Van Life Berlin: Experiencing the Roaring 1920s in 2024

[@JoaoPedroCanhenha]

Lovely storytelling and appreciate the referral of Christopher Isherwood and the plaque on the building. That's what's so amazing about the cities in Europe. There's a massive footprint of people and memories, that sometimes can feel like a cascading effect of an overflow of information regarding all that has come before ourselves. However the delight of being surrounded by history is knowing that lovely blanket should hopefully inspire our conduct for the better and not define our status and conduct. Hopefully we can continue to learn from all that has happened, and your videos are a good contribution for it.

It’s true, Europe is like a historical buffet-so much to savor! And I hope my videos serve as a tasty appetizer to all the fascinating stories waiting to be devoured! (now, I am hungry - again !)

[@guilleo88]

Interesting stuff. You really know your city. Makes me wanna go back ❤

[@jackvandean]

You should ! Berlin always is worth a visit !! Thanks for watching. Part 2 coming up

[@NomadicPride]

Jack, you've got a great voice! It's rich and iconic. Right up there with some of the greats...like Sir David Attenborough. Really enjoy your videos!

[@jackvandean]

Wow. That's quite the compliment. I gladly take it ;-)

[@MichaelElmer229]

Great to see the not so traveled yet still interesting and beautiful place's in Berlin .👍I like the way you present it all .

[@jackvandean]

Thanks for watching. Berlin really does have a lot to offer! i could go on and on, to be honest ...

[@masfachryhamim2994]

Very Nice ... 😘😘😘👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@jackvandean]

Many many thanks

[@jimbo1968uk4]

Thank you for that; so jealous of your travels. Keep doing these videos on lesser known areas, they are fascinating

[@jackvandean]

Ah! Great to hear. I also like to explore the things that are NOT in the tourist guides... Glad you liked

[@EdwardDonnan]

Off the beaten track, brilliant, from JFK to Marlene Dietrich,so go see what the boys in the back room will have.

[@jackvandean]

oh therm damn Boy in the backroom. That would be a video in its own right - but I will touch on it in part 2

[@TimAnnear_1961]

Wonderful video and an excellent presentation of Berlin's roaring history. Look forward to part 2 unless there's a part 3 or beyond and then I'll need you to stamp my passport having visited Berlin vicariously. Love the song Lily Marlene! The old show gals new how to put on a great show and they were so risque for their time too. As an aviation nut I hope you visit the museum and See Concorde, the Tu-144 and all the other aircraft sitting on pedestals. Travel safe and happy walking or motoring.

[@jackvandean]

To be quite honest, I could for for 10 parts. But I was only in town for a week. So after part two it will stop for this time - but I will be back because as they say in German "Ich habe noch einen Koffer in Berlin"

OH MY, from Dallas, Texas

[@jackvandean]

You see - I get the Wizard of Oz reference !!

[@wilfer9008]

You mentioned in the End about the final of EM...attending the finals match?😱😱❤️

[@jackvandean]

Too expensive. Though The Olympia Stadium it was held at - has a unique history as well ! Worth checking into ! Trust me

[@swirlgalaxy]

Howdy Jack!! You should do strip shows more often!! 😜🤪🤩 Family lore states that my maternal grandfather went to school with Marlene Dietrich. Big bear hugs from Kenny in Ohio USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jackvandean]

Well, I'll be damned. Family connections to La Dietrich. that's only 2 degrees of separation then !!

[@wilfer9008]

As a millenial here, I learnt a lot with this video, cuz none of the references are unknown to me...i can picture the crickets sounds🙈🙈🙈

[@jackvandean]

Oh: I hope I did not sound condescending. Hope you found it interesting !

[@wilfer9008]

@@jackvandean noooo condescending. I paid attention to this video and got some interesting 20's pop knowledge! ❤️❤️

[@renatoscutube]

Nice story telling Jack. I’ve heard there were some quite free-spirited people in Berlin at that time. I just think you expected too much from a Millennial… Hey, congrats on the legs, they are beautiful (the rest too).

[@jackvandean]

Yes... some things I take for granted, people from a different generation just have no clue ... whereas the other way around - I am aware of Taylor Swift etc ...
