American reacts to Berlin, Germany

"Schloss Bellevue" is Germany's White House in the sense that it's our President's place of residency. But in Germany, the President has merely representative duties.

It felt so weird to watch the whole video without sound. I just checked the original and it definitly has sound.

this was weird to watch without any sound, but it makes me want to visit berlin again

Haha this was so funny when he asked if our government building is the mall. Made my day :) love your reaction.

"The mall place" is actually "Sony Center" at Potsdamer Platz.

The part where you like the Art on it is actually the Wall that once splitt Berlin in 2 halfs. It's like a memorial on it's own.

The sound is missing in your video

The thing were you ask "is this the mall place" is the german Reichstag, it's where the parlament of Germany is situated. The mall thing itself is the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz.

The gate is Brandenburg gate. Which was the symbol of the division of Germany and became the symbol of the reunification of our people. It holds special significance for us.

The pink tubes are sometimes blue. They're used to route water and other things over streets and crossings when there are longterm constructions ongoing. This way they don't need to lose roads to replace or restore underground piping. They also are used for temporary water supplies to construction sites

In all the hustle and bustle of the world, it's nice to see that Berlin is such a place of silence (irony off).

ryan there´s no sound of the Expedia video

The building with the cupola at 4:45 is the German Reichstag (Deutscher Reichstag) which is actually the German parliament building comprising the second chamber of parliament. Its members are elected by a nation wide general election every four years. It has been built in imperial times (second Reich) and became the seat of the first democratically elected German parliament during the Weimar republic era after WWI. After the reunification of east and west Germany it had to be modernized and renovated to become the seat of the Bundestag (2nd chb.o.parliament).

The dark brown animal you saw in the zoo is a Okapi, literally a Rainforest Giraffe. It was only discovered by chance not so long ago. No Joke. I did voluntary guided tours in our Zoo in Stuttgart for many years. We have them too, and breed them so we can sustain the wilderness, in case of a emergency. Elmar from Germany.

Every time I had enough of all the bad news on YouTube, your videos feel like an antidote.

Is it supposed to have no sound in the featured video ? I only hear you, but no sound of the video you react to. Thanks.

I went to Berlin last October and really enjoyed it. Met my pen pal and got to practice German. So much history, art, and culture.

There is an area of suburban Berlin which is like Venice - houses fronting onto canals, people going around by boat, instead of car. It's a while since I've been there but I think there's a street car line from downtown which will take you there.

1:42 No, that's the "Spreebogen" (Spree bend) in the Regierungsviertel - the government district. The buildings on both sides belong to the Bundestag and are connected by bridges to one another and by a tunnel to the Reichstag building which houses the plenary hall. The Paul-Löbe-Haus on the left houses a central atrium which can be used as auxiliary assembly hall, some smaller meeting rooms, a restaurant and the offices for 275 members of parliament as well as administrative offices and central visitor support; the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus (MELH) at the right houses the parliamentary library, the archives, press offices, a secondary plenary hall and the offices of the Scientific Services. The MELH (named after Marie-Elisabeth Lüders, born 1878, women's rights activist, member of the Reichstag 1924-1930, member of the Bundestag 1953-1961, died 1966) was built on the place of the former Berlin Wall, and the bridges symbolize therefore also the reunification of Berlin. 6:48 An Okapi, a forest giraffe from Congo.

Sadly the event is gone, because an very bad accident happened in another location but if you want an unbelievable view, look for old videos about the Loveparade in Berlin in the early 2000. It was quite a view to experience, i planned to go to it one day but after the tragic that happened on the last event they shut down the event entirely, which is absolutely understandable but i think we may need such events today more than ever...
