I'm an American but I've been all over Germany. Comparing Berlin and Munich is very hard because they're both great cities but in their own unique way. Berlin is definitely the more "cool" city. It's very spread apart and Berliners have a very "no-bullshit but still have fun" attitude. I would also say that Berlin by day is fantastic for history and nature lovers(Berlin's parks especially the Tiergarten puts those in New York and London to shame) and at night......WOW! Berlin's nightlife is ridiculously amazing. Munich on the other hand, you definitely get that more rural Bavarian feel. Munich is charming and a very family orientated city. But of course when Oktoberfest happens, get ready to party! One other great thing about Munich is its relatively easy access to the rest of Bavaria which to me is without a doubt the most beautiful of the German "lander" (states) and Austria is also pretty close. So all in all, both cities are great and definitely worth a look. That being said, if I had to choose which one I would live in , I would have to say with absolute certainty: BERLIN!
He is right! Summer in Berlin makes you forget Cold, Windy, grey Winter in Berlin...
+Flavia Galacho That's totally true. As much as I love Berlin in spring, summer and autumn, I have to agree that it is cold , grey and ugly in the winter.
Wow, Dana, Alex is super cuttteeee! You should have him on your show more often ;D The two of you in one video is like an adorableness overload!! hahaha! Very interesting video and I learned so much I hadn't known before. Thanks, guys!
+Liv Lowry hahahathanks Liv!! :D Hey -- check your UA-cam messages inbox :)
Replied! :D THANK YOU!!
+Liv Lowry thank you Liv ;)
Dana as Alex is saying Berlin is a good place to be...if you have some time it would be nice if you make another video in this great city
Hey Dana, it was super fun making this with you ;)
The only thing I regret is that we didn't go for that second Maß haha
+MrHelferSyndrom haha next time, next time :D And then maybe I'll try that ride at the end without help o.O
+MrHelferSyndrom Ein Apple-Fanboy Channel? Ernsthaft jetzt?
+YouHolli Was ist so schlimm daran? Mag er halt Apple, naund?
Dana, one day you must come to Soest in the heart of Westphalia!
Every early november you find in Soest the world's largest, greatest and most beautiful old town fun fair: The Allerheiligenkirmes takes place between half timber houses and old churches.
Apart from the beer tents it has nearly the same size as the Oktoberfest, but there are many nice and cozy ("gemütliche") pubs, where the party goes on all the five days! ;o)
Genau. Habe in Soest gewohnt. Ich bin immer im Pesel gewesen.
+Jost Schwider Thanks so much for the tip!! I just googled "Allerheiligenkirmes" and checked out the photos -- looks like fun! I just love the half-timber houses too, so sounds like it is right up my alley :)
+Wanted Adventure _Great!_
So when you're coming to Soest send me a message, so I can be your guide...
Hmm, I hope your German is better than my English... ;o)
Do you use a H4N from ZOOM for recording your voices?
I thought Munich was ok (was there about a month before Oktoberfest) but Berlin seemed much more vibrant. I do need to go back for Oktoberfest though....one day....
Meh, you're doing it wrong! It's neither a Pfannkuchen nor an Eierkuchen. It's not even a Kuchen! It's called Eierpuffer. You might make Kartoffelpuffer too. As long as it's round(ish), very flat and comes from the pan, it's a Puffer. Reispuffer or Zucchinipuffer work very well too! In Austria they call it Palatschinken - took me some time to figure it out, while the waitress stared at me in disbelief, ready to call the guys with the white vest (col. German "Die Jungs mit der weissen Weste" refers to psychiatric warden that bring the straitjacket with them). In Austria they usually don't sweeten it, but cut it into stripes and add it to a soup or beef bouillon. I'd say "Tasty!" but you said that doesn't work out - so I'll go with "Delicious!" ;-)
Again: you're doing it wrong. All of you! Everyone is wrong but me! =D
+vertex rikers Wow!! I had no idea there could be so many different names for a pancake :) Thanks for the heads up. And just a quick clarification! You can say something is "tasty" with a "y" at the end, you just can't say "it tastes." Because "it tastes" just means that it has some kind of a taste...but you are not saying whether it is a good taste or a bad taste. SO, you can say "it is tasty" with a y at the end. Or you can says "it tastes delicious" or "it tastes good" BUT you cannot just say "it tastes." :) Make sense?
Wanted Adventure yup, got it. So "tasty" implies "lecker". In that case "Rindersuppe mit Palatschinke" is lecker! Err.. tasty! =)
(the N is optional)
I learned that with wheat related everyday products, there are many many many words. My guess would be that the recipes are so simple, that many people figured them out independently, giving it sometimes very different names. The "Krapfen" is called "Kreppel" in my current area, which is Dieburg (between Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg, near FFM) - whereas we called it "Berliner" near Göttingen (Lower Saxony, Heimat!).
For Brötchen they use "Wecken" here - so there are many kinds of "x-weck". Like "Wurstweck", which might be short for "Wurstwecken"? I'm not sure. Basically it's a Brötchen with a Sausage baked into it. A Wasserweck would be a regular one. You know Campingwecken? That was the only "Wecken" I knew before moving here.
Oh, in Schwaben they call tiny baguettes "Seelen". Look up "Schwäbische Seelen" or the Wikipedia article "Seele (Gebäck)".
Germans are weird when it comes to baking wheat into something =)
Err ps: Seelen contain rye too. Not just wheat.
What is Munich? München?
Ja, Munic ist München! Und Baverya ist Bayern
+Emilone XD achso, danke :D
Auf dem Oktoberfest ist immer alles überteuert. Sonst sind die Preise in Bayern auch nicht großartig anders als in Berlin.
+Chrischi Sorry, aber da irrst du gewaltig, Ist eigentlich egal was. U-Bahn, Essen, Mieten, Eintrittspreise.. alles ist ne Stange teurer in München. ich hab ihn beiden Städten gewohnt. Dafür sind auch die Löhne in München etwas höher.
trick is just drinking fast? LOL
It is what it is ;)
Och ich idiot, ich habe sie doch schon mal bei Mr.Helfersyndrom gesehen😂😂
Hes comparing Oktoberfest prices to nirmal street prices thats not fair
Wenn du verschiedliche Deutsche Mentalitäten und Geschichten kennenlernen möchtest, empfehle ich dir gerne Leipzig! Nicht nur einmal ein Zentraler Punkt in der Deutschen Geschichte! Stichwort Völkerschlacht und Montagsdemo. Und das Völkerschlachtdenkmal ist auf jedenfall sehenswert!
Ich meine natürliche "Verschiedene deutsche Mentalitäten"
Dana... drink beer faster!
First!
Mein Gott niemand trinkt Sparten da kennts eich glei zum Hippodrom neisetzn, dem Hip-po-drom und da geht dann um Neune die Party los und um viertel nach Genga wieder alle und aus is, himmefadda wenigstens is koa löwenbräu.......
Was??? Ähmm . . . . ja genau!!! ; ) LG aus Niedersachsen
204863th ;D
Aren't you dead?
DerTypHierNamens Olli
Das siehst du dann am 20. Oktober ;)
freu mich schon :)
Well street food in Munich is also not THAT expensive. I mean this is the Oktoberfest, everything there is expensive.
Awesome video! :) Next time I'll definitely have to try more food! :D
+Get Germanized Yeah!! This year you got to sample (and sample and sample ;) ) the beer, so next year we'll do a food tour! Yummy :D
Na ja, "Brötchen" ist ja eher hochdeutsch, wenn man es richtig "berlinerisch" sagen will ist das "ne Schrippe bitte!" Semmel=Schrippe :D
+MsMargottM Da siehst du mal wie verwirrt ich noch bin und wie schwer ichs da oben habe ;)
Haha Perspektive ist alles ;)
Kiel ist super, ich war vor 2 Jahren mal auf der Kieler Woche, war richtig nice :)
Hey I live near berlin. Yeah, gebratene Mandel taste delicious.
'Waschlappen' haha :'D, no American would understand washcloth. We German say this, if a person haven't the courage to do something like 9:25
And the Pfannkuchen thing was something I stumbled over a few times as well, in my first few months/years in Berlin. Because, what Bavarians call "Krapfen" is also often called a "Berliner" in many parts of Germany - *except* in Berlin, because the full name would be "Berliner Pfannkuchen", and so this is really tricky.
+Seegal Galguntijak Haha yeah Berliner is another word...super confusing lol
MrHelferSyndrom I was asking myself 13 years ago: "What do I order when I want a Kreppel?" (the Hessian word for what Bavarians call a Krapfen) - because ordering a Berliner in Berlin is really weird. Now, I almost call it a Pfannkuchen myself! ;-)
Seegal Galguntijak hehe the struggle is real ;)
+Seegal Galguntijak ever buy an amerikaner?
37683769 Sure. Also a Hamburger :-)
is it just me or does dana really look like anne hathaway? :o
No, actually in Berlin we say Schrippen for Brötchen, as the Bavarians say Semmeln. It's just a different dialect, while Brötchen would be the dialect-free Hochdeutsch version.
***** I think this will never happen, so this question doesn't have an answer, nor would it need one.
***** So what? The color of skin is nothing but superficial. We're all human on the inside. So I don't care. Also, culture is something that is constantly changing. I trust that what is worth surviving, will survive. Plus, I am not sure if I'll even be around by the end of the century. On the other hand, there are those idiots who think that "being white" is somehow superior than being "non white". I am white, with 100% German heritage recorded back to the 1600s, but I still don't think I am better than anyone who has a different color of skin. Sorry, but that would be just completely stupid. If that is what "being white" is all about, I want no part of it, and I think those people who think that way really need to get down from their high horses. I mean, how pathetic must one be to identify with something as unimportant as ethnicity? I really wouldn't want that kind of life, how can someone even live like that, without the basic grain of intelligence to see that we're all human and noone is better or worse than the other? Yes there are differences (but also mostly on the surface, so they are unimportant as well), but as long as everyone abides by the law, nobody is better or worse or has fewer or more rights than the other. If someone can't see this simple truth, they should really smarten up.
***** It's funny how someone like you talks about "civilization" as if being civilized (and not just mistaking being technologically advanced for being civilized) did not mean to finally understand that we are not here to fight against each other, but to work together instead. And talking about low IQ, as if it were possible to have views like yours and be intelligent at the same time. No, it isn't, because intelligent, civilized beings don't need superficial, unimportant nonsense to identify themselves by. But due to the Dunning-Kruger-Effect you have no way of ever understanding what I'm talking about, so it is basically pointless to continue this discussion.
Just one last thing: Neither our culture nor our heritage are threatened by the fact that we get to know other cultures. You got it all wrong, and you have no chance to see it, because you lack the intelligence for this kind of understanding. My condolences about that.
***** I just don't believe in separation, or humans fighting against each other. I'm neither a marxist, nor am I lying - I'm just not stupid or fear-driven, nor both, while instead I'm being realistic. So I am not afraid of "what is coming" - not even concerned! We're 80 million people here. So if we were to let 8 million people into Germany, this would still be only 10 percent (and as such no threat to culture or heritage). And it was never planned to let 8 million in. Even if it were that many people seeking refuge from being killed by IS, then it would still be true that most of them want to live a decent live and are not criminals. Also, many will likely want to return to their homes, because they also have the things like heritage and culture there - even if you don't believe it, because you are too stupid to grasp the concept of one human race. So I really don't worry about the few thousand criminals that may be among those needing refuge, because there is the law to deal with those. The criminals in the upper ranks of politics and corporations however are not being dealt with by the law, and I see this as a far bigger problem, because they, although indirectly, inflict much more harm than the others ever could.
You should do the same with someone from hamburg. Berlin is the biggest city in germany, hamburg 2nd and munich 3rd. So you would have the chance to compare the three biggest cities in germany. And I think hamburg is totaly different.
+ElRackadusch Great idea, thanks!! :)
Wanted Adventure
Würde mich riesig freuen wenn da noch was zu kommt. Bin zwar Ostfriese und nicht Hamburger, aber es kommt meiner Region schon näher^^
*****
STFU
+ElRackadusch Oh yes, definitely, Hamburg is missing. Well I'm from the south (not Bavaria, though), but I enjoyed my business trips to Hamburg very much -- last time I spent 4 days at Hamburg Schanze ... great neighborhood, you got EVERYTHING there, even a standard pub serving some vegan thai food (along with the "Astra" beer) -- and it was my first time trying "Kumpir" :D. And the funniest encounter was some original beardy guy, asking me on the street, in the middle of the night, for a cigarette ... and then he was like "hey wo kommstn du her ... haste überhaupt ne Einreisegenehmigung?" haha .... Still thinking I should at some time come to Hamburg just as a tourist :)
Greetings from Munich! I never was a real Wiesn-Fan, yet this year I kinda enjoyed it for the first time. It was nice. The city however is bonkers at the time. Subways and the suburban trains are just packed with drunk people. The smell is intoxicating ;D
+trexation Yeah, I've found that the longer I live here and get to know the best places at the Oktoberfest, the more I enjoy the Wiesn...but yeah, definitely some interesting smells wafting around during that time haha
Yeah those two weeks are special ;)
I have watched the vid on alex channel featuring you. I think some more videos with you talking German would be hervorzüglich! ;-D (ich mag dieses Kofferwort *G* )
3:10 Berlin has never been "one city", even before the cold war. Berlin's most accurate description would be "a city of villages".
+DJDoena I like that!
Naja aber vor dem kalten Krieg konnte man normal von Ost nach West und zurück
+fjellyo32 Das ändert aber nichts dran, dass auch schon 1930 Köpenick nicht Tiergarten war, auch wenn beide große Grünflächen haben und Kreuzberg nicht Wedding, auch wenn beides Arbeiterviertel waren und sind.
+DJDoena Sag das mal einen Spandauer, die rasten förmlich aus, wenn sie als "Berliner Bezirk" bezeichnet werden XD.
Cheers 🍻🍻😅😅
can you please let me know about the microphone you're using?
Please if on Oktoberfest please try the original food and not fruit with chocolade what you get every where.
Where are all the Economic African's and Arab Migrant's?
Ich dachte irgendwie "Mr. German Man" kommt aus Köln? Wenn ihn schon das harte Schicksal nach München verschlagen hat, warum macht ihr dann kein Video über /aus Köln... Berliun finden ja zuerst mal die Berliner gut - und das Brötchen haben die echt auch nicht erfunden^^
Somehow I have the image of Bavaria (Munich not so much though), that - not unlike in Saxonia - that racism is quite prominent there. So I think, because of that, Munich would be a hard place for Alex, who doesn't look "stereotypically German" with his darker colored skin and hair, to grow up at. In Berlin however, nobody looks at the color of a person's skin, it's so relaxing!
+Seegal Galguntijak I lived in Munich the first 18 years of my life and I did not face any racism once :)
...then again, my best friend came to Munich as an immigrant from Africa and he can tell you a different story.
But overall there is little racism in Munich!
MrHelferSyndrom I think it's worst in the whole southern Bavarian region outside Munich, since Munich, being a big city, has to remain some degree of open-mindedness, while in the countryside many people never needed to evolve one bit during the last how many years. I've heard of horror stories that there are regions where people from Africa mustn't go, because they won't be able to get out alive.
I have been traveling through Bavaria and I have not experienced anything like that.
I am not saying that there is no racism in Bavaria, but the horror stories are probably a little too much!
MrHelferSyndrom That's good to hear. But then, I've also heard similar stories about Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern around Berlin, as well as Saxony. Maybe they are all over exaggerated, or maybe they have some true core. It shouldn't be tolerated though, because we call ourselves civilized.
Yeah I think those places are worse than Bavaria. And I agree that racism cant be tolerated!
"Schatzi" is Bavarian? Wait what? :D
+Nutzername92a Brötchen in ---berlin? whats that? does he mean schrippe?
Schatzi sagt man, wenn man sich nicht zwischen Schaf und Ziege entscheiden kann. ^^
(You call someone "Schatzi" if you can't decide between sheep and goat.)
Hi hi . . . Alex noch ohne MODEL S - oder? DANA ROCKT !!!! (please go on!) Thanks : )
germanized bought me here?
If you love the cultural differneces you should visit northern germany =) it is not as touristy as the south with all the great castles, but it has some really beautiful places and its own cultural specialities...even if the rest of germany thinks that we're a little weird and grumpy ;D
+Nyuhx3 lol I've never heard that people in the rest of Germany think the people in the north are grumpy! But yeah, I definitely plan to make it up there. I've actually heard how lovely it is!
+Wanted Adventure I think there#s an article around the Internet called ''8 Fakten über Norddeutsche''. I think is is hilarious :)
das lätscherte Spaten ne 10? na wirklich ned. "Lass dir raten trink kein Spaten!"
The Summer is better in Munich!
You should have compared munich and Stuttgart. Stuttgart is more popular. As a German i didn't even knew there's an Oktoberfest in Berlin. And guys its only called Oktoberfest in munich traditionally. The others are called Frühlingsfest and Volksfest
+XthePHANTOM gaming Not true. Oktoberfest in Berlin is called Oktoberfest.
retropolis it's a cheap knock-off for Party tourists
You have a Dirndl :D
Also ein Brötchen nennt man in Berlin "Schrippe" ...
Hi, grüße aus Berlin
+fjellyo32 Hello! :)
Sorry for that but from a scale from 1 to 10, Bavarian beer deserves a 12! ;)
Ich kenn den Typ aus der O2 Werbung!!
+UBe Racis' (UBeRacis') was du dabei vergisst ist, dass diese "Niggaz" aber auch Deutsche sind.
Wie sich ein Mensch verhält, ist weder von der Hautfarbe noch von der Herkunft abhängig....
+UBe Racis' (UBeRacis') nur weil ich also nichts gegen Ausländer habe, habe ich deiner Meinung nach also "Angst davor Rassist gennant" zu werden?
Tut mir leid, aber das verstehe ich nicht so ganz... Solange eine Person nett zu mir ist, ist es mir vollkommen egal, woher diese Person stammt.
+UBe Racis' (UBeRacis') Letztendlich sind wir alle Menschen
I also moved from the south of germany (and ten years of Zürich, Switzerland) to Berlin. It is interesting how different the cultures feel. Natives of Berlin have a constantly aggressive undertone for one. I also recognized that the communities I choose, the creatives and the entrepreneurs are highly dominated by expats.
+Sarah Andrea Royce what you experience as "aggressiveness" is not really aggressive. Berlin Natives are just known to be very straightforward. There actually lies a lot of humour in this, since other people from berlin will not feel attacked or anything, just because the busdriver swill greet you with "get the f*ck in". They will just answer "f*ck yeah, don't be in such a hurry" and then they'll both laugh. There was once a famous t-shirt for waiters and waitresses saying "tip me or shut the F*ck up".. and it's really not meant to insult you, but to make you laugh.
ein Berliner Brötchen heißt schrippe!!!
In Lower-Saxony we say "Pfannkuchen" too :D
Naja wenn man nich grad aufm oktoberfest essen kauft is es auch billiger kenn jetz die preise von berlin nicht
Weqödj Jdlokle Ist aber so. Berlin ist in fast allem spürbar günstiger als München, nicht nur beim Essen. Auch Mieten, U-Bahn, Ausgehen... alles teurer in München. Dafür gibts in München mehr Geld für die gleiche Arbeit.
What was that thing in the end where you slide uphill?
It is the Tobbogan; see www.oktoberfest.de/de/article/Das+Oktoberfest/Fahrgeschäfte/Der+Toboggan/390/ or www.toboggan-konrad.de/wordpress/
ArmAd Spengler Oh, thanks! So it's not sliding at all, it's a simple conveyor belt. Shouldn't be that hard, especially if you can run to match its speed before stepping onto it. But the wooden slide looks like fun.
Where in Germany do you stay?
+Fixi loves bicuits I live in Munich :)
+Wanted Adventure That´s cool great city! Will be there next Tuesday
