the late 80s) I was up there with friends and on the way down the elevator had a malfunction. It just stopped and the guy who was supposed to push the buttons had no idea what to do. We passengers attented him to the phone (pre mobile phone of course) in the cabin and suggested to call the mechanics. After ca half an hour they brought the second elevator to the same height (more than 100m) and we all had to climb into the second elevator which brought us finally back down. Not boring at all 😜
Yeah, your Essen experience ... that's the great thing about all the cities in the Ruhrgebiet! You have buzzing city life and nature side by side and you only need 20ish minutes to be in the middle of either one :-)
Nice to See you enjoying a ride on the Schwebebahn its normal thing us living in Wuppertal that we often forget how Special it realy is reminds to Take a Look to my home in a different Point of View 😊❤
Tuffi, the elephant, didn't fall where you thought it maybe did, maybe you already found out where tho :D but in the Wupper there is an elephant statue right where it happened. It's between the stations Alter Markt and Adlerbrücke :D
sometimes u need another view...u show me my land sometime in a different view...love that and hope u feel good here
Nice tour! Keep your habbit to be a travel guy and see new places! I visited Bad Homburg near Frankfurt/Main today. Thats an awesome city. Maybe you put Bad Homburg to your mus go places list.
just found your channel, gotta say, you're wholesome af and it makes me appreciate our country more, seeing a foreigner having such a blast~ ^^
Just wait until he sees the alps for the first time in reality
I actually wanted to write the same😂
I love these videos ❤ it's so fun to see how amazed you are, by all these normal things 😊
Düsseldorf is a vibe.
Shit you were in Essen and I did not see you :D
Essen is the best city to live. You got everything, from the best Italian restaurant in NRW to bowling, opera and more. And it is affordable to live because the rents are very low in this city
The last Tower is like the Donauturm. To enjoy the view and eat pricey food up there.
Ah... to bad you didn´t get to see Zollverein While being in Essen... But some background on the Place with the Small lake or Pond: it used to be the Krupp Factory. The one where Weapons and Munitions were build. I think it is nice that now it is a great big Park. But realy Known is Essen for Zollverein because of its 2010 UNESCO World Heritage.
However, It was a great video and nice to see you visiting Essen and some more places in the area.
have a great day. Greetings from Essen Germany.
you need to visit heidelberg and bad wimpfen as well ;) nature and history
edit: also in between of both there are many litte and old castles along the neckar.
OMG YES!!!!!
befor he visit Heidelberg he should visit Ludwigshafen am Rhein. :D
@@Scoti17 the "Neckartal" ist one of the nicest places in Germany i think
@@Scoti17Why, because the culture shock is then greater?😂
@@arnodobler1096 yeah, exacly that.
I was 1959 born in Essen. The church in the middle of the city is verry beautiful.
Lived in Essen, never was there 😅
I'm glad that you liked my home Düsseldorf ... too bad I have not met you ... maybe next time ... are always welcome
You´ve got to check out the christmas/medieval market in Esslingen am Necker. Its really cool, although it can be pretty crowded still cool
You should visit Berlin. The TV Tower "Fernsehturm" is very high (200m). You can go inside on the Top. There is a Restaurant + 1 Level above for just watching. And it moves slowly. So you can sit there and watch over hole Berlin.
Prefer to by online tickets before.
I was born in Essen, but never spent much time there. Only for Christmas markets or visiting relatives. As a child I always said "Wir fahren nach Essen zum essen" and found that hilarious 😅
Süß 😂
Nice to see you in my old "Heimat". I was born there and see now how much has changed.
If you are hyped by the restaurant up in the tower, you should have seen Hamburgs broadcast tower, when it was still open, or you will have to wait, till it reopens. The restaurant up there rotates. You heard right. It rotates very slowly, so you really get so see the whole city, while eating...
Shhhiiiiiaaaat! You were in my hometown and I just found your channel today. Would have loved to meet you and show you around. BTW, love your channel and how curious you are
You need to see the Elbsandsteingebirge in Saxony
