Canadian Reacts to Northern Germany: Meet the Germans Road Trip Part 1

The " Strandkorb " sometimes has some additional useful functions. You can tilt it for more comfortable lying. It has extendable footrests, small folding tables for eating or drinking, a fold-out sunshade and some have lockable storage spaces for valuables when you go swimming

With the english "Die in Hell" you can buy shoes in germany.😂😂

man, your pronounciation of the german language is really good!

"Moin" is an abbreviation of the Frisian "Moije Dag", which translates into "good day". "Good day" would be "Guten Tag" in High German and "Goden Dag" in Low German. Regarding the swans in Hamburg: The birds are being taken good care of by a city employee called the "Schwanenvater", during the warm season the swans are set free to roam the central Alster lake and the connecting canals(named "Fleete") in Hamburg City and also to reproduce there. When winter approaches , all of the city's swans are driven into their winter quarters by the Schwanenvater and some more hands , a smaller pond named "Eppendorfer Mühlenteich", where they are fed and cared for through the winter , also that pond is kept ice-free for them, only to be driven out on the Alster lake again the next spring. The background of this whole, annually repeatative procedure is an old legend , that says as much , that the city of Hamburg would be always doing fine and would be always prosperous, as long as there would be swans swimming on the Alster lake, so obviously this is taken quite seriously by the city's administration to this very day, as they are still willing to pay for all of the expenses. Cheers from southern Schleswig-Holstein

The recipe for "Matjes" comes originally from the Netherlands. The raw fish fillets (from herrings caught between May and July) and pancreases are pickled in a brine for about 5 days. By the enzymes of the pancreas a fermentation process is started. The other kinds of soused herring in Germany are "Bismarck herring" (fillets pickled in vinegar) and "Rollmops" (herring fillet rolls filled with onion and pickled gherkin, also pickled in mild vinegar).

We usually have nudist beaches at lakes here as well. Germans just dont tend to "over-sexualize" nudity as much as americans do, its just natural. We have mixed Saunas too.

Northern Germany is underrated by foreign tourists. You have a lot of beautiful cities small and big, but also great nature like the beaches and the lakes.

Please also react to the other 3 parts of this vid, it shows how different we Germans are and how our basic values connect us, even though we are different cultures in one country.

According to legend, the swans warned of an attack by pirates with their loud chatter. Since then, 100 swans in Hamburg have been fed and housed in warm stables in the winter. It is a big event every year when the swans are released back into the Elbe

14:27 Labskaus usually looks worse, because potato, beet and corned beef are hashed or mashed (more like eaten once already), but it tasts really fine.

The video you are looking for is from the YT-channel RobWords and is called „How anyone (including you) can read German“.

Yes I have been to a nudist beach (I am from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern though, so that's not really surprising). Matjes is basically sour pickled herring. I don't like it that much tbh and I am from Northern Germany and like fish. It's an acquired taste I would say and I never managed to acquire it.

Hello from Bremerhaven. From the North Sea coast. We in the state of Bremen (Free Hanseatic city) also like fish. And we also have some stories. One is that around 1900, over 7 million people emigrated here from Europe to America. And today, the US Army still has a base here in the harbour to transport its vehicles.

The Anglo-SAXONS were Germanic tribes that came from the modern-day German state of Lower SAXONY (Niedersachsen). In Niedersachsen they still speak Low German and Frisian which is the closest language to English. Frisian would still be intelligible to speakers of Old English

often tourist go to Munich, Frankfurt and Berlin and say:' I was in Germany.' Or even if you live for years in the South, the North is very different and has its own traditions. A comic strip/movies wrote by Brösl(Kiel) tells about the differences, in a funny way. It called 'Werner', with many inside joks that mostly only people from Schleswig -Holstein understand. The best scene of his 1. Movie is when Werner commemteted a sokkergame🤣maybe you find it on Youtube.

Look at the beauty of my Home City Leer/Eastfriesland !😊❤

I am from Rostock and we have a normal and a nudist beach part. So yeah I visited multiple times its just normal and much more casual than you would think.

15:30 in the rest of Germany it's coffee and cake time at 15.00.

You are a very nice guy. Your German pronunciation is very good.❤

The Baltic Ocean is so friendly, you can hardly see the tides, its very flat, nice sandy beaches, some ppl say its pretty cold but Iam fine with it
