before moving to Germany 2 1/2 yrs ago, i've lived all over USA, also in UK, Denmark, and Thailand, and there are some specifically VERY German traits that i've noticed and largely revere; 1st and foremost, i LOVE the fact that Germans are VERY punctual (usually even early to appointments, just like me, often even earlier than i am!!!)... yes, kartoffel daily! Hamburg weather makes the rest of Germany seem like Miami Beach (GREAT city, sorry Phil but it is, one of the best big cities in the WORLD! but sh*tty weather!) i tip in restaurants here (15 to 20%) and for food delivery, but NOT for takeaway orders... bicyclists in Hamburg are freaking crazy (of course i'm spoiled by a year in Copenhagen!), even though we have bike lanes, most cyclists ride on the sidewalk, usually even the wrong way, and if you try to point them to the bike lane they'll swear at you! my biggest pfand haul was 13€ ... oh thumbs up of course, #351 (although you NEVER have responded to ANY of my comments!)

Punctuality is a wife thing. I'm from the US and my wife must be early for everything. 15-20 min early is the norm for her. Deana, how you get him ready early is you give him a time half an hour early. As a man, he probably doesn't know what time the event starts anyway, so he won't notice the difference. That's what my wife does to me.

On the topic of the weather the funny thing is that my German grandmother used to complain about the American weather. She immigrated to America in the early 1930s and I remember growing up she used to always complain about how it was never this hot/cold in Germany (we lived in Chicago). Then a few years after she passed, in 1994,I finally got to visit Germany and I roasted, it was 35° C almost every day. I looked up to heaven and said "grandma you lied".

The state of Michigan has a similar system as Germany when is comes to the deposit for recycling cans and bottles. You pay an initial deposit when you purchase soda/beer but then you can bring the cans back to the store to recycle and each can is worth 10 cents. The recycling machine prints you a coupon and you can use it at check out to pay. I’ve seen people return garbage bags full cans

I moved to the US from Germany was when I was 15. Even though I have an American father and a German mother and grew up near US military bases, it did not prepare me for actually living over here. Tipping, the education system, the extra-curricular school activities, the US attitudes towards nudity and cursing... all of them blindsided me in a big way.

I (German) usually tip 10% at restaurants. If the food is not good but the service was nice I tip anyway because the bad food isn't the fault of the waiter / waitress. So far I never had such a bad expierence that I didn't tip at all. When I order food (Pizzataxi) I usually tip 2 Euro. Around Christmas I tip the delivery guy from DHL 20€ and a little present - but only because he is so nice and always lightens up my mood with his jokes and positive attitude. My highest "Pfand" was 52,50€ and I am single. Don't ask.

Germany doesn't have the humidity. You don't want to open your windows when you have high humidity outside. Your A/C works harder because an A/C removes moisture from the air. When you turn the A/C off its not only cooling a room, but it's also removing moisture from the air. This was before I met my husband. He moved to Chicago and during the summer he would shut the A/C off and open the windows. He eventually killed his air conditioner. Yes the air conditioner was "old". He ended it's life a little earlier.

Highest recycling bottle/can deposit was around 280 Euro (due to cleaning up after a major festival with a big van and lots of plastic bags). Took me hours to get them all fed to the machines as these quickly go on strike due to backlog and it takes quite a while for staff to clean up behind them. Generally, if the deposit is higher than 50 Euro the cashier has to call a co-worker, as then the 4-eyes-check principle applies.

As always, enjoy your videos. This one had me in stitches. I laughed aloud when I listened to you two banter back and forth. I can tell you that Canada also does the V.A.T. - so when you see the price at any retail outlet ... yes, like our neighbours to the south, we do the same thing; add the tax at the cash register. We're used to it, but I recall while in Köln @ Rewe - what you see is what you pay. I loved it. As for healthcare, we're similar to Europe here in Canada. We have healthcare from the get-go. It may vary somewhat from province to province, but I can walk into any doctor's office; or the hospital and not have to take out a bank loan or max out a credit card to pay for any medical services. For that, I am most grateful. Yes, the tipping culture. Although I believe that our minimum wage in many parts of Canada is higher than our American counterparts, we do tip over here too; while in the United States, I make it a 'must do' given what American service workers have told me; their wages in some states are dreadfully low....so I will tip them well. When I was in Ohio, I had one of the sweet waitstaff tell me how much they made an hour and my jaw dropped. No wonder they work so hard and put up with so much nonsense. But when in western Europe I was told to tip but 'not to overdo it'. Thus while at a restaurant in Köln, my good friend told me to hold back on what I was initially going to give; the staff were still grateful for what I gave. Potatoes. Who doesn't love potatoes? My goodness! I would agree with Deana about the bread/pastries there in Deutschland: they're phenomenal. Oh...and coffee (I had to throw that one in there) is so good there. I never had a bad cup of coffee while in Germany. The smell of strudel while I walked through the Schildergasse was an experience that is permanently etched into my mind. As for the gassy comment: I was howling. Yeah, I had an oopsie with a friend who lived there on the eastside of the Rhine. I think it was the change in my diet that caused a few 'loud' moments, but at least I knew how to say: "Entschuldigung, es tut mir leid!" - much to his laughter. :D Looking forward to your next videos. Hope to return over your way; down river of course...but close by (Köln). Enjoy Dusseldorf. It looks like a great city; although I only saw it from my train window on my way back to Amsterdam, I would like to make it a day trip. Stay safe! Best wishes and enjoy those beloved bike rides. They're awesome! And I would agree to finish off this comment, the accommodation for cyclists there is outstanding compared to most of North America (Canada & the United States). It is sunny and warm here today 17°C in the Lower Great Lakes region. Have a coffee and strudel on me!

The US does have price per ounce. It's been this way since the 1980's. It's in really small print and you generally have to look for it. I found places like Marktkauf didn't do price per ounce. This is the one at Rhein Center. I remember my Swiss husband had to teach me how to price per ml, l, etc. Pampers were notorious at the Rhein Center for not having price per diaper.

When my parents came to visit us, they would arrive a block from our home about 15 minutes before their expected arrival. They would wait there and my father would time their arrival to arrive at our home precisely at the expected time. (I know it drove my parents crazy to be ten minutes late, but I never bothered to tell them to come 10 minutes early because we would be expecting them).

I always want to return my cans and bottles but can never find a place to return them, or if I do, the machine is broken down (do they ever repair it???) This was really bad when I lived in New York City; apartment was tiny and I wanted to do the right thing and return the empties, but whenever I managed to schlep my saved up bag of empties to the return place, it was ALWAYS broken/not in service. Ugh. And punctuality is SO cultural--I have a friend from Guyana and she invited me to a party. Started at 6PM. So I showed up at 6PM and she hadn't even gotten ready! I was the only white person she had invited and didn't know that 6PM really meant 8PM, lol. I babysat for her while she got ready. My lesson in Caribbean time.

Tipping: In the U.S. it used to be 15 to 20%, no copper, (guess now it's 20 to 30%.) In Germany it's 10%, but people have been known to be more generous during the pandemic. (I guess they are so glad that some restaurants are still open!) And quite honestly, I've been also giving more Trinkgeld lately, because I appreciate the fact that waiters and barbers (etc.) are out there risking their life trying to make a living.

about german "Pfand": i was at a music festival some years ago, 3 days with camping, we were late and got a spot at camping area next to the fence at the end. on sunday morning a vw camper van with a horse tailer outside the fence showed up. 5 guy jumped out, talk to the security guy who show up, moments later he opens the fence on a small spot. Then they started, as you can imagne, they were collecting "Pfandflaschen/dose" all over the place. The horse trailer was FULL and most of the van was filled with bags, after 2 1/2 hours !!! we asked one of the guys how much money they will make and were they gonna exchange that. Between 2000-3000 € and they will have to visit several supermarkets on monday to get their collected deposits back, because at some point they will be kicked out of a market because they are blocking the returning maschine.

On the topic of international potato dishes, try stamppot. It doesn't look like much, but it's a lot more than the sum of its parts.

the bringing bottles and cans in for cash used to be a thing in the US back in the 1970s and 80s when soda was made in glass bottles. you used to bring 6 packs of glass soda bottles to the store, and they had a place to slide them for a deposit. the soda companies washed and sanatize to be refilled. as far as national healthcare, i can see a state covering basic healthcare needs like check ups, here comes the but, any attempt of government healthcare system usually involves emence amounts of paperwork, and limited doctors in the network, because they only get re-imbersed .40 cents for every $1.00 charged.

As far as know the Maximum for Pfand using the machines is 15€. Everytime it stopped counting and threw out the receipt. My Maximum was around 32€ but with beerboxes and bottles etc.

I live in Minnesota. My husband and I are looking to relocate to Germany in the next decade or so and one of the appeals of Germany is that the weather is better than MN.

This one was so delightful ^^ loved it. Tips, I usually tip between 0 and 20% Bad service gets next to nothing good service gets 10% outstanding service gets up to 20%... I used to work as waiter during my "Uni" days so maybe I tip a bit more then others... dunno

Moved to the US in 2009 and to this day I do not like that the tax is added afterwards. I much prefer how it's done in Deutschland. Living in Colorado, I still find myself complaining about the weather :-). I very much miss bike lanes and the public transportation system as a whole in the US. I miss the recycling system as well, especially depositing the plastic bottles in the machines and receiving a Pfand voucher. My kids loved doing that when we went to Deutschland for vacation. I still open windows no matter how cold it is outside. Lueften is important. My American friends make fun of me for it sometimes.

In Massachusetts almost all grocery store have refundable bottle and can machines. My daughter's boyfriend constantly throws the returnables in the trash, and I consistently pick them out and yell at him! They are only 5 cents, so it's nothing to him but when I return them monthly I usually get around $5.00 (most are his too)!

Just returned last week from a vacation to Berlin. Really loved the currywurst but was disappointed in the schnitzel, which I had at 3 different restaurants. My experience is that here in the U.S., it's usually served with some sort of sauce, usually lemon. But in Berlin, it was just the meat and dry. Maybe they do that on purpose so you'll buy more beer. 😁

The health insurance can be quite expensive. But it should also be remembered that America is a leading innovator in developing health technology, and that's expensive.
