First of all, on behalf of german men, let me say: thank you. It's great that you had such good experiences, but somehow I can't get rid of the nagging suspicion that you make us look a lot better than we are, over all. ;)

Second, as an educated man with a great respect for women, I would say: it is a pleasure to have you here in our country.

I am glad you like it in Germany. I remember being in England on my year abroad and coming home with marks from being pinched in the butt, and then back in Germany, instead of trying that, they will step back and let you pass. And nobody wolff calling me all night in the club. Felt so weird.

Reading the comments of this video, I am coming to a (not very surprising) main conclusion: We Germans still haven't learned to cope with compliments about our "German-ness"! Even if it is understandable when regarding our history, we are still in a state of underestimating our virtues and advantages, and we are far away from feeling "patriotic". (And sadly enough - WHEN some of us feel patriotic it turns out to be sort of a rather brown patriotism which in the end is nothing but a very anxious trial of refusing the fact that the world is not a static thing, that things are changing and nothing stays as it has been in former times. No fixed frames to keep the hands on when the soil starts shaking because of panta rhei!)
Sorry for being a little ironic. But I really dream of a Germany which is able to regard itself as sort of "admireable" without slipping into a far right corner by doing so.

Germans like to travel alot and new zealand is a very nice destination for traveling. Lord of the rings showed alot of nice landscapes there.

It's so healing for me to hear this. As we still suffer from deep subconscious guilt from our past, which is fed almost every day on tv, it's awesome to hear how foreigners experience "us". Big hug. 😘

I totally agree. The Germans on a whole are worldly and respectful and the men ain’t macho, which is so nice. But I find kiwi men are pretty good too and not far behind the Germans. I live in OZ now and I find there are plenty of macho Aussie blokes, I can definitely see a difference when I go back home to NZ.

I was tripping around the South Island 6 months ago, and there were a lot of Germans! So I'm not surprised many know about NZ. And I was also travelling with a German lol...

I was eight weeks in New Zealand in 1990 with a friend. We traveled five weeks over the south island and the three weeks over the north island. The German Reunification was going on at this time and the "Kiwis" were very interested in this and we were asked a lot. That was very nice. I liked the most Christchurch, Coromandel and the beaches near Nelson. In Wellington our hostel was called "Beethoven". Unfortunately I've heard that Christchurch has changed not to better - through the rebuilding after the heavy earthquake. If I could I would visit New Zealand again. The hardest thing during our travel were the sandflies ;-) and one had always to have in mind the sun radiation and the ozon hole.

I know someone who is visiting/living in New Zealand. She updates us here at home from time to time, what she does, where she lives now, which job she chose. Really interesting. I would love to go there someday <3 I've heard a lot good things from there too

There is "Catcalling" also in Germany, but just when some guys have alcohol in their bloodstreams and/or when they are young and boisterously. A woman should not enter a tram or train when a lot of Soccer Hooligans are in it.

[josefsmusic]

even i don t think the germans are always so, you re still very kind to say so! enjoy germany!

[Miwosanur]

You have a lovely english dialect and voice, emily and I like you as a kiwi enjoying your time here in germany. Germany has hundreds of old towns waiting to be discovered, different mentalities (at least three different in NRW, three different in RP, two different in BW, at least four different in bavaria, one in sachsen, one in berlin, one in hamburg, one in niedersachsen, one in schleswig-holstein and meck-pom.), a minimum of two dozens dialects of german and a very rich cultural heritage like our great neighbours - i.e. the long time cultural idol country France.

Thank you for your nice comments ! <3

[Hundert]

Danke vielmals für den Bericht. Geiles Video!! Viel Erfolg. Bleib gesund, Mach's gut. 🍒✝️🍍

We have had quite a few German guests in our Airbnb and they are lovely people.
I despise small talk so I'd enjoy that aspect!

[linajurgensen]

Well we have so many foreigners who don’t except our language and culture (Turkish minority, arabs etc.).

It warms my heart that you accept us like we are☺️❤️

[rockyracoon]

Love your video! Always a pleasure to come across Germanophiles!♡

[Miwosanur]

Der Sonnenschein aus Neuseeland, ihre süßten lieben Kinder und hoffentlich bald auch ihr guter Ehemann berichten über Deutschland. Danke Dir, liebe Antoinette!

2:00 My sister was in New Zealand for 6 months and I saw the pictures she took there and thought it was a pity that I couldn't be there.
