My First Week as an exchange student in Germany!

[krankerkarpfen]

imo: carneval is the most senseless celebration in germany... because you shall live in abstinence the next 40(?) days. but nearly nobody do that!

[deinemudderausmdorf]

damn you aussie girls are adorable

[johndoe3k5]

You had my thumbs up at the wrong side of the road :D

[Youmix93]

America is so awsome... I want to travel to the USA

[Ratskeller1896]

" i didnt have one sausage yet "

weeell.... to me thats sounds kinda horny.

[videos22333]

ok i heard enough "likes" for the rest of my life. thank you :-)

[AimAim77]

I think you're so cute, it really helped me to understand my exchange student better. But I found it weird that you called Duesseldorf a main city in Germany.... you seem really nice though.

[d34d10ck]

lol

Absolutely hilarious, that after just a few days you already know the German word for retard.

[viggizi]

Hey Lily! I really don't know you, but I just saw your blog randomly and I really like watching your videos and listening to what you say. As so. who's in Germany for the first time, you report in a very direct and honest way, that's so great! Yeah and you seem to be an open and very friendly person, so I hope you could enjoy your stay and that this was also a great experience for you full of beautiful memories. Yeah, should you ever be near Vienna/Austria, you are invited to come by. Really ,)

[f33LtHeP0w3R]

No offense, you're beautiful but you really have to reduce ur "like" habit :) it gets annoying after about 4 min to me. Hope u had a great time in germany tho (:

[gerphilofsudenburg]

actually Karneval is an old celebration to drive out the winter with colorouful costumes and noise. at the emergence of the catholic church, the church just told people to have fun and enjoy meat ( if there were any ) before the beginning of the fasten time prior to easter. Carne = meat , Valis = festival.

thats why actually people celebrate it.

[Ididnthaveaname]

Next time: Cut these fuc*ing "Like" 's out,

[Subbuteofan]

She lives in St. Tönis or Tönisvorst, which is near Mönchengladbach if I got that right.. Quite a cool area 8) Visit a football match while you're here..

Interesting video. Like it. :)

[CestNunu]

where do you live in germany ?

[Verhoeven1980]

@CestNunu

Watch the video again. She mentioned Düsseldorf.

[Budgeras]

hope you'd a great time here in germany! :)

[MissAllAndNothing]

your accent changed during your time in germany. :D thats pretty funny to hear. ;)

[SteinbrecherBack]

@germanlil Nothing to do with Napoleon... really... never did. (Did you think that because of the late Early Modern uniforms the members of "Gardistenvereine" wear? Those weren't exclusive to the French...)

[SteinbrecherBack]

@germanlil Every Catholic knows what Carnival is about. ;)

It's the "party time" before the beginning of Lent, where you're not supposed to do those things... but since everyone does it anyway, the partying and nonsense becomes more extreme during Carnival. Why you probably don't know about it: England became Protestant, the English settled in Australia (after it wasn't a prison colony anymore :p) and (at least most) Protestants don't have Lent season.

[xXMeanBusterXx]

My dear, the gist of carneval is getting drunk and layed. :D

[xXMeanBusterXx]

Düsseldorf? Shame on you! Köln ♥

[bip01]

Just saw your newest video. Apparently you avoided getting pregnant. Congrats :D

[RiesenWuschel]

If u fear u might miss out sausages try the south. Especially bavaria. That's where those stereotypes come from... but don't u dare think bavaria is part of germany! Bayern ist Ausland! (Baden aber eigentlich auch... Badenser...) ò.ó ;p

U're sympathic... i'd so love to visit Australia... >.<

[BORATITSNIIICE]

@RiesenWuschel bavaria is a part of germany stupid ass

[RiesenWuschel]

@BORATITSNIIICE Sure bout that? Ask the rest of Germany, and since u don't get it: It's called teasing and is actually subtle humour (>>> As in 'JOKE', get it?). Shut ur dirty mouth if cussing's the only thing ur capable of.

[FSpilles]

There is no point in Karneval! You just got to get crazyyyy!!!!!

[highfive96]

A lot of Germans outside of NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia) don't get the point of "Karneval" as well (as mentioned).. and only in NRW you dont have to go to work on these days... imo people just take it as a reason to get drunk and behave badly... but thats just my opinion as a northern german.. never understood the whole point of Karneval at all...

[OriginalSliz]

@highfive96 the point is to get wasted and behave bad and have an excuse for it because its karneval.

[JumpingCookie95]

Did you say on 2:11 Autobahn? :D

[HesseJamez]

hairs of an angel

[jamisacnr]

ur cute

[HesseJamez]

You look more German than most of us *lol* - you're very pretty btw.

[Milkpaw]

sry, how r u an exchange student without knowing german?? can you explain this some? and i think carnival is sort of like mardi gras/fat tuesday?? not sure... :)

[Milkpaw]

you look a lot like my sister... :) its random, but you do.

[nyhsen]

spasti, das sollte man auf jeden drauf haben :D wünsche noch einen guten aufenthalt,und hoffe du kannst viel schönes berichten!

[IllyBidol]

@nyhsen

Hoffentlich wirst Du nicht mal zum Spastiker. Das kann schneller kommen als man denkst.

Mit 25 noch so kleingeistig. Einfach armselig.

[hardstyle905]

@IllyBidol @nyhsen

Ich hab mich gerade so über eure beiden Kommentare kaputtgelacht XD. Bin ich auch armselig? :D

[Varus78]

you talk to fast for my poor english knowledge

[SGTSOULTAK3R]

Hey im thinking about going to Germany as exchange students. Like whats it like? Is hard since you dont understand german or is there like guides?

[chabi3000]

@SGTSOULTAK3R believe me its not worth it . i live in germany and i can say i would trade with you anytime . its like the boring version of the usa . kinda . and if you are able to speak english its easy to get along . almost anyone under 35 is able to speak at least basic english . if you want to know more talk to me fella !

[dumaanika]

wow you really think German school is more relaxed than Australian ones? I went to an Australian school for six weeks and I thought school there was more relaxed, because you just get marks for things you write and not the things you say.

But I can understand that it was scary driving on the "wrong side" of the road. I felt that way too :)

[GhostGamer999]

YOU HAVE A CUTE NOSE...: )

[gr33nvisi0n]

"wrong side of the road"???? the majority of this world drives on the right side so i think that's more likely the right side :D

[germanlil]

@gr33nvisi0n I live in Australia.. hence its the wrong side of the rode for me :)

[Ickerbocker]

@germanlil

well from my point of view you also live on the wrong side of the planet :D.

[germanlil]

@Ickerbocker well from my point of view you need to chill your beans

[Ickerbocker]

@germanlil

No offense I was just joking, didn't you hear many jokes about your country in germany?^^ We hear a lot too if we go to France or Italy. It is very helpful to know some insults about our neighbours especially if you are perhaps going to watch football games^

[zZMizzerBoogsZz]

@germanlil im from spain so ill warm my beans instead



[gastfreund76]

@Ickerbocker Wow, what a stupid comment.

[Ickerbocker]

@gastfreund76

Oh i don't think so.

[Soundtwistaa]

@Ickerbocker trolling around like a fucking troll?!

[realFlap]

"becoming pregnant is strictly against the rules" :D haha

[Wolf9656]

the point of carneval is: having fun :D

[Gettika1985]

DON´t become pregnant. one of the main rules...! :D

[smilingKiwiXD]

lol, the most people who watched this video are german:D

Oh, and the carnival in colonge is really the best one ! ;)

[TheBellinchen]

xD sieht echt wie ne deutsche Wohnung aus !

[TheAvestor]

I hope you had a great time in germany, and no not everyone of us has such cars like you told us ;D

[PemuMaxx]

Your video is so funny! :) I hope you have a great time here :D

[redheadedbum12]

the funny parade you were describing is called "fasching"... I don't know if they have anything like it in australia, but in the USA it's Mardi Gras or Fat tuesday... It's just a celebration before Lent (catholic holiday where everyone gives up something, auf deutsch "fastenzeit") where everyone eats and dances a lot...

[crutSis]

@redheadedbum12 ...and they drink much beer ;D Best Karneval is in Cologne!!

[ihearthaving69]

You should be consuming numerous German sausages. Of all varieties...

[Darwyn3000]

the 'YEAHHHH' at 9:33 is cool XD
