And before that... there was a German boom.

If you don't speak German be sure to check out the little gear and find the

English subtitles that are on this video.

This time we will talk about 10 Things that Germans  will be suprised about here in Japan.

For example German things that exist in Japan.

On that note let's see what they are. Let's go.

Number 10 are cleaning products. Germany has the reputation of being VERRRY cleanly

So you will find some German cleaning products and brands in Japan.

In case you want things to be superrrr clean. That reputation might be something we live up to a little.

And that's why you can find that cleaning stuff here.

German cars are super popular in Japan ... and generally... like Mercedes Benz

and similar count as luxury cars here in Japan.

They are very pricey, I looked into how much it would be to get a BMW here ...

In comparison, where I used to live in Munich, BMW is located and produced just around the corner.

Here it's very expensive and ordering a car and having it customized takes a long time.

Until delivery .... and then extra parts!

Requesting them from Germany takes a bit more time too.

They are expensive and are a status symbol.

CathyCat loves it so, the colorful world of Haribo.

You can find Haribo sweets in every well stocked store that sells sweets in Japan.

The first time I came as student to Japan, you could only get it in special stores.

By now you can find it in bigger stores too. Let me make some space for that car there.

On that note Haribo is so famous that many Japanese students can easily buy Haribo now.

It's totally common now. Little trivia here for those who didn't know it already

HA RI BO stands for Hans Riegel Bonn ... Hans Riegel is the one who came up with it

And Bonn is the city name in which he lived. Interesting right.

What REALLY surprised me in Japan: There are some German sweet in Japan that you see

MORE of than any other German sweets. And it's even topping Haribo. That's Baumkuchen.

In Germany you can get Baumkuchen in Winter or in specialized Cafes.

But here in Japan the Baumkuchen love is stronger than in Germany.

In all those expensive Japanese department stores....

You can see up to 5 different brands of Baumkuchen bakeries.

Which all will sell their types there too.

With icing, with chocolate, with filling, with lots of idea.

I have seen things like the Baumkuchen egg...

The baumkuchen is shaped like an egg, it will be filled with creme or creme brulee....

The most extravagant receipes. Japan took the baumkuchen idea after it came here

Now many shops make business in baumkuchen.

And more than in Germany if you ask me, That surprised me

There are a couple of words from Germany that are being use in the common Japanese language.

For example "ARUBAITO" comes from the German word "Arbeit".

I made you a list of 10 German words that are being used in Japan.

That's in a different video. Check out that video to find out.... what other words

from Germany are being used in Japan. I found it very interesting.

English is important in Japan. Many Japanese are trying hard to learn it.

A few years ago there was a French language boom and before that....

If you speak to older gentlemen, who are nearing the end of their working time

Many of them used to learn German at their universities.

Of course young people learn German too. But it seems that there was one generation

During that time many Japanese said "I will learn German"

Sometimes when I speak to some people in Japan they will say "Yes I speak German too!"

And say "I love you" or "One beer please" in German.

The most important words will still stick.

Now Germany... wait wait... one more time...

Germany has the reputation of being sausage country

I guess that's right, we love our sausages.

But surprisingly some Japanese sausages have the German DLG quality seal.

If you look into the chilled foods section you can see the German sign of quality

Many companies here get their products to Germany to get their seal of approval there

So that symbol will be on Japanese sausages.

So if you want to eat some sausages in Japan that Germany has approved... approved...

... confirmed? If you want confirmed sausages you can find them in Japan too.

the German trades so much that they will go and get a Master craftsmen certificate in Germany.

Those are for example Bakeries, Butchers and similar who...

young Japanese people who go to Germany for several years to learn the trade.

and then go back to Japan to open their own delicatessen shop.

I find that super interesting and I am always happy to hear about things like that.

Seeing those German master craftsmen diplomas hanging in a bakery or butchers....

The German craftsmenship. Thanks for learning it.

Only after living abroad, first the UK and now Japan...

is when I realized what a great time the Christmas time is in Germany.

With the whole romantic and all those Christmas markets....

And that's something Japanese people have figured out meaning.....

German Christmas markets, traditions, bisquits, .... all those things are a great thing here in Germany...

wait not "here in Germany" I mean "there in Germany" right now I am in Japan. Oh dear.
