ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 28, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

As barfuss already asked, where did your grandmother come from? As far as I know there is one big difference between potato salads in Germany or the german speaking countries. With or without mayonnaise. My grandma was born in Silesia, so my favorite potato salad is with mayonnaise, bacon, coocked egg and pickles. But in the southern regions like Bavaria and Austria that is very uncommon.

@@MadMusicNerd Ich war insgesamt 4x da dieses Jahr, beim ersten Mal nur ein schneller Rundgang zum Lagechecken, und habe mir beim ersten Zeltbesuch offensichtlich eine klassische Wies'n-Grippe (kein Covid) eingefangen. Die ganze Welt bringt halt ihre eigenen Virenstämme mit, die du noch nicht gewöhnt bist. Nach 'ner knappen Woche ging's mir soweit wieder gut, habe dann beim dritten Besuch meine Freundin angesteckt. Die hat's dann auch sehr zusammengehauen, und wir haben es am letzten (Mon)Tag noch mal versucht, aber sie musste sehr schnell aufgeben. Die Erkältung hat sie bis vor ein paar Tagen mit sich herumgeschleppt, erst jetzt geht es langsam wieder. War wirklich ekelhaft. Auch bei mir war das ungewöhnlich lang, Erkältung is normalerweise 1 Tag kratzt es im Gaumen - 1, max 2 Tage Husten und Niesen - und gut ist, aber diesmal ging das nicht so richtig weg, zog sich. Für Wies'n-Verhältnisse war es eine Wüste dieses Jahr. Wenn man jederzeit draussen oder drinnen einen Platz bekommt, dann ist das nicht normal. Gerade mal der letzte Tag war normal voll - und auch da hast du noch einen Platz bekommen. Sonst waren ja spätestens um 4 die Zelte dicht, dieses Mal bist du einfach durchgegangen.

Germany is much more than WW2, don't forget all the philosophers like Kant, Nietzsche and so on or musicians like Beethoven, Handel, Bach and so on or the Oktoberfest, Christmas market or all the companies like SAP, Carl Zeiss, Siemens and so on or the car companies like Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW and so on and then the fairy tales that were later stolen or changed by Disney, they originally came from the Brothers Grimm and then the first moon landing was mainly influenced by a German, Werner von Braun.

I spent two years in Germany while I was in the US Air Force, stationed in the Hunsrück region near the Mosel River valley areas. I had the opportunity to go to Oktoberfest on two occasions with several of my friends. Watching this video brought back so many wonderful memories for me. I’m dating myself here lol because I was there from 1988-1990. I found out without a doubt the best beer in the world is in Germany in general, and the O-fest specifically, delicious food (I love German food btw). I am about 50% German, having gotten German blood from both my grandmothers. I hope someday to return to visit and take my wife and my now adult children over there with me. Thanks for sharing this and all the other videos. Both of you seem to be an awesome young couple, and I hope and pray the best for your two as it would appear that you will be spending the rest of your lives together. God bless and take care! Tschüss!

french canadian here. I went in 2007, travelling alone, and actually got there on the final sunday because of itinerary changes. I did go and take a peek inside one of the tents, but i really wanted to sample some beer and mingling, so i ended up in a "merry-go-round" bar outside (I think it was the Fransischaner bier one). I was trying my best to communicate in german (with my half-dozen word vocabulary, lol). A guy next to me, seeing my dismay, gave me some english help and the barmaid, who probably thought i was making fun of her, suddenly understood... The guy was from Denmark and made the trip each year with his friends. He told me he was a member of the "Ten beer club" over in Denmark. I had a fun time, and definitely have to go back soon, AFTER learning some of the songs!! Tschuss!

As Feli explained in an other video, the word "Stein" is not German, and nobody knows where Americans got this term from. It just means "stone" and is sometimes used for the ceramic, as "artificial stone". Never for a glass. Correct term would be "Krug" which means jar. But Glas is OK also.

Hi, an ex-pat here in Munich. I just wanted to add a tiny detail, regarding kids "am Wiesen". I got my son with me (2,5yr) this year. And there where people in civilian with accreditaions. Who approached us and told us that they are from "Wiese kinder und jugendhilfe" (Oktoberfest kids and youth help - translated literally) and they informed me that kids should not be on Oktoberfest longer then 8 pm. And that we should slowly walk out. Although at the "Oide Wiesen" there where kids running around even around 10 pm. But "Oide Wiesen" is for families so maybe that is the reason.

Feli, Ben watching this video brought back old memories. In the summer of '69 I met my future wife during a summer study tour . We were based in Seefeld Tirol, but made several trips to Munich. The Englische Gärten was amazing, but as 15 year old Americans we were most impressed that we could get ein Bier pro 1 DM (25 cents at the time) . I expect that we would be splitting one between the two of us at today's prices. While we have visited Germany a couple of times since then we never got a chance to see Oktoberfest.

I lived in a NYC suburb during my childhood. There was an amusement park called "Playland" (used in scenes for the movie "Big"). In one building they had several rides to test your skills of staying upright, including a teufelrad (with an american name which I have forgtten). That was in the 1940's, but I guess things like that have been scrapped by america's increasingly litigious society.

I agree with Ben about not really being able to understand the scale, vibe, or what happens until you are there in person. I also went to visit my family in Munich and we went to the Oktoberfest. We went on the first Tuesday it was open and the cloudy weather kept a lot of people away, which was great for us because we could see everything, go on the rides and get food with no lines. But by Wed the sun was out and there was absolutely no room in the tents or even on the walkways outside! I loved it! The street food is the best! The quality is so much better than at any festivals or state fairs I've been to in the US. BTW, if you don't want the alcohol, they did offer a very tasty non-alcoholic beer, in the same glass. 🍺😉 Servus!

On the other days my group (bunch of portuguese people) were the only ones doing noise (not much, we tried to be respectful) in the train, but during the fair, it was so noisy that it shocked me! I got to see the fun (and some reckless) side of the german people and the fair itself was a good experience - i don't drink beer but it has other drinks in some tends, which was nice for me and the vibe was really nice and surprising.

They are much more than tents but if you go to Google maps for Oktoberfest Munich, you’ll see a completely empty fairground. Pretty amazing! Really loved the community aspect. Everyone we talked with were so friendly. So much fun singing along (although I am certainly not a singer) to Country Road and Sweet Caroline! Everyone should go at some point in their life!

I went back in 2017 with about 20 friends from around the US. We had a blast. I would love to go back some day. A few of us also went to the fest in Stuttgart that week. It was smaller and more personal. We enjoyed it equally.

Nice video. After 2 years break I was there 5 times this year. Best moment was the closing night in Bräurosl, tent lit up with sparkles and everybody singing along to Angels from Robbie Williams. One thing that was not covered in the video is Oide Wiesn - really a must for me at least once a year.

Ben, you can find almost all of those big temporary/portable rides, including the roller coasters, at larger fairs in the USA. Especially larger state fairs, such as Texas or Minnesota State Fair, which are the largest. In Kentucky, you'll probably only find those rides at Kentucky Kingdom (which also provides the rides and games for the Kentucky State Fair, a relatively small state fair). In the eastern half of America, in general the farther north you go, the larger the fairs are.

I also experience my first Oktoberfest this year as well while living in Munich. The thing I just realized is that my experience at fair and fest grounds in the US is that there is an entrance fee and all the rides and good is an additional charge. We have been to several dults and now Oktoberfest and there is no charge for entrance. It’s fantastic.

I didn't realize there was so much to do at Oktoberfest! All those places in the beginning of the video makes it look like a huge exhibition! That's nice that people have to share a table at Oktoberfest. Would make it less awkward for someone if they went to the festival alone and wasn't sure how to approach people. That's good that they had vegetarian and vegan food. Normally during mosaic I don't bother going to the food part of the German Club, but if there were vegetarian or vegan options for the food, I'd be more likely to check out the food more often.

I am moving to Munich from the US next year right as Oktoberfest kicks off. To say I am excited is an understatment

Interesting to hear Ben's thoughts on Oktoberfest. I've been twice (Never in a tent though) but even at our little carnival at my home town we have big rollercoasters 😂

Great video Feli! I’m half German and have been to many Octoberfests in America especially New Braunfels where I live! But I went to Germany to visit cousins for the first time in 2016 and it was amazing! I didn’t know about the lines and rain we waited for two hours but finally one of the beer girls let us in because she felt sorry for my 5 year old son in Lederhosen! Anyway it was really fun and want to go again!!

I was in Switzerland for work with a coworker in September 2017 and our flights back to New York from Zurich were on Sunday morning. We finished up on Friday and drove from Biel Switzerland to Memmingen Germany where we were able to get a hotel on short notice. We caught an early train into Munich and were in the Hofbrau tent by 10:15 Saturday morning. We didn't leave until 21:30 and it was great. Luckily we got an open spot at a table only about 40 m from the stage and were joined by a group of local Munich young people. Both of us were "old" (47 and 50), and we had a great time with them. I am fairly short and didn't want to get lost in the crowd trying to get to the toilet so I held it until we left at 21:30. That is an impressive feat after 5 liters! We were back to our hotel in Memmingen around midnight then on the road to Zurich by 5:30. The whole experience was fantastic and I hope to return and enjoy more than one long day of singing in one tent.
