Growing up in Germany, I never appreciated it. I thought it was boring compared to the US and other countries. So I lived in the US, Spain and the UK for almost two decades combined. I returned to Germany 6 years ago. Now I appreciate it so so much and know I'm lucky to have been been born here. I love that you feel similar whiteout of course loving you home country any less :)

[@lennyren]

All great German suggestions/things! I get more and more excited listening to your videos as I'll be moving to Germany next year. I just wanted to mention that in Canada we also have Stockbrot. It is called Bannock on a stick. It is likely passed down from an indigenous or European culture though. I'm hopeful that it is equally as delicious!

[@Deliciousfoodofficer]

I wish you the best for moving to Germany ❤

[@lifeingermany_]

Aww thanks so much! 🥰 And I had no idea - cool! I always assumed bannock was made with cornmeal and lard and expected it to taste super different than “Stockbrot” … will have to do a comparison test one day 😉

[@idoj4ever]

OMG! What an opportunity! I wish you had bought that hotel! I've been going on vacation to Germany (from Mississauga) for years. I'd definitely stay in your hotel! ❤ 🇨🇦💕

Rapidly bobbing my head to your comment about the Netherlands. Yepp, the Netherlands have really done astonishingly great, beyond even the wildest expectations, when it comes to interconnected biking and public transport.

[@twilightlove]

Thanks for consistently posting with such entusiasm and joy. 👍

[@lifeingermany_]

Glad you enjoy it! 🥰🫶🤩

[@Osmone_Everony]

It's just adorable how you love Germany. 🥰 I believe native Germans just take most things for granted and never even think about it. :)

[@eisikater1584]

Who stuffs Stockbrot with ... Nutella? There needs to be enough garlic butter in one piece to scare all the vampires out of town. That's its purpose! (Besides that campfires always are fun.) Oh, Weihnachtsmärkte! Yes, I used to love them, until I helped selling Christmas decoration on one of these markets, and I swear, I didn't get that Christmas music out of my ears until Easter. Maybe I should have drunk Glühwein not AFTER, but BEFORE work. (But it was one of the student jobs I liked most, and I still recommend it. You meet so many different people, it's amazing.) I don't want to miss out on your other 90 things, so I finally subscribed to your channel.

[@lifeingermany_]

Oooh I totally agree! 🧄 🤤 Although.. can’t I have some Nutella in it for dessert? 🤣

Moin Arno! Zu deiner Frage von gestern: ja, ich mag das Wetter auch sehr. Allerdings gehe ich nicht mit Gassi, wenn meine Frau in den Park geht. Dort ist jetzt alles so vereist, das ist einfach zu riskant ist. Besonders, weil sie ja auf ihre eigenen Füße achten muss. Liebe Grüße, hat gerade wieder ein bisschen mehr geschneit hier! Schöne Adventszeit dir

I wrote this in the past as a suggestion for a career choice for you and watching your "things I like about Germany" videos only confirms that notion: it's a complete mystery to me why you haven't been approached by various tourist centers in Germany to become a "brand ambassador" (Markenbotschafterin) for our country. With your bubbly personality and obvious passion for this country they definitely could not do better! In regards to your "almost hotel acquisition" I'd like to say that in that case I'd be tempted to give it the Udo-Lindenberg-approach and apply for a permanent residency just to experience the real life Jenna in person from time to time...😉😁🥰🥰 And yes, I can't wait to see an upcoming video featuring your mom and what she has to say for herself for tagging winter along with her from Canada to over here!🤡🤣💛💛

[@tasminoben686]

Moin, Björn! Und? Eingeschneit?😂

You know that Heidelberg has the longest pedestrian zone in entire Germany? It's about 3 km long.

[@lifeingermany_]

Had no idea! How cool!

[@jackybraun2705]

Those baby changing stations must be new. When my kids were tiny in the 1980s, out local "dm" had the nappies, baby food and clothes UPSTAIRS with no lift. I stood there with my pram and toddler, wondering how on earth to manage. I did write a letter to the manager and some time later, I noticed that the baby department had been moved downstairs. Nowhere to change or sie and feed a baby though.

[@jennyh4025]

I don’t know when dm started it, but I know I first realized they were there in 2017.

[@joannunemaker6332]

I hope you and your mom feel better soon. I was sick last week in the US 😢. This weather change is so hard!❤

[@lifeingermany_]

Thanks!!! ❤️ hope you stay healthy now too!!

[@jochenlutz7195]

What I love about Germany is, that we host people from all over the world without forgetting our traditions. Furthermore I love our food like raw minced pork, Bratwurst, cabage-dishes, everything with potatoes and food coming from our foreign fellows like Döner, Pizza, Icecream, Chinese-food and finally of course for me as a "Nordhesse" the "Ahle Wurscht" (a sort of Salami but better - airdryed or smoked).

[@flamedealership]

HEYYY - "ahle Worscht" is a real treat in my region of "Mittelhessen" as well - please don't claim exclusivity on that...👍😉💛💛

[@tasminoben686]

@@flamedealership hab schon lange keine Currywurst mehr gegessen, ist mir gerade klar geworden!😢

[@flamedealership]

@@tasminoben686 Wo ich so drüber nachdenke, ich auch nicht! Um hier aber mal jeglichen Missverständnissen vorzubeugen: "ahle Worscht" hat mit Currywurst aber mal so gar nichts zu tun - ich wills nur mal gesagt haben.😉😎💛

[@tasminoben686]

@@flamedealership ich weiß, dass Currywurst etwas ganz anderes ist. Björn! Mir fiel nur in dem Zusammenhang ein, dass ich schon lange keinen mehr gegessen habe. Wir sind, als unsere Tochter noch klein war, jeden Samstag auf den Wochenmarkt und haben bei in Anführungsstrichen Björn Anführungsstrichen lach Anführungsstriche am Wurstwagen stand immer eine Currywurst und eine kleine Portion Pommes gegessen. Aber wie gesagt, seit unsere Tochter groß ist, gehen wir am Samstag nicht mehr auf den Markt. Ist einfach hier im Ort sehr schwierig, ein Parkplatz zu finden, obwohl ich auf einem Behindertenparkplatz darf. Aber oft sind die auch zugeparkt mit anderen, die dort eigentlich nicht stehen dürften. es hat übrigens heute hier auch wieder relativ lange geschneit. Das Problem ist dabei, dass die Hausmeister des Wohnblocks, in dem wir jetzt seit fast einem Jahr wohnen, nicht nur den Schnee draußen beiseite schieben, sondern auch alles kräftig mit Salz ab streuen. Was man dann natürlich mit den Schuhen in die Wohnung schleppt. Und es ihm hat auch eigentlich Gift für die Hundefüßchen. Ich bin schon am überlegen, ob ich die Stadt anrufe, weil das ja, nicht ohne Grund, verboten ist! Mal gucken, je nachdem wie ich drauf bin die Tage! Liebe Grüße hier sind jetzt -6° inzwischen wieder.

Unrelated to the topic🙃, I found a really useful video of yours with your insight regarding Strom. The prices have skyrocketed and I decided to switch to Ostrom. There is still little info in english regarding this subject on the internet. So Thanks Jenna🎉

[@lifeingermany_]

Aww I’m so glad it was helpful! 🥰🫶 the good news is once one starts in English many typically follow! So things should only get easier from here! I’m still with Ostrom and love them 🥰

[@wallerwolf6930]

Hi! Nice video about living in Germany! Thanks for that! Yes, the Netherlands are the number one cycling nation, without question and have probably overtaken the Chinese ;-)). But I would miss the variety there, the country is just too flat ;-)) Of course you can also think it's good not to have to climb hills or even mountains.

[@lifeingermany_]

That’s true! I’m also not a HUGE fan of the food there 🙈 so I am happy living here in Germany!

[@flamedealership]

Überschwenglich begeistert? Wir sehen Jenna hier quasi auf ihrer Stimmungs-Nulllinie. Und warum soll man keine Zufriedenheit über die eigene Leistung und das dadurch Erreichte ausdrücken dürfen, solange das nicht in Rumprotzerei, wie andernorts zu sehen, ausartet?
