I'm a German wife of a Greek husband and we live in Greece. In Germany I was always considered unorganized, was never on time and very much into giving out compliments. Here in Greece I get told a lot how structured, organized and reliable I am. I love living in Greece, the bar is so low for a German 😂

I’m a 21 year old who moved out to Germany 2 years ago for studies & to get married to my high school sweetheart (foreign exchange student); we had been in a long distance relationship for 2 years. We’ve been married for almost a year now, but because I was in Germany on a student visa and changed my course of study, I’m now back in the states to get my “Visum zum Zwecke des Ehegattenachzugs.” Needless to say, I had a huge culture shock coming back to the states, & I miss my wife, German culture, and German food:( can’t wait to get back to Saxony!

I am born Chinese but grew up in Austria and I am more Austrian than I am Chinese, which annoys the hell out of my grandma. I am very blunt and I do call out BS when I see it. My granny likes to cause drama and she is a person that doesn´t like when people younger than her question her "authority". Ergo, she is very conservative. When I called her out on her BS, she will say that I am not Chinese enough and that is not what Chinese women do. Well, I told her that I am not living in China, so I don´t have to behave like a Chinese. I can respect the culture, but I am not going to change who I am just because she doesn´t like it. Also acting the way she wants, is the reason, why Chinese women and girls are being harassed in school and the workplace overseas. (Which I experienced personally.) Being obedient and quiet might get you somewhere in China, but not in Austria. And I live in Austria, not in China. However, the neat part is more my partner than me. He is Austrian, Viennese to be exact, and god he is organised and neat. That drives me crazy because he always cleans up my desk, every time I visit my mum in Graz and the end result is that I can´t find my stuff. I had a designated place for my Bluetooth keypad and he just store it away, when I was at home during the holidays. I couldn´t find my keypad for two months and finally found it, yesterday! I was livid!!! 😅

Last week it was 25 years since I moved to the US. And I still can not give American compliments. I just can't use the American excitement range. The German range from 1 to 10 is Crap(1) to Good (Or maybe Great)(10). I would go up to Great but that needs true greatness. That is where I put my compliments. The American range is from Fantastic (1) to Best in the universe times infinity(10) That makes no sense since there is always something better and if I use high superlatives often then I have to use higher ones when better. That is how "Super Awesome" was created. If you had just used "Awesome" sparingly then you would not need something higher than awesome. OMG... I am more German than I realized. 🤷🤦

It drives me nuts planning EVERYTHING (but also let's be real....it's also helped me with my own personal life and getting more done effeciently) what really gets me is what I fondly refer to as "constant bitching" 🤦‍♀️😂 i have to fish for every little complement and while i don't need the "puppies and rainbows" mentality of an American i am still an American and need a compliment every once in awhile. When my German in laws or my husband says "ja, man kann es essen" (essentially ja it's edible) to something i cooked than thats about the extent of a compliment that i will get 😂 the cultural differences are cute and noticeable now but wait until you have kids and the cultural differences of how to raise them comes into play!

As a Swabian I concur, although in Germany we're usually conservative and skeptics. Now if you're invited somewhere for dinner, you may compliment the food or whatever it may be if it truly was that good. At least you'll be polite and say thanks. Also when dealing with kids or mentally ill you'll find Germans to be more liberal with their praise.

Nalf, please start distinguishing between German culture at large, and Swabian culture in particular. Especially that last bit about paying compliments, or rather the lack thereof, that is absolutely a Swabian thing. When it comes to complimenting someone's cooking, famously the best you can hope for from a Swabian, is "It's edible.", which essentially means it's great. Same with the staring in your other video. At least in my experience, you will get a lot less stares in places like Cologne or Berlin.

5:56 "Our plastic got separated, Nicolas" ... I can relate so much to this. The "our" and "we" ... my wife uses these when she means "you", but in a polite forceful way which I can't disobey. The extra exclamation mark is the trailing first name at the end of the sentence. You know this when you have a wonderful girlfriend, Nicolas.

I saw you're reading Ken Follett's the Pillars of the Earth. Just wanted to let you know that there is also an outstanding video game adaptation of Pillars of the Earth, which was also made and published by a German company. It has both English and German voice acting and an art-style that I really like myself! If you're into visual, interactive novels and are interested in playing though the story, I would highly recommend it!

I think the "don't waste food" is most european grand parents to be fair! Especially in both the UK and Germany as Germany's main cities were basically flattened by the war and rationing in the UK would continue for another 9 years after the war. Its pretty wild to think that for people like my Grandma they wouldn't have been rationed their entire life (as far as they could remember at least) until they were 18.

You're a pretty lucky guy, sometimes it's worth the wait and you, Sir, got it right! Congrats. My uncle went to Vancouver in 1976 and when I was visiting in 1997, his son's (my cousin) favourite German word was "Brotzeit". He also said "I didn't complain, so it's good" 😀 German habbits are in our genes. 😀

Wow! 😯 I really enjoy watching your videos - and a few other "Americans in Germany" channels... But when I think of the term PDA, this always comes to mind spontaneously: What is a PDA? Epidural anesthesia, PDA for short, alternatively called epidural anesthesia or epidural blockade, is a common method of pain therapy in obstetrics. Epidural anesthesia is administered by injecting anesthetic into the lower back (spinal cord). 😉

I can relate. As a German I wouldn't follow a partner to the states, too. it isn't a matter of years at all. In most cases I believe, you can't expect a German to move to USA and I understand that. Life in Germany _can_ be so much better. If Life _will_ be better, is up to you and your partner of course.
