I was looking at hotel options for Belgium and came across Motel One never heard of it saw they had locations in many countries in Europe I was looking to visit they look very nice good to know it's actually a good option I kept thinking the price was to good to be true good tips thinking about visiting Germany during Christmas seasons.
I can tell you're passionate about what you do, it really shows in your videos.
You talk too fast 😅😅
Thank you for the video! We had made plans to visit Germany for about 3 weeks this coming August. Our plan is to go slow and we will be having a looping road trip starting from Frankfurt, moving south towards Stuttgart and East towards Munich and probably with a final stop at Nuremberg before heading back to Frankfurt.
Question is what kind of weather are we expecting for the month of August? We are really not sure what clothing to pack.
Thank you too for your website! Plenty of fantastic tips in there, will fill up our evenings nicely doing a bit of reading.
My prince charming and I love your videos, specially the ones on Christmas markets in Germany. We have done trips to different regions of Germany for Christmas market season and currently planning a 4th this coming December. This time we will be in the North Rhine Westphalia region with stays in Köln, Münster, Dusseldorf, Aachen, Bonn and Monschau. The only disappointment I have had so far in Germany, especially in Bavaria was language related. I was wondering if you while you lived in Munich if you experienced anything similar to what I experienced. I took private online classes from Goethe Institute and am B1 level, so I would assume that while I can't claim to be totally fluent, I can certainly converse reasonably. Of course, being in Germany is the time to immerse myself, but sadly I would too often get, "You're not German, why are you speaking German?" and then either reactions varying from eye rolls, talking behind my back with co workers and being ridiculed (I could understand every word) and in one case being told that I shouldn't bother. I come from Montreal, Canada and speak 4 languages fluently aside from B1 German and when tourists come here and say a few words in French, we are thrilled with the fact they actually took the trouble to learn a few basic words. Therefore I am not understanding why Germans would react in that manner. We were also in Austria last December and their reaction was the opposite! They were thrilled that a Canadian who is not German would actually take up German and I was told by young and old that my pronunciation was excellent and they were more than happy to oblige in German. It made for some very interesting conversations, new friendships and dinner on the house by one restaurant owner and one very memorable evening with an invitation to stay with him and his family next time we are in Austria. All the best and keep up the great videos!
5:50 Oh yes! Foreign People love to stare!
You need to slow down, you are talking way too fast! Great content, but hard to listen to.
Perfect content! Lots of important information! I enjoyed the video very much.
Please slow down!!! I think you are talking way to fast!
(Are you payed for words per second? 😊)
Nice
Tap water is not only uncommon but frowned upon as usually the restaurants don't make any money on the food they sell but make their profit with the drinks, so by being cheap and getting tap water you are actively harming their business (and in recent years more and more restaurants have started to put tap water on the menue with a high price so that they can uno reverse card the people trying to scam them out of their profit when the bill arrives)
Bronzer everywhere is definitely the way to go in the summertime. ❤❤❤😊
