a german helped me...short story

"most people of the world have a good heart"

Peter from Germany: To all Americans who haven't been to Europe: Almost everyone here speaks English. Some better, some worse, but everyone will try to help. It's really easy to travel here. If there are problems, ask the nearest person, including the police.

if you have a positive attitude, then people are more likely to help. Positivity is attractive.

Never lose this spirit, it will keep you alive long and happy.

When I was in the US, my sister came to visit me. On the flight there (or Back?) she lost the connecting flight because of a misunderstanding. She was alone in the airport, at night, in a foreign country far away from home, frazzled to say the least (probably terrified) and in tears. She didn't know what to do. The Woman she met that night is still commonly referred to among us as "the angel". It was a nun, she sat down beside my sister, had a talk with her and handed my sister some cash. It still makes me choke up thinking about her human kindness and compassion just being there for my sister exactly when and how it was so, so desperately needed.

Driving a complete stranger to a place that's like 1/2 hour away where he want to go, in the middle of the night IS something not everyone would do. Not even a person who nornaly is very generous. Credits to her for what she did, but also to you mentioning it and giving credits to her in a video. Also in the middle of the night, where you maybe could already be sleeping in your hotel room, instead of recording a video for youtube.

We are all foreigners in another country. Helping each other should be a self-evident act of kindness. The world thus could easily be much more peaceful. We do not need hate and wars.

The "outside perspecitve" on Germany often evolves around ww2 and all kinds of stereotypes related to that time, which is not a pleasant perspective. Combine that with the language barrier and then it is easy to understand why a closer look on the reality today is much appreciated by many folks.

Germans, like most people worldwide, are very helpfull. Though unlike americans they are often not very extroverted. They will usually not approach you to offer help. But if you ask, they usually will be very friendly and help you right away.

Have a great time in Germany 😊

Nice seeing you at "my" train station. I only live less than a minute away. It's as you say: In general people are kind and eager to help others.

Ich freue mich, dass Sie am richtigen Bahnhof sind.

You look like a nice and trustworthy guy😀

my old roommate and I once were traveling with a bus from germany to bulgaria which is a crazy long bus drive of like 30 something hours. I think in Serbia the Bus broke down and it delayed us so much that we missed a connection we were supposed to get in Plovidiv to get to the Mountains at the greek border. A man and his son took us to their families place, let us stay with his family and then proceeded to drive us halfway across bulgaria to get us to our final destination. It was incredible. I traveled a lot in my 20s. Bulgaria is one of the most friendliest countries i had ever visited. I have a couple more stories, similar to this from this country.

Thanx Anna

American born German Citizen here. Germans help when asked. We are not extrovertiert or pushy. Being loud, except at Soccer Games😊, is not our thing. Just ask and you will be helped.

so true.Theres way more positive in the world .Its what you focus on.

Hi Conner, 85 year jung here from Florida and I enjoyed your videos for many years but have not seen you for awhile. Really like your new look without the beard so very handsome 😂👍🌴😎. I’m originally from Schweinfurt Germany 🤗

Anna is a wise woman. Very reflective. ❤😊 Greetings from Frankfurt/Main.

German here. Almost two weeks ago we saw a few girls with their luggage in front of a train station. They asked for directions to their hotel. The hotel was a bit remote, we tried to call a taxi but they were all busy. So we took them to their hotel in our car.
