As someone who moved to Germany from the United States in April of 2022 (and someone who enjoyed your video on the California Zephyr prior to leaving) I feel our paths are inexorably linked. It's an odd feeling to watch someone else going through the same sort of process at the same time and not know them personally. But it really draws me to your videos.
As someone who moved to Germany from Ireland with my girlfriend, i really enjoyed this video. I live in Düsseldorf now but used to live around Magdeburg and we visited Leipzig while we were there so i recognize a few places
I've been coming to Leipzig since '93, and I moved here from New York 19 years ago. What I Did For Love is my life's theme song. Gay culture seems to be in permanent hibernation in Leipzig - it's kind of like the Kansas City of Germany. Looking forward to returning to my beloved Heimat, Los Angeles, as soon as my husband retires, but we've got a few more years to go. Enjoyed your work very much.
Homosexuals were seen as a danger and unwanted in the DDR secret police forces (StaSi) "potentiel Staatszersetzend" ... the very real possibility of being watched by the stasi cloud end ur job and make ur live very hard ... the silent gay culture that grow out of that can still be felt .. also go at the Elster or the west city center and u'll find gays in 5s ^^
welcome in Leipzig. For me it's a really nice place to live. I moved here 9 years ago and love the town. Here is all I need, green and relaxing places, nice restaurants, really kind people and much more. Here also many places for swimming and hang out with friends, for shopping or have a deliceous dinner as well. I really love it here.
Very beautiful video! I've been living in Leipzig for almost 20 years and I think it's just great! What I particularly like is that you also included some of the GREAT buskers that are here in this video! However, I have a question: Do you know Nelu and Stefan, the two Romanian brothers who always play the accordion together in downtown Leipzig? Can you possibly make a video in which you can hear these?
i just moved to Leipzig 2 days ago from Spain. Well, i moved to Halle wich is like 35 mins away from Leipzig. So cool and now we just passed a heatwave ^^
Love your content Tom! It's been super helpful. We are heading to Leipzig in July/August and wondering if you have any recommendations for quieter, nature-connected neighborhoods with good transport links for accommodation? Any advice would be awesome! 🥰
it is but maybe i am biest as it is my home City cheeper than berlin less overloaded but a meltingpot too modernity meets history artsy as well but maybe stay away from the left radical place of town and Eisenbahnstraße XD but like every city has places to avoid
Lots of scenes in there reminding me of my own visit to Leipzig nearly three years ago. Wish I was there now! Looks like a really cool place to hang your hat for a while. What is the predominant local beer there? I just remember drinking a fair amount of Schwarzbier.
I'm debating between doing 90 days abroad in my second year of uni here or at Amsterdam. Tough choice, guess ill have to binge watch all your videos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why? Oh you need a bit explaining. Ok here is some. Why everyone came to germany and first lives ore visit there sees Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt and the east? Most of you misses so much in the south like Heidenheim, Freiburg, Ulm, Augsburg, Saarbrücken and so many other beutiful citys. Ok and some of you knows Stuttgart. One of the mos.... no the most uglyest City in the south. i live there and i was born there so i know what i say and after 2013 its horrable to live here.
9:24 Bundesliga in Leipzig.... realy..... Are you want to piss of every german Football fan? Becous now you did. Pleas next time go to Freiburg, Heidenheim (yes tey are first league this season), Augsburg, Union Berlin, Gladbach ore Leverkusen but Leipzig ? Never do that. Ok as a Freiburg fan i am more pissed of tham than others but everyone says that. Eaven go to lower leags like 4. League Stuttgarter Kickers ore 2. League Elversberg ore 3. League Saarbrücken ore eaven Magdeburg in League 2 ore Regensburg in league 3. So many great clubs but your going to leipzig -.- Only Bayern München would be worse
@@zenkstarr Oh! did you feel cool that yor an RB New York fan an be proud of it and all RB Clubs should be in high lvl xD So Typical American. The more commercial a product is, the better..... Thats why America is the first big Country to going down becous they shit on there society and everyone excapt politicians and Hollywood will become poor and dieing of comercial and high prices
Hey mate. I've just watched this all the way through and it's ANOTHER absolute cracker... I'm a musician/Videographer in the UK, and watching your videos sparked an idea in my head. I was wondering if you'd be up for letting me write all the music for your next travel video? I know its a bit odd ball, but I suddenly thought about how amazingly organic your videos/edits are, and if the music was totally talour made for the video and the trip how this would elevate this further! A thought... Let me know what you think! Have a good'n Alex
Please make more of these. It's such a pleasure to watch.
🥹
it's really weird watching a youtube video and knowing every place being shown ... it's like seeing your home with entirely new eyes
Especially true with colditz castle (like 35km southwest from Leipzig)

Much love to you 💚

Hope you enjoy it!
as someone who lives here since 22 years I can defitinly say it's great to enjoy Leipzig in silence
yyyeesssss new Tom Thornton vid = a good day

As someone who moved to Germany from Ireland with my girlfriend, i really enjoyed this video. I live in Düsseldorf now but used to live around Magdeburg and we visited Leipzig while we were there so i recognize a few places

Pre-Brexit, Mr. White. very lucky 🍀

Hey if you're ever in Brussels, hit me up and i'll take you to go see Union Saint-Gilloise at their stadium.
That sounds like fun, do they serve Pommes too?

I'm debating between doing 90 days abroad in my second year of uni here or at Amsterdam. Tough choice, guess ill have to binge watch all your videos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Have you ever considered moving to USA?
In a big way!
