Today I’m going to show part of my mom’s house here in Krefeld I also will show you how my room looked 40 years ago when I was a big Bruce Lee fan and also USA fan. I had American flags on the wall license plates and many more things I think it’s interesting to see where my passion for America comes from.

GIV, you are such a wonderful dude! Thank you for loving America! I had tears welling up in my eyes as you spoke about America while showing photos of all the places you have been to here! I love America with my heart and soul. My Daddy was in the USAF (STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND) and made the USAF his career. He would tell me about all the wonderful countries he had been to before I was born and how wonderful the people of those countries treated him. He had a great love of Germany and he and my Momma wanted to go back and visit. Unfortunately Momma developed Alzheimers and Daddy was stricken with Cancer. At least my Daddy had all of his memories and shared them with me. I am proud to be an American. Yes, America has her faults but when I hear you express your love for her, it touches me to the core! Thank you so much! All of us who follow you, love you, your friends and your BEAUTIFUL Momma! I enjoyed seeing everything in your room and loved your Momma's patio and garden! I hope she is feeling better. I am glad you are there with her. Please tell her I am sending vibes and prayers but also, please thank her for bringing you into the world and for the great job she has done in raising you! Keep sending these great videos!!! Take care and positive vibes are headed YOUR way!!🙏🙏👍👍✌✌❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hi Mike, no need to apologize; it's great to see German culture and American culture through the eyes of a German, and I have to say I envy your ability to speak different languages. Also, you and I have some interests in common. I too was a big fan of Mark Spitz and Bruce Lee and I learned Kenpo in Hawaii. However, I have never been a fan of Michael Jackson or his music, but it's fun watching your videos about MJ and your enthusiasm. Plus, I had to laugh again when you did your Arnold impression. That never gets old.

I am born and raised in the USA. I used to be proud to say I was from the US of A but honestly, I don't feel this way anymore. There's a reason people don't appreciate what we have. We have the elite and the government. Middle class is quickly becoming apart of the lower class. In a country so rich why is it that we even have a lower class?. Why don't employers feel it's necessary to pay a good wage? Let me stop before I really go off the rail.

Very interesting tour, and yes to the rest of the story. Much different from growing up an American kid. My dad served in WWII, was a POW in Germany for most of that time & was very strict about respect for the flag. Of course it’s changed here in the US, but we never would have used it for decor of our space or our body. We had a flag holder & displayed it for national celebrations, had rules for handling and storing it. I think that started changing during the hippie years, when everything f Dad’s era was changing. Not calling you out, I think it’s amazing & beautiful that you could create your space with what you loved! I also was a Bruce Lee fan, took years of martial arts - ended up a Jackie Chan fan, lol.
