i love your appreciation of both the small and the big things you experience. as a german myself i forget a lot of it and the negative aspects become more dominant. i lived in cologne for a long time and seeing you seeing the Dom for the first time i remember how it was like seeing it as a kid 🙏🏻☺️

[@kitthey]

also: when i was a teen you could buy a „Schülerdöner“ for 2,50 € and you‘re absolutely right- i tried Döner in other countries but the ones in germany are the real deal!!! nothing compares.

[@Mamaki1987]

Love your enthusiasm. :-D I hope you enjoy your trip and find even more great things to do

[@starryk79]

Looks like James was literally 5 Minutes from my home here at the start of the video while he eats the döner It's in a quarter of the city called Porz Urbach 🙂

[@buba7795]

Watching this made me so happy for you. I could feel the happiness flowing over me while I watched you eat a döner kebab

[@rubyredfort6303]

So awesome! Einfach gut, dass du es endlich geschafft hast 😊

[@antonialemme8235]

Ich freu mich so für dich, ich verfolg dich schon eine Weile und bin das ganze Video über, nur am weinen 😭😭😭 Ich hoffe du hast die Zeit hier in Deutschland genossen und kommst bald wieder 🙏🏼🥰

[@Michi-bc2zl]

Verfolge dich schon eine gute Weile und es freut mich echt zu sehen das du endlich deinen Traum war machen konntest nach Deutschland zu kommen

10:30 Your camera is recording 60 frames per second (or a multiple 30, 120 Hz). The lights are flickering in the footage because our european power grid is not operated with 60 Hz (US-standard), but with 50 Hz. Flourescent light tubes and bulbs operate with this speed to. Our human eye cannot see, that the lights turn on and of 50 times a second. But your camera does. To avoid flickering in your recordings, you have to set your camera to a multiple of 50 frames per second (25, 50, 100).

Im so happy right now, the day has finally come!

[@jonasluhr]

We've once made a trip with our class to cologne and our teachers didn't want to go all the way up the kölner dom, but allowed all of the students to go up if they wanted to... just a second after they said that, all of the stoners in class were literally running up the stairs as fast as possible, to enjoy the view while smoking some joints at the top. It was great, i'll never forget it

[@ursuladavis2439]

You finally made it to Germany James - I hope you took a bite for me because i miss it so much. Remember i am german that moved to Mississippi in 2006. Man i wished i could be there in my country to visit . Have fun!😊❤

[@MS-os9db]

Watching this video was so much fun, I'm so excited for the next one! :) So happy to see you finally getting to experience this!

[@randomlauch74]

Me as a german cant imagine how happy you are eating a döner. Thats a normal day for me it was so funny. Keep up with this good content!

[@ExZeIion]

i never really thought about it and was really amazed by modern cities and stuff when i was younger but when a friend visited my hometown and the city has those old buildings from 1800 but there are stores inside, my friend was blown away and said it looks like a town straight out of a medieval movie but crossover modern day society. as an adult now i can see that and appreciate it

[@Phony1000]

I could watch this forever. So entertaining! Can't wait to see more.

[@Atasch]

Thank you for reminding me how beautiful it is to make it to the top of those stairs of the cathedral. I made the trip 4 times in my youth and it is beyond my health now, but it was just an inspiring reminder to enjoy the things we have right in front of us, friends, trains (tho late as can be) and ofc Döners. I can understand why many Germans fallow you, your low-key down to earth but genuine reactions are a delight, and makes me excited as well and giddy seeing you try new things. Never loose your drive to go on adventures!

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Glad you finally made it to Germany. Looking forward to your next videos about your stay.

[@RezzaBDO]

glad you liked your first döner! now you are part of germany brother! much love ❤❤

[@alinaEhlfenhaal]

James! U look soo happy in all these videos! Love it.

[@schelles2007]

Welcome to Germany James. To see you exploring and enjoying Germany makes me smile so hard like I didn't smile for long. I wish you a very very great time here. And even if I'm not often in your streams, I will always watch your videos. And you will always be a part of Germany even if you are only a short time here because of your legendary content ❤

[@g.s.9667]

I watched you practicing German a few years ago and it’s so cool to see you in Germany now! So glad you made it!

[@G31M1]

Same for me

[@DFWTMOD]

As a German it’s amazing to see how much you enjoy being here. It’s adorable how much you enjoyed your first Döner. I was surprised that you didn’t knew about Mezzo Mix. I thought you have it in the US too. It’s a mix of Coke and Fanta. I can’t wait to see your other videos tho

[@BauingPro]

Es ist echt krass schön zu sehen, dass du unser Land so feierst.

[@kajza2354]

Unser Land ansich schön gibt nur andere Gründe die hässlich sind

[@RheinhausenimAuge83]

Wie kann man dieses drecksland so feiern,bin selber hier geboren und damals war es ein wunderschönes Land,seit 2015 ist es nur noch ekelhaft

[@altertobi2573]

Its so funnyy to see as an German how an Amerocan visits Germany for the first time indeed! and how much joy a simple döner can bring. makes me appreciate this country and döner alot more.

[@gloofisearch]

Nice, you finally made it. I am happy for you. Enjoy.

[@HoschiKuddel]

I'm so impressed that you were able to talk after getting up to the top of the Kölner Dom. I did this once and was checking eBay for a new pair of legs and lungs.😅

[@aka99]

Try Ulmer Münster then, it is about 200 stairs more 😁

[@blairsminsung]

This video is so wholesome to me. Seeing you being in germany, your dream, is such a blessing and wonderful thing to witness. For me it´s the other way around - I wanna see america (more specially canada). So seeing you fulfilling your dream with germany makes me confident I can do it with canada (and also japan haha). This video made my day. Come back soon, when you can! :)

[@Steven91637]

Welcome 🙏 to Germany 🇩🇪 Hope you enjoy the stay 🎉

[@linearliquidize]

as a cologne citizen I can only assure you, the awe you get when you're seeing the Dom never ceases :)

[@Carimm60]

I just still dont understand why we dont have döner here in the states... They had it all over Europe, and in Japan but all we get is gyros to try to explain what a döner is to our friends or family. So happy he got to experience Germany for the first time.

[@ludifoe5039]

I think there is a kebab store brought to New York by a German

[@chadratboi2849]

@@ludifoe5039 He actually has a few locations by now. But i dont know where. That all people seem to enjoy Döner really puts a smile on my face

[@tomatojuice369]

Deutschland ist nicht nur Döner, das sollte nicht vergessen werden, in jedem Bundesland gibt es unterschiedliche, typische Gerichte.

[@sunflowermyeyes9758]

this brings me so much joy 😍😍😍 willkommen!!!!

[@PANERAI_BOB]

Finally you made it towards Germany. Enjoy your time here in Germany and have great time over here.

[@Toffi1510]
