First question an american friend asked how visited me was: where are your poor people??? I told him those were at home. After a minute of silence, he asked me how you can call dem poor people if there be able to afford homes. And after i explained to him how our socialsystem works. He thought we were communist xP
isnt it funny that Austria was voted for one of the unfriendliest folks of all... again, meanwhile being one of the most livable countries ... again ....doesnt seem so wrong now does it :P!
Yes, after three years and half over here, I can confirm that Austria is lovely and amazing. I adore to live here, to pay taxes here, to have money back for my continuous education here, to have friends here and - soon - to ask for an apartment here! Even the bureaucracy is long but clear. And if you want to go back to university, the cost is absolutely ridiculous. Plus German is just so logic and beautiful, the way the Austrians pronounce it is musical, with so many little particularities... I cannot wait to let my Canadian husband to have the permanent residency in Vienna to enjoy with me the incredible lifestyle of this Country.
I'm 4th generation American and My family tree is from Austria. The more I live the more I'm realizing my mind is more likely built to thrive there than here. I'm looking forward to visiting very soon, perhaps this summer in June/July. For any Austrians who are curious my surname is Troutt, or Trautt.
I am an Austrian living in Australia since over 20 years, and I thank you for your insights. You have definitely caught the real meaning of "Austrian". I am still struggling of making real friends, what we Austrians consider as something normal, is definitely impossible here in Australia, people are superficial in regard to friendships, impossible to really get close to them. Australians a very friendly, don't take me wrong here, but only on the surface, impossible to really get close to them, I am not the only migrant that has experienced this.
Thank you very much! It's good and important as Austrian inhabitant to hear, that "obvious" elements of our daily life are impressive and desireable for people from other countries. You are very welcome to visit us again if you want. 😊
I really appreciate the effort he makes pronouncing our language. and btw "Mohn" is just poppy seeds. and btw: really makes me proud hearing how much he appreciates our values.
This touched me, thank you for your kind words! You did capture the Austrian spirit very well. Of course there are always negative aspects to any country, but sometimes it is nice to just think about the beautiful things you have. Especially in times like these. Stay safe everybody, bleibt‘s daham! ❤️
It's "Wiener Schnitzel" if the meat comes from a calf, otherwise it's "Schnitzel Wiener Art from... cow, pig, chicken". If it is filled with ham and cheese it's cordon bleu - other ingredients would be listed as well.
yes, beer is important here. and i notice that when coming home from a business trip to Arizona or vacation in thailand. in those places the beer is like cold water with a strange taste. in austria it has a certain richness in taste similar to bavarian beer. that is home to me. beside that there is a lot of great wine too but not the designer wine with high volume output but more with individual characteristic that never gets boring.
2:20 Mohnnudeln. Poppy seed noodles are cooked yeast noodles that are pan-fried with butter after the cooking process and then served with butter, poppy seeds and powdered sugar.
Mohnnudeln are amade out of a potato dough covered with a mixture of butter and poppy seeds (The german word for poppy is Mohn) garnished with "Staubzucker" or grounded sugar
Mohnnudeln are 2 inch long, finger size thick stripes, tipped off on both ends made of potato dough. you cook it in water, then put molten butter on it and then the ground puppy seeds on top. But the best Austrian sweet is Germknödel no doubt about it.
I am from Upper Austria and this (attractive and intelligent ^^) young man described my beloved country exactly the way it is...! Vielen Dank und gut gemacht/guad gmocht! 💓🇦🇹😊
The Wiener Schnitzel is traditionally made with veal. The Wiener Schnitzel is a veal cutlet (veal legs) breaded with flour, then beaten egg and breadcrumbs. It is traditionally fried golden in lard and served with a wedge or half of a lemon. The Wiener Schnitzel is one of the most famous specialties of Viennese cuisine and is considered the favorite dish of the Austrian population. "Wiener Schnitzel" made of pork is not called "Wiener Schnitzel" in Vienna, but "Schnitzel made the Viennese way."
Except of the "Trachten" recommendation for tourists (I wouldn't wanna dress up like a cowboy when I visit the USA), he completely nailed it. Cheers from Vienna!
7:12 "Tracht" is the specific garment in (especially) southern Germany/Austria, which reveals the origin of the wearer of the traditional costume. Depending on the costume, one recognizes the origin of the wearer. Traditional costume is the clothing of the indigenous people of Germany.
I love how fond this guy is of Austria. What he said is definitely true. But you have to take it with a grain of salt. We have lots of unfriendly people or even those who are hostile to strangers. Like any place where I went on this planet, I found there were many good but also quite a few bad apples to be found and it is the same here in Austria.
Des Viedeo is ja irgdnwie für leid die nd aus Österreich san. Oba die Kommentare bestehen anfoch aus a paar Österreich die sie grod übelst feiern weil ihr Land einmal erwähnt wird haha 🇦🇹❤️
The part about deep friendships: It always irritates me when in US movies or tv shows, people seem to start to turn on each other so easily... that doesn't make any sense for me...
Thank you for the nice and respectful description. As an Austrian I think you've nailed many typical spots of our beeing and feeling. At last one point about the difference between German and Austrian feeling: For a German 2+2 ist 4. Point. No way for other solutions. In Austria it's also 4, nur in some cases 2+2 can be 5 too, If the solution is ok for everybody and closes or ease the case in a human way
I loved your story with the mothers day... lots of love and hugs to you and thank you for this interview meant a lot to me and MISS YOU ALL. IT LIGHTED UP OUR LIFE and warmed by all you love and joy.
here is a wiener kartoffelsalat made by a star-cook: 1kilo potatoes cooked. before peeling em and cutting, put 65 gramm shugar, 120gramm of oil and 1 tiny onion cutted in a bowl. then cut the potatoes in it. after that heat up 200mililiters of water, put in 30gramms brühe (soup) and pour it over. last: bright vinegar, 100mililiters. done. enjoy!
Your observations is great. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 You have seen through the soul of the Austrian. One thing I‘d like correct is: in Austria we pay more attention to politeness. Germans would greet or say goodbye to strangers saying „ Tschüss“ This applies in Austria if you know the person rather closely but hardly to strangers. An elderly guest in the restaurant or coffee house would address a young waitress or resized in a formal form‘, because it calls for etiquette. Thanks for your excellent appraisals of the county’s mentality,nature, culture, standard of living, transportations.
actually you can't do "anything" with a wiener schnitzel. the cordon bleu is NO wiener schnitzel. the original and real wiener schnitzel is veal with bread fry and NOTHING else. no variation allowed!!! (i am from austria)
don't. don't look into the Trachten. seriously! just don't. it's so so bad when your not a native Austrian. also, the difference between Austria and Germany is more like the difference between Ireland and Britain. for better explaination I recommend Christoph Waltz describing the difference on Conan. ;-)
You have to come to the west side of Austria, if u want to see our Beautiful nature. We have cool skiing resorts as well as pretty views in the summer and many other things
Hippity Hopptity diese Kommentarsektion ist nun im Besitz der Österreichischen Republik
Feels so good watching this as an Austrian

Reasons why I wouldn't wanna live in america:

Österreich is afoch super, gaunz simple

I'm from Austria and seeing this made my day! :) The truth is, a lot of people here don't appecriate what we have. They are spoiled. xD
Austrian lifestyle in one person: Anton Horvath
isnt it funny that Austria was voted for one of the unfriendliest folks of all... again, meanwhile being one of the most livable countries ... again ....doesnt seem so wrong now does it :P!
"Mohn" are poppy seeds
Watching this video just made me realize again how spoiled we are in Austria. He really gets Austria, it's interesting to watch

You are very welcome to visit us again if you want. 😊
Mohnnudeln= noodles from potato dough with crashed poppy seed and icing sogar.
You've managed to translate the Austrian (especcially the Viennese!) lifestyle perfectly. Congratulations!
Greetings from Vienna.
Every person who doesn‘t live in Austria: They mean Australia, right?
I really appreciate the effort he makes pronouncing our language.
and btw "Mohn" is just poppy seeds.
and btw: really makes me proud hearing how much he appreciates our values.
i love his enthusiasm - such a positivity - Nothing in life is taken for granted

this is ASMR to my ears
Love your "outsiders perspective", haha. Made me rethink what we have over here. Greets from Linz! 😁✌
As an Austrian this made my day 🇦🇹☺️💕

I’m Austrian and I can fairly say “You got us man!” Thanks for those nice comments!
You're pronunciation of the German words is really good 👍 respect
Couldn’t tell it much better. Best regards from Braunau, Austria.
Except of the "Trachten" recommendation for tourists (I wouldn't wanna dress up like a cowboy when I visit the USA), he completely nailed it. Cheers from Vienna!

A typical "educated" American first asks: "who and where is Austria?"
The part about deep friendships:
It always irritates me when in US movies or tv shows, people seem to start to turn on each other so easily... that doesn't make any sense for me...

wiener schnitzel has to be calf, otherwise its a ripoff especially if its pork
St.Pölten - a great city if you want to be alone and chill in Austria
Mohn means Poppy
and Mohnnudeln are made with Poppyseeds and butter and sugar
Your observations is great. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You have seen through the soul of the Austrian.
