Yelled at in Germany 😳 Dating Age Gaps & Flights 🛫 | Q&A in PASSAU!

Here is part ii of my Q&A through Passau, and this part is in English! I realized that this video is much more of a tour than the other one I made and in it you can see the point where the three rivers meet in Passau along with the Oberhaus and the Schaiblingsturm which is in the thumbnail! Some of the questions I answered of course have to do with my exchange but others include bad experiences I’ve had in Germany, flying during COVID times, where to fly when flying into Germany, and more. I hope you all enjoy :)

My name is Montana Showalter, and I was a participant in the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange program in 2019-2020. I started my KZread channel while living in Germany and continue to make videos on German vs American culture. I love finding aspects of German culture in the US as well as producing videos in German as practice! In the future, I hope to live abroad again :)

    The legal age for driving actually throughout Europe is 18. Getting the driver license is way harder here as well. When I talked to a colleague in the US about it (he has never been in Europe) he thought the training and test is for professional driver.

    Basically you can also drive a car at 17 in Germany, but you need somebody who’s older than 30 and also has a drivers license since at least 5 years to ride shotgun (thus typically the parents). Then there‘s also the possibility in Germany to get a drivers license for 125ccm motorcycles, mopeds etc. at 16.

    You clearly felt uncomfortable because you got yelled at and as a German I feel so ashamed.

    I agree yelling is NOT the right way. But I wouldn't want to have my face in some random youtube video either. That's what the EU Privacy and Data Laws are for and in place. You can not record someone without their permission - that is the law. So when someone is filming they have the responsibility to make sure other people are not in the shot or so far away they are unrecognizable. If you do happen to film someone up close you need to blur them in the video. Just my point of view on that matter -Nothing against Montana, she makes wonderful content!

Now, recipies are a good source of learning a language, 'cause you see what the chefs are doing. And the vocabulary to learn is pretty limited. Every single word: one more ingredient. Plus: you will use it anyways, when cooking: instant usage, of what you just learned. Pls feel free to take a look at my profile for more cooking channels. Greetings from the far north of Germany!

    I didn't know that the age gap is such a big thing in the US. Here in central Germany (Sachsen) it is pretty normal to date people which are older or younger than yourself. When it fits, it fits you know? When my wife starts dating me 8 years ago she was 26 and i was 35. She mentioned that the all guys in her age where no usable material especially for conversations. :-) My oldest daughter is 19 now. She chooses a man who is at my age now. But she seems to be very happy with him. So who i'am to say no to my daughter and destroy her little luck? I know this is very uncommon also in Germany but i give a damn about what other people might say.

    Als Passauer weiß ich, daß hier die Salzschiffe von Salzburg kommend festgemacht haben, um Ihre großen Salz-Scheiben auszuladen und daher der Name. Später traf sich in diesem Turm die katholische, studierende Jugend, kurz KSJ genannt, um ihre Gruppenstunden im dieser romantischen Umgebung abzuhalten. Passau ist eine sehr schöne, hoch interessante Weltstadt, denn von hier aus wurde das Ungarnland missioniert und vom Bischhof von Passau aus regiert, der ein großer Fürst-Bischhof war, mit eigenen Ländereien bis ins Böhmische (Tschenland) hinein.

All i can tell you, is that relationships with more mature women are completely different to the ones compared to with similar old or younger ones. Dating older women was refreshing, because they have a completely different perspectives, and interests, aswell as they dont turn jealous or angry once you cant answer their msg's instantly ;) PS: Dunno if its the same with older men, not my territory.

    Hi Montana The yelling thing is a part why Germans are mostly more efficient than others. I discussed it with my English teacher (she is from South Africa and was addicted to the english way of living) and could explain what it means. In Germany we tell people normally straight away what they did wrong. In England or in the US as I have learned you do not "hit the bush" immediately you circle around it many times without really saying who did what in a wrong way. At least at work it is the cultural behaviour at our subsideries. When we are straight on point it will show our colleagues how rude we Germans are when we give advices or sometimes orders to them. Nowadays I try to write more polite and excessive to avoid anger and hurt feelings. The nicer way has advantages too. If you get wrongly shouted at it will create anger and its difficult to find a new start.

    "we tell people normally straight away what they did *wrong* ." Ja.., und genau das ist das Problem. Was "richtig" und was "falsch" ist, das ist sehr subjektiv.. Die Deutsche Art ist konfrontativ, intolerant und anmaßend. Man kann sich nur immer wieder fremdschämen. Die Deutschen hinterfragen einfach nichts. "Untereinander haben sie sich erwürgt und glaubten redlich ihre Pflicht zu tun.

    Another perspective on the Dating Age Gap in Germany is that when you're male your high school years are prone to be miserable. Because of course you'll have a crush on a girl or two from your school, that's what boys this age do. But those girls, they actually _want_ to have boyfriends being at least 3 to 4 years older than themselves. Reason is high school girls assume boys their age to be puerile, immature, and vulgar. And, sadly, that's a fair point. Most boys that age are jerks. But try to convince a girl that you're not. I, for one, never managed to do so in my high school years. Luckily, for me those years are long gone. I don't look back in anger, but I don't look back in nostalgia either.

    Interesting. I watch and subscribe to almost a dozen Germany-related KZread channels (having been stationed there for two years in the Army), and none of those KZreadrs ever seem to have a problem filming. I don't know. Maybe I should take another look at the number of other Germans in their videos. It's possible they're very careful, as you suggested. I plan to visit Germany for the first time in years, and I want to do lots of recording, but I don't want my vacation ruined by confrontations with the locals. Thanks for bringing this to light. As you probably know, here in the U.S. there is no expectation of such privacy when you're out in public. Honestly, I think the best answer lies somewhere in between. For example, if you're on a public street, it should be okay that you're in the scene as a random person walking by or whatever, but not okay if the camera is actually focused on you without your permission.

    yup, but Europe/Germany has a stronger "private rights" law since 2018. The law is named DGSVO / BMWi. Its illegal to film others without permit if you could identify the person and you want to put the videos Online for example. For private use its okay to film everything. Even TV stations start to blur out faces of persons in the background to avoid legal complains. i personaly think its over the top too and many people dont take note of this at all. But if someone whats to sue you or sent you a legal warning letter, they could. Also i think 98% of the people dont even care. But you will always have those 2 % Karens left. There are only a few exceptions from this rule. Panorama rights and filming at public Parades, Parties and similar stuff.

    I've got to be honest for a second, when I saw the title I thought you meant Age Gaps like 2-3 years. And yeah that made sense to me because those are pretty common. I would almost say the guy being a year older than the girl is actually like an unspoken rule because most girl are so much more mature than guys until around thirty (I feel like that's where the maturity starts either evening out or becoming irrelevant in some other way). But as a born and raised German (northern though, don't know maybe that makes a difference) I can unequivocally say that the one girl I do actually know who is dating a guy five years older than herself is considered a major exception by everyone in our shared group of friends. We're still accepting of it but let's just say it was a major piece of gossip for a while regardless. Would never consider a smaller age gap weird though, so maybe I'm hypocritical for that. I think as long as you're in the same phase of your life you'll get by just fine.

If you talk with someone and ask them where they wanna travel and go on vacation to, Germany never makes the list. It's always either America, Spain, Italy or something. But Germany? Never.

The government's answer is to keep adding trillions of more to the national debt and to print more money to keep from defaulting on the debt. The US is bankrupt. It is just a matter of time before the economy collapses, like it did in the Weimar Republic. They are starting to call up the military to assist in the hospitals and schools. It is just the beginning of a military police state
