NEVER WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THESE DIFFERENCES IN GERMANY // Ramstein, Germany

After 3 months of living and trying to get to settled into our new lives in Germany, we have come across random, mundane differences between our two countries we would have NEVER expected to be different. These aren’t necessarily big cultural differences, which is why they surprised us. Let us know what you think!

❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist, Donnie was a graphic designer, but we both had a dream to travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! After 9 months of aimless and nonstop travel, we now get to fulfill our dreams of living abroad as expats as we move to Germany!

  1. Hey, i noticed your second camera is flickering. Try using 25fps as your framerate and a shutter speed that is 1/50th or a multiple of that.
    It has to do with the power grid being 50hz in Europe as opposed to 60hz in the us.

  2. About H Milk: The first one was condensed milk, that was mixed with water and used to cook baby food.
    In my childhood in the 1970's we had fresh milk what needs cooling and H milk, at this time in the classical Tetra Pack, today it's almost the Tetra Brick you find instead the pyramid shaped package

  3. H-milk is mostly an emergency supply (i.e. sth. to keep in the larder lest you run out of milk), for eveyday use people will tend to buy „fresh“ milk. I have afeeling though that this may vary accross different age groups as well as socio- economic backgrounds…
    Fountain pens are used at school (our elementary school starts kids of on pencils and its a fairly big thing when they get to get their „fountain pen licence“ ). Later in life people will often switch to more convenient options though for handwritten letters or formal, important signatures people often still like to use a ‚proper‘ pen…

  4. The other big thing I noticed in Germany is that they buy many items fresh every single day; things like bread and sliced meat and cheese. It’s odd but they are obsessed with health-related issues like genetically modified food and the environment, but they smoke more than we do but are somehow convinced that their cigarettes are safer than ours because of pesticides.

  5. I lived in Germany in 1968 through 1970. Most people in Baden-Wurtemburg where I lived drank something called Sprudel. It was a clear liquid with a LOT of carbonation and with just a very tiny bit of lemon flavoring. The first time I drank it, it burnt my throat! But, it didn't take long for me to get used to it. In fact, I miss it today. The closest thing we have to it here in America is Sprite, but it is still too sweet compared to Sprudel. I would go to a German weinstube each evening and buy a Sprudel and a shenken und case sandwitch on dunkel brote. I am sure my spelling is wrong, but that was my best try! Ha. I have never had a better tasting ham and cheese sandwich!!!

  6. H-milk is a typical milk for coffee which is used in large ammount for Kaffeepause in offices and stored without fridge. However fresh milk is used normally at home and especially in family – we seldomly buying H-milk for home, except a single case – we need milk and it is Sunday – then at Tankstelle you can buy normally only H-milk. And one more detail – fresh milk is GMO-frei – and is regarded more healthy – but this you even can recognize by tasting it. For example we are never
    buying H-milk for cooking and within family with children
    Even more the are some adepts who is buying only BIO milk.
    So Zussamenfassung – there are many milks types – just try and choose depending on your personal needs.

  7. I have never bought H-Milch. When I was a kid I visited a relative and they gave us milk. I spat out the milk because it tasted so gross and unfamiliar. I complained and my mother told me that it was "haltbare Milch". Nasty stuff. I only drink fresh milk.

  8. I think the only countries using the US letter size are most of the nations North of Brazil and the Phillippines (I asume that is bc if was once a US protectorate). All other nations in the world have adopted the German DIN A system.

  9. I never use H-Milk, although I have 1 litre as iron reserve in the cellar. The taste is so bad, I cannot drink it pure. Nobody I know uses H-Milch, they all use fresh milk from the refrigerator and I highly doubt, that H-Milk is generally preferred by the german consumer.

  10. Chemicals are cheaper in the US, Gilette shaving gel costs an arm a leg and the quality is lower than the one in North America. I think the EU supply is also made in China.

  11. Mineral water: Standard rule is: The waiter brings a closed bottle to your table and opens it (the "Kronkorken") in front of you. You should reject opened water bottles because some restaurants refill bottles with tab water and as say you can carbonated that very easily. You would be for an "expensive" bottle of mineral water and get cheap tab water.

  12. In Germany they use A4 paper, two ring binders and punchers…. They don't put ice in the coke glass, they don't refrigerate eggs???!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱

    OH, wait…. I'm in a Latin American country and really feel very German right now!!! No differences between us and the Germans here 😂😂😂😂

  13. 😀😀 ihr könnt auch Frisch Milch in der Glas Flasche kaufen oder Eier beim Bauern 😀 es kommt immer darauf an wo man wohnt. Ich denke in den USA ist es bestimmt auch so. Das es auf dem Land anderst ist wie in der Stadt .Groß Stadt ist denke ich ein noch größerer Unterschied 🤔😀 ich wohne im Weinbau Gebiet sehr ländlich und noch Landwirtschaft, da gibt es Eier vom Bauern 😀 ich hoffe ihr seid mir nicht böse wen ich deutsch schreibe ?:
