Ostfriesland, Germany (Leer and Emden) on the North Sea

I enjoyed making this video about northwest Germany so much that I don’t even care if nobody else watches it. I have such great memories of my time there. I hope I can live there someday. Seeing the rich tea culture made me appreciate teatime that much more, and I now have a deeper understanding to why my family practiced afternoon tea growing up. Bünting and Thiele are the two main brands. The tea is accompanied with German rock sugar and very heavy cream. When the cream is added to the hot tea, it floats to the top making a beautiful flower in the cup. Our Airbnb was great, and we have the most awesome host and hostess! I hope you enjoyed watching this video. Please subscribe if you want to see more.

Thank you for this video! My family is from East Frisia as well, and many still live in Leer. This was wonderful to see. I hope to go someday.

As a west Frisian it's nice to peak across the border to see what our cousins are up to - beautiful scenery !

I visited Leer in 2019, and I really fall in love with its landscape. Especially Rysum....

Ostfriesland is beautiful. Friesland (Netherlands) is also very beautiful. Lot of history over there. 👌🏻

Finding I had Frisian ancestry has explained so much! I thought I was German but my real last name is obviously Frisian. And I see my ancestors before 1700 used the patronymic naming system as well. I want to visit.

I hear the area is seen as rural to the Germans, but I am proud of being an educated man who lives in a rural, backward area here in the US! At least now I know my family's love of tea is genetic lol!

My grandma’s family was from East Frisia—she said her Bavarian in-laws looked down on the Frisians as coastal hillbillies lol. The area looks pretty cosmopolitan these days

Ein Ostfriese in Südafrika. Bei YouTupe.

Some of the architecture looks oddly British
