Also sorry for the darkness in my videos sometimes it was more difficult to set up then I thought. And guess what…I bought a 4th laptop and well xD I have to send it back again, it has some issues. I also now think something is wrong with my video files.

France is a shit hole
Amazing Video!
👍👍👍
As a German, 95% of homeless people/ beggars in bigger cities are so by choice.
There are no homeless in medium/small cities.
We really do have enough social programs etc. to help you get back on track. But you also gotta consider that Germany is the biggest melting pot in the world besides the US, so most homeless are usually eastern european/ non europeans that might be here illegally and don't speak the german or english. This probably puts a barrier to just being aware that such programs exist, but in general nobody in any life situation whatsoever has to worry about food and a warm place to stay if they go to such facitlities. They'll also help you find an apartment, job and even give you disposable income.
why Crimea and Novorossiya are a part of the Ukraine on your map? it's all a part of Russia right now
a VERY useful video for a person who doesn’t know where to study in europe
Great video but lose the sarcastic humor, its fucking annoying.
Dutch looks like a French English mixed with German but Sounds like Hebrew…difficult is in it?
Can we have a review on Eastern European countries?
If you want to make money go to North (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark)
But if you want to live go to South (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Cyprus)
Simple as that.
Well you haven't pronounced Enschede properly, so I assume that's why you're still not living there.
In any country, if you're LIVING instead of VISITING, if you don't have a grip on the language, you're well handicapped (like a person walking around with a blindfold).
Did your hair change between Netherlands and Germany?
That ikea hat, omg love it
They truly discover snow every year. OMG. The DB, GOD.
I am German, living in Italy for 25 years now and from a holiday in Paris I remember the rudeness of everybody there. Even the person that rented her flat to us seemed unhappy about the fact that she was renting out her flat. I did not find this rudeness anywhere else. Germany, U.K., Italy, Netherlands, Spain…..never found all those rude people in a short time.
The Netherlands AND GERMANY…..are totally being overwhelmed at the moment with illegal immigrants.
The problem is huge and the burden of this will bring social chaos.
So this is a bad moment to move to these countries even if you are a legal immigrant.
People are simply very very fed up and angry and you will not meet the typical German behaviour or the typical Netherlands behaviour at this point in history as regards to how welcoming or unwelcoming they are to foreigners.
Everything has changed a lot now…..and all for the worse.
Broke: Western Europe
Woke: The Balkans
how about Russia
This continent is the birthplace of every world war.
I was born in czech but lived in netherlands for years before i came to mongolia my national country. I wanna go back there to study and eventually live again so im relearning dutch and studying the programs and unis. Im glad u talked about it
Erika, great job. Loved this information!
G7 has got 7 countries. Chances of con flict 2024 so USA and canada not a great idea. Spain snd Portugal are NOT part of G7 so better than other European countries.
* Learn Portuguese and Spanish ASAP
I laugh at what you think is expensive for medical care in Sweden. Or I cry because the healthcare in the US can bankrupt you, easily. But crying doesn't help here.
"It felt like i lived in some kind of simulation… there were huge mountains and it seems like you are in a game where they block off the area so you don't cross it because there is no game to play any more"… I would have still climbed over, worst case scenario would be to fall through the world and respawn at the starting point.
