I love Germany and her people. One of the nicest people I worked with back in the 1990s was a lady named Sibella Kent. She was from Germany and had so many wonderful stories. She passed back in 2005. I miss her. Peace to you GIV.

I'm lovin' your 'Made in Germany' series...

I’ve been to Germany and many places in Europe in my past life. I know they have an admiration for America, but I would have been much happier to see their mall with stores I have never seen before. If I went to Germany today I would be disappointed walking into South Coast Plaza. ✌🏻&❤️ GiV.

As an American my late Turkish father worked in Dusseldorf back in early 60's then back to motherland 1980's. When he visited me here in Florida he constantly spoke about how beautiful Germany was. Thanks for the nice video.

@conker bad day i don't know why do you feel that way? They have been very nice and generous to my family. i had beautiful childhood with lots of things from Germany. My father was high school graduate and he was a poor man, after Germany we had financially very comfortable and good life. I remember When he brought first sharp-Lorenz TV to my house our livingroom was like a movie theater. Every night 20-30 people😀. My first bike, first Addidas shoe and much more things came from Germany.i can't turn my back to Germans. God bless Germany!!

Oh wow that mall looks so nice and clean! I Dream to one day visit Germany 🇩🇪

I was married to a Hungarian girl her relatives lived in Munich and always enjoyed going to the Oktoberfest. She came from a town in the north of Hungary and in that town is mostly retired German people. Lots of retired Germans in Hungary. They like the lower prices and they always make the town were they live look nice.

I've really enjoyed your Germany videos, I've learned so much already!

Take note: It is demography that in numerous ways most influences and shapes a nation. You're far too concerned with the importation of American retail brands and not focusing on the actual threat to your stability which is: The emerging, non Western, non Christian demographic that has already permanently settled there---who will continue to gain in strength by steadily gaining in numbers. That's the colonization that should be keeping you awake at night.

TK Maxx is TJ Max, same company, not a copy . The name for European operations

I used to work at Centro mall (Starbucks) and it get's crazy busy on the weekends especially before Christmas, all the way through November/December. One of the reasons is probably its location - right in the middle of the Ruhrvalley, close to many big cities and also just a short drive from near by Holland. Lots of shoppers from the Netherlands on the weekends, the Dutch love that mall. Great to meet your subscribers, same here, I love L.A., good times! The car show was amazing, it was always packed with American cars - vintage and current models. Before they built the mall in the early 90s, the entire area was an industrial wasteland, so they really managed to turn the tables on this one…

Wow...GIV has friends every where he goes 👍

I've never seen a mall that nice.

Great video. Gas is $6.51 US per US gallon for regular here in Central Canada and $7.23 for premium.

Usually there’s at least one non-alcoholic beverage which is cheaper than beer. Mostly it’s (sparkling) water, which is not for free and in Germany you don’t got free refill in most places. Btw: the Centro complex is the biggest mall and amusement complex throughout Europe and it is the biggest mall complex in Europe.

Loved seeing the mall. A lot of American stores & fast food places. Wouldn't get homesick for America in this malls' food court, that's for sure. Hope Mom is doing well. Hugs to Mom & you. xx
