Speaking about dumb warnings on products, I want to remind everybody that Red Bull was sued in 2013 and had to pay 13,000,000$ because Red Bull doesn't actually give you wings. In Germany the judge would strait up laugh at you.
I remember this case... I mean I know someone who sued a restaurant because she ate her chili that she ordered in a drive thru and it burnt her tongue. She said since the writing was half rubbed off she did not know it was hot or that she should be warned -_-
It was a settlement before the case made it into court. Still, 13 million. "“Red Bull settled the lawsuit to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation,” a spokesman said" More details on google or here: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11155731/13m-lawsuit-proves-Red-Bull-doesnt-give-you-wings.html
"..I miss organisation and rules..." Yesssss! That's it, you are one of us now! Mua-huh-huh-huh! (I'm not German, actually, but we have a saying that is equivalent of "Ordnung muss sein!")
I feel you regarding the door knobs. I hate them as well and love our German door handles. A friend of mine lives in Australia for 5 years now and two or three years ago he bought a flat down there. As soon as he got the legal title for this flat, he texted me, if i‘d be so friendly to go to Obi and pick up a order he just placed and mail it to him. He had ordered handles for eight doors to replace the stupid door knobs.
Izzy Kat But you‘ve read, that i‘m talking about Australia, right? Maybe you can‘t get them down there or they‘re so expensive, that it‘s cheaper to have them sent from Germany. I can only tell you, that this happened exactly like this.
Hayley Alexis yes I also understand the door knob issue..... - on the other hand door knobs look so much more elegant... and stylish (well, of course matter of taste...)
The reason why door handles are everywhere in Germany is because any registered building has to pass fire regulations. If there's a fire, door handles are MUCH safer than door knobs, so door handles are pretty much a must in almost all buildings (maybe with some exceptions, I'm not sure) - certainly doors that separate rooms INSIDE a building. The only door knobs I can think of are those on the outside of the entrance door to your house/apartment/office. All doors inside a building usually have door handles. In a burning building you can still push down a steaming hot door handle with any object you have in the room, and open the door quite easily - use a stick, a chair, a shoe, a bag, literally anything. If that's a steaming hot door knob on the other hand, you'll have more trouble. You could take a piece of fabric, pee on it, wrap it around your hand, and then try to turn the knob. You might still burn your hand though. You could also try using 2 shoes, one in each hand (or one ON each hand), clasp the door knob and try to turn it. Not sure if that would work, but you might manage. You get the idea, door handles are the safer choice in case of a fire scenario, because you're still able to open doors with red-hot handles.

YES, I’m from Germany but I’m currently doing an exchange year in Arizona & I miss the exact same things (+ more like bread)! The recycling/ waste in the US truly is horrible and all the cars & bad public transportation. I’m only 16 but my parents always showed me how important it is to take care of our environment & I think (not all but many) Americans don’t do that..
Hey hey, nice video, and interesting to hear differences between US and GER from a person who has the ability to compare. But I was surprised when you told about the car traffic in Germany. How mad do you drive in the US if you feel safe on German roads? Have you ever taken your way over the Autobahn? Right, Germans do follow the rules a lot, maybe more than other peoples, but as soon as we enter our cars - WE ARE EVIL! :D The more hp a car has, the more evil behavoiur. Ignoring the speed limits, driving much too fast and too close, overtaking at every possible place, no matter if you see 200 m or only 50 m... I thought in US the car traffic would be much more safe as everyone respects speed limits and rules due to high penalties. - Also interesting your point with the door knobs - something we don't even think about that this could be done different than we do in Germany, I think all over Europe. So much more I could comment ;) Thanks for this vid where I could learn a lot about the American point of view.
Love your video! ! I'm also American, and have lived in Germany for decades because I much prefer the health care system, public transport and so many other things we have here, that the US do not. When I go back there to visit my parents, I feel a bit like a fish out of water, because I'm out of step with the latest news and trends, don't know the procedures for a lot of official stuff, and most especially, don't feel nearly as safe in public as I do here. Plus, I tend to slip Germanisms into my English without being aware of it. That usually gets me some odd looks😁! As much as America is a kind of melting pot, I must say that I have many more good friends from around the world here in Germany than I would probably have ever met had I stayed in the US. Thanks again, and keep up the good work! 😀
A friend of mine sent me a video he took in New York. He was at McD and there were different bins for the trash. And when the McD guy came, he took all the stuff out and put it into one bag. So why are there different bins?
In German Mcd they take this very serious. Everything gets sorted out very carefully. They also safe money. Because garbage that is sorted out is a lot cheaper or sometimes free to recycle in Germany. (paper for example)
One note on restaurants, though: If you come to a crowded restaurant in Germany, it is likely to happen that the host asks you whether it's okay for you to take seat at a table that is already partially occupied. It's your option to accept or decline, and if the folks at said table don't object, either, you can have a seat there. That also opens up some opportunities to get to know other people whom you wouldn't have met otherwise.
It’s awesome that’s you’ve become “Germanized”. Im learning German and considering a month long trip there. No tourism, more seeing daily life stuff. Great stuff, nice vid. 👍
The strict seperation of customers in restaurants in the US has something to do with the fact that servicepeople do not really get payed by the business. They have to rely on the tip customers give. In Germany, evryone employed gets payed by the employer, including the healthinsurance etc. (If you make less then €450 / month, it is slightly different, but you still get payed by your employer). Tips are a real "extra" for sevicepersonell.
Die Warnhinweise auf den Produkten sind nicht weil die Industrie die Amis für doof halten,sondern um sich vor Gerichtsklagen zu schützen.Das Amerikanische Klagerecht gibt dem Konsumenten uneingeschränkte Möglichkeiten.
@dido7427 Das ist in der Essenz genau das Gleiche. Denn es gehört schon ein gerütteltes Maß an Dummheit dazu, eine Katze zum Haaretrocknen in den Wäschetrockner zu stecken und dann die Herstellerfirma zu verklagen, dass man nicht ausreichend informiert wurde, wenn die Katze das nicht überlebt. Man verklagt im Grunde nämlich damit die Herstellerfirma dafür, dass sie die die Dummheit ihrer Kunden nicht berücksichtigt hat. Was Anderes - als die Dummheit des Kunden - veranlasst eine Herstellerfirma denn sonst, leere Seiten in einer Bedienanleitung mit dem Satz zu kennzeichnen, "This page is intentionally left blank"???
Es ist schon wirklich traurig. Da kann eine Firma für küchengeräte auf Milliarden von Dollar verklagt werden und das nur weil sie nicht im Traum daran gedacht hätten, dass irgendwer auf die Idee kommen könnten seine Katze in die gefriertruhe zu stopfen wenn sie Fieber hat. Oder auch wenn auf der Mikrowelle steht keine Meerschweinchen reinstellen, dann mach ich es halt mit nem Hasen, der steht schließlich nicht drauf. Ich sag nur Überraschungseier!!!🙈👏🤔🙇
jaredroteblume also ist schon sehr lange her, aber die Tochter (6 - 8 Jahre) von Bekannten hatte Hasen mit Jungen und es war noch sehr kalt. Sie hat bemerkt die Kleinen zittern und um sie zu wärmen dann in die Mikro gesteckt. Sie war am Boden zerstört, denn sie hat halt nur gelernt, dass wenn du was reinstellen das danach dann warm raus kommt. Also bei manchen Sachen ist es gar nicht so schlecht wenn die in der Gebrauchsanweisung drinstehen. Auch wenn ich jetzt nicht denke, dass es in diesem Fall geholfen hätte.
mag sein, aber ich bezweifle stark, dass die Kleine die Anleitung gelesen hätte, falls eine solche dabei gewesen wäre. Also doch Blödsinn mit diesen vielen Warnhinweisen.
My wife is also from the states. For eight years, she told her parents, she won't return, because she was afraid of getting homesick and not returning. Last year, we went to visit them for thanksgiving, and she was alwyas feeling like an alien and wanted to get home. Btw: Things she missed the most. Real stone walls, beer and beeing able to see a topless woman on regular TV without anyone getting offended by it.
as a german: I really don't understand door knobs. I have encountered these things and sometimes the room was a bathroom or something. Try turning a doorknob with wet hands or with your ellbow of you don't want a full blow of germs from other people who touched it. Those things are straight from hell.
Some people with small children put plastic slider balls on the door knobs. These have to be squeezed hard to turn the knobs and prevents the children from opening the doors where there might be stairs or hazardous objects. I lived in Europe 20 years ago and I only saw differences with new doors and windows, which there are some in the US too, but everything else seemed about the same as in the US to me. In Italy there were electronic locks I didn't see in Belgium and Belgium has home windows at street level and Italy does not.
I have nothing to do with Germany or US, but I love to watch videos of people living abroad and how they change. I'm from Estonia, lived in Italy for 9yrs and now 3 yrs in Bulgaria and it just changes you and opens your eyes so much more. In the beginning I was against everything Italian and now in ways I feel more Italian that Estoninan :P
Although I‘ve never been to the US I feel this video. My mom grew up in Turkey, my dad grew up in Germany & we live in Germany, too. So when we go to Turkey in summer after a while I start missing Germany bc I miss the way we do some things here but also, the other way around I miss Turkey sometimes bc of the way some things are done in Turkey lmao. I guess it‘s a never ending cycle living in one country but knowing how things are done in another country & being torn between loving both countries but not loving both ways of doing the same thing.
To be fair there are technological solutions to this now that would make separating waste unnecessary. It just costs a lot more money to have a facility that separates the waste so that the company receiving the waste can then recycle it. Might be a decent solution for the US though if the general public is less willing to participate.
To an extend. You should still separate wet trash, wet compostable trash and the rest, because they are just hard to impossible to separate for obvious reasons. All the rest could go into one bin but for some things it is probably more practical to separate directry, e.g. you get much more paper into the paper bin if you do not mix it with other stuff.
And it is btw. not even close to Rwanda .... they don't even use plastic bags ... they're just forbidden by strict laws. We still sell/export our plastic waste to African countries and boast at the same time about our
Great quality video girly!!! You look great 👍 (your beautiful anyway) but ya know what I mean. 😊 great to see you again!! Love your content my bf lives in Germany and I’ll be going over in just 4 short weeks!! Yay
I really can't understand either that a nation that builds cars, rockets, and computers can't make windows that you can open and close in one simple move with one hand only. That is so ridiculous.
We can. We just choose to include a state in between "open" and "closed" so that foreign nationals can find it confusing. Why? Because we can. That's German Engineering for you, at ist best. :)
If you visit Germany, and you do see a door with a knob, don't try to turn it. Doors with knobs need a key to open them, the knob is just something to pull on while holding the lock open with the key.
Lol, until your video I had no clue that our windows and doors are special! :D So thank you for your beautiful and very kind video. And welcome to Germany :)
Hayley you are so ADORABLE, your videos are very informative, thank you. Our oldest has decided to study abroad (Germany) so, the entire family of 5 decided to move along to have this exciting experience as a family (and I have another college kid coming up)...Your blog is helping much and I`m at ease, excited and can`t wait for this future adventure...Thank you so much. BTW, we`re from South Florida too....
Hayley, there are "people" in the USA who spend their lives looking for any easy way to "get over." There are attorneys who will take "any" case.... "SHAKE MANY TREES, SOMETHING MAY FALL OUT" Some states have laws against the abuse of the legal system but not very many. There are entire law firms who only seek out cases where some provider or manufacturer didn't protect an idiot from him/herself.... If you ever purchase a ladder in the USA there will be a warning to not place the feet in cow crap...(someone won a landmark case after being injured after he placed the ladder in frozen cow crap. He was working on the barn early in the morning and when the sun got high enough, the cow crap melted, the ladder slipped and he broke his back. The ladder manufacturer had to PAY BIG... Now all ladders have to carry a written warning.
So crazy to me... It should be illegal.. If I were a manufacturer and someone sued me for their stupidity, I would counter sue them for wasting my time on their stupidity.
+Vernon Berry BTW, what warnings do guns bear on them? Or it's just impossible to win in a case of "OMG, I shot someone, because there was no warning on that thing, and I didn't know that can happen!" case against gun manufacturers and NRA?
I'm from Luxembourg (near germany) and i recently went to the united states for vacation and I agree with all of your points that you've mentioned, I enjoied the Us very much but my heart is always gonna stay in europe
If you know the story, behind the hot coffee, it makes sense. They sold coffee so hot, it was nearly boiling, which they did to make sure the coffee would be still warm, when you drive in your car to work or wherever you go. In that case it sadly spilled over half an old ladies body, who got 2nd degree burn, she needed treatment for a year. That coffee had been simply too hot. And she sued just so they would pay her 6 digit invoice for the treatments. As far as I know, they did reduce the temperature to reduce risks and added the line on their cups, which you'll find on German McDonald's cups as well.
9:02 In some coffee shops in America you try to be environmentally friendly and bring your own mug. They make the coffee in the disposable cup and THEN pour it into the mug you brought. They're not allowed to just use your mug - so you still use the same amount of plastic.
I just discovered your channel. I like the soft way you're talking about your experiences. It's really funny how you are mixing up Englisch and German. I remember having a friend of mine from the US living at my apartment for two weeks and I was doing the same while I was talking English with her. :D
The rolling R is something you can hear in Bavaria and Austria, however, not all Bavarians pronounce it "rolling". Its also heard in parts of Northern Germany (coast)
I work at Starbucks in Germany and in the past we were NOT allowed to give out the drink without the lid on top, reasoning was that there were many incidents (in America) were people accidentally spilled drinks on themselves (I guess mostly hot drinks 🤷♀️ ) because the lid was missing and therefore sued Starbucks. pretty silly in my opinion but now Starbucks Germany is not part of the American Starbucks company anymore so the rules are not the same. btw I like how you slipped German words like "Rücksicht" and "pass auf" in between your speech, it was funny 😂
IIRC peanuts and nut allergies are separate things. (because peanuts aren't technically nuts) So in that sense listing nut allergies on peanuts makes sense if it for example is made in a factory that also processes nuts.
Peanuts aren't nuts. If you are alergic to nuts, you can eat peanuts and if you are alergic to peanuts you can eat walnuts, except you are alergic to both of them^^
Yes, I did not want to offend you. Just wanted to explain it. It's something a lot of people don't know. I only know it because a friend of mine is alergic to nuts and he eats peanuts a lot.
Nuts and peanuts are sometimes handled at the same places. It may then be possible that a nut ends up in a package of peanuts and vice versa. That is the reason for warnings like "This product contains trace amounts of nuts/peanuts". In most cases there is not much risk, but if something happens, they can say that there was a warning.
The recycle thing is so painful. I got used to recycling in Germany, but in my country, the recycling is almost impossible because the garbage system is just a mess.
Regarding traffic rules - I had my mind entirely changed regarding 'rules' for traffic when I spent some weeks in England and had to drive there - I did everything wrong I could do, even exiting a roundabout on the motor way the wrong way and suddenly there were cars coming towards me on all lanes - in Germany, you would probably have 5 cars crash into you at a speed of at least 150km/h, and afterwards be beaten up (ok, since you would be dead, it would not matter any more I guess). In England, nobody ever even honked at me - they just drove 'ruecksichstsvoll' and gave way - I never saw anybody get upset or the likes. Later on our landlord explained us that e.g. on crossroads there simply is no rule how has to get first ( in Germany we have 'rechts-vor-links') - this way everybody drives more reluctant and takes care for the other drivers not to get hit. I loved that experience, and ever since I am really annoyed about our abundance of traffic rules on the one hand and German drivers being pissed off for the slightest reason ...
In the US, I always remembered "righty tighty, lefty loose-y" when I lock and unlock doors and it's taken me a long time to figure out how locking and unlocking doors works in Germany!
The same is for doors..it depends what the door is used for..the standart norm is a door must stand against fire for a amount of time..it must be easy to open in panic situations and must be relative burglar safe.
Hello Hayley, long story short: USA Law system -> think people stupid and so explain everything, like " don't leave the driver's seat to cook coffee during driving" Germany Law system -> build on common sense, it's the people fault if they don't think first Thats the different
Okay, this video was spot on. I am an American living near Seattle and have visited friends in Germany several times. After returning home each time I have also had these same "struggles" with the differences. The only one I haven't experienced is the direction of locks. In my home and workplaces it is not backwards. The window one though! I relate so much. I have often wondered about how I can get those windows here in America.
in germany theres also section for the waiters. its open so that guest can enjoy there day or evening withouth feeling instructed. they do have a system, they do ask about no. of guest n all, but in germany a guest can realy enjoy the hole evening as he wishes not as the restaurant wishes.
Hey, fun fact Hayley - my father fully imported and installed German windows for our house in Colorado precisely because of what you talked about here. German windows are just SMARTER. Better insulated too, so energy-saving. So are door handles. You can open those with your elbow even when your hands are full of groceries or other stuff.
Quote 10:08 "your german'nes" Sounds like you got sick in Germany. LOL We are no sickness - we are effective :P I just like - that you like us here in our little munich. Have fun and thanks for sharing Hayley
We do have operable windows here in the US that "kip" which you can operate simultaneously as tilting or swinging with the turn of the handle, but perhaps it's where you've lived in the US and the age of your building. They are definitely installed in new buildings in NY and CA where I've lived. Same goes for door handles - in fact I almost never come across door knobs anymore in the US. Even growing up, my house had door handles. Architects almost never specify door knobs because they are hard to grip, and they are illegal in many cases in public buildings. There are many differences between germany and america, but these things aren't some of them.
I totally understand all the points. I grew up in Germany and live now in the states as an aupair. When I came to the states idk how often I looked myself out bc of the doornobs. Haha and the Windows. I was literally asking if you can open the windows. Shoook, wtf! 😂
In regards to the allergy warning, some people don’t know that food processing locations usually process more than one kind of food or contain other ingredients that can induce a severe allergic reaction. So that’s fair. Your product may contain no nuts, but some ingredients may be produced in a location where nuts are also being processed or used. Even though the chance of an allergic reaction may be low, they still want to warn people.
And sometimes they can market a product a certain way, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is 100%. We have a lot of artificial flavors and MSG in our food. So something may say “almond milk,” but for all you know it could be almond flavor or essence. It might seem redundant, but some products are not blatantly honest the way they are marketed. Like how they say something is 0% trans fat. That could just be PER serving. If you have more than one serving you could be consuming a quantifiable amount of trans fats.
Welcome to Germany🖐❤I love your humor and your English/German mixed words 😂 total süß wie begeistert du von Deutschland bist und schön dass es dir hier gefällt. And by the way you and Mike should visit Freiburg haha its a great place in Germany 😉
Actually per capita both India and China use nothing close to the resources the US does, and their per capita use is almost negligible in comparison. They just have huge populations so it adds up that way. But the US are indeed champions of resource waste! Close behind are Canadians (and I say that as a Canadian).
I knew someone would comment on it... I honestly had no idea. I was just assuming since they have a lot more people they might have a lot more waste... I actually thought the USA would be first but I was a little hesitant when almost one third of the population are in those countries.
After viewing your video, I checked our carton of eggs right away to see if there's a warning about it containing egg products and I didn't see any warning. Checked the milk and nut packaging as well. No warning!! Whew!!! We're still okay up here in Canada. 😊
I think there are just regulations that require that all foods list any allergens. Obviously its redundant for a food that is only one ingredient but rules apply to anything
That moment, when you have trouble with your native tongue :). I had it too when I got back from Australia and I said stuff like "gewisst" instead of "gewusst" or it took me quite a while to actually understand things. So that was quite funny
There ARE warnings on german food, esp. when you buy nuts. BUT they don't warn you about the nuts you bought. Say, you bought peanuts, then the warning says "could contain traces of (other) nuts" or "could contain traces of hazelnuts" because the company also sells other nuts and there is a possiblity that you could eat something that could cause an allergic shock
Speaking about dumb warnings on products, I want to remind everybody that Red Bull was sued in 2013 and had to pay 13,000,000$ because Red Bull doesn't actually give you wings. In Germany the judge would strait up laugh at you.
TheTerrorHamster OMG wished I would've come up with this idea!
Actually, it would've never made it into court.

You tricky Germans... Maybe invite a few friends over to have a lightbulb party :p
We make party of anything. Tupperware, light bulbs, candles...
MrKunzoc….The right answer is 3 Germans. Because Germany is so social that one holds the bulb and two turn the ladder so that 3 people are employed.

As much as America is a kind of melting pot, I must say that I have many more good friends from around the world here in Germany than I would probably have ever met had I stayed in the US. Thanks again, and keep up the good work! 😀
A friend of mine sent me a video he took in New York. He was at McD and there were different bins for the trash. And when the McD guy came, he took all the stuff out and put it into one bag. So why are there different bins?
Most people don’t recycle and don’t care about recycling and think it’s an inconvenience
Seems so, but in that case they don't need the extra bins
Maybe they are legally required to have different bins but no one cares if they really recycle.
In German Mcd they take this very serious. Everything gets sorted out very carefully.
They also safe money. Because garbage that is sorted out is a lot cheaper or sometimes free to recycle in Germany. (paper for example)
@Tida Yeah, might be
One note on restaurants, though: If you come to a crowded restaurant in Germany, it is likely to happen that the host asks you whether it's okay for you to take seat at a table that is already partially occupied. It's your option to accept or decline, and if the folks at said table don't object, either, you can have a seat there. That also opens up some opportunities to get to know other people whom you wouldn't have met otherwise.
It’s awesome that’s you’ve become “Germanized”. Im learning German and considering a month long trip there. No tourism, more seeing daily life stuff. Great stuff, nice vid. 👍
The strict seperation of customers in restaurants in the US has something to do with the fact that servicepeople do not really get payed by the business. They have to rely on the tip customers give.
In Germany, evryone employed gets payed by the employer, including the healthinsurance etc. (If you make less then €450 / month, it is slightly different, but you still get payed by your employer). Tips are a real "extra" for sevicepersonell.
Die Warnhinweise auf den Produkten sind nicht weil die Industrie die Amis für doof halten,sondern um sich vor Gerichtsklagen zu schützen.Das Amerikanische Klagerecht gibt dem Konsumenten uneingeschränkte Möglichkeiten.
@dido7427
Das ist in der Essenz genau das Gleiche. Denn es gehört schon ein gerütteltes Maß an Dummheit dazu, eine Katze zum Haaretrocknen in den Wäschetrockner zu stecken und dann die Herstellerfirma zu verklagen, dass man nicht ausreichend informiert wurde, wenn die Katze das nicht überlebt. Man verklagt im Grunde nämlich damit die Herstellerfirma dafür, dass sie die die Dummheit ihrer Kunden nicht berücksichtigt hat.
Was Anderes - als die Dummheit des Kunden - veranlasst eine Herstellerfirma denn sonst, leere Seiten in einer Bedienanleitung mit dem Satz zu kennzeichnen, "This page is intentionally left blank"???
Pearly Humbucker Damit der Praktikant in der Druckerei die leeren Seiten nicht als Qualitätsproblem deutet.
Es ist schon wirklich traurig. Da kann eine Firma für küchengeräte auf Milliarden von Dollar verklagt werden und das nur weil sie nicht im Traum daran gedacht hätten, dass irgendwer auf die Idee kommen könnten seine Katze in die gefriertruhe zu stopfen wenn sie Fieber hat. Oder auch wenn auf der Mikrowelle steht keine Meerschweinchen reinstellen, dann mach ich es halt mit nem Hasen, der steht schließlich nicht drauf. Ich sag nur Überraschungseier!!!🙈👏🤔🙇
jaredroteblume also ist schon sehr lange her, aber die Tochter (6 - 8 Jahre) von Bekannten hatte Hasen mit Jungen und es war noch sehr kalt. Sie hat bemerkt die Kleinen zittern und um sie zu wärmen dann in die Mikro gesteckt. Sie war am Boden zerstört, denn sie hat halt nur gelernt, dass wenn du was reinstellen das danach dann warm raus kommt. Also bei manchen Sachen ist es gar nicht so schlecht wenn die in der Gebrauchsanweisung drinstehen. Auch wenn ich jetzt nicht denke, dass es in diesem Fall geholfen hätte.
mag sein, aber ich bezweifle stark, dass die Kleine die Anleitung gelesen hätte, falls eine solche dabei gewesen wäre. Also doch Blödsinn mit diesen vielen Warnhinweisen.
I'm Munich born, have an american husband. I can so relate to what you talk about. Love your videos.
The main advantage of door handles to me is that you can use your elbow or foot even to open a door if you happen to carry stuff with both hands.
Here in Brussels, you can bring your own travel mug to the coffee place and have it filled to-go.
I don't mind the angle. I'm here for the Angel
:D and I am always here MUAHAHAHA
we did it ! she's germanized^^ sorry donald^^
If I could, I would personally give him my passport LOL but Angela Merkel won't call me back and give me my German citizenship :p
My wife is also from the states. For eight years, she told her parents, she won't return, because she was afraid of getting homesick and not returning. Last year, we went to visit them for thanksgiving, and she was alwyas feeling like an alien and wanted to get home.
Btw: Things she missed the most. Real stone walls, beer and beeing able to see a topless woman on regular TV without anyone getting offended by it.
Many things you said here about the US I also found to be true for Australia. Especially the door knobs and windows.
I really hope to go to AUS one day!! It's on my list
as a german: I really don't understand door knobs. I have encountered these things and sometimes the room was a bathroom or something. Try turning a doorknob with wet hands or with your ellbow of you don't want a full blow of germs from other people who touched it. Those things are straight from hell.
Tobias: Door knobs are historic/old stuff.English legacy. And very impractical.
Some people with small children put plastic slider balls on the door knobs. These have to be squeezed hard to turn the knobs and prevents the children from opening the doors where there might be stairs or hazardous objects. I lived in Europe 20 years ago and I only saw differences with new doors and windows, which there are some in the US too, but everything else seemed about the same as in the US to me. In Italy there were electronic locks I didn't see in Belgium and Belgium has home windows at street level and Italy does not.
I have nothing to do with Germany or US, but I love to watch videos of people living abroad and how they change. I'm from Estonia, lived in Italy for 9yrs and now 3 yrs in Bulgaria and it just changes you and opens your eyes so much more. In the beginning I was against everything Italian and now in ways I feel more Italian that Estoninan :P
Cool video!!!:) what do you do in GErmany??? working? interesting what yout hink about germany:)
Although I‘ve never been to the US I feel this video. My mom grew up in Turkey, my dad grew up in Germany & we live in Germany, too. So when we go to Turkey in summer after a while I start missing Germany bc I miss the way we do some things here but also, the other way around I miss Turkey sometimes bc of the way some things are done in Turkey lmao. I guess it‘s a never ending cycle living in one country but knowing how things are done in another country & being torn between loving both countries but not loving both ways of doing the same thing.
Hi Aileen xo, ich finde das großartig! ;-)
Merhaba Aileen. You are right. No matter where you grow never forget your roots. There are good and worthwile things in every culture.
"America's recycling culture is the bare minimum..."
Which is most unfortunate. It didn't used to be.
I don't know what happened. It's so sad that the people don't care :/
To be fair there are technological solutions to this now that would make separating waste unnecessary. It just costs a lot more money to have a facility that separates the waste so that the company receiving the waste can then recycle it.
Might be a decent solution for the US though if the general public is less willing to participate.
To an extend. You should still separate wet trash, wet compostable trash and the rest, because they are just hard to impossible to separate for obvious reasons. All the rest could go into one bin but for some things it is probably more practical to separate directry, e.g. you get much more paper into the paper bin if you do not mix it with other stuff.
And it is btw. not even close to Rwanda .... they don't even use plastic bags ... they're just forbidden by strict laws. We still sell/export our plastic waste to African countries and boast at the same time about our
Great quality video girly!!! You look great 👍 (your beautiful anyway) but ya know what I mean. 😊 great to see you again!! Love your content my bf lives in Germany and I’ll be going over in just 4 short weeks!! Yay
Very sympathetic!! I know what we german men are missing...!! Such a woman like you! Greetings from Berlin
I really can't understand either that a nation that builds cars, rockets, and computers can't make windows that you can open and close in one simple move with one hand only. That is so ridiculous.
Whenever I go back to the USA, I am going to invest and find the German windows :p
We can. We just choose to include a state in between "open" and "closed" so that foreign nationals can find it confusing. Why? Because we can. That's German Engineering for you, at ist best. :)
Always a pleasure to follow your videos. Please continue! Kind regards from northern Germany :-)
Cool video. I really want to move to Germany and more specifically, Munich. I found your video helpful, so thank you.
Great video. You're welcome here. Enjoy your time in Germany
I wanted to give you a second thumbs up for that "the people made the US so stupid". So well said.
I didn't know how else to say it :p
If you visit Germany, and you do see a door with a knob, don't try to turn it. Doors with knobs need a key to open them, the knob is just something to pull on while holding the lock open with the key.
They take "Rücksicht" ^^ so adorable :-D
Purple is your colour 😊👌🏼
Nice Video! Macht echt Spaß Ihnen zuzuhören.
Lol, until your video I had no clue that our windows and doors are special! :D So thank you for your beautiful and very kind video. And welcome to Germany :)
My favorite US warning: a can of beans had heating instructions, together with the warning: warning, beans will be hot.
‚A window that ‚kipps‘‘ 😂😂😂 ich als deutsche finde dieses video total süss!
Hayley you are so ADORABLE, your videos are very informative, thank you. Our oldest has decided to study abroad (Germany) so, the entire family of 5 decided to move along to have this exciting experience as a family (and I have another college kid coming up)...Your blog is helping much and I`m at ease, excited and can`t wait for this future adventure...Thank you so much. BTW, we`re from South Florida too....
i'm sure, you will have good times here in (Southern) Germany.
Hayley, you have levelled up! Im norwegian, but the resycling is in our dna by now...
I really really enjoy watching your videos for many years now. Klasse! ❤️
Thank you so much for watching them :D
Hayley, there are "people" in the USA who spend their lives looking for any easy way to "get over." There are attorneys who will take "any" case.... "SHAKE MANY TREES, SOMETHING MAY FALL OUT" Some states have laws against the abuse of the legal system but not very many. There are entire law firms who only seek out cases where some provider or manufacturer didn't protect an idiot from him/herself.... If you ever purchase a ladder in the USA there will be a warning to not place the feet in cow crap...(someone won a landmark case after being injured after he placed the ladder in frozen cow crap. He was working on the barn early in the morning and when the sun got high enough, the cow crap melted, the ladder slipped and he broke his back. The ladder manufacturer had to PAY BIG... Now all ladders have to carry a written warning.
Vernon Berry y didnt he sue the owner of the cow?
Ladder Mfg. had a lot more money!!!
Broken back has no appeal to me....
So crazy to me... It should be illegal.. If I were a manufacturer and someone sued me for their stupidity, I would counter sue them for wasting my time on their stupidity.
+Vernon Berry
BTW, what warnings do guns bear on them? Or it's just impossible to win in a case of "OMG, I shot someone, because there was no warning on that thing, and I didn't know that can happen!" case against gun manufacturers and NRA?
Thank god you're back.
We definitely need you here.
I FEEL YOU ON THE IDEA THAT EVERYONE IS AFRAID OF BEING SUED...bc people in the USA are so petty and actually do sue 🤦🏼♂️
I'm from Luxembourg (near germany) and i recently went to the united states for vacation and I agree with all of your points that you've mentioned, I enjoied the Us very much but my heart is always gonna stay in europe
Happy as a clam?? Now that is cute... up in the north (of Germany) we sometimes say "I'm happy as a fish" - so that relates! ;-)
If you know the story, behind the hot coffee, it makes sense. They sold coffee so hot, it was nearly boiling, which they did to make sure the coffee would be still warm, when you drive in your car to work or wherever you go. In that case it sadly spilled over half an old ladies body, who got 2nd degree burn, she needed treatment for a year. That coffee had been simply too hot. And she sued just so they would pay her 6 digit invoice for the treatments. As far as I know, they did reduce the temperature to reduce risks and added the line on their cups, which you'll find on German McDonald's cups as well.
9:02 In some coffee shops in America you try to be environmentally friendly and bring your own mug. They make the coffee in the disposable cup and THEN pour it into the mug you brought. They're not allowed to just use your mug - so you still use the same amount of plastic.
I just discovered your channel. I like the soft way you're talking about your experiences. It's really funny how you are mixing up Englisch and German. I remember having a friend of mine from the US living at my apartment for two weeks and I was doing the same while I was talking English with her. :D
You should talk about your rolling "R" which is not part of the german language but purely a bavarian thing.
I will maybe make a video about this because everyone talks about it
I have been wondering about that for a long time now. Is it rolled with the tip of the tongue (like Spanish), or rolled with the uvula?
The rolling R is something you can hear in Bavaria and Austria, however, not all Bavarians pronounce it "rolling". Its also heard in parts of Northern Germany (coast)
and by Rammstein :>
I work at Starbucks in Germany and in the past we were NOT allowed to give out the drink without the lid on top, reasoning was that there were many incidents (in America) were people accidentally spilled drinks on themselves (I guess mostly hot drinks 🤷♀️ ) because the lid was missing and therefore sued Starbucks.
pretty silly in my opinion but now Starbucks Germany is not part of the American Starbucks company anymore so the rules are not the same.
btw I like how you slipped German words like "Rücksicht" and "pass auf" in between your speech, it was funny 😂
IIRC peanuts and nut allergies are separate things. (because peanuts aren't technically nuts)
So in that sense listing nut allergies on peanuts makes sense if it for example is made in a factory that also processes nuts.
Peanuts aren't nuts. If you are alergic to nuts, you can eat peanuts and if you are alergic to peanuts you can eat walnuts, except you are alergic to both of them^^
ElRackadusch I was just going to write the same: Peanuts aren't actually nuts.
but you got what I meant LOl
Yes, I did not want to offend you. Just wanted to explain it. It's something a lot of people don't know. I only know it because a friend of mine is alergic to nuts and he eats peanuts a lot.
Nuts and peanuts are sometimes handled at the same places. It may then be possible that a nut ends up in a package of peanuts and vice versa. That is the reason for warnings like "This product contains trace amounts of nuts/peanuts". In most cases there is not much risk, but if something happens, they can say that there was a warning.
Du hast recht.Ich wußte das nicht. Danke für die Info.
The recycle thing is so painful. I got used to recycling in Germany, but in my country, the recycling is almost impossible because the garbage system is just a mess.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
I really enjoyed this one.
I wouldn't even know how "Rücksicht nehmen" translates. But I think it should be something that US Americans should do a lot more.
Regarding traffic rules - I had my mind entirely changed regarding 'rules' for traffic when I spent some weeks in England and had to drive there - I did everything wrong I could do, even exiting a roundabout on the motor way the wrong way and suddenly there were cars coming towards me on all lanes - in Germany, you would probably have 5 cars crash into you at a speed of at least 150km/h, and afterwards be beaten up (ok, since you would be dead, it would not matter any more I guess).
In England, nobody ever even honked at me - they just drove 'ruecksichstsvoll' and gave way - I never saw anybody get upset or the likes.
Later on our landlord explained us that e.g. on crossroads there simply is no rule how has to get first ( in Germany we have 'rechts-vor-links') - this way everybody drives more reluctant and takes care for the other drivers not to get hit.
I loved that experience, and ever since I am really annoyed about our abundance of traffic rules on the one hand and German drivers being pissed off for the slightest reason ...
In the US, I always remembered "righty tighty, lefty loose-y" when I lock and unlock doors and it's taken me a long time to figure out how locking and unlocking doors works in Germany!
The same is for doors..it depends what the door is used for..the standart norm is a door must stand against fire for a amount of time..it must be easy to open in panic situations and must be relative burglar safe.
Hello Hayley, long story short:
USA Law system -> think people stupid and so explain everything, like " don't leave the driver's seat to cook coffee during driving"
Germany Law system -> build on common sense, it's the people fault if they don't think first
Thats the different
Okay, this video was spot on. I am an American living near Seattle and have visited friends in Germany several times. After returning home each time I have also had these same "struggles" with the differences. The only one I haven't experienced is the direction of locks. In my home and workplaces it is not backwards.
The window one though! I relate so much. I have often wondered about how I can get those windows here in America.
in germany theres also section for the waiters. its open so that guest can enjoy there day or evening withouth feeling instructed.
they do have a system, they do ask about no. of guest n all, but in germany a guest can realy enjoy the hole evening as he wishes not as the restaurant wishes.
It was a lucky coincidence watching your vid. Really enjoying listen to you.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
6:37 "and they passt auf and they took rrrrucksicht" haha I love this denglish
Hahaha, I just bought peanut butter which contains 100% peanut from Lidl, and saw it says "may contain traces of nuts" 😂
Hey, fun fact Hayley - my father fully imported and installed German windows for our house in Colorado precisely because of what you talked about here. German windows are just SMARTER. Better insulated too, so energy-saving. So are door handles. You can open those with your elbow even when your hands are full of groceries or other stuff.
Quote 10:08 "your german'nes"
Sounds like you got sick in Germany.
LOL
We are no sickness - we are effective :P
I just like - that you like us here in our little munich.
Have fun and thanks for sharing Hayley
Love your denglish. Usually Germans use a lot of English words, but it's so cute the way you use German words in English sentences :)!
We do have operable windows here in the US that "kip" which you can operate simultaneously as tilting or swinging with the turn of the handle, but perhaps it's where you've lived in the US and the age of your building. They are definitely installed in new buildings in NY and CA where I've lived.
Same goes for door handles - in fact I almost never come across door knobs anymore in the US. Even growing up, my house had door handles. Architects almost never specify door knobs because they are hard to grip, and they are illegal in many cases in public buildings.
There are many differences between germany and america, but these things aren't some of them.
I totally understand all the points. I grew up in Germany and live now in the states as an aupair. When I came to the states idk how often I looked myself out bc of the doornobs. Haha and the Windows. I was literally asking if you can open the windows. Shoook, wtf! 😂
In regards to the allergy warning, some people don’t know that food processing locations usually process more than one kind of food or contain other ingredients that can induce a severe allergic reaction. So that’s fair. Your product may contain no nuts, but some ingredients may be produced in a location where nuts are also being processed or used. Even though the chance of an allergic reaction may be low, they still want to warn people.
And sometimes they can market a product a certain way, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is 100%. We have a lot of artificial flavors and MSG in our food. So something may say “almond milk,” but for all you know it could be almond flavor or essence. It might seem redundant, but some products are not blatantly honest the way they are marketed. Like how they say something is 0% trans fat. That could just be PER serving. If you have more than one serving you could be consuming a quantifiable amount of trans fats.
The lid on the coffee is probably an insurance thing. So you can't sue them for spilling hot coffee onto yourself.
Welcome to Germany🖐❤I love your humor and your English/German mixed words 😂 total süß wie begeistert du von Deutschland bist und schön dass es dir hier gefällt. And by the way you and Mike should visit Freiburg haha its a great place in Germany 😉
Maybe one day. First I am taking another vacation 😂😂😂
I'm usually the recycler when I go home as well, it's really annoying, it isn't that hard to separate your trash.
Oh, my...! It was soooo sweet when you said "Gott sei Dank"...! :)
To be fair, at least it's not freezing here anymore. I lost a case of beer to frost damage in february because I kept it on my balcony (RIP.)
haha this video was actually filmed a few weeks ago! I just forgot to upload it and found it in my storage :p I am sorry about your beer
Actually per capita both India and China use nothing close to the resources the US does, and their per capita use is almost negligible in comparison. They just have huge populations so it adds up that way. But the US are indeed champions of resource waste! Close behind are Canadians (and I say that as a Canadian).
I knew someone would comment on it... I honestly had no idea. I was just assuming since they have a lot more people they might have a lot more waste... I actually thought the USA would be first but I was a little hesitant when almost one third of the population are in those countries.
I really enjoyed your vlog! Being German-American, I can soooo see where you're coming from! :) Greets from Berlin to Munich!
After viewing your video, I checked our carton of eggs right away to see if there's a warning about it containing egg products and I didn't see any warning. Checked the milk and nut packaging as well. No warning!! Whew!!! We're still okay up here in Canada. 😊
i was directed to you vid as I just did my hair exactly the same way a couple weeks ago. You hve made very good points o n Europe vs US
Just buy a jar of mustard in Germany and you feel right at home. It has a warning on it saying that it contains mustard seeds.
I think there are just regulations that require that all foods list any allergens. Obviously its redundant for a food that is only one ingredient but rules apply to anything
You can get cheap Door Handles for just 10 euros. More expensive ones are like untill 50 euros. I think it's okay :D
10:30 but in Switzerland it's the same. A bottle of milk there says:
Milk
Contains: Milk
ℹ Allergy info: contains milk!
WTF
same
ich dachte der frühling in münchen wäre hier aber nope. Schnee. Sehr schön.
That moment, when you have trouble with your native tongue :). I had it too when I got back from Australia and I said stuff like "gewisst" instead of "gewusst" or it took me quite a while to actually understand things. So that was quite funny
I am so lost in translation sometimes.. It's horrible -_- and so confusing trying to form normal sentences.
You make me homesick for a place I've never been for.( My father was from Germany)
for me it is funny, what you said about the german Windows. (I'm german.) I never opened a us-window yet.
On holiday in New Zealand in 2001, I found a frozen cake in the freezer in a supermarket. And the packaging said "Serving suggestion: defrost"
Ach ja, ich vergaß: Schön, dass Du wieder da bist!
There ARE warnings on german food, esp. when you buy nuts. BUT they don't warn you about the nuts you bought. Say, you bought peanuts, then the warning says "could contain traces of (other) nuts" or "could contain traces of hazelnuts" because the company also sells other nuts and there is a possiblity that you could eat something that could cause an allergic shock
I keep it short: Dankeschön!
I once asked at Starbucks in Vienna to get my coffee without the lid and they told me that they are not allowed to sell it to me without it.
Das hat hier schon viel mit dem "gemütlichen" stil und der ernährung zu tun, kenne auch das problem😍😍 Du bist ne tolle frau
