 Disappointed - not much here about the real Germany Apr 30, 2006
By Robert Carroll
"NewCityVegas.com"
I spent 10 years in Germany. Even though I worked for the American government, most of my friends and work colleagues were German and I lived far away from any American community. I traveled widely all around Germany and other parts of Europe and I spoke passable German.
This "documentary" was not very representative of any part of my life experience or travels in Germany. It wasn't even at tourist level relevance. Did any Germans have a chance to critique this before they made it? I doubt it.
Pass on this one. It makes me kind of suspicious of the whole Globe Trekker series that they would put this poor representation out there.

 Not for everyone Jan 30, 2006
By A. Strong
This dvd is for people who want to see what a German nudist beach is like, drinking at the Octoberfest and where to find your backpack should you drink too much and loose it. We looked at a mud field where Hitler's house once was and found out about recycling in the country and ended up watching some rock climbing. Not what I had in mind exactly.

Boring Germany and not the Real Germany Jul 27, 2009
By Westermann
"Der Mann"
I want to ask a question to GLOBE TREKKER producers: Did Justing influence the videos? To much about Hittler and Jews, and also some silly things like Frankstein. I know Justing is a Jewish from South Africa, but she must do a TRAVEL vidoe showing the GEOGRAPHY and real CULTURE of the region. Talk about history all the time make it boring! Okoterfest is a bad representation of Germany (a BIASED VIEW OF GERMANY). Justine does de same thing as Ian did in Brazil. A boring, BIASED and weak view on Germany. Ian made Brazil looks BORING and show a very BIASED view of Brazil. Justine and Ian should take a GEOGRAPHY COURSE (CULTURAL AND PHYSICAL), before they do another GLOBE TREKKER film.

 Good information/ but with bad tast Apr 07, 2010
By S. Thomas
Ok first of all, if you going to have the host do a nude segment on a nude beech, then at least have a woman minus all the whale blubber down below. "Of all the girls they could have picked"
Of course Justine did a great service on the film directing the audience attention exploring what Germany has to offer such as trains rides, street tours, and the beer festival. She even whooped a guy with a loaf of bread when being pinched on the arse.
I might add a bit more latter. Right now I can't think of anything interesting to say regarding an ungreatfull socialist country "yeah I know we too are going down the same route" that was built up by American money; and kept from starving though American Airpower. I hope some of those deeds wasn't lost in the German text book.

Hilarious - not for travel advice Jun 22, 2009
By John Ruppel
I recently watched this dvd because I am planning a trip to Germany and the surrounding countries. I've seen numerous other videos on Germany, read a few books, and watched it with a few people who have traveled there extensively.
Needless to say at this point - this isn't really about touring Germany. It should be titled "Weird stuff: Germany". The host takes through a number of awkward encounters - from Berliners who "pray to Lenin" (I kid you not) Lenin "you are the DJ ... show us the party!" WHAT?!? I don't think I could find these people if I tried.
Next, we travel to Sylt, little do we know the only reason we've traveled here is so our host can show you a ten-minute segment on nude beaches.
And there is more to come! I kind of want to find the rest of our host's (Justine Shapiro) videos for comedic relief.
Highly Recommended?
