  • We LOVE GERMANY but it felt weird too!// Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a great start into the New Year and wish you the very best!
    In today's video we're sharing some gorgeous places we visited in Germany and along the way, we experienced some reverse culture shocks that having living in Britain for 7 years now just kicked in. We love both countries and although they aren't that far apart, there are some massive culture difference. Hope you enjoy! Kirsten & Jörg xx

    I like the idea of stores closed on Sundays. It was like this when I was a child growing up in Virginia. The days were spent with family, resting and relaxing in preparation for the week ahead. Perhaps this would be beneficial in today’s nonstop world. Great video, as always!

    Our country, USA, is so new compared to Europe. The buildings are what we here, call 'storybook' buildings with all the strips of wood decorating the outside and such. We do not see those style buildings in America anywhere except in books.
    Thanks for taking us on walking tours of Germany and also in the UK,

    WOW! What a delightful video! Germany is truly a beautiful country! (especially during the festive season). The architecture is stunning, and the food is so appetizing! I love the sound of bells ringing too (such a pleasant and unusual experience for North Americans like me). Thank you so much for filming parts of your visit home for Christmas. I hope you enjoyed yourselves. Happy New Year!

    I love the building architecture in the towns on your German visits. The pastries look divine - I would be big as a house if I lived there ! For info, the UK shops also used to close half-day Wednesday and all day Sunday until law was changed in early 90's.

    Dear Kirsten and Joerg, May I wish you both, and your viewers a Happy New Year. Thank you both for another lovely video. Beautiful old German architecture.
    Kirsten, you brought me down Memory Lane with the Haribo Happy Cola. When I was a young child my friends and I would buy our sweets in the local corner shop, and these were great favourites, we called them Cola Bottles. Lots of love from Dublin, Ireland.💖🇮🇪

I loved the turtle sculpture on the fountain and that quirky carving on the building corner of the man making a silly face by sticking his tongue out. I am truly grateful for you two, because I get to see places I might never see. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.❤🙏🇺🇲

    Thank you for taking us with you on your outing. The architecture and timber work on some of the buildings is magnificent! I can only imagine how beautiful it must look in the summer.
    Happy New Year to you both!

    It is lovely to see you Kirsten and Joerg - Happy New Year to you both. The architecture, town squares, cleanliness and cakes (delish) of these German towns just all so beautiful. Here too (US) the days of quiet Sundays and a hush over businesses are long gone with most things being open and usually very busy - nice to see that Germany still observes one day for a slower pace. Thank you again for bringing us along!

    I loved living in Germany it’s so beautiful there! My oldest daughter was born in Nurnberg 40 years ago. I lived in Frankfurt, Hanau as a child and as an adult I lived in Nurnberg and Weisbaden. I cried when I left in 1992. I hope one day I will come back to Germany. I loved walking into the small towns and shopping at all the markets. I miss the delicious food and the people and culture. ❤️

Es wird sicherlich nicht mehr lange dauern bis ihr die 100.000 Abonnenten als TH-camr hab. Ihr habt klein angefangen mit der deutsche Sprache und seid dann ins Englische gewechselt und hab damit sehr viel Erfolg gehabt und erreicht dadurch sehr viele Menschen weltweit. Auch ich habe mein Englisch durch euren Kanal verbessert und gleichzeitig interessante Bilder und Schlösser in England gesehen. Ich freue mich darauf wenn ihr uns bald eure TH-cam Trophäe zeigen könnt mit 100.000 Abonnenten. Toi toi toi. Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg🏆

    THANK YOU! ...THANK YOU!!! ...THANK YOU!!! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...Watching your grand touring video around this German town at times made me cry remembering my Father, my Grandmother, my Great Grandfather. ...Germany is their homeland. I especially recall my father & his brother always talking about the beautiful country, mountains, & towns which created their home. Of course, my Father, Grandmother, & Great Grandfather spoke German. My Father told me about the wonderful buildings & homes saying no others compared. The people & families were very close & worked to help each other...everyone was wise & smart. During the early 1800s German immigrants came to the USA, worked hard, struggling for success with land purchases where the land was difficult to manage but priced at good low cost. My family members at that time harvested trees from the steep mountains & created timber beam businesses for coal mines, & those timber & sawmill companies grew well. My early German family members on my Father's side...plus the early Scotch-Irish family members on my Mother's side came to the USA with nothing & did well. Their lives speak of the strengths & gifted minds of both Germans & Scotch-Irish. ...Around 1957 my Father rejoined his comrades (very close friends) to visit towns & find family & friends after the war. The world was changing, but the homeland spirit remained strong & still exists as a rich spirit of people today. ...Kirsten & Joerg, may all the days of this new year be filled with happiness & satisfaction & happy journeys to explore & share. ...This Video Is Wonderful!!!

    I loved New Year's Eve in Germany, Silvesternacht. I remember in Wiesbaden they had huge celebrations with tons of fireworks. The next day, you'd walk downtown and see all the little wires from the rocket style fireworks, but then to walk again downtown the day after that, clean as a whistle. I had also forgotten about Wednesdays...but being excited when November came and not only were shops open on Wednesday, but had later shopping hours, too, until Christmas...and of course, the Christmas Markets. As I do every New Year, I think fondly of Wiesbaden because we married there on 2/2. 35 years soon! Hard to believe.

    Happy new year, or in Scots, a guid new year tae ane an a'
    Here in Scotland in days gone by every town had a half day closing for shops. In some towns it would maybe be a Wednesday but in others it could be a Tuesday or, another day. The practice started to die out in larger towns in the 80's and by the 90s it only happened in smaller towns and villages. Now there's no half day closing anywhere that I know of in Scotland.
    When I was a child if it was half day closing in our town (which if I remember correctly was a Wednesday) if mother wanted to go shopping we would have an afternoon out to a neighbouring town. Mother knew which day was half closing in every town within miles!

    When I was in Germany- I always love to hear those bells sounding off. We don't have that sort of thing in the states. The streets were so clean, and the forests were beautiful. I had the cnace to go Volksmarching and I would bring the dogs. I just loved it but I love the outdoors anyway I can get it. When I was there all of those years ago, I never could find colored curtains

    Great videos which I love watching and I think that your house is looking very cosey. The room you call your snug, looks extremely cosy. Kirsten I remember the shops in the UK closed on one afternoon on a weekday. This was many years ago There was a shops act of 1911 and this required that shops closed for one half day per week. Of course remember the shops did not open at all on Sundays, except paper shops, I believe in the UK. I wish you both a Happy New Year and look forward to watching more very interesting videos.

    My uncle and his family lived in Munich and Frankfurt for many years. In the early 1950’s they sent my brother and I lederhosens ( don’t know if I am pronouncing or spelling them properly. Mine was a heavy suede jumper skirt and my brother’s were shorts. They also sent us hats with a plume of feathers from the hatband. I think I am remembering this correctly, I was only about 5 and am now 73! I love the beautiful villages and I’m glad you spent time with your family. It’s rejuvenating to spend time with your parents but it’s so sad to leave them. Happy healthy New Year to you and your loved ones 🥰

I loved watching you have coffee and cake it brings back memories of when I worked in a bakers shop in Germany the bread and cakes are amazing in Germany in fact when I used to go back to visit my mum and dad in the UK I used to always bring him a loaf of German bread because he loved it .

    Wishing you both very good things for 2023 from the UK. Thank you for all your videos, really enjoy seeing all the great places you visit and the things you enjoy buying. Your house looks magnificent and I like you classy taste. You've also inspired me to visit much more of the UK. Look forward to your future videos. xx

    Really enjoyed this video! I marvel at the architecture in the town square. I have always been fascinated by the upper floors of these buildings above the shops. The windows look so inviting! Are those residential?

    Happy New Year Kirsten & Joerg. Germany is such a beautiful place all the little town's and villages are so clean and beautiful timber frame buildings. And I love hearing the church bells ringing. And yes I miss the Sunday business closing. When I was a child here in the US everything was closed and everything was about family. Cheers Ron

    While I missed you last week, I was also feeling so very happy that you were able to have a family Christmas in Germany, as we know your parents and friends miss spending time with you too. Thank you for the delightful view of Trier, and as always, learning about several new beautiful German cakes! They are truly creative works of art for the eyes.
    Kirsten, continue to enjoy your family! 🌹

    Happy New Year 🎉🥳 from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Germany looks so clean with beautiful architecture ❤ Your cakes 🍰 looked so yummy 😋 I remember here in Scotland when I was little everywhere was closed on a Sunday & it was considered a day of rest. It was even frowned upon to hang a washing outside 😂oh how times have changed. Thanks again for sharing some of lovely Germany ❤

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank yo so much, the same to you! I know, so many people use their lawnmowers on a Sunday in the UK, it's something we don't like as we think it's quite important to have a day in the week that just feels different and quiet to the other days.

    Shops closing on a Wednesday afternoon in England was normal when I was growing up certainly up to and including the 70s. Also a lot of shops closed all day Monday. Definitely no shopping on a Sunday. Most shops were closed by 5pm the rest of the week. I find some small independent shops still choose a Monday or Wednesday to close if they are open less hours. I agree with you. Sunday was like a different day to the rest of the week. Quiet and relaxing. I really miss that.

  • @sharongriffith7505

    In the US our stores are open 7 days a week but that was not the case when I was growing up (I will be 74 years old next month). Store were always CLOSED on Sunday. I liked that lifestyle much better than all the hustle and bustle of now days. Things moved at such a much slower pace.

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We are always a bit shocked when shops in the UK are open on Boxing Day and people go crazy. It's good to enjoy Christmas and family without shopping we think.

    Happy New Year, K&J!💃🏻🪩🕺🏻 I loved this video. It’s so cool to hear dialect changes auf Deutsch that we don’t typically learn in German class in high school. 😃🗣🇩🇪 My husband is from a prefecture in the southern part of Japan and I remember riding in a taxi the first time to his family’s house and the chatter on the taxi CB was so difficult for me to understand, as someone who studied “Tokyo-ben” aka standard Japanese. I was thinking, “Is this Japanese?” 😂🇯🇵🤔 FYI - lots of shops in Japan are closed on Mondays for anyone that travels there. Anywhooo, so looking forward to your vlogs for 2023. Toodles and take care! xoxo Christine in overly snowy with back-breaking shoveling Colorado, USA 😒🚫☃️

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much Christine and the very same to you! I totally understand what you mean, there are so many dialects in a country that you can only really learn when you visit and hear the locals speak. Yes, a lot of hairdressers are still closed on a Monday in Germany so it's interesting to hear about Japan.

    Loved watching your video while we are waiting to board our flight to fly back to Germany! We visited Trier last summer and it was very nice. The shops in our village in southern Bavaria also close on Wednesday midday and often close between 12:30 and 2. It can be so tricky to get used to, but I love how the employees all get breaks. Happy new year to you and Joerg! ❤

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much Sara - I hope you had a wonderful time with your family in the US! I know, it's the same in the village I come from and also where Jörg is from. We're no longer used to the Wednesday afternoons but would love a quiet Sunday in the UK just to get the feeling that it's different and more peaceful. I think a lot of people could use it to switch off which has almost become impossible in our world.
