American freedom. You can get yourself slaughtered for America in foreign countries where Americans have no business being, but if you swim naked on the beach, you will be arrested.
the concept of beeing naked and not think anything sexual is somehow weird for americans, havent figured out why, but alot of americans ive talked to are very weird when it comes to that.
As a Swede, I would not even think about going into a sauna with clothes on. I might wear a towel around my hips or in my hand, but that is for sitting on. The benches can be hot. The Finns would laugh out loud if anyone came into the sauna with clothes on. It´s one easy way to get banned from the sauna completely. Unless it is a practical joke - we once lured in a true hardrocker with a complete leather outfit, into a sauna. Of course, we bribed him with a lot of icecold beer. He finally got enough, half-fighted his way out - and when we went out later, he stood in the cold shower, with all his leather clothing. It was kind of evil from us, and fair to say, somewhat dangerous (don´t mess around with heatstroke). It ended some days later with a big laugh though (and some completely ruined leather clothes). It is also true that they for me are very annoying. One could hear these guys from a mile away, and I would definitely avoid them or any similar American. No way, Sherlock.
Two anecdotes: The mother of a school friend came into the son's room. He changed his trousers in front of me. Not his underpants, but his normal trousers. She was horrified. We laughed and said to her: We do sport together and see each other completely naked three times a week in the communal shower and changing (locker) room. A member of the Bundestag (german parliament) and a journalist were guests at a charity football match. They met in the changing room to get changed for the game. Instead of fidgeting around in embarrassment, the politician said to the journalist "I guess we'll have to go through this now" and stripped naked to put on his sportswear. By this I mean: it is the mendacious, mostly religiously induced shame that causes conservative people to behave puritanically in a group.
The irritating thing is that sites like TH-cam and Facebook are controlled by that same prudish culture so you have to avoid showing stuff that would be quite normal on European TV.
Beer at 9 am must be a bavarian thing. It's definitely not the norm here in the Cologne / Duesseldorf area. Even at the weekend I've never heard anyone say "let's have beer for breakfast."
I think, on some occasions like Vatertag or a Frühschoppen on Sunday, etc. it is normal, but if beer is part of your normal breakfast, it definitely is weird in Germany as well.
Where I live, they say: "No beer before four (o'clock)*1". An exception is, for example, Father's Day. Other alcoholic drinks for certain occasions, e.g. Christmas punch on the last working day before the Christmas holidays, mulled wine at Advent markets, sparkling wine when celebrating something ... *1 In German it rhymes: "Kein Bier vor vier"
"Mettbrötchen" = Ground pork with onion rings and pepper on a breadroll is legit. We call it "Fireman's Jam / Feuerwehr Marmelade" where I am from. I have eaten it since a young age, love it, and have never heard of anyone having problems with it. It's also a regular staple on building sites. When the owners want to spoil their builders during lunch break, "Bier und Mettbrötchen" is the way to go!
If you read the letters FKK in Germany, they means "Freikörperkultur" Lit. " Free Body Culture" means it is a fully naked aera, Saunas here usualy but some Beaches even Camping places also.
The being nude in the sauna has a very good reason. Sweat soaking into textiles does not allow the pores to open fully. But that's the intention of sauna. Get your skin used to rapid changes in temperature, opening and closing pores on demand. The next thing: when pores open wide, and sweat is released that takes out quite a lot of dirt captured in the pores. This is supposed to be trapped in your towel, not in worn clothing. Worn clothing keeps that gunk trapped close to your skin; no clothing allows it to run down into your towel. That's why you always have TWO towels for the sauna. One for showering and drying off; the other to sit on and capture the sweat. After taking a sauna trip, you cool off in fresh air, take COLD showers to both rinse off the gunk on your skin, as well as making your pores QUICKLY close again. After that take a dip in REALLY cold water. Now comes the relaxing part: grab your drying off towel or even a third towel, lie down on a beach rest, and relax. Give your body time to acclimate to normal temperatures again; allow it to recuperate because the sauna experience is quite taxing on your metabolism. Only once you are used to this go into the hotter saunas; don't start off with the hottest just to show off how 'manly' you are. Get used to the less hot ones first; once you can comfortably remain in them for a ten minute stretch you might be ready to advance. Number 5: true, because the legal age of consent for any kind of s*xual activity in Germany is 16 (unless a dependent is involved, in which it is a no-no). However, even 14 year old teens will not get into trouble IF it is within their age group. Again, definitely not where one of them is the dependent of the other (this would require some VERY strange legal circumstances, btw). It has to be mutually consenting without any form of coercion or pressure. Thus, public displays of affection aren't (legally) frowned upon, thus most people would consider it a lot more rude to interrupt and point out the morals of the situation when it isn't illegal.
I spent an hour in a airport lounge in Tokyo the other day. 7 am. Even I, being German was a little shocked. At least half of the folks were drinking beer.
The Mett/raw minced pork is INSANELY regulated and checked. We are talking multiple checks from the delivery of the pig to the butcher throughout the whole production process right to the point it is delivered. Mett HAS to be sold and consumed on the same day. That's the only thing you should be aware of should you ever intend on making your own Mettbrötchen here. Buy it fresh on the same day you are intending to eat it. Do NOT keep it to the next day. A crisp Brötchen/Semmel/Schrippe/Weck = (all equals) bread roll, good butter, a good layer of Mett, diced onions, salt, pepper. That's it. It's also called the Maurermarmelade/ bricklayer's jam as it was so ubiquitously eaten by craftsmen during their late breakfast break; especially on construction sites.
@@mogwai76 I’ve eaten all. I very seldom ate eat raw meat and I stopped eating it. Raw fish doesn’t have as many problems as raw meat and often the fish has been frozen so it’s safe. We usually make a burger from tartar and grill or bake it.
Note: Not every raw pork is safe to be eaten. Mett is extra well inspected/vetted. Don't try this at home, folks. 😊 Also: That "raw" fish in the roll wasn't raw, it was pickled in vinegar or brine.
If you found Germans weird and want to connect better than last time: Keep in mind that temperaments differ regionally, not just north and south, town and country, old and young, you name it... My suggestion is to start with people of similar age and education, maybe hang out 3rd places around some university campus (Heidelberg, Marburg, Leipzig, Berlin, Münster, Duisburg...), but make sure to check out term times or they'll be away.
If you want to try a Mettbrötchen with raw meat, please don‘t make a mistake that some foreigners do: You do NOT want to buy raw meat in a supermarket. You will better get it from a local butcher, where you will have real fresh good meat! Most of the time, you will find them easier in small cities and on the countryside than in the big cities like Berlin and Hamburg.
I wondered about that, too! I‘ve never seen anyone walking around naked in any German city. Possible exceptions: there have been art happenings involving nudism and certain political protests where people were naked, but it is certainly not a daily occurrence.
He is referring to the KitKat Club in Berlin. For those who don't know, nudity is possible inside and is often practised. The club is known worldwide for this. On the way from the car park to the entrance, some people walk around naked. They leave their clothes in the car. Er bezieht sich auf den KitKat Club in Berlin. Wer es nicht weiß, aber drinnen ist Nacktheit möglich und wird gerne praktiziert. Der Club ist dafür weltweit bekannt. Auf dem Weg vom Auto (Parkplatz) zum Eingang laufen schon mal einige nackt umher. Sie lassen die Kleidung im Auto.
First thought: not ALL Germans do or like all mentioned. It's allowed but is not everyone's cup of tea. Nude saunas is a very (northern) European thing. Also in NL. It's considered more hygienic. People are very conscious of entering a sauna clean, without clothing. However, saunas with/for bathing suits also exist, on certain days/times for people who are not able to participate for eg. religious reasons. Never a mix though. A respectful attitude is paramount and taking photo's where there is nudity is "not done". The quality of meat and fish is highly regulated so the chance of getting sick is honestly minimal. It's more a matter of liking it or not. Raw meat and fish is an acquired taste. Herring in NL is actually pretty good although I'd never go out of my way to have it. Just not my thing. Raw meat (tartare) is common in NL. Raw pork I've never seen here.🤔 Beer in the morning is not okay here in NL. You will see it in the afternoon though. There are definitely differences between European countries, even close neighbours. Making out in public in NL is more likely around festivals or late at night. Again something we normally don't see here in NL. It's considered common, not chic. You'll probably be told to "get a room". Really! 😅
The beer in the morning thing is actually not totally normal in Germany as well. On some occasions like father's day, where men (most of them are not fathers 😂) go on some sort of "hike" and basically have an all day party, or if you go to a "Frühschoppen" on sunday morning (not that common anymore) it is normal. If you are drinking beer with your friends in the morning, you are not totally drunk and you are not looking like homeless, people will assume you have a day off and a little all day party. But if you are drinking beer on your way to work or beer is a regular part of your breakfast it will be frowned upon. Construction workers used to drink beer throughout the day, but that is also not common and accepted anymore.
Going to the sauna NOT naked is weird😂 usually when you enter a sauna you have a towel around your hips and the use the towel in the sauna to sit on the towel. I would feel uncomfortable in sauna with something on. Wouldn't feel right
6:52 In Germany, people often jokingly say, "No beer before 4 (4pm)!" When I worked as an intern in a Saxon-Bohemian brewery, there was always a free, freshly tapped beer in the afternoons and evenings when work ended! Afternoon ~ 2pm or 3pm and evening 10pm - 11pm
The origins of all-day drinking is from the time when most water was polluted. Small beer (very low alcohol) was safer. Even kids drank it with breakfast. Btw, a brandy/schnapps/grappa/calvados with one's espresso-style coffee is still common to see in southern Europe at 08:00, on the way to work.
Belgian actually, but yes, agreed & i also suggested this in another comment just now, that stuff is great & hope he tries it next time he visits Germany (im like 99% sure they have it there too)
Raw pork meant to be eaten raw bought from a german shop does not make you sick. It's fresh and very well controlled. It's meant to be eaten raw! We have ridiculously strict food rules don't worry. Best would be to buy a prepared one but if you cant: buy a "normales Brötchen" from the bakery, "frisches Mett" from the meat section of a supermarket, an onion and pepper. Put Mett on Brötchen, season with pepper and onion slices. I'm drooling writing this
German/EU food regulations are strict enough to allow for this kind of food to be safe. don't ever try raw meat or raw milk etc in countries with weak or no food safety regulations. if you cannot trust the food producers and there is not enough government supervision then keep away from it. US food safety regulations tend to be old and since the public prefers weak government supervision and food producers want to maximise profit over the wellbeing of their customers the US government opted for the safe version by banning all the usual suspects - there is no cheese made of raw milk in the US.
theres another reason for making your own cigarettes - things like volume tobacco actually taste better than bought cigarettes, they are smoother, less dense, they just got a more airy feeling towards them
Concering Rolling Tobacco: It's not just about the price, for some it can simply be the taste. The tobacco you prefer may not be available as cigarettes. Some people prefer the taste of a self rolled (filter or without) and there's also the mini-event of rolling it yourself as opposed to simply taking a cigarette out of a box. Kind of like drinking a beer out of a bottle or can as opposed to pouring it into a proper glass first. Minor things maybe, but it's all down to individual preference. Having a beer at 9 am? If someone's on leave, holiday or it's party/festival time then sure, why not? If they do it on a regular basis then they're either addicted and/or don't have or need a driving licence 😀 Edit: People kissing in public is a shocker? Damn, just imagine they had been in Berlin or Hamburg seeing people actually bonking! 😆
1.) It depends on where you go to the sauna and what rules apply there. I you don't know just ask for the rules. It is not weird to be asked to undress when you are the only one who is not naked. 2.) Minced pork for onion mince must be freshly prepared for raw consumption or preserved as an industrially produced product with nitrite curing. However, the fish roll is not usually made with raw fish. The fish is usually pickled, marinated, fermented, cooked or smoked. But Sushi is a trend here.
4:43 With your hands, probably not with a meat grinder, and not with pure meat either, but with egg, onion cubes, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, all mixed together (with gloves or a fork) and left to soak in for a few minutes and then on bread! But do you or your compatriots eat steak tartar? And since you mentioned sushi, that's not without its worms either! Anisakiasis is a disease caused by roundworms. There are three types of roundworms known in fish. The species Anisakis simplex gave the disease its name. The roundworm can be found in raw fish, for example sushi or herring. You can easily prevent an infection with Anisakis: Heat crabs and sea fish sufficiently before eating them, and avoid eating raw fish that has not been frozen. The larvae die at temperatures above 60 °C or below -20 °C.11.12.2023
Raw meat can be eaten in Germany. Because our hygenic standards are much better than inn the US. The meat is controlled. It is safe to eat. I had it since I was a small child and I have never become ill from eating raw pork with onions on a roll. It is delicious...
Hello Joel. I did have raw sausage meat as a kid in UK, but back then you knew the butcher and trusted where meat came from. I could not imagine it today. I also would no longer want fish on the underdone side. I am not one for the idea of walking round with no clothes. You could get hypothermia in summer in my native Bradford. As for rolling cigarettes, it was not uncommon there, though I never smoked. However I was known to start drinking at lunch on days off when younger. Meeting pals for a pie and a pint for lunch in the local pub, home for tea, then back out later in the evening was normal, but not as intense as in Germany I reckon. However the servers in the supermarket in Texas could not believe how many beers we would stack in the van and Texans are supposed to like a beer.
Actually, the amount and time for beer differ regionally in Germany, in the north and west is an evening/after work/weekend-BBQ thing. And not every adult drinks beer. - My experience as student in Hessen and Yorkshire: There was no great difference, only the English had to start earlier because of last order... The English maybe frequented a little more, to my personal experience.
Well with regards to nudity in the sauna, the British don’t do nudity in public spaces as a rule. Whenever we’ve been to Germany or Austria we get very odd looks from the natives when wearing shorts in the sauna, tbf to the Germans whilst receiving looks of disapproval we’ve never been told to remove our shorts. Maybe the not doing nudity in public is a throwback to thier Anglo-Saxon roots.
Even Germans don't walk naked on the streets (I think). The sauna is a different thing. You sweat a lot there ... why would you wear anything. There are only 2 types of people (well, nowadays in the USA there are 1000s, but normally there are two) and nobody cares how anyone looks. That's the charm of a sauna to me. In the USA nudity means sex; in Europe it just means no cloths.
Raw meat is not that prevalent. I believe they are talking about "Mett", essentially raw meat mixed with raw onions. And it is particularly popular in the Cologne area. Where I'm from (northern Bavaria), we rarely eat raw meat (except for Sushi, which is not German food). As for FKK: this is particularly popular in east Germany. But saunas are all-naked in whole of Germany, that is true. But it is nothing sexual, and as you say, it is not weird when it is the norm. It was weird for me too, when I want to a sauna for the first time, but you get used to it pretty quickly. And outside FKK areas you will not see all-naked people. You are not even allowed to be naked elsewehere. It is considered an offense and you will be fined for it.
3:57 I have even seen people refusing to swim naked in a lake that is designated as a nudist beach, or people who were surprised at the entrance that it said nudist! Normally, people who don't follow the house rules should be thrown out! For example, bathers who wear trousers in normal textile beaches but wear cotton ones instead of swimming trunks made of polyester, for example! 🤨😠
Being nude in saunas is pretty common in a lot of countries not only in Germany. America is the biggest porn producing country in the world yet they freak out seeing someone nude in a sauna or a woman topless at the beach. Raw meat is not only in Germany. They have in The Netherlands as well. Strangely enough it is called Filet Americain. It is a big hit at birtday parties and no you dont get sick of these kind of raw meats. Otherwise it would be illegal for supermarkets to sell it.
@@Phiyedough so, first: Phones are forbidden in German spas. For a very good reason. Second, I see in this video they were recording a video on FKK beach. That's why I said that. Don't do it. You are seriously violating other peoples' rights. Even if you plan to blur them. Additionally, while often acceptable in US and called freedom, it is not generalky allowed in Germanyto film other people. Even wearing clothes.
Fischbrötchen aren't made with raw fish! Either the fish is pickled (like the sour Bismarckherring) oder smoked or it's fermented (Matjes). It always seems really really odd to me that the same people who love raw fish (Sushi) are at the same time disgusted when it comes to raw pig meat (Mett). Both just have to be fresh and everything is allright.
The USA is a bit prudish, if a couple in Germany ore Europe are together in a normal feature film , you might see them totaly naked on Tv. 😅Here it is normal.
Why would anyone want to go to the sauna with their clothes on? Towel to sit on, some people also wrap it around their hips. You Americans probably faint when it comes to a mixed sauna 😂😂
Bavarian Breakfast (!) includes beer! Sunday morning, 9 am, ... a beer? Why not? ^^+gg *prost Oh! And Mettbröchten (raw pork) is delicious as ... try it! You'll love it! P.S.: I am currently wearing the same Pink Floyd shirt as you right now! :)
Akshually, the fish shown in the video is not raw. It is conserved in acid-y, vinegar-y stuff which 'cooks' the proteins. For raw fish, go for the Dutch 'haring' (herring). (Which is akshually slightly fermented. 😂) Also. Germany is probably the LEAST likely place to get sick eating. Anything available is pretty dang hard regulated and controlled.
6 Uhr morgens ersma nen 🍺, danach in der Sauna um es wieder aus zu schwitzen, danach in der in Mittagspause ersma nen Mettigel. Feierabend bier am FKK Strand, völlig legitim!♥️
These two were fun at the beginning but turned out to promote religion and strict morals from a certain point.. and it was not well received in Germany… we are as strict with not wanting that.. nothing wrong with being religious but here it’s more a private thing. It felt completely awkward what they did…. nudity is not an issue in many parts of Europe not just Germany. Look at European movies. Nudity is nothing special.
Hi there, greetings from Germany! I Like your chanel and your open mind! Nudity, to be honest, thats biological normal. What is the difference between a naked chest and a naked butt??? It belongs to your body! To be sarcastic, God created humans, why do they have to hide themselves behind clothes? And when you see more naked skin it get's pretty normal and no one is so interested in seeing more. The beer thing is based on middle ages bad water conditions where beer has been the most clean drink at all. If you learn to handle alcohol at younger age you experience your limits and learn to enjoy beer. Ok, you always have some dudes who want to shoot their lights out. But the great majority consumes not to much. And the last thing is "making out" What is more romantic than giving your partner a kiss, when your feel for it. Imagine your have to hide before you can kiss the partner, so noone could see you. Honestly when you are overwhelmed by your feelings and tell your partner that you love him/her/whatever and just kiss! Who cares about other people? Enjoy this moment, cause it never comes back. Dumb and low minded are those who laugh about foreign habits because they do not understand it. The problem is, when you are told you are the best and your country is the best, then you see other countries habits as wrong or backward (right word?). The same from here, how is it possible to deny science (Charles Darwin) as thinking individuums and teach history as written in the bible (which is - by the way - written by human beings)? Take this as an example. And how do we progress? Not by doing thing as they were done for a long time. No we progress by questioning current "laws". Is the earth really center of the universe? Surprise, surprise we are standard and insignificant (important only in our own bubble). I hope you keep on being open minded, because you can learn so much even about yourself. And always question what you have been told, there is not only one (correct) opinion
I have the feeling rolling cigarettes should be normal in America as well. It probably even originated from there if you think about it. I mean didn't Cowboys roll their cigarettes all the time?
If you feel uncomfortable with being naked in a sauna, you can get sum sort of towel- belt that covers the nost private areas There are also sum extra' women- sauna days, for those who dont wanna share their privacy with men I dont like it anyway... Its not me being naked, but a bunch of naked strangers, that surround me, which is kinda awkward
I also drink beer this early but it has to be a nice light, creamy, lightly fruity beer. After lunch, around 2 p.m, I drink little more bitter beer. I couldn't drink a dark or bitter beer so early. I drink approximately 500ml-1l throughout the day. Some days nothing or more.
@@suicidalbanananana No, and why not? It's not like I'm drunk or driving. I feel healthy and so says my doctor. I am healthy. And believe it or not, but as a 26 year old, being drunk just 2-3 times a year on new Year's Eve or Oktoberfest, is pretty good.
Al-tough us Dutchies and Germans share a lot in our cultures, we're absolutely not the same ! Making out in public; yes sure of course no problem! rolling our own cigarettes from tobacco (which we call Shag in The Netherlands), yes of course! And by the way; that pouch of Shag called Samsom tobacco is a Dutch make ! So Germans smoke a lot Dutch Shag, just like the Dutch do. And if you are really for it: Get a pouch of Zware Van Nelle Shag (Dutch as well) so Heavy Shag ! and let me know what your thoughts are. Nude in a Sauna, well yes of course. It is illegal to wear clothes in a Sauna since it is non hygienic . Drinking Beer, sure of course, but the Germans do this in overdrive in comparison with The Dutch. In General the Dutch do not drink beer in the morning I'd say. after luch though on a nice hot sunny day on a terrace....yeah the beer will flow on a gentle pase. Raw pork though...? I even did not know this exsited.... so no I don't think this is done here in The Netherlands as well, but then again, this is as far as I know... so who knows...
@@ichbinbluna3504they act so immature for their age. 😂. Why do they not find out why people in Germany have these relaxed rules and then look at the history of America and realise the difference.
@@ichbinbluna3504 They are loud, one can hear them from a mile away. They are also not truly learning, just throwing loud American prejudgices around. For Europe, their clothing is also wrong. A minor thing, but even if they didn´t speak at all, their clothing gives them away. I do already actually go to some lenght to avoid Americans like these. If you look closely, they also lack ears - hear nothing. Combined, no way I would talk to these (or similar) folks.
@@ichbinbluna3504Plus also because they yell and scream so much, thats sort of the American stereotype here. If theres for example a restaurant and everyone talks at a normal volume and then there's one table that everyone can hear the conversation of: yep those are Americans.
Hi love. Are you doing owt (anything) about the elections in the UK on 4 of July? It would be interesting to hear your take on this, plus general US views. 🙏❤ Also, France has announced a snap election because the far Right (Le Penn) are gathering many votes. Crazy times over here Joel 😊 Sorry this is out of context. X
German food? Go for regional food and not necessarily the stereotypical things many Germans do not eat that regularly as it may seem example is Schweinshaxe. Ask locals what their preferred regional dishes are.
Les Nord-américains sont très réprimés sur beaucoup de choses tout à fait normales en Europe. Boire de l'alcool à n'importe quelle heure, non pas pour se souler mais plutôt pour socialiser, ou bien être complètement nus sur les plages ou aux saunas, choses tout à fait normales et sous-entendues ici en Europe, sans faire pour cela en faire un scandale.
Mett-Brötchen is just gross lol.. but yh, very common in some german regions. Ofc beer o'clock all day - nvr change a running system huh! Only messing, it's not like we having beer for brekkie tf..
Ah OK, i thought you can see a lot at spring break and mardi gras in the USA you cant see in germany, isnt it? To be honest you can see everthing in germany if you know the right places. 😁
It’s not compulsory to embrace everything,,,,,, frankly you should NEVER FEEL pressured into doing something that goes against your principles. ,,,,, now Joel,,,I’m suggesting that you don’t jog around BERLIN,,, with your bum exposed.
The "raw pork" thing is definitely not "normal" (as in "everyone" eats it). I think many people (mostly younger folks and especially girls) find the idea of it disgusting. I myself have never tried it (it's also not like it's available everywhere), but I heard it's delicious and the quality of meat in Germany is obv not a concern. Edit: A study found that around 20-25% of Germans eat raw pork dishes (like Mettbrötchen). Interesting :)
Typical US American movie. Nudity is almost completely banned but violence is shown very clearly.
In the US there is no open carry permit for your private parts!
American freedom. You can get yourself slaughtered for America in foreign countries where Americans have no business being, but if you swim naked on the beach, you will be arrested.
@@macdieter23558nope but US has the biggest porn industry of the world 😂
No clothes in the sauna is for hygienic reasons only. It has nothing to do with the wish to be naked.
this form of being naked is called _functional nudity_ and is not weird. it isn't meant to excite anyone
And safety reasons too.
And it's not a german invention by the way. It's the finnish way.
the concept of beeing naked and not think anything sexual is somehow weird for americans, havent figured out why, but alot of americans ive talked to are very weird when it comes to that.
As a Swede, I would not even think about going into a sauna with clothes on. I might wear a towel around my hips or in my hand, but that is for sitting on. The benches can be hot.

Unless it is a practical joke - we once lured in a true hardrocker with a complete leather outfit, into a sauna. Of course, we bribed him with a lot of icecold beer. He finally got enough, half-fighted his way out - and when we went out later, he stood in the cold shower, with all his leather clothing. It was kind of evil from us, and fair to say, somewhat dangerous (don´t mess around with heatstroke). It ended some days later with a big laugh though (and some completely ruined leather clothes).
It is also true that they for me are very annoying. One could hear these guys from a mile away, and I would definitely avoid them or any similar American. No way, Sherlock.
Nice comparison between a real free nation and the self proclaimed "Land of the free"!
These two guys are so obviously AMERICAN 🇺🇸,,,,,
Two anecdotes:
The mother of a school friend came into the son's room. He changed his trousers in front of me. Not his underpants, but his normal trousers. She was horrified. We laughed and said to her: We do sport together and see each other completely naked three times a week in the communal shower and changing (locker) room.

Instead of fidgeting around in embarrassment, the politician said to the journalist "I guess we'll have to go through this now" and stripped naked to put on his sportswear.
By this I mean: it is the mendacious, mostly religiously induced shame that causes conservative people to behave puritanically in a group.
excellent !
Why is the US so prudish? In Europe, there is much more relaxation around our bodies. Getting dressed for a sauna is odd.
Prudish, exactly. They rather do it secretly. A bit hypocritical imo.
because america is FREEDOM...:D
@@vbp8756 I blame those Putritanical Pilgrims, but surprisingly there are a some Naturists beaches about the east coast.
Bingo!
The irritating thing is that sites like TH-cam and Facebook are controlled by that same prudish culture so you have to avoid showing stuff that would be quite normal on European TV.
Beer at 9 am must be a bavarian thing. It's definitely not the norm here in the Cologne / Duesseldorf area. Even at the weekend I've never heard anyone say "let's have beer for breakfast."
No. It is normal everywhere, but only in the weekend. It is called "Frühschoppen".
Weisswurst, pretzels and weisse beer is a perfectly normal breakfast in Bavaria, but its easy to find across the whole of Germany.
I think, on some occasions like Vatertag or a Frühschoppen on Sunday, etc. it is normal, but if beer is part of your normal breakfast, it definitely is weird in Germany as well.
Where I live, they say: "No beer before four (o'clock)*1". An exception is, for example, Father's Day. Other alcoholic drinks for certain occasions, e.g. Christmas punch on the last working day before the Christmas holidays, mulled wine at Advent markets, sparkling wine when celebrating something ...
*1 In German it rhymes: "Kein Bier vor vier"
Blödsinn
"Mettbrötchen" = Ground pork with onion rings and pepper on a breadroll is legit. We call it "Fireman's Jam / Feuerwehr Marmelade" where I am from. I have eaten it since a young age, love it, and have never heard of anyone having problems with it. It's also a regular staple on building sites. When the owners want to spoil their builders during lunch break, "Bier und Mettbrötchen" is the way to go!
I've kinda never considered it to be raw pork, that thought just did't cross my mind
Where did you find Beavis and the buthead?

The next thing: when pores open wide, and sweat is released that takes out quite a lot of dirt captured in the pores. This is supposed to be trapped in your towel, not in worn clothing. Worn clothing keeps that gunk trapped close to your skin; no clothing allows it to run down into your towel.
That's why you always have TWO towels for the sauna. One for showering and drying off; the other to sit on and capture the sweat.
After taking a sauna trip, you cool off in fresh air, take COLD showers to both rinse off the gunk on your skin, as well as making your pores QUICKLY close again. After that take a dip in REALLY cold water. Now comes the relaxing part: grab your drying off towel or even a third towel, lie down on a beach rest, and relax. Give your body time to acclimate to normal temperatures again; allow it to recuperate because the sauna experience is quite taxing on your metabolism.
Only once you are used to this go into the hotter saunas; don't start off with the hottest just to show off how 'manly' you are. Get used to the less hot ones first; once you can comfortably remain in them for a ten minute stretch you might be ready to advance.
Number 5: true, because the legal age of consent for any kind of s*xual activity in Germany is 16 (unless a dependent is involved, in which it is a no-no). However, even 14 year old teens will not get into trouble IF it is within their age group. Again, definitely not where one of them is the dependent of the other (this would require some VERY strange legal circumstances, btw). It has to be mutually consenting without any form of coercion or pressure. Thus, public displays of affection aren't (legally) frowned upon, thus most people would consider it a lot more rude to interrupt and point out the morals of the situation when it isn't illegal.
I spent an hour in a airport lounge in Tokyo the other day. 7 am. Even I, being German was a little shocked. At least half of the folks were drinking beer.
on dirty clothes: could it also be that people don't want to smell other people's potentially dirty underwear in an enclosed space?
Pork meat is usually not a health problem, since the meat is extremely well checked in Germany. Today, you might easier get a tapeworm from raw beef.
The Mett/raw minced pork is INSANELY regulated and checked. We are talking multiple checks from the delivery of the pig to the butcher throughout the whole production process right to the point it is delivered. Mett HAS to be sold and consumed on the same day. That's the only thing you should be aware of should you ever intend on making your own Mettbrötchen here. Buy it fresh on the same day you are intending to eat it. Do NOT keep it to the next day. A crisp Brötchen/Semmel/Schrippe/Weck = (all equals) bread roll, good butter, a good layer of Mett, diced onions, salt, pepper. That's it. It's also called the Maurermarmelade/ bricklayer's jam as it was so ubiquitously eaten by craftsmen during their late breakfast break; especially on construction sites.
Be safe and heat the meat.
@@palantir135 never eaten Sushi (JP, raw fish), Tatar (FR, raw beef), Carpacchio (IT, raw beef)?
@@mogwai76 I’ve eaten all. I very seldom ate eat raw meat and I stopped eating it. Raw fish doesn’t have as many problems as raw meat and often the fish has been frozen so it’s safe.
We usually make a burger from tartar and grill or bake it.
@@palantir135 Parasite infections happen every now and then with Sushi.
If you get sick bc of a Mettbrötchen you can SUE the butcher as that meat has to be ABSOLUTELY fresh and of high quality !!!
Often the butcher minces the pork meat while you are watching! Most important fact for eating the minced pork meat: It has to be absolutely fresh.
to be fair, we don't always drink beer to get drunk
All this only proves that you are still the descendants of the most puritanical Puritans!
Jeez, they're annoying....
"ADHS durchgespielt" we'd say in Germany.
Land of the Free, yeah of course!
Note: Not every raw pork is safe to be eaten. Mett is extra well inspected/vetted. Don't try this at home, folks. 😊
Also: That "raw" fish in the roll wasn't raw, it was pickled in vinegar or brine.
Hi, Joel! Well, in Germany I know this saying: "Kein Bier vor 4" (no beer before 4 o`clock)!!! In german it is a rhyme, so it sounds good to say "4".
If you found Germans weird and want to connect better than last time: Keep in mind that temperaments differ regionally, not just north and south, town and country, old and young, you name it...
My suggestion is to start with people of similar age and education, maybe hang out 3rd places around some university campus (Heidelberg, Marburg, Leipzig, Berlin, Münster, Duisburg...), but make sure to check out term times or they'll be away.
If you want to try a Mettbrötchen with raw meat, please don‘t make a mistake that some foreigners do:
You do NOT want to buy raw meat in a supermarket. You will better get it from a local butcher, where you will have real fresh good meat! Most of the time, you will find them easier in small cities and on the countryside than in the big cities like Berlin and Hamburg.
While being naked in the sauna or at the FKK beach is normal, walking around naked in Berlin definitely is not!
I wondered about that, too! I‘ve never seen anyone walking around naked in any German city.
Possible exceptions: there have been art happenings involving nudism and certain political protests where people were naked, but it is certainly not a daily occurrence.
He is referring to the KitKat Club in Berlin. For those who don't know, nudity is possible inside and is often practised. The club is known worldwide for this. On the way from the car park to the entrance, some people walk around naked. They leave their clothes in the car.
Er bezieht sich auf den KitKat Club in Berlin. Wer es nicht weiß, aber drinnen ist Nacktheit möglich und wird gerne praktiziert. Der Club ist dafür weltweit bekannt. Auf dem Weg vom Auto (Parkplatz) zum Eingang laufen schon mal einige nackt umher. Sie lassen die Kleidung im Auto.
@@ichbinbluna3504 Ah. Thanks for the enlightenment!
First thought: not ALL Germans do or like all mentioned. It's allowed but is not everyone's cup of tea.
Nude saunas is a very (northern) European thing. Also in NL. It's considered more hygienic. People are very conscious of entering a sauna clean, without clothing.
However, saunas with/for bathing suits also exist, on certain days/times for people who are not able to participate for eg. religious reasons. Never a mix though.
A respectful attitude is paramount and taking photo's where there is nudity is "not done".
The quality of meat and fish is highly regulated so the chance of getting sick is honestly minimal. It's more a matter of liking it or not. Raw meat and fish is an acquired taste. Herring in NL is actually pretty good although I'd never go out of my way to have it. Just not my thing.
Raw meat (tartare) is common in NL. Raw pork I've never seen here.🤔
Beer in the morning is not okay here in NL. You will see it in the afternoon though.
There are definitely differences between European countries, even close neighbours.
Making out in public in NL is more likely around festivals or late at night. Again something we normally don't see here in NL. It's considered common, not chic. You'll probably be told to "get a room". Really! 😅
The beer in the morning thing is actually not totally normal in Germany as well. On some occasions like father's day, where men (most of them are not fathers 😂) go on some sort of "hike" and basically have an all day party, or if you go to a "Frühschoppen" on sunday morning (not that common anymore) it is normal. If you are drinking beer with your friends in the morning, you are not totally drunk and you are not looking like homeless, people will assume you have a day off and a little all day party. But if you are drinking beer on your way to work or beer is a regular part of your breakfast it will be frowned upon. Construction workers used to drink beer throughout the day, but that is also not common and accepted anymore.
Going to the sauna NOT naked is weird😂 usually when you enter a sauna you have a towel around your hips and the use the towel in the sauna to sit on the towel.
I would feel uncomfortable in sauna with something on. Wouldn't feel right
6:52 In Germany, people often jokingly say, "No beer before 4 (4pm)!" When I worked as an intern in a Saxon-Bohemian brewery, there was always a free, freshly tapped beer in the afternoons and evenings when work ended! Afternoon ~ 2pm or 3pm and evening 10pm - 11pm
The origins of all-day drinking is from the time when most water was polluted. Small beer (very low alcohol) was safer. Even kids drank it with breakfast. Btw, a brandy/schnapps/grappa/calvados with one's espresso-style coffee is still common to see in southern Europe at 08:00, on the way to work.
Now do the Netherlands’ Filet Americain, a rawish beef spread - which scares a lot of Americans who come to live over here.
Belgian actually, but yes, agreed & i also suggested this in another comment just now, that stuff is great & hope he tries it next time he visits Germany (im like 99% sure they have it there too)
Interesting to see how prudish a country that has the world's largest porn industry acts.
That probably is why their porn industry is so big.
6:08 Of course Joel is beaming 😂
Funny video. but true. In Europe you have more freedom then in the country of the Free.
Raw pork meant to be eaten raw bought from a german shop does not make you sick. It's fresh and very well controlled. It's meant to be eaten raw! We have ridiculously strict food rules don't worry.
Best would be to buy a prepared one but if you cant: buy a "normales Brötchen" from the bakery, "frisches Mett" from the meat section of a supermarket, an onion and pepper. Put Mett on Brötchen, season with pepper and onion slices.
I'm drooling writing this
German/EU food regulations are strict enough to allow for this kind of food to be safe. don't ever try raw meat or raw milk etc in countries with weak or no food safety regulations. if you cannot trust the food producers and there is not enough government supervision then keep away from it.
US food safety regulations tend to be old and since the public prefers weak government supervision and food producers want to maximise profit over the wellbeing of their customers the US government opted for the safe version by banning all the usual suspects - there is no cheese made of raw milk in the US.

Kein Bier vor Vier.
Nice T-shirt!! :D
The beer thing depends on the region and often the job. But in most cases we say "Kein Bier vor vier" (No beer before 4 (p.m.)).
Missed these dudes haha
Great reaction like always :)
theres another reason for making your own cigarettes - things like volume tobacco actually taste better than bought cigarettes, they are smoother, less dense, they just got a more airy feeling towards them
Concering Rolling Tobacco:
It's not just about the price, for some it can simply be the taste.
The tobacco you prefer may not be available as cigarettes.
Some people prefer the taste of a self rolled (filter or without) and there's also the mini-event of rolling it yourself as opposed to simply taking a cigarette out of a box.
Kind of like drinking a beer out of a bottle or can as opposed to pouring it into a proper glass first.
Minor things maybe, but it's all down to individual preference.
Having a beer at 9 am?
If someone's on leave, holiday or it's party/festival time then sure, why not?
If they do it on a regular basis then they're either addicted and/or don't have or need a driving licence 😀
Edit:
People kissing in public is a shocker?
Damn, just imagine they had been in Berlin or Hamburg seeing people actually bonking! 😆
I used to work in a company who offered beer during working hours 🤣.
Did you know? When German men swim in the North Sea, they don't measure water temperature by degrees Celsius but by centimeters.
🤣
1.) It depends on where you go to the sauna and what rules apply there. I you don't know just ask for the rules.
It is not weird to be asked to undress when you are the only one who is not naked.
2.) Minced pork for onion mince must be freshly prepared for raw consumption or preserved as an industrially produced product with nitrite curing.
However, the fish roll is not usually made with raw fish. The fish is usually pickled, marinated, fermented, cooked or smoked.
But Sushi is a trend here.
In Bavaria we call it "Weisswurst Frühstück" with Weissbier, Brezn, and Weisswurst .... and it happens before lunch
Usually on sundays after church. Or nowadays often instead of.
4:43 With your hands, probably not with a meat grinder, and not with pure meat either, but with egg, onion cubes, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, all mixed together (with gloves or a fork) and left to soak in for a few minutes and then on bread! But do you or your compatriots eat steak tartar? And since you mentioned sushi, that's not without its worms either!
Anisakiasis is a disease caused by roundworms. There are three types of roundworms known in fish. The species Anisakis simplex gave the disease its name. The roundworm can be found in raw fish, for example sushi or herring.
You can easily prevent an infection with Anisakis: Heat crabs and sea fish sufficiently before eating them, and avoid eating raw fish that has not been frozen. The larvae die at temperatures above 60 °C or below -20 °C.11.12.2023
Raw meat can be eaten in Germany. Because our hygenic standards are much better than inn the US. The meat is controlled. It is safe to eat. I had it since I was a small child and I have never become ill from eating raw pork with onions on a roll. It is delicious...
Hello Joel. I did have raw sausage meat as a kid in UK, but back then you knew the butcher and trusted where meat came from. I could not imagine it today. I also would no longer want fish on the underdone side. I am not one for the idea of walking round with no clothes. You could get hypothermia in summer in my native Bradford. As for rolling cigarettes, it was not uncommon there, though I never smoked. However I was known to start drinking at lunch on days off when younger. Meeting pals for a pie and a pint for lunch in the local pub, home for tea, then back out later in the evening was normal, but not as intense as in Germany I reckon. However the servers in the supermarket in Texas could not believe how many beers we would stack in the van and Texans are supposed to like a beer.
Actually, the amount and time for beer differ regionally in Germany, in the north and west is an evening/after work/weekend-BBQ thing. And not every adult drinks beer. - My experience as student in Hessen and Yorkshire: There was no great difference, only the English had to start earlier because of last order... The English maybe frequented a little more, to my personal experience.
8:03 not me smoking a rolled cigarette now atm😂
Well with regards to nudity in the sauna, the British don’t do nudity in public spaces as a rule. Whenever we’ve been to Germany or Austria we get very odd looks from the natives when wearing shorts in the sauna, tbf to the Germans whilst receiving looks of disapproval we’ve never been told to remove our shorts. Maybe the not doing nudity in public is a throwback to thier Anglo-Saxon roots.
Interesting!! 🇨🇦
I used to smoke (thankfully I quit). But got to say that rolling tabacco at least in Spain is also better than the one in the cigarettes.
I feel what they say about Germany is mostly if not totally can be applied to all Europe
Even Germans don't walk naked on the streets (I think). The sauna is a different thing. You sweat a lot there ... why would you wear anything. There are only 2 types of people (well, nowadays in the USA there are 1000s, but normally there are two) and nobody cares how anyone looks. That's the charm of a sauna to me. In the USA nudity means sex; in Europe it just means no cloths.
So, you are coming to Germany again. Awesome!
I'm looking forward to the videos.
Any plans yet?
A bag of tobacco and the roll of paper reminds me of that one ‘Tom and Jerry’ episode
The food hygiene standards in the EU are really good, so pork is probably okay!
Raw meat is not that prevalent. I believe they are talking about "Mett", essentially raw meat mixed with raw onions. And it is particularly popular in the Cologne area. Where I'm from (northern Bavaria), we rarely eat raw meat (except for Sushi, which is not German food). As for FKK: this is particularly popular in east Germany. But saunas are all-naked in whole of Germany, that is true. But it is nothing sexual, and as you say, it is not weird when it is the norm. It was weird for me too, when I want to a sauna for the first time, but you get used to it pretty quickly. And outside FKK areas you will not see all-naked people. You are not even allowed to be naked elsewehere. It is considered an offense and you will be fined for it.
3:57 I have even seen people refusing to swim naked in a lake that is designated as a nudist beach, or people who were surprised at the entrance that it said nudist! Normally, people who don't follow the house rules should be thrown out! For example, bathers who wear trousers in normal textile beaches but wear cotton ones instead of swimming trunks made of polyester, for example! 🤨😠
Being nude in saunas is pretty common in a lot of countries not only in Germany. America is the biggest porn producing country in the world yet they freak out seeing someone nude in a sauna or a woman topless at the beach. Raw meat is not only in Germany. They have in The Netherlands as well. Strangely enough it is called Filet Americain. It is a big hit at birtday parties and no you dont get sick of these kind of raw meats. Otherwise it would be illegal for supermarkets to sell it.
In the Netherlands we eat raw meat but it's beef and not pork like in Germany.
The USA praise their "freedom of speech" and all you hear in videos and TV is beep, beep, beep, ...
Oh, please don't take pictures or movies at saunas and FKK beaches. 😂
If someone is looking at a phone, how do you tell whether they are watching a video or making a video?
@@Phiyedough so, first: Phones are forbidden in German spas. For a very good reason.
Second, I see in this video they were recording a video on FKK beach. That's why I said that. Don't do it. You are seriously violating other peoples' rights. Even if you plan to blur them.
Additionally, while often acceptable in US and called freedom, it is not generalky allowed in Germanyto film other people. Even wearing clothes.
Fischbrötchen aren't made with raw fish! Either the fish is pickled (like the sour Bismarckherring) oder smoked or it's fermented (Matjes). It always seems really really odd to me that the same people who love raw fish (Sushi) are at the same time disgusted when it comes to raw pig meat (Mett). Both just have to be fresh and everything is allright.
Having no clothes on: THAT'S UNNATURAL! ;)
Can we expect to see you try all this in your videos this summer?
I'm Austrian and I also roll my cigarettes myself.
The USA is a bit prudish, if a couple in Germany ore Europe are together in a normal feature film , you might see them totaly naked on Tv. 😅Here it is normal.
my edc: tabbacko, papers and filters :D
Germans have a different kind of freedom.
Why would anyone want to go to the sauna with their clothes on? Towel to sit on, some people also wrap it around their hips. You Americans probably faint when it comes to a mixed sauna 😂😂
Such prudes!
Bavarian Breakfast (!) includes beer! Sunday morning, 9 am, ... a beer? Why not? ^^+gg *prost
Oh! And Mettbröchten (raw pork) is delicious as ... try it! You'll love it!
P.S.: I am currently wearing the same Pink Floyd shirt as you right now! :)
Akshually, the fish shown in the video is not raw. It is conserved in acid-y, vinegar-y stuff which 'cooks' the proteins. For raw fish, go for the Dutch 'haring' (herring). (Which is akshually slightly fermented. 😂)
Also. Germany is probably the LEAST likely place to get sick eating. Anything available is pretty dang hard regulated and controlled.

These two were fun at the beginning but turned out to promote religion and strict morals from a certain point.. and it was not well received in Germany… we are as strict with not wanting that.. nothing wrong with being religious but here it’s more a private thing. It felt completely awkward what they did…. nudity is not an issue in many parts of Europe not just Germany. Look at European movies. Nudity is nothing special.
Hi there, greetings from Germany! I Like your chanel and your open mind!
Nudity, to be honest, thats biological normal. What is the difference between a naked chest and a naked butt??? It belongs to your body! To be sarcastic, God created humans, why do they have to hide themselves behind clothes? And when you see more naked skin it get's pretty normal and no one is so interested in seeing more.
The beer thing is based on middle ages bad water conditions where beer has been the most clean drink at all. If you learn to handle alcohol at younger age you experience your limits and learn to enjoy beer. Ok, you always have some dudes who want to shoot their lights out. But the great majority consumes not to much.
And the last thing is "making out" What is more romantic than giving your partner a kiss, when your feel for it. Imagine your have to hide before you can kiss the partner, so noone could see you. Honestly when you are overwhelmed by your feelings and tell your partner that you love him/her/whatever and just kiss! Who cares about other people? Enjoy this moment, cause it never comes back.
Dumb and low minded are those who laugh about foreign habits because they do not understand it. The problem is, when you are told you are the best and your country is the best, then you see other countries habits as wrong or backward (right word?). The same from here, how is it possible to deny science (Charles Darwin) as thinking individuums and teach history as written in the bible (which is - by the way - written by human beings)? Take this as an example. And how do we progress? Not by doing thing as they were done for a long time. No we progress by questioning current "laws". Is the earth really center of the universe? Surprise, surprise we are standard and insignificant (important only in our own bubble).
I hope you keep on being open minded, because you can learn so much even about yourself. And always question what you have been told, there is not only one (correct) opinion
raw meat is very common over here! some people eat mettbrötchen (raw meat on bread) every day for breakfast 😂
I have the feeling rolling cigarettes should be normal in America as well. It probably even originated from there if you think about it. I mean didn't Cowboys roll their cigarettes all the time?
espiacialy Weissbier counts as a foodgroup😁
that with cigarettes you can see also in Belgium, i dont know why taking only Germany like example? like i sonly one country in Europe...
people roll their own cigarettes because of the price of cigarettes. It is much cheaper.
If you feel uncomfortable with being naked in a sauna, you can get sum sort of towel- belt that covers the nost private areas
There are also sum extra' women- sauna days, for those who dont wanna share their privacy with men

Its not me being naked, but a bunch of naked strangers, that surround me, which is kinda awkward
I also drink beer this early but it has to be a nice light, creamy, lightly fruity beer.
After lunch, around 2 p.m, I drink little more bitter beer.
I couldn't drink a dark or bitter beer so early.
I drink approximately
500ml-1l throughout the day.
Some days nothing or more.
With all due respect etc, drink less, a 9am beer is not acceptable anywhere & you know it.

Al-tough us Dutchies and Germans share a lot in our cultures, we're absolutely not the same ! Making out in public; yes sure of course no problem! rolling our own cigarettes from tobacco (which we call Shag in The Netherlands), yes of course! And by the way; that pouch of Shag called Samsom tobacco is a Dutch make ! So Germans smoke a lot Dutch Shag, just like the Dutch do. And if you are really for it: Get a pouch of Zware Van Nelle Shag (Dutch as well) so Heavy Shag ! and let me know what your thoughts are. Nude in a Sauna, well yes of course. It is illegal to wear clothes in a Sauna since it is non hygienic . Drinking Beer, sure of course, but the Germans do this in overdrive in comparison with The Dutch. In General the Dutch do not drink beer in the morning I'd say. after luch though on a nice hot sunny day on a terrace....yeah the beer will flow on a gentle pase. Raw pork though...? I even did not know this exsited.... so no I don't think this is done here in The Netherlands as well, but then again, this is as far as I know... so who knows...

Quote of the Day: “The pork culture here is large.”
Mettwurst 4ever. We only rlly eat raw pork through Mettwurst. Btw, rolling ur own ones instead of prerolled is much cheaper
The "raw pork" thing is definitely not "normal" (as in "everyone" eats it). I think many people (mostly younger folks and especially girls) find the idea of it disgusting. I myself have never tried it (it's also not like it's available everywhere), but I heard it's delicious and the quality of meat in Germany is obv not a concern.
Edit: A study found that around 20-25% of Germans eat raw pork dishes (like Mettbrötchen). Interesting :)
my whole family grew up eating raw meat on brötchen all the time, including both the girls and boys. and you can find raw meat at every supermarket 😭
Kein Bier vor vier! No beer before 4 pm... or am?
