I Wish I Knew These BEFORE I Visited Hamburg, Germany!

America voted Trump in, and the world suffers, there are more guns than people, the highest mortality for children is gunshots, poor people are treated like trash, and you get upset by a gunfight in a land that worships guns. Grow up!

The America section is kind of old and needs an update. The newer sections are better. You missed the newest part in the other building. There is South America. You should have seen the carneval in Rio De Janeiro.

Next time you visit a foreign city or country better find out about the laws.
There wasn't any need at all to force your poor dog to wear a muzzle.
Or did you want to punish your little dog for something? Maybe for attacking and killing that elephant bull the other day?
As a matter of fairness the two of you should move around a few days wearing muzzles by yourself.

Only for certain races of dogs, considered to be dangerous, like American Staffs or pitbulls it's mandatory.
Didn't you mention that almost no other dog was wearing this bs in Germany?
Tells a lot about your attentiveness. Shure you are the right persons to make videos like this one?

21:31 "There's always more bad than good. If you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, travel across it". Sorry but that's incredibly ignorant. If I want to know a country, I'll watch news and read up on its history. Pretty views are worthless if people are treated inhumanely and are turning on each other with hatred, fueled by an increasingly plutocratic system. You're essentially saying American scenery is lovable, not so much the reality of living in said country, which to be fair, is the reality for the US. Funnily enough, you don't seem to recognise this and instead take offence at the realistic portrayal of your country

History class, literature, state sponsored, historically accurate TV shows and movies are for learning the history. Reminders of history are omnipresent - you're literally stumbling across markers of NS persecution all over Germany (over 116.000 such stumbling stones). Memorials are tiny top ups. We are well aware of our history - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Sorry, but I don’t find it very appropriate for these comments to come from a US citizen on their first visit to Germany… Love and peace from Europe 🇪🇺

To complain about insufficient 'blame yourself'-memorials and at the same time being offended by a shooting scene in the museum, does not fit together. I guess you need to calibrate your (self)perception. There are more than enough self-blame-memorials in Germany - more than in any other country. And when I was in the USA so far, I would never ever have thought about complaining about missing memorials for murdered native Americans or victims all over the world for US- 'regime changes' ... but maybe that was because you were like you say 'the good guys'.

Witzig, das man einen Roadtrip entlang der Ostküste empfiehlt. Ich empfehle den beiden ein Trip durch Tennessee und den Appalachen. Könnte sehr lehrreich sein, was die Realität in den USA betrifft. Und das meine ich nicht bösartig.

Die USA stehen für Waffenbesitz, daraus resultiert, die meisten Toten durch Amokläufer und Bandenkriege. Das ist die realität. Es werden im Miniaturwunderland typische Landabstriche gezeigt, das macht es so interessant. Friede Freude Eierkuchen gibt es im Disneyland.

Man, es ist soch nur ein belegtes Brötchen mit Fisch, für zwischendurch, das hat mit Gourmet Küche nichts zu tun. 😢😢😢😢😢

Man tut sich immer schwer mit einer Vergangenheit die grausam war, siehe die USA mit deren Vergangenheit, der Umgang mit seinen Ureinwohner und der Sklaverei.

Nur Kampfhunde müssen einen Maulkorb tragen. Ihr Hund nicht.

As a foreign National living in Hamburg, I think your view of the City doesn't do it a lot of Justice and it feels rushed.

20:30 I’m sorry, but the criticism of MW here is not fair.
Maybe more information beforehand and a bit of reflection after would have helped your understanding of context a little better.

The people working in MW are giving every country they portray a fair shot: they show the beauty of the place and model beautiful, whimsical stories of people being nice and having good times with the figures, but they also don’t shy away from showing the not so nice parts of life. Be it good or bad, they try to portray a place with all its peculiarities.

They opened in 2001, the US is part of the first addition, opened in 2002. How were they supposed to portray every single part of a country as big as continent? Yeah, they left out the parts that Americans literally call “flyover states” and went from the West Coast straight to Florida, so what? They even had to cut down Monaco, one of the smallest countries on Earth.

It was not foreseeable in the early years of this model trainset that it would become THIS MASSIVE.

To be fair to you two: you probably had a long day and were a bit tired, a bit done for the day. Going there when it’s this busy, with a dog, probably didn’t help. But that is not MWs fault.

I usually enjoy your videos of the different places you go to, but I do have the feeling that this isn’t your best work and that you did not give Hamburg the fair shot it deserves. There are myriad of reasons why that might be the case. It was obvious from the beginning of the video, that you had little to no understanding of the character of Hamburg, but I didn’t expect it to play out like this.

Now, regarding your criticism of the bunker and the memorial to German and Hamburg history and its location. Well, it doesn't matter where it stands because every German receives a very detailed education in school about this period, the dark era of German history, covering political, psychological, and military events. This is something only Americans are taught when they talk about history and battles. And this isn't just for one or two years, but throughout their entire school career! Don't forget this when you talk to Germans, because they have a much broader knowledge and background understanding than you do. I just wanted to say that they don't care where the memorial is located, as long as there is one there, so that it isn't forgotten.

Well, in the miniature museum, the Swiss produce chocolate (you have to press a buttton), the Americans produce gunfights. This might be less of a surprise even to Americans at this point in history. So think about it.
Btw, Landungsbrücken in Hamburg - you hit the biggest tourist trap in town, perhaps aside from the red light district. Other than that, I really liked your thoughts about theThird Reich history. That bunker used to be an eyesore for fifty years before they decided to spruce it up.

Very interesting your video, especially as I just yesterday saw your very nice video about Belgium and in comparison this one about Hamburg. What a difference. Either you did not like Hamburg (means you did not get to know it at all) or you were only there for one or two nights... and only "auf St.Pauli".
Hamburg is the second biggest city in Germany and has the biggest density of Millionaires and funds and on the other hand some really poor areas, but is full of parks and Green with happenings there all the time. People love to be outside, cycling and walking and on the other hand are fussy about the "typical" rainy weather (Schmuddelwetter) which, as you can see in the video, is a legend as it rains more in Munich than in Hamburg. It is this strong contrast and the very lovable attitude and friendliness of the people that make it special. We always call the city a collection of villages with lots of waterways, lakes and more bridges than Venice, it has the third biggest harbour in Europe (connected to a vast industrial history) and the largest cemetary in the world. The Hamburger (hear hear) was invented here (true! as food for harbourworkers), so Fischbrötchen and Franzbrötchen are not the most famous dish.
I could make a long list, but just a few points: it is a pity that you did not mention the Binnen- and Außenalster, Blankenese, the Elbphilharmonie, that Hamburg is after London and New York the third Musical-capitol of the world, Bismarck came from here and it was founded by Wikings and was in big parts Danish until the mid nineteen-hundreds (Altona/Ottensen) and is probably the sports-capitol of Germany (the oldest german football-club HSV comes from here and one of the worldwide best known, the FC St.Pauli).
I love it and, yes, it's history is really relevant, but Dresden for instance suffered more damage in WW2. Hitler did not like to be there, because there was a lot of resistance. This is part of its DNA until today and has filled books.
Hamburg is my favourite place in Germany, I loved it there and I do not like to see it reduced to the St.Pauli-Bunker, Fischbrötchen and the Miniatur-Wunderland (which truly is a wonderful place). But here is the point: you cannot judge a place without at least meeting some people from there and having talked to them. You should have at least asked for Gerrit or Frederic Braun, the founders of the Wunderland and you would have met two really true Hamburgians in their heart.

Cry me a River

So the food at the city's most touristy fish sandwich shop in town was just mediocre? I'm shocked.

Issues? America is cooked. Gun laws, education, politics. The country is nice, most of the people are a problem. Sorry but america has done nothing in the last 10 years to change my mind

Typical american. Just the ugly tourist spots. Nothing of the real beauty of Hamburg. Very good. Please keep it that way, we love our city not to be overrun by tourists ;)

03:20 That is not carneval 😮 That is The DOM, a big Kirmes/ Jahrmarkt/ fair.

The shootout is how the world sees the United States, its embarrassing how we are viewed in the worlds eye!

You have been to Hamburg? Damn, I missed you! I'm a Czech woman living in Hamburg for almost 10 years. Had I known you are about to visit, I would have given you a tour through the best places...

I hope you had a good time at Hamburg :)

We know our History in Germany. Do you know yours?

Oh, there are many "events" going on in the Miniaturwunderland in many countries, just they are sometimes not operated all the time or not too obvious. There are apartment fires, bank robberies, underground drug labs, car crashes, police investigations about a dead body found in the water, this and that.

Your videos thrive on and through your endearing personality.
