Great vlog I hope you come to Jordan it would be great

All of places you said that were on the Asian side were actually all on the European side (Balat and all the places on the tour you did) 🥲 if you visit Istanbul again you should get the ferry to Kadıköy or Üsküdar, they're both on the Asian side

Great vlog, and it certainly seems like an amazing city to visit. Thanks for the video 😍

Whats your Instagram Account?

It's great to see a new video after such a long time! Loved the Istanbul vlog. Amazing Turkish food and stunning city exploration!

07:38 actually its not asian side your're still in europe its callled "Balat", if you want to asian side you can go kadikoy.

Great video Valentina! Solo travel in Germany looks like an amazing adventure. Can't wait to explore these spots someday!

And ALWAYS remember Berlin is NOT Germany! Berlin ist irre.... 😆😆😆

2:30 Step 1: when you enter the building, you either grab one of the shopping Baskets or a shopping cart, wich usually is available there. Step 2: Go Shopping. Fill your basket with the Items you want to buy. Step 3: put your stuff on the counter. once it is your turn, you move to the exit of the counter with your basket/shopping cart ready to be filled with your items again. (Dont even try to put them directly into your personal bag or backpack, because the others dont want to wait all day) Step 4: Put the scanned items into your basket, once the cashier sends them down the slope. Step 5: Now you pay. Step 6: once you have paid, you leave the counter and move to the battery return table wich can be found in pretty much every german grocery store. Step 7: Now it is time for your personal game of Tetris. Have fun! In case you came by car AND you are using a shopping cart, you obviously go to your car instead and play a much more boring version of Tertris. Sidenote: If you REALLY want to use a personal bag all the way, make sure its a very big one, where you can just throw your stuff in.

The fact that you don't tell where you come from makes me guess you are from eastern Europe. And you seem to know that this is not very popular... 🤷🏻‍♂️

The square at 3:00 is the place where the Hammaburg (Hamma stronghold) used to be, the original birthplace of Hamburg. The giant white stones mark where the walls were.

Hamburg ist so schön wegen den Menschen ! und Hafen und ..........

Recycling: There is a deposit system ("Pfand") on bottles and cans - and this is the reason, why You will not see these as trash on our streets or in our nature. And if someone just throw it away, there will be soon someone to pick it up. And yes: Meanwhile it is regarded as some kind of good manner to suppress it besides a trash can in public instead of throwing it inside ... someone who needs it, will pick it up soon. Recycling may be uncomfortable for some comtemporaries, but it is necessary, because in the end there is no way of "throwing away" of non-decomposing materials. Esp. in such a rich country with its high population density as Germany. And even if You manage only the simpliest way of trash separation (bio, glass, metal, plastic, paper), You will realize soon: The amount of the resting trash is very, very small.

You just put your groceries back in your cart and bag them in peace after paying

Miniatur Wunderland 🤯

She is back with the best Vlogs 🔥🔥

There is no video on youtube where Americans don't touch the subject of shopping.It's shocking and scary how the American consumerism is affecting them.Thank God we don't have this here in Germany.

another very good video👍... I want to add additional points: Hope you find comfortable in your new job/life (point one) and 2nd: even if your job is good, there might be opportunities coming around during everybody's life where everybody has to decide: this way or not... All the best and as far I notized: Your first opportunity you took is to stay in Berlin or Germany 👍

You make it sound like, that you have to buy stuff from the shop, when you bring your bottles back for the Pfand. You don't! You are not forced to spend any money at the shop! You can just give the receipt of the machine to the cashier and they will give you the money.

THE GERMANS GO TO THE NETHERLANDS ,FOR SHOPPING. ON ZONDAGS.

The secret to be able to match the speed of the cashier is to use a cart until you are beyond the checkout, then bag your groceries and bring the cart back to the cart storage booth(-s), grab your goods packed in your own (non-plastic) bags and carry them home ....

Thanks that you Show a Penny too😎👍 Cos the most youtuber forget to name that Discounter with the other ones. So thanks that you not forgotten Penny^^

there isn´t bad weather just bad cloth XD

Berlin is not Germany. Berlin is Berlin. Don't get me wrong, it's our capital but this city is not how Germany in general works...

Switzerland looked at the deposit machines for physical items. At that time, I think it was around the 80s, they had a can machine that took the cans and pressed them together.

Valentina, your video is so insightful! It's providing a great overview of grocery shopping in Berlin. Thanks for sharing this informative content!

People in Berlin always sound more rude than they mean it. If they yell at you smile and say something nice in english. Helps instantly.

There is no bad weather ... only bad / inappropriate clothing. Stop living your life for convenience / fun.

You just put your stuff BACK IN THE SHOPPING CART ... then you move out of the way (after paying) to LET THE NEXT CUSTOMER get his stuff scanned. It is about EFFICIENCY ... NOT "your COMFORT".

"No pharmacies are open on sunday" is FALSE ... there are EMERGENCY PHARMACIES that are staffed and you can get medicine by ringing a bell. Every pharmacy will have a sign which one is the nearest emergency pharmacy/when they are on duty.

You forgot to tell everyone where you are from...the most important thing!

I never do shopping on Saturdays and also not for an entire week. Supermarkets are so widespread here that you can easily purchase your stuff on a daily basis. And as ever: Checkouts in Germany are not meant nor designed for you to pack your stuff. Put it back in the cart and bag it elsewhere !!! Fun fact: EC Cards are debit cards. You may only have an issue if the payment provider is foreign or sometimes when using credit cards (because of the fees)

I´m singing in the rain.

Hello from Switzerland, well, using cash or credit cards is certainly a question of generation and trust. Personally, I hardly ever pay with a card (especially not the contactless methods), so there are actually no incorrect bookings, which are always possible. We have, among other things: Twint, (very similar to Apple Pay) which is very common and accepted practically everywhere, even in cafes, bakeries, etc. As far as I know, the EC card is not a credit card in this sense, but a means of payment that debits your account directly (simultaneously, so to speak), or the payment fails if your account does not have the appropriate balance (unless you can also fall into the red). Recycling works a little differently for us, all without a deposit on PET bottles and aluminum cans, but it still works. Why? Because with us you pay for the volume of household waste (chargeable waste area), so the more you recycle, the less you pay for household waste (i.e. fewer waste bags you need). The thing about the bicycles on the "sidewalk" irritates me just as much in Germany, I still don't understand it (although I'm rarely in Germany). In our case it is separated (structurally by a height difference from the sidewalk) or marked throughout with lines and markings so that it is obvious at all times. This is also the case with us, that there are no checkpoints for tickets on public transport (nationwide), however, if you get caught during a check, it will be quite expensive and you can be excluded from using it if you travel several times without a ticket. If you do it anyway, you may face criminal proceedings.

👍👍👍

Shopping on Sundays actually is still quite possible in Berlin due to the many supermarkets situated in train stations, which are open on Sundays. Ullrich at Berlin Zoo is a prime example - but don't go to the REWE in the Ostbahnhof.

Welcome in Germany

The bike lanes..... well! Can you imagine what will happen when a bicycle and a pedestrian have an accident? The separation between the cycle path and the sidewalk ensures that this does not happen, as it can lead to serious injuries. So a cyclist will shout if you are in the wrong lane to save you both from a collision. And yes, he might not just shout, he might yell. He can't know that the system is new to you. And imho it's much more pleasant than finding yourself in hospital, eh?

You're so much better then those other scam KZbinrs that take forever to get to the point & show stock videos. You need to be cloned to have more of you

What baffles me about the bike lane thing: When there’s no one there, it’s not really a problem, IF you are aware of your f***in surroundings and move out the way if a biker comes. To note for foreigners: If someone yells: Aus dem Weg! Or something like that, you’re probably standing in the bike lane. Just move over. People here are used to following these rules, and also know they are in the right to tell you to move. Don’t take it personally! There are ignorant people who just don’t care and it’s usually those who stand in the bike lane. If you’re just new here, almost everybody would understand, but how would they know if you are someone that cares or not.

There is always an open pharmacy, 24/7 365. It’s just on Sundays and holidays where they work in rotation, so you’ll need to Google which one is open right now in your town/city. Please upvote, some might think we savage otherwise.

2:30 idk how exactly you do it but as an avid Aldi shopper this is how my parents always did it and I do too: You lay everything on the conveyer belt and then after its scanned put everything in the cart. Just plain like you did in the store. You keep your bags in the trunk of your car, push the cart to your car and then pack the bags in peace. That way I only have to keep up by putting the stuff randomly back into the cart, not actually pack bags. From what Ive seen I think many foreigners think you need to pack your bags at the checkout. Instead, throw everything in the cart and pack at your car. Alternatively, if you dont have a car, there is always space behind the checkout with these ledges for you to pack your bags with all the stuff from the cart. This was way to complicated to simply say: pack after paying not right after the cashier scans it, if thats what youre doing

It is not intended to PACK your stuff at the cash register! Therefore there are packing tables near the checkout where you have all all time to pile your stuff neatly in your bags. At the cash register throw your stuff as fast as you possible back into your shopping cart!

Hi, I am wondering where you from. It would be easier to understand why you are feeling differences between Germany and your home country. Thank you

berlin ist the most "not german" german city there is :P

For an American it is hard to believe that family values are prioritized over making money. They can't fathom the idea that they can't buy a vital thing like a jackhammer or toaster on Sunday.

Shopping tipp from a german. Take a shopping cart if u dont hsve just 3 items Get something the cashier has to type in manualy like bun roles or fruit/vegetables thst arent pre packed When u are at the check out place the items on the belt in a way where the cashier has to slow down inbetween becouse the bun roles and cucumbers or mango.😅 Then dont panic and put the stuff in ur back put it back into the cart and usualy there are packing tables if not just pack from the csrt into ur back after ubpayed and u are done with the check out 😅 If tvere are no packing tsbles this might be becouse of berlin Personaly i never was in a store without any packing oportunity 😅

You Americans always act like you're particularly religious. Shame on you, because Sunday belongs to the Lord and not to the supermarket owner. And by the way, the little thing on the pharmacy door is not an ornament, but a bell that you can also press on Sundays. :(

Whining at a high level

Churches ARE open on sundays! Also museums, restaurants and cafes, zoos and amusement parks, castles and palaces, clubs and bars and brothels. Walmart is closed in Germany 7/24.
