I never thought that I would be excited about traffic lights, but it turns out that in Germany I am.
Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad
Here are a few really awesome things that when I first moved to Germany shocked me and
caught me off guard.
But it a good way!
In Germany you get to drive around feeling like you're in a race car.
No, not because there are sections of the Autobahn with no speed limit.
I mean, there are, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
This is actually about the traffic lights.
I never expected that traffic lights would work differently in different countries,
but they do!
For stopping the traffic, they are the same in Germany and the U.S.
The light goes from green to yellow to red.
But when signaling that you can then go in the U.S., the traffic lights just go right
from red straight to green.
Whereas in Germany it's like a race track light.
It goes red, yellow, green, go!
While we're talking about the road, I could not even believe it when I saw that in Germany
the taxis look super fancy.
Most of the taxis that I've seen are these beautiful cream colored Mercedes.
And I would think that having a cream colored car would be kind of bad because they'd
get so dirty so easily, but somehow from what I've seen the taxis here are often spotless and shiny!
Actually, now that I think about it, from what I've seen, most of the cars on the road
here in Germany are spotless and shiny.
That's kind of like, just sort of a thing that I've noticed here.
People must clean their cars a lot.
Before moving to Germany soft pretzels were definitely something that I had had before,
but not something that I ate all that often.
Usually at a sporting event or the mall.
But here in Germany they're really common.
At least in Munich I don't think that I've ever been to a bakery that didn't sell pretzels,
and some of the bakeries are just devoted just to pretzels.
Pretzels with butter, plain pretzels, pretzels with sesame, pretzels with cheese.
Ah, there's so many options and they're all so delicious.
The first time that Mr. German Man and I went to the movies in Germany, he said to me something
like: yeah, we'd better make sure to get there early to get a good seat.
Which, of course, made total sense to me.
Until we got there and actually bought our tickets and then Mr. German Man didn't want
to actually go into the movie theater right away.
We had gotten there early to get good seats!
Which to me meant buying our tickets and then going right away into the theater and
picking out our seats and sitting down.
Because in the U.S. that's how I had always experienced it.
Movie theaters often had some kind of interesting behind-the-scenes show running before the
movie, so it was fun. It was a nice time. I always looked forward to it.
But not as much fun as not actually having to go inside early and sit down in your seat
because, as I've always experienced it here in Germany, when you buy your ticket, your
seat is then printed on the ticket, just like at a concert or a baseball game.
So then, there has never been this pressure or rush to get into the theater super early.
I lived in several different apartments in the U.S., and you know what they all came with?
A kitchen.
In fact, this point was not even a question.
When apartment hunting, sure, I had to think about: well, this apartment comes with a garbage
disposal in the kitchen, and this one does not come with a garbage disposal in the kitchen.
This one has a bigger kitchen, this one has smaller kitchen.
But they all came with a kitchen!
So when Mr. German Man and I started apartment hunting together, and I found out that a lot
of apartments in Germany don't come with a kitchen I was flabbergasted.
I could barely even comprehend such a thing.
I'm pretty sure that I joked with him, like: well fine!
If I have to put in a kitchen, then I'm taking it with me when I leave.
And he was like: yeah, that's what people do.
They move their kitchen around from apartment to apartment.
Kind of just like a couch or a bed.
But so, you might be wondering: well, why would that be awesome?
Because from what I've seen, people in Germany don't seem to move around as
often as people in the U.S. do.
Or at least as often as I did.
So when you look at it from that perspective, it's really kind of cool.
I mean, we've been living in our current apartment here in Germany for several years
now, and while at first I was definitely really annoyed and stressed out about having to put
a whole kitchen into the apartment - as though, you know, I needed to add that cost and expense
to the moving bill - but, now, I have to say, I'm really grateful and appreciative to be
able to live in an apartment with a kitchen that I truly love.
That being said, if we had only been planning to stay in the apartment temporarily, then,
yeah, having to invest in and put in a whole kitchen wouldn't be so awesome.
So my question for you is: What kinds of experiences do you have with these things and what do you prefer?

You get to pick your ticket when you buy your seat.
You get to pick your ticket when you buy your seat!
Did I say that? - Yes! Amazing. I left it, I left it, I let you talk. - I had no idea.
You get to pick your ticket when you buy your seat.
Mmmmh, yummy, yummy, yummy!
For stopping...the traffic...they are the same.
