As a German: The second video is so shocking to Germans because the train is 2 minutes early. German trains are notorious for ALWAYS being late. It's super rare when they arrive on time, this one's even early.

The reversible escalator was at a small train station, where people either want to enter the train or leave.pretty smart.

The last clip is from the main city square from Halle, the second largest city in Sachsen-anhalt a east german state. In the video you can see the roter Turm (red tower) in the background. The main plaza is built over a salt mine, which is long dry out, but the remnants are still there. It is possible to look down trough little windows, but you also can take a tour trough it. The salt produktion was the main produktion in Halle so it is also seen in the coat of arms of the city.
I actually live in the southwest of Germany, but I have a friend in Halle who studies geography.

Hey guy! You were wondering about "Döner Kebab". You already have seen it before but i can't remember in wich video. The Döner (Kebab) is a pita bread filled with meat (mostly chicken or deer but sometimes lamb or sheep), onions, cucumber, tomato, coleslaw and diffrent sauces. It is really delicious and a good food to eat while walking because of the (pita) bread. It was foundet by a turkish immigrant in Berlin. The meat is the turkish version of greek gyros. So it is "baked" in many layers on a stick. Greetings from Germany and Thank You for your interesting stuff

It's always funny to me that Ryan keeps on reacting so surprised to door handles. Actually most countries use door handles and only a minority like the US use door knobs.
Door knobs are much harder to operate especially for small children or people with disabilities or when your hands are wet or greasy. Also you can operate door handles with your elbow if you carry something heavy or f.i. a sleeping child. There are actually no redeeming factors for using door knobs at all 😃

1:01 i think what she wanted to say is that the train arrives earlier as planned. Germany is known that trains are delayed very often or that trains are cancelled in the last second. She should arrive at 10:46 pm (22:46) but her arrivement is at 10:44 pm (22:44) so shes 2 minutes early and she took the video at 10:41pm (22:41 top right corner)

Greetings man from a humble German.
Currently ill since 2 days, the first day i got to know your channel.
Since than i watched a whole bunch of your videos.
It's a pleasure watching you react to german culture, and getting to learn more about the german culture i kinda didnt know or "ignored".

[fillandra]

I'm German and I've been on so many train stations, running after so many trains.... I did NOT know that the escalators would turn their direction if I had approached them. My god, I'm laughing at myself right now 😂

[wafflehussle]

We use eggholders almost every Saturday/Sunday when we make like the "big fancy" breakfast and make fresh boiled eggs. As they are too hot to hold we use Eggholders. Or we just put the egg on breat (So the yellow from the egg flows all over the bread and ham, delicious x3)

1:20, the train is supposed to arrive at 10:46 p.m., but the Deutsche Bahn (thr train servise in Germany) is late for 95% of all trips, but this train is supposed to arrive at the station too early.

[shagrat]

The greetings are a mix of typical regional ones. "Hallo" the more international German version of "Hello" used everywhere. "Grüss Gott" most common in the south basically derived. from "Gott segne dich" ("May God bless you"). "Servus" more common in southern Germany, especially Bavaria along the old "I am your humble servant".
Another is "Pfuät Di" ("May God guide you"). "Moin" is typical for northern Germany and most people mistake it for something about "Morning", but it actually is a shortened form of "Moien Dag"/"Moi'n Dag" which means "Guten Tag" ("Have a good day") in Plattdeutsch/Friesisch.

The second video showed that the train is 2 minutes early and usually the train is at least 5-10 minutes late

[zuzana]

1:24 it is time schedule inside of train, it says next stop Nurnberg. The train should arrive 2 minutes earlier than expected :D where almost everywhere else in the world usually train is late :) Btw i'm curious, do you plan to do commentary about videos from other European countries or you want to focus on Germany only? thanks ;)

6:00 when you’re hiking in the mountains, it’s normal to greet everyone even if you don’t know each other. It’s like a mountain law. If you don’t greet, you’re disrespectful.

[Microtubui]

the 9€ Ticket was for 2 month only. for this you could drive through germany. it was a government help. but only the slow trains not the fast ones^^

[aki]

The second one is about the German Train Company called "Deutsche Bahn" and is known for being late. Like not 2 or 3 minutes late but late as in 30 to hours late or that the train isn't even coming.

I traveled for nearly 3 years with the train on a daily to get to school and back. And I have seen it all, except that the train came early, that is something I have never seen before. It is even unusual that the train arrives on time.

But it is only the Company "Deutsche Bahn" other Train Company like "FlixTrain" manage to always arrive on time, with at least only a few minutes of delay

[Brokkoli]

Lol that 99, 99% thing is pretty funny actually 😅.
It's at the "Marktplatz" from my Hometown "Halle (Saale)" and especially this city kinda grow big economical (in the Middle Ages) because it was build on salt. Through that thing on the Market you can see a real salt line in the underground but the lights are only on if you rotate it to the correct angle xD (in the Video they was off). I loved to play with it in my young ages ☺️

[Snowy_Yuki_X]

1:30 that is the train Schedule of an Inter City Express (ICE) which is on Time and the funny part about that is that especially the DB(Deutsche Bahn the Biggest German Train Company) is known to be always late.
And it is almost a miracle that a train is on time and even more so because the train arrived before the scheduled time.

[larndo]

7:50 it's more like hardcore than techno. But yes Germany is the techno nation.

[magni]

Two-way escalators just work by having a pressure plate at both ends that triggers it to run the right direction for a short while when someone steps on it. It's mostly on smaller entrances to inner-city rail/subway stations.

11:30: Eggholders are for classic breakfast eggs, which are slightly boiled in their shell, but not to the point of becoming fully solid. Then you put it into the holder, crack the shell at the top and can eat the runny egg with a spoon. Optionally, sprinkle some salt on it.
