Hitting The Bridge

Episode 5 – Sunday, Funday feat. Duffy

Listen Later

Sundays in Germany – one of the most-mentioned topics from expats on YouTube moving to Germany. Are Sundays here really that different and if so, what makes them unique? Back in February, I had a spontaneous chit chat with Duffy about our thoughts and experiences on that topic. We spoke about popular Sunday activities, Sunday laws, a work-life-balance and days of rest around the world. How can expats actively dive into German culture where the industry comes to a standstill, so people can socialize and be active outdoors? What to do in an emergency and how do seasons influence the experience? Will Germany continue to hold onto the tradition of its industry shutting down every Sunday in the long run? Listen in and let us know about your personal experiences! 👟🎒☀️🌲🚴‍♀️
