â¸It's been a little over 5 years since I got on a plane from Munich to Paris and from Paris to Cincinnati, Ohio to do an exchange semester at the University of Cincinnati. It wasn't the first time in the US for me, but the first time that I would actually LIVE there for about 5 months. I was really nervous but I ended up having the most amazing time during that exchange semester which is why I kept coming back to the US over and over again until I won the Green Card Lottery and was able to stay for as long as I wanted. For my 5 year anniversary of me living in the US, I decided to do a little recap and talk about 13 American things (since I arrived on August 13th 2016) that I can't live without anymore (   â˘Â 13 Things About the USA I Canât Live ...  ) and in this video, about 13 things that even after 5 years I just can't get used to!

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 27, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other experiences that I have made during my time in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

for me as a Mexican the US feels so much safer lol. I guess it's all relative

One year late chiming in, but you live in a rich belt of Amish communities. They sell real milk and butter and cheeses. Easy access from Cincinnati to either PA, KY or other parts of Ohio. Congratulations and glad you're digging the US.

You can add a moveable shower head anytime you want. It's a simple fixture to attach. I have a hand held showerhead with a mount for stationary use, as do nearly everyone I know.

Many homes in the US have movable shower heads with a hose. My family had them since like at least 20 years ago.
It really is just something that varies for individual homes or buissiness.

As a South African living in Germany, the LACK of AC in Germany is something I still haven't gotten used. đ

There is a simple reason we use top loaders more often for washing. They are more reliable than a front loader, and with a front loader, you tend to get a lot more mold, must, and bad smells. Even when you clean it.

For the deposit thing, Michigan has a deposit system almost identical to Germany.
$0.10 a can/bottle, and you can take them to anywhere that sells whatever it is, even a gas station. Most grocery stores, or places like Walmart, have rooms with deposit machines like that for aluminum, glass, or plastic.
Why more places don't adopt it is beyond me, at least in the Upper Peninsula you don't find discarded cans or bottles littering places because of it.

I'm with you on the showerheads. However, if you have your own place I can't believe you haven't replaced the head yet. Very easy, just unscrew the old one and screw on the replacement. If renting, just save the old one and replace it when you leave, taking your flexible hose one with you. And they usually run only about 20 dollars. It's been so long I don't even remember what kind of shower head this place had when it was built, but probably a fixed one-state of the industry-lol.

This just reinforces that culture is not monolithic in the US. If you were to live in a city on the west coast, you'd find a lot of these things to be different than in Cincinnati.

That spiral thing in the middle of the washer is called an agitator. I think it cleans clothes better than a front loader. As for damaging clothes, do not overload it, and you will need to wash very delicate items, like lace, by hand.

I grew up in the US where we had a shower head attached to a hose. When I moved off to college was my first time experiencing living with a fixed showerhead. I have since decided that when I own a home that I will have a "hose showerhead." I like clean showers.

I've installed hand-held showerheads on all my showers for the last 40 years, even at the apartments I've rented. It's easy to install and easy to put back when you move out.

I lived in Germany for just 3 months in college and I still to this day miss the delicious fresh bread and pretzels available at every supermarket and bakery. Also dĂśner kebabs and paprika Pom bär â¤ď¸

I'm originally from Serbia (southeast Europe), but I have lived in Germany for 46 years, and I've got a top-loader washing machine from a German manufacturer called AEG. I had to choose a top-loader because top-loaders are narrower and I don't have room for front-loaders.
The operation of my washing machine is completely normal. You can adjust the temperatures etc. and inside it looks normal, not like in the video.

Honestly, I enjoy your content more than 99% of YouTube, so thank you for taking he time to create it. Perspective is needful in this day and age and yours adds value.
I would be interested in your perspectives on rural America, as the lifestyle, crime-level and environment are quite different than in urban areas. The USA is a huge geographic area and having lived it both metro areas and small towns, I find the difference to be profound.
I hope you continue to enjoy much future success !

The fixed showerhead is common because it's cheap. You can always go and get a hosed replacement and install it yourself. I've always done that. In places I've rented I change the showerhead out and save the original so I could replace it when I moved out.

I remember back in the 70s when most soft drinks came in glass bottles rather than cans almost all grocery stores, at least around Cincy, did have dedicated bottle return areas and they were widely used. They were very noisy too with all that glass clanking.

I know this video is a couple years old, but for Americans who live in states without a deposit system, most big cities regardless of location have recycling centers that will at least pay for aluminum by weight. I grew up outside of Chicago, and as Illinois doesn't (currently) have a deposit system, it was quite common to bag aluminum cans separately until you had several garbage bags full of cans, and then we'd bring them to the recycling center, they'd weigh your bags and give you cash. Places like this I've gone to elsewhere in the US today still do this with aluminum cans as well as other sources of recyclable metals. Not as good as a deposit system, but it's something that gives people an incentive to recycle.
