    Hello mate - I hope you understand that many of us watch this channel not just because we are interested in Germany and all its quirks, but because we like you too and enjoy hearing your thoughts. Some of my favourite videos of yours are ones where are just at home explaining something about Germany that hasn’t passed into English language media. You are talented at explaining nuances and context, and I appreciate that. I’m a 38 year old Australian, on the other side of the world, but you often remind me of myself, especially your championing of public transport. I shall have to live vicariously through you until I can make it back to Europe, hopefully sooner rather than later 😉

    Small correction: As the tagesschau reported on Dec 21, Stendal will recognize the Deutschlandticket at least until end of April 2024. There were 30 votes in favor, four against and nine abstentions in the Kreistag. Looks like it could be longer than April, but on the other hand, there seem to be elections scheduled for June.
    Fun moment in this video: 2:07 "Unfortunately it has been raining pretty much non-stop since about" [looks at watch] "October."
    I'm looking forward to your new travel videos, I always enjoyed them. Please carry on the good work.

    I liked the idea of the fixed camera on the green meadow while the year passed so very much. Simple but nice.
    Also, I think part of the charm of your channel is that there is nothing sensational about it.
    You go visit places like anyone could do or you sit at your desk talking about news. Simple can be good.
    My wish for your channel is to keep up the already good job. Improvements will be, of course appreciated, but the existing channel is nice already.

    Clive, I don't know if you're a conspiracy theorist or something, but I've met the guy and he's a harmless nutcase. He couldn't conspire to save his life. Berlin, Germany, 1989, the day the Wall came down, he barged into me, apologised, grinned and said, "Oh, it's you again. Fancy bumping into you like this." The he was off again, and I lost him in the crowd. I saw him again in Wolverhampton in 1991: same hair, same ears, same jacket. So I said Hello, and fancy meeting you again, and of course he didn't recognise me. I told him we met in Berlin in 1989, but it didn't ring any bells with him. Well, it had been a couple of years.
