00:00Jesus guys, you have a lot of questions, huh?
00:04336?
00:06This is gonna take all week to answer.
00:07But hey, I'm glad you wanna know stuff about Germany, Berlin, myself.
00:12I'm gonna try to make this as quick as possible to answer as many as possible.
00:17Let's see how far we can go.
00:19Are you ready?
00:20How many times have you been to Mallorca?
00:22Is it still Spain there?
00:24LOL
00:24I've been once in my life in Mallorca, when I was eight years old probably.
00:29And no, I have never been ever since.
00:32And no, I don't intend to go there ever again.
00:34Because when I go on holiday, I don't wanna see Germans.
00:37You know, that's the point of getting out of Germany, to not see Germans.
00:41But Mallorca is basically the 17th Bundesland and it's not Spain anymore, no.
00:47Why do Germans outside of Bavaria hate Bavaria?
00:50I've been living here for seven months and they're good people.
00:54Well, probably the main reason is because the rest of Germany can't understand a single
00:59word people from Bavaria are saying.
01:02And Bavaria is the richest state of all German states, which makes them a bit arrogant.
01:08You know?
01:09When are you going to party in Munich?
01:11You have promised it.
01:12I know I have promised it.
01:14But after I promised it, there was a lockdown and all the clubs have closed.
01:19And then I was in South America and now I'm back.
01:22As it turns out, I already was there partying.
01:26I just didn't let you know because it was private.
01:29No, I'm just kidding.
01:30I was there last weekend and I partied and I suffered.
01:33And you will see it next week in a video.
01:35If you didn't live in Berlin, where in Germany do you see yourself living?
01:39Hamburg, Munich or Frankfurt?
01:41And oh, what is the thing you like the most about your country?
01:45To be honest, I have lived in a few different cities in Germany.
01:50I've lived in Heidelberg, in Kassel, in Heilbronn.
01:53I was many, many times in Frankfurt and Munich and Hamburg.
01:57But I couldn't imagine living anywhere else but Berlin if I would live in Germany.
02:03The rest of Germany is very uptight, very conservative, not open-minded at all.
02:10It's just not an environment I want to live in.
02:13Ah, and what is the thing you like most about your country?
02:16It's the bread.
02:18It's the bread.
02:19The bread is the best.
02:21When I am abroad, there's nothing else I miss about Germany.
02:25It's only the bread.
02:27And that doesn't mean Germany is the only country that makes great bread.
02:31There are other countries, but very few.
02:33France makes great bread.
02:35Italy, bread is also alright.
02:37Other than that, you won't find good bread.
02:39Berlin is my favorite place.
02:41You really capture the vibe of the city.
02:43What are your favorite places to eat?
02:45Berlin has so many great restaurants.
02:48It's insane.
02:50There are so many in each district.
02:51And mentioning them all here in this video is way too much.
02:54So it's gonna take forever.
02:56I'm gonna make a map for you guys to see which are my favorite restaurants here.
03:01And then you can try and check them out.
03:04I'll let you know when it's finished.
03:06Why is the Matrix the best Berlin nightclub?
03:09Because you can go there with the age of 16, obviously.
03:13And of course, because you will not encounter a single person from Berlin.
03:18Which is great because they are always in a bad mood.
03:21Yeah?
03:22Where else would you live if Berlin wasn't an option?
03:25Certainly in Tokyo or some other place in Japan.
03:29Japan is by far my favorite country on the whole planet.
03:32I've spent six months of my life there.
03:35And I want to spend as much time there as possible.
03:38But living there is not an option at the moment.
03:40Because I'm too poor for that.
03:43And the second option would be Peru.
03:45I was in Peru this year the first time.
03:48I absolutely loved it.
03:50Every minute of it.
03:51The people, the food, the landscapes.
03:53It's like everything's great.
03:55And the third option would be probably Australia.
03:58They have great beaches.
03:59A laid back way of life.
04:02And also big cities.
04:03Which I like.
04:04What did you do before you became a YouTuber?
04:07Tell us about your experience as a YouTuber.
04:12Before I became a YouTuber.
04:14I mean after school I studied biology.
04:16But I never worked as a biologist.
04:18I love science.
04:19I tell you that.
04:20I love biology.
04:21But thinking about it, you know.
04:23If you want to achieve anything in science.
04:26You have to do the masters.
04:28You have to do the doctors.
04:29Then your postdoc for who knows how many years.
04:32And then you need to work somewhere.
04:34For at least a couple of years.
04:36To be in a position.
04:37Where you can actually do your own research.
04:40That you want to do.
04:41If you're lucky.
04:42Yeah.
04:42At that point you're in the end of your 30s.
04:45And that's the first time you kind of make some money.
04:48I didn't see myself there.
04:50This path is too long.
04:54And too.
04:55Yeah.
04:56My passion for science was not that big.
04:59That I could.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Imagine myself.
05:02Working in a lab.
05:04Doing the same things over and over again.
05:06You know.
05:06You feel like a trained monkey.
05:09A highly trained monkey.
05:10Because you run GILs.
05:12You do PCRs.
05:13You do like.
05:14Yeah.
05:15Cloning.
05:15After I finished my bachelor in biology.
05:18I went straight to Bali.
05:20I lived for three years in Bali.
05:22From 2013 to 2016.
05:27And my brother was already living there.
05:29And he had like a small hotel there.
05:31With like 20 rooms.
05:32And he tried to expand that.
05:34And I was helping him there.
05:36For like two years.
05:38I started making my first really bad videos there.
05:42But then I didn't want to stay in Bali.
05:44Because it's a very small island.
05:45And I was in my early 20s.
05:48And I wanted to have some action.
05:50So I came to Berlin.
05:52And there's plenty of action here.
05:59And when I got to Berlin.
06:00The nightlife year.
06:01It like sucked me in.
06:03Like phew.
06:05For two years.
06:06I was not doing much else than partying.
06:09Like I didn't have a job.
06:12I was like freelancing.
06:13So I had a lot of time.
06:15I was partying three or four.
06:18Sometimes five times a week.
06:19It was.
06:20It was crazy.
06:21To be honest.
06:22I don't know how I survived that time.
06:25And my experience as a YouTuber.
06:29I'm telling you.
06:30It's very lonely.
06:31I mean.
06:32If you are in a YouTube team.
06:35If you have other people you work with.
06:37I think that's a great thing.
06:38But I am most of the time alone.
06:41The only time I shoot with other people is.
06:43If I ask my friends to play a role.
06:46Or I collaborate with other people.
06:48But other than that.
06:49I'm basically most of the time alone.
06:52I do everything myself.
06:53I film.
06:54I script.
06:54I edit.
06:55So I'm very socially anxious now.
06:58Every time I meet someone.
07:00Who is also into making videos.
07:02I enjoy it very much.
07:03And I want to do more of that.
07:05I hope.
07:06I can find more people to collaborate with.
07:09And it's a very weird situation.
07:11That in Berlin.
07:12There are so little YouTubers.
07:15Doing English content.
07:16I mean.
07:16There's a lot of YouTubers.
07:17Who do German content.
07:19In Berlin.
07:20Very few people do English stuff.
07:21Like.
07:22It's weird.
07:23Such a huge expat community.
07:25And if you know anyone.
07:27Who is from Berlin.
07:28Who is living in Berlin.
07:29As an expat.
07:30And I didn't discover them yet.
07:32And you think it would be a great.
07:34Collaboration.
07:35Opportunity.
07:36Please let me know.
07:37What is the easiest way.
07:39To get a date in Berlin.
07:42Tinder.
07:43Or.
07:44Just skip the date.
07:46And go to KitKat.
07:47Easy.
07:47Why do Germans love bread?
07:52Because it's the best thing.
07:54Humankind.
07:55Ever invented to eat.
07:56That's why.
07:57And I mean.
07:58If you are not from.
07:59The middle of Europe.
08:00You don't know what real bread is.
08:03I've been to Asia.
08:04I've been to Latin America.
08:05And.
08:06They.
08:07Don't know what bread is.
08:08The bread they sell there.
08:10They may call it bread.
08:11But it's not bread.
08:12The bread people sell in these places.
08:15Shouldn't be called bread.
08:16Because it's not.
08:17It's sweet.
08:18It's.
08:18Too soft.
08:20It's.
08:20Too sugary.
08:21It's disgusting.
08:22It's just disgusting.
08:24If you buy bread in Asia.
08:26That's not bread.
08:27It's like.
08:28It's a cake.
08:30It's a fucking cake.
08:31So.
08:32Yeah.
08:32No bread.
08:33No life.
08:34What are your favorite cities around Europe?
08:37Alright.
08:38I love.
08:39Budapest.
08:40Lisbon.
08:41Odessa.
08:43And.
08:43London.
08:44London.
08:44And I like the area around.
08:47Cote d'Azur.
08:48So beautiful.
08:48I would love to live in all of those places for a couple of months.
08:51Certainly.
08:52Are you going to do another collab with now?
08:56Oh yes.
08:57Most certainly.
08:58In October.
09:00We are probably going to meet up again.
09:02And then we are.
09:03Trying to shoot as many collabs as possible.
09:07Not just one.
09:07Which is the best bank for digital nomads?
09:10It's called Bitcoin.
09:12Bitcoin is the best bank for digital nomads.
09:15And for everyone else too.
09:17What's your most crazy Berlin party story?
09:20I wish I could share these stories here on YouTube.
09:23But some things should stay in the dark.
09:27And not come to the light.
09:29If you ever meet me I will tell you the story in person.
09:33But this is not for the internet.
09:36What happens in the Berlin clubs should stay in the Berlin clubs.
09:40But I promise you if you come and party here you will find a lot of crazy.
09:45Why are Germans so angry and shouting?
09:48Because people keep calling bread when it is not bread.
09:52That's why they sell bread but it's not bread.
09:55And it makes me angry.
09:58Is two years enough to experience Berlin?
10:01Well it depends.
10:03If you have a job.
10:05And you work eight hours a day.
10:07It's certainly not enough.
10:09Then you need much more time than that.
10:11But if you do not work.
10:12And you have all the time.
10:14The whole week.
10:15In two years.
10:16Not doing anything but exploring Berlin.
10:18You will have enough time to see almost everything I guess.
10:21What is the strangest thing you have noticed.
10:24In a culture outside Germany.
10:26There is so many things.
10:28The cock fighting in Indonesia.
10:30The host clubs in Japan.
10:33The eating live octopus in Korea.
10:36Generally the food in Colombia.
10:38But the strangest thing would probably be this region in Indonesia.
10:43Where they don't bury their bed.
10:46But they mummify them.
10:48And put them in some spots in their house.
10:51And in the village.
10:52And then you have like the grandpa.
10:55Who is dead already for 20 years.
10:58He is just sitting on his chair mummified.
11:00You have these dead people.
11:02Just hanging around in the village.
11:05And that must be probably the strangest thing.
11:08But if you have any more strange things to share.
11:10I would appreciate reading them in the comments.
11:13So let me know.
11:14Do you make your outfits.
11:16Or do you find pieces.
11:17Throw them together and work it.
11:19Where are your favorite places to shop for unique clothing in Berlin.
11:23I wish I could make my own outfits.
11:25I mean I could.
11:26But it takes a lot of time.
11:28I know that.
11:28I just don't have the patience for that.
11:31But I respect everyone who does their own outfits.
11:34Props to you.
11:35And I think more than 70% of my outfits.
11:37I got in second hand shops in Berlin.
11:40Or at the flea market.
11:42And of course a few ones from select designer shops.
11:46I guess.
11:46But nothing I would go regularly to.
11:49Do you still party as much.
11:51As hard.
11:52As often.
11:52Now that Covid is kind of over.
11:55Also do you see new generations of Berliners.
11:57Do they seem different.
11:59Or is everybody just weird.
12:00In their own way.
12:01Well I don't party as much as before.
12:04And I probably would never will again.
12:07I'm just getting too old for this.
12:10And the hangover is not until Monday or Tuesday anymore.
12:14It's ranging until Wednesday or Thursday.
12:17So I think that's just coming with age.
12:20So I wish I could party as hard as I did.
12:23But it's just not feasible anymore.
12:25So nowadays where you will find me.
12:27Is not a normal club at a normal event.
12:30But I will go usually to a like specific event.
12:35Where you have to dress up in a costume or something.
12:37Because I think it's just much more fun.
12:39If everybody is dressed in a crazy costume.
12:42Or a fetish outfit.
12:43It makes the whole experience much more surreal and fun.
12:47In my opinion.
12:48Now how is the new generation different?
12:50What I've seen in the difference is.
12:53That the younger generation takes much more drugs.
12:57And additionally doesn't know how to handle them.
13:01So that's a little bit concerning.
13:04East or West Berlin?
13:05Of course East Berlin.
13:07Which cities would you recommend for students in Germany?
13:10I would recommend a city that is not too big.
13:13Where the amount of students in relation to the rest of the population in the city.
13:18Is very big.
13:20So Heidelberg for example.
13:21I was studying there for a year.
13:24Has a population of 120.000 people.
13:27And the universities have 30 to 40.000 students.
13:31So that's a very big chunk of students in the city.
13:35And it makes the city very alive.
13:38If you want to experience the German culture.
13:41You should also choose a city which is not Berlin.
13:45Because you will not experience any German culture here.
13:48So I would recommend going to Heidelberg.
13:51Münster.
13:53Tübingen.
13:54Leipzig.
13:55And Kassel.
13:56Kassel is a city where I did my bachelor.
13:58And it's a great city for students.
14:00Everything is super cheap.
14:01Rent there is like one of the cheapest in all Germany.
14:04You can get a huge flat for nothing.
14:06I wouldn't recommend to come to Berlin for studying.
14:09Because there are so many possibilities on stuff to do.
14:13You won't get to actually study.
14:16Because you want to do all the other things.
14:19What do Germans think about Thinland?
14:21We love you.
14:22We love you too.
14:24I'm getting crazy guys.
14:25Say something in German that no one except a German would understand.
14:30Lelebeble.
14:31What do you do for maintaining your hair like that?
14:34What do you mean?
14:35What's with my hair?
14:42I mean I wash it once in a while.
14:45You should try it.
14:46It's great.
14:47How many times did you encounter crime in Berlin?
14:51Never.
14:52I am the criminal.
14:53Not a little one.
14:54No actually I can't think of anything criminal I have encountered.
15:00Except drug related crime I guess.
15:02Which you encounter almost every day.
15:05Well I have seen the result of crime happening a lot.
15:08Like burning cars.
15:09You see that almost every day.
15:11But never actually the event.
15:13You know.
15:13Berlin is very safe.
15:15I would say.
15:16Especially coming from South America.
15:17You know.
15:17If you had a time machine.
15:20Which historically figure would you go back and kill?
15:23Well.
15:24I wouldn't kill anyone.
15:26Because that would trigger the grandfather paradox.
15:30And then I would never be born.
15:33Gotcha.
15:33Which is your favorite kebab in Berlin?
15:37There are so many good kebabs.
15:39Most of them are in Neukölln.
15:41I will not tell you.
15:42Because then all of you will go there.
15:44And then I have to queue up for them.
15:46So.
15:47They are gonna stay secret.
15:49Hehe.
15:50How do you keep a productive routine?
15:52Because I heard that people are not really about productivity in cities.
15:55Especially Berlin with all those parties and stuff.
15:58But this is one of the biggest issues for me.
16:01To have a productive routine.
16:03Because I very much don't have one.
16:06And I've been trying to build one for years.
16:09But it's impossible.
16:12There's people who like order.
16:14And they stick to their plan.
16:16But I make a plan.
16:18In the evening I make a plan.
16:19On what I want to do the next day.
16:21But the next day I don't look at the list.
16:22So.
16:23It's all chaos.
16:24What's the attitude of Germans towards other nationalities?
16:27Do non-Germans deal with discrimination?
16:30When they want to rent a flat.
16:32Find a job.
16:33Or build a career.
16:34I have many friends who are not looking like Germans.
16:38They were born here.
16:39But they are from Turkey.
16:41Or from Sri Lanka.
16:43Or other parts.
16:45They face a lot of discrimination.
16:47Yes.
16:47Because of their names.
16:49Because of their skin color.
16:51Especially when it comes to looking for a flat.
16:55They have a very hard time.
16:56They always tell me.
16:57Especially in the countryside.
16:59Not so much when they are looking for a job.
17:01Professionally wise.
17:03It does occur.
17:05Yeah for sure.
17:06But much much less.
17:07And I think the qualification is more important.
17:10Than anything else here.
17:12If you do the job better than a German.
17:14You will get a job.
17:16But if you are from another European country.
17:19Like France, Sweden, Spain, Italy.
17:21I don't think there's a difference there.
17:23They get treated the same.
17:25What's the best way for a woman to ask out a German man?
17:30Hey you.
17:31Nice ass.
17:32You wanna go for a coffee?
17:34That's it.
17:35No man will say no to this.
17:38Do you own a car?
17:39And do you need a car?
17:40Or want a car?
17:41I don't own a car.
17:42And in Berlin you don't really need a car.
17:44Because there's public transport everywhere.
17:47It's very good.
17:49It's very cheap.
17:49Of course I would like to have a car at some point.
17:52But then again in Berlin you have to look for parking spaces.
17:56Which costs you two hours a day if you drive somewhere.
17:59So yeah.
18:01If I move anywhere else I will get a car.
18:03But not before.
18:04What would be the German equivalent of diluting wine with water in France?
18:09The equivalent would be to put Coca-Cola in wine.
18:13Which I know that some countries are doing it.
18:16And Germans are like what the hell are these people doing to the wine?
18:21Because if you put water into the wine it just dilutes it.
18:24You can still taste it.
18:25But if you put Coke into the wine you can't even taste the wine anymore.
18:29Like what the hell is that?
18:31Why are most German drinks carbonated?
18:34Because it's more refreshing.
18:36What would you recommend for someone from Latam who will go to your country in the next month?
18:42I would advise you to bring a lot of condoms.
18:45German women are crazy for Latin guys.
18:49I want to ask you what equipment you use for your vlogging.
18:53Well I use this camera.
18:55The Sony A7S III.
18:57I love this camera.
18:59It's like it's the dream of a camera.
19:01Until the beginning of 2021 I was using a very cheap Panasonic Lumix F300.
19:08And it was like 400 euro.
19:11And this saves me so much time.
19:14In editing, color correction, setting up the lights.
19:17Despite what all the other YouTubers are telling you.
19:20The camera is the last thing you should save money on.
19:23This right here is my second camera.
19:25I was using it on the road when I was in South America.
19:29Because it's a little bit more compact and cheaper.
19:32But it's also a great camera.
19:33And this one is the Sony A7C.
19:36It was a great camera on the road.
19:38And I love it.
19:40But I think if you're serious about YouTube and you're just starting out.
19:45Like this is the perfect camera to start with.
19:48With a good quality.
19:49I don't think there's another one with the same price value relation as this one.
19:54And then of course this Manfrotto super lightweight tripod.
20:00Never failed me.
20:01I don't want to carry too much around.
20:02So I can put this in my backpack on the side.
20:06Very good.
20:06What is your best experience as a YouTuber or living in Germany with your lifestyle?
20:11The best thing about being a YouTuber is that I'm not location dependent.
20:16And nobody tells me what to do.
20:18Except for the algorithm.
20:20If I don't satisfy the algorithm.
20:23Then I will starve.
20:24So, please algorithm.
20:25Bless me.
20:26I pray that I will never fall asleep.
20:29Tell us something about student life.
20:32Student life is great.
20:34You don't want to join the workforce.
20:37Because then you will work.
20:39You will have to pay taxes.
20:40And you will have a 9 to 5.
20:41Or 24-7 like I am.
20:44So, enjoy student life as long as you can.
20:46Life sucks.
20:47If you could meet anyone in this world today.
20:49Who would you meet?
20:51Of course, Belle Delphine was his question.
20:54No, just kidding.
20:55It would be of course, Elon Musk.
20:57In KitKat.
20:58And he was there.
20:59And I'm going there every weekend.
21:00Until I die.
21:02Just to meet him there the next time.
21:04Waiting for you, Elon.
21:05Don't disappoint me.
21:11No, but actually.
21:13There's another person I would like to meet more.
21:15But you probably never heard of him.
21:17His name is Aubrey de Grey.
21:19And he's one of the leading scientists.
21:22Doing aging research.
21:24And he's just an awesome dude.
21:26Is there intelligent life outside our solar system?
21:29Yes, most likely.
21:30What are the three big things Germans want to change in their country?
21:34We want to change the bureaucracy.
21:36We want to change the slow internet.
21:39And the general digitalization.
21:41Everything is still on paper.
21:43And it's so bad.
21:44And of course, world leadership.
21:46Why don't you move to Switzerland?
21:49Because I am not a millionaire.
21:51And I probably will not be one soon.
21:54And a cab up in Switzerland costs like 16 euro.
21:58And I will starve there.
22:01That's why.
22:03I think this is enough questions for today.
22:06We didn't even make it halfway through.
22:09But that's how it is.
22:11And if you made it this far into the video.
22:13Just let me tell you.
22:15You are awesome.
22:17And I'm very happy to have you here.
22:19I really enjoy interacting with many of you in the comments.
22:22And meeting some of you on the streets.
22:24And yeah.
22:24Have a great day everyone.
22:26See you in the next video.
22:28In Munich.
