    I really enjoyed learning more about Germany with Nele! 🤗 And just want to add a bit about what I said about Sundays~ In my home state, Massachusetts some stores may be closed on Sundays. (But not all) There are strict liquor laws in Massachusetts so liquor stores are only allowed to be open for a shorter amount of time, or some stores may close completely on Sundays. These laws vary by state, so each is like their own country haha. Hope you enjoyed the video! 😊-Christina 🇺🇸

    The reason the shops are closed on sundays is not religious based. Sunday is not Sabbat and was never seen as such by the churches. In early times of industrialisation workers had to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week without a day off. It was the time when trade unions formed and became stronger. They fought for worker's rights. The sunday became a worker's rest day. Lateron the saturday was added for most industry branches. For the sunday is a day off for so long, it became a common missunderstanding that it was for religious reasons.

    Basically the birthday thing is you jinx it if you wish someone a happy birthday before they actually "achieved" that full year. So it's really sort of like a death jinx, because I mean they might die in that last hour before it's actually their birthday! So they never actually turned 21 or whatever! Died at 20! That's why it's such a bad thing.

    3:30 In South Carolina, at least into the 2000s, it was illegal for most businesses to be open before 1:30pm on Sundays, and even some that were open were strictly regulated on what they could and could not sell. I lived there in 2001-2003 and remember sections of Wal-Mart being roped off. About the only things they could sell were basic groceries, and ropes and barricades blocked off most of the store until 1:30pm. They figured that you should be in church until 1:30pm.

    0:30 Germans from the South have mostly darker hair (from brunette to black) than the northernmost ones. Natural blond Bavarians are rare - or descendants of immigrants from the North.
    4:00 It's religion based only in the sense that is the Sunday which is the rest day. It was made a law during the days of Prussion chancellor Bismarck as part of his social reforms (which were an attempt to quench the rise of the Social Democrat Party), and the law was a amendment of 1891 to the trade, commerce and industry regulations act. Later it became part of the Weimar constitution and was one of the few articles copied-and-pasted to the new West German constitution, the Basic Law. So the rest day is constitutional, and it is meant to be used for family time. Trucks are only allowed to drive at Sunday if they have a special permit.

    No one ends up in prison after a Nazi salute, otherwise, fortunately many neo-Nazis in Germany would be in jail. But you can end up in court and pay a fine, only if you repeatedly glorify Nazis and show the salute are you threatened with imprisonment. For example, there is an old woman who has been claiming for decades that the Holocaust did not happen, which is rightly absolutely forbidden in Germany. This woman was tried many times in court and sentenced to fines, only now has she ended up in prison. And as soon as she was in prison, the moaning started in the otherwise loud-mouthed New Nazi scene.

    Nah, that's not true. There's no law in Germany that prohibits to be nude in public. The worst thing that can happen is, that the Regulatory Office (the "small" police that is responsible for administrative offences not important enough for the real police) prompts you to leave the place or wants a small fine because someone feels disturbed.

This was because of “blue laws“ which prohibited businesses being open on Sundays. By the mid-1970s the blue laws were gone and things started to open on Sundays.

    German here and I have to correct sth. While there are these FKK / nude areas all over Germany, if you go to the East (the part that was the GDR until the reunification) being nude at the beach or lake is actually also common outside of those / there are less of those areas. It has to do with GDR culture I guess, it was not such a big of a deal back then.

      Yeah, it's very dependent on where you live in the US. When I lived in California, I never noticed many places closed besides some small ma & pa shops, but when I lived in Alabama so many places closed. Of course your big businesses like walmart, target etc. and all grocery stores were still open. I personally don't like Sundays being "rest" days, as the weekends are my time to catch up on things that need to be done that I usually have a hard time doing during the week. To each their own though.

      No. Some things are closed in the US on Sundays depending on where you live. Where I’m from in the South we have a lot of mom and pop stores and boutiques and almost all of them close on Sundays. Currently staying in the Midwest, I went walking around Downtown last Sunday and most everything not a chain was closed. Big Box stores tend to have shortened hours but locals tend to close. Liquor stores aren’t allowed to operate on Sundays in my state. CFA doesn’t open Sundays. Also any banks or government services will close on weekends.

      Youre all wrong. In §183.1 StGB it explicently says that you have to be a Man (for some reason that still seem to be the case) or §174 / §176 if you're a woman and doing it infront of children AND harm them by doing so. It seems like naked woman cant harras someone only man can. It is also very unlikely to get arrested for nudety because in modern jurisprudence § 183 "exhibitionistic action" almost only apply if your penis is erected (what should be hard to archieve for a woman anyway).
      Also, it's a classical conflict with our constitution. §8 GG (freedom of protest) is very important and allows allmost everything IF it's directly related to the topic of the protest. So if you protest naked for womansrights you're most likely covert, if you protest naked because you're pissed that the bakery closed to early on Sunday you're in trouble (edit.: maybe you're save because that clearly would be a sign that you're incapacitated) , if you're a woman without children in the area go for it no one cares. The Love parade was declared a protest for love so it was legal anyway. §8 GG rocks. Also woman so legal anyway
      So no it wasnt luck it was totally legal to do it (for HER).
      edit 2.: § 184 only apply to sexual acts so just standing there naked is no problem. If you start rubbing something you're in trouble.

    Here in the Philippines, even if we're a huge Catholic/Christian country, Sundays are very different because it's usually a day to go out and in my opinion, it's the loudest day of the week here. 🤣 We typically have Sunday markets where vendors would occupy a street every Sunday morning and the street would be filled with fresh produce. I remember going to Sunday markets in the town plaza after a Sunday mass back when I lived in the countryside. In the cities, city people automatically flock to the shopping centers, downtown areas, and parks after a Sunday mass to spend time with family. It's also a great day for buying groceries for the upcoming week or two. Here, Saturdays are typically for going out with friends, co-workers, Sundays are also rest days too but Filipinos generally reserve it as a day to spend time with God and the family so they tend to spend time together outside while wearing their finest "Sunday dress" as we call it here. hahah
