    If your teeth always hurt after chewing on something very sugary or sour, you probably just brush to harsh, us a brand of toothpaste that is not gentle enough or have a problem with the mineral shield of your teeth due to to much coffee, sweet drinks or grinding (maybe during the night).
    Try to see a dentist at least twice a year just to let them clean your teeth professionally. Let them also check the base of your teeth and your gums, because sometimes, your gums shrink after injury or due to softdrinks or coffee and leave the base of your teeth unprotected. This can cause pain and can be solved by treating the "pores" teeth have where the enamel is damaged or there was none to begin with (like at the base under the gum).
    Also use a toothpase that says "sensetive" on the package and maybe try out an ultrasonic toothbrush, they are good for people who tend to brush to hard. And maybe use elmex gelee once a week. This will protect your enamel and helps closing the pain causing open pores.
    If you grind your teeth, you can get a guard that is specially made to fit you teeth perfectly at the dentists. It will help reduce the stress on the enamel and also helpt with the pain in neck, jaw and head teeth-grinding can cause.
    I hope you will get better soon. I have issues with my teeth since I can remeber and it really comes down to 50% nature and 50% nuture, you only can do so much.

      You can find readymade food such as wraps and sandwiches within German supermarkets, albeit the selection is definitely a lot smaller than what I've seen in other countries. Some of the Rewe supermarkets have a fresh sushi counter and there are of course deli counters with meat, fish and cheese etc. but if you're after a freshly-made sandwich, your best bet is going to be an actual bakery.

    Uyen, if you want other parts of animals, especially those not sold in supermarkets (like bone cuts, etc.) go see a local butcher and ask them if they could sell you some (in some places of Germany they even sell those parts in bags as dog food, which is usually bones with scraps of meat on them, which are great as base for broth ;) ).

    Uyen, if you look for other parts of meat that are "unusual" in Germany, go directly to the butcher! At the "Metzger" they will usually have that stuff, and it's often rather cheap cause it's not so much used here! Try that rather than at the supermarket!

      Came here to say the same. Stuff like kidneys, liver, brain or intestines is usually not sold in supermarkets. But any good butcher (Metzger, Fleischer...) will sell you at least liver.
      And if you preorder, you can get almost any part you wish for. Especially if you find a butcher, who slaughters in house (as most smaller butchers buy their meats from the slaughter house - but they can still fulfill your preorders most of the time).

    I come from Czech Republic and spent 12 years in Germany. I always say that Germany has the best supermarkets. Compared to Czech Republic (and most other countries I've ever been to), German supermarkets have MUCH wider variety of products, these products are cheaper, there are more discounts and the quality of the groceries/the products is sooo much better. I always loved going grocery shopping in Germany and then when I came back to Czech Republic grocery shopping was always such a frustration. While in Germany, I would send a large box of groceries to my parents in Czech Republic about every 3 to 4 months because it was so much better and cheaper than the crap we have in Czech Republic. Germans have no idea what amazing supermarkets they have...oh and bakeries! Best bakeries in the world.

    And as a tip: if you have no coins for the Shopping cart, you can use special shopping-cart-coins from plastic/metal/wood that you can buy or get as merchandise gifts from different companies. Often the shops themselves have their own, just ask at the cashier at the cashpoint. You can keep the coin and use it again.

    This was a wonderful video! I have now lived 1/3 of my life in Asia, a 1/3 of my life in Europe and 1/3 in the US and I love noting the difference in everyday activities.
    I am currently in the states and it annoys me when people are so slow checking out, whereas in Europe and Asia, you bring your own bags so while they are scanning your groceries, you’re putting them the into your bags. In the states they just stand and look at their phone. Slow. Annoying.
    After living on the West Coast in San Francisco, I got to know our Napa Valley wines and if you think that is a lot of wine choices, you should visit California!
    You are right about the sweets. I grew up without cakes and cookies, but we had biscuits and less sugary sweets. And you’re making this video before the holiday season so when the marzipan gets mixed in with everything… Watch out sugar rush!
    The trolley system is also better there. Here in the states, we actually have Locking mechanisms that lock the shopping cart when it crosses the parking lot line. Yes, the parking lots. In downtown cities we walk to get our groceries but it is shocking by comparison customers feel the need to drive to get groceries. Of course a major difference is that in Europe and Asia. We shop every day for different items and in the states they drive their big suv to a big store and pile in bags and bags and bags.
    One final note, as I spent a great deal of my childhood in India, I was a custom to a phenomenal assortment of teas and Europe does get great teas. Here in US, we actually import PK and Twinnings, but it is harder to find the other brands. Chocolates?? Oh, yes, Milka and Kinder and most others can be found in the US small markets if you know where to look.
    Fun trivia… When I was a child, I thought that Haribo was a Japanese brand because it sounds… Japanese. But Haribo is German, and it was named after the Inventure’s three children, using the first two letters of their names! Hence the Japanese sounding German name!?

      The name Haribo does indeed have an origin that is based on the founder, but in a different way: It's short for "Hans Riegel Bonn". Hans Riegel is the founder's name and Bonn is the city it originated. I totally understand it is easy to mix stuff like that up, I myself can say I mainly know it because i study in Bonn xD

    Part 2 Please!! I want to know what you think about the household, and soaps and all the other things! Also, dairy! And you missed the most popular food in Germany that they eat for every single meal.... BREAD ! LOL
