After moving to Germany and living in Germany, we learned that some things in German culture are normal, but to Americans and based on American culture, are considered quite luxurious! What things do Germans have that Americans only dream of?? 😊

❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist and Donnie was a graphic designer, but we both had a dream to #travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! After 9 months of aimless and nonstop travel, we now get to fulfill our dreams of #LivingAbroad as #expats as we move to #Germany!

Thank so much for watching, guys! I've been a bit inconsistent with uploading new long-form videos as of late, but I have been getting Shorts out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Hopefully you've been catching those as well. Nonetheless, I am trying to get back to posting regular videos on Fridays so keep a keen eye out for those coming in hot! 🔥If you enjoyed, please consider liking this video and subscribing to the channel😊
Sunscreen. I treasure my life. 😊
Team "as little sun as possible" in the summer.
Cheeses which are in Paper instead of Plastic?
The worst kind of ice is Soft-Ice. That’s disgusting. that Stuff you pretty through a form? Pure hell.
Team Keep out of the sun all the way here. I wear long sleeves and a hat. I hate sunscreen because it makes me feel all sticky and sweaty and a mess. AND it causes spots on my clothes where sunscreen meets cloth.
sun screen
I used to live in Cyprus. When there were family get togethers for dinner, especially BBQs, eating could easily last all afternoon!
Sunscreen!
To answer the question, im team 3. No sun XD
He left off the number one thing
Healthcare
In most European countries healthcare is free. I can go see a doctor at short notice for free
Och ein Pfälzer 😅 Kaiserslautern?
Pro-Tip, perhaps really a bit posh: There is a device called "Elektrische Heizpatrone" you can add to the towel warmer radiator. You can program a schedule to it so it starts heating at the time you usually take a shower/bath so you have warmed towels all over the year, not only when the normal heating is on. Second benefit: The towels dry faster and don't start to smell.
the whole gelato story is terribly boring…..
Team No Sun. 😏
The most shocking thing of all was that we Germans were portrayed in suits 🤣
Child in older body…..typical American.?
Spirit Airlines is not much more expensive than Ryanair
sunscreen – as my mom died of skin-cancer
Maybe flying is so much cheaper because everything is closer? From Germany I can reach most of Europe in 2–3 hours flight. I guess that‘s not the same in the US?
Team "try to remember to apply sunscreen" 😅
6) Insulin
I am Team Nivea 😁
2:33 The hazards of towel fires on such radiators are completely incalculable. 🦀🫕🍟
Even on rainy days.
What? Education, pricetags with tax includes, metric vs 1.256 thousands of an inch 😂
#4 not to mention naked kids at the beaches/pools. I've heard from other Youtubers that it'snot really okay in the US, but here is Europe toddlers are often naked even in a city center fountain. Not as common as it was before the smartphones and internet tho (for obvious reasons)
#5 I can confirm, I worked for Ryanair as a CS, you could get flights for as low as 2$, BUT that's at least 6 months before the date and on less popular routes, like the one I specifically remember, Bordeaux to London(?) for 1.7$
The Deutsche Bahn is trash and is getting worse over time
Would be interessting to see how many Germans have a Handtuchheizkörper in their Bathrooms. I live here since almost 50 years Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne, Dortmund, Hamburg and Munich again and all i ever saw was regular radiators or heaters.
Naja wenigstens nicht Bayern
In Germany, and any other country for that matter, having any bathroom at all is a luxury. Period.
Other everyday American things Europeans only dream of:
air conditioning, automatic transmission, cars larger than the 0.5 liter Fiat, the list is endless.
No sunscreen, but then also not much sun.
I like the white glasses! They look nice on you.
But you are wrong about the towel rack!
1:45 Eigentlich nur eine Heizung, haben wir z.B. nicht!
Great video! Loved the explanation on the luxurious feeling of flying… one must add that gas prices are also higher in Germany compared to the US. I think that‘s also part of the reason we‘re avoiding cars as a mean of transportation for holidays… it‘s just cheaper to pay (even for say a nicer airline) 250€ for a return flight with extra baggage than to take your car and lose two vacation days plus well over 500€ on gas, tolls, etc. to fly out from Germany to say the Spanish south coast or Turkey
Saunas are quite common, starting from sports clubs, ending at red light. Avoid them.
I’m on team sunscreen. If I’m doing more than walking into or out of a vehicle, I want to put effort to protect my skin.
Come to us in the Franconian countryside. Here you can sit in the beer garden. In our area it is called a beer cellar and is often in the forest or on a hill in the middle of nature. Here you can sit all day until the sun goes down, you can eat and drink and your children can use the playground next door. No waiter would dare to tell you that you have to leave because you have finished eating. In the villages you can still get real ice cream made from milk and at a reasonable price. The people here are very relaxed and even Germans from other parts of the country come here for vacation. My employer gives me 31 days vacation and vacation pay and Christmas bonus. 🙂
Don‘t tell me you tried to become member of a Sauna club. 😂
Team sunscreen for sure.
sry Sir ..never had a Flight for 2€… never even far under a 100€ …maybe im just dumb ..but i think it isnt true… Flighttraffic in europe is expensive ..maybe not that crazy as in us (ive never been there but it is defnitly not that crazy cheap…) and the whole super Transportationsystem … maybe you dont get that in the us …but holy shit when you want to go from the north to the south fast! cause of one your relatives get sick or whatever with DB …good luck… the last thing i see was 1000€ back and here… don´t tell me as a German ..it is super cheap to go around 😀 ..ok the flight was 400€ i think …I get your point ..lol
Gelato is nice, but also try Sorbet, it's quite delicious.
Meanwhile there is some kind of trend in Germany, where waiters in restaurants also constantly ask "Is everything alright?" or "Do you need something?" and it is so annoying.
Sauna rocks. Sit in 194 Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, then jump into a pool of ice cold water, get out, have a beer and a shot, then go back into the sauna. You get fucked up almost free. If you want it a lillte nicer, you go to a "Thermalbad".
Never had ice cream in the US, but the Ben & Jerry's in Germany looks just like normal ice cream to me? We only distinguish between watery ice and creamy ice, the latter being variable in fat and so on, but that's rather a price thing.
We commonly call ice cream Eis and not gelato.
