Something I truly love about home (SA) is how friendly the people are. When I went to Europe people got so annoyed at me for greeting them. At home I can have the best conversations with complete strangers and it always makes my day. I also love how everyone gets a pet name like "darling" or "chief"

I was only in Germany for a month, and you are so on point with your observations. Gosh, a friend of mine was detained for crossing a red traffic light😂. You can imagine our shock because there were no cars or anything. Also, I would always walk on the bicycle lane instead of pedestrian lane. Couldn't really tell the difference. Yeah, the meat, languages and chatting randomly to a cashier ... not happening in Germany. Oh, one thing that reminded me of SA though was when our shuttle broke (a Benz nogal) as we were travelling from Berlin to Frankfurt. The driver was so shocked at how chilled we were while waiting for another one to pick us up, we were dancing outside the shuttle and singing - just having fun. Otherwise, I enjoyed my time there. Oh, and our visit coincided with the Ke Nako Afrika festival in Germany, and we enjoyed mingling with other Africans there. Thank you for this video.

Great video Noah. You have really experienced the true South African culture to its fullest. You also didn't mention that you are a singer. I was with you at the choir camp earlier this year in Franschhoek. I hope you remember me. 😊

Love how you respresented South Africa

Great video man. What I appreciate the most is that as a foreign national you took the time to learn one of the indigenous languages. So many white South Africans absolutely refuse to do so ,yet here you are showing them it's not that difficult if you're truly interested. Definitely subscribing and looking forward to more of your vlogs 👍

Woah free varsity???🤯 That's so cool. I had an Australian friend years ago. After being here for a year, he left with the "now"- "now-now" African time culture😂. He said he like it because it doesnt add the presure of dissapointing someone if youre a little later than you were expected to be at a place. He liked that "freedom" and not having to dissapoint someone due to time constraints and expectations.

It is quite rare to have someone from overseas form an accurate opinion of an African country. Most people simply formulate misguided opinions based on shallow stereotypes they heard long ago and remembered those in association of that country. Thank you so much to show the world a non-biased outlook of our country. Your positive attitude towards living here reflects greatly and your observations are indeed quite accurate. Also truly impressive that you've made an effort to learn isiXhosa. I know that most people that come from countries that have only one official language find it difficult to speak English, to have someone learn an African language on top of that is extraordinary. I don't know how you feel about speaking Afrikaans, but I don't believe you'll find it difficult to master since it is not that far removed. There are several German communities in South Africa with their own schools and churches, all of whom speak Afrikaans fluently. A good challenge for you to undergo should you find the time😊

I'm a Zimbabwean who studied at UCT and spent a year as an exchange student in Germany in 1999, and I'm shocked that 23 years later nothing has actually changed. This is all really really true! I could add a lot more! I loved my time in both countries though

Some great observations! As a South African, I can testify that not all of us want men to pay on the first date. On most dates in my circles people split it or they take turns. Not all parents are heavy conservative about sex: Most parents don’t want you to have sex in their house which is fair, but most couples in my circles don’t wait until marriage. Definitely depends on which circles you are in, whether you’re in SA or Germany.

I loved this video because you really have embraced the true essence of our spirit as a nation. Despite there being so many differences- languages, cultures, income brackets and so on, we are actually very integrated. The long last effects of the country's past are still battles but as people, we want to move forward in every way we can and that's our outlook. For most millennials and those younger, OUR country and outlook are as one nation. We battle the hardships together and will always have a smile on our faces. Love how you mention being able to have conversations with the cashiers. For me, some of the most epic people I've met are petrol attendants who will always brighten up your day. And respect to you for adapting to the SA "rules" of the road and our taxis "rules". Driving in SA can be a bit like GTA at times. We are anything but boring!
