  He's surprised that everyone is old. He's a tourist and is probably sitting in a market square on a weekday. Most likely, everyone his age is working.

  In reaction to a 17 year old with a drivers license, the german classmates were so surprised, they nearly dropped their beer.

  The black guy - he met only older people early in the morning, because everyone else is at work, at school or at university. Noone but retired people have time to sit around at drink coffee on a weekday at 10 AM.

  After taking up residency in Germany, you may drive with a U.S. driver’s license for up to 6 months (in some cases up to 12). After that, it becomes invalid in Germany, and you must convert it to a German license, which may require theory and/or practical exams depending on the federal state.

  The young lady not only drives a truck, but also transports hazardous materials (recognizable by the orange sign), for which an additional license is required.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCivRGCdWMU&amp;t=203">3:23</a> The clue with these prices is that she is mostly showing &quot;Eigenmarke&quot; (store brand) cosmetics. These tend to be a lot cheaper than name-brand cosmetics (Nivea or foreign brands) are much more expensive. However because of Germany&apos;s large domestic chemistry/cosmetics industry these products are usually quite good.

  Germans default attitude to helping someone in public is the good old &quot;none of my business&quot;.<br>You want someone to help you? Just ask! At that point we know you actually WANT help.<br>You better believe that people will help you out, if you ask them for it.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCivRGCdWMU&amp;t=209">3:29</a> that’s „dm“, and mostly their own store brands… that’s at the lower end of the price range
