Week 30 was spent mostly in Berlin for the CBYX Vocational Youth Exchange mid-year seminar. Fun stuff, no doubt. I also hold a Q&A regarding my time in Germany so far. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nbxxvaA5w8

Of all the great things Lithuania has to offer, visiting the Hill of Crosses (Kryžių kalnas) was absolutely the most interesting (weird, unsettling, and fascinating) experience I had during my 10 day trip through the Baltic States. Description from Wikipedia: Kryžių kalnas, or the Hill of Crosses, is a site of pilgrimage about 12 km north of the city of Šiauliai, in northern Lithuania. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former Jurgaičiai or Domantai hill fort after the 1831 Uprising. Over the generations, not only crosses and crucifixes, but statues of the Virgin Mary, carvings of Lithuanian patriots and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought here by Catholic pilgrims. The exact number of crosses is unknown, but estimates put it at about 55,000 in 1990 and 100,000 in 2006. Disclaimer: This video is primarily a walk-through of the site. To exaggerate on my personal feelings walking through the first time, I have edited this video to match a far creepier tone and ambiance. In reality, the site had much more color, and was not as haunting as I make it out to be. If you are ever in Lithuania, I highly recommend you check it out.

As an American Student Living in Germany on Exchange for one year, these are 5 things I noticed that are taboo, weird, or illegal in America, that were normal in Germany. It's your classic USA vs. Germany culture and lifestyle comparison video. Enjoy! WATCH PART 2 NOW ( "9 More Taboo, Wierd...") : https://youtu.be/NbLNlcYwsnk Yes, those three things (Taboo, Weird, and Illegal) are vague and could cover almost any topic. With that being said, "5 Random Comparisons between Germany and America that roughly relate under one theme" is perhaps a more accurate title. Unfortunately, that wouldn't be as catchy. What happened was, I started writing a list of things that would are taboo in America but normal in Germany and I didn't realize that as the list grew, it got more and more off a central topic. Regardless, I believe the content the video does cover is at least somewhat interesting. I hope you enjoyed the video! Content comparing Germany and America Differences and Similarities is always so much fun. Whether it's cultural differences, legal oddities, or just sharing my experiences of living as an expat or on CBYX student exchange in Germany, I love sharing my opinion and hearing what other people think on topics regarding the differences between German and American Life.

No, on its own, "Drinking Age" is not something that is illegal or taboo in America. Where the comparison is drawn, and I should have said this in the video, is that drinking at such a "young" age is both illegal and taboo in America.
