i swear not all german people are this rude, i'm sorry you had a tough time! :( as a german myself i think younger people are generally nicer and almost all of them can talk basic english. cashiers and bus drivers are almost always rude, even to germans...so don't mind them! i wish you the best and i hope you'll feel more comfortable soon!

왐마,, 왜 우셨대,,,,,, 하지만 저 역시 처음 서울 왔을 때도 훌쩍였던 걸 생각하면,,, 혼자 독일,,?당연히 눈물파티 각이다,,,,,,

As a fellow foreigner studying in Germany I can tell you that your initial reaction to transportation and the language barrier is totally normal! I think I cried a little throughout my entire first week and mostly relied on Google translate and asking strangers my age to translate things for me lol I've been here for 4 years now and still haven't really adjusted fully but the student experience here is pretty nice so I'm sure you'll feel a little more at home in no time!

As a German I hope that you have settled in well here despite the many problems and challenges. I myself know how terrible the German bus and train traffic is and share your frustration. I hope that you will feel comfortable in Germany and that the people are nicer, because at the moment they are terrible. I like your blog and will continue to follow it. Feel hugged 🫂 Hwaiting 💜

I recently came back from Germany and I have something to tell you: You are hella strong for moving to a country halfway across the world... don't ever take that for granted!

아구..길바닥에서 우는거 맴찢.. 그래도 잘 적응하고 있다니..박수를 멋진 독일라이프 기대할게요

Hi! I'm currently an exchange student from Canada in South Korea and this video was so relatable. I was crying everyday during my first two weeks in Korea and now I am used to it (it's been a month now). You will have an amazing experience :)

welcome to Germany 💜 as a German, I really hope this country will treat you well so that you can enjoy your time here 🏙️✨

I was a student in Germany for a year in 2010-2011 and this feels so familiar to me - just how difficult things feel when you're not yet sure how they work. So many things felt strange and different from living in Australia. (And I hated those big soft useless pillows, ugh!!!) But I found that I settled in really quickly - my room felt like my own once I purchased some pretty decorations, and I made friends in my language class and we all helped each other out with difficult tasks like going to banks and council offices. I hope life in Germany becomes fun and easy, and that you enjoy your time there!

저도 지금 교환학생으로 한달째 독일에 있는데 길거리에서 우는거 왜이렇게 공감될까요🥹 저도 첫날 필요한거 장보고 저녁 7시쯤 들어왔는데 한국은 이미 늦은 시간이라 부모님이랑 친구들이랑 연락도 못하고 혼자 기숙사에서 펑펑 울었던 기억이... 자취도 한번도 해본 적 없어서 완전 처음 겪어보는 외로움이였어요 🥲 그나마 1인 기숙사라 다행이였어요😅 이욜님 남은 교환학생 기간동안 잘 즐기시길 바랄게요 파이팅💪💪

24살우리는와기일뿐 외국에가서 혼자 해결하는 당신이 넘 멋져

can’t imagine how hard it was to adapt. you did it better than i thought i would ever be! thank you for sharing this journey with us, hopefully you’ll have great time in germany! 🖤❤️💛

This brought back so many memories from my exchange semester in Belgium. 😄 Even though I'm from Europe myself, I still wanted to cry and fly back home during the first week there. So it's a normal experience. Enjoy your time there!

I'm German and did a year abroad at Pusan National University in 2020/21, so it's quite fun seeing you do essentially the same thing just in the other direction. I cried a lot in my first two weeks in Korea because I had to organize so much while also doing mandatory quarantine, so a lot of stress and no human contact. But after adapting it gets so much easier, and it was really fun for me. Hope you will have a great time in Germany!

울디말아여..응원합니다🙋🏻

I feel you! The excitement of going to a new country but instead you’re greeted with mishaps. Happened to me many times but after going through it, there is indeed a sense of triumph! Welcome to Germany and enjoy your time there. 😍 I’m preparing my move to Germany. This came at the right time. Thanks for sharing your experience! ❤

타지에서 적응하는게 진짜 쉽지 않죠 ㅠㅠ 공감되는 내용이 많아서 덩달아 눈물이 나네요 😥 앞으로는 행복한 일만 가득한 교환학생 생활이 되시길.. 💚

지금은 적응을 다 하셨다니 넘 다행이에요🥺 영상만 봐도 덩달아 서러움이 차오르는 기분... 그 시간을 견디고 적응하시느라 넘 고생많으셨어요! 멋쟁이 이욜님...🤍

5:09 아ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ웃으면 안되는데 너무 웃기고 안쓰럽고 귀엽고 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 야무진 유학생활 잘하구 돌아오세요 이욜님 !!!!! 💪

moving abroad is so hard, but i swear after a few weeks you will settle in nicely. I cried so much with language barrier. You got this!!! Fighting x

오. 독일로 교환학생을 가셨군요! 그래도 약국 직원분이 늦게라도 도와주셔서 정말 정말 다행이에요!! 울고 있는 이욜님께 위로와 응원의 기운을 보냅니다. 영상 말미에 이미 잘 적응하셨다고 하셔서 안심이지만.. 그래도 앞으로 더더 익숙해지시길, 하루하루 더 행복해지시길 바라요.

I was a student in the Netherlands for 3 years and your video was like a deja vu to me. Your initial reaction is completely normal! I remember crying so much during my first week that I didn't leave my place without sunglasses to hide my red eyes lol. I congratulate you for how brave you are as going to a country completely different from your own takes some guts, especially if your loved ones are far away. From personal experience, I can tell you that it gets better with time. You will start adapting, you will meet new people and you won't be sad as often as you are now. Whenever I was feeling homesick I tried to remind myself about why I wanted to study abroad (e.g., being independent, new culture, friends, a better future etc.) and that usually helped calm me down. Your life is just starting and there will be so many new things to experience from now on, so look forward to that and good luck!

I recently moved out from my moms apartment and into a student dormitory 5 hours away from home. A lot of things that happened to you, reminded me of my first week (but not as bad cause I didn’t move to another country). I am still adjusting and it’s been over a month 😭 but hopefully I’ll get even more used to living alone and doing everything by myself whilst keeping up with the studies. Fighting eyol! 🫶

its so endearing to see your hardships as a newly exchange student! i felt the same things when i started studying in korea. but you know it gets a lot better with time and after you meet the right people ♡ i’m excited to follow your videos in germany! 이욜 화이팅 🙇🏻‍♀️

I am so happy that you are adjusting to your new life in Germany! I wish you the best always for being so brave and making your dreams come true!!

무사히 돌아와유~!

멋져도 울 수 있어 멋쟁이욜화팅

Eyolll!! You’re doing absolutely amazing. I honestly feel the same way as you do since, I’m also an international student trying to adjust and catch up with studies in a new country. It’s very overwhelming with countless breakdowns along with tears and too much to juggle but don’t worry, you got us! 👍🏽💜 💕

ㅋㅋㅋ… 저도 프랑스 유학 첫주인데 원래 이렇게 처음은 다 서러운가 찾아보고 있었어요. 낯선 땅에서 우리 많이 성장해보아요 ❤ 화이팅

길에서 울 때 저도 괜히 눈물 찔끔 나왔는데ㅠ 윤기 키링보고 웃었어요ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 독일 유학 화이팅하세요💜

aww pls know that we’re here with you on your journey as an exchange student there in germany!! rooting for you 🥹🫶🏼

Thank you for showing your hardships of the first week in Germany. I wish you goodluck on your journey as a exchange student!🌸

ㅠㅠㅠ보다가 토닥토닥 해주고 싶어지는 영상이네요 지금은 잘 적응하셨다니 다행이에요! 아프지마시고 건강히 교환학생 생활 잘 하시길 응원합니다!!!! 🍀

oh my god, I just watched this and I was so close to cry with you. I can totally feel you even though I am german and never lived somewhere else. I promise you, there are a lot of nice german people. they really exist and I'm sure you will meet them soon and hopefully you can enjoy the rest of your time here. ❤

Sorry that your first few days were rough but you did fantastically! 🏆 You made it to class, you shopped, cleaned, cooked and made your room all cozy. You should be proud of everything you've achieved in such a short time. I'm sure good times are just around the corner for you 😊. Eyol fighting! 💪 ❤

Welcome to Germany🌻🎉! Woah those were some hurdles, I can't imagine how strussful that must have been😟. I hope you experience many more positive days 😉 수고했어요! 💜 보라해요.

이욜님,, 영상보면서 교환학생 꿈꾸고있는 저두 막 울컥했어요 ㅜㅜ 독일에서의 나날들 다 좋았으면 좋겠습니당 💓

잘할수있어요! 힘들어도 주저앉아도 다시 일어나시고 힘내세요!

i relate to this so hard 😭 i had a bad experience as an exchange student in france last year and this reminds me of it so much, the hard times but also the happiness when you find some little pieces of home. this was so comforting ❤️ i hope you have a great year in germany it will only get easier

you don't need a water filter in germany, our water is really clean and can usually be drunk right from the tap! enjoy your time and heads up, most younger german people speak good english

i was an exchange student in seoul during the last spring semester and, as i’m from italy, i understand the panic that comes from all the cultural differences and from switching from a country to a so different one for a period of time, so i really can see myself in you in this vlog lol … but i miss korea so much… after the first month of adjusting i think i lived some of my happiest moments there and i made so many friends! i’m really sure you will have an amazing time too 💘💘💘

So sorry to hear about your first problems, but it looks like you overcome them pretty well! Good luck and be strong Eyol

Man this is relatable as an international student in Australia. And I hadn't lived alone prior! You went about everything so fast though lol I relied on uber for transportation for monthsss I just started using the bus. It took me two months to find a place which is when my younger sibling joined me. I relate to the feeling of buying everything but wondering if it's worth it, but it is no matter how much! Because you need to live this time to the fullest. You don't want to look back and wish you lived in the moment. Have fun & excited for more vlogs to come~~

Got so excited when you posted this! Welcome back Eyol 🫶🫶💖💖💖

이욜님... I hope you can enjoy your time there, 화이팅!!! 💜💜💜

Im so sorry that your first week was so terrible in Germany 😭😭 I hope it’ll get better soon and that u feel happy here ☹️🫶🏽

방구석에서 교환학생 브이로그 보는 저는 상상이 안가네여... 이렇게 편하게 봐도 되는건가싶을정도로 😥 눈물은 많을수록 자신의 감정에 솔직해지고 그만큼 후련해지더라구요 ! 저도 눈물이 많은 편이였었어서 컴플렉스로 여겨졌었는데 지금은 그런 제 과거를 매우매우 칭찬합니다 ❤ 이욜님도 막 창피하고 그러지 않으셨으면 좋겠어용 더 많은 브이로그도 존버해봅니다..! 한국이든 독일이든 우리 모두 화이팅..💕

Those clouds at the beginning look so dreamy!

As a German I found this very interesting to watch and subscribed to see how your journey goes on! I‘m sorry your first week was so tough and people were rude. I really hope it will get better soon, that you can feel at home in your apartment and that you‘ll have a lot of fun experiences here. I wish you all the best! (By the way: Our tap water here is one of the best in the world and you can drink it without concerns of bacteria etc. - it‘s even better in quality than bottled water)

재밌게 잘 봤습니다.. 이욜님이 눈물나실때마다 공감이 가서 같이 울컥..ㅜㅜ 너무 잘 하고 계시고 시간 지나면 추억이 될거에요 앞으로 영상도 기대할게요!

Do not worry Eyol 언니, for all of your sacrifices will all be worthy one day. Making adjustments are tough at times, but one thing is for sure, you're doing it for good. 😊

힘내세요 이욜님! 응원할게요! 💪🏻🤍☀️

Happy to see a new vlog. I'm sorry that you had a somewhat difficult start here, but that is perfectly normal. I really hope that you enjoy your stay in Germany...although your timing couldn't be worse. Things are going to get expensive. And don't get too frustrated with how things are handled here. It's weird and somewhat inefficient, but you can get most things done just fine. I am sure that you got this and you'll be ok. Also...there should be Asian markets that sell Korean stuff. Just keep looking. All the best!

새로운 나라에 교환학생으로 가는거 자체가 너무 용기있고 멋져요 처음은 너무 힘들겠지만 잘 해 내실거에요!!! 홧팅홧팅

omg i almost cried seeing you cry!!!! Stay strong! love you 💜

My heart absolutely broke when you told us you cried I can’t imagine the stress you experienced so far from your home but I hope you can adjust to our weird lifestyle and can find happiness in the following year!! ❤️‍🔥

Hey, your reaction and emotions are totally valid and normal. I grew up in Germany and the transportation system (the trains specifically) really frustrate me, too, sometimes. Especially when I’m tired and just arrived by plane and all i want to do is go home. Generally, German college students are pretty friendly and enthusiastic about helping out foreign exchange students as they love the cultural exchange so I would recommend sticking to the younger people. Older Germans can be very rude and impatient. For some reason they often don’t understand that our system here can be quite overwhelming for those who are not used to it. I’m sure it’ll get better soon. Join as many events as you can in the first 2 weeks of university. They usually have many things planned for the new students (first semester or exchange students). Most people there are looking for friends and it’s very easy to strike up a conversation. Usually lots of bar hopping and treasure hunts through the city. It’s fun!! Best of luck!!

I'm also a foreigner student in Germany and I began on October 4. my Bachelor program (3+1/2 years). I can't say I had the same experiences as you because I got help but I do feel you.. Never give up! it's only 1 year, you will learn and gain so much from those experiences it will only be beneficial🔥💪

I felt every emotion you was expressing. I just wanted to reach through the phone and give you a tight hug Eyol. You got this keep going with your studies in Germany 💕

You are so inspiring!! It takes a lot of courage to move to a new country, wish you all the luck ❤

I get so happy when I see a new eyol upload 🥺💕

it's really hard to live in a new environment and crying is very normal, even I who was a country girl decided to study and live in the city cried every night even up to this day. I hope you'll adjust well and have fun life as an exchange student. Take care always!

영상 너무 잘 봤어요 ! 타지에서 많이 힘드시겠지만 적응 잘 하셨다니 다행이에요 👍🏻

독일에서 한국으로 돌아온지 1달차,, 그리워서 다른 분들 독일 교환학생 브이로그 찾아보고 있네요,,.... 저도 첫날엔 질질 짰는데,, 다 괜찮아질거에요.. 시간 금방 가니까 많이 여행 다니시구 즐기구 오세요 ! 세탁기 멍청비용까지 똑같아(요 ....

어유 ㅜ 길바닥에서 울때 나도 같이울었네 ㅜㅜ 이욜넴,, 그래도 씩씩하게 잘 적응하고 지내는거 같아 아주 안심이요 🥹

Good luck with your studies! I applaud your bravery.

oh my god..if I was you, I would be crying too 😭 all the best and have fun in germany!❤

cant wait to see your journey in Germany! wish u all the best at there

Oh myyy, hope you are feeling a lot better now after all the struggles Eyol! Yollies from all over the world are cheering for you ❤ I pray that you will have a wonderful experience and meet good people throughout your journey in Germany! Himnaeseyo 🤗🤗✨

Im from Germany and moving to a different country is terrifying, especially when the culture is so different. I did one semester abroad in the US (our cultures aren’t even that different) and I still cried on my first and second day because things can be very overwhelming I’m glad that you seemed to have arrived safely though 😊 Aldi always has great cheap products, look out for their weekly stuff, it’s great! And yes, Germans can be quite distant, shy, or just simply rude. I promise that not everyone here is like that 😅 I hope that you have a great time despite the start (but who doesn’t struggle in a new country? I think it’s normal) and that you find many lovely people to spend your year with 😊

I felt the way you did when I first moved to the Netherlands! It’s normal and it’ll get easier with time. Good luck ❤

Welcome to Europe!! Travelling so far from home is something to be proud of 💓💓 My Korean is not very good but… 재미있을 거예요! 약속해요~

I can imagine how hard this must have been. Looking forward for another vlog ❤

Welcome in Germany. So sorry for the difficult time here. I wish I would live close and help you adapt here! Good luck! With time it will get better. Greetings from Augsburg

Oh, sorry to hear your first day's in Germany weren't so good and I hope these days your days are better 😊 Life can be hard here and I hope you'll have a wonderful and cheerful time here for the upcoming year.

이욜님 우시는 소리 들리니까 저도 괜히 찡해지고 그래효 .. 그 와중에 윤기 키링 챙겨가시고.. 마트 가서 야무지게 장 보시고 식료품 물가가 싸다고 좋아하시는 모습이 너무 귀엽고.. 잘 적응하셨다니 너무 다행이에요 !! 이욜님은 어디서 뭘 하던 어떻게든 다 잘해내실 분이니까 독일 일상 영상도 꼭 얼렁 들고와주세요 ..❤️❤️

look forward to seeing your exchange vlogs!

This video reminds me of my exchange semester. I was really hard time for me too at first two months but now I missed my life in germany so much. Love your vlog and also wanna cheer up for you. Hope everything goes well and hope you enjoyed it soon. 🫶🏼💖

you are doing so well eyol! I hope you stay strong and adapt as soon as possible! Fighting! 🥺💖

First bus cancelled and second bus 50 minutes late...that is definitely the most German experience ever. I'm sorry you had to go through it right on day one. I'm German, but I went to study in the UK and I can relate so much to this video. Going abroad is an amazing adventure but it's also a lit to take in and there are many moments of frustration. The crying...omg I feel you. I cried at an Asda once in the middle of the bread isle (about 5 months into my stay) because I couldn't take the sight of it anymore and was craving bread from home. Anyway, I hope you'll settle in well and that you make lots of wonderful memories to balance out the negative. All the best!

Don't be sad, dear. Everything's gonna be ok👍🏻😁

흐어ㅓㅓ 교환학생 해본적도 없지만 이욜님 영상 보면서 괜히 눈물 핑 😢

I absolutely adore how realistic this is!

So brave! 💪🏼💝

Welcome to Germany! I'm studying Korean studies and want to study in Korea someday, so it's exciting to see that situation mirrored in your videos. I'm familiar with feeling crushed in a foreign country. I also cried for a solid week before I got used to living abroad during my gap year before. I hope you're doing well!

이제야 감상하는 이욜님 교환학생 브이로그,, 길에서 뿌앵하셨다는거 보고 저도 같이 흐어유ㅠㅠㅜㅠ 지금은 완전 잘 적응하셨겠쬬?! 나머지 영상들도 잘 볼게요💗

great job eyol so proud of you! goodluck i know you can do it ♡

have a great time here in germany!!

You have to stay strong❤❤ jt broke my heart when you were crying and looking for the office 😫

Omg I relate to the crying, so so much. Being alone in a foreign country is so hard during the first days, where you don’t understand how anything works and you don’t speak the language. It can be so overwhelming. You’re very brave and strong for pushing through!

I feel you, I moved to Germany 2 years ago and the first week was an absolute rollercoaster

Finally new video !!

1년 교환 지금 시작한거 진짜 개부러워요ㅠㅠㅠ 저는 독일에서 교환 6개월 있었는데 제 인생에서 제일 행복한 시기였어요ㅠㅠ 처음엔 작은것도 낯설고 어려울수 있지만 금방 적응하고 진짜 재밌는 시간 보내실거에여~~~

New beginnings in a totally new environment are tough for everyone. I hope people will help you, it made me sad that you did not get help on the street or in the shops. I always appreciated incredible help I received while traveling around South Korea. I am based in the UK - if you ever come over, reach out, happy to show you around. Btw. first laundry made me laugh - I had the same issue with laundry in South Korea, everything was in hangul and although I could read it, I didn't fully understand anything beyond the label "normal" so I kept doing laundry on that setting. Still don't know if it was correct or not :) Keep up the resilience, you got this!

So proud of you eyol!! 💖💖

Stay strong !! I’m going to enter uni too next week 😭💚

흐허 영상 초반에서 이욜님 우실 때 왜 저도 같이 울었을까요ㅜㅜ 낯선땅에 혼자 있는 느낌은 정말… 그래도 지금은 잘 적응하셔서 너무 다행이에요 ㅎㅎ 교환학생 일상까지 공유해주셔서 너무 감사드리궁..독일 간접체험 하는 느낌이라 좋네용 ㅎㅎㅎ 밥 잘챙겨드시고 아프면 서러우니까 건강관리도 잘 하셔요❤

어떡해ㅠㅠㅠ 이욜님 도착해서 울고 밥 먹다가도 우는 모습에 제 모습이 겹쳐서 너무 짠하고 안쓰러웠어요😢😢 저도 독일에 있는데 그 마음 너무 잘 알거같고 초반에 겪는 그 쓸쓸함은 겪어보지 않으면 절대 모르죠.. 그래도 이욜님 응원하고 아끼는 사람들이 많으니 좋은 일들만 가득할거에요!:) 화이팅!!

helo eyol! im not sure if this comment reaches you but if it is, i just wanna say im so proud of you, since your early college days, gap year and till now im so happy to see you growing! have fun in Germany ❤

I hope you will figure things out! Good luck and stay strong ❤️
