8 THINGS I WILL NEVER DO IN THE USA AFTER LIVING IN GERMANY

Yes, you´re right: For me as a German women talking about Nazis is no joke at all, because it is such a terrible part of our history and it hurts me very much, if someone makes a joke out of it.

Not only that Germans bring dogs to much places. If Germans need to leave their dog at home, the dog walks around in the whole house alone. I’ve never seen a dog in germany in a cage like a bird or hamster. And they are trained from the beginning to do their pee and poo outside.

I hope you continue your channel back home.

Its sad that circumstances force you to leave. You belong here. I'm sure it's not just me who feels that😵‍💫

Calling us nazis is like the most hurtful thing you can say. In that case even saying all the time that our language sounds super aggressive (whose language doesn't when yelled?) feels like a pat on the back.

When I moved back to Sydney, Australia after living in Germany for 8 years the thing I never gave up was bike riding as transport. Used to get abused a lot for bikeriding by Sydneysiders but attitudes are slowly changing here too.

I'm thankful that my dog is a (legit) service dog and we get to go everywhere together. However, the downside is that I need to have my dog with me EVERYWHERE whether it's convenient of not.

I was an exchange student in the U.S. many years ago, and I remember one person asking me when I got there, "So what's the deal with you guys... are you still Nazis?". Granted, this was out in the rural Midwest, but I was a bit shocked that people there knew next to nothing about modern German culture. They knew about German beer, Oktoberfest and the Autobahn, but with quite a few people there, that was almost literally it. The town's staunch Southern Baptist pastor, of all people, was one of the few who were following international news avidly, and he would ask me quite educated questions about Germany very regularly. But most other people, well, America was all the news that mattered to them.

Always love seeing how much thought you put into leading your life, from small to big things, from toast to nazis :)

Thanks for those videos - I love that "real authentic person" view. I don't understand how anyone can attack you for whatever... Different opinion can happen, but a civilized tone is a must. As for insurance part has been talked about at the "LebenUSA" channel several times, and he gives a lot of hints how it is now. There are a lot of possibilities which came up in the last decade, including state financed or state supported. Deutsche Welle has an English speaking channel, even on youtube. Same goes for ARTE Journal, and 3sat news which both offer a European-wide view.

My ex used to imitate Hitler, and I didn't have the guts to tell him how terrible insulting that was, especially since my Mom was scared to death of the Nazis as a child (she was threatened for refusing to go to Nazi meetings).

Hey Hayley, I am looking forward to see your "new" life in the US and how your point of view may change after some time.

Success, happiness, acquiring good karma, however you want to put it, isn’t that hard. Be nice and respectful! EVERYWHERE! Good points Hayley!

My favorite is still Hochzeitsrücktrittsversicherung, in case you change your mind in the last minute😂

What I’m mostly missing after leaving Germany three years ago is german bread. And as I see, I’m not the only one 😂 There’s nowhere better bread than in Germany 😅

Yes, I use a VPN for most of my browsing now because I’m paranoid about data collection. Websites from other countries are much more transparent about it.

You are so right when it comes to kids on the internet. I don‘t know if I would have liked it if my parents would have put me online. Parents should put themselves in their kids shoes and think about this before acting.

"[Toast] is not bread." 10:19 - Wow, this out of the mouth of an American! I as a German was suprised positively. 😄

I think the Nazi one can be explained to people from the US as it is like our N-word.

People bringing their dogs everywhere surprised me when I studied in Germany. I admit I thought it was weird at first, but then I realized that dogs were much better behaved in Germany than in the US (in my experience). I wonder if that has to do with the fact that people can bring their dogs to a lot of places in Germany, so it's part of the social contract that you will train your dog to behave well since it will be out in public. It's something I have been thinking about for a while. Great video as always!
