I was born and raised in Canada and will live rest of my days in Canada. I even have issues converting height into imperial measure so much so I had to google to convert the measurements. Lol Canada is a unique country for sure

Hello this video was so nice 😊thank you for sharing 👌🏼

Not sure about BC or if it's just because you may be in a rural area, but in most places recycling is picked up at the curb bi-weekly; there's no need to take it anywhere, yourself

We used to use imperial that’s why it’s used Get the right temperature before getting in 1 cup is 250ml not a random cup 😂😂

The cups in recipes are 250 ml. We have special cups called measuring cups. There are 2 kinds, dry measures for measuring flour and sugar and other dry ingredients, and the glass ones with a handle for wet ingredients. I was laughing when you were talking about how to use the shower. I had a similar experience trying to figure out a toilet in England. You often asked what the advantage is to these things but I think that is where your confusion is. We probably just don’t ow any better. I was interested to see what your system is for showers in Germany. We probably just don’t know any better and I find a lot of products here are not well thought put in terms of their design. I love a product with great design myself but perhaps due to smaller population in Canada so perhaps less competition between producers and a lot of space and resources compared to European countries, the designs in North America are rather lazy, ugly and inefficient. Your German products and culture are known to us in Canada as being thoughtful about quality, design, efficiency, and it shows when you are confused about what advantages our products have. Well they probably have some but overall I would say that is just not the mindset here, which I personally find frustrating. We have the systems we know and can afford as well I guess. That is all I can really say. Also with the tax, I think Canadians mostly know what is taxable and not so we do know what we will pay, but for anyone travelling from elsewhere it is understandably very confusing. Groceries are not taxable but single portions are. Most other things are taxable but that tax amount will depend what province you live in.

Your appartement is expensive. My parents had an appartment in St joseph. 500 euro per month and has germans, as I live in Germany and my parents are open to europeans. But they are too old to do it now. Where did you go to your groceries? Go to the market. The vegetables and fruits are less expensive than in Germany, and I can see that each time I am coming back. You go to Saint Joesph market.... Where did you go? In vincendo there are no big supermarkets. Go to Leclerc in St Joseph. I guess you did your groceries in a kiosk. Kiosk or little markets are expensive just as in Germany. Wines are cheaper than in Germany for a better quality price ratio and the beer pack cost the same as in Rewe You should have talk to locals.... From someone who is from Saint Jospeh.... Bodycare is expensive or european goods. But locals goods are not that expensive, that's not true You have Tuna fish for less than 20 euro/kilo. It is more than 50 euro/kilo in Germany. So eat local eat cheaper

Dutch guy finding there roots. Thanks for sharing Sir!

Brrrr. Looks cold…but very beautiful.

Set the water first and then enter the shower. Most people don't shut off the water between the stages of washing.

You do a good job if explaining the benefits of the spinners for people that dont like them

Unfortunately the sales taxes are added after in both Canada and the U.S. It’s a real pain in the neck. Most of us would much rather have it pre added and the pay the sticker price.

In Canadian homes we may use duvets or blankets or both we also use duvet covers. When it’s your own family you are not washing blankets very often as you have a sheet between you and the blanket. I’m sure hotels, motels etc. would be cleaning those blankets between clients, either washing or dry cleaning.

All shower systems here can be quite different. Mine looks nothing like the one you showed in the video. My system is you turn on the hot and cold water and regulate it to the temperature you want ( the water is coming out of the faucet. . Then when ready you pull a little plunger on the top of the faucet, this switches the water flow from the faucet to the shower head, and as you have already regulated the temperature you don’t get any sudden cold or hot shocks. When finished you just push the plunger back down which switches the water back to the faucet and you just turn the water off at the taps

Oh dear we can be very confusing regarding the Metric and the old Imperial system. Hopefully it will get better as ch are taught the metric system at school. Canada did not start using the metric system until the 1970’s. Speaking for myself I was already in my thirties. For many of us older Canadians we ended up using a bit of each. For example for the weather I relate more to Celsius, but for distances I think in miles, and feet and inches. For body weight I use ponds and ounces, but am also comfortable ordering deli foods in grams.

Radar Hill!

Wo bist Du jetzt?

Kitsilano beach is bisy and fun during the summeronths, its hopping with activity!

karantine....too cute 🥰 this was very entertaining. he googled how to use a Canadian shower awe lol

music for a good video so I'm enjoying them, but I wonder where you are now Manual... what have you been up to these past 2 years?

I am traveling from California USA to Reunion Island in March - it is the furthest place in the world from my home city.

Canadian bureaucrats are not very intelligent.

The dogs are generally not beaten, but definitely abused..

Super sympa la vidéo mec !

Welcome, Even though I'm late!

Good for you! That seaweed is not pleasant.

The reason the shower knobs are like that in Canada is because those types of knobs are way cheaper than other types of knobs. Hotels started using those because they are a cheaper price and since hotels have sometimes hundreds of those installed in a building they wanted to save money. In the United States we also have those knobs which will create a moment of panic by not knowing how cold or hot the water will come out. So, I understand your frustration.

You should come back to help for the summer! It’s a little bit different during the summer and all the puppy litters are sooooooooo cute and fun to play with

Hi it’s Ava do you remember me? I helped out and came over for lunch sometimes! I’m the neighbour who’s house you could get to through the trail by the barn

Love the videos of your adventure here in Canada, would like to see more travel videos , hope you are doing well 😊

You can buy the tap for your shower you like. The one you have from Germany is more expensive so the cheaper American one is used by default. Also to weights and sizes, too the weight it is an age thing, the size and measurements it is for American book that are used. It is cheaper to use American ones. I do not know pounds and onzes?. Sorry I do not know that word. The tax thing is because every province has different tax, some only have federal tax like in Alberta. The others have provincial tax and federal tax. I agree with you on the tax thing they should just do it like the other countries. I can from before the 80s when there was only provincial tax no federal.

Rougail sausage from the local shack, the best food ever, . beer buy local, very cheap dodo

How about a scooter?

So beautiful. We flew over Rèunion, in our way to the beautiful island of Mauritius. 🏝

Thank you Manuel! Do you have a link in English where you were able to find families to rent a room from? kind regards - Minneapolis,Minnesota USA

Great video! Music was good too😎

You are funny.I remember Baywatch.

Very nice lsland 🎥🌹

HI there. How about the cost of eating out, please? Thank you

wait... you turn the shower off during the shower and then back on again?? that's why our faucets are "weird" for you... I don't think anyone here does that?! LOL

your mic has too much bass bro... i cant understand you because of my woofers

Thank you Manuel for this video.

Is it a european zone? Also since its close to africa, are there many immigrants???

Hello there, very nice video , please can you share with me the expert group on Facebook for reunion, so I can connect with someone on my trip to this place !

hi im looking to relocate and wondering if you still like it there ?

Metric/standard…bah, I use both in my shop depending on situation and for framing and carpentry feet and inches rule. I’m bilingual I guess. So, five things you don’t get about Canada, eh? Well, when I visit Europe, there’s fifty things I don’t get, and that’s just at the first city I land in first day!

You look totally baked. You complain too much.

All big stores like Walmart, Save on Foods etc will accept the recycling bottles/cans etc. and pay your deposit back. You have to take them to customer service. You can take them there even if you didn't buy them there.

I agree about the tax things, its a problem and the reason is because there are no laws to force stores to include taxes to the prices that way people end up buying more then they would normally. It gets really bad for high value items, i showed up with 2000 dollars cash to buy this 2000 dollar matress but turns it with taxes it was 2250 dollars but then the seller didnt want me to leave his store with that much money so we spent 1 hour negociating prices: He offered another bed but i kept refusing and in the end his boss came in and said if i paid 2k cash he'd give me the matress taxe free and added 2 free pillows for my trouble so worked out in the end for me.

all thick blanckets are alrealdy in a removable cover blancket. If you look at the end of it carefully, you will fine a tiny zipper and inside you'll be surprised to find the thick blanket is white. You have a thiner layer for the summer when its too hot to have thick blanket on.
