7 German Things I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ANYMORE!!

[@WantedAdventure]

Good morning!✨🌸😁 What is something you discovered in another country and now can’t live without? EDIT UPDATE: I've seen several comments about my It's Spargelzeit t-shirt, thank you thank you 😊 🎉 It's an original Wanted Adventure design, and it's still available until end of June👚👕 You can see It's Spargelzeit & the other Wanted Adventure t-shirts here: teespring.com/stores/wantedadventure Okay, that's all, thank you☀️

Wanted Adventure i can't live without the frikandeln from the Netherlands

[@dakotaboy80]

When I was in Germany as an exchange student, I really loved the public transportation. It was reliable, on time, and relatively inexpensive. That was 20 years ago, and I still miss it.

[@angelinanickel8966]

[@krisbaeyens4221]

Palourdes : a kind of sea-shell that lives on the sea-side rocks in Britanny, France. When I was a kid, some 40 years ago, on vacation in Britanny we used to search for them during low tide and we found plenty. They are a delicacy coocked in garlic butter just like escargots. Nowadays sadly nowhere you can have Palourdes on the menu in restaurants as I experienced last year during my vacation. I have asked the locals and the answer was that they all died. Probably climate change. RIP Palourdes.

[@kevinli7346]

I love the way she's praising the German tissues. You should definitely do a TV commercial for them

[@elektra121]

At one point, I suspected she got paid by "Tempo"...

[@LiLaLesezeichen]

But she's absolutely right ;) Also lived abroad where they have this super thin tissues and they are not useful at all.

[@jayxfrost8987]

Haha, yeah :DD

She's so cute I blew threw two tissues too. Lol sorry I know that was inappropriate but I had to say it. Lol

[@nadineroth9158]

[@MrZevv]

I Agree :)

[@KelbenArunsun]

German Bread.... i think i couldnt live without our huge variety of breads...

[@shadowprince4482]

Honestly, that is something I've heard many times. Even Germans I've met in America said the same thing. I really need to try German bread someday.

[@mtgreengarden]

I asked a German foreign exchange student once "What do you miss most about Germany?" "The breads," she replied. She then asked me if we don't have any decent bread in America, and I replied "Sadly, no."

[@MegaAngelx3]

Actually the first thing my sister bought when she came back from her school exchange trip was German full grain bread...hahaha

[@heleneschelle1160]

I am now in Australia for 11 months and I reaaaally miss the German bread. Most Germans do.

[@micha_el_]

We once were on a camping trip in France. When we left, our german neighbors asked if they could buy our remaining german bread. They seemed to need it really badly...

[@teamsmash6454]

i was only one time in germany but i love germany and i love the Highways there, they called them "Autobahn" thats a dream for every driver!

[@kerstinxyf2420]

Mr. Germanman, wie süß :)

[@AlvinaRayne]

I am married to my very own Mr. Germanman lol He is simply amazing, I love Germany so much too, the cobblestone streets are purely magical, I never get over that, no matter how many times I've visited! Can't wait to move to hubby's home country in a few weeks! :-D

[@HippasosofMetapontum]

have fun ^_^

[@cdc962]

Thanks for teaching me the term "cobblestone street". We don't use a real term for such streets, but that coverage of cobblestones has a nice name. Try that one: Kopfsteinpflaster. :))) Make sure to have an idea how to untie the knot in your tongue before you start speaking out this word. :)

[@maetzchenmusik]

@@cdc962 Try "deutschsprachig"!

[@not_just_a_pretty_face]

The end made me cry. Living in Germany and married to a German myself, I second that. He is my favorite thing in Germany. 😍

[@FeLiciiaable]

Susanna Lösche Awww 💓

[@teribenn645]

Yep. I've my own Mister German Man as well, definitely my favorite thing in Germany

[@mokkamalia8290]

It made me cringe. This was so Fremdschämen.

[@earthpuppy1]

Aw when she says he's her favorite thing in Germany, that's so cute!! She's so sweet

[@daggiduke8588]

It`s Spargelzeit... Lool nice funny shirt

[@emergcon]

she has a store for it.

[@jessali_]

So many foreigners praise the public transportation system in Germany. But please do remember that you guys all live in the cities. Remote/rural areas of Germany may have no public transportation at all. Many also admire the bicycle-friendly environment. Also remember that this definitely doesn't apply in mountain areas, lol.

[@kidaria1333]

Even in smaller cities with 15000 people you have mostly a bus system which conects you to others parts of the regions Of course it's not a comparison to bigger cities but in other parts of the world something like this doesn't even exists. Most of the time the buses are in good state. In more rual parts of italy or spain is the bus often 20-60 min late and in a pretty bad condition. I hate hhow often geramns moan and moean and moan without thinking that they still have it better compared to rest of the world even compared to modern countries like the US, UK, spain,...etc.

[@jessali_]

Try living in the Swabian Alps. I swear to you, there are no buses at all. Maybe 2 a day. Maybe. Depends on where you live. I do agree though that they are in good condition.

[@Arltratlo]

bin von Norddeutschland.....ländlich hier....Busse überall...beschwere dich bei der CSU...SPD ist besser...lol i am from North Germany....rural here....busses everythere...complain to the CSU ( dominat political partie in Bayern ).....SPD is better ( main partie of my state goverment )...lol

[@AndySpacesoul]

Ich bin im Dorf aufgewachsen wo nur alle paar Stunden Mal ein Bus gekommen ist und der Bahnhof lag über 2 km außerhalb des Dorfes 😂 naja ist trotzdem besser als nichts xD

[@cupcake775]

Andy Lange ich leb im Dorf und es kommt nur der Schulbus und der nächste Bahnhof ist 13 km entfernt und dort fahren jede Stunde 2 Züge in die zwei verschiedenen Richtungen... wenn ich im Sommer ein Eis will oder ins Freibad dann muss ich über 10 km mit dem Rad fahren (das is zwar kostenlos aber nervt trotzdem) also es geht schlimmer 😂

[@jmute]

No reaction by Mr. Germanman, not even something like "aaww I love you too babe" - he truly is a real german :D

[@KriegerT]

why state the obvious, german efficiency right there :D

[@ulrichlehnhardt4293]

there was a little cut in the film which you will notice.. there probably was a reaction which they cut out ;-)

I only lived in Germany for a year but still miss the good bread, the bakeries, quark, Radler, and Leberkäse.

[@rainglow4481]

I couldn't live without Leberkäse

[@Aedony]

Quark! ... Oh man I didn't even know how to translate that! Almost forgot it exists and now i _REALLY_ want some quark with fruits T.T

[@samgerers]

[@dergotzvonberlichingen4880]

Das metrische System

[@germanvisitor2]

In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass das metrische System in Frankreich erfunden wurde und inzwischen in allen Ländern bis auf drei verwendet wird, ist es nicht wirklich deutsch.

[@gonndalfderdrolfte1058]

weil es das auch nur in Deutschland gibt ....

[@ameliegerloff5570]

Marie Mustermann was ist das??

[@gonndalfderdrolfte1058]

Ich hoffe das war Ironie

[@dergotzvonberlichingen4880]

[@ArlosPA]

I'm a german and I just can't imagine moving away and not have a nice Schnitzel anymore.

[@johntriton4798]

The pretzels for breakfest is I think typical southern Germany. At least we don't eat it in the north, where I am living

[@connyvo4705]

John Triton ich lebe in Hamburg, hier kann man auch Brezeln im Supermarkt kaufen und zu Hause auf backen

[@KitsuneKaitoSai]

ja brezeln gibts überall aber standartmäßig brezel als frühstück zu sehen ist stärker im süden vertreten

[@johntriton4798]

Conny Voß ja hier kann man sich auch welche zum aufbacken kaufen aber ich kenne niemanden der Brezeln zum Frühstück isst

[@connyvo4705]

I love public transportation so much that I don't even know how to drive lol. Umsteigen is forever :D

[@spitymaeh]

Haha that asparagus season t-shirt really nailed it :D You are soooo germanized Dana (in a positive way) :)

[@berwinenzemann3468]

Ah, now I get it. And I was wondering why she is wearing a t-shirt with a dildo on it...

[@XDrake3107]

how can u be germanized in a negative way. TI think that germany is way more social. I discovered that when I visited Rendsburg a little town north in germany

[@Tammym44]

I went to Germany last month and it was the best experience of my life! I love everything! Particularly, I loved the downtown areas, cobblestone streets, how active and outdoorsy everyone is and how well everyone drives on the autobahn (slower traffic to the right). I only wish I could live there! I was also very surprised how helpful everyone was! I only knew a few German phrases, but anytime we had trouble (like when our laundry was locked in the washer with an "error high voltage " warning) a friendly German was always there and voluntarily helped us! I think life would just be better in Germany.

[@dr.pingel2447]

In America without English you are lost. In Germany, even if your partner does not speak English, there will always be a person who does!

[@chirhi9694]

Awwww that was the cutest thing ❤️ another great thing in Germany is Wanted Adventure. Thanks for being part of this country 😍

[@ErusaGakuto]

The Glühwein thing we also had with a friend from Canada. He really liked it. :)

[@MJ-sy6pg]

Brezeln gibt es in Deutschland überall - egal ob gefroren, frisch gebacken oder vom Bäcker 👨‍🍳

[@maraboo72]

"frisch gebacken oder vom Bäcker" ist eine interessante Alternative.

[@arian2048]

Melinda Junghans Brezeln zum Frühstück sind aber nur in Bayern üblich

[@MJ-sy6pg]

Arian spinnt! Also ich komme aus Hessen und bei uns ist das auch üblich...

[@arian2048]

Melinda Junghans Ich komme auch aus Hessen (Nordhessen) und kenne niemanden,der Brezeln zum Frühstück isst

[@MaxAmSax]

Ich finds immer super wie der Wohnort die Perspektive beeinflusst :D Für mich ist alles südlich von Köln Süddeutschland (wo wahrscheinlich alle Brezeln zum Frühstück essen... :P Und die ganzen Dialekte erst... ;) ) Im Norden sind Brezeln auf jeden Fall deutlich weniger verbreitet, weder gefroren oder vom Bäcker.

[@dieFrickelbude]

okay, so now MrGermanman's Nickname will be Vanillakarpfen. The most loved 2 things ☺💕

[@nerdbot4446]

Bakeries. Definately bakeries.

[@Sketchblopp]

Agreed. Toast is nice but that's all it is. :)

[@XShipper]

Error 418 I dunno how Americans can live without bakeries. I need my bakery, where I can buy Schrippen, Baguettes, a delicious brown bread, or even belegte Bio-Stullen, together with a fresh Cappuccino. I want bakeries in NY, I always have to go to Starbucks to buy a sandwich and cappuccino when I'm there - that's not same!!!

[@ottovonostrovo1486]

germanfoods.org/german-food-facts/german-bread-and-cereals-guide/ you would be able to enjoy more than 300 bread varieties and over 1,200 different bread rolls and baked goods in Germany and that is what I miss about Germany and the wurst and the beer and the cheese!!

[@MrDagren]

XShipper, are you saying there aren't bakeries in America? :o What a nightmare :o

[@XShipper]

Jeroen Google about 10 years ago I once saw a GERMAN bakery at Grand Central Station in NY, but dunno if it still exists - haven't seen any since then... and I'm in NY every year for the last couple of years, or LA. Next time I'll be in Vancouver, Canada, I'm looking forward to find a bakery there.

English scones. Very hard to get in Germany which I don't quite understand, because I think they would take off BIG. So lovely.

[@Nabend1402]

A proper cream tea is so fucking lovely!

[@Ninchennase]

Oh hell YES. Impossible to get scones here, a real pity :(

[@lorraineliggera4229]

Scones are very easy to make at home, if you have even basic baking skills.

[@Ninchennase]

You don't just need skills, you also need time ... ;)

[@lorraineliggera4229]

Um, yeah. About an hour.

[@SocietateaAscendenta]

I must admit: I love that Germany and countries around (North-West, West) have so many Cafés and bakeries everywhere. Most of all, I would miss the many bread types Germans have. Love this country, just for that. Forget the complaining people, arrogance, not-so-gentle manners, sugar in everything, cold weather etc., because you guys always make my day with a good bread! And big cup cappuccino! Subscribed! Love the way you appreciated Mr. Germanman! Haha. You guys are sweet. Greetings from Romania. Okay, Düsseldorf.

[@TheDammDamm]

Oh the last one was so cute 😊 So i can't live without American lemonade anymore! I just love it. I think when i am in the US I only drink lemonade and sometimes water 😂😂 I miss it so much here in Germany. What i really miss when i am on holidays is german "aufschnitt" like leberwurst, fleischwurst or teewurst. 😂

[@keineFackel]

[@ShyBuba]

I can't live without snow! ❄️ don't know how I have spent 27 years of my life without this magical white cuteness!

[@ananyabailey1057]

It's true that these Bretzels are much more commonplace in the south of Germany, as we have so many other kinds of bread for breakfast, too. But there is one strange thing about Bretzels that I can tell you from the north of the country: whenever you visit a concert in a stadium, it will be only a matter of time when there start to appear people carrying huge baskets and having a yellow sign high above their heads... guess what they have to sell! XD

[@yvetteteshmar7193]

Well I think you love these things so much because you connect them with your lovely husband :) so you started to love all the things that reminds you of happy times

[@DansonforJoy]

This was so fun to watch! We're spoiled in the cafe department in WA state, and it would be quite an adjustment to move somewhere that didn't have such a wealth of them. And I got all teary-eyed when you mentioned Mr. German Man being your favorite. :) So sweet!

[@gottalsomaria2712]

Omg mr german man This One was sooooo cute.

[@helfgott1]

I do love the way you tell Stefan that you love him,its a true german statement

[@white_lmzp]

Hygiene, auf jeden Fall unser Niveau was Sauberkeit angeht in Deutschland. Ich bin ziemlich pingelig 😂

[@Mike8827]

Komm mal nach Japan ! Oh, und schau auf dem Weg dorthin lieber nicht in Indien oder China vorbei :D

[@white_lmzp]

Mike8827 besser is 😂 Thailand hat nicht mal richtige Klos 😅 ich könnte da nicht wohnen

[@knabbagluon]

Natürlich haben sie in Thailand richtige Toiletten. Abgesehen davon, sind diese "Plumsklos" theoretisch auch noch viel hygenischer muss man doch wenn man richtig zielt nichts berühren und kann den Po mit Wasser reinigen (ich gebe aber zu, dass ich damit auch nicht 100% klar komme).

[@white_lmzp]

Chris Thirst für mich sind das keine richtigen Klos und das ist meine Meinung. Da kannst du sagen was du willst, ich finde die trotzdem nicht toll

[@knabbagluon]

Ja, aber es gibt dort nicht nur diese Klos, in den etwas größeren Städten habe ich immer westliche Toiletten gehabt. Ok, in einer Herberge in Bangkok hatte ich auch so eine, ich bin aber auch kein Fan.

[@ShalenaKolsen2]

My grandpa passed away a year ago. He was born and raised in Germany then in his 20s moved to the US. I thought it was so funny you mentioned the tissues, because his sister would always send packs of them to him and I never understood. Haha.

[@tinealily]

Okay, you know that delicious Roggenmischbrot that's like 60cents in the grocery store in Germany? The dense long-lived stuff that's INCREDIBLE with peanut butter, or nutella, or as a tomato and mozzarella sandwich? That bread, that's what I miss about living in Germany. Luckily I have found a shop here in Edinburgh that has it, but it's a good 25 minute cycle away from where I live.

[@XShipper]

Lily Mmhhhh, yummy, I'm drooling, now I'm hungry... at 2 a.m.! Brot ist doch was Feines. Was wären wir ohne unser Brot! 💕

[@Aedony]

Was looking for that bread too here in Ireland. Some polish stores have them :)

[@JayOhhhKay]

Brot für 60 cent.. Das ist Müll und kein Brot.

[@vinceoffer9800]

Im from Germany and this things are totaly normal for me so your reactions about this things are very funny for me 😂

[@stephanieconner319]

I can't live without Tchibo and C&A.

[@ThePerfectRed]

100 dislikes? That must be your other fanciers who were outrivaled by Mr. Germanman.

[@ThatOneDude822]

In my experience, if we need to have a small meeting in the US, we generally meet at a Starbucks or a local coffeehouse (but usually Starbucks). It's quiet enough, has wifi, and people aren't too distracted by the food because it's usually some sort of pastry or bagel with coffee or tea. Plus they usually have outside seating which (for me) is more comfortable because I don't feel like we're distracting people as much as if we were inside.

[@ThisFeelsUnnessasary]

You can buy frozen "real" or non-snack pretzels in northern Germany as well. :) but as far as I know, my friends and family tend to eat regular buns for breakfast. Pretzels are more of a party snack.:)

[@Sketchblopp]

same here.

[@sohni211]

When I was living in the US, I was missing these things most: 1. Bakeries. No comment there... 2. Windows that can tilt and close tightly. With tiltable windows you can leave them open (2nd floor at least) when you leave the house and enjoy a fresh aired home. Also when those windows are closed, they are actually pretty sound and airtight. 3. good washing machines that you have to fill from the front. My white socks never got clean in the US; one visit home and they were as good as new.

[@wintertrine]

I am German in South Africa and got hooked up on biltong :D i miss Quark.

[@butterflybeth89]

Oh so many things!! Hot water kettles, pre-hard boiled eggs, good cappuccino, eiskaffee, pfands, Ryan air, trains (and public transport in general), farmers markets... I could go on! Thanks for your videos! I've been living in Ansbach for 2 years now, and you're helping me "blend in" a little bit more!

Oh god the tissues... When I moved to Germany it felt like the tissues were made of cardboard because they were so much ticker than the Canadian ones. Fast forward a year and a half when I went to Canada to visit my family and I realized the tissues in Canada suck!! Same for toilet paper...

[@DavidLindes]

Yeah, German TP is so superior to any of the American brands I've yet discovered... didn't know how bad it was until I knew it could be so much better.

[@jupiterenchantixpower]

Hey I'm from Germany and so I love your video😉

[@antje246]

My boyfriend is from London and lives over two years in Hamburg now. I'm german so we have this bicultural relationship just like you :-) Since he lives here he fell in love with a load of things. Seeing football in stadium is one thing. He watches HSV premiere leagues matches and things it's cheap, relaxed and relatively rule-free. You can smoke, drink, jump, be loud... this isn't working within English football where the prices are non payable. Some goes for the cheap transport system in Germany. The Ämter are strict but working quite quick and efficient he thinks. Also he adores every kind of Schnitzel and of course loves all sorts of haribo. The list goes on but fairly there's a few things he absolutely dislikes. I think this is totally normal and would happen in every new country you live in :-) Love from Hamburg

[@antje246]

*thinks ;-)

[@antje246]

*sAme goes

[@kidaria1333]

Lovely to hear that but I think the culture clash between britain and northern germany isn't that extrem like northern european countries to the northern ones for example. And if your boyfriend is homesick he can make an easy and fast return flight to london from hamburg ^^ Wish you two the best :)

[@floyeet9155]

[@AndreasAndreasAndreas]

That is one of your best videos, really straightforward and still all nice :)

[@bjoern0975]

Hi Dana! I spent a semester at a university in California in 1999 - and that was when and where I first got to know those "Friends" style coffeeshops - not only Starbucks, but smaller chains and independent stores, too. It was only after that that a wave of similar shops and small, modern cafés came to Germany. So, I guess that modern big-city café culture was actually imported from the U.S.. Until then, in Germany, there were only old-fashioned cafés where mostly older people would have coffee and cake (Konditoreien). When I was a student in high school younger people would either go to ice cream parlors or (in the evenings) to something like pubs (Kneipe). But those places where one would hang out to study, read, write, or have little meetings only came up in the wake of the coffeeshop trend.

[@gamedes3665]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viennese_coffee_house

[@bjoern0975]

What I meant are those small, tiny, "trendy" cafés, which Dana said can be found at every corner in some bigger and even smaller cities throughout Germany nowadays. Those are relatively new. Only in the biggest cities in Germany there are big institutions with a long tradition somewhat similar to a Viennese coffee house. But all the places that I can remember from my youth which came close to those were the "Konditoreien" that were frequented mostly by elderly ladies with funny hats for their daily dose of coffee and cream. Something else that has been around longer than those small independent cafés or coffee shops, though, are what is called "Kneipenrestaurants" - they are relatively big, feature furniture similar to beer halls, and serve everything from breakfast over lunch, coffee and cake to dinner and cocktails. So they are open from early morning till late at night. In some cities some of those may have a status similar to the Viennese coffee houses.

[@davidh.4649]

Dana, I'm with you on the pretzels. But I preferred to walk down to the bakery at around 6:45 in the morning and get them fresh from the bakery oven. Those were absolutely amazing. Glühwein we can get here in the U.S. now around Christmastime either in shops that specialize in European items or even sometimes in larger liquor stores. It's typically made in Germany and imported. That and the German cookies are what say Christmas now.

[@robertwolfe7544]

As far as a location for meetings, Starbucks is the go to as they are basically everywhere in metro areas. American style lemonade and In N Out are always greatly missed when traveling outside the US/California

[@annypenny8621]

the way you say i love you to your husbund is so sweet...💞

Hallo Dana! Thank you so much for making these videos, I always look forward to them when I see a new one pop up. I agree on the Pretzels, but several things I can't live without anymore are German Würst (Nobody else gets them right. Nobody.) and Brötchen. Your Pretzel breakfast tradition is our Brötchen breakfast tradition :) And as I commented to someone else below, I have my own Mister German Man and he too is my favorite thing

[@horrorelefant7834]

Mr German Man😂

[@valentinstefan6553]

I went for 3 weeks to Great Britain, and when I came back I only wanted to drink an Apfelschorle ( Apple juice with sparkling water ). This is one of my favorite things in germany

[@nordinesaada8624]

It is clear that your Mr. Germanman is shy Level 1000 , not even a small word from him when you started to thanks him

i got tears, cause it was so nice, i think he totally couldn't say a word anymore

[@taxiuniversum916]

Men in general - and probably German men in particular - often have a hard time saying something „sweet“. My guess is, it’s due to a gender-specific emotional incompetence. 😏

In Vienna (it’s the capital of Austria, which is an german speaking country), you don’t need to have a car. It’s only needed if you drive “far” away, because you can also drive by train everywhere. Insideof the city you get everywherequite fast and it’s just amazing. Another plus is that Vienna is a really safe city compared to many others. And the water is also officially the best of all capitols!

gibt es auch ein Video wo du mal mehr als ein Wort Deutsch sprichst? würde gerne mal deine Aussprache hören

[@florentineriese7469]

Sie hat mal ein komplett deutsches Video gemacht, ich weiß leider nicht mehr, wie das heißt. Aber wenn du nach "complete German video" oder so suchst, findest du es bestimmt ^^

[@florentineriese7469]

"Funny things I say in German (VIDEO AUF DEUTSCH!)" heißt es ^^

[@thetj8243]

I can't imagine moving (back) to northern Germany because of the nice fresh "Brezen" here in Munich. :D I really enjoyed your video.

I lived in turkey for 1 year and i really miss the shopping malls there. They are so great and have more possibilities to shopping... i love them

I hate it how often germans moan about the public tranportation system and don't want to realise that it still better than in most other countries. In the european union only schwitzerland and maybe france are better but these systems recieve way more public money. And countries like japan with million mega cities are not comparable.

[@HippasosofMetapontum]

Germans always moans, cause we know it can be better

[@03raq]

I am from a country where Public transportation sucks and I have been living in Germany for 5 years. I have lived in huge cities like Berlin, in remote city towns like Kleve and in middle cities like mönchengladbach, I have learn that the transporation varies depending where you live and believe me there has been MANY times I have moaned about it especially when traveling with Deutschebahn. Just because other countries have it worse doesn't excuse the transportation here in Germany to be mediocre for what the standards and expectations should be. It can always be better.

[@aleabeckermann2100]

You gotta understand that germans are used to it and just cuz its better than in other countries it still could be better so german will moan till it is perfect. That may sound annoying but the reason why things that were made in Germany got almost always the best quality ever is because most germans are perfectionists (including me) So I understand that people who live in a country where the public transportation isn’t as good get annoyed that we germans sometimes may complain about ours (which is not bad) but please keep in mind it may have a positive affect (or effect? Sry I dunno) in the future. Also... our public transportation isn’t as good as it seems. The trains come late pretty often so that I decided to buy and ride a bike do that I won’t risk getting late for school.

[@norah6954]

Are U from Germany?

[@tomasmuller5839]

Well, Germans want to be the best......

[@vitaminwc1390]

I'm from Germany and I've been to sweden in 2013 and they had this awesome bread over there..... But I forgot what it's called. I'm going to sweden again in September so I'll hopefully find this bread again and find out what it's called

[@Karina-bg1no]

[@AprikosenKlang]

What I discovered in Japan that I just love too much is everything with matcha, anko, mochi and kinako. It's kind of the japanese traditionall sweets

Meetings at Coffee Shops... of course I live in Seattle with a Starbucks on every corner.

[@lorinabauz2704]

rswear But you can't compare Starbucks with the Cafes in Germany

[@rswear]

not at all, but they are a place for little meetings

[@IntyMichael]

Starbucks compared to a European Café is like McDonalds compared to a real restaurant.

[@jenmu7870]

would you really do a meeting at starbucks?!

[@AndDiracisHisProphet]

I had once a job interview at starbucks. in germany.

[@breezyharris4239]

I'm going to Germany in September for a year, I can't wait! Love your videos!

[@rosaartemis]

how did stefan react?:)

[@dschonsie]

cinestar2 he fainted ;)

[@adventure_hannah3841]

As I've been to Canada (just for an 8-week "stay"cacation) I cannot live without rollerblades and real genuine poutine. Rollerblades because street hockey is THE BEST and blading places around town is a perfect balance between walking and biking. Poutine because the brown gravy, melting cheese, amazing cheese curds, and vinegar. IT'S SO GOOD.

[@elly8806]

I couldn't live without earl grey tea or sweet and salty popcorn mixed god bless England 😋

[@Hoelzchen]

Hi Dana, I have a question. Perhaps you can answer it in one of your videos. I noticed that in many US TV series and films the characters make such a big deal about saying "I love you". The partner to whom it is said is usually totally flabbergasted and stammers, "WHAT - DID - YOU - JUST - SAY?" Is this just a TV thing or do Amis actually behave in such a weird way?

[@ringracer6203]

The stuff that comes out of your nose has speed of about 170 km/h. So you need a strong tissue.

[@undercoverblk]

Just a photography comment. I am a professional photographer. Please continue this lighting! It creates REALLY NICE catchlights that make your eyes sparkle. Makes your videos that much more engaging!

[@GraefinO]

My problems when I go abroad: no german bread (even if it looks like our bread, it doesn't taste like it), no sparkling water (mainly in southern europe), the cashiers in supermarkets are everywhere much slower than in Germany, I hate if there's no price on things I want to buy, so that I have to negotiate (and always get the feeling, the other person pulls me over the barell), in lots of countries, they have just thin toilet papier (like your tissues from the U.S.) and I don't like the scratchy feeling on my but

[@03raq]

lol reading your comment is like hearing my boyfriend word by word complain when he travels abroad xD

[@iamdustin04]

It's quite funny to see, that you are enjoying this sooo much and I as a German just use it..without thinking about it

[@lina6121]

you are getting a bit of a german accent haha sweet

[@lilithepinky1161]

I'm german and I love the cinnamon bagels I had in England!! Last time I visited London, I bought 3 packs and frozen them at home.
