the top 10 awesome things about German culture I went to Germany like every
other tourist I saw incredible castles beautiful
churches amazing rolling hills and just German things but you probably already
know that about Germany but what shocked me and really just surprised me was the
German culture see the German culture is so unique and special and I just never
expected it see even Germans probably don't realize
how incredible their culture is and so that's why I made this video here are 10
incredible things about German culture
number 10 germans keep their promises what i mean by this is as an American
when I see somebody that I haven't seen for a long time and I tell them let's
catch up sometime let's get together sometime soon we Americans don't always
follow through on that we almost never actually catch up I mean we have busy
lives important things to do like watching Netflix but in Germany when you
say let's get together let's catch up sometime soon you really mean it you
make plans and you do it and number nine Germans are very punctual they're always
early to events and always on time and I noticed this when I was in Switzerland
because I made Swiss friends that would go to the military and the Swiss would
have people from the German area Switzerland the French and Italian and
they'd often talk about how in the military it was a Swiss that we're
speaking German that would always be on time the first two their activities also
the first two bed number eight Germans are super organized traveling around
Germany and having a lot of friends it's pretty hard not to notice that
number seven Germans can have a wild side now after you're learning that
they're punctual they follow through on things they're hardworking you might
paint Germans you know aren't the most exciting people but they do have a wild
side and just go to like Oktoberfest and don't go to the drinking because you
know those people are gonna be crazy but there was this one area where they
had this big spinning thing where men would jump on each other and just trying
to hold on to dear life and they get thrown off again only in Germany
wouldn't that be fun
number six the inventors of Europe Germans have discovered the printing
press in the car tape recorders mp3 music contact lenses electronic
microscopes that's just a small list of the many things they have invented
number five Germans are leading the world in sustainability and you won't
even know this because Germans are so humble and quiet about it but they're
really doing so many things to make this world a better place for the future
number four Germans have a great relationship with basically everywhere
else a German passport is one of the best passports in the world to have and
it seems like every country gets along with Germany number three Germany is a
great place to travel to there are nine other countries that border Germany and
is in the center of Europe it's easy to go everywhere else in Europe and there
are no tolls in Germany which makes traveling around Germany really
affordable and lastly it's just beautiful to take a car and travel
around Germany there are so many hills and valleys and castles and beautiful
fields to see as you travel throughout the country
number two Germans have some unique festivals and it seems they're always
having festivals for example when I was traveling around Germany there was I
discovered Germans have their own Halloween yes they have the Rose Monday
parade which happened to be there when I was there and a bunch of people were
decked out in costumes and number one Germans have the best work-life balance
in the entire world hands down in Germany you have 30 days off a year a
Sunday everything is closed because you're supposed to spend that time with
your families you're not allowed to get paid overtime because it's supposed to
encourage people not to work overtime and enjoy family time the German
government requires you to take two weeks off in a row so you can totally
disconnect that lunch you're frowned upon to talk about work
and so in Germany you're expected to go to work in work hard but when you leave
work you leave it at work and you're able to disconnect and enjoy a life
outside of work and this is something that I really hadn't discovered anywhere
else in the world and so I encourage you to visit Germany and not just see the
beautiful sights but also interact with the people and discover how beautiful
the culture is in Germany
