Wow, my first time on your channel. You are very good, so smooth and using such good English! I would be saying "you know a few times". I am a German living in San Francisco.
As a native German I adore every foreigner who moved over forever, and you American one are very Special because you have the most complicated election system ever for an only bipartisan system
If I am stranded on I vegetarian planet, I directly start studying rocket science. Not so big on meat :-) ??? By the way: my favourite vacation countries are South Africa and Namibia. Besides other reasons... guess way! Greetings form Cologne
"per capita" is a tricky measurement for developing countries due to inequality. A comparison within the same social class would have been more valauble. SA is well known for braai for a reason.
Thanks for your view on Germany. I really appreciate people from other countries telling us what we do right and also where we have to become better. Stay so positive and enjoy life.
Inspiring, I am an Asian living in Germany since 25 years now and it changed me alot and I guess I should be doing some reflections about my life in terms of positive changes and write them down.
As a South African living in Germany for 10 yrs, I appreciate the fact that you are not able to see a gap between the rich and the poor. For example one can be unemployed on the Govt system, but living in the same block of flats as an Engineer or doctor. We have nudist beaches in SA too, Sandy Bay, Cape Town, Lighthouse Beach, Port Alfred, Umhlanga Lagoon, Durban, Secrets Beach, Port Elizabeth. Sadly these places are only accessed by the wealthy. Also about dogs, and everyone minding their own business it's also normal in suburbs like where I live in Constantia, Cape Town we even have biking roads, something you won't see in the townships. I never needed to join a gym in Cape town because I could jog and walk at the beach early in the morning, but in Joburg I had to because of safety.
First and most important… what a beautiful and contagious smile! About a lot of things you said I totally agree. We don’t like to judge or to be judged. So I think especially the younger generations have a mindset like: As long as you don’t hurt other people with your actions or words, feel free to be and act however you want and let me do the same :D And thanks for changing your eating behaviour and being open to new thoughts about environmental issues and conclusions!! Wish you all the best for your future in Germany!
Well its easy is society and the socio- political environment allows it. In Germany education is free whereas in SA you are looking at about €50 000 or more from Kindergated to Varsity taking a job that pays less after that feel like an insult. Also bear in mind working parents can build a financial nest which they get as child grants from the government regardless of their financial status. just imagine if parents save €2520 (which they receive from the govt p.a) for 19 years until the child finish their education, they have they have almost a R100 000 in SA terms to start their lives. I South Africa start with that amount as student debt like in the US. Great video though keep them coming.
i´m actually half south african and half german, i was born and raised in cape town and then moved to germany when i was 10, i´ve been living here for years now, it was so fun and interesting to get to know my german side and its culture, i really love germany but i also miss south africa at the same time, i could already speak german when i moved to germany since i was raised bilingual, but i´m learning spanish now lol, i can speak 30% africaans, but my dad can speak more africaans than me and his german lol.
Where was this video when I just moved to Germany beginning of 2018? I'm so happy UA-cam recommended this! It's not often I find videos from a fellow South African who has moved to Germany! Love it here! So relatable, even though I'm in Brandenburg, not Bavaria. :) Edit: Except I really miss the meat from South Africa. But, here, I do eat much less meat.
I love watching these videos of how Germany has changed people...it's changed me as well...I feel like it has changed me to be an open minded person. Now I see Americans as closed minded people compared to Europeans
We here in Germany are not at least open minded because of theAmericans aswell. We have learned something from the kind and open minded Americans . Greetings from Berlin
You've got a truly lovely voice which makes it a real pleasure to listen to. However, besides the pure pleasure of listening, the best part of your video is your content. I just sent the link to my (German) cousin who happened to marry a South-African a short while back who now just moved to Germany. The chap is still struggling a bit with the adaptation process and I guess, he'll find the insights of a countrywoman helpful.
I am from Nigeria, I had a similar experience with the dog thing, I was always terrified by dogs in Nigeria. But here in Germany, they are so friendly and well behaved. I remember I had to google why dogs are so well behaved here in Germany.
Hi, usually I don't watch UA-cams like yours, but music tubes mainly. I just stumbled about the title of your tube and it made a bit curious what you will have to say, because my wifi is also an African woman, from Central Africa though. First of all I appreciate your way of presenting your experiences in your environment and it made me smile that you obviously landed very well in a round people that makes your life happy. Not everyone from Africa has this luck too but you appreciates everything around your new way of living your life which made me write this comment right now. The make of your video is very nice, the way you talk so fluently and honest with a very clear pronounciation is a refreshing delightment. Just wanted to tell in other words: Welcome, and happy that you share your experiences from your point of view 👍
You are so right about the Sunday thing, I didn't understand it in the beginning because everything is open in SA on a Sunday but now I love it. Germany has taught me to appreciate and value the little things in life. I like how open minded and positive you are, it makes adapting to a new country a lot easier. Stay safe and healthy.
Schön, dass Du hier bist und Dich wohlfühlst :-) I just love your attitude and positivity! And yes, I just became a subscriber, looking forward to watching lots of more videos to come in the future....
I'm living for 33 years now in this beautiful country of yours, immigrated from Bavaria, living since 6 years in Polokwane Seshego. Worked in 46 counties worldwide, but settled in SA. I'm antiracist, but it's getting slowly uncomfortable for mlungus. Refreshing to see young people from here getting world open and interested in other cultures. Mach weiter so, Mädel Gruß an Deutschland Manfred
Glad to hear you like being in Germany and are enjoying your life 😊 Thank you for your perspective, it's always interesting to hear about our life and culture from someo6who didn't grow up here.
Many thanks for sharing these views Tebogo. I really enjoyed your video and can relate and agree to all the points you make. I am also a South African who moved over to Germany a few years ago. Some experiences are not so obvious and take time to learn, realise and appreciate.
I saw a lovely signboard at a fence saying: "Don't mind the dog! Beware of my wife! She can get really mean!" :o) Thank you for you kind view on us! I hope you will always have kind Germans around you! We also have right winged a**holes, but normally there are others who won't tolerate nasty behaviour and stand by your side.
Really enjoyed your video. Yes minding your own business really frees one up to concentrate on your own happiness. I love to see fellow South African people prosper. Enjoy your day.
You’re like me when it comes to beer - not liking beer but enjoying Radler once in a while. I never lived in Bavaria but come from Stuttgart and now live in Berlin
Thanks for being so open and honest about your views on Germany and the Germans.... your very sweet. Although I am not sure all of your experiences are typical it's still very entertaining to listen and learn about cultural differences!

Hello 👋 I'm an American living in Germany for 7 years with my German hubby. We do like it here, but we miss living in southeast Asia. Warm friendly people & weather.
I love that photograph of you on the bridge at the "Englischer Garten". I actually live near Munich Airport - and due to the rural character there are still many watchdogs ... but other dogs also. And it's really all kinds and races. Your video makes me miss Munich a lot but I dare not going there at this point of the pandemic.
Just found your video. No matter how long you have been here, welcome to Germany. I wish you and your husband the best for your future. Together we'll get through this pandemic and return to normal life.
This video has just changed my world! ✨✨✨ The minding ones own business is such a vibe 👌🏾💃🏾 The judgemental attitude is just sooooo frustrating. I am glad to have found you spoke about this (with examples) because people in my country are also like South Africans.
Ha i knew it before u say Radler :) when i was in Sofia Bulgaria i show the guys in the bar what a radler is and then the girls starting drinking beer in this bar :)
What a gorgeous lady you are!!! I needed your video. My husband is from a different culture. I have heard negative comments (even from one of my family members) about us because we are interracial couple. After watching your video, I really want to move to Germany. Thanks for sharing your experiences!!!
Glad to have found you by coincidence. I just love your positive attitude which many Germans do not have. I lived in different countries and always had an open mind and positive approach. Welcome to our country. Please do travel when the situation permits. There is a lot to see and experience.
It am glad that you like it in Germany. As a German you Sometimes Just hear and see the bad Things, to see the own country and society from different eyes is very refreshing and sometimes helpful to apreciate some Things in a new light. South Africa is a beautiful country, I was there over twenty years ago,as a Teenager, for four months... I needed 6 years to get over my homesickness😄 I didnt feel at Home in Germany for years And I saw what you mean because of the dogs. First I didnt understand why people were so afraid of Dogs... I was Young, I Loved dogs so I cuddled even the guard dogs at the farms...they tolerated, enjoyed it, but I think it was because it was broad daylight, the owners were around and I was Just happy to see dogs... Otherwise it would be a different Story. I remember the Times in Germany who each little House or Farm in the countryside had their guarddogs...it was never fun when they got loose
@@laurap239 Cellphone, German language, Automatic Error correction🙈 It drives me crazy to correct the correction for nearly each single word and at one Point I just give up Some. Damn
when I see such a video, I first learn to appreciate our peace and prosperity, and that it is not normal that you can go anywhere with your family in any country at any time. Greetings from Munic ❤️
Former East Germans have a more negative relationship with dogs as they are associated with the Communist state police patrols. For instance, Angela Merkel is known to be afraid of them - she grew up there.
Tor liver Wilhelmsen ,where did you get this nonsense from? I am East German, 52 years old. Just like in West Germany, the police and rescue units in the GDR had dog squadrons. Dogs would be used at the border, and so would the secret state police ... As a normal citizen, however, you rarely came into contact with it. We too kept dogs as pets and loyal friends. According to the cliché, my grandma had a dachshund named Lumpi and two German shepherd dogs named Heik and Hasso. ;)
@@TorIverWilhelmsen , Yes, of course you can talk yourself out of it if you are afraid of dogs. ;) I don't think that's a special east / west thing. I am sure there are many people in the West who are afraid of dogs. I think it's because of whether you are afraid of dogs, whether you grew up with dogs from an early age or not. As I said, one was relatively seldom embarrassed to meet these specially trained dogs in the GDR. I can tell you an anecdote about the only time I made the acquaintance of such a police dog at the age of 16 and a couple of friends of the same age. We were standing in a group of about 30 young people ... and yes we were pretty loud too. Two policemen with a police dog wanted to expel us. With the dog it should look powerful and authoritarian ... I don't know. One of our group went up to the dog and talked to him: "What a good dog", "Such a dear one" and so on ... not long and the dog lay on his back and showed his belly to be stroked. They blushed with shame and then walked away. ;D I still laugh when I think about it today...... Ok, I admit that not all GDR citizens have met such a nice police dog, but for an order to bite you had to have done more than disturbing the nightly peace with a few friends. But wasn't that also the case in the West?
From watching these videos, I can tell that you have changed for the better honestly, I'm so happy for you and proud of the woman you are continuously becoming. OMG I still envy your spirituality, one day I'll get there. 💕💕💕
You really sad some great words towards the end. And I think it's your open mind and super positivity that you have mostly good experiences here, like a mirror, be good and it comes back to you! Welcome here in Germany, I'm little jealous of your husband, if I'm allowed to say that ;=)
Just based on your first point I would assume that you live in the city (where most people live in apartments) . I live in Germany too but on the country side. In villages people also use dogs for security purposes and have signs on their gates 'be aware of dogs' especially when they have yards.
Nice Video. You re allready married? What a glad man. I'm allways late. No, just jokin, enjoy your live. Greetings from Berlin, our kind of humor is a bit speciall.
12:04 oh ye i had a wrong job and i just switched, in a age of 26, from a industry job into study software engineering in university :D so i will be 30 finishing study
@@tebogop8818 thank you very mutch :) its a little bit pressure but its a whole other thing to have pressure in something you love to do. So its more "brearable". And all the best to you too.
UA-cam recommended this video to me after I watched James Bray. He's a black american interested in our country, maybe you know his videos. He's a great guy. We can use more black people in our country, makes it more colorful. Glad to hear you're enjoying your time here in Germany. Subscribed to your channel.
Your presentation of various value differences between SA and Germany is spot on. In fact the value system between english speaking countries and Germany is just like you describe. Having Sunday as a rest day and not just chase after money is good for the heart. Being able to enjoy nature and not having to worry to be assaulted is huge. Not looking down on someone who does manual labour instead of white color unemployed is good for society and makes everybody feel valued. Are far as dogs are concerned. Generally dogs owned in southern Africa by one group of people are normally well behaved but extremely racist, and the ones owned by the other group of people are generally treated as muts and roam the streets for foot and quick multipliers.
Super interesting! As for “dogs owned by one group of people are normally well behaved but extremely racist” now that’s South Africa 🙆🏿♀️ a sad reality. Something I didn’t want to mention in the video because it’s just one of those topics that offends a lot of people. I like your honesty, thanks for watching.
Hey you and youre video is so so great! You are a wonderful women and we in Germany love it to have people like you are❤️🥰 Im so so happy because you are here in Germany. Thanks for that video and enjoy your life here. You are very welcome!! 🥰 ps. my best frind (also a women) is coming from johannesburg and she married a man here like you. She told me exactly the same Things like you ☺️... We love people like you. Have a great time!!❤️
In Spain we call beer with fizzy lemonade "rubia" (blonde) or shandy (which is actually a brand). It's a very popular summer drink. Thanks, because now I know how to ask for it in Germany! :-)
I am a original german and i dont like beer or wine either. But i love Radler. Maybe you like to try Cider. I think you have to try different brands 'caus they taste all a little bit different. Some taste fruity, some more dry and tangy. And i would recomment to try Hugo. Its prosecco with elderflower cordial sometimes mixed with sparkling water. Yummy
what you describe is basically the difference between living in an unsafe environment and a safe one. Germans don't need dogs to protect them , they don't fear public transport, and usually have functional families. SA is such a beautiful country, I sincerely hope public security there can improve
Hey guys :) !
I haven’t done a sit down video in about 3 months !!! I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🌸🥰

according to official statistics Germany is in the top 15 of meat consumers per capita^^ Far ahead of SA
"per capita" is a tricky measurement for developing countries due to inequality. A comparison within the same social class would have been more valauble. SA is well known for braai for a reason.
Sounds like just another reason to visit South Africa anytime soon...

As a German you Sometimes Just hear and see the bad Things, to see the own country and society from different eyes is very refreshing and sometimes helpful to apreciate some Things in a new light.
South Africa is a beautiful country, I was there over twenty years ago,as a Teenager, for four months... I needed 6 years to get over my homesickness😄
I didnt feel at Home in Germany for years
And I saw what you mean because of the dogs. First I didnt understand why people were so afraid of Dogs... I was Young, I Loved dogs so I cuddled even the guard dogs at the farms...they tolerated, enjoyed it, but I think it was because it was broad daylight, the owners were around and I was Just happy to see dogs... Otherwise it would be a different Story. I remember the Times in Germany who each little House or Farm in the countryside had their guarddogs...it was never fun when they got loose
Thank you, I’m glad you also like my beautiful country 😊! This was beautiful to read, thanks for watching.
I love how you put capitals on the nouns - takes me back to my German studies

Cellphone, German language, Automatic Error correction🙈
It drives me crazy to correct the correction for nearly each single word and at one Point I just give up
Some.
Damn
Good video and charming lady. She will in time become even more in love with Germany.
Thank you. I believe so too 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience :)
It’s a pleasure and thanks for watching :)
when I see such a video, I first learn to appreciate our peace and prosperity, and that it is not normal that you can go anywhere with your family in any country at any time. Greetings from Munic ❤️
That’s nice. Greetings from Greece.
Sunday is the day of the LORD, relaxing day for all.
Absolutely 💯
Interesting :-) in former times Dogs here also were used as watchdogs.
Most interesting are your insights of Bavaria :-)
Good to know, thanks for watching 😊
Former East Germans have a more negative relationship with dogs as they are associated with the Communist state police patrols. For instance, Angela Merkel is known to be afraid of them - she grew up there.
Tor liver Wilhelmsen ,where did you get this nonsense from?
I am East German, 52 years old.
Just like in West Germany, the police and rescue units in the GDR had dog squadrons.
Dogs would be used at the border, and so would the secret state police ...
As a normal citizen, however, you rarely came into contact with it.
We too kept dogs as pets and loyal friends.
According to the cliché, my grandma had a dachshund named Lumpi and two German shepherd dogs named Heik and Hasso. ;)
@@andreamuller9009 I have it from statements from my sister-in-law and her parents growing up there.
@@TorIverWilhelmsen ,
Yes, of course you can talk yourself out of it if you are afraid of dogs. ;)
I don't think that's a special east / west thing.
I am sure there are many people in the West who are afraid of dogs.
I think it's because of whether you are afraid of dogs, whether you grew up with dogs from an early age or not.
As I said, one was relatively seldom embarrassed to meet these specially trained dogs in the GDR.
I can tell you an anecdote about the only time I made the acquaintance of such a police dog at the age of 16 and a couple of friends of the same age.
We were standing in a group of about 30 young people ... and yes we were pretty loud too.
Two policemen with a police dog wanted to expel us.
With the dog it should look powerful and authoritarian ... I don't know.
One of our group went up to the dog and talked to him: "What a good dog", "Such a dear one" and so on ...
not long and the dog lay on his back and showed his belly to be stroked.
They blushed with shame and then walked away. ;D
I still laugh when I think about it today......
Ok, I admit that not all GDR citizens have met such a nice police dog,
but for an order to bite you had to have done more than disturbing the nightly peace with a few friends.
But wasn't that also the case in the West?
From watching these videos, I can tell that you have changed for the better honestly, I'm so happy for you and proud of the woman you are continuously becoming. OMG I still envy your spirituality, one day I'll get there. 💕💕💕
How beautiful 🥰, thanks Nhlanhla 💕
@@tebogop8818 💕
Omg, you are such a beautiful lady! :)
Thank you :)
I'm always happy to see foreigners who are enjoying our culture and our country ☺️ but I still want to visit South Africa some day
Schön, I’m always happy when people show interest in my country. It’s amazingly beautiful and you should visit 😊
Nice to have you as a neighbour, even while I'm from the upper north oft germany...
Danke Nachbar.
If you smile no one can be angry and the world will be heaven
I love your positive Video
Thank you, thanks for watching.
You really sad some great words towards the end. And I think it's your open mind and super positivity that you have mostly good experiences here, like a mirror, be good and it comes back to you!
Welcome here in Germany, I'm little jealous of your husband, if I'm allowed to say that ;=)
Profound words, thanks.
Keep enjoying living here in Munich :)
I hope so too :)
Just based on your first point I would assume that you live in the city (where most people live in apartments) . I live in Germany too but on the country side. In villages people also use dogs for security purposes and have signs on their gates 'be aware of dogs' especially when they have yards.
Interesting, I’ve been to a few German villages and have never came across that.
Hey. Nice video. I'm also a South African living in Germany.
Thank you! Where in Germany?
Tubingen
Nice Video. You re allready married? What a glad man. I'm allways late. No, just jokin, enjoy your live. Greetings from Berlin, our kind of humor is a bit speciall.
12:04 oh ye i had a wrong job and i just switched, in a age of 26, from a industry job into study software engineering in university :D so i will be 30 finishing study
No pressure & all the best 👏🏿
@@tebogop8818 thank you very mutch :) its a little bit pressure but its a whole other thing to have pressure in something you love to do. So its more "brearable". And all the best to you too.
@@Tofos94 absolutely ! Thank you.
Viel Glück und Spaß beim studieren!
You look like a happy person. Good to see 😄👍
I think I am 😊 thank you!
I'm happy people are putting the stereotypes aside and visit germany :)
So... I am basically the one who kick started your passion for Aperol Spritz? Almost makes me a bit proud! ;)
😂 yes I was talking about you!
good job Tebogo
Thank you.
You always do need your Einkaufstasche.
Yes, or your Plastik Box, die am aufklappen kann
Get to know a very interesting inside view of German everyday life from a new perspective! Tebago, kan jy ook Afrikaans praat?
Ja ek kan :)
radler (in southgermany) or alster (in northgermany) is a mix of beer and lemonade, most 50:50, but you can do it, as you like it
We call it Panaché in Switzerland
Thank you love ❤❤❤.
wonderful - big hug
I enjoy every bit of this video thank you girl for sharing this with us! By the way you are so gorgeous, am glad to find your channel 😍
Thank you 😊
I heard that in South Afrika there is an awesome Streetfood culture. Perhaps you could recommend some thing?
Absolutely! I like Neighborgoods (favorite), Maboneng and Fourways Farmer’s market.
You are very welcome in Germany.
Danke.
UA-cam recommended this video to me after I watched James Bray. He's a black american interested in our country, maybe you know his videos. He's a great guy.
We can use more black people in our country, makes it more colorful. Glad to hear you're enjoying your time here in Germany. Subscribed to your channel.
I don’t know him but I’ll check him out. You are so open minded, don’t change! Thank you and welcome new subscriber.
This is so true. I believe Germany changed me too. 😍
# I am South african ❤️
I’m glad you relate 🇿🇦🥰
Yoo that's hectic but normal and good.
Nice video girl,yea true about dogs, I was afraid of dogs too but now I loveeee them😌
Aren’t they just cute?! ☺️ thank you
Lovely video. Welcome!
Thank you so much 🥰
Your presentation of various value differences between SA and Germany is spot on. In fact the value system between english speaking countries and Germany is just like you describe. Having Sunday as a rest day and not just chase after money is good for the heart. Being able to enjoy nature and not having to worry to be assaulted is huge. Not looking down on someone who does manual labour instead of white color unemployed is good for society and makes everybody feel valued. Are far as dogs are concerned. Generally dogs owned in southern Africa by one group of people are normally well behaved but extremely racist, and the ones owned by the other group of people are generally treated as muts and roam the streets for foot and quick multipliers.
Super interesting! As for “dogs owned by one group of people are normally well behaved but extremely racist” now that’s South Africa 🙆🏿♀️ a sad reality. Something I didn’t want to mention in the video because it’s just one of those topics that offends a lot of people. I like your honesty, thanks for watching.
Hey you and youre video is so so great! You are a wonderful women and we in Germany love it to have people like you are❤️🥰 Im so so happy because you are here in Germany. Thanks for that video and enjoy your life here. You are very welcome!! 🥰 ps. my best frind (also a women) is coming from johannesburg and she married a man here like you. She told me exactly the same Things like you ☺️... We love people like you. Have a great time!!❤️
So kind, thank you.
the earrings are so good!!!
Thank you 😊
Das freut mich zu hören 😃
Puuuh, so ein ausgeglichener und in sich ruhender Mensch. Gut zu haben, gut mit zu leben.
Danke.
Wonderful to hear the Dog Item!!!
In Spain we call beer with fizzy lemonade "rubia" (blonde) or shandy (which is actually a brand). It's a very popular summer drink. Thanks, because now I know how to ask for it in Germany! :-)
Hola 🇪🇸! Good to know, thanks for watching.
I lived in Cape Town for year :) Howzit!
Awesome 🇿🇦! I hope you enjoyed living there.
@@tebogop8818 For sure :) still missing it...
I am a original german and i dont like beer or wine either. But i love Radler. Maybe you like to try Cider. I think you have to try different brands 'caus they taste all a little bit different. Some taste fruity, some more dry and tangy. And i would recomment to try Hugo. Its prosecco with elderflower cordial sometimes mixed with sparkling water. Yummy
Hi Radler fan 🍻! Thanks I’ll try Hugo in Spring.
what you describe is basically the difference between living in an unsafe environment and a safe one. Germans don't need dogs to protect them , they don't fear public transport, and usually have functional families. SA is such a beautiful country, I sincerely hope public security there can improve
