Consider these things of life in Germany before deciding to move here, no matter if you want to work in Germany or just come here to study at a university. Germans people are one of a kind.

As a German I complain about the fact that you complain about the fact that Germans complain.

I'm german and the issue with moving kitchens annoys me also very much. Moving kitchens is the most stupid idea ever. Why do we that? Thats highly masochistic.

Being British and having lived and worked in India, Hungary, Italy and Sweden too, I would say Germany is pretty amazing. Hear me out. Yes, it's over-regulated. Yes, it's annoying that despite being a native speaker with over 15 years experience teaching English as a foreign language I couldn't work in the school system if I wanted to, and yes the trains have got worse even in the past 6 years I've lived here. Yes, the kitchen thing is insane - but I guess you don't get stuck with a kitchen you hate? BUT despite the high taxes, I do see where the money goes - the streets (at least around my state) are clean and in good repair (ok roadworks get annoying but are bearable), the police are great - I've had 2 dealings with them and both times they were amazing - polite, friendly and super helpful and efficient. I've lived in 6 different countries and travelled to over 70 and for me, Germany is the place I will have as my base. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than so many other places? Absolutely!

As a german i would like you to do a second part about what you hate about germany. Thanks

I've had Germans telling my whole life that their train system is terrible and it is only having recently returned to Ireland from a holiday in Germany that a lot of them just don't know how bad things can actually be.

Love how Radical Living presents these disadvantages. Thank you for your German directness and honesty. Honestly speaking Germany has these problems but these problems exist in other countries as well and sometimes even worse than in DE. My conclusion would be that the world system we live in has these inherent problems and that politicians are not solving them. So we need solutions to these problems and real change in society.

Oh. Mein. God.
Replace the word Germany with 'France' and damn that's almost spot on.
I didn't realize our countries were so alike (french person here)

I am German from Germany, lived 23 years in the USA, and I am fed up with how shitty things there are! 😅
Now that I am back in Germany, I wholeheartedly agree with you on everything, especially the over regulation and bureaucracy.
As for the Taxes .. I am actually happily pay the higher taxes in Germany, as in the USA most taxes seem to pay for the gigantic military, and one does not get much benefit from it at all. If something bad happens to you, like an accident or a temporary disability, you are f**ked.
Where the taxes go in Germany, you ask? Bureaucracy, of course, duh! 😂
As for the nearly censorship of the media in Germany... Nuh, I do not think it is THAT bad, and I base that on my experience with Murican Media that is owned and steered by a few owners and corporations, that fiercely push their own political interests and often just outright lie.
Great Video, thank you for this collection of the things that one could bother about Germany. It is much easier for me to show this video to someone, than to try and explain it all myself. 😊
Cheers

I think Denmark got more bureaucracy and paper work. The problem with Germany is that it's probably done with physical paper and letters.

You should try Spain for paperwork! It's pure Kafka. For example, when you have a baby, the hospital gives you a document about it and then you need to go to like 4 or 5 different places and fill in forms with the same information, which is a great fun with a neborn, especially after a c-section 🤪

After a year studying abroad in Japan I'm highly sceptical of the PISA study. I'm not all too familiar how their measure those scores but it sure seems like they would not evaluate critical thinking or thinking outside of the box which has at least for my education in Germany been one of the essentials. Also despite China and Singapore the difference between Germany and the higher ranked countries is only marginal, so even though Germany needs to fix a lot of issues like digitalization, shortage of teachers and updating some of its teaching methods, it is still nowhere near a bad education system imo

As an Italian, watching the part about toilets, made me feel superior with our bidets

Come visit America and you'll be running back to Berlin singing "Deutschland Deutschland Uber Alles" all the way home

2 more things : having to pay for toilets (not only Germany) and the pressure at supermarket lines (ridiculous)

I think these characteristics are common across Europe. In the UK digitalisation is generally good, but outside of the home Internet access is generally very poor, especially on public transport and even when available you have to sign up with personal details which is annoying. There are no words to describe how bad the government is in the UK.I have visited Germany several times and really loved it.

The problem with internet is because Germany built out a solid, underground copper telecom system following the war. Extremely difficult to upgrade.
In America, everything is above ground basically. Easier to upgrade but also subject to more outages.
In third world countries, they never really had a telecom infrastructure. Maybe 10% of the country had a fixed line home phone. When internet comms became available, easy to build out a network based on latest tech rather than upgradining exisiting copper.

This is totally spot-on! I've been here for nearly 12 years. It's all true. The most painful ones for me are all related to bureaucracy. Absolutely horrible. All of it. Combined with the lack of digitalization, it's so, so painful.

The work culture. Employers and employees are so stressed, overworked and mean that they frequently scream at you, verbally abuse and mistreat you. I hated to work here just for the social aspect, I actually didn’t mind the work itself. People are just hateful and inhumane. Especially if you work in low paying jobs. Now that I am in a better job things are way better. But working in the working class in Germany is toxic af and requires nerves of steel to survive.

Indian here. The thing that surprises me the most in this videos is internet unavailability during a journey and expensive trains. Things like politics, corruption and taxes are common almost everywhere in the world.
