Wait.. are you thinking that cash can make you sick ?

I laughed SO LOUD at you 2 in the other video because NALF truly does sound JUST like the American guys I know here in USA. So I'm laughing even harder now realizing the GERMAN wrote all the lines 🤣 You two are COMEDY GOLD!! Please do longer videos like these

It seems Germany still got some traces of communism.

Never went to a Christmas market in Germany, but was able to go to the market in Vienna while I was living there!

Haha. People still can't get over calling it "inferior". I'm with you on my brain understands Fahrenheit! Btw, I love a stick shift car. I'm regularly trying to convinve my students that its a good idea to learn! I'm going to have to disagree on your take on the booze now that I've had way too much intimate experience with a bunch of folks who grew up in Berlin and all drink way too heavily, have a tremendous amount of alcoholism in the family, openly admit all the young binge drinking and destruction of brain cells, and have so many serious health effects from all the boozing. Nah. I'm not buying the classic American arguments that I've heard all of my 54 years of life about europe being so smart and sophisticated about alcohol. Not even a little bit. That's just meaningless cope and angst and envy that leads to those arguments. Europe has plenty of alcoholism and plenty of binge drinking that occurs. They haven't fixed it with their way of approaching alcohol culturally.

Be sure to try the eggnog, with or without cream on top, in my opinion it tastes much better than mulled wine, especially the ladies prefer it, as they often tell me. I like and prefer the small and really cozy Christmas markets far away from the big cities and the many visitors and tourists there. The prices are often cheaper and the quality of the food and drinks is usually better. Wherever there are a lot of tourists, always the following rule applies: a lot of tourists especially from abroad = a lot more crap and rip-offs.

Just buy a damn car !

A very respectful essay on the cultural phenomenon. However, noting the weather as a con is tricky, as (a) the concept would hardly work in glaring sunshine, and (b) the idea behind the markets is to offer warmth precisely in this type of climate.

Can versus bottle is kind of an unfair comparison. Cans are always a bit 'stale'.

This Video is Important. We shouldnt let be Scared to do the things we love, because if we do these Terrible Pepole will Win. My Condolences and Prayers to the Victims of Magdeburg.

cash only is not a con for germans. its a privileg

You definitely need salt and pepper, it’s essential. Butter or no butter could be argued, please try again with salt, pepper and onions. If you couldn’t get over the fact it’s raw pork meat just remind yourself it’s safe to eat in Germany. My family is having Mettfrühstück at least every 1-2days/week for the last 15 years, never had any issues. Although in my area in NRW almost everyone is eating Mett at least a few times a year, zero health issues, never heard of anything…

I prefer English slang. Its blunt and makes perfect sense.

Team Corndogs 💪🤙

I watched the media reports here. Germany is such a dangerous place overrun by illegals that I would never go there. It seems the US is the only free and safe place on this planet.

Greetings from Rhineland Pfalz! Great content, but I would be remiss to not mention my Alma mater-- Go Ducks. 😉

Diese Weihnachtsmärkte sind zu teuer aber die Amerikaner zahlen das leider

You should check out the „adults only“ christmas market on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg next year…now that is different let me tell ya!

@NALF marry christmas

Magdeburg is in the North?

Thanks for helping Mr relive a time in beautiful old Heidelberg. I studied there in 1972/73. One professor sometimes held class up on the patio at the castle above town. We lived in Dilsberg am Neckar, outside of a fortress. We had Christmas dinner with our land lady. Her tree had real burning candles. It had been freshly cut; so it wasn't as dangerous as it sounds. The Forrest Master had cut a tree for our flat as well. No lit candles, but we'll never forget the aroma of that fresh tree in our little flat. Dilsberg is 20K (12 miles) from Heidelberg. "So far! - So weit!", our neighbors would say.

Немцы так увлеклись желанием отомстить русским, что забыли о собственной безопасности. Но для них это наверное нормально, и уже через неделю они забудут.

the news about magdeburg is not big news here, its overshadowed by other current events, also the germans make fun of the americans all the time about these incidents so now they have one of their own, now the shoe is on the other foot, maybe that will make them more compassionate when poo pooing these incidents when they take place in the usa.,? ; also your volume goes up and down all the time in this video and sometimes we can barely hear you, can you do anything about that for the future.??? also, as usual your music is too loud in relation to the talking, how about you lessen the too loud and often not needed music and in turn put your voice and commentaries louder which is what we tune into to hear? thanks, RZM

Gute Nacht 😴😴

People are so sick these days. So sad for the families and friends. I know the German Government is not going to easy on the POS.

If you take the time to study how history is recorded, and look deeper into it, you will find out a very uncomfortable truth, that you have been lied to about WW2, as well as most recorded history. Yes I have a degree in History and a curious, skeptical mind.

in my opinion medieval christmas markets are much better which are mostly integrated into the normal christmas markets in germany

today, a very conservative Swiss newspaper published an opinion piece claiming what this latest Saudi terrorist (and he claims to be anti-Islam) and all the other terrorists can't stand the most is our notion of personal freedom and [civil] liberties. that is what they are targeting with these heinous attacks. we shouldn't let them. it also means we shouldn't crank up security to a point where personal freedom and liberties get truncated. Merry Christmas! 🧑‍🎄🎄🎆

The biggest Christkindmarkt in America is in a German formed town an hour away from me in Cullman, Alabama, for anyone interested.

They are right to go for cash only.

Greetings from germany. Absolutely relevant topic and tbh im a bit pissed by this crazy shit. Looks like these things become a universal problem for developed counteies and their huge cities

Unfortunately, Christmas markets are no longer what they once were. For about 10 years they have been secured like a high-security area such as Breitscheid Platz in Berlin. The visitor to the Christmas markets is given a feeling of deceptive security, knowing that there is no longer one hundred percent security. The lightheartedness is gone. It's just sad 😢

Optimism , Kindness , Friendly , Openness, Helpfulness , Generosity and Trying to be Helpful at everything thats what made me fall to USA ❤

We have been to the Dresden markets a few times this season. I prefer the ones here in Prague, though.

Regarding the smoking issue, here in Canada smoking became socially unacceptable once they legalized pot. Now you see ads for a smoke free Canada but there are cannabis shops everywhere and is promoted like a health product.

Thanks for showing me a glimpse of the Christmas market in my hometown this year! Fröhliche Weihnachten!

rip ears

As a Magdeburg cirizen, I just wanna thank you for the condolences without unneeded politics attatched to it! Apparently thats not the obvious behaviour nowadays.

When He said Merica invented English I felt that in my heart hahahah

1 more con: glue(h)wein is always a little sticky. But it's jummy-gummy .

Merry Christmas,Nick! 😊

bad timing bro

Don't allowing drink my beer where ever I want, it's not freedom 😂

That's funny, I'm also currently watching Vikings. Skol and Merry Christmas! 🎄

It's really funny to hear an American say that there are definitely too many Americans at a Christmas market! I absolutely agree with him! It's often no fun anymore with all the (international!!!) tourists!

He goes to Heidelberg and wants to be the only American 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Most of Germany only takes cash, it’s a German thing, Canadians and Americans beware The weather……. What do you expect in December my man? You’re in Central Europe 🤔🤭

You know that when you speak German, the other Americans won’t even know you’re there😉. But yeah, you can’t get away from them (us🙄). Still, the Christmas markets are an experience…sharing tables with strangers, meeting friends, Glühwein…lines at the toilleten is the only Con for me.

Germany and west ( Sweden , UK, France , Belgium , Spain , Netherland , Norway , Finland , Australia , US ) should end this ongoing every Christmas “ Christian massacre “ they say man hated Muslims but went on killing Christian ??? Angela Merkel destroyed Christianity and European peace . Islamic invasion destroyed Europe. They ( illegal Muslims ) are given right but they back stab us by stabling shooting running over us and then asking for Shriya law and then complaining “ Islamophobia “ wtf

Over the 20+ years of "Weinachtmarkt'ing," I have noticed it has become commercialized and ubiquitous. I remember when Käthe Wohlfahrt was only in Rothenburg. 2 weeks ago, on my return from the States, I was sitting next to an American family doing a whole Christmas Markt tour. It is becoming a popular thing to do. Oh, Like you NALF, I like being the only American when I travel around the continent! We still go to our small town markt's and they are great and filled with gemütlich. The big ones are fun too. Check out the Strasbourg Markts and Metz is nice. Oh nice, Nice France is fantastic. First time I had Christmas Champagne.
