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
00:00 Intro
02:02 Vegetable & Fruit section
02:47 Baking section
03:16 Wine & beverage section
05:37 Chip & sweet section
07:11 Chocolate section
08:08 Haribo section
09:54 Asian section
10:34 Meat section
11:14 Tea section - Komedie
"Milka is not cheap, just cheaper than Lindt" haha your German boyfriend making you issue an apology is so funny, because that was exactly my thoughts while watching😂
At least it's cheap by quality. Milka is really overpriced, it has way too much sugar, uses artificial flavors, whey, ... it's basically the Hershey's of Germany, it's industrial crap
He was so offended about that 😭😭
I was about to protest, too 😄
The ambiguity of the word cheap (inexpensive vs shabby) is much more pronounced in English than it is in German.
@@uyenninhAs he should ! 😂
And yet Lindt is cheaper in Germany than in Switzerland 😂
Can you take us on a tour to an asian supermarket in Germany and show us which ingredients you use and can recommend? It's pretty overwhelming for me as a German gal to know which products are good and what to do with them!
yesss please!!!
That is a great idea
I was in one, it was a whole experience
Oh yes, same! I usually go there for one thing, get lost in all the interesting stuff for an hour, get overwhelmed and then often leave without buying anything. And then I see an Asian recipe and it all starts over.. 😂
Yes yes please
“I was suffering a lot until I find an Asian supermarket and Vietnamese farmer over here, but that’s another story” - yes please tell us the story! 😁
YES!! Please introduce us to your Vietnamese farmer!!!
Yes! Part 2!! I love watching your videos when I’m having a lot of anxiety. Something about your happiness, calmness, and silliness just rubs off on me Uyen. Thank you for your videos!
So do I!! you’re not alone
I'd love a part 2 because you didn't even talk about the bread and cheese yet! 😊 Also, I'm curious if they have readymade foods in a deli section or something.
Romans 10:9-11 KJV 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ❤❤❤
@@misses1768 I'm sorry, you must be lost. This is a GERMAN GROCERY STORE VIDEO
@@misses1768 these spam comments are so unnecessary and disrespectful. Go away.
You can find readymade food such as wraps and sandwiches within German supermarkets, albeit the selection is definitely a lot smaller than what I've seen in other countries. Some of the Rewe supermarkets have a fresh sushi counter and there are of course deli counters with meat, fish and cheese etc. but if you're after a freshly-made sandwich, your best bet is going to be an actual bakery.
@@hollievmilton Are they inexpensive? In the States, sometimes when we are on vacation in another part of the country we might stop at a grocery store because they have delicious, affordable and healthy sandwiches, salads and heat and eat meals. Thanks for your response!
As a German expatriate living in the U.S., let me say if you think German chocolate is too sweet, American chocolate is going to make your eyes water.
The land of high fructose corn syrup 😅
Agree.
as an american, i can agree.
OMG YES.
If you hate it so much, can i kindly suggest going home? Not trying to be rude but you seem to not enjoy germany so maybe just leave... i would
I love how respectful you are to the people around you when you film. Most influencers would not walk to a less crowded area to film but instead just bother everyone around them to make their content. You went to the socks to talk about the fruits and vegetables 😄
As a German living abroad I loved watching your video even though it made me cry because you reminded me of all the wonderful (cheap, badass good) products they have in Germany, I miss Haribo sooo much! Btw. If you think German sweets are sweet, come to Ireland and find out that sweets can be even sweeter (toothache for months) and Irish chocolate tastes like tree bark ;) I will cry myself to sleep tonight watching more of your videos and eating tree bark ;) More please!
LOL
How is Ireland treating you? Do you miss Germany or think of ever coming back?
Greetings from Berlin by someone who lived in a few places abroad before finding my way back
LOL tree bark, Yes! Do they do mostly dark chocolate there? I think it tastes that way!
Tree Bark, too funny :)
I live in the USA and the chocolate here is nothing to brag about. Or the sweets in general. Like twizzlers they taste like plastic. I pay for a bar of milka $ 3-4 easy. And we don't want to talk about the wine or beer. When I saw the prices I was extremely jealous. And also the variety of products.
I would love to see a tour in an Asian supermarket where you buy and maybe explain a bit about the ingredients you are usually buying there. I am vegan, so I guess a lot of ingredients won't work for me, but anyways, I really enjoy your videos ☺️
Did you notice the veggie labels on the Haribo? I ate one Haribo burger thing back in the 90s and then haven't had anything since because of the gelatin. Do they make vegan gummies now??
@@Greenteabook Look for the halal versions, they should be vegan.
I second this comment! As a Canadian of French-Vietnamese descent I'd love to explore more Vietnamese culture. Being vegan I'd love to know more about Viet ingredients and which are vegan friendly.
@@Greenteabook
Yeah, there are quite a few vegan versions of popular sweets now. Both from Haribo and other brands.
Great idea!!!
Uyen is not just fascinated with German supermarkets. She is passionate about it. I definetely want a part 2!
Yes to part 2! 👍
We definitely need a part two!!
Uyen, if you want other parts of animals, especially those not sold in supermarkets (like bone cuts, etc.) go see a local butcher and ask them if they could sell you some (in some places of Germany they even sell those parts in bags as dog food, which is usually bones with scraps of meat on them, which are great as base for broth ;) ). Not all of them do, but it's worth a try :)
When you like the biscott cookies, you need to try the "Gewürzspekulatius" from the Christmas cookie section. Not the butter Spekulatius, which has a very light brown tone, the a bit darker one (sometimes with almonds at the backside). They taste quite similar to Biscott
Uyen, if you look for other parts of meat that are "unusual" in Germany, go directly to the butcher! At the "Metzger" they will usually have that stuff, and it's often rather cheap cause it's not so much used here! Try that rather than at the supermarket!
Came here to say the same. Stuff like kidneys, liver, brain or intestines is usually not sold in supermarkets. But any good butcher (Metzger, Fleischer...) will sell you at least liver.
And if you preorder, you can get almost any part you wish for. Especially if you find a butcher, who slaughters in house (as most smaller butchers buy their meats from the slaughter house - but they can still fulfill your preorders most of the time).
You can find them also in turkish supermarkets at the butchers section.
Romans 10:9-11 KJV 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ❤❤❤❤
@@misses1768Me 23 09 20: Thou shall not post religius bullshit on CZcams. For noone will give a damn.
Same counts for veg. Don't go to the supermarket, try your weekly market.
We definitely need a part 2 :)
Yesss and special Christmas too !
Romans 10:9-11 KJV 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ❤❤❤
Part 2: bread, pastry, cold cuts...
Please 😂😂😂😂😂
Fr
Definitely
I’m happy that Uyen is showing us more about the culinary side of Germany! I still want a Vietnamese cooking tutorial series.
This is so cute and fun!! I love getting a peek at mundane things like this from other cultures, please make a part 2 if you still like the idea!
As a german living abroad I really enjoy seeing german supermarkets and german food again. I especially miss the bread --- of course! Please give us part 2 of this series, Uyen! Great upload as usual.
Romans 10:9-11 KJV 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ❤❤❤
Yes I’m stuck 9nAmerica and no real bread it’s awful
Da hilft nur eins; selber backen. 😊
@@user-qo8lc6fw9c Oder man hat Glück und findet einen deutschen Supermarkt! Ich habe eins nördlich von Boston gefunden.
I am German and exactly know how German supermarkets look like, but please make another video 😀 Its funny to see a foreign perspective on all the items there 😀 What about a video about the best and worst products you can buy there?
I do want part 2! I love learning about other country's grocery stores. Going to grocery stores is my husband and I's hobby.
Yes please Part 2!!!
I love your long-form content!
I really loved your tip about the Haribo boxes, such a great idea to organize especially when new to a place❤
You rock!
Thank you for sharing your life with the world.
Important to everyone who wants to buy Federweißer/Federmost/New wine: only transport the bottles standing upright. They will leak if you lie them down because they're not fully closed. It's still fermenting while already being sold, that's why you should drink it fast.
Also, do not close the bottles, the caps might not hold the pressure and will explode.
Or drink it slow and let it continue to ferment :D
POV: you are german but you still need the ultimate german shopping guide
I loved this... Part 2 yes please! Thank you for sharing ❤
Please make a part 2! Also please make vietnamese supermarket and asian supermarket tours aswell please! And a tour of what you think is basic staples that one always should have at home. Thank you for all your great videos you are sharing with us!🙂
"I shouldnt sound so mean to the chicken" how sweet of you to respect innocent chicken that did nothing wrong
Part two please! And a tour of a Vietnamese market & favourite Vietnamese ingredients. Love your videos!
Definitely need that. I as a German always look totally lost in an Asian supermarket but I love them. And some ingredients are nowhere else to be found.
That's part 3. We're not done with the German supermarket yet. German boyfriend will never forgive her if she doesn't show the bread section 😂
I am looking forward to your part 2 video. Keep it up. 👏👏👏
OMG absolutely make a part 2!! this was so awesome to see you telling us about things, i love learning about other cultures so much and seeing the differences between that and america. it would also be cool if you did an asian supermarket walk around video too!!
you're a true German when you said you wanted something not too sugary, considering their ultimate compliment is that "its not too sweet"😂
It's not just germans saying so.
It's not a German thing. Vietnamese said the same though.
That's the ultimate Asian compliment too
So too sugary or sweet is only a good thing on this side of the pond... Got it 😂
My mom says that too since she was born in Asia
Yes for part two please. I always visit supermarkets travelling - it's a great sneak peek into the real culture. Ireland is similar to Germany with teas, chocolate, trolleys and bags, but the same alcohol here cost 3 to 4 times the amount in Germany. When I travelled around Germany, I found an unfortunate reliance on processed red meats, cheese and bread.
Why is our reliance on bread unfortunate?
I love even seeing the differences across the US. This channel fascinates me, Americans always consider ourselves "children of England," but culturally, in the middle class midwest,, the US is soooo German.
@@montananerd8244,we have a lot of German immigrants here. Swedish as well. Lots of farmers who settled here. I think the Irish and Italian stayed in the cities for work...
@@MsBuchnerd, I'd be lost without bread! Other cultures have tortillas, rice, beans, pita.. it's just depends on where you come from. My German grandmother would visit every weekend and we would have fresh bread or rolls and coffee in the afternoon.. ugh! Sooo good! Love my sandwiches too!
Yes part 2 please. I don't know why I find your videos very comfortable to watch. It feels like a warm fuzzy blanket at the end of the day.
HAHA I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!! It’s so light hearted, honest and you’re so humble!! ❤❤❤
I too am fascinated by German supermarkets. Not just German, any supermarket in a foreign country fascinates me. This video was very interesting and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.❤
On behalf of German- boyfriend and myself, your apology regarding Milka has been accepted.
Please make part 2. I love thé longer form vidéos. Especially your haribo hack. Supermarkets all over will start wondering why all the haribo packets are spilling off shelves, boxless 😂
Your videos are so cozy, please make a part 2!! 🫶
I really love watching your videos! They bring me so much comfort
Can we do a video where you take us on a shopping and buy what you normally buy? I would love to see your haul. Also… can we have a tour of the Asian supermarket? I love seeing life through your eyes. This was a fun video 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Yes please, that'd be really informative!
I come from Czech Republic and spent 12 years in Germany. I always say that Germany has the best supermarkets. Compared to Czech Republic (and most other countries I've ever been to), German supermarkets have MUCH wider variety of products, these products are cheaper, there are more discounts and the quality of the groceries/the products is sooo much better. I always loved going grocery shopping in Germany and then when I came back to Czech Republic grocery shopping was always such a frustration. While in Germany, I would send a large box of groceries to my parents in Czech Republic about every 3 to 4 months because it was so much better and cheaper than the crap we have in Czech Republic. Germans have no idea what amazing supermarkets they have...oh and bakeries! Best bakeries in the world.
They also make worse products for ex communist countries but have the same branding
My favourite supermarkets are in the UK. They have amazing food from “all over the world”, as they need to cater to a culturally wider market than in my neck of the woods (Eastern Germany). Here, it can be tricky to get Asian, African or even other European food.
@@napoleonfeanor I swear that the DM "lemon tart" hand cream from Germany and Slovakia have the exact packaging, the only difference is that the one from Slovakia has a afwul smell! I need to go to Germany to check the german product again 😅
I went shopping for groceries with a friend of mine in Prague four years ago and I was pretty disappointed as a Swiss German. The bread variety wasn't that big, but the bread at least tasted decent. But the cheese section disappointed me the most. I had to bother my friend for quite a bit until we bought some actually tasty (and for his nose stinky) cheese and not some tasteless Gouda or unaged Emmentaler.
Romans 10:9-11 KJV 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ❤❤❤
Yes ´, its true Shopping trolleys are really popular in Germany - among grannies 😂
it's so fascinating looking at other countries supermarket layouts. Definitely make a part 2 please.
Biscoff is Belgian, it's a type of cookie called speculaas (a close relative of spekulatius, just with more caramel). Go to a supermarket over there, and, as my German wife says, every snack will be speculaas flavored. 😂😂😂
Edit: their chocolate is also WAY less sweet than German or Swiss chocolate. And they have a German Boyfriend playpen--I mean, they usually have a good beer section!
Ah...Belgian beer!! It's expensive here in Australia, so I'm saving the little bottle of Chimay Bleu in the fridge for the right moment :P
Nooo, it's speculoos. Speculoos just has cinnamon, Spekulatius has different spices. It's called speculoos because it lacks those spices. The Belgians didn't have much of a spice trade, so using a bunch of spices was too expensive.
@@starlinguk My dude, I know which words I read in the supermarket. And, yeah, Belgium as a country had very, very little spice trade before 1830 or so, on account of it not existing. Belgian harbor cities, like Brugge and Antwerp, however, didn't really suffer from a lack of access to spices because of that.
@@WantedVisual The supermarket is wrong. Love from the country of Speculaas (also have a look at the ingredients, for fun).
German here, yes Belgian chocolate is the superior one, even compared to Swiss chocolate. So far the best I've ever had. And you have the best fries, but let's not go there for now😂 Let me just skip your weird beer though 😂
Only Uyen brings us tips like the Haribo boxes. 😄 Can't wait for part 2!
I need a part 2!!! Thank you for the tour!
I would really love another video about German grocery stores. Grocery stores are such a comfort place to me, and I especially love seeing ones from other countries 🤗
A little tip for Federweißer: Leave the last bit with the residual yeast inside the bottle and fill it up with juice again. Then store it in a dark place and it will ferment again and you get even more wine out of one bottle.
Wow, never thought of that!
My Thai mother-in-law was just visiting Germany and brought me back the same reusable bag in your video. I love when she travels because I always get bags from wherever country she's in.
Yes more videos, love your personality an energy!
Part 2 part 2!
I'm not German but I'm from Poland, so there are definitely some brands I recognize. I live in Canada and we only recently got a store that carried Polish foods around here, before I had to hoard whatever I could bring back when I went to visit family
I'd like to see a part 2! I'm Canadian and I like seeing what other countries are like! My parents are immigrants, so it's always exciting whenever we get something from their countries!
Are your parents from different countries? I was just wondering because I am myself living abroad and my boyfriend is also of different nationality, both living in a foreign country lol. So I always tend to think about what our life would look like.
The best part of being in a new country is going grocery shopping. You learn so much about the culture from checking out the grocery store. Love this video!
really glad if you want to share the part 2 or even many part of this german supermarket journey to us. it is so amusing to watch ❤
I love this!! Thank you for sharing ❤❤
We need a part 2. You haven't shown our huge selection of bottled water, you forgot the bread section and the cereals. And what do you think of our super fast cashiers?
actually MezzoMix is CocaCola + Fanta (not Orange Juice) - you can simply mix it by yourself, no clue why they sell it already mixed… 😅
And as a tip: if you have no coins for the Shopping cart, you can use special shopping-cart-coins from plastic/metal/wood that you can buy or get as merchandise gifts from different companies. Often the shops themselves have their own, just ask at the cashier at the cashpoint. You can keep the coin and use it again.
Slightly horrified by the concept of MezzoMix... though in the UK, drinking hot Bovril (beef stock) is a thing. Therefore, can't really judge...
I recently visited Germany and was told to try Spezi/Mezzo Mix and, for fun, German Fanta (as it's different from the US). My German friends get so amused when me and another American kept saying their Fanta was similar to orange juice because mass produced orange juice in the US tastes so bad but that's the closet thing German Fanta tastes like. I did like Spezi/Mezzo Mix though.
@@dawnlizreadsstock is just animal tea😊
@@dawnlizreadsit was a pretty common thing to make in Denmark in the 00's to birthday parties and such. I drank it a lot as a kid but I don't think it tastes great 😅🤣
Please a part two! We love your content and living abroad myself it’s the biggest thing that effects you when you live elsewhere. Also we would love to see Asian supermarket! Thank you for what you do! ❤
Yes please a part two! It was great seeing you.
Biscoff you were holding is Speculoos and it is from Belgium. I was addicted to it when my Belgian bf brought me some for the first time.
Also I am a huge fan of chips and the options I saw in the video didn't seem that appealing to me. Have you tried some French brand chips? They taste sooo good!
Like Brets ?
Tried a dozen of them and I've never been disappointed!
Spekulatius 💕
There's also spread of Speculoos, not in every supermarket, but in many.
and icecream
Biscoff is just the non-Christmas version of Spekulatius.
You should bring us to your Vietnamese market. You can show us the good stuff to buy. 😘
You have an interesting blog and a great storytelling style. Thank you for such video stories, I've been watching your blog for several years and it helped me to adapt here.
I’m here late on a Wednesday and I’m SO relaxed! It’s very cool to see a little glimpse into your life. For a second I was smiling to myself when you where talking about the candies and I totally felt like I was there in the market! And the part about the boxes, I’m like that too. Very much enjoying your content especially because you’re showing such a unique perspective!!! Here’s my vote to do a part two! That was fun! Keep rockin! (Don’t ever feel pressured to release content when we ask or in specific patterns. Always take care of German BF (Fiancé!!!?!?!) and yourself and your friends and your family.) Remember you saying these YT things are spontaneous for you. That’s probably best to continue so you don’t burn out and whatever. Best love and prayers and wishes!
I'd like a part 2, 3 ... Whenever I visit a new location I love seeing what's at the supermarkets!
Definitely a part two please! I spent a year in Heidelberg when I was in college. It was awesome. Wish I could go back.
I'm a native German and I have to say... you're SO RIGHT! 😂 German supermarkets are really interesting and it's even more interesting to see them from the eyes of a foreign person. Yes, please part 2! ☺️
such good wholesome content
ALWAYS a GREAT day when Uyen uploads❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@uyenninhagreed 💯 I love your content! You’re a great human being and a good content creator please keep up on a good work. Best wishes from Ukraine 🇺🇦 💜
I‘m from Germany and i probalby tried less than 5% of all the teas here. But yes, especially german moms and grandmas will always encourage you to eat soup and drink tea if you are sick. And in my opinion, it actually helps a lot: It hydrates you, warms your throat and flushes the mucus away.
Fenchel-Kümmel-Anis Tee is still the worst for me. I only have it at home for guests :P
@@leonik7152 but it smells sooo good!
Yes please, part 2 is interesting to look forward to ❤👍👍👍👍👍❤
Absolutely love your channel!!
We need a part two, please, Uyen! Thank you for making content that cheers me up!
As someone coming from Singapore, the German supermarkets are not too dissimilar to what we have here! I think this video gave us instead a more unique insight into how different the average Vietnamese supermarkets are!! Always thought trolleys that require a deposit were normal! Would love to see a part 2 where you talk about Vietnamese supermarkets :)
As someone else from Singapore.
I wish we had such good bread, cheese and sausages.
I’m from the US and our grocery carts are not chained up and don’t have to pay to use them.
@@katietomlin253instead they have locking wheels to prevent them from leaving the parking lot. But they mostly lock up when you spend too much time in the entryway.
@@katietomlin253only at Aldi's.
@@sarahhengsteler9409Because Aldi is from Germany lel
Yes! A pt. 2 is needed
please do a part2!! this was so much fun to watch🥰 Liebe Grüße :)
I would love a part 2! ❤ I really appreciate your videos and enjoy it a lot! Thank you Uyen!
I love your films. So nice to see other cultures and your daily life. You have a great sense of humour. Thank you.
I'm all for a part 2! I love all your videos. Such a sweet couple ❤
100% you should make another one. Actually you can probably try to make a long series of them. I liked how you analyse and shared ideas.
We agree on many points you shared.
Thank you
That was so much fun. They have SOOOOOOO much inventory in the store - a HUGE Variety. Would love to see part 2 if you're willing. Thank you!
Please do a part 2! I love all your content
Yes, part 2 please! I really enjoy your videos and sense of humour.
Re-watching a bunch of your videos, checked back to see if there was a part 2 but doesn't look like it. Would love to see that, I enjoy your videos and appreciate you so much! ❤
I would love to see a part 2!!!
I'm a new subscriber and you and your BF have a wonderful channel.
I live in America and it's so neat to see the different foods Germany has.
So many look and sound so good 😁
I LOVE your work! so funny and insightful, please keep producing!!
Looking forward to part2!
Part 2 please! I’d love to see a trip to the Asian supermarket too! 💕
I'd love a part 2 because it fascinates me to see the cultural differences! As always, I enjoy your content :)
Yessss, please make a part two❤❤❤
Love your videos. Yes, 2nd visit to the supermarket would be nice
It's so funny to me how you were saying that you were not a fan of Kinder chocolate stuff because you're not used to it when for me, as an Italian living in Asia, is the thing I miss the most from our supermarkets 🥲
In Canada we enjoy Kinder Surprise, which is illegal in the USA!
For a part 2, one thing that differs a lot between northern Europe and Asia is the dairy. Lots of different cheeses, yoghurt, butter and milk. Also, Germany has so good bread and high quality sausages.
Yes, please, part 2. I love supermarkets and visit them any time I travel.
Loved this! It made me want to go back to our local Lidl with new sparkling eyes ✨ thanks for showing us around a German supermarket- you make everything so interesting! I really enjoying hearing about your culture too. Can’t wait for part two 😊🌈☀️💖
This was a wonderful video! I have now lived 1/3 of my life in Asia, a 1/3 of my life in Europe and 1/3 in the US and I love noting the difference in everyday activities.
I am currently in the states and it annoys me when people are so slow checking out, whereas in Europe and Asia, you bring your own bags so while they are scanning your groceries, you’re putting them the into your bags. In the states they just stand and look at their phone. Slow. Annoying.
After living on the West Coast in San Francisco, I got to know our Napa Valley wines and if you think that is a lot of wine choices, you should visit California!
You are right about the sweets. I grew up without cakes and cookies, but we had biscuits and less sugary sweets. And you’re making this video before the holiday season so when the marzipan gets mixed in with everything… Watch out sugar rush!
The trolley system is also better there. Here in the states, we actually have Locking mechanisms that lock the shopping cart when it crosses the parking lot line. Yes, the parking lots. In downtown cities we walk to get our groceries but it is shocking by comparison customers feel the need to drive to get groceries. Of course a major difference is that in Europe and Asia. We shop every day for different items and in the states they drive their big suv to a big store and pile in bags and bags and bags.
One final note, as I spent a great deal of my childhood in India, I was a custom to a phenomenal assortment of teas and Europe does get great teas. Here in US, we actually import PK and Twinnings, but it is harder to find the other brands. Chocolates?? Oh, yes, Milka and Kinder and most others can be found in the US small markets if you know where to look.
Fun trivia… When I was a child, I thought that Haribo was a Japanese brand because it sounds… Japanese. But Haribo is German, and it was named after the Inventure’s three children, using the first two letters of their names! Hence the Japanese sounding German name!?
*_Much love from Seattle, Washington US. You are the best!_* 🎉
It was really interesting to read your comment, thanks for this little tour through your experiences living in different countries!
As usual on the internet, I feel the need to comment to correct something though :D
The name Haribo does indeed have an origin that is based on the founder, but in a different way: It's short for "Hans Riegel Bonn". Hans Riegel is the founder's name and Bonn is the city it originated. I totally understand it is easy to mix stuff like that up, I myself can say I mainly know it because i study in Bonn xD
Greetings fron Germany :)
I just learned today that haribo isn't japanese I also thought it was
Yes to part two. But even better would be if you take us to the Asian supermarket and show us how you make your favourite dishes ❤
Loved it , please make more videos on supermarket. 💗💗💗💗💗
Would love to see a part 2!
You should also do a Haribo taste test and ranking. I love haribo but you can only get a few different kinds in Australia.
I come from India and live in Germany from last 4 years. I can totally relate with you about dissapointment on Chips Variety and No-Liking for Choclates and stuff.
I understand but for us European is good like this
Try I dian shops ,they are a lot in Germany, Belgia, UK
Part 2 Please!! I want to know what you think about the household, and soaps and all the other things! Also, dairy! And you missed the most popular food in Germany that they eat for every single meal.... BREAD ! LOL
The best thing is the Quark 😇
Yes please to a part 2! I love the asides too, like the Haribo box tip.
Yes make more grocery store vids. Make more of everything. I just love watching your vids!!
