Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey

In this episode we decided to step back and look at things from a different perspective: the German perspective. We conducted a very interesting interview with Felicia, the host of the YouTube channel “Feli From Germany”. The discussion focuses on a German’s view of the United States, including: making friends with Americans, the differences between American and German cultures, her life as an expat in Ohio, and more!

Lager, Pilsner, Weißbier and more! You can not discuss Germany without mentioning beer. Some of the best beer in the world is made in Germany and it is a part of daily life here, whether you like it or not (hopefully you do). We discuss the history of German beer, our first experiences with it and how the beer culture differs from that in the USA. 

There's more to Germany than just big cities like Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt. Join us as we "read between the lines" and take a look at the beautiful German villages that dot the countryside. We'll discuss the people, the nature...the dinosaur themed bowling alleys?

Going out, grabbing beers, and maybe doing a little dance? Let's talk about going out for a good time with your friends in the evening. We'll go over bars, getting into clubs, and how to get home in the end. Grab a beer and come along with us. 

It's time to have some fun in the Sun! Enjoying public ping pong tables, exploring abandoned bunkers, and hanging out with friends in the park...this week we’ll discuss activities Germans do during the summer in the great outdoors. 

Dealing with loud neighbours, bringing a desk on the subway and...where’s my bike? This week we’ll discuss the positives and negatives of living in a big metropolitan city in Germany.

Clever windows, weird toilets, high ceilings and more...this week we'll discuss German apartments and how they might differ from those in the USA. We'll also go over the basic steps of searching for an apartment in Germany and what obstacles you may face. 

Recently, a listener of our podcast asked us a thought-provoking question: why are you staying in Germany? In this episode, we discuss our personal reasons why we still enjoy living here and have not yet moved back home. 

It’s time to take a bite out of German food. We’ll talk about the classic dishes that come out of the land of Deutsch and also cuisine that is specific to Berlin. To celebrate our 10th episode we each cooked a German dish ourselves. We saved you some leftovers.

(Disclaimer: This was recorded 2 weeks ago, we are now staying at home and practicing social distancing) The life of an expat isn't all fun and sunshine. For some it can be a struggle to find where they fit in their new home.
