I accidentally chopped a portion out of the video that wasn't meant to be chopped out A few people ask what Mike does/did for a living. Mike is self-employed in the USA and was self-employed in Germany (as a photographer)📸
It's funny, I have the feeling that Hayley would like to live in Germany, but job-related reasons have prevented that. Mike is more on the American side at the moment. I'm curious where that will lead.
Honestly i was like mike when i came to america, i was so in love with how nice everyone was and loved all the small talk. It took about 3 months, until i had some more serious issues to talk about, when i noticed HOW surface level everything is.😂 For example, in germany it was normal to talk about the war in ukraine as a small talk topic, you would say things like that you are worried and then each go your merry way... NOT possible in the US, serious topics are not talked about in this way. I had to pretend that there was something else on my mind.😅 Love the german directness.
If you lived in the US then you know a lot of people are unhinged, couple that with 400 million guns and of course people will keep things superficial. It’s very easy to tick people off and they go back to their car and get their gun and it’s a bad outcome. So yes, superficial is the easiest route unless you’ve known someone for a long time and you have deeper conversations
Mike admitted missing German bread! I know I loved it when I was there. Well, he will have it one day when he visits Germany. It's great having you both live here for now. I liked this video. 😊❤
So happy to see Mike again - I missed hearing from his side - which is not the German granteliger guy who misses the good bread and Würstl. For me it would be very interesting to hear about his work experience over there.
Habe mich die ganze Zeit gefragt, ob Du in den USA als Fotograf arbeiten kannst, obwohl sie Dich zuerst nicht wollten, Mike. Grüße und Dank, Michael aus Köln.
The mosquito part - perfectly done. We are swatting and waving at them as we try to sleep every night this week. And it's not even warm enough to go to the pool (our dorf has an outdoor pool!). I've put a standing fan in our bedroom in an attempt to keep the mosquitos from torturing us.
I can relate to what Mike said so much ^^ We went for a vacation in the US a couple weeks ago and both me and the kids are extremely reserves and introverted back home. We talked to more people (as in strangers) on our way from the airport to the hotel than in an entire year at home and it felt so refreshing and nice with all the friendly people everywhere. Honestly we didn't want to go home. I don't blame you for wanting to explore when you first made it there after years of trying to get there :)
I love how he found the one benefit of American sliding windows, that they don't take up space in the room. I've bruised myself quite a few times because I've misjudged where that huge window is/has moved to in the breeze. However German windows are unrivalled for ease of cleaning. I clean my windows often just cuz it's so convenient, like a crazy old German lady.
absolutely! my german partner immediately wanted to move to New Mexico upon visiting. he said it’s unlike anything he would ever expect when he thinks of the US
Thank you Mike for doing this. We finally get to see your personality! I agree about the windows although I have not lived in Germany. I've seen enough videos to know I would NOT like the way the windows are in Germany. Mike is right they take up space in the actual room. And I also love screens to keep out bugs & mosquitos. Come to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and you will find good sausages here at Usinger's and other places as well!
How cool that Mike engages with the friendly Americans and doesn't condescend them. Has Mike mastered returning items to the store? This is something that freaked my husband out, when I would return something simply cuz it didn't taste good. No receipt, no problem. The other day my meat from Aldi was rancid before the due date, and I did not return it for a refund because the process is so unpleasant.
That was a very good rundown of the window/ ac pros and cons. German windows are cool for opening so many ways but space! oh that's true. Also yes the mosquitos and noise are the tradeoff without AC, wow
@@karl-heinzbrohme5890 unsere haben eine Kurbel und gehen nach aussen auf 😁. Aber ja, wir hatten diese halben Fenster auch. Und zum Putzen sind die deutschen Fenster definitiv einfacher.
What does Mike do professionally? I think you two skipped over that question. Also I remembered when you first introduced Mike all those years ago and now look at you two! Happy and in America. Will you share your proposal, wedding story here on UA-cam? I see the rings!
Hayley, ich glaube, Colorado könnte dir tatsächlich gefallen! Mache doch mal Urlaub in Boulder oder Denver! Viel Natur und die Menschen wandern/laufen viel und fahren teils sogar Fahrrad! CO hat auch die meisten Sonnenstunden im Jahr....habe dort 3 Jahre gelebt, als Deutscher hält man es da ganz gut aus 😊
Bitte mehr Videos mit Mike, FAQ, wie genau hast du deine green card bekommen ? Lottery ? Anträge, magst du Cosco ? 1000 Fragen , nur das Beste für euch, grüße
Interesting learning more about you Mike, take in all the scenery that you can... I've never been to the US but what I've seen through photos, there's some beautiful nature just like here in Australia... ayres rock/Uluroo is beautiful, I have yet to see it but the photos of it are gorgeous...
Mike, Thanks for sharing part of your journey. It's so interesting to hear that paperwork is somewhat less than in DE, especially concerning your drivers license. Here in France It's much more difficult for an American to obtain a French drivers license. The "Hi, how are you" is a difficult one for me too. Especially when you go into a store. What's up with that?! Every time we go on vacation to the US I have to get used to it all over again. I also have to get used to traffic lights hanging over the intersection and not situated on the right hand side of the street. That's difficult and I have to pay extra attention the first days of driving. Why don't you go check out Denver, Colorado for a place to move. We visited this spring and I really liked the area. There a many nice neighborhoods with houses with these american style porches. Very quaint! Lots of city parks too. And then there are the Rockies. Und Streichwurst?! Ah nee, die kannst du behalten. Aber deutsches Brot? Oh ja! Das verstehe ich vollkommen. Das "Brot" in Amerika ist wirklich.....:) Viele liebe Grüsse aus Paris
Hello Hayley and Mike, what a funny video. I am from Germany and my wife is American. The first 10 years in the US was great, exploring the whole country, seeing every state. However, after some time it wears you out and especially that you cannot walk anywhere, that all is closed at 10PM, but the worst is that the kids and teenagers do not have a life to grow up. They are trapped in the house and need mom and pap to drive them around. It is actually a very sad country after a while.
Dude where did you live that your kids were trapped in the house? Were you living off the grid? You had no parks nearby? You’re kids weren’t invited to their friends house for play or sleepover? They weren’t involved in sports?
@@benzo___ I’m not defensive. You are the one that made your life sound sad that your kids are trapped in the house and don’t have a life. Those were your exact words. I don’t know you, but there are always things to do you just have to go sign up and do it. If your kids want to do an activity where they are busy all day Saturday it’s called band. Every American knows how serious those band guys and gals are lol
@@nicoles9077 I didn't even comment before so no I said none of these things not everybody has the time or money to drive their children everywhere so if you can't afford that your kid is in fact kind of stuck at home
You both are very entertaining! Love to see that! Your Denglish is wirklich herrlich! Looking forward to be in the States end of September, visiting my family (ausgewandert 1953) in Portland Oregon. By the way... a very nice place to live
Sehr unterhaltsam! Hab 3 Jahre in den USA gelebt. Mein Bruder besuchte mich, ohne daß ich ihn über Smalltalk aufgeklärt hab. Er ging in die Videothek ( ja, ewig her😅) und kam lange Zeit nicht zurück. Dann kam er. Ich : wo warst du denn so lange? Er: da fragte mich jemand wie es mir geht. Da hab ich ihm meine Lebensgeschichte erzählt 😂. An diese shallow Floskeln muss man sich erst gewöhnen.
You should visit Colorado! We have in colorado Springs a German store and there a various other European stores (Danish, Polish, Dutch etc.) you can get real German sausages here and we have real European bread. My wife is originally German but now American, I'm Dutch. We have the hills too :-).
Them rolling hills!! That's one thing i will miss and need when i return to the US from Germany. Tampa doesn't have any of that, so i might go for the Carolinas
The lack of Landjaeger. You can get very good Landjaeger at Emil's Soup Kitchen in Delray, If you really must have a pair or two. Same goes for other Bavarian sausage deli specialities.
@HayleyAlexis I’m American and I can relate with you about not wanting people to talk to you in public 😂. Mike for whatever reason seems to enjoy talking to strangers, more power to him.
I really DISLIKE IT....I dread it. I will wear my headphones everywhere in the hopes that people leave me alone... Maybe I am becoming a mean old grandma
@@HayleyAlexis I feel you! I dread having to talk to people in public, even if it’s someone I know 😂. Like I’m out and about for a reason, please leave me alone! I walked right by a guy that said hello to me without even saying anything back, didn’t know him so didn’t feel bad about ignoring him. 😂
One of the few things I missed when I was living in the US (20 years ago) was tap water that didn't taste and smell like coming directly out of a swimming pool. Has that gotten better?
I liked it absolutly, you both are so cute together. The german Hayley with the all american guy mike😂. Perfect match! And i would like to hear something about his work, and as well about Hayleys experience with her "Ausbildung" and her work.
Yes do a part 2 part 3.... both of you are interesting! and funny to boot....Haley I am going to agree with Mike.. you both should see different parts of USA....oh , yes I have a question do you guys want any pets in the near future like a dog ?
You guys are so funny! And Mike's 'what accent?' gets me every time 😆. So nice that he has permanent residency! Though only a straight, cis white man could find the dumpster fire funny...
Hi to you both! Mike, welcome to the US!...I don't know where you live in Florida but if you're anywhere near Cape Coral Fl...there is German bakery and Deli in that area. Sorry I don't know the name of either of them. Just google German deli in Cape Coral Fl. and some will come up. I've not been there but my parents have... they are German. I enjoy your channel very much!
@@HayleyAlexis I guess with zero workers rights, very few vacation days you don't dare to take and at-will-employment, going anywhere could prove difficult ;)
It makes me sad that you prefer Germany to Florida, and makes me really wonder what Florida is like. Of course mountains are always preferrable to no mountains: ) My question for Mike would be what is your favorite casual restaurant, and what is your favorite fancy place to eat out/or have delivered in America. Last time we were there, we ate Mexican so often we couldn't eat it anymore. That was a lotta Mexican!
Hey Hayley, thanks for the interesting video. I just wanted to share my experience about the US after living in Germany for 8 years. Wasserhahn in der Badewanne I also did not like that it is installed to the wall. Another thing, when people asked me hi, how are you I also answered like Mike, I am good and how about you and I also didn’t get any answer 😂😂😂.
After being asked several times where I came from, I asked back: “What do you think?” The answers were sometimes really interesting. It went from China to Russia to Europe. Germany usually didn't come at the very beginning. :D
I think Mike would really enjoy Pennsylvania which has a heavy German culture. Especially check out the Pennsylvania Duesch , (Dutch). There are even mountains there. Just don't go to Philadelphia. It's a very rough city. Pittsburgh would be nicer. But there is a German vibe in-between the cities.
6:07 well you live in Florida.... i came to the US and lived in NJ initially; and if i failed my DL test, i had to wait a whole month at least for the next try..... 12:55 😁😁😄😄 thanks for showing us Mike's funny side too!
How do you experience the political climate and geschpräche about the current situation on the street or can you say that in europe the discussion is bigger than the local situation?
That was fun! I could relate as I moved to the US in 1981 to live with my American husband. Mike's reactions mirrored mine in some respects. The green card was easy though, maybe because we still lived in Germany then, it was just a visit with the consul and that was it (maybe I forgot, who knows). And then I did not become an American citizen because I did not want to lose my German citizenship. That German rule was just changed recently and I finally became an American citizen. Mike thinks that everyone is really friendly, and while true, it is different in Germany where people generally mean what they say, and are honest. In the United States, it is not polite to be honest, so as a German person I never know what people really are thinking. That's difficult for me. I know it, but I don't like it. (Grammarly just suggested changing the previous sentence! to "I know it, but I wouldn't say I like it" Aarghhhh! They call it diplomatic, and I call it hypocritical. Case in point!) Yeah, so 45 years of living in the US have not turned me into a "diplomatic" American. Thank you for this video, made my heart content!
@@HayleyAlexis moin! Vielleicht sieht Mike manche Dinge auch strahlender als du, weil du dort ja aufgewachsen bist. Oder wie man im deutschen sagt: er hat noch nicht am Lack gekratzt! War jedenfalls äußerst amüsant, wie immer! Euch beide zuzuhören ist immer sehr schön, könnt euch knutschen! Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg, Ben❤😊
Y're both such a FUNtastic couple and fun to watch. *ThumbsUp*👍& *HandClap*👏Ihr neckt euch wie ein "altes Ehepaar". 🥰 (Falls du das in falschen Hals kriegst Hayley, das is n Sprichwort - ähnlich zum "Was sich liebt, das neckt sich".)

Maybe you can find a German market near enough to drive to. They might have some of the foods you’re missing.
You should visit Colorado! We have in colorado Springs a German store and there a various other European stores (Danish, Polish, Dutch etc.) you can get real German sausages here and we have real European bread. My wife is originally German but now American, I'm Dutch. We have the hills too :-).
I agree. The German store in Colorado Springs is called Wimberger‘s. Highly recommend.
I think 🧐 Mike is right. Many years ago, I heard from another German person mention that American bread 🥖 does not look like real bread.

Thank you Hayley for sharing your videos and life w/ us. Mike, why wouldn’t you like to return to Germany? I think it’s beautiful there.
After being asked several times where I came from, I asked back: “What do you think?” The answers were sometimes really interesting. It went from China to Russia to Europe. Germany usually didn't come at the very beginning. :D
I think Mike would really enjoy Pennsylvania which has a heavy German culture. Especially check out the Pennsylvania Duesch , (Dutch). There are even mountains there. Just don't go to Philadelphia. It's a very rough city. Pittsburgh would be nicer. But there is a German vibe in-between the cities.
6:07 well you live in Florida.... i came to the US and lived in NJ initially; and if i failed my DL test, i had to wait a whole month at least for the next try.....
12:55 😁😁😄😄 thanks for showing us Mike's funny side too!
How do you experience the political climate and geschpräche about the current situation on the street or can you say that in europe the discussion is bigger than the local situation?
That was fun! I could relate as I moved to the US in 1981 to live with my American husband. Mike's reactions mirrored mine in some respects. The green card was easy though, maybe because we still lived in Germany then, it was just a visit with the consul and that was it (maybe I forgot, who knows). And then I did not become an American citizen because I did not want to lose my German citizenship. That German rule was just changed recently and I finally became an American citizen. Mike thinks that everyone is really friendly, and while true, it is different in Germany where people generally mean what they say, and are honest. In the United States, it is not polite to be honest, so as a German person I never know what people really are thinking. That's difficult for me. I know it, but I don't like it. (Grammarly just suggested changing the previous sentence! to "I know it, but I wouldn't say I like it" Aarghhhh! They call it diplomatic, and I call it hypocritical. Case in point!) Yeah, so 45 years of living in the US have not turned me into a "diplomatic" American. Thank you for this video, made my heart content!
Sehr interessant!
🇺🇸🇩🇪Lots of love from heart to heart ✨💖💞💖✨🇩🇪🇺🇸
At this point, Mike is more American than Hayley.
Forever!!!
@@HayleyAlexis moin! Vielleicht sieht Mike manche Dinge auch strahlender als du, weil du dort ja aufgewachsen bist. Oder wie man im deutschen sagt: er hat noch nicht am Lack gekratzt! War jedenfalls äußerst amüsant, wie immer! Euch beide zuzuhören ist immer sehr schön, könnt euch knutschen! Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg, Ben❤😊
My Koffer was weg 💝💞💖💕🤣
Y're both such a FUNtastic couple and fun to watch. *ThumbsUp*👍& *HandClap*👏Ihr neckt euch wie ein "altes Ehepaar". 🥰 (Falls du das in falschen Hals kriegst Hayley, das is n Sprichwort - ähnlich zum "Was sich liebt, das neckt sich".)
Did you two get married? ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi there. Really nice video. Do you still have to pay/file taxes in Germany while you are in the US?
It is hilarious that Hayley is more German and Mike more American.
OMG... so do German windows not have window screens?
Some do but not all of them!!
Mike for president!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 excuse me Mike with the personal Starbucks attacks!!!!!!!!! That was hilarious
HE IS ALWAYS EXPOSING ME!!! 🤣😅
Come to California and visit the San Francisco area
How was Mike able to apply for a greencard? I heard they are pretty hard to get. I wish he could go more into the details of this entire process 😊
