Hi Diana ! Thank you for placing the mirror in front of us germans so we can better identify what makes up our own culture, that's pretty cool and helps us a lot in seeing the cultural background of others who might live next door to us, and thus seeing that german culture should not be the scale or rule for the rest of the world. I found this was also a very nice experience in my job when I had a lot of contact with colleagues and customers from i.e. north america, asia or other european countries. For example, when you exchange business cards with a chinese person, he will always give it to you with both hands, and you better do it the same way, when you take it or present your own. Also it would be considered quite impolite if you just put the card in your pocket, but not to read it carefully first. I found this quite nice meanwhile, and like a lot when I notice that my business partner appreciates this showing of respect. Keep on doing such videos, thanks for your work !

This is my second year in a small city in Bavaria and it killed me that our Weihnachtsmarkt was cancelled, I was really looking forward to it almost since january when it ended :p

"Have a good birthday" is not a faux pas, because it's not congratulatory, but just a wish. "Have a nice vacation"-like. "Happy birthday!", before the actual birthday, *that* is the faux pas. In German, you'd say "Feier schön!", and on Monday, you'd go "Alles Gute nachträglich!" Yes, we Germans can be "nachtragend". ;-)

You can avoid all the bottles, if you use a soda stream. I am living in a flat on the 5th floor and there is no elevator. It is heavy to carry all bottles upstairs. And when they are empty the bottles must back downstairs again. That is a stupid system, so I bought a soda stream, and I am using the water which is in the house. Sometimes I mix it with fruit sirup.

[@robertomanz6399]

Just because you might use a credit card doesnt mean you need "credit" or cant afford the item. If you pay the amount within the 30 days there are no fees. Also many cc have excellent points systems and reward systems , at least in North America. Times have changed a lot and now ALDI and LIDL , et al. all take credit cards with NO problems the last few years in Germany. YOu can use a debit card, credit card or cash. By the way also in their USA stores ALdi and LIdl also accept credit cards now too. // ALso, the taking of other peoples' packages is standard in New York City where I live and has been standard for decades. We help each other German style as you call it by taking each others packages , no problem. It may be a Canadian thing to not take each others packages but at least in Greater NY it s standard. Also my parents llived in central New Jersey and it was standard to take each others packages even in a rural or suburban setting. // Enjoyed your 21 points of becoming Germanized, Quite true but comical as well. Gruss. R.

Ooooh... strategies at the cashier. Cashiers in Germany are the worst. But if you find yourself strategizing what to put first or where the perishable stuff should go at the cashier... Every time i come back from vacation, the first stressful experience is stocking up on food - specifically when i reach the cashier.

Pfand or Deposit for beer is 8 Cent. For water, sparkling water, schorle and soda it's 25 Cents. If you have beer with "Bügel" (flip top bottle) it's 15 Cent.

[@sandyrose7004]

I´m that much used to the deposit system that I´ve already forgotten that this is not standard everywhere. It´s actually a very good thing, even if not every german would agree. But it really helps to keep the environment clean. Even if you leave some bottles on the street, it would not take a long time till someone picks them up. And it´s also helpfull for the homeless to make some money with it. Today it´s such a normal thing not to throw the bottles into the trash bucket but place them next to it so others are not forced to grab into the trash buckets when collecting the bottles.

[@Yozora0no0Hoshi]

Idea for another video, since I’m considering moving to Germany. Where do you go shopping for basic things since the stores are different? Clothing in particular. The US (and I’m sure Canada too) is very chain-based. I wouldn’t know where to go for jeans, leggings, socks, underwear, etc. And look nice. Size conversions? Learning your metric measurements?

[@a0flj0]

Stores are everywhere. Store employees will happily counsel you on size and stuff. Food stores: Aldi, Lidl. Clothes: C & A, H & M, Woolworth. DIY/home improvement/construction: Hornbach, Obi. Electronics: Mediamarkt. Furniture/kitchenware/bed sheets and stuff: Ikea. These are stores you should find everywhere in Germany. But right now I would think twice. Jobs aren't plenty, right now, in Germany.

[@good-Vibes0nly]

Very interessting ! you got some good points there. And it's so funny to see that you are seeing the positive parts of all german habbits. It shows you are a positive person BUT this things are just formal habbits that people do unconsciously. Not very positive at all its just "normal" to do it. And a few things you have experienced are also not really GERMAN but more typical for BERLIN. And Berlin ist not a typical german city at all.

[@Tippel3]

aaah, die bekannte Tütentüte! Die befindet sich wohl tatsächlich in jedem Haushalt. Pfand, rausstellen ist eine gute Option für Obdachlose oder Personen mit wenig Geld, klar. Allerdings könnte ich mir das selber gar nicht erst leisten. Ich mach das schon mal wenn sich eine Flasche eingeschlichen hat mit 15ct Pfand die man gewöhnlich nur in Supermärkten zurückgeben kann und da lauf ich nicht für eine Flasche hin. Aber alles an Pfand? Allein was du da im Video in der Hand hälst ist 1€ wert. Jetzt kommt es natürlich drauf an ob und wieviel Flaschen man überhaupt hat, bei dir hört es sich aber nach einigen an. Aber dieses Unverständnis dafür ist vermutlich einfach deutsch, wer weiß, vielleicht kommst du da auch noch an. Bis dahin freuen sich die Flaschensammler.

oh most people still find it umcomfortaple to have to get the package from the neightbor especially when you live in a small village where the deliver comes via a borowed worker from a privat company it can happen that your neightbor suddenly is the trashcan or the the woods so yeah

[@skyscraperfan]

Accepting packages for someone you do know can get you into trouble, because if the person you give the package is not the person he pretends to be, you may have to pay for the damage. So if you do not know the neighbour, better ask him to show you his ID to prove that he really is the correct receiver of the package.

Sehr schöne Zusammenstellung! Ich bin nur verwundert, dass man sich in kanadischen Wartezimmern nicht grüßt. Warum nicht? In Deutschland werden die Leute auch schon immer unhöflicher. Wenn man in einer Behörde wartet, kann man sich auch nicht darauf verlassen, dass Neuankömmlinge grüßen. Und wenn man spazieren geht und einem jemand entgegen kommt, sind es hauptsächlich ältere Leute, die einen grüßen. Warum darf man eigentlich in Kanada sein Bier nicht auf der Parkbank trinken? Welcher Gedanke steht da hinter? Darf man wenigstens nichtalkoholische Getränke trinken? Beim Bezahlen im Supermarkt: bedeutet debit card die ECkarte? ECkarten sind hier spätestens seit Corona das gängigste Zahlungsmittel, häufiger als Bargeld. Meine Kreditkarte habe ich schon seit Jahren nicht mehr benutzt. Ich brauchte sie hauptsächlich, um im Internet einen Flug zu buchen.

[@silkwesir1444]

Der Gedanke hinter dem Verbot, in der Öffentlichkeit Alkohol zu trinken, ist wohl, dass man sich erhofft, dann auch weniger Betrunkene in der Öffentlichkeit zu haben, die Unruhe stiften könnten. Zwar ist das nur ein indirekter Zusammenhang, aber es scheint wohl zu funktionieren (nicht zu 100% natürlich, aber macht nen deutlichen Unterschied)

You can wish someone a nice birthday already on friday, but the people don´t want that you say "congratulation to your birthday" before it is the day of the birthday. That comes from the bible. You live only when it is God´s will and you don´t know if it is so. So you wait until the day comes and when it is God´s will that you are still alive, you can be happy and celebrate the day. Wenn der Herr will und wir leben, so werden wir auch dieses oder jenes tun. (Jakobus 4; 15) Long time ago for example someone who wrote in a letter that he wants to meet someone in springtime, he wrote at the end of the letter the letters "s.c.j." ( „sub conditione jacobaea“) that means under the condition of Jakobus - if it is God´s will and we are still alive (so Gott will und wir leben)

If you are a true german, you might start drinking tab water, so you dont have all these plastic bottles in your house, don't have to buy new ones and bring the old ones back.

Diana, be assured that even most of us Germans are judgmental when seeing someone wearing socks in sandals or more specific Birkenstocks. Most of us Germans do find this weird too. But you're right there is still a certain number of my fellow Germans around that even today do their best to manifest this stereotype of Germans like to wear socks in sandals.

@@DianaVerry But why do you not use a credit card in Germany? Most of the big supermarkt-chains (Edeka, Rewe, Penny, Lidl) and many restaurants accept it.When you call a taxi by phone at Taxizentrale you can also pay by credit card (when you stop a taxi on the street, better ask before!). When you order things in the Internet, nearly every serious trade-company (atlasformen.de, paul-schrader.de or whatever) will let you pay by credit card.

@@janpracht6662 Why use a credit card when you can pay cash? I online use a credit card for online shopping, especially for foreign online shops, e.g. from the UK or the USA.

I agree with everything but not with your weinschorrle. Southern germans drink wine because of the romans. And northern germans drink beer. But no one here would mix it with water. Some snobs do this as I have heard. Sincerely greetings. K.K.

And something else: You live in Berlin, and you say that people are very direct. You must know that people in Berlin are very direct. Very very very direct!!! Much more than anybody else in the world. We call it the "Berliner Schnauze". Ask somebody.

how are Germans as neighbors? In NorthAmerica many can be noisy i know it is a difficult question to answer , because everyone is different

@@torontoash45 normaly you won't recognise if they're at home. Little children or dogs may be different and, of course, as you said, people are different.
