7 Things I HATE About Living in GERMANY!

[@nikbiz]

Many of these things you describe apply to Sweden too. It's incredible how your world opens up once you travel abroad for a few years.

[@Rico]

Absolutely! It was one of the best decisions of my life, and I hope to aspire other people to at least try it out. Glad you were bold enough to do it! Keep being awesome.

[@davidjones5611]

@@Rico I have lived in Sweden 28 yrs. I am English , I cannot wait to retire in less than three yrs and move to Cyprus something i have been planning for a long time. Everything you dislike about Germany is so much the same in Sweden. My three big reasons for getting out of Sweden is climate, cost of living and the cold unsocial Swedish people. Life as a pensioner in Sweden is not the life i want after working for 47 years. The positives of moving to Cyprus will heavily outnumber the negatives. Thanks Rico for all your vlogs they are very interesting,factual and informative.

[@pinkimietz3243]

But you have less germans in sweden.

[@dagsogaard]

In scandinavia, we call the swedes "Reserve Germans" because they are so alike.

[@GTsampiras]

​@@RicoDude, I've never been in Cyprus. I studied in Bremen, Germany though. Are women in Cyprus more friendly than in Germany?

[@AmunRa203]

I am what they love to call an "Ausländer"(foreigner) living in Germany for my job, and I can 100% relate to the points made here, especially about the wording of contracts and legal letters and getting licences. I used to think only foreigners notice these things about Germany, so its refreshing to hear a native born German talk about these issues.

[@habentsehaye9478]

I live in Germany. What you said is perfectly explained.

[@geetslys]

In Australia, we call what you talked about at the start of the video 'tall poppy syndrome' (you can search it up on wikipedia, there's actually an article!). Moved from there 1 year ago and feel the same way in Cyprus. Love it here.

[@Rico]

Hey! I researched it and yes, indeed, exactly what I was referring to. Glad to have you in Cyprus. So interesting to see people moving here from all over the world. Also, cool channel!

[@arjanvaneersel]

Great video, just as many of your other videos. Your arguments are so recognizable and also apply to the Netherlands. Most of them are reasons why I left NL already in 2006. And after having lived in several different countries, including Cyprus, I decided to come back (to Cyprus) and settle in Cyprus in a few months and run my new IT startup from there.

[@AdhishMajumdar]

Oh yes, all the points you make are true. I have lived in other European countries and some of these things are present there too, but nowhere near the scale as in Germany, and especially the amount it affects my daily life. In fact, after only 4 months of living here I decided to move out and will do it in a few weeks from now!

[@martinfiedler]

Perfekt zusammengefasst! 😅

Danke dir, da bin ich erleichtert. :)

[@Kingly-meh]

am from the Netherlands it is the same here. Is getting crazier with the regulations and rules. Because of you brother am preparing to leave when am ready to Cyprus. I looked every country under the sun in EU. Cyprus is the best cheapest coolest choice ever. Keep it up with your great content brother!! Amazing work!

I lived in the Netherlands for 21 years and now 10 years in Germany. I can tell you Holland is a super friendly flexible country compared to Germany. I was much much happier in the Netherlands. In Germany people are so rude and I just managed to make 1 friend in 10 years. I still am friends with some old Dutch friends.

[@Barbyohlala333]

Im so happy you mentioned German tv… it’s the most toxic and horrific and nobody ever pointed it out. Don’t forget the terrible shows like tv total which just bash people and ridicule everyone different - I am sick when thinking about it

[@andrewslifestyle2289]

Interesting Vlog Rocco. I can relate. When I was 15 my parents sent me from Cyprus to Berlin, Germany. I had to learn the language, complete high school, and then College. In as much as I enjoyed the city life I can relate to German negativity. Most people there I felt, had no interest becoming friends with foreigners ( this was the 70’s) I felt an outsider and it was tough to make friends. My neighbors just kept to themselves. I’m not anti German as my mother was German. Maybe the negativity had to do with the division of the City at the time. I left many years ago and enjoyed life in Cyprus, The UK, USA and now, the laid back lifestyle in Thailand. Will eventually end back in Cyprus. Now, my Condominum complex here in Thailand, is full of Germans and Austrians😜 but they are friendlier here. 😊

[@Rico]

Hey! Thanks, now I know your story, Andrew, very interesting! Absolutely! I'm also not Anti GER, I hope this video was not displaying this. And there are of course awesome Germans as well, in other countries and in Germany as well. So, I hope people don't take the video too seriously. :)

[@GTsampiras]

​@@RicoUnfortunately, 😕😞 the same situation 😔😅exists in Greece as well. Mainstream tendencies and the state there forces you to do exactly what they expect from you. It's the post World 🌎 War II order. I was forced to serve with politicians that cooperated with President Obama in the past and inherited a business from my mother and all the obligations that came with it. Someone with a different opinion becomes an outsider.

[@MarcMelissa]

Ich bin mir nicht sicher was ich davon halten soll, ein Land was gemessen am BIP die viert größte Weltwirtschaft ist in ein so negatives Licht zu rücken. Ist man nicht gerade als Auswanderer sehr erfolgreich, da man aus Deutschland viel mitgenommen hat? Wir haben Deutschland zumindest nicht verlassen weil wir unglücklich sind, wir haben das Land verlassen um unseren Horizont zu erweitern und wir sind dankbar für unsere Zeit in Deutschland.

[@Rico]

Die Absicht war nicht, DE ins negative Licht zu rücken. Ich bin sehr dankbar dafür, in DE aufgewachsen zu sein. Das Auswandern hat mir einiges beigebracht, und ich bin auch dafür dankbar. Ich stimme somit eigentlich allen Punkten zu, und hoffe, dass das Video nicht falsch aufgenommen wurde. Die 7 Punkte sind von mir einfach nur als Meinung in den Raum geworfen worden, deswegen sage ich gegen 19:19 auch "I'm not saying that I'm right here. Some people agree, and some people may not agree. I respect both of them". Um seinen Horizont zu erweitern, gehört nun mal auch dazu, zwei Meinungen objektiv betrachten zu können. Ich meine, genauso ist mein vorheriges Video ja auch leicht negativ gegenüber Zypern. Das ist zum Teil natürlich auch etwas polarisierendes Marketing. Hoffe, das macht es etwas verständlicher! LG.

[@Praxidikai]

Wer Deutschland nicht verlaesst wird ungluecklich.

[@BerndEgert]

@@Rico Na, das nenne ich mal einen geistigen Rückwärtssalto. Erst kein gutes Haar an Deutschland lassen und das dann "nur als Meinung in den Raum geworfen" zu haben. Das ist zu billig. Man kann ja auch als Meinung in den Raum werfen, dass der Beitrag von einem Idioten stammt ... ich sag ja nichts, ich mein ja nur. Wie beim schnack zwischen Nachbarn am Gartenzaun, wenn man für einen Dritten auch nicht ein gutes Wort findet, sondern einzig lästert, nur dumm schwätzt und tratscht. Mehr ist der ganze Beitrag auch nicht oder glaubt irgendjemand, in Deutschland reißen jetzt alle die Augen auf, schlagen sich vor den Kopf und starten eine soziale Revolution? Objektivität fordert immer nur der ein, der sehr subjektiv argumentiert. Wofür wirbt denn das hier breitgetretene polarisierende Marketing? Die Erklärung macht es nicht verständlicher, im Gegenteil aus einer verzeihlichen Dummheit wird mit diesen Kommentaren eine recht komplette Idiotie.

[@JoRosieQueen68]

If you ask me, it's not about Germany as a whole in the first place, coming here and also having visited Greece, Romania and Bulgaria, I can say one thing, conservatives really suck, I don't wanna be political but it seems to be a running theme, the negatives from here apply to Romania and to Bulgaria as well, Greece tends to be more liberal but those negatives can be seen there too from what I've heard, I did talk to others about it and the same applies to France and to Italy as well it seems so... what can we learn from here? liberals and progresive people are the ones that would happily help you and care and see you as an equal, other more right wing people will just look down on you so, there ya go.

[@MartinSeidel-i7f]

@@Rico Also dein Punkt bei 3:30 über die Konformität in D hat einen wahren Kern, aber du übertreibst völlig meiner Meinung nach. Und das Sperren des TikTok Videos ist ganz sicher nicht der Fall.

[@heatherclark8668]

The more I learn about other countries the more grateful I am that I live in Australia

[@SingularityZ3ro1]

I can relate to all of that. Especially the school part is tragic since it is the pivotal point in development. It was a horrific time, and I think I became who I am not because of this system, but despite it. A dialogue I remember very vividly was in the "Philosophy" class (Which had the motto, correct is what the personal opinion of the teacher is, both what you can philosophically and logically deduct): Me "When will we be allowed to think for ourselves here?" Teacher: "Well, that is too risky at this point". - No joke. My favorite fee was "GEZ" I think. Being first to pay a substantial amount as a person, and a second time with your business for state-owned TV production, which is then not even free from ads :-D I often thought, how would other people feel if I start to send them Invoices for a random product they did not order and did not use :-D Especially if you look at the blatant money squandering of these institutions. Well, likely to create more part-time jobs for politicians etc. that earn them a monthly compensation that is more than some people make in a year. Ok, GKV is much worse, and hard to beat in hostility and double standards toward young entrepreneurs. I could go on.- But as mentioned, most people here know it anyway :-D

[@SingularityZ3ro1]

PS: Any yes. I miss public transport here. But the DB... I can remember all too well paying more than it would have taken to fly on some occasions while not even having a seat (which I paid extra for) for 7 hours. - Or being stranded for hours, or even over the night, at random train stations. :-D

[@chakra7100]

I am a teacher in Germany and you cannot believe how individually we think about the schoolchildren (specially to the age of ten), helping them in every way you can so that they can individually climb up to their own peergroup. The development in regarding pupils as an individuum is strong since i was a troubled child at scholl ;-). Confirmity was good - now beeing yourself is much more ok in comparisson to my childhood (I am 48 now)

[@Gigi-rg7xy]

This was on point. The Jugendamt is another problem in Germany in my opinion. Good luck with being able to raise your child without constant rules and the watchful eyes of the "third parent"... Iykyk..

Agree.

[@pamelahauptmann4310]

You are right. I lived there for only 3 years as an American married to a German. I had to leave. Very restrictive. Beautiful, but unfriendly people. Rules rules, rules. The government wants conformity as you mentioned and...the people do it! Why? The country is physically beautiful, Many people are physically beautiful but they have been robbed of their culture and their very lives. I am now divorced as of about 4 years after 20 years of marriage. My husband is back in Germany. I met many kind people but mostly I think they live in fear. Such a waste. I hate to say it in many ways but I cannot stand many of them. Negative (something you mentioned) Cold (people), it was just stifling. I'm happy for you to be in Cyprus. Enjoy your life!

[@tayori3ryokou]

The radio-tv tax is crazy 😆 I moved to Germany a few years ago for a job. The workplace provided a relocation agency to me, who took care of all my registrations as well. This somehow fell inbetween the cracks. Then one day I got a letter to pay 500+ €. I asked my colleagues & friends: what the hell is this? I have no german tv channels, I did not even have tv at the time, nor spoke German well. They told me yeah you have to pay it anyways, there is no way out of this. This is some mafia-like stuff 😂 absolute nonsense

EVERYTHING you said 1000% true!!!!!

[@jaykjellberg5274]

the most interesting part about the video is the comments actually. Being originally from Russia (Saint Petersburg to be precise) and born in 94 I kinda felt that in my gut. Lots of older russians or young ones from small town really wanted to emigrate to EU. But honestly, when I was traveling to EU it always stroke that they do not live freely actually. We were going to Finland like 3-5 times per year just to hang out, see some concerts, rent a house on a lake and smth like this (absolutely love Finnish people btw:) but older people there were all "dead inside". I honestly believe that Eastern Europe now, along with places like Cyprus, maybe Portugal are the go to places. Cheap, safe, not that bureaucratic, more young people with entrepreneurial mindset, easier to do business. Honestly, before the war I would say that Tallin, Saint P, Kiev, Odessa, Krakow were like one of the best places to live in Europe. Mayyybe everything is like this in Europe because the median age in most of west EU countries is like 45+, which is insane. dunno

[@Rico]

Hey Jay, thanks for the comment. Very interesting to read your perspective and I basically with everything you said.

[@caraira1909]

In life you have to what is the best for you and what really works for you, no one is in your shoes and no one is going to live your life for you, so please never feel as if you have to explain or justify your decisions or the path you have chosen for your self. I love Germany, I came here 25 years ago to be with my husband. It is something I have never regreted. Germany is my home, it isn't perfect but I can't imagine my self living in any other corner of the world... it doesn't mean that everyone, native German or not, would or should feel the same. And I get how you feel, because I would never willingy go back to the country I was born, even when I know that my place in society there is better than here... still it doesn't feel like home. So , as long as you are happy, live your life under your own terms, live where you feel home, because, as you young people say: YOLO 😊

Also this incredible lack of style - with the same clothes they wear relaxing on the couch ,they go to a restaurant.A certain disinteress in personal hygiene,because it is a waste of water and soap,believe it or not in german households even the toilettpaper is rationed.Finally the germans are not exactly childfriendly.

[@maryb.9463]

I grew up in Germany, I just can confirm. I live in US now. I would be emotionally dead when I stayed in Germany. Also, Germans love helping poor people outside of the country but not inside the country. When you are weak in Germany they try to help you maybe a little bit to feel good about themselves, but when you are on their level, emotionally, education wise or financial then they are really jeoulous.

Wow! I don't speak German so didn't realise until now but everything you described seems to be a problem with most Western countries too. As someone from England I can relate to every point you talked about so this is not just Germany but most of Europe and I think this is one of the many reasons why UK voted to leave the EU. Like its an unhealthy mindset we are infected with, but we will still have this problem with our culture for many years to come, unless the politicians start encouraging people to have bigger aspirations. America is definitely more accepting of success, freedom, and capitalism but they also have a lot of other problems. I need to bring my business to Cyprus now :)

Good points. Education and discipline is Germany is (used to be) very good. That’s perhaps also why Germany is the fourth largest economy in the world. I have left Germany over 50 years ago and lived in over 20 countries all over the world. Every country has its downsides. Germans overseas complain about the countries they live in but want to tell the locals how they should live. But the more relaxed lifestyle is what we cherish.

[@blackbird7679]

Sadly, I have to agree with most of the things you mention. I left Germany 40 years ago and have no plans of ever returning. As far as the weather is concerned, that can't be helped. Mediterranean countries are blessed in this respect, but whether 5 months without rain is a good thing is another question. A lack of water, the heat and frequent wildfires are not something I would relish. As to the TV licence fee you have to pay that in other countries too. My Italian sister-in-law tells me that theirs is included in their electricity bill. Enjoy your life in Cyprus or wherever you decide to go. In the age of the internet and working from home, you can run a business from anywhere in the world.

For one, you cannot get Hartz-IV/Bürgergeld if you just don't wanna work a job. I grew up in a single parent household and my mother constantly had to send applications to jobs with few hours and low pay that don't fit her education, with the last few she had having a terribly disrespectful management and team. Furthermore, you cannot sell your stuff for profit and the Arbeitsamt tries to cut corners wherever they can. And not to mention that the paperwork is a hassle to because the job center of a modern country apparently can't do that stuff digitally. And it's also worth to mention that getting out of joblessness is just really difficult because you'll only get those low paying jobs with few hours, especially if you haven't worked in a while because you were homeless or had to raise a kid.

I'm very curious how the tax on religious people works

[@sebahulaga6832]

yup you are right

[@yiannishadjiloizou5501]

As a Cypriot iam shocked! When someone is criticising the system and generally the Cypriot way of life, is bringing example Germany and how everything there is in order working as Swiss clock!

Weil Europa ist auch unsere Land, es gehört nicht zu irgendwelche Mediokritätsradikaler.

Many central European countries are pretty similar, interesting! Even more happy to be in the Middle East. :)

[@serendipidy]

My dad tells me that Germany still works with faxes….. sigh….

[@JackHellson]

100% einverstanden

[@gruffelo6945]

I did what I wanted to do - I don't say it is easy but it is possible. If you just pack up and leave - I can't help but feel that you are a coward and/or traitor. How is Germany supposed to become better, when you just leave instead of trying to change what is bad?

[@lucabo1201]

Das Wetter ist halt einfach so Deutschland liegt halt auch nicht im Süden das musst du schon mit einbeziehen

[@johnroster9942]

Sounds much like Russia... Russian school is also conservative, teachers yelling "who do you think you are?!"... And people closed minded and complain about everything and hate ones in expensive cars.

[@mustafaissa5456]

I have been living in Germany 15 Years I agreed with you 4 Things but other things i think it's your opinion. Frist Taxes Is very high Krankenversicherung evry single month you must pay and you don't need to go hospital if you aren't sick but other country for European it's not like that Another problem is Tv. I never Watched tv but every single months i pay 55.08 Euro 💶 i dont know why. If will not pay sofort kommt Strafe 😊 Parkplatz Also problem But Internet is very good o didn't see any Jealousy for ther Germany people

[@George-Aguilar]

Homeboy sound American! 😂

[@theovondex7285]

I started an it company here in belarus with 7000 euros in Germany hahahahah maybe at least 150000 just to start .

[@thorralf]

Actually you are just generalising things. To utter flat stuff like: "German society is like..." cannot be true. It really depends on the surrounding (Rural, Urban, Western, Nothern, Southern or Eastern), on your way of being socialised, your education and off course your information bubble. I mostly experience people that listen to you if you found your opinion on facts, name the origin of the piece of information you quote. In every society you will find dull and stupid people and we recognise a right shift in Euope coming from laziness in thinking and poor information. You will never find simple answers to complex questions or problems. I assume that even where you live now you will find similar mechanisms maybe wrapped in other papers :)

[@heinruh9788]

Bye!

[@TiborgSGE]

This is such a huge overreaction!I agree with almost everything mentioned,but overall it's not as bad as you presented.70% of the World doesn't have warm water,warm meal,power and other stuff on daily basis and than you hear people like you crying about all the great stuff that can be achieved here.I agree 100% Germany is not perfect,but we have to be gratefull what we have. Some things we have here are not at all guaranteed at other places. You're banging about Germany like it's a third-world country.You feel yourself better elsewhere?Fine,but i find it unfair to degrade this country in such way and not to see the positive side of it. I repeat,i understand your points,but it's a huge overreaction and an extremely negative one.I do respect your opinion,but i see this country in a much better light.I moved here 10 years ago and will always be gratefull what Germany gave me. Cheers...

[@janejohnstone5795]

So in Germany....it is a very controlled and discipline country.....soo much government controlled....

[@bettinawehrmann3565]

Everybody can go if he don' t like it here!!!

[@gyorgygajdos1657]

Maybe you extrem Linksscheiß should go somewhere else

[@thaifalang4064]

bla bla, wieder mal bs labern was

[@nicolaicebanov7364]

Living in Germany for many years can confirm every point talked in the video. For easier understanding minuses of Germany you have to live abroad some time.

[@josefartzdorf5019]

Ihre Meinung ist Ihre Meinung, nichts dagegen einzuwenden, aber über welches Land reden Sie? Wir sitzen hier in einer internationalen Runde, und einer führte uns Ihr Video vor. Und wir alle, auch und gerade die nichtdeutschen Freunde, haben uns nur fassungslos angeschaut. Worüber redet dieser Mann? Wir sind Amerikaner, Kanadier, Neuseeländer, Niederländer, Briten, und natürlich Deutsche. Und niemand von uns wird gezwungen hier zu leben, und doch tun wir es alle aus Überzeugung und vor allem außerordentlich gerne. So gut wie nichts von dem was Sie Land und Leuten vorhalten ist uns jemals begegnet. Wir können nur vermuten, dass Sie irgendwelche Traumata zu bearbeiten haben, anders vermögen wir uns Ihre geradezu surrealen Empfindungen gegenüber diesem Land schlicht nicht zu erklären.

[@updaet6870]

Deine empathische Art(Sarkasmus) gibt ihm Recht

[@janejohnstone5795]

So...in Germany....you dont celebrate success....interesting....surprised..??

[@tysongarcia4170]

Not to mention all the time wasted in the supermarket because there is only one cashier working...and with the recycling of bottles...and lousy banks...and Deutsche Bahn...and..and...and🥲
