Hi, I'm Uyen Ninh but please just call me Uyen!
I moved from Vietnam to Germany 3 years ago for studying. I make silly videos about how Germany looks like through the eyes of a Vietnamese student - on my way to be your favourite Ausländer! :D - Komedie
Hehehe I was the customer with the birthday! I recognised you and was hoping you didn't catch it on camera as I was very embarrassed 😂😊. We also saw you the next day at the top of Titlis! Hope you had a wonderful time in Switzerland! 🇨🇭
Happy belated birthday!!!
Happy belated birthday :) what a small world haha
OMG so fun! Happy birthday!
happy belated birthday! hope you enjoyed your day. what a small world. 😂
Small world!
"It will be fun!"
2 seconds later
"It was actually not fun...our train was delayed which is pretty common in Germany"
now you're speaking like a true german.
„The reason we are walking downhill and not taking the train is bc my bf is german and he likes to walk and to risk my life like this“ I feel you girl! Always the same with my husband 🤣
As a Vietnamese it is so funny seeing the common traits we share despite being completely different people 🤣
This video makes me so happy. I am Swiss, but live in the US, and seeing people appreciating my home country it makes me happy.
Why would you change SUI for US
@@Magyar9Andras I was just wondering the same thing.
@@Magyar9Andras Thats my Tought
I love the Swiss. We are thinking of going there for a holiday in July we are from Czech so by car. I am very excited to visit your beautiful country again
Your country and people are so beautiful! I visited Switzerland a few years ago and it was one of the best trips of my life. Everything and everyone there is so lovely, I'd love to go there again🥰💗
Uyen! I absolutely love your long form content. I’ve been a follower of yours since you had a handful of followers on instagram. I’ve been cheering you on for two years now and am so happy to see your channel grow ❤ Congratulations to you and german bf on your engagement and i’m thrilled you had a nice trip. Thanks for your thoughtful and informative narration. I learned a lot about what I will do when I visit. Vielen dank❤
Aww thank you very much for being with me since the beginning 🥺🥺🥺 hope you have a nice day!!
@@uyenninh Of course!! I’m so happy you saw my comment 🥺 One of the first videos I remember of yours was the one where you thought you broke the window while trying to open it. I was new to germany at the time and had the same panic reaction so I found it very relatable and funny! 🥰
You probably already know this by now, but if you need to ever make rice in a pot again, 2:1 ratio of water to rice, bring to a boil, stir once, turn to a (very) low simmer, then let the water cook out without stirring til the water is just gone..use a fork to scrape to the bottom to test....should take 10-20 minutes depending on the type of rice...comes out soft and fluffy every time :) Tomorrow's recipe: how to make risotto :)
Yes! I found it so sweetly funny that an Asian would have problems cooking rice. But when you always live with a rice cooker it‘s just out of your reach. I‘m from Germany and use exactly your method. Works perfectly with all types of rice. 😊
Can you bring the risotto recipe please 💕
This is the method I use as well and it turns out beautifully
totally agree, im Viet and for my first 10 year life when my grandma don't have money to buy a rice cooker, this is exactly what she teach me, only fall a few time but overall its work perfectly !!!
@@roodood Yes! I've been making my rice drier with just barely the right amount of water. The rice comes out chewy but not hard. We mix sticky rice in too sometimes. The 2:1 ratio by volume makes the rice way too wet.
Do you all remember, the grandmoms doing Thai chi in park from a previous video - she is right there, walking at 4:03 😄
Heyyyyy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hehe a good one👍 😃
This is awesome! I brought my Canadian boyfriend to Lucerne with me and we also went hiking on Rigi!
Btw: Raclette is safe to eat as a lactose intolerant person (my bf is as well) since the cheese has aged enough to get rid of almost all lactose :)
I am lactose intolerant and have lactase tablets with me everywhere I go so I don't miss out on yummy foooood! 😋
@@jackiedelvalle oh yes, we do that too! Can recommend as well
Maybe try it at home once to make sure of your reaction? I wouldn't want to be on the street in a ladybug onesie and need to use a restroom urgently!
Dear Uyen, I am also lactose intolerant, but apparently there is no lactose in hard cheese. I love eating Raclette and Gruyere from Switzerland. It is a whole new world to be able to eat them.
True, there is no lactose in hard aged cheese
Me too. You can take lactase pills prior to eating dairy for your intolerance.
Indeed, hard and semi-hard cheeses have less lactose than soft or fresh cheeses. However, the longer a cheese is aged, the less lactose it contains.
Me too. I recently learned Edam is naturally without lactose. But I prefer to stay away from any dairy specially when traveling because you never know. 😬
@@tonicartos For me those pills are useless, they are not always the solution.
As a Swiss who grew up lower middle class, we ate out maybe once or twice a year for special occations and I never learned to ski (as opposed to all my friends, who even now go skiing every winter), because it was too expensive. So yes, good way to save money!
I thought everyone in Switzerland would find the prices affordable. My sister currently lives in Lausanne and I haven't gone to visit because it's expensive there.
same for me, lower middle class and a family of six... yea no going skying would have been crazy expensive lol
@@wingberry123 oh hell no, around 1/8 of the population is having a hard time
@@karinhartmann5101you can go skiing in Slovakia or something. That would be much cheaper.
Schön, dass es dir bei uns gefallen hat, Grüsse aus der Schweiz.
I am Swiss, and I am sooooo happy you liked it here that much!!
Also, you trying to say Rigi made me laugh 😂 my boyfriend is from the Netherlands and even he is struggling to spell some of our words, don't worry 😊 also, you guys had the perfect weather 😮 greetings from Switzerland to you and german fiancée!!
PS: I was at the carneval too! Mabe I saw you and thought " what a cute ladybug!"
Ok, so now you try to say Rozendaal, Nijmegen and Appelscha without any accent…
Wow,you give me new hope😍
I started by watching your shorts, but i think the long form is even better for you. Really lets the charm and humor of you and German Fiance come through.
I think you would be hard-pressed to find a happier ladybug in all of Switzerland🐞
Love your short-form videos but your travelogue is so warm and compelling that it's like being there with you rather than just watching. Never change, your charm is that you are you, with no pretence or tricks just honest and wonderfully funny content with your fiance. Thank you 😊
Three things I've learned after living with a westener better half for a decade:
1. I can live on bread and potatoes when I'm too tired or don't have time to make asian dishes for myself.
2. Walking up and down mountains strengthen my stamina, improve my health and keep my body weight on a good level.
3. When on skis, as long as I don't go fast down a very steep hill, I won't fall very far (definitely not all the way down the mountain). I mean there are snow piles, trees and other things that stop you from rolling.
I am SO happy you are making longer form content! I love the travel content and the cooking content! I feel like I got to go on a mini vacation watching this.
I love your videos!! My daughter was a foreign student in Germany for several years, so we can relate to so many things you experience. But my husband grew up in a warm climate and immigrated to my home state of Michigan, which has very severe winters…so I recognize all the shocks you experience in cold weather, too 😂. You are very wise to already recognize what your body needs to be healthy and function best; it took me way too long. Your English is SO GOOD (how??) that I feel confident you will become fluent in German, too! ❤
I'm Irish, lived 6years in Zurich, miss Switzerland so much, I now live in Germany also. I have done all of this and it's great. Great hiking in Rigi
Hello Uyen, thanks for the video. As a Malaysian who moved to Switzerland few years ago I could relate to your stories. You’re right, it’s wonderful to be able to wake up everyday to the good view (that’s why I’m not ready to go home yet). As for skiing - yes it can be dangerous (I know of many who had accidents) but it’s super fun and rewarding once you know how to do it. I’ve also adapted my diet to be able to go without rice cravings for a week (when travelling). Looking forward to more long form videos from you.
I absolutely loved this video. As you were commentating, you were saying things and asking questions that I also had on my mind. I'm so glad you were able to enjoy Switzerland! One day I hope to visit too. Thank you for your wonderful uploads! :)
Positive vibes, I love the calmness of the filming and editing, it perfectly complements your enthusiasm at being in Switzerland :)
Great video, I like both the long and short format and as a Swiss person, this video was especially enjoyable😊
Lucerne is a good place to visit, because you get a city and access to beautiful mountains. I’m also glad you could enjoy some good weather and clear views of the mountains.
It’s really interesting that you got the impressions that people are friendlier in Switzerland. I think Swiss people are still very reserved when compared to other countries and it is hard to make friends, just like in Germany, but we value a degree of politeness when interacting with strangers. We are less direct than Germans and use more polite speech; I think that’s why our customer service is percived as friendlier.
And yes, Switzerland is more expensive in general, but we also have higher salaries. But eating out is especially expensive, it was wise to buy groceries and cook for yourselfs. This is also a great tip for tourists in general to save a lot of money. In summer, you can buy some good quality groceries and drinks and enjoy them outside in the beautiful landscape.
And Swiss trains are indeed expensive, but they are on time, unlike some others😜
I grew up in the mountains and we went skiing in school a lot. If you stay on the designated slopes and ski reasonably, the risks are the same as with any other sports. But if you ski outside of the slopes, don’t know the terrain and fall of a hidden rock face or get buried in an avalanche you have a high chance of dying.
The molten cheese on bread you showed at 11:45 is actually called Chääsbrätel and it’s popular in the Bernese Mountains where I grew up. If you put molten cheese on potatoes, then it’s called Raclette, which is a more widespread dish and even known in Germany. I always enjoy a Chääsbrätel at our local festival in winter.
Finally, I prefer a warm and savoury breakfast as well. I usually eat rice, tofu, and vegetables before work.
Keep up the good work.
For stove top rice. Do one part rice with one and a half part water (example: 1 cup rice with 1 and a half cup water), put on stove and bring to boil, as soon as it starts boiling turn down the heat to a simmer and put lid on and leave it for 10 minutes, don’t touch the lid. Then take it off heat and leave it to sit for another 10 minutes (don’t touch lid until after 10 minutes) 💕
Kind of surprised you didn’t find a way to bring the rice cooker with you! 😂 11:36 this is awesome to see! As someone who grew up in New Orleans, I thoroughly appreciate a good carnival! 15:17 third and final edit (I tend to type as I watch) I just wanted to say that I’ve been watching CZcams videos literally since CZcams first launched and from the start, your channel, especially with the multilingual aspect, has been one of the highest quality start-up channels that I have ever seen. I remain highly impressed by your content and the quality of it and look forward to what’s to come!
I visited Lucerne over 30 years ago and your video was like walking down memory lane. Switzerland is absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for sharing your travels.
Swiss here, thank you for visiting our Fasnacht carnival. The music there is really the best part about it^^
I‘m glad you liked the mountains and the view from Luzern. It is really a nice part of our country.
Hi I am following you from Switzerland, welcome. As a Malagasy (with more traditional culture) living here, your experience in Germany is relatable, and so funny 😊
I love both your long and short videos, you and german fiance have a natural instinct for making things interesting and enjoyable ♥️
Hi Uyen! I love watching your long-form videos. When I stumbled across your shorts, I was surprised by how many similarities our relationship has. My boyfriend is Canadian and I am Bengali so I could really relate to the stuff you shared about cultural differences while living together. It really opened my eyes seeing your relationship with your German boyfriend. You're also such a free spirit and I really wanna be like you!! Thank you for uploading these videos and sharing different cultures with us. Much love!
7:47 Homie sprinting for his life to catch the next train. I'm dying because that's sooo me.😭
These pics give me so much joy and hope😍😍
I always love your long form videos💛! Don’t feel pressure to “make them better”, it’s always a joy to see your adventures through your perspective, humor and relatability! Thanks for sharing🍀👋
Funny story, raclette does not contain any lactose. So feel free to try it next time :-) Same with fondue by the way.
Such a beautiful country. I’m Australian and I must confess to some misconceptions about Switzerland. I think most Aussie’s assume it snows all over the country and the Swiss ski everywhere in Winter. Thank you for sharing your travels with us, it’s a real eye opener.
soooo nice that you came to visit us. and yes, i was born in switzerland and it always overwhelms me how beautiful my country is. im at the time 47jears old 😂♥️
Omg your so pretty
I just love your personality and the way it shines through in your shorts and longer videos as well!
Your videos bring me joy! You seem so authentic, and just wholesomely yourself. It's the kind of energy I hope to achieve one day. Thank you for making content!
I truly enjoy all your content, long or short. You have a delightful personality and perspective and sense of humor! Keep being you!
Your videos are amazing! I’m from Spain and it is really interesting for someone like me, with european traditions, to see yours, adapted in our culture. Also, your way of narrate and film the videos is captivating… I wish you good luck with all of your projects!
Yay, I am glad you are making long-form content! You are a good storyteller. I hope you and your significant other enjoyed your trip and many more!
I love your videos just the way they are - authentic!! You and your fiance seem like just normal people with big hearts and I'm really enjoying watching your adventures. Love from Australia! Come here sometime - you'll love it!
Your videos make me want to live in Europe for a year so I can visit all these incredible places! That looks like such a fun trip - you guys are so cute. Thank you for sharing your Swiss adventure!
You need more than a year! 😅
I watch every single one of your videos from my home in the Faroe Islands. I moved here 3 years ago. I feel a lot better about my own struggles adapting to a new country from seeing you struggle too. Thank you for brightening my days. xxx
@Dr. Christopher Johnson no.
I love both your short and lengthy videos. Your short videos make me laugh and smile, and I find your long ones very relaxing. I appreciate your content and how genuine you are. Thank you for the positive content! :3
Every minute of your video is a bliss, so thank you for the long videos. I'm actually going for one day trip in Luzern this week and it's informative as well, along with being entertaining and warmly cheerful. Thank you !
I am Swiss and I am very happy you enjoyed my country! :D I am not from this part of Switzerland, but it looks beautiful and makes me want to tour my country! I hope you had a wonderful vacation!
I love your energy.❤️ The views of the mountains were soooo beautiful 😍. Thank you for sharing💕❤️
Thank you for watching 🥰🥰🥰
i love your longer videos because i binge-watch your shorts for over an hour, lol, you have a very nice personality and you make me smile! beautiful video!
So easy to cook rice in a pot - you just need twice as much water as rice, add some salt and bring it to a boil and then turn down very low til all the water has been absorbed (usually @10 minutes - with lid on). Also NO stirring while it's cooking or the rice will stay hard!
I love this video! It's so simple but interesting. The way you narrated the video, it's like talking to a friend hahaha. I really think you have the talent for this, Uyen! I also enjoy your shorts, they're very entertaining❤
I really loved this vacation vlog, i like how you enjoy your vacations without pressuring you to try everything, you are really true to yourself and discover the city in your own way
I so enjoy your videos. Your sense of humor really shines through in the short form. Your longer videos are fun, but also informative. Thank you!
I really love the long form videos! Your insights are interesting and it makes me happy to watch, as you have such a happy outlook on life. ❤
Love your videos Uyen! 🎉 So happy to see you doing more long videos, hope your hard work is paying off. You are always funny and so kind, it’s really nice to see 😊
I loved this video! I also love your short funny videos too! I’m so happy to see you grow and expand your video life! Your videos always make me smile and they pick me up when I feel down! Thank you!
I love all your content. Your Shorts, your long videos are just wonderful. It's the first thing I click on every day! I love your exuberant energy and totally natural personality. How nice to hear and watch you and your fiancée vlogging and enjoying your vacation and each other. May all your travels be amazing and full of good food, good people, and wonderful experiences! Thank you for sharing your life and experiences and humor with us each and every day!! ❤️
I loved your tour. You explain very well what we are seeing and also you fill the video with your joyful personality! Thank you!
I really love the style of your videos. They're sweet & refreshing to watch aa you discover new things and experiences during your time in Germany & Europe. Your boyfriend is talented with the camera as well. Kudos to you both!
I really enjoy how authentic you are
I absolutely love this video and all the longer ones you've been making. I've been following for a long time already, watching the short ones, but recently I started to keep up with rhe longer videos too! You are charismatic, genuine and fun, and the video just feels like what a normal person like a friend of mine would be doing.
Admittedly I dislike the new yt vibe where people have to be so fake and so loud about everything to be viral.
So i am relieved to find channels like yours ❤
I live in Küssnacht am Rigi, so I wake up with the mountains and the lake view everyday. I take pictures almost everyday as I still don't take it for granted how beautiful it is.
@@--Mrs_Uyen_Ninh-- Oh my god! I can't believe it #NO
Your videos are great, love the humility of your takes and your experiences
I just loooooooooooooove your videos . Every time I see you i have a big wide smile on my face. You go girl. Lots of love and yes thanks for virtually showing us Switzerland
Thank you! I enjoy your longer content and insightful observations and humor. Keep up the good work!
I'm also from lucerne and I hoped you liked our city and the Rigi😂It was really funny to see you walking to places where I walk through every day. You did the typical tourist tour! Our carneval is huge, and I've seen a few of the musicbands, which you showed
What are some of your favourite places there, as a local? :)
As a swiss, i love to see that video. Hope you come back one day. There are so many nice places in Switzerland. I live in the east and i love it.
You're awesome🎉. Thank you for brightening our lives by sharing yours with us ❤
i really loved this video, so calming to watch and it always makes me happy to watch your videos (long & short) 😊
I enjoy your videos, both short and long. You have a great sense of humor! Switzerland is so beautiful. I was there once years ago, in Interlochen and Grindelwald. Beautiful. Thank you! Danke!❤
Love this video. Switzerland sure is beautiful. Glad you and your fiancé enjoyed those amazing views of the mountains.
Thanks for sharing this with us. You've managed to capture the beauty of Switzerland! 😍 I'm VERY envious of you and your boyfriend. That carnival looked to be so much fun.
I love your long-form videos (and the short ones too!). They brighten my day!
You're the best! Great video, thank you for sharing Switzerland with us
Thanks for sharing your trip with us! I have never been to Switzerland and now think it might be fun to see!
such a sweet video, i loved every bit of it!! it's so nice to watch longer videos from you, please keep going, you're doing great!!!
Thank you so much for this vid! I’m from South America, and I also live in Germany. Even though I love Germany, sometimes it’s really damn hard. I fell so relatable watching your content
It was really nice seeing you explore my country !The sad part is that it is a very warm winter this year, so the snow you saw on top of the mountains was really thin compared to the usual 😢
Thank you so much for making this video of your adventures. I don’t think I will get the chance to go where you have been so it’s made it even more special. I really enjoy your videos. 💖
Aww this makes me so happy, your videos always bring me joy and now my country brought you joy❤
Uyen, what a beautiful video about your experiences on Switzerland! Super interesting, cool things to see, snd some historical highlights! ❤
Thanks for the upload, I love your longer videos! ❤
Love your shorts and YT vids. This was such a great vid. I took notes, as I'd love to visit the same places in Switzerland; they looked gorgeous.
I lived in Vietnam for two years in the Mekong Delta and this channel makes me very happy and nostalgic
This is probably one of my favourite videos of Uyen. I hope you make more videos like this in the future! ❤❤
This type of content is amazing Uyen 👍🏻
I love Switzerland❤ I’ve been to Luzern once and it’s absolutely stunning!! I think🇨🇭is one of the most beautiful countries in the world!! and I love your content 💕 Please make more long videos!! I’m Asian too and i’m very interested in german culture🥰 I wish I could travel to Germany soon!! xoxo

I recently discovered your channel and enjoy your long form content as well the shorts. Keep making videos, Uyen. 💜
This video made my week! I love watching your longer videos x
I would love to see more videos of your travels around Europe. You have a very cheerful and positive attitude.
This was so beautiful, I enjoyed every minute 🥰🥰🥰, thank you!
Keep making the long version. It is interesting to watch. You and your German fiance have a natural skill in making interesting video.
Oh wow it is very surreal seeing you in my hometown, and especially knowing to have been in the same place at the same time! Really glad you enjoyed it 🤗
That video was so beautiful and so calming🍵 thank you Uyen!
