When I traveled to the USA the first time (West Coast in the summer of 2000) I thought I would find many incredible products you cannot get in Europe. Okay, there were some differences (Gatorade drinks in gallons and in many different colors for example, bigger packages of products in the USA) but all in all the supermarkets in Europe/USA offer nearly the same. I do not understand why should supermarkets open 24 hours? Never in my life I had the need to buy noodles or bananas at 3 o'clock in the night... In Hamburg Penny Markt/Rewe, Edeka, Lidl and Aldi open from 7.30 am until 9 pm, I think that is more than enough.

[@majamogens]

Germany (Europe in general) is a much older country, hence many old buildings that are difficult to make accessible, and correspondingly smaller distances between the buildings where there is no room for handicap ramps.

[@sluggo206]

Yes, I don't know if they're comparing things of equal age. The US has much fewer cobblestone streets because they were built later, many formerly cobblestoned streets were paved over in the early 20th century for fast cars, and the preference for wide streets which made it easier to retrofit sidewalks.

[@Kloetenhenne]

Houses in the us are also usually not as sturdily built as old German buildings so probably easier to tear them down and rebuild them to be more accessible.

[@sluggo206]

@@Kloetenhenne Even in the US buildings built after the 1930s or 1970s are less sturdy than those built before. I give two years because there are two different phenomena. After WWII a lot of housing was hastily built, and identical tract houses and cheap garden apartments became common. In the 1980s Wall Street started financing much of the housing and commercial buildings. Before that it was individual owners who intended to keep the building for a hundred years and pass it to their descendants.Or at least it was local tract developers who had a long-term commitment to the community. When Wall Street moved in, it wanted a 20-year return on its investment and didn't care what happened to the building afterward because the investors would be gone and investing in another building. So buildings were made for a 20-year lifespan, especially commercial buildings like big-box stores. Because it was assumed that after 20 or 30 years fashions would dhange and people would want a different building instead, and that would provide another opportunity for investor profits.

[@robertdendooven7258]

@@sluggo206 The law doesn't care about the age of the building.

[@sluggo206]

​@@robertdendooven7258 If you're referring to handicap access, the (US) law grandfathers old buildings (leaves them as is), but if you make substantial renovations or changes, then you have to make it comply with current rules. That may apply more to wiring, shape of the building, etc, than to handicap access (adding elevators, widening doors and hallways).

I lived in Spain for 5 years, more precisely in Catalonia, and found that everything there was more handycap friendly than in Germany. It is even required by law. Even old buildings from Roman times were equipped with elevators. Here in Germany it is more difficult, because according to building regulations there must even be a step or a drain at the entrance. One step is cheaper, so most buildings have one step. In Germany, an elevator is only required to be installed from 4 floors upwards, which is why only 4 floors are usually built to save costs. 😖

Definitely the many public restrooms. Once you've experienced some kind of urge and looking desperately for a restroom (paid for or not) you get the idea. Not to have to pay (out of the right coin and you're busted) is another nicety. Variety at hardware and clothing stores is better. As a tourist the longer opening times are also very convenient. And the standardization of many things where in Europe every country has its own procedures. The wider and straighter streets with the designated turning lanes and traffic lights make driving in the US easier. That does not apply to older cities where that is not the case (e.g. Boston). I don't care about custom cars. But I like the gung-ho approach to DIY many things. Even though the outcome is not always safe. Duct tape to the rescue!

Sweet corn is a different variety from the corn used in animal feed, biofuels, and products. Sweet corn is only like 5% of total corn production.Corn is in all processed food and animal feed because the USDA subsidizes it so it's cheap. The subsidies come out of Depression-era price supports for farmers.Cows eat grass so when farmers feed them corn they're prone to getting sick so farmers give them a lot of antibiotics. And high-fructose corn syrup is unhealthy: your body doesn't recognize it as filling so it makes people eat more calories; that and other ultra-processed food is partly why Americans have gotten obese since the 1970s. That's the distortion that occurs with subsidized corn. Some Americans drink Mexican Coca-Cola because it has real sugar instead of HFCS like it used to do here. So enjoy sweet corn but don't be jealous of the other corn: it's unhealthy and not environmentally sustainable.

Paris has also some sidewalks which are not accessible with a wheelchair.... Spain or Prag I don't know. Hope that gives you some answers to your question.

The one of thev reason why public transportation isn't as good 8n the US as it is in Europe is because the US Government bowed down to the Automotive industry in the 50s to make sure the interstate highway system was a success. Because of that , many cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, , Dallas, Houston, Detroit, NYC etc that had extensive street car systems saw them dismantled and since the early 1970s , major metro areas have been trying to rectify that. Over the last 30 yrs, speaking from experience as a rider of LA's public transit system, it has improved since the opening of the Metro Blue line light rail in 1990 and continues to improve with every public transportation funding measure that passes.

Yeah, about the littering, as a dane I am disgusted by the litter we have around here, but almost everywhere I go abroad there's way more litter, and for this specific example, the US is orders of magnitude more dirty, that said, there certainly are places elsewhere in Europe that makes the US look clean in comparison.

Deana and Phil, you guys are GREAT!, I enjoy watching your KZbin clips, very fun to see all the things you do and places you go to. I always look forward to the next video and see what's going on. I would love to visit Germany one day, it has always been my top location to see. Thanks for what you do!!!!!

[@w.alan.21]

good quality video, audio and humor

[@DeanaandPhil]

Thank you for the kind words and support! We enjoy making these videos and try to make some serious topics lighthearted. We are hoping once Covid calms down a bit that we can travel around again! There are a lot of places we still would love to see and it seems like the list is constantly growing thanks to all the recommendations! 😍

Loved the series when you were visiting and documenting about different German towns to decide where to move next... Have you decided? When are you really planning on moving?!

I’m jealous of the inexpensive beer in Germany! $15 for a 6 pack of Augustiner in the US is borderline criminal! 😂

[@rureal7742]

That was very entertaining!! How many realize you both thought many of these articles are pretty funny . though your surprise about Phil being jealous about the bulk and sports. Barbecue are incredible and want to try those out too.

[@stephaniea.7527]

love the subscribe censor 😂😂 phil’s jealousy is coming through!

[@CardThrone]

I live in midwest USA and there is tons of littering going on 😂i see people throw trash out of their car windows all the time

[@captainamerica5826]

I've read several comments about corn here in the US we eat sweet corn it's very good tender and sweet we eat it will salt and butter or lime pickled corn, fried corn, cornbread is a southern food so is grits, shrimp and grits is very popular in the south I heard that Europeans only have field corn which is what we feed to live stock it's hard and tasteless

[@haviksklauw]

In the Netherlands may no lightswitsches insite the bathroom because of the steam from the shower

[@partysan9959]

Dispensaries in the US makes me incredibly jealous!! 🤯

[@mixtlillness9825]

Lol! Deana all hamming it up!

[@loisdeleeuw8009]

I am dutch living in alabamawith my american husband. We dont pay for public toilets in the netherlands most of the time. I find food in lunchrooms cheaper in the netherlands, I also hate only unhealthy lunches are cheap in US and where I am from there is more budget cheap lunch

Handicapped friendly - ever tried getting a wheelchair over cobbled streets? But then old buildings and streets are nice, too. But maybe they were talking about land? Like, National Parks? Bathroom light switches Come to Britain, you have to pull a string! And no sockets in the bathroom, except shaving points. Working in housekeeping in hotels, I still could not get my head around to plan mirrors/dressing tables near a socket in the bedroom when refurbishing bedrooms. In my flat in Germany we plugged the hairdryer in in the bathroom, good lighting and mirror. Confidence in Amis. As a German living in Britain, in an area where we have a lot of Amis, I agree with Phil on behalf of my German AND British mentality. Music NO. No. No. Hollywood The British film industry in the last 20 years has come a long way. And consider how many British TV shows have been re-made in the US. Superheroes not my scene, so cannot comment. I would say the British aren't jealous, but I guess Hollywood successfully raided the US comic heroes lately, so ...yes...?

[@joykind4258]

In Deutschland, you even see women scrubbing the sidewalk! Very clean. But where I live (Collin County, Texas, north of Dallas) it's very clean everywhere.

[@elbob17]

The rage that comes over me when I see someone blatantly littering is hard to explain.

[@LarryHatch]

Germany has some amazing American football teams and a couple of those guys made it in the NFL over here. Lots of American kids play semi-pro ball in Germany after their college years. There are scores of American football teams in Germany and they often do KZbin vids.

[@gracey5512]

Going to 24 hour drive-throughs in your PJs

[@benpadtberg1438]

there was not a single thing on that whole list i am jealous of (im German) cause either we can actually get that here or watch stuff like that here or we have simmilar things that are even better in my oppinion .

[@syearty5621]

Definitely love British music and musicians!

[@billrener4897]

I just came across this couple. Really enjoyed this video. I wonder where in the USA Deana is from.

[@esterguerrero9759]

If you haven't been yet, Selgros seems to be the "Costco" in Germany. Lots of protein options in bulk. Not so much of bulk option for produce though.
