We LOVE GERMANY but it felt weird too!// Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a great start into the New Year and wish you the very best!
In today's video we're sharing some gorgeous places we visited in Germany and along the way, we experienced some reverse culture shocks that having living in Britain for 7 years now just kicked in. We love both countries and although they aren't that far apart, there are some massive culture difference. Hope you enjoy! Kirsten & Jörg xx

  • I like the idea of stores closed on Sundays. It was like this when I was a child growing up in Virginia. The days were spent with family, resting and relaxing in preparation for the week ahead. Perhaps this would be beneficial in today’s nonstop world. Great video, as always!

  • Thanks for taking us along with you. I just love history and all the old architecture. I loved the turtle sculpture on the fountain and that quirky carving on the building corner of the man making a silly face by sticking his tongue out. I am truly grateful for you two, because I get to see places I might never see. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.❤🙏🇺🇲

  • Our country, USA, is so new compared to Europe. The buildings are what we here, call 'storybook' buildings with all the strips of wood decorating the outside and such. We do not see those style buildings in America anywhere except in books. Thanks for taking us on walking tours of Germany and also in the UK,

  • THANK YOU! ...THANK YOU!!! ...THANK YOU!!! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...Watching your grand touring video around this German town at times made me cry remembering my Father, my Grandmother, my Great Grandfather. ...Germany is their homeland. I especially recall my father & his brother always talking about the beautiful country, mountains, & towns which created their home. Of course, my Father, Grandmother, & Great Grandfather spoke German. My Father told me about the wonderful buildings & homes saying no others compared. The people & families were very close & worked to help each other...everyone was wise & smart. During the early 1800s German immigrants came to the USA, worked hard, struggling for success with land purchases where the land was difficult to manage but priced at good low cost. My family members at that time harvested trees from the steep mountains & created timber beam businesses for coal mines, & those timber & sawmill companies grew well. My early German family members on my Father's side...plus the early Scotch-Irish family members on my Mother's side came to the USA with nothing & did well. Their lives speak of the strengths & gifted minds of both Germans & Scotch-Irish. ...Around 1957 my Father rejoined his comrades (very close friends) to visit towns & find family & friends after the war. The world was changing, but the homeland spirit remained strong & still exists as a rich spirit of people today. ...Kirsten & Joerg, may all the days of this new year be filled with happiness & satisfaction & happy journeys to explore & share. ...This Video Is Wonderful!!!

  • My uncle and his family lived in Munich and Frankfurt for many years. In the early 1950’s they sent my brother and I lederhosens ( don’t know if I am pronouncing or spelling them properly. Mine was a heavy suede jumper skirt and my brother’s were shorts. They also sent us hats with a plume of feathers from the hatband. I think I am remembering this correctly, I was only about 5 and am now 73! I love the beautiful villages and I’m glad you spent time with your family.

  • Happy new year, or in Scots, a guid new year tae ane an a' Here in Scotland in days gone by every town had a half day closing for shops. In some towns it would maybe be a Wednesday but in others it could be a Tuesday or, another day. The practice started to die out in larger towns in the 80's and by the 90s it only happened in smaller towns and villages. Now there's no half day closing anywhere that I know of in Scotland. When I was a child if it was half day closing in our town (which if I remember correctly was a Wednesday) if mother wanted to go shopping we would have an afternoon out to a neighbouring town. Mother knew which day was half closing in every town within miles!

Definitely no shopping on a Sunday. Most shops were closed by 5pm the rest of the week. I find some small independent shops still choose a Monday or Wednesday to close if they are open less hours. I agree with you. Sunday was like a different day to the rest of the week. Quiet and relaxing. I really miss that.

Kirsten I remember the shops in the UK closed on one afternoon on a weekday. This was many years ago There was a shops act of 1911 and this required that shops closed for one half day per week. Of course remember the shops did not open at all on Sundays, except paper shops, I believe in the UK. I wish you both a Happy New Year and look forward to watching more very interesting videos.

  • I loved New Year's Eve in Germany, Silvesternacht. I remember in Wiesbaden they had huge celebrations with tons of fireworks. The next day, you'd walk downtown and see all the little wires from the rocket style fireworks, but then to walk again downtown the day after that, clean as a whistle. I had also forgotten about Wednesdays...but being excited when November came and not only were shops open on Wednesday, but had later shopping hours, too, until Christmas...and of course, the Christmas Markets. As I do every New Year, I think fondly of Wiesbaden because we married there on 2/2. 35 years soon! Hard to believe.

I remember in the 60s in England that all the shops would close early on a Wednesday. I was just a child but I often think and remember those days. A few years later myself and my family moved to Greece where Sundays remained Sundays with the shops closed and public holidays were observed as well with all the shops remaining closed. Even now the shops remain closed on New Year’s Day and public holidays are observed. I am back living in England now and feel like we are flogging a dead horse here. There’s no family time I feel anymore. Everyone is in the rat race. Anyway thank you for taking us along on your charming and most wonderful adventures. Wishing you both a very happy new year.

Auch ich habe mein Englisch durch euren Kanal verbessert und gleichzeitig interessante Bilder und Schlösser in England gesehen. Ich freue mich darauf wenn ihr uns bald eure KZhead Trophäe zeigen könnt mit 100.000 Abonnenten. Toi toi toi. Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg🏆

    • I know, it can be far too much! We are always so shocked when shops are open on Boxing Day etc. It's also good to have a rest and just plan ahead.

  • Belated happy new year wishes to you two! Those centuries-old houses, the church bells, and that amazingly old Porta Nigra - I loved looking at it all. I know how it is to be in one place while your husband has to be in another. I sure missed my husband when in the 1990's he drove from New York to Oklahoma to visit his old high-school pal who really needed his help. When he returned home after two weeks away, I cooked him his favorite meal: Chicken paprikash with spaetzle!

  • Happy new year! When I was a little girl, shops closed every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. Nothing was open on Sundays. So everywhere was very quiet! Now like you said, every day is the same! It was good for shopkeepers to have a break. I don't think they could do that nowadays!

  • How wonderful to see Germany in all its heritage and well-preserved glory! I hope that the UK can learn that it doesn't need to bulldoze old historic and inimitable buildings but preserve them!! UK Borough Councils hear this! Look at what developers have wrought in Knightsbridge and the City! Total heritage destruction in exchange for filthy lucre... how the council gets away with it is unbelievably mind-blowing...London will lose its appeal if it starts looking like any other city...it's in its cultural difference that it's appreciated.

  • I loved Trie , I was told it was the Roman capital in Europe outside of Italy during the Roman Empires rule . The Roman buildings are amazingly intact . The central plaza of Trie is very charming . The surrounding countryside is also very charming . Thank you for reminding me of my time in this area xx I have a surprise for you , I come from London and when I lived in London it was always half day closing on Wednesdays . I was very upset that they brought in Sunday opening in the UK it showed no respect for our Christian faith and observation of the sabbath being a day of rest and Christian fellowship . I think it sad and not progressive in any way ! Thank you for always uplifting me with your lovely trips out pointing out parts of interest , not to mention the coffee tea and cake treats we get to be jealous of ! Wishing you both a perfect 2023 love and blessings to you. xx

  • As a German I love it so much that almost everything is closed on Sundays -especially for the workers of course but also for myself - it's a true day of rest for most people. You two are so sweet to each other, it was funny hearing you speak German at the end :D

    • Wir auch, das fehlt manchmal hier. Hier gehen die meisten sonntags einkaufen und mähen rasen. Das kann nerven, weil es schön ist, einen Ruhetag zu haben.

  • I lived in England 50 years ago and I remember some towns and villages closed for a half day then . I think it was the day before market day . I live in the southern USA and I remember stores closing half a day a week then as well. All changed now .
