9:15 great music. Sounds like a beautiful adventure :)

Feli!

It's only for iPhones :(

I just stumbled on your youtube channel for the first time. I live south of you about 25miles and have been a resident of the Puget Sound since the mid 1970s. From the 1960s to mid 75 was a native of Portland. from 2001 to 1016 was a resident of a suburb of Vancouver BC Canada. Out of all three cities, Vancouver and BC hands down, is the best. But because the Mainland is Geographically about 1/5 the area of the Puget Sound, land is running out and its VERY expensive to live in. BTW what does your GF think of Seattle? she will likely say "the weather is the same". I do want to say, in the 1980s, the average winter day/night temperature was 33F at night to 39F. The polar vortex would drop the temperatures to 11-22F above zero for 10 days. Regular snow drops "very predictable" was 8-10 inches per storm.

Are you saying that the typical German won't eat a Milchbroetchen - or, are they for kids? I was confused about it. Are they mostly Weckmaenner? I love Broetchen, I hate Milchbroetchen. I think we have an equivalent to a Milchbroetchen in America and it's called Hawaiian Rolls and we eat them on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Can any Americans chime in?

@@LythaWausW yes, but most of us eat them rarely. And because they are quite sweet no german would consider them bread.

@@LythaWausW What I meant is that I as a German totally understand what she means about sweet bread & that it's like the German Milchbroetchen. It was a really good comparison to help to understand the difference between the way Broetchen are here in Germany and how they are in America apparently. It wasn't about liking or disliking something. I do like Milchbroetchen very much. For example with Nutella (or some other Hazelnut-Chocolate-Cream or jam). It's not just for Kids. But in my opinion you would eat Milchbroetchen more as a "treat" and not as a "meal" if that makes sense to you. If you want something more sustainable that counts as a good meal you would choose Broetchen or Bread and not Milchbroetchen, because Broetchen are more satiating. They have a hard crust like bread and are more filling. Most Germans would prefer something hearty instead of sweet when they want to eat a main meal. But back to your other Question: I haven’t been to the US so cannot compare it from experience. I googled the things you mentioned though. Milchbroetchen are not like Weckmaenner even though their ingredients are more or less the same. Milchbroetchen are softer and not decorated with alments or extra sugar. I think you are right they are more like your Hawaiian Rolls. I compared recipes of Milchbroetchen and Hawaiian Rolls. There is only a small difference: Milchbroetchen don’t contain pineapple juice. Instead there is vanilla sugar (and normal sugar of course) in it to make it taste sweet. They really look quite similar in texture, too. I hope I could explain the difference. It’s what makes the culture differences interesting. Finding out about similarities and finding new things to try out.

@@LythaWausW Milchbrötchen taste like sugar with bread, and have extremly many calories ,but stay u hungry. So it´s the worst of them all. If u eat Brötchen or bread u wanna taste bread not sugar

Yeah it’s sweet

🎆🎆Happy New Year 2023 from Germany to Poland. My mother was born in Oppeln (Opole) *1934 and my grandmother *1894 always said capusta to sauerkraut.

@@gabby554 happy new year to you too! :)

@@ewelinakosciow2817 And did the food taste good? Like in Germany/Poland?

@@sammybeutlin2763 sausages were close enough and panchkraut (ciapkapusta) was very good :P

hey mike do it again in Dresden. I am from Berlin but Dresden Stritzel Markt is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. happy new year

@@slapshot1701 That was the original plan but a couple of days in I got a really bad cold so we didn't make it to Dresden but will be back.

I’ve been dreaming of a Christmas in Germany - their holiday markets are legendary!

What part of Texas? There are several German speaking towns in Texas around Austin. My grandfather was sent to an internment camp near Houston during WWII because he was German-American BTW.

The hot wine helps. 🤣🤣

Why would he treat her bad? And if he didn't probably she would walk away! Women aren't fragile and defenseless!

AMEN!! 👍👍👍

I never hear anyone tell the woman to never break the guy heart....why is that? 😒

@@rashadwalker8218 because it's completely acceptable for women to treat men badly. It's up to the man to decide whether or not to put up with it.

She fits right in, like she's already part of the family. No brainer ring girl.

Auf jeden Fall ist sie sympathisch.

And friends and sometimes neighbours.

Often, when there are families, on the 25th, it is time to go to one pair of grandparents and on the 26th, you go to the others, so it is the 24th as a day for the core family, and the 25th and 26 th for the older generation. This is called "Weihnachtstourismus", christmas tourism. Some people, because of the conflicts that often happen on christmas, call this "Weihnachtsterrorismus" christmas terrorism (but that is meant as a joke and only colloquial).

Not to mention that the season of Advent, and also St. Nicholas Day, are observed here and then Christmas doesn't end abruptly on the 25th. There's still an element of the '12 days' here, some markets are open through the end of the year. Growing up in the US, we were blessed that my mom transported these German traditions. The cookies from my German great-grandmother's recipes would last all winter in tins out in the cold garage. And we used to take down our tree on Super Bowl Sunday (whereas some of our neighbors threw them out the day after Christmas.) No such thing as post-holiday blues in my family!

Besides the fact that we have 3 days where we celebrate (Christmas Eve and 2 official holidays dedicated to christmas after that)

Jep, war auch mein erster Gedanke 😃

I sure hope he recognized Feli (a.k.a. "Feli from Germany") featuring in that app with whom he's made videos before. 😅

the fact that his family is so cooperative is beautiful

I laughed very much at the family greeting Laura - when one of his brothers blurted out "Die Suppe ist lecker!" - the soup is tasty - Yeah, traditional German greeting right there 😆

Guess any member of Nalf's family would be perfectly able to correctly order a meal at the Paulanergarten! 😎

Well, I heard that if Chinese people have not seen each other for a log time, they greet each other with "have you eaten well?"

I was thinking the same thing. I wish I had one growing up!

Thank you for another great year. The legend of Mojo Jim. TSGO.

He has Laura, which no one else has. 👍

Oh to be his mom, reading this!🥹😃🌸
