Do you 2 have plans for kids in the Future? I know an Eismann Who makes the best Eis in the world. His name is Bruno and he lives in Bevern. he is Italian and he makes eis since 1982. And every Eissorte he makes is a creation from him. A new eissorte from his is Coca Cola, Cookies is really good, Gummibärchen Eis is very good too and he make even more eissorten who are perfect. When you want to make are comparison video where Eisdilen and Eis Unternehmen ein VS machen sollen würde ich euch bruno vorschlagen. LG aus Germany, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Ostwestfalenlippe

@@Bocky_B They are also the cheaper ones in Germany (called discounter) and you won't get "special stuff" there. But the quality is fine, especially for the price. Other big supermarkets are Edeka or Rewe for example. They are more expensive but have a bigger selection in special stuff and more brand products.

6 Tops, 4 bottoms, a vest with lots of zip pockets, 2 scarves (one dressy silk, and 1 knit), 1 rain jacket, 1 dress, 1 sneaker pair, 1 semi dressy flats pair, a cardigan sweater, a warm wrap, 2 long sleep shirts, unders, socks, 1 bra, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, buy toiletries there. Wear some of the items on the list and you will have plenty of room to bring things back. Backpack held laptop, iPad, camera, electronics and all that. Vest held all the documents, phone and other items I would usually put in a purse. I packed a small empty purse so I didn’t have to carry one during travel. This was a 21“ carryon, and a small backpack for a 3 week trip. Skip the hair dryer and curlers, just get a good cut and some product that works with your natural hair. Only cosmetic was a combo cheek/lip color, concealer, mascara, eyeliner, and crayon type eyeshadow stick. Never needed more.

[@blueskies7538]

Thanks! I’m planning a 14 day trip to Germany on a budget so only bringing one suitcase. I’m screenshooting this comment so I’ll remember the tips!

[@Speireata4]

One thing I would like to add: If you plan to do a lot of walking and sightseeing, bring/wear comfortable shoes and DON'T wear high heels or flip flops. A blister on your foot can ruin your whole vacation and many cities and villages have areas that are paved with cobblestone or gravel or other uneven materials that make flip flops very uncomfortable and high heels dangerous to wear.

[@emjayay]

I work at a major tourist place in NYC and see women tourists wearing heels every day. What are they thinking? It's like a European city - lots of walking. News flash tourists: getting around the Statue of Liberty takes a lot of walking besides getting to the boat. You don't drive in and park in a lot.

[@Be-Es---___]

But German cobbled stone streets will ruin shoes and feet. Specially in smaller towns.

[@emjayay]

@@Be-Es---___ In Bruge it's a long walk from the train station to the center of town. All cobblestones. Some people were testing the durability of their rolling suitcase wheels by banging along all the way there. My luggage is backpack style - sometimes worse but in that case way better.

[@lphaetaamma291]

[@auraluna7679]

@@DeanaandPhil It is of course always safer to type on a keypad that hundreds of people have touched before... Yeah no, that's for sure :-( Guys, go to the bank, take out money in all kinds of bills and better tip a few cents more. This is more hygenic than a contaminated keypad and the waitress is happy to get a little more tip for exposing herself to potential corona carriers all day long!

[@katjahuskinson3428]

Another good tip is to not overfill your suitcase. You're most definitely going to buy something to take back with you (planned or unplanned) so it's always good to leave some space for that. I like to just fold my clothes and put them in on the way there and then roll them up on the way back cause rolling clothes really saves a lot of space! 😉

[@jackybraun2705]

I made the mistake of thinking I could pick up shampoo, deodorant etc when visiting the US from Germany, so I didn't pack any. Then I went to a supermarket (Target) to stock up and was really shocked at the prices! They were about 3 times the price!

[@rapietfire144]

Thats german law. On "mehrspurigen Schnellstraßen" multiple track Highways you are obliged to stay on the right.... and NEVER EVER overtake on the right if the overall traffic is faster than 80km/h. Anything less than 80km/h on a Highway tends to get a "Stau" traffic jam where you are allowed to pass on the right.

Great information! I will save this when hopefully next year, since this year didn't work out lol, I will make my European trip! You also helped me win an arguement too because you mentioned that if we don't have travel insurance and need to see a doctor it is quite expensive - I was being told healthcare was covered for everyone (citizens and otherwise) overseas and I said no only for those who contribute aka taxpayers - so thank you for that! I enjoy your channel and wish lots of happiness and good health together for many years to come!

[@DeanaandPhil]

Haha nice! 😋 Don't quote us on this, but we are pretty sure you're supposed to have travel insurance or some type of insurance when you travel to Germany. If you're applying for a German visa they usually check this, but if you are allowed access upon arrival there's usually no check. We're pretty sure this is correct and I'm sure someone will correct us if not!

[@colleenleigh8227]

Deana and Phil forgot to mention if you are taking prescription medication you need to get a letter from your doctor, it helps when you get to the border if they question your medication. And also in might be advisable to see a Travel Doctor who will help with any medical needs you may have ( especially if you have some major health problems). A travel doctor is GP who specialises in needs for people who are traveling (especially overseas.)

I've never had a problem. No prescription opiods though.

[@leonb2637]

Prescription drugs, even over the counter drugs should be in their original containers. I use a CPAP, it would be a good idea to have a copy of the prescription for it or a letter from your doctor so can bring with your carry on bags on flights.

A good midsized backpack, sports bottle and walking shoes were all I needed.

The last time I used the Deutschebahn app which like he said is really good. Previously I booked some trains ahead from the US and printed out the ticket page. Different types of trains at different times can have very different prices. Sometimes the transfer time seems too short (like a few minutes) on some itineraries so watch out for that. Of course if some guy decides to kill himself by jumping in front of a train in Brussels the whole system schedule can suffer and make you miss the connection anyway.

[@alveraan1]

I love how they finger count differently, just like in that scene from Inglourious Basterds. At 2:31, she uses the index, middle and ring fingers to count 3, while he uses the thumb, index and middle finger.

[@paulhaynes8045]

Good spot! Different countries/cultures have different ways of even doing the simplest things. For example (using the only two countries I'm familiar with) in the UK we generally start with 1, but in Hungary, they regard 0 as the first number - they have an M0 motorway and keyboards have the 0 on the left. Their dates are also the 'sensible' way round - 10th May 2023 in the UK is 10/5/23, but in Hungary it's 23/5/10 (although both of these make more sense than the US way of writing dates!). And the same applies to names - first name first in the UK, but surname first in Hungary. They also have a very weird way of telling the time after the half hour in Hungary. Basically they take the time away from the next hour - but it's not as simple as just saying ten to six. Despite living there for several months every year from 2001 to the pandemic, I've never quite understood this - I just avoid it!

[@Kaizerzydeco1]

We bring one plug adapter and a standard North American extension cord so we can plug in all our chargers and power supplies at the same time. The extension cord is also helpful in old hotels with few sockets or when the socket is in an inconvenient place. Compared to Canada, mobile coverage in Germany is cheap so we had no problem with that, and Canadian bank debit cards work in German automated tellers with minimal to no extra fees than what we would pay at home.

A really good video for getting information about travelling to Germany (Europe). For me as a German it's funny but about the toilet things I did it right that when I travel inside Europe. For Example, I was last year for a week in London UK and only with hand luggage so I decided to get only the really necessary things in my backpack like clothes and a second pair of shoes, teeth brush, Electronic shaver and very important a switch for the power ;-). So first thing I did in London was to drive to the city from Heathtrow Airport and checked via google maps a small supermarket near by my hotel in West Ham (north east London) to get deo, teethgel and a suncrem as well. Long story short it makes it easier to get through the security and border control especially when you leave the european union.

[@deejayjan85]

I don´t know why so many people say that we have to pay for using the toilet and that it is not free in Germany. I know, sometimes you need to pay for the toilet, but it is actually not so very often. Maybe in other regions it appears more often, but the place I live (Hamburg and surroundings) you only seldom find places you have to pay for the toilet. And as all places who sell drinks, like restaurants, pubs, diners etc. are forced by law to offer free toilets, you will actually always find a toilet for free. The most cases I was paying for the toilet, I actually didn´t have to pay. I was just giving a tip to the cleaner.

If your are a 'senior' depending on the country (62-65) you may get a 'senior' discount on transportation and museums for example. Usually your passport will have your birthdate to qualify. Also bring a shopping bag as not usually not provided for free if at all in grocery stores.

[@krawlb4walking802]

Though you may have to pay for it ..it’s worth 😃the small amount for such a well kept, clean bathroom. What impressed me is in the convenient stores for example you pay to use the bathroom but they give you a receipt giving you in-store credit to apply to items purchased at the store. I’ve never seen so many clean public bathrooms in my life! Also, I would highly recommend (At least for Americans) If you use any rubbing alcohol for cleaning surfaces or your hands..pack the large plastic bottles in your suitcases ( I always double ziplock mine) because apparently while you can purchase it in Germany at a pharmacy ..it’s sold in very small quantities at a much higher price.

If you look at things that way, it's basically like you got to use the bathroom for free because you bought something there. Pretty cool.

Bring your own country's multi-way power adapter, so that all of your home-appliances you brought with you will work from just 1 x EU power adapter :) We travel from the UK to Germany a lot and it always helps to have a 4-way UK power adapter in the hotel room, ready for our phone / speaker / laptop / toothbrush / shaver to charge from :)
