- Living in Germany has it's ups and downs, there are things you learn to hate over time. Here are things to be aware of before moving here. German culture isn't for everyone.
The tax calculation is for real, i was taking the highest possible taxation for the calculation. More than 80% of the money you make is spent somewhere as tax/obligatory insurances in Germany.

*crying in first world* Did you know that the national sport of Germany isn't football? It's complaining.
lol
Table tennis?
Wtf is up your McDonalds guys, I was traveling and wanted something cheap to eat, it was pretty expensive and the place looked like it was just robbed:))
aahh c'est comme en France
I must be a german at heart then, since I'm quite the complainer.
God gave Germans their efficiency, but to balance it out, they also gave them their Bureaucracy.
Bureaucracy is not efficient
"Wir schreiben, wir bleiben!"
Some of us have self reflection beside that discipline and turn it into humorous videos.

I didn't know Kurt Cobain lived in Germany.
Hahahaaaaaaaa
Exactly what I was thinking. Cobain has german ancestry.
His su*cide was really just a ruse. He was sick of numbing the pain with hero*n and relocated to Germany - and felt even more pain.

I've asked cause i want to immigrate to Germany next year for education.
I am just a little scared of immigration but too happy that I am going to experience another culture.
Your country and your culture is really amazing.

Doesn't annoy me coz you're right. Always law and Order..

There are many, you just don't know them
when i see construction in the streets of berlin I’m telling myself “this will stay forever.. accept it” to keep my mind calm
😂 good call
Exactly! Somehow U have to stay calm by all that situations and much more... Love and hate at the same time.
And I thought my Country is worse. How come is it so slow? Is it red tape?!
@@terragaia7092 when the companies get paid by the state the take all the time they need and they can work at several constructions parallel.
Reminds me of Dubai; they’re always working on the streets there, too.
You got confused there. They don't intend to finish the construction. At some point, it just becomes "urban art".
This is hilarious and accurate! I'm from the States but I lived in Germany for several years. I've never been written up, been in trouble with work, or fired...except when I lived in Germany, where I was fired from every job I ever had 😂
You must have been late....
Why were you fired?
Hahaha 😂 That's very funny!!
You lasy?🤣
Well - how could you know all our laws and bylaws by being something like a visitor. The same goes vice versa, too.
In order to play music on the streets in Berlin legally without being harassed by Ordnungsamt, you need at least 12 separate permits, one for each Bezirk/District. Some of them ask an additional permit to place your stuff on the ground (Permit for use of public space, not included in the permit for playing music) and another one to sell CDs - all these processed by separate authorities and exclusively in German. And they won’t allow you to play in the parks, for those you need special permits from the „green area authority“. The maximum fine if you use an amp with no permit is 50000. No joke. Gotta love the bureaucracy (it is the 2nd biggest fetish category in germany, Germans just love fucking with it).
😀
Neukölln be like: hold mein Bier!
@@Bork_In_Volcanic Neükolln was the first Bezirk to actually install a warning sign (at the Turkish Market in Maybach uffer) spelling out the 50K fine. Even though they may be many musicians on the streets of Berlin, they enjoy zero protection and are left at the mercy and the Willkur of Ordnungsamt. In case someone steals your gear or attacks you, you can't report it as you yourself were breaking a law, unfortunately. There is some major change for Alexanderplatz however :)
The bureaucracy gives them kinda Feeling...
I enjoy music and performance on streets. They shouldn't be so strict..
I relate to this so much. Am an Indian but lived in Japan for many years. Most of my career life, I paid 35% income tax. Aside from income tax, I had to pay two compulsory health insurance, pension insurance, pension tax (which was pointless cuz I wasn't even a japanese citizen), unemployment insurance, residential tax (I lived in an extremely tiny 1300$ apartment), vehicle tax (I didn't have a vehicle, but I got taxed cuz I got a japanese driving license), and television payment (I didn't have television, but had to pay it just because there was a television cable socket in my apartment).
With my promotion, I reached the 40% tax bracket. It felt so pointless to even work because more than half of my income was going to the government. I made the decision to go back to India. The income dip was massive, but now I work just 2 hours a day compared to around 17 hours in Japan.I live a happy life in luxury and I have been able to buy 2 houses and 1 office in the last year, which would have been impossible in Japan even though I was in the highest tax bracket there.
What work were you doing there bro
Daaaaaaaaaamn, what year was it when you got out of Japan? Over here in current day CA (USA) its hell on earth with housing shortage

@@sierrahhofzon3878 ngl, that's REALLY good timing there.
I suppose "Not bad" to a German means that it is good. Same in Yorkshire. But in the USA good isn't good enough. It has to be amazing or excellent.
You supposed rightly so. There is even a Swabian saying (which is also true for other regions (Swabians may correct me with the exact transliteration of their spoken dialect, I am from another region in Baden-Württemberg)): "Net g'meckert isch g'nu' g'lobt." It can be translated to: If you don't excessively complain about something it has already been praised enough.
Or awesome or great. Good isn't good enough in the USA.
I feel like “not bad” is better than good on the US. If I asked how I looked and my daughter said “not bad!” I’d be happy. But if she said “good,” I’d be like “What?! What is it? Why do you think I look stupid? Should I change? “
@@lemsip207 Have you been to the US?
The higehst praise a Berliner can give you is: "You can't complain". ;)
From my personal experiance my life in Germany was terrible, starting from how many times l was discriminated, corrected by other ppl when l tried my best to speak german, terrible windy weather, not being able to do the job lm qualified for and if in Germany somebody ever helps you, you can be sure it wont be a local German but also some foreigner
Sorry for your bad experiences…. Am fortunate for my experience is the opposite.
I laughed at the German joke, I don't know if it's good or bad.
Its the joker, not the joke. Being desperate about stupidity is more fun than actually being stupid....
If you ARE German, then it's fine.
I'm german and I laughed at the kangaroo joke... Goddamn 🙂😪
lmao
Same 😂
Heheheh
Omg the no apartment viewing for foreigners is so accurate
You forgot the amazing small talk abilities of german people. It took me a while, as Spanish, that german people having lunch can stay 3-4 min in completely silent and everything it's perfectly fine.
🤣🤣🤣
Yea, that's what amazes me, that some people just wouldn't shut up and are proud of that as if it is some kind of virtue
Absolutely perfect and absolutely correct! Brilliant work, your videos, thanks for sharing them and, untypically German, thanks for not taking yourself too seriously 😁👍
thanks Arsenic! Much appreciated 😄
Silver glitter Birkenstocks, priceless. “F***ing Deutsch Bahn” Great line. Ivan character fantastic. Another puckish 6 minutes of radical living entertainment!!

Dude, the racism for rental houses viewing (and everywhere else) is sooo accurate
Germaaaan man baaaaaaf
German maaaan baaaad
Is it really like that? Germans are pretending how they are not racist and call everyone else racist and then they won't accept brown people to their apartment. 😀
@@MrUzt Very normal response.
I have a Russian friend and could so picture him saying he would find the thief and take more 😂😂
I'm not German but I laughed at all of these. You definitely need more subscribers.
Lol at the seriousness and beurocracy at the building authority. It reminds me of my experience trying to get a visa.
Edit to add crying emojis. 😭😭😭😭
4:50 Well, we have an obligatory _car_ liability insurance in Russia. We also have a health insurance but we don't pay for it.
Cool
The bit where Merkel just says no killed me haha
German here. Since I live in Singapore, I know that bureaucracy can fully replace democracy.
Dude the skit with the “Haftpflichtversicherung” KILLED ME because I’ve had too many conversations around that this year! and the one with the Baugenehmigung I would believe you that you didn’t exaggerate it one but cause it sounds realistic 😂😂
Y i also lost count of those Haftpflichtversicherung- conversations 😅
I finally gave in last month and got mine... after 3 years 😅
Is this joke to German for me to understand, or am I just stupid? 😅
ahmm... what does "haftpflichtsisixjeidjeje" mean? can anybody explain this to me? 😆
@@castro_458 Haftpflichtversicherung = liability insurance. To register a car it is mandatory. More important is the personal liability insurance (Privathaftpflichtversicherung) which will cover you whenever you damage someone's health or property. We even got a separate one for our dog (Hundehaftpflichtversicherung), which had to pay once, when our Rottweiler girl was so happy to see a friend of ours that she sprang up to the open driver-side car window of a brand new car and scratched the paint job when sliding down the car door.
“Hartz 4 und der Tag gehört Dir!” Priceless: I love how the Russian’s ushanka hat looks like a Viking’s hat
Care to explain what does it refere to?
when he said construction will be finished in 2035 I couldn't stop laughing
This video is so spot on, I am a foreigner who has been working and living in Germany for 4 years now and this video highlights most of the things that drive me nuts about this beautiful country. That said, they really are not all too bad at the end of the day. The construction speed though is just ridiculous though.
I'm half Danish, half Spanish, went to a German School... I enjoy your videos so much. You've got talent! Funny and refreshing... every time 😂👍 Thank you!
Lol, whennmu boyfriend drove in Mexico after seeing the crappy wholes on the streets he said he was now thankful for German construction even though it took ages.
Lol, I guess you win some and lose some
I've also had the insurance debate too many times to count lol
Love watching these. Love from Scotland 🏴
Only 15 years building time.

In Sweden you only pay the church tax if you’re a member of the Swedish church. Ever since the year 2000 no one is automatically a member from birth. I left 30 years ago.
@sandra caraveo It used to be the State Church, funded by the government and something everyone was born into. We finally seperated the two and the Church still exists but is its own thing and membership numbers are going down for every new generation. The Church of Sweden is lutheran btw
Automatically from birth... Glad they excluded them out from the law. I live in a diverse religious country so luckily we get to choose what religion we want as of age but just for statistic reports.
@@terragaia7092 Why do you need to choose just for statistical reports? Is atheism not aloud?

As a southwest German citizen I had to smile, some sterotypes are unknown here (despite bureaucracy). I also dig the fact, that the Pils from my region is used for the closing shot. And... the taxes aren't as bad as shown.

Keep it up!
Lmaooo 😂😂😂 I randomly got recommend this video. Great content.
In Romania being late is so normal that an employee can be late every day and it is ok, if they are not late more than 20 minutes usually. So i guess you could say we are in the other extreme, being late is way too normalized here.
We have many Romanian workers here in Czechia, it had to be really hard for them to adapt to working from 6 AM and beying always exactly on time, when you are late, you have to stay longer in work. 🙂
This is absolutely fantastic and soooo funny! Thank you very much :) A great cheering up after I made my tax return hahahahah
You're very welcome! Still have to do mine noooooo i don't want😭
Love your stuff, keep on doing
Thanks, will do!
I don't even know how this channel got recommended to me, but I've been enjoying it
I used to live in Berlin. Germans love paper work and are so organised. They don’t let loose. Even the cool ones still had order and were organised. Even the punks washed their shoes. You could immediately see how hitler was able to brain wash them they love authority and order even the ones who pretend they don’t. They also bump into you in the street and don’t say sorry. Berliners are extremely rude. I made a lot of amazing friends in Berlin but the people and the culture was too much. They are also crap at comedy. Coming from Scotland it was a shock.
There is a reason why so many higher qualified people leave Germany compared to the amount that come.
As a German, may I vindicate for myself about the Hitler thing? I kinda do feel as though Im offended, but I am also thinking about if that may be true. Perhaps for the older generation?
I do have to say however that the love for order and authority begun way before Hitler, in Prussia, a militarist state who was known for its meticulous structure and rules.
Perhaps its engrained in culture much deeper.
I however do not think that thats bad per se?
Educationally/pedagogy wise seen we do our best to raise the new generations with a free thinking mindset. I for myself have to say that my classmates a few years back during my Abitur werent that big on authority. But thats the youth.

Woohoohoho... not so fast.
You need three warnings at least to fire an employee. But also not too many because then he can fight the decision in court.
Also, be prepared to pay compensation that is bound to the time the employee worked for the company.
And if the guys is in a union then good luck getting rid of him.

If you think Germany has it bad with taxes / salaries etc pick a few random EU nations and prepare to be amazed. After looking into my options to move from the UK, Germany got points for exactly that, comparing with Spain and Denmark at least. It’s seriously not that bad. UK was really good once 😒

As a Chinese man I almost chuckled for the move-to-China joke - that's the last thing you wish right now, concerning the fucked-up real estate market and general economy in the country thanks to our Big Brother. But yes - the Chinese construction works were once quick when the economy growth looked good, although now it is already ancient history
You can build it in a week
And it will last for about the same time.

Wow, the level of bureaucracy in Germany is astounding! That, plus the language barrier and their attitudes toward foreigners is horrible. They want to use the skills of foreign workers to benefit their economy for them to compete globally, but at the same time, they make it incredibly difficult for them to build a life there. You are being used during your peak years, with an uncertain future;
I just wish there could be more choices for vegetables in supermarket
