"You are not allowed to clean the windows on Sunday's"
I'm German and I never heard about such a rule. 😅
In the country near to Belgium or Luxemburg where I live it is still common. The Kaiserzeit + Traditions is still popular to old peoples. Berlin or any other big cities are too fancy for most people where I live… Eifel rules😜
Neither do I know of such rule -- nor have I ever seen s.o. cleaning windows on sundays
Besides: Don't mow your lawn on sundays!
3:22 it really depends on the industry you work in. Also people need to get out of Munich, probably the most posh city in Germany.
The comments being made are always really stereotypical and/or Munich-specific. I live in the West and have had a LOT of WG parties that went until the morning. No one will call the police if you clean your window on a sunday, what a strange remark lmao, but maybe it has to do with the rather catholic Bavaria? The escalator thing makes a lot of sense and actually the first time I‘ve experienced it was in London where they even have signs saying „please stand on one side and walk on the other“. Would even say it’s europe wide, or even international. Well, and older people collecting bottles is not so funny for them (maybe) having worked their entire life and now they can‘t even live off their „Rente“, especially in a super expensive city like Munich.
All in all, the interviewees often talk very cliché things, making we wonder if they just watched too many „what are germans like??“-videos beforehand. Like we also cross the red lights when kids arent around lol. Sorry for the greek guy for getting liquids thrown at him, not cool!
I am German since day 1. I never heard you are not allowed to clean your home on Sunday. There are some Communities who have specific times for using certain Tools (mowing machine, drilling machines, etc.) but it depends on your town or village. Here in Berlin they even built houses on Sunday with special permits. Nobody cares if you clean your window or use the vacuum.
Am I just tragically uninteresting or completely revolting to stare at? Nobody stares at me in Germany in public transport or anywhere else. I used to get stared at in China and Oman when I lived in those countries. But in Germany, I seem to have become some kind of ghost, or I am just unbearable to look at.
What about allotment gardens (Schebergärten)?
Or the Karneval in Germany, which is quite different from that in Venice or Rio.
I as a German don´t know anybody who you cannot spontaneously ask to do something together. If the other one has no plans, then why not ?
we seem to have very different experiences when it comes to germans an spontaneity 🙂
Min 3:22: It's just not true that the weekend is off for everybody! A lot of people work on the weekend, including myself!
However, if you don't have shift on the weekend, you sholdn't.
And there is a maximum of working hours the employer has to enforce, or they would be liable
Interesting how all the other countries find the same strange things in Germany....There must be something to this
As an Englishman, we are very similar to the Germans, but the Germans are more disciplined to following rules, we Englishmen are stubborn
The reason is basically your youtube name my anglo saxon brother 🇩🇪🏴
A Brit in Germany here. There’s more trust between people here. Less scammers and people ripping you off including banks etc. Tradesmen are never cowboys. They are not perfect but you can assume they will be honest and do a good job
just came back from Germany and found this time very funny, that they implemented a counting number machine at the Meat desk in the Edeka. 😂😂😂
So everyone has to get a number to know when its his/her term to be served for buying stuff
This red light thing sounds very small town or Southern German. Everyone walks at red lights in my hometown, only when children are around, I tend to avoid it
It used to be like that in Berlin, too. Back in the early 1980s when I arrived elderly women used to grab my sleeve to bodily stop me from crossing the street on a red light, even if there was absolutely no traffic and no children arpound to learn bad habits. Things have changed now.
all of you should come to Berlin. Pretty much anything goes in this city🥰🥰
0:49 0:49 Never! Wherever was that?? Cannot believe this would be acceptable in any of the seven communities in Germany I've lived in.
He disappeared for 5 months and now he's releasing one video after the other
It was a crazy situation, I couldn't do anything about it :)
What happens in Germany, stays in Germany 😂
Keep it up
Thanks 😊🥹
I'm a German living in Greece and here on Rhodes we recycle. It's not obligatory, but there are big, blue bins specifically for recycling material and I know many Greeks here who separate their thrash and recycle. We also recycle electric devices and batteries. There are special bins for them in supermarkets and other shops. Also the municipality is going to start a new program to help households recycle the used frying oil, old garments and wooden items by sending someone to pick it up at your house.
As someone who's from Munich and who's been treated so well here in Greece, I want to apologise to the couple that got attacked. I'm ashamed someone in my hometown did that to you!!! That person was a "Sauhund a greisliga".
The island that you stolen from us.
@@Onur96111 ah yes, of course it was Turks who were mentioned in the Iliad sending ships and men to fight against Troy. It was Turks who built the famous acropolis of Lindos. Kleovoulos of course was a Turk and spoke Turkish and of course Turks taught Julius Caesar rhetorics in Rhodes. Of course Turks built the old town of Rhodes and the island is also called island of the knights, because of those famous Turkish, Roman Catholic knights that today reside in Malta.
Of course the Turks built a temple for Apollon and we all know the famous Colossus of Rhodes was representing a Turkish God with a Turkish name, built by a Turkish artist in a Turkish town.
And then there's the famous Diagoras, a famous Turkish athlete with his Turkish name, participating in the Olympics, that the Turks used to celebrate in the Turkish sanctuary dedicated to the Turkish God Zeus.
Aren't you embarrassed to claim ownership over a place that has been inhabited by Greeks for 3000 years and that has always kept it's Greek identity? Even during the few centuries the Turks had conquered the island the majority of the population was Greek and the dominant culture on the island was Greek.
Turkiye, the thief that is upset, because he couldn't keep everything he stole and some things were returned to the original owners.
@@Onur96111 Are you forgetting about the entire Asia Minor kardaş?? Slow down a little bit, and think slow before you speak fast.
I was going to reply by saying exactly the same, but then I wondered if she meant that in Greece we don't separate the different materials, as we put them in the same blue bin, and then the recycling company separates them.
@@Onur96111 you're funny!
Is the cold in winter typically German? You don't find it anywhere else? 😲
Exactly...and that is why Germany is special (Canadians also have cold winters and are friendly and pleasant
MAHLZEIT!
Is it just me or does Johnny's voice sound different in this video (during the first minute or so)?🤔
Who's Johnny?
This series of videos about asking questions to people is okay i am not saying it's bad.
But still you can diversify ur posts
Why there no Algerians in your videos bro
Hard to find man we had a couple before :)
nice bro but which video please? didn't find any, and yeah Algerians mostly you can find them in France :)) @@yourtruebrit
Perth is the sunniest city in the very sunny country. Hardly anybody smiles here...
Yeah Germany is a bit unusual
As a turk, I was very confused why the thumbnail said "please" in turkish when I saw the video
Lüften is air in window right 😂😂
@@yourtruebritlüften means like the process of let fresh air flow through your room, or in genereal bring fresh air into a room / "change the room's air"
In all your research, have you ever noticed that Bavaria is not Germany? Bavaria is the least German of all federal states.
No,it is Berlin...clearly
Why does the girl from Greece speak English with a German accent? Is this all made up?
Lol, it's actually pretty common if you learn English in another country, or by a non native English speaker.
Ngl bro, I love all your videos but for someone who's lived in Germany for so long, your German sucks alot
