Welcome Willkommen Aloha Earthling, Erdenbürger, Ha!!! Wo dein Herz ist bist auch du, und es kann so vielseitig sein wie ein Eintopf. Selbst bin Deutsches Nordlicht als Legaler Alien der USA auf Hawaiianen Land... Ich bin glücklich hier!... Auch wenn ich meine Buchstabensuppe hier und da mal vermisse... :)
Rewboss ich bin auch Ausländer, eben nur mit dem Unterschied das ich in deinem Heimatland wohne. Leute drehen sich nach mir um, tuscheln sich gegenseitig ins Ohr und schauen sich vorsichtig um wie weit/nahe sie von mir entfernt stehen, dass ich ja nicht höre was sie sagen.
Juhu ich kann auf Deutsch fluchen und keiner kann sauer werden weil sie es nicht verstehen ;-)
Great video, Andrew! I like the positive assertion "life is good". Yes, it's not just the UK that has changed; the entire globe is succumbing to totalitarian elitism. Thus the push for one world currency and one world government. However, we can be happy and content if we choose to be. The good friends you have made, the people you love, your family, these are the things of happiness. Thanks for another great video, sir! Hope to see more!
Nice. But one thing struck me as a surprise: you wrote the land of your birth has changed beyond recognition. Could you please say something explanatory about that? See, being born in a socialist atheist country (GDR) which was simply "usurped" by the "enemy brother" state and now is capitalist christian, I would not have expected somebody from, say the UK, make such a statement as you did. I'm sure you have reasons too, and I'm really curious to learn about them.
A lot can happen in 16 years. Cities have become more crowded. Violent crime is on the rise. Surveillance cameras are everywhere. Young people's attitudes have changed. Most of my favourite TV shows are no longer being broadcast. Banknotes have been redesigned. Police cars look different. Payphones work differently. The government increasingly rules by decree. So many differences, big and small: it's like being in a foreign country.
Ok, I see. I guess the point is that you've been away, and when you take visits back there, everything has "suddenly" changed, whereas if you had stayed, the gradual shifts would not have rendered the land to seem a totally different one. I mean, every culture changes. But when you're not living IN it all the time, rather get only a close look after times of absence, those changes become much more visible.
Egal was du denkst, ich habe nicht die gleichen Rechte, wie ein Deutscher. Aber das ist eh Nebensache. Wenn du denkst, YouTube, Fernsehen, Musik und Hamburger ersetzen ein Leben in einer anderen Kultur, hast du nie lange im Ausland gelebt.
Aber das ist ganz OK: Ich kann damit ganz gut leben und es stört mich alles nicht. Wenn du meinst, mich überzeugen zu müssen, hast du die Botschaft des Videos nicht verstanden. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.
I liked the theme in this one Andrew. I can empathize a little bit with you here in this video. I was born in Germany.... and it is the land (and people) that I love. I am working every day so that I can return there. And I am fully aware that I will be considered an "Outsider". Identity..with me...it is a very difficult subject to explain..when I am an "outsider" not only in the land of my birth..but also in the land of my "citizenship." Hence the "man in the middle" phrase on my channel.
It's true, you have to pretty much give up on the idea of a fixed identity. Wherever you happen to be, everyone sees you as belonging to the other place. It's really made me appreciate the naive inanity of the phrase "world citizen" because there is no such thing: if you're not one of "us", you're one of "them", and that's all there is to it.
Ich kann kein Beamte werden. Ich brauche zwar keine Aufenthaltsgenehmigung aber trotzdem ein Schreiben vom Landeseinwohneramt. Mein Schulabschluss ist wertlos. Ich bin in einer ganz anderen Kultur aufgewachsen. Ich werde immer einen englischen Akzent haben. Nur die wenigsten Deutschen beherrschen meine Sprache halbwegs gut. Die meisten können nicht mal meinen Namen aussprechen. Ich kann sogar abgeschoben werden, wenn ich keine Arbeit mehr habe. Ich bin sehr wohl Ausländer.
Well... yes and no. It's surprising how different the British and German cultures are... and French and Italian and Dutch, etc. The individual differences are quite small, but that's what makes them so difficult: they're not obvious at first, so it's a surprise when they suddenly become a problem.
Yeah, I lived together with students from all over Europe for a while and I was surprised about the cultural differences as well.
What I meant with my Europe statement was that I hope that you will be fine and get over the differences. Because in the end we have so much more in common than what differs us.
You are really the best at putting together short prooductions. I always enjoy viewing your work so much. You have a natural ability to communicate with film! I am constantly amazed by the structure of your works.
