Americans: diet donut 🫠
Germans: sugar bomb 😳
An Americal friend once asked me to watch a webcam from Ocean City, MD. He asked me if i noticed anything....and I hesitated to say: I see a lot of overweight folks slowly moving towards the beach. So I came up with some polite things. And each time he said, "anything else...? Don't be afraid if it's negative..." He meant the obesity. You don't see that many obese people in Germany, so it strikes you instantly. He was relieved I saw it as well.
damn, made the same comment just minutes ago... should have known I´d not be the only one :D
@@AnnaLee33 Literally all my friends here in Austria (especially male friends) are very concerned about their health and fitness. No one is obese. Only the occassional manga guy or gaming guy is fat here, but also not obese. Just tall and a bit overweight. So I agree with you.
Right 🎃😁
Öhm....hahahahaha geil, ist ja mal ehrlich so ^^
That he described a Quarktasche as a diet donut is hilarious to me. How much sugar do you people have in your food over there???
There's FOOD in my sugar?!!!! Horrors! 🤣
It’s not even proper sugar..
It’s corn syrup, which is eben more unhealthy
Probier mal n’en echten butterfinger dann weisst dus
He should have picked a Berliner instead. If he likes Donuts then he's going to love Berliners.
A slice of toast in eu 1g of sugar. In the us 6.
That is more on the extern side but gives you an idea about the dimension
The fact that they demolished Wiener Schnitzels and Yufkas and found it way lighter than american food says a lot about american food
True 😂 That fact that they even said that it doesn’t slow them down as much due to food processing was hilarious. I probably need a 1h nap after eating a Schnitzel with Pommes because it takes so much energy to be processed 😂
Und erst Käsespätzle!
Not even close to real "Wiener Schnitzel" .🤣🤣🤣
Schnitzel is light compared to a lot of foods?
German food is not that healthy. But compared to US food it is healthy af :P
Nothing better than watching newbies visiting Germany. So much fun seeing it from their eyes.
Especially when they are used to US beer and then start drinking German beer. When I was in NATO in Germany, we used to take new arrivals into town for an evening of drinking. Most of them said yeah, I'll drink you under the table. Then they drank German beer for the first time. It was always a great laugh for everybody.
@@Arsenic71 And that was mainstream German beer. I would really like to see an American taste microbrew beer from Denmark. We have this dark ale, with hints of black berries and black licorice. It must be so tastefull, that it burns US tastebuds away. 😉😁
@@brostenen Oh, we have rather strong, dark beers in Germany as well.. Not really my taste, but if you need a hit to the forehead, they´re good for that :)
Ur-Bock comes to mind I guess...
@@RSProduxx As long as it is not stout or porter, then I can drink it. But I prefer dark ale over all other type of beer.
@@brostenen Oh yes, there's so much craft beer out here that's way better than the beer from mainstream brewerys.
Grocery shopping is stressful in Germany. There always is a little competition between you and the cashier, whether she can scan the items quicker than you can put them in your bag. BTW: she won, if she tells you the total before you put everything away.
The trick is to put stuff like cucumbers and apples in between since they have to weigh them first or something made of glass since they are gonna be much more careful with that. Or e.g. egg cartons because they have to look inside to check if you're smuggling something. It forces them to slow down enough for you to have enough time to put your stuff away properly.
Germany has the worst service unfortunately
@@HexenkoeniginVonAngmar Wow, that’s a real pro tip 😅😂
Should be an olympic discipline.🤔🤭🤭
@@juyonglee7426 That's correct. The German workforce is concentrated around the production of high value products for the entire world. The real thing, so to speak. It starts with a three-year apprenticeship in one of about 340 official professional trades, full-time and with written, oral and practical final examinations by the government. There is simply no one left to kowtow to customers at the entrance of a department store, as in Japan, or to put the tomatoes in the brown paper bag at the bottom behind the cash register and the heavy things on top, as in America....
Tell me a lasting impression about Germany.
"Oh, the paper towels in the bathrooms are unbelievably soft"
Let's also hope that their toilet paper isn't made in Texas, in that it actually takes sh*t from people.
Same for us 🇫🇷
laughed so hard at that one
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 - I stopped laughing when he said "I've never felt that material before" after calling them *PAPER* towels.
and yet they arent
Getting a bag before you checkout makes a lot of sense, because you need to pay for the bag, so you are motivated to bring your own, as to reduce waste.
I love how NFL all-pro runningback Christian McCaffrey is introduced as "just a family friend." Looks like it was a great trip. I lived in Germany as a kid and your videos make me "homesick." Definitely plan on visiting in the near future.
Peers visiting each other.
Damn, I did not even realize that this was McCaffrey. That is crazy.
@@dagda3000 It was? , he plays for our Carolina Panthers in NC.
Partially it's certainly Nick being casual but also shows a little that when you have this 'wow travel' experience, don't matter if you're a delli worker, a manager an NFL pro or or just a random family friend you all ebcome this group experiencing this together 😊
Had no clue who he is but instantly noticed how hot he is. 🫠😅
I was glued to that. It is always fascinating to hear Americans reacting to Europe. I have to say I am always struck by how absolutely lovely, funny and intelligent your family and friends are. I hope they enjoyed the rest of their time in Germany.
Maybe you should admire his editing qualities more... he knows how to cut and paste all the good things together.
Excellent work.
Come visiting our country France. Not only our neighbor's Germany
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 while i agree with you, it is a lot to ask to give a bunch of guys a quick tour of the south of bavaria AND also take them to france, all in one week.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Why should one do that?
To visit the completely littered Paris that has 1000 times as many rats as people?
Or Marseilles?
French cities are littered with garbage and the French greatly overestimate themselves and their country.
They just don't get along with the fact that they're only number 3 in Europe after Germany and England.
Visit us in Netherlands instead, you'll get more of it there
LOL if I had seen a bunch of grown-up guys eating hands full of Kinder chocolate at a street corner I would have died of laughter. So happy you guys got to experience BAVARIA. Still a few places to visit in Germany though, before you really know our country. 😀
we don't get many Kinder chocolates here, but more European chocolates at Costco
And they did not choke on the eggs inside! Always be careful with Americans, no cat drying in the microwave...
better to not know the country
@@dutchman7623 Wait, the microwave unlocks special features for my phone AND can dry my cat as well?
I find it funny, because we can get Kinder Buenos at lots of places in the States, including the well-frequented Walmart, and these guys are like "What are THESE?!" 😂
I’m from the US where we have Aldis and I always take my reusable bags so grocery shopping was not as “horrifying” to me the first time in Germany haha
That’s the spirit! 😄
„Family friend Christian“ being Christian McCaffrey is awesome. Love this video.
I seriously loved seeing these guys appreciate Germany so much and expressing it. Their comparisons with US food really made me raise my eyebrows, I will admit. I‘ve lived here for a good while but I‘m falling in love with this country all over again, getting a reminder of how fabulous it is here.
weird
well what i have heard of it us food is literal poison for me as a german.
@@SimonBauer7 yes, I believe our food quality is so much better here. I have heard that Americans who can’t eat wheat in the US can eat it in Germany, for example.
@@LaureninGermany There is a video of a German living in San Diego and he compared flour from different countries and the only one that he had problems digesting etc was American flour. I think the channel is called „Leben USA“ or something similar.
those guys don’t represent the whole US, the U.S. is very diverse by regions, they look like from rural Ohio 😂
"Oh my gawd, 50 cents to use the restroom, that is a rip-off." - "Wow, college just 25,000 per year? What a bargain. And they have a special offer for that life-saving surgery. I think I'll have two then!" Coming from the same people...
Really, guys? Those bathrooms are PRIVATE bathrooms owned by a company that hires staff to keep them clean. Who is supposed to pay for their salary? Compare it to 20 percent (!!!) tip for waiters in the US, and I think we're even.
While paying a small fee for clean toilets is not the worst by itself, Sanifair (the company behind the toilets) truly is akin to a scam, though. They effectively have a monopoly, and the prices in their store are absolutely insane. There's nothing you can buy with a single voucher, and in fact you would probably need 3-4 vouchers to buy the cheapest item they sell.
I wouldn’t mind paying for the Bathroom if,they’er clean,dry,& well,clean & non smelly! Worth it.
That's the point. Building and maintaining these bathrooms needs some money, as well as also keeping them clean needs workers and money. I pay this 50 or 70 cents and - in return - expect the toilets to be kept "in good shape".
These "pay 70¢" toilets are usually found in places like e.g. at train stations and at parking lots along the "Autobahn" freeways.
My family, in Germany for a family reunion and vacation, just left Schwäbisch Hall this morning. Beautiful town! Years ago, while visiting Schwäbisch Hall, I got stuck on the outside of the canvas wall they had erected to limit access to the main square. Must have been a concert or other performance taking place. I climbed under the canvas, trying to get back to our hotel or where my family was dining. I was greeted on the other side by two workers who probably thought I was trying to enter without a ticket. I pointed in the direction of where I needed to go and said the German equivalent of “my mommy and daddy are there.” They laughed hysterically and waved me through. We still laugh about the experience ourselves. My German is better, nur ein bischen, these days. Enjoy watching your uploads. Thank you.
god, i can imagine how that probably came off to those guys xD
And hey, dont talk about germans laughing, we are cold-hearted coconut sheels with no humour! :D
It does not matter to me as a German how good your German is. I am perfectly fine with you trying to use the local language rather than assuming all the locals will use your language.
I know this is a completely random question, but is Aesculus your real last name? I'm just asking because I have a D&D character (4th lvl abjuration mage) named Aescula. Either way, cool name xD
A culture shock for me is that Americans don't pack their own things and don't bring their own bags before check-out lol, it's weird for me, since it also takes up extra time if the cashier does it and it probably isn't organised the way I want it to be.
Many places in the US have legislated that kind of policy, and it has been followed by more progressive people for decades and encouraged by many grocery store chains.
Many grocery stores in the US. have baggers in addition to the cashier for that . It’s an entry-level job that even the most unskilled workers can do , some of them may be immigrants that can’t speak English well .
!Lassen sie mal junger Mann, sie packen mir ja noch die Eier nach unten!"
There will be separate people from the cashiers that we call baggers who do all the bagging for you
@@Mike8827 Thats insane waste of money, paying a whole wage for just packing the bags. It goes almost as fast if you do it urself
“Give a guy a panel of buttons and he will just abuse that power” 🤣🤣🤣
Being German this was VERY enjoyable to watch! As I have been to the US several times I could see why some of the things baffled you guys. Glad you enjoyed my home country. Great vid.
God, they are just ridiculously handsome. That's illegal.
I recently went with my family to Germany for a wedding. It was my 3rd time but my families first and it was so enjoyable. It’s such a clean, friendly, and interesting place. It makes me happy to see others enjoy Germany as much as I do 😁
Clean?
*looks around seeing trashbon the playground the joung mothers didnt threw away and noticed dumbed old furniture and trash bags in protectet nature areas* clean? How bad is it over there
Fact. 4th cleanest country in the World. When I go for a run or walk…I make it a job to try and find 3 pieces of trash on trails…5k to 8 k often. Many times…cannot find 1 piece. But Germans CARE about their lane , so pickup or always pack out to keep it clean.. very proud of our country…so keep it clean
@@craigm.5674 It’s awesome that you do that. You can really tell that people care. Even the lakes. I was in Bavaria and the restrictions to keep the lakes clean was amazing. Where I’m from people just throw cans and bottle in them and it’s oh well 🤷🏼♂️
I’m hoping to move to Germany one day 😊
its neither clean nor intersting
@@Exel3nce 90% of Germany is VERY CLEAN... Voted : 4th most clean Country in the WORLD.... go visit ANYWHERE in USA and see how much trash is on the side of the freeways, at ampel lights.... SAD!
These videos always make me appreciate Germany more.. we really are used to the architecture etc, and many people even find them boring or not as exciting as for a example flashy billboards everywhere
I mean lets be honest, NALF lives in one of the most beautiful areas of Germany.
Come here to Dortmund and not many of these Buildings are left sadly.
I love these kind of architecure alot, i visited Stralsund a couple years ago and had a blast.
@@henriklarssen1331 As someone who's only really been to Dortmund and Berlin, even that I thought was vastly more beautiful than what you generally find in the U.S. I cannot stress enough how uniform and commercialized, and therefore ugly, the U.S. is. It's sickening. Everything outside of the cities and towns in the U.S. is absolutely beautiful though, but anything manmade here is awful.
@@bunnypeople You can find some nice places in both these cities.
Iam also not a huge fan of the huge Us cities like LA or NY.
But i kinda dig the rural areas or smaller towns over there.
@@henriklarssen1331 But you rarely see good genuine local culture, any place of interest has been commercially blown up to massive degree.
Been to the US several times, but even the national parks are commercial business, with all the known food chains, and a Walmart just outside the gate. You really have to go deep into them, and escape mass tourism, to have some enjoyment.
But Americans like it! So it is true America as it is supposed to be. One big Las Vegas Strip...
@@henriklarssen1331 I think it is more about the size of the place. You can not really compare Dortmund and Schwäbisch Hall.
I just saw my house😂
You filmed it from the Eagle‘s Nest
I grew up in and around Schwäbisch Hall but eventually moved due to a job opportunity. Today me and my family were visiting friends there and we went to get some ice cream in the city. I had this random thought of "damn, last time I've seen Schwäbisch Hall was through Nick's videos"... And I kid you not, we turned the corner into Neue Straße when you suddenly walked past us towards the Michelskirche. The odds of that happening... absolutely ridiculous. I tried getting your attention by saying "NALF?" but you were wearing earphones and were too far away by this point.
I then had some explaining to do since my family looked at me funny for saying something "random" to some guy walking down the street lol
Maybe next time I get to say hi! Thank you for your videos.
Komme aus Hall.
I just today made an application for my thesis to a company near to Schwäbisch Hall lol
To clarify: "Wiener Schnitzel" = made out of calf meat; "Schnitzel Wiener Art" = made out of pork meat.
It is not allowed by law to sell "Wiener Schnitzel" if it isn't made out of calf meat :)
"What was the brezel with the butter we had ?" ...dry answer ...Butterbrezel ! ... oh, yeah makes sense... made me laugh for a straight minute.
Keep it up Nalf. I moved to Germany from Texas in 2016, and have lived a very similar (although less football based) experience to you. I have loved showing my friends in Munich the food/cafes/wirtshäuser, and loved how each experience to Edeka or Rewe has been a memorable one. The eggs aren't refrigerated!!! Hope you are doing well and continue to have fun experiences in Germany.
Take them to Aldi or Lidl. Way funnier at the checkout
Fun Fact
"Wiener Schnnitzel" is like a Trademark sort of.
Wiener Schnitzel has to be made out of veal which is like calf meat.
You are not allowed to serve "Wiener Schnitzel" which is made out of pork or etc.
As a restaurant owner your guests could take legal actions against you.
Because of this you will often see "Schnitzel (nach) Wiener Art" .
This term is free of regulations.
At München you have to taste a Münchner Schnitzel. But NOT at the restaurants direct in the city at or near Marienplatz. They sell less quality to highest price. Look more outside the center quarters of München. Maybe you ask a native citisen (if you find one) for some recommendations.
In Austria and Vienna it is pork most of the time and everybody calls it Wiener Schnitzel. If you or someone else allows it or not. If it were illegal the police wouldn't know where to start. There is hardly a restaurant in Vienna, where you get a Wiener Schnitzel from veal, just at the extra expensive ones. Nobody says Wiener Art in Austria. Maybe this is a German thing and a German rule.
@@herb6677 they serve other forms of schnitzel in Austria but if it's a Wiener then it has to be veal, that is a law in Austria "Under Austrian culinary code, the term may only refer to a slice of veal coated in egg, flour and breadcrumbs that’s then fried."
@@Henrik_Holst Höre, ich lebe seit 55 Jahren in Österreich, 35 Jahre davon in Wien, und wenn du hier ein Wiener Schnitzel bestellst, bekommst Du es in 99% vom Schwein. Du müsstest extra dazu sagen, wenn du es vom Kalb willst. Ob das nun Gesetz ist oder nicht, es ist einfach so. In allen Speisekarten steht bei uns "Wiener Schnitzel" und wenn Du Glück hast, wirst Du gefragt, ob Du es lieber vom Huhn statt vom Schwein haben willst.
@@herb6677 Österreicher sind ja auch sozusagen pragmatische Deutsche. Nicht gesetzesverliebte Deutsche die die Deutschen 🙂
As someone from the Netherlands, I am always surprised by "Only Cash" signs in Germany and some other European countries. Here you will never find those signs. The only signs you will find here are with "NO Cash!".
There's a Vietnamese restaurant here in Austria I ate at last week which said "cash only for orders under 10 €" 😂 Luckily I always pay cash.
The pandemic seemed to have an influence here. Now many smaller business, that would only accept cash before, finally invested into a card reader.
Personaly I stopped using cash for grocery shopping about a decade ago. But everything else I still pay in cash.
Cash makes you aware though of the value of products and money...there is a reason why german is quite healthy financially, while the credit card country america many people are constantly in debt...
I know several smaller and even not so small shops or fastfood shops which have such signs. It seems the cost of credit card transactions is much higher here. The card companies don't like it but there were "discounts" if you pay cash because of that.
@@voxdraconia4035 agreed! Credit cards are a great way to get into debt...
9:46 Because thats how you feel upon ingesting a big amount of shortchained carbohydrates ( like sugar), which the food on average doesnt have as much of in germany
its soooo fun to watch someone experience all these things for the first time! as someone who grew up with all of it, i sometimes tend to forget how special our culture is❤
Wollte original das gleiche kommentieren 😅 wir haben es schon schön hier ❤
I just returned to the States from the Kaiserslautern area. I absolutely loved visiting Germany. It is one of the cleanest and prettiest places I have ever seen. The no water thing was an eye opener to me as well. I don't know how the entire country is not dehydrated all the time. LOL. I ordered water in restaurants a couple of times and unless you specifically ask for plain water, you will get mineral water. And paid parking areas are a completely hilarious disaster in Germany.
yeah the no water thing is very strange, I guess you have to buy water bottles
It never occurred to my that public water fountains are a thing at other places 😅 But know that I know that I wish we had more if them. I just became used to carrying a 1l water bottle with me most if the time that I can refill at any tap 😅
@@aramn8151 everyone has water bottles on the car in the US or in their backpack
@@danielzhang1916 exactly nobody really uses waterfountains outside. At the gym, at the office, but i have never used a waterfountain outside in 30 years in the US.
Parking is paid, because we don’t want our city’s crowded with cars… Thats the whole point of it
I think almost all Alfieri family members have now seen Germany. But one is still missing, the most important of all: Papa Alfieri. What has to happen for the man with Italian roots to finally travel to Europe? Could the GermanBowl with 2 Alfieris on the field persuade him to get on a plane to Germany?
What about 2 Alfieris on the Italian national team?
I love how they described everything, even though I've never been to Germany, I could in some way understand their experiences, can't wait to go to Germany this winter semester intake
There’s like a million calories in a quarktasche..
NOTHING diet about it😂
not diet, but dairy
as an american whio has been living in germany for decades I LOVE to see theses fresh impressions or "real" american americans over here. I could watch these videos for ever. Thank you, Nalf!
I'm native german...but I never was happy with that.
On one side there is a lot of history and culture, dialects, traditions, art and tech knowledge, but also a very wealthy, stupid, brainwashed population.
Germany just is loosing its position in each way.
To come to Germany, drink beer, admire our historical buildings and take a look over the mountains seems just an illusion of Germany...
@@Ida-fz3ir Ja, Deutschland kackt natürlich auch gerade richtig ab. Aber nicht so schlimm wie die USA
@@Ida-fz3ir Was ein sinnfreier Kommentar. 😂
12:04 I agree, Central Europe is probably the best in terms of the ratio of quality, performance and price, American food is too industrial. The EU pushes for quality, in general European culture favors quality over quantity. And it is very noticeable in food.
Did you have to remind them to use their indoor voice when walking around outside?
Though coin currency may disconcert
Sights and foods couldn't fail to convert:
Just enough culture shock
To give your world a gentle rock
But with no “Suppenkoma” for dessert
Watch the local bakeries rush to rebrand their “diet doughnuts”.
She's back!
@@mojojim6458
Afraid my rhymes were needed elsewhere
Though never asked for, if we're being fair
And though I've been slack
With the algorithm snacks
I doubt it's gone hungry with you there!
@@isabelle_v You never cease to amaze me. Thanks so much.
@@mojojim6458 you and me both. Thanks Isabelle!
your guests had fun, that's the most important
Classy would be a Verdauungsschnaps after each meal. But I guess Kinder Bueno does the job as well
ok... let´s see... CMC is in germany and you have some good news... If the good news aren´t the documentary being released, I give up on ever seeing it!
Patience, patience; you will be rewarded.
I would have loved to see their reaction on sparkling water
no one really drinks sparkling water in the US, it's not a thing
@@danielzhang1916 I know, that's why I wanted to see their reaction on it, because it's very popular in Germany and no one from the US had experienced it before.
What gets me about the Alps is they're so green! The Sierra Nevada where I live are beautiful, but with our dryer Mediterranean climate you just don't see that lush green in the summer.
that is how i describe california to germans. looks nice, just the wrong color. :)
@@uliwehner The grass is green for about two months in the spring and that's it.
The one guy who managed to wear proper shorts im the city and seemed to go up a hill properly prepared seemed very sympathetic. A real ray of hope.
Thank you for promoting our country, you really showed them lots of nice stuff and I hope they will remember their trip for a long time 🤝🏻
"Quarktasche" - you really find it in every bakery in Germany. It is so typical such as the "Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte", "Apfelstrudel", "Donauwelle", "Breze" ... and many many other delicious food :-) It is so wonderful that you family and friends liked Germany (and Bavaria) so much.
Quarktasche ????
Imho, I did see you ate a "Puddingteilchen" , not a "Quarktasche", also common in german bakeries.
Topfentasche
@@wolfgangsimons9183 puddingteilchen has become a word in germany? when did that happen? and why?
@@uliwehner my kind of particle-physics ;)
@@uliwehner it hasn't. "Teilchen" as genericum for a sweet pastry for a quick bite is only common in Southern Germany. You will not hear that beneath the "Weißwurst Aquator" at all. 😉
Haha, that was an entry-level check-out register for Ty...
You didn't take them to Aldi yet. THAT'S where you have to show your a-game packing skills.
They compete in the olympiad levels of check-out speeds. 😂
EDEKA, phaw, child's play... 😂😁😋
Oh, and come on, you ought to give them a biiiig knuckle-sandwich... they obviously didn't watch your videos with the same intensity we did.
You reported on the 'having to pay for having to pee' yourself some time ago. So they should have been prepared for that. 😁
Like I said before ,,, family and friends ALWAYS makes your videos look AWESOME and BETTER it’s so good to see you with your love ones
When returning home in the Netherlands after visiting Germany, my own country always feel like a forgotten German province where we do things half as good and have a very big mouth about it.
I am a German that somewhat follows the NFL (in particular watch the game highlights on YT) but even I did not realize at first that this was Christian McCaffrey. So, 90% of the viewers of this video will not even realize how big of a deal that is.
I looked at your thumbnail and really thought “Is that Christian Mcaffrey?” I couldn’t believe it that’s so cool
Wish we had more NALFs in Germany
It's really eye-opening to see someone experience the things you grew up with. These experiences feel common, not special anymore. Hence, seeing the city, the food, and nature through visitors' eyes makes you appreciate what you have. However, we have scarcely any water fountains in Germany, I can totally agree.
As a European seeing Americans enjoy Kinder chocolate so much is so endearing
I really love the honesty and a positive surprise and experience they had.
You're a good "ambassador" for germany, and a good tour-guide as we'll! I'd love to see you exploring the north of germany or the freakingly beautiful rhine-valley, or even better: the EIFEL-Region and the unbelievably beautiful Ahrtal (which, as you surely be aware of, was struck by the biggest and most devestating catastrophy in July 2021... but even if, it's still probably the most impressing and beautiful places to visit in germany!).
Well done sir! Cool that Christian just got to be one of the guys, I'm sure he loved that. Gruesse aus Colorado!
Feels very good to hear someone speak positively about their experience in Germany every once in a while :)
Do you realize Germany is objectively one of the best and most beautiful countries to live in in the entire world? What's dangerous, however, are the strong forces trying to make you hate your own cultural heritage and feel guilty. I hope you're aware of it and keep your head straight up - just think of all the great inventors and artists who outweigh any of your past mistakes. AND you're one of the few nations that actually learned from the past - unlike many others.
That brought some vibes back for me as a Bavarian, who has shown around his relatives from Washington state here.
well, im from germany, just 30 mins from schwäbisch hall....after watching this, i think i have to re-visit my own country again...its always interesting to have someone see all the things for the first time, you ve seen all day long and have stoped to see the beauty in the ordinary things, you just take everything as granted.
Love how Christian McCaffery was just randomly in the video and no one said anything about it. lmaooooo
A sorbet (french) it just icecream with no milk and egg in it. Icecream with milk and egg is called parfait (french). Gelato is just the Italian word for Icecream
What a handsome group of young men! I had fun just watching all of you in the video 😊. I hope you get more visitors! ❤️from 🇨🇦.
9:27 looks just like Christian McCaffrey i am quite a bit confused anyways looks like a great vacation.
That coins bag meant as a joke came as a nice coinsidence
I see what you did there.
Greets from South Germany and thank you a lot for your work!
I commented under different videos that German is the biggest ethnic group in the USA, that English is a Germanic language and that you all came from here.
I really love you and I can tell you that I’m preparing many surprises.
You’ll see how much you need us and everything will be fine.
Also am into my dissertation with Harvard and a leading German University.
But that’s all I’ll tell you.
Let me surprise you.
With love, C
Check out some of the smaller towns in Bavaria - Regensburg and Bamberg are really beautiful for example.
Next time in Munich: Wirtshaus zum Straubinger opposite the Schrannenhalle just a stone throw off Viktualienmarkt - that’s where locals go, cute little beer garden and awesome staff! Try the Schnaps tasting, brilliant! And for Pizza there is only Pasta e Basta @Fraunhofer U-Bahn Station, and opposite you have Bergwolf Imbiss (they import their Currywurst from NRW - LOL - proper and authentic Currywurst Pommes Schranke (white and red, Mayonnaise and Ketchup)
Another cute Biergarten is Gasthof Hinterbrühl near the Flossländle.
I loved living in Munich, particularly during the summer months. Maybe next time your family and friends visit Germany, but you ought to check out these places.
Great video, as usual! Thank you for them all!
Just casually being friends with one of the best RB in the world
Schwäbisch Hall is one of my favourite german towns.
As a cyclist I can't remember how many times I was upset about the lack of water fountains in Germany.
Did anyone else notice the adaptation of Pink Floyd's Echoes at min 12:32?
I went on a trip from the UK with my mum when I was twelve to the Eagles Nest, Berchtesgaden & Konigssee, really awesome.
Nice Trip to Bavaria.. Will they visit Germany next time?
These times i need your videos more than ever. Thank you Nalf!
Great memories here. I went to school for six months at the Goethe-Institut in Schwaebisch-Hall in the early 90s. Some of the happiest days of my life. A magical place. Stayed first in the noisy old Studentenheim, before moving to a quiet hotel. I remember the ancient Cathedral downtown, and the wonderful Greek restaurants. (You should have visited the fabulous swim hall with its' outdoor circular slide, saunas, and steam rooms.)
Thanks for showing me my past.
I just realized that was Christian McCaffrey! As in Carolina Panthers (now 49ers?) Christian McCaffrey who’s gf is in that new reality show about her and her sisters. Damn.
Kinder Bueno ,, the german junkfood ,, 😅
This is such a warm and funny video!
Great editing, great humor, lovely to have a big family!
💙🍻
You are a real good german ambassador. Thank you for that. 🙂
@Rockemsockem Yes.
Munich has about a dozen drinking water fountains in the city center. Eight of them are around the Viktualienmarkt
in the US, almost every big store has a water fountain near the bathrooms
Genuinly Nick thank you for these types of videos. It is amazing how quickly your brain switches into 'everyday mode' and you just kind of take all interesting and enjoyable things in your town for granted. I just returend from 1 1/2 months of trabel 2 weeks ago and it's already setting in.
And videos of your family and friends perspective on the other way around (coming to Germany from a foreign place instead of returning) always shakes me out of that groove/rut. Thank you 💕
Nice, fun video, props to Nick. But: There is a lot more to discover in Germany but the South. You never explored the Ostfriesische Inseln, Sächsische Schweiz, or other Regions of Germany besides capital cities. So, to get the full picture of the variety of Germany, there is a lot more to discover. And not everywhere it is so picture-perfect.
Thank you for yet another stunning view/video of Germany. Glad you got some R&R with friends and family.
This was so wholesome to watch.
Wonderful feel-good video with awesome drone footage and cinematography, as always.
Is it kind of an "American in Germany" thing to go to the Eagle's Nest on every occasion? ;)
Only one young idiot who got into Congress on a campaign of lies, said stupid things every day, was disgraced for multiple reasons and has now lost the primary election. The cute young white guy in a wheelchair who may have caused the accident that broke his spine. (Or at minimum lied about what happened.)
Thought the exact same thing. I lived and worked in Munich in my 20s. Eagles Nest was never on my list of places to visit. Of all the beautiful castles and scenic panoramas, a trip to Hitler’s home is one of the last places I’d visit. Zero historical significance to those that reject Nazism. Saying you go there often is pretty telling as well.
Great video Nick, cool to see and friends.
That video was really nice. Great drone shots btw, gave me goose bumps. 🙂
you guys are such nice people. I really love your channel. this video made me feel good several times. really enjoyed watching you guys. thanks :-)
Moin Nick, es ist immer sehr schön zu sehen wie bei den Leuten die Dich Besuchen, oder selbst wenn Du zu Hause bist, sich die Denkweisen deiner Landsleute sehr schnell ändern und ihre ursprüngliche Lebensweise(Die bei eurer Familie nicht schlecht ist) hinterfragen.
Loved the video Nalf!
Great video. The shot of Mikey on the mountain at 7:27 is nothing short of amazing. Very well done!
You became a good tour guide!!! By the way: Schnitzel in Deutschland ist oft kein Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel wird aus Kalbsfleisch gemacht, Schnitzel Wiener Art ( gibt's nur in Deutschland) aus Schweinefleisch.
Könnte auch Pute sein. Übrigens: Ein Restaurant irgendwo östlich des Chiemsees hat tatsächlich mal "Schnitzel Wiener Art vom Kalb" auf der Speisekarte stehen gehabt.
So cool they enjoyed all the first time experience stuff.
Schwabisch Hall being just like a movie decor, good food and great beer.
The coins thing is a bit of a German thing, still (?) holding on to the 1 and 2 cent coins. But then in the USA you also got the small coins going on. Most of the time I toss them in the tip jar on the counter.
Being Dutch here in The Netherlands we just tap our bank card when paying. Fast and simple. 😁
Corona enhanced the acceptance of card payment in small shops such as bakeries.
Unfortunately, Germany still is developing when it comes to cashless payment in parking areas, the Sanifair thing or other infrastructural places.
@@steinimmobilien they still have a way to go.
Was on a holiday in Germany for the last two years.
A woman in a bakery explained to me that the banks still charge a relatively high amount per electronic transaction for small payments.
I think that's also one of the causes.
Great to see Nick’s love for Germany.
So great to meet your fam!
Nick, your videos just put me in a good mood.
That was great to watch. Very happy to see that ya'll enjoyed my hometown Munich as well! I think your friend had "Radler" (beer mixed with lemonade), which is very refreshing. Prost!
Wow! Incredible! Great video!
Hi Nalf, it was a great video! You show all that Germany is very friendly to all people! Great Job, but I think it´s so great, cause it come´s from your heart!
