@@stellacarpenter4081 I know well. The best show in this regard put on the woman chancellor Merkel as her party and her social democratic henchmen won the last federal election: One of her party members stood behind her with even a smaller German flag than in Montana's video but as she noticed it, she took the flag out of his hand, made an expression like "It's not right, I don't want to see it here" and gave it further to another party member to get it away form the podium.

You would use the flags, if Germany won a big football game... soccer?.. Fußball you know what I mean. Like a World Cup game. After the national team won everyone would go outside (at least in bigger cities) and loud music plays, cars with those flags would drive around, people would draw the German flags on their faces and it's like a big party.

[@silkwesir1444]

Some people will put them on their cars during the whole World Cup or Euro Cup... or at least as long as the German team is still in the tournament. There are a lot of different opinions on whether and how one should display these flags. What doesn't help is that people like supporters of the AfD party use them prominently, so your display of support for the national team may be mistaken as a racist statement by some people.

[@harrydehnhardt5092]

@@silkwesir1444 No, I don't think so. "Fußball" tournaments like the European- or World Cup unifies most of the county and even women who are normally not very much into it become big "fans". Just like in every other country participating. And everyone with a brain should be able to distinguish between someone being a team supporter (patriot) or someone who displays the flag because he's a nationalist. Charle de Gaulle said once: Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.” That's the subtle but important difference.

[@terryfeynman]

Yup, and the big reason they where sold so cheap there is that the european championship was called off this year, so all the fan gear is now somewhere in a warehouse and nobody knows what to do with it. After all a lot has 2020 printed on it. They can´t just wait for a year to sell it, that is dead money.

[@janpracht6662]

In the last soccer-worldcup 2018 (there was nothing to celebrate for Germany, it was embarrassing for us!) we did not need the flags after the matches. But hopefully in 2021 when we have soccer European-Championship, we will need them and drive in convoys again...

A vacation is okay, but living there for some time and getting to know the country and its people in everyday situations is an exciting and rewarding adventure. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience, the good things and bad things you had, the embarrassing situations and the happy moments that you miss now.

Wenn du was über die Geschichte der DDR wissen möchtest, besonders die dunkle Seite, dann schau dir Checkpoint Charly in Berlin an. Das Museum hat eine tolle Ausstellung darüber, wie Leute versucht haben, aus der DDR zu fliehen. Und im Stasi Museum in Leipzig kannst du viel über die friedliche Revolution lernen. In der Nähe von Leipzig gibt es sogar einen alten Stasi Bunker, der einmal im Monat Führungen anbietet. Und dann natürlich die Altstadt von Dresden mit dem Zwinger, den Museen und der Frauenkirche. Nicht zu vergessen, die vielen tollen Schlösser und Burgen, die wir überall in Sachsen haben :-)

Daniel Behr yep that’s it. I don’t know anyone who didn’t gain weight on an exchange. Your body just isnt used to the new nutrition

[@mrclean2538]

Given the historical circumstances, patriotism or expression of pride for the country such a flying the flag publicly is rather uncommon and widely rejected by societal norms. In rural areas however it is more likely to find the flag being displayed f.e. on a pole in the back yard.

[@the_resa_]

I love your videos and experiences so much! Being from a German speaking country and having lived in the US I can totally relate to so many things u say! Although, I love that you obviously share from an american perspective and I experienced it from my European perspective :) ps about the weight gain, please know that you look great Montana!! I wouldn’t be able to tell that you’ve gained any weight. Because after my first year in the US I had probably gained like 15lbs if not more and THAT you could tell lol it’s just because you wanna try it all in such short time.

[@lisali510]

Nice video :) I think that lots of people who are living in another country for a while are gaining weight at first and are unhappy with it. It was the same with me when I spent one year in Australia and after I came back home I lost 10kg again within six months and was back to my previous weight without changing my habits. During my time in Australia I was worrying way to much about my weight and now I can definitely say that it was not worth it at all and I regret worrying about it as well ;)

You are so cute that you wanted to have conversation with the old man, he would have been happy to talk to you. But you're cute anyway.

[@jensgoerke3819]

The semi-soft boiled eggs are called "pflaumweich" because they're as soft as plums, with the yolk still runny.

[@nicktankard1244]

you can just cook an egg at home. It's super easy. Maybe you will never several tries to make it perfect for your liking but you just increase/decrease the cooking time. I never tried it in any restaurant or cafe but i grew up eating them. And my parents cook them all the time.

[@VroniSummerlin]

I’ve been living in the states for little over 10 months now. I visited my family in Germany back in January. I was there less than 3 weeks and gained a couple pounds 🙈 It’s because of all the yummy bread and pretzels 😍

I still enjoy going there and looking around, but I will ask myself a million times "do I really need this? Really really?“ and then in most cases the answer is "no, but..." and then I put the item away with a big sigh.

[@SophiaPalomino]

i swear we always went to tedi and after LC i stepped foot in there like twice

[@RNS_Aurelius]

The reason soft boiled eggs are less common in the US is because the standard of quality is much lower in the US. Food is more likely to carry pathogens so the food has to be cook more thoroughly. Obviously this isn't universal but definitely applies to mass produced supermarket eggs.

[@raffaelschafer312]

It may be important to know for people not living in Germany that Tedi is something like a One Dollar Store. Not every item is exactly one Euro but everything there is at least 50%, rather 75% cheaper what it would be in an normal store (Surprisingly, this does not necessarily means that the things are bad, I have got small kitchen knives from tedi for 2-3 € each and they are very sharp and absolutely fine). And they mainly sell stuff you dont actually need but somehow you think oh well it could be cool have to that (e.g. German Flags for your car, a funny looking demon statue for your garden, little plasctic things to stick to your bathroom wall so you can hang your towels without drilling a hole into the wall etc.). And the combination of stuff you dont actually need but you think is kind of cool to have combined with the very low price make shopping there addictive in a weird way.

[@MickeyKnox]

just boil an egg for 5 minutes and ... Voila ... soft-boiled egg. Eat it with salt and pepper and a buttered bun, but don't use a metal (silver) spoon (because of the sulfur in the egg ... chemical reaction) use a plastic one.

[@helloweener2007]

TEDi is OK. When you you that most stuff is cheap quality and it is not a purchase for long term. It is good for deco kitsch and small kitchen utensils. The printed vintage looking metall boxes are nice. When you need some in the kitchen for tea or other stuff they are great. And it is OK for little presents. LED yoyo for 1 EUR , my nieces liked them because they lightened in their favourite colours. Probably won't last long but who knows how long they find this interesting.

These little flags came up when we hosted the World Cup (...or was it European Cup?) in Soccer in germany. I honestly forgot what it was but I`ll never forget the joyful vibe throughout this summer in our country. It was a very nice time and atmosphere even if you aren`t that much into soccer. At that time pretty much every car was driving with these flags around and they returned somewhat every time germany won a important cup game or played matches in the final stages to the cup. Btw I am always unsure if I have a bad habit of using "the" to often, my english teacher always said "when in doubt leave it out" but it sounds right to me :D Oh and I almost forgot, the appropriate terminology for stores like "Tedi" is "Kruschtelladen" where you buy your "Krims Krams" ^^ I think we germans have a thing for these type of stores.
