We will miss our European ones too! We love hearing that you’ll be along for the ride here in Japan! 😊 Stay tuned!

"K.u.k (=Kaiserlicher und königlicher) Hoflieferant" translates to "Supplier to the imperial and royal court".

kaiserlich = imperial königlich = royal This referred back to the Dual Monarchy Austria-Hungary (1867 - 1918), Austria being the imperial title and autonomous Hungary being the royal title. Both were held in personal and later real union by the Habsburg emperor (Kaiser).

Thanks for commenting and helping us to learn. 😊 So awesome you live in Vienna!

Eeekkk thanks for sharing! Gets us excited!

Thanks so much! 🫶 they really do pair together so well! We were happy to experience the markets-so magical!

Actually we didn’t leave before the snow!! 😂 But thankfully, it didn’t affect our flight & we landed in Japan today! Stay tunnnneeed.

we do the same in Austria when we are at our home, but it is a bit different at christmas markets

@@herb6677 That’s because Austria is German. Starting from its birth, which occurred through the Bavarian colonization of previously Slavic lands, Austria was always part of the Kingdom of Germany until the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806. And even after that it continued to be part of the German Confederation. Any objection based on the weakness of these state entities is invalid, since it is only evidence of the political weakness of Germany, certainly not of its non-existence. Continuing, even after the foundation of the German Empire, the Austrian emperor himself continued undaunted to consider himself a German prince, given that Austria's failure to enter the unitary German state was certainly not due to a non-Germanness of Austria itself, but rather to the presence also of vast non-German areas within the empire, areas which, remember, all separated from Austria. And in fact, once the war was over, everyone thought that, since these regions had gone their own way, there was no longer any reason to remain separated from the rest of the Germans. It was the victorious allies, that is, Austria's enemies themselves, who prevented it. Therefore the very idea of ​​Austria as an independent nation is a ridiculous invention of Austria's enemies, which has no historical or ethnic justification, but which was only useful to them to maintain their domination. The only reason why Austrians developed a separate identity is to distance themselves from what they perceived as Nazi ideals. But: 1) the problematic aspects of Nazism don’t include pan-Germanism, which was supported even by many interwar socialists; 2) it’s an irrational reaction not based on actual facts.

@@AlexanderLittlebears Wird Raclette in der Schweiz Daheim denn nicht auch in kleinen Pfännchen gemacht? Ich habe das jedenfalls dort schon erlebt. Sind die jetzt deshalb auch Deutsche? Was ein Quatsch, von einem modernen elektrischen Pfännchenraclette- Grill aus auf den Schluss zu kommen, dass Österreicher Deutsche seien, weil sie in früherer Zeit - als es noch gar keine solchen Raclette- Geräte gab (!) - doch dies und das erlebt haben. -> Kommen Sie im hier und jetzt und damit in der Realität an bitte, kleiner Bär! Es reicht, wenn Pooptin und Xi sich die Vereinigungen der Vergangenheit feucht wieder herträumen. Österreicher sind Österreicher und wir alle Europäer.

She expressed all of our feelings 🫶 thanks so much!

Same! Thanks so much though 🫶

We hope you can visit it there!! Thanks for watching 😊

Thank you! We will miss Germany so much 🥹🫶

It’s so true!!

Yes it is!! Two more videos and then we are taking it to Asia!! 🫶

Yes we did! Nice eye! Also no thankfully the snow wasn’t an issue coming back 😊

We believe Vienna is great during the Summertime! Fun to hear about the preference of season for Linz too! 😊

@@OurStorytoTell I don't know much about Linz 😛 I think, if you enter the webpage of the city or google "what to do..." or "festivals in Linz" you will get answers

@@OurStorytoTell In summer in Germany and Austria you actually only do two different things: 1. Go swimming (outdoor pools or lakes): Every small town actually has at least 1 outdoor pool, big cities have several (Vienna, for example, has 3 indoor pools (cold months), 10 outdoor pools (warm months) and 9 combination pools which are open all year round - and these are just the pools owned by the city of Vienna, private pools like the Therme Wien are not even included). In Bavaria there are quite a few "thermal baths" (Therme Erding, Bad Gögging, Amberg...) and fun baths ("Palm Beach" in Nuremberg) There are many lakes in the Alps that are perfect for swimming in the hot summer season. But there are also some bathing lakes far away from the Alps. In Bavaria, for example, the Großer Brombachsee with some beaches; or the lakes around Schwandorf; small bathing lakes such as the Pfraudorfer See. There are also many lakes in Meklenburg-Western Pomerania. Swimming in the Danube is also very popular in Vienna (not everywhere but in certain places, for example in the arm of the "old Danube"). 2. go to festivals (public festivals, i.e. no entry fee). Vienna: Danube Island Festival "Donauinselfest"), Festival at Rathausplatz (Films & Food) Munich: Tollwood (summer Tollwood, not winter Tollwood), Theatron and city parks Nuremberg: “Bardentreffen” Small towns: “Altstadtfest” for example in Amberg, Hersbruck, Neumarkt... of course you can combine: swimming and chilling during the day and food, fun and music in the evening.

Ah dang it! It’s a bummer we missed out on the street food sausage! Hopefully someday we will be back. 😊

Thanks so much!! We can’t wait!! 😊

Oooh love the recommendations! Thanks for sharing places with everyone 😊

It’s fun to hear what your favorite ones are! 😊

Not the last as we have two more videos coming out, but we actually just landed in Japan TODAY! 🇯🇵🫣 but, we wanted to end our European videos wit my two Germany ones 💗

@@OurStorytoTell Oh my! You're now in Japan! Fantastic! I do hope the journey wasn't too stressful, especially with Noa still being so young. You'll be busy, exhausted, excited, hungry (!). I'm not going to add further pressure for the first video, but when it arrives I'm sure it'll be a humdinger! I wish you all the very best of luck!

Thanks for watching 💗
