  • I walk through a small town in central/eastern Germany's Federal State of Thuringia with Tien. She explains what it was like living here in the town of Greiz when she was younger and why her family chose to move here.
    Tien takes us on a tour through the main parts of the town in the second half of the video and shows us what it feels like to be here during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

    Did not expect to see Greiz being shown in a vlog on UA-cam like this. Really cool because I went to school there and still live pretty close. Personally I don't like the town's appearance that much outside of the areas shown in the video, but it's nice to see people appreciating it for what it is.
    Also, I've never seen Greiz this empty, especially the Puschkinplatz. Really interesting.

      it's crazy, where I live in australia, 6000 is a decent sized town. Obviously we wouldn't consider it large, but many smaller towns number only in the hundreds, and they are very far apart. This is western australia, much lower population density than the east.
