I was living in Hannover like 10 years ago. It's just a regular city no one really cares about in Germany. It's not considered anything special, it's not touristic etc. But I fucking loved that city. I currently live in Munich and I am about to move back to Hannover.
@@MYTravelBF Hannover has no reputation in germany, at all. But it is so underrated. If you didnt do it allready you should check out the limmer Straße in Linden. There a plenty of kiosks (the small street shops for alcohol, tabaco) and some of the best food restaurants in Hannover (there is a good Vietnamese, kumpir restaurant, pizza punk and a lot of good kebab restaurants). There is actually a word in the local vocabulary (still there aren't many special Hannover words), but there is one word called limmern. It means to going out on the limmer Straße and stop by a kiosk, drink a beer and go to next one. Because there a lot of kiosks on this particular street. And from there you are pretty quick at the Ihme, one of the rivers in Hannover. It's pretty nice to hang out at the river, especially on a hot summer day.
@@sorenbiermann6528 Thank you for the interesting tips! We've been in Linden once so far, but will have to get back to check it out and limmern 🍺 We love learning local words like that, so thanks for sharing that too!
@@MYTravelBF I live in Hannover too and one thing that will probably be super convenient to you as a traveler is that the city is the main rail hub in the north. You'll easily be in Bremen or Hamburg within an hour and you can even use the "Niedersachsen Ticket" as a cheap wayx to travel (it is also valid within Hamburg and Bremen). It's also only about 2 hours to Berlin and there are direct ICE connections to major cities like Frankfurt and München in the south.
Well, I‘m German and I have to admit that sometimes I jaywalk too but before doing that I make sure no kid is around. My first culture shock in the States (Texas) was that so many people asked me if I believe in god. Maybe this might be just a Texan thing but this question was asked so many times. This is not a thing at all in Germany, actually NOBODY cares. The 2. very big culture shock was the friendliness!! I really couldn’t handle things like „Oh, I like your shirt“ or „I like your hair“ „How are you doing today?“ in the beginning. To me it was so weird that the people were so kind and I liked it a lot. Greets from the very western part of Germany. Have an awesome time!
OMG I can imagine there would be some big culture shocks going to the US, especially Texas. I don't think the asking about God part is nearly as common in the north or in bigger cities though. The friendliness is absolutely true though and the reverse has been a shock for us both in Spain and Germany!
Yes,...related to jaywalking,... *it is (for me or i guess the most) for the savty of the kids to be a rolemodel they can mimic "the right thing to do at X location when light is Y-or-Z" >> If no car comes,..and no one arround (esp. kids),... i guess i would just walk...
For me as an Austrian it feels weird. On the one hand we take jaywalking quite seriously and you will get frowned upon. On the other, it is considered the practical thing to do on quiet streets. But you still feel really guilty and sometimes just don't do it, even though it makes no sense to wait. It also changed over the last 2 decades I think. As a kid it was a very big deal, in the meantime the practical aspect of it took over. Today it feels like, if you use good judgement it's okay.
Ah, das gute Lindener Spezial. In Hannover wird dieses Bier auch Maurer-Brause genannt, weil es viel auf Baustellen getrunken wird. Für Baggersee-Feiern haben wir früher bei der Lindener-Brauerei angefragt, ob sie überschüssige Export-Ware da haben. Das haben wir dann für die Hälfte gekriegt. Lindener Spezial wird in Ost-Europa unter dem Namen Braumeister Schulz verkauft. Das hat die Kosten für unsere Partys stark gesenkt. Hab Heimweh nach Hannover.
Sorry, dass ich Heimweh nach Hannover bekomme! Wir haben hier viele lokale Biere probiert und mögen Lindener Spezial. Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Kommentieren!
Next tip to go to (you might already have heard it): International Fireworks Festival in the Herrenhäuser Gardens. It is sold out already (as usual) but you can view it from many elevated areas (Lindener Berg) or just your roof top. Not sold out is Skate-By-Night were Hannovers streets belong to inline skaters - well, not all, but a many. Meeting is at 6PM at the Klagesmarkt, skates can be rented. That's on the 24th of August.
Thank you for the tip on where to view the International Fireworks Festival! We are planning to check it out soon! Also, thank you for the Skate-By-Night recommendation, we had no idea this was happening!
Hallo und herzlich willkommen in Hannover. Wir leben nur ca. einen Kilometer von der Oststadt durch die du gegangen bist. In der List. Die beiden Stadtteile sind sehr schön .Du hast dir die richtige Stadt ausgesucht 😄👍
Willkommen in meiner Stadt! Du solltest aber unbedingt mal von der Eilenriede auf die andere Seite der Stadt wechseln und die Leineaue besuchen! Man kann von Döhren zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad die Leine entlang bis in die Innenstadt und weiter bis Herrenhausen (oder anders herum). Die Tour ist absolut zu empfehlen und bietet zwischendurch viele Möglichkeiten ein Bier zu trinken 😊 I could have written this in english, but you want to learn german - so go on and give it a try 😂 btw: Hannover is one of the better cities to live in! It might not be the best, but it is definitely better than all the others, bigger ones.
@@MYTravelBF You can enter many of the museums in Hannover for free one day a week. The day variies from museum to museum, but you can find the info online. If you like museums it's definetely worth it.
I don‘t know how it is in America and how it is today but I remember when I was in elementary school we had some sort of traffic training where police came to the school to teach us how to behave in traffic especially on a bicycle. We could also get a „Fahrradführerschein“ after completion of a small parcours. Therefore we had roads painted on our schoolyard where police just could add different signs on a stand to it. So it is engrained in our blood (obviously not in everyone‘s) that we don‘t walk when it‘s red. And therefore we don‘t jaywalk even when nobody is watching.
That’s really smart! In the US, we never really had formal training in school like that with a bicycle. In fact, most US cities don’t have great bicycle infrastructure at all 😔
@@MYTravelBF If you like creativity I would highly recommened the Maker Faire Hannover. It's on Sep 10 + 11 and located in the Hannover Congress Centrum (HCC). Last time in 2019 more than 17.500 people attended and it was absolutely fantastic. In case you also would like to visit the faire look out for booth #105 in the Eilenriedehalle and say HI. I'm displaying props from the science fiction and mystery universe.
@@MYTravelBF I'm not sure how to send you a private message on UA-cam, but if you are intererested I could send you a 20% discount code for the Maker Faire.
Interesting to see someone moving to Hanover. I would love to see how you travel around the nearby/Surroundings municipalities/Districts. Like Peine, Gifhorn, Nienburg/Weser and so on. Like one Video for every District. It would be cool to really see how Germany and not only the Big Cities or Tourist Regions look like
@3:36 That is not true, dude, the gas station shop is open on Sundays and you get even staple food for reasonable prices if it works in association with a supermarket chain. If a German wants to experience America without going abroad, he just has to move to the countryside, 100% car dependency.
Ahhh we didn’t know it was if it had to do with the supermarket chain. Thank you for sharing! While it’s been a change, it’s very nice overall that things are closed on Sundays, especially for the workers. Also we absolutely do not miss car dependency! It’s one of the many bad things about living in the US that we do not miss!
German here and new to your channel. I jaywalk sometimes when I'm in absolute hurry but I would never do that when children are around. And as for drinking in public, I just don't like it much because it gives also a misleading example for kids. But I get it when hard working handyman need their 'Feierabendbier'. A ice cold beer is more than refreshing.
Thank you, Claudia! It makes complete sense to not do those two in front of children because it sets a bad example. We like that that is engrained in society here, even though of course, not everyone follows the rules.
Beer dinking in public is also allowed in Austria, but I don't do it. If I want to drink beer, i sit down in a beergarden and drink my beer there. In the streets there are many people who drink alkohol while walking, but many of them are addicted to alcohol and I don't want people thinking of me, that I also might be in such a state. When i walk i drink sodas or soda or just water. I wonder, if one of your first impressions also include cleanliness and safety.
That's a really good point about drinking beer in public. We don't do it often, but it was definitely something we noticed when moving to Germany. As for cleanliness and safety, Germany is wayyyy better than the US, but I think because we moved from Spain to Germany it hasn't been noticeably cleaner or safer than Spain. Once we get settled in, we'll do another video on some culture shocks too,
In Spain, Madrid is the only Community or Region in which everything is open on Sundays; in all the others it is closed except for certain days, 3 or 4 a year. This is an example of the misunderstood "freedom" provided by the extreme right wing that governs there. Generally in Spain we respect people's rest.
Thank you for the clarification! I lived in La Rioja for 2 years and almost everything was closed on Sundays, and the quality of life was much better overall. I think it was more noticeable since last year we lived in Madrid, which felt more like America on Sundays🙄 It's good to hear the rest of Spain hasn't followed along with Madrid's right wing government.
@@MYTravelBF you should not believe every nonsense. first of all: open 24/7 is a liberal thing and a good one. 'right' doesnt exist, thats a left wing projection. conservatives (thats structural conservatives as well as left wing/socialists) are both anti-liberal and responsible for 'closed' (minded) stores.thats true for both countries. now both can have depending on the region have some liberal aspects which can lead sometimes to this or that decision. but in general: no, the more LIBERAL opening whenecer you want is of course much better than forcing ppl to close something for any ideology.
Actually it´s forbidden to drink alcohol within 50m of a Kiosk unless the owner has a Schanklizens (liquor license), if not they pay a fine when caught.
It's still been a little bit of an adjustment having to go to the supermarket on Friday or Saturday, but it's not that bad, just a small adjustment you get used to pretty fast.
@@MYTravelBF Okay, and how is your experience of the calm city with people just sitting in beer gardens, cafes and parks doing pretty much nothing? Sunday lazy day. ^^ I know that Americans tend to use the sunday for shopping or doing chores and my advice is. Do nothing! Enjoy yourselves. Relax! ;-)
constantly this reference to observing the red traffic light. Don't you have any rules? Can you just overtake the school bus just because you don't want any rules?
There are obviously rules in the US, like not overtaking a school bus when it's stopped. It's just more common to see people cross at a red pedestrian light there, and in Spain as well, where we were living before moving to Germany.
I'm remembering my first time in NYC Central Park, must have been @ '91, where I bought a 6-Pack for me and my friend, and and hanging out, having a beer. Does't take long where folks around us where supervising us not to do so. I explained that we are germans, they replyed: OK! Never got arrested! 😉
As a Czech living in Berlin - jaywalking is way more common here than in south/west Germany. And even though I´m sure this will backfire - I´m not a rolemodel for anyone´s kids. My parents explained to me why any whose examples not to follow, try the same. There are way worse things to see on the street than crossing on red the kids can copy...
People who jaywalk will win 10 to 30 seconds. What to do with that little amount of time? You can't store it to have let's say one day off a year 🙂 If you are late because of 20 sec. you definately left the house to late. So to me it's senseless and shows how restless people are. Check out "My Merry Messy Life" a channel from a family with four children who live in Germany since last year.
Why US Americans always say that everything is closed on Sundays? Is the only fun you can imagine is shopping? Yes, you can not shop on Sundays (and companies don't work), but almost everything else, that have to do with entertaining people, are open: restaurant, cafés, bars, theatres, cinemas, zoos, museums, fun parks, and the list goes on...
It's not a bad thing that places are closed on Sundays. It's just a shock because most Americans are not used to that. We think it's a good thing overall.
Thanks for the nice pictures of Hannover-List...you even went right past my apartment building. I moved from Florida to Germany as an exchange teacher at the University in Germany 51 years Ago and have remained...and am grad I did so. The Americans are so proud about being so "free"...thinking the USA is the land of the free. You just have to look at the American schools to see how "free" they are: dress Codes, fortbidden subjects ("Dont's say gay"), booklist of fortbidden books (like the Diary of Anne Frank!), the rejection of Science (no Darwin) and the dominance of Sports. For adults things like drinking alkohol in public is fortbilden in the USA...and are totally tolerated in Germany. What is "freedom" for Americans...or is that just fake news?
Thank you! We are so happy to have moved here too, even though it's only been a month living in Hannover. Hopefully, we'll be staying for a long time! And we totally agree about American "freedom" it doesn't really make sense...
