I like living in Germany. Here's why.

Since YT is flooded with "why I leave X" videos, I noticed that the countries don´t matter so much. It is more like a psychological thing that gets exposed into the internet a little bit too much to my liking. I think those people should do what they feel is best for them. I just can´t stand that those videos often try to convince the listener that the country he lives in is actually shitty.

Been living in Germany for 15 years and travelled all over the country. Great quality of life, beautiful landscapes, some wonderful kind people of course, but by god, in general what a miserable, unfriendly, humourless, insecure and bigoted place it is. There is something bloodless, cold, lifeless and insecure about the people. I live in Sachsen and the majority of people here are downright rude and insular. Germans like to think they are direct and honest...nah... they are mostly just plain rude.

Love these - keep them up. How about some on learning the language? Or how you managed to pick it up?

As someone from Berlin THANK you for putting the blame to the politicians and not the commen citizen. We hate them as much as the rest of Germany! But we little guys are living like any other except in a bit more chaotic city.

The UK has better sense of humour: For me as a young German back then, Monty Python was such a revelation.
And the UK has a speed limit ❤... 😂

If there wasn't my former English teacher, a former working colleague and a very nice older lady I had the pleasure meeting at the local swimming pool you'd be my favorite Brit to be living in Germany =) Glad you enjoy your stay. Oh and the reason German cities have a nicer look... the UK and US airforce did a really good job of flattening some German cities so they could be rebuild more people friendly afterwards.^^

Germans like to complain a lot, but to be fair it is also because we have high standarts for many things

Believe me you dont want to live in Germany unless your an Npc

I live in Hannover & I have been to Birmingham. I feel Hannover is way better than Birmingham.

To me everything gets worse. Politics, Infrastructure, what we do to our most vulnerable people (Bürgergeld), how the rich are prioritized, no action is taken against climate change, worshipping of the automobile, no money for education, health system is under attack etc etc - I am very concerned what the future of the younger ppl will look like (I'm gen X)

The RAF gave a free face-lifting to Germany, unfortunately, the Luftwaffe could not return the favour.

I'm a British citizen, with dual UK/DE nationality, living in Germany.
Under the new rules, I MUST use my UK passport to travel to the UK. Renewal costs around £130(including courier) If I try to enter on my German passport with a ETA (UK visa) I risk a fine of OVER £500!!!!
My German husband only needs to buy the UK visa (ETA) at about £16 which covers him for 3 years.
So thanks to Brexshit we Brits living abroad are AGAIN being treated like second class citizens!

Long live Germany and Germans. The land of Castles , Great thinkers, philosophers and inventors. Germany is master in the world in preservation and restoration of old monuments and buildings .

During the flood in the Ahr Valley, the alarm was triggered too late because a responsible district administrator was too cowardly to act.

There is one little Trainstation in Germany where you can pass to a steel gate and boom you stand in a old roman theatre colloseum from a 1000 years ago just like a time machine take a few steps and travel 1000s of years.

By coincidence, I saw both and I agree with this video (although I tend to disagree with anyone wearing a pony tail by principle). I am from Brasil, I have lived in Berlin, and love it with all my heart. Germany is one of the three best countries in the world - Brasil being the other two. And then Japan. And then Italia! And then Buenos Aires, which is a country in itself. Social media is filled with right-wing opinion givers, and the problem is that they hate the world almost as much as they hate themselves and immigrants. Fact is that Europe is filled with countries where most people get to live a very decent life, surrounded by amazing cheeses. Maybe you don´t get enough fun, and you certainly lack sex, but all that is fixable. Truth is, it´s never been better, unless you think war is better. Europe is in a very very good moment, and it has the resources to improve and fix what needs fixing. Would you rather try every other continent or region? How about Africa? How about Trumpkistan? How about Belarus? Mongolia? Venezuela?
Go work and fix what you have, because it is really great to begin with. And then, retire and come live here, where there is life. Best regards.

A very good video! Thank you!

TLDW: It's not as bad a Britain. Well, that's not much of a bar, is it?

When you said politics was a problem I thought you were going to say "Merkel". I meet a lot of Germans, of all ages, outside of Germany.. & every single one, without exception, mentions her.
AfD is a response to her. Competent leadership would have never have created that vacuum.

This guy does not seem to know that most German towns have been very much destroyed during World War II, mostly at the end of the war because Germans kept fighting after every reasonable person knew they had lost the war. So when you visit a "traditional" village or town, it was most likely rebuilt after the war to look like before. The same is true of many cities in Poland, France, the Netherlands, Italy etc. which the Germans managed to destroy under World War II. Even in the UK! In the German newsreels of 1940 and 1941, shown in every German cinema of the time, they played the song: "Die Parole ist bekannt: Bomben, Bomben, Bomben auf Engeland!" ("The order is well-known: Bombs, bombs, bombs on England!") showing how their aircrafts destroyed English cities, which were often hastily rebuilt after the war.

And the schone frauleins aren't too shabby...Dusseldorf especially!

I think the Ahrkatastrophe also kicked off the sort of Cellular Alarm System we also have in Austria, and here we HAD gotten Warnings like this, specifically when I was in Styria in February and there was suddenly SO WET AND SO MUCH SNOW that branches and trees FELL ONTO THE STREETS AND THE AUTOBAHN EVEN (you couldn't even cross the Wechsel without Schneeketten, and since the company car I had didn't have these I was, on order of my boss, ditching the car and travel back to Vienna BY TRAIN (because at least those were still running (at least on the major lines lol).

The right Party isnt a problem the lefties are...thd AfD will win and thats good, we are tired off the cartel parties they destroy our country since 30yrs...switch off atom power plants 😢 e.g

If you think German towns are pretty you have probably been living in the South. If you think they are ugly you have probably been living in the West. If you think they are weirdly old you have probably been living in the East. And if you don't know what big towns are, you have probably been living in the North. 😂

4:49 was ist in einem kapitalistischen Land Rechts? Die alte BRD ist der Nachfolger von 33- 45.

I cannot agree more!

Well... Many "Altstadt" in Germany have been completely rebuilt after the war in old style, so they are not really old. Like Hannover, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne... Berlin. Having said that, it's nice to hear you say all these nice things, a fresh view in all this German doom and gloom 😅

Germany is the most overrated country these days😅

Excellent video. I like Germany very much, lived there for 18 years, and I miss Germany.

I'm a dual national citizen-British and German.
I now, at the age of 63, spend my time split, half and half, between the UK and Hannover. This is a city that I spent a lot of my time in growing up as a child in the 1960s and 70s.

However, although I speak quite good German, having been educated in and worked all my professional life in the UK, I am more 'British' culturally than German.

There is indeed much that I prefer about Germany to the UK.

However, the one thing that I really, really struggle with each, every and all the time that I'm here in Hannover is...the general level of FUCKING RUDENESS of people here!

I sorry, people make excuses and try to call it "German directness". It isn't! It is just plain FUCKING RUDENESS!

It's the type of rudeness that if you tried it in Britain, to complete strangers, would see you in very big, potentially violent trouble very, very quickly.

One day here, I going to get out of my car and fucking punch someone! 🤣

I don't know whether it's a regional thing and maybe the more south you go the better and more polite people are?
Maybe it's a north German thing? Certainly, people don't smile much.

Certainly, I went to Lübeck once, and that was even worse than Hannover!

Mentions right wing populism but not the radical leftism that gives rise to it 🤔

It's easy to live in Germany—everything works well—but it's boring; that's why many dream of leaving. It's the price you pay in a country where everything runs on strict controls and planning. And don't expect humour unless it's arranged a couple of weeks in advance.

Manche sehen immer zuerst was sie nicht haben und das was sie haben, übersehen sie oft. Die wundern sich dann, warum sie unglücklich durchs Leben gehen 🤷‍♂️

Without our politicians that only care for rich and old people it could be a paradise
But ofc Boomers have to ruin it. Their life is shitty, so yours needs to be shitty aswell

As a Spaniard, I love Germany. It's not as strict as they say. Actually, it should be a little stricter.

And the people are just lovely. The beer (important for me) has no rival.

Synopsis: Germany isn't quite as bad as Britain.

Nobody likes to live in Germany!

Mein Mann ist Engländer und lebt seit 40 Jahren in Deutschland. Er will nicht zurück nach England.

about the railway network in germany... i ride the train up to maybe ten times a year, mostly on the rather big routes between cologne, hamburg, berlin, munich. in the last 5 years i experienced ONE major inconvenience caused by a missed train. and i still got to my destination, in another country with under 5 hours of delay. im so embarassed by my peoples inability to see our accomplishments as what they are.
