  • Editing and uploading this video after I have returned home is very bittersweet. But it also reminds me of how wonderful my time in Germany was and I'm glad I documented these moments to share with my future self who will binge watch these UA-cam videos one day along with random people on the internet who may stumble upon this video lol

    I got this video recommended in my feed. I dont usually watch vlogs at all but I thought I'd tune in for a bit. To my big surprise you went to the town and school I was in 😂 I also went to the super market you showed after the 6th school hour. We used to have a big break between 12:55 and 13:45 but you could also get some food in the school canteen where lots of parents worked for free. I really appreciate this video ❤

    i love how non german people see germany. it’s just so funny what fascinates people about this country and it just seems so normal to me, but you also have so much luck to be in Stuttgart, it’s genuinely such a pretty city (:
    hope you had fun!🫶🏼

    Great to see you enjoyed being here. Btw, your german pronounciation is very good. Even lots of people will switch to english while talking to you, just go ahead speaking german. Once you will come here again for more travelling in Germany(its a must you have to do and see all the different regions, the different cultures and get more food experience) speaking german is a key opener everywhere and people will be more open to help and support you. CU Btw, Herzog a genuine german name. Are there german roots in your family ?

    i flew from Singapore to Auckland, New Zealand.....
    my local German airport is so much bigger as Auckland international...
    but my state (one of 16 German states) got over double the population of NZ...

      Be open to making mistakes in German!! You’ll do great :) it’s totally okay to be nervous but as long as you go into it and maintain an open mindset/perspective everything will fall into place
