Juli‘s Hometown! | Dhruv Rathee Vlogs

-Looks very picturesque from here!

-And look at all the...

-Wow!

There's even a big Ferris wheel!

Our train has arrived in... Can you guess which city this is?

So this is the Cologne city

But unfortunately, we are not going to take you on a tour here today

We merely have a stop over here

We will go further ahead from here

We will give you a tour of the Cologne city someday when we come back here

-Welcome to Munster!

This is my hometown!

-Oh, yeah? -Yeah! -So, let's go visit your hometown!

The center of the city

Munster is also called Germany's cycling capital

because here, cycling is almost as common as it is in Amsterdam

In fact, the Munster city is not that far from Amsterdam

-There are protests in the background... -Demonstrations are going on, yeah

-Some protest is going on in the background

Okay! Guide us

-Look at these houses

-Oh wow! They look so similar to Amsterdam also, right?

That's some very old style car

-And this all is the Prinzipalmarkt

In my mind, it was longer... like, twice as long

It is straight from here to here

Funny? -As a kid, you are always small and the whole world appears bigger to you

-Even though even as a teenager I lived here

-Till what age were you living here? -Umm... 17

-So from the time you were born here until 17? -Born here and then till 17, yeah

-I already know that, I'm just... -Confirming for the camera?

So we just came from here. Then we walked here, saw all the pathway, but then we went here

and now we're standing right here with the view of the Dom

-Oh, yeah! That's right there!

And if we look from here, this building

is right there!

-Is it just a normal event? In your childhood did you also have events like this? -No...

-No? -No

What is going on here?

Look at those banner things. I think it's a Christian party

-So, this is a church

-Yes -So this is a Creche and that was a Dom, even though a Dom is a big church

But this Creche is a bigger church than the Dom

-It's not bigger... it's just... -It's bigger than the Dom!

-It's not bigger! Bigger was higher and not higher, longer- bigger! Oh, sorry!

That's the worst, you know. When you park your bike somewhere and then you realize this happens

-Oh, yeah, this I remember from... I remember this!

Whenever you park your bike at a very populated place, you just have to push once and then...

-Even though I have to say right now, there are very dew bikes because it's a Sunday

And on Sunday, as you can see, it's completely empty

-All the shops are closed -Everything is closed on Sunday

-That means it's a good time for window shopping!

And get our 100,000 Euro worth Louis Vuitton bag!

-*reads what's written on the building*.. I don't know...

-A bell game

-That's the literal translation -Yeah... a bell game

Do you remember that pigeon? -Yes!

-His grandparents must have met you when you were a kid! -Oh my God, is that Timon?

Timon! Is that you?

*calls out to the pigeon*

He doesn't recognize me anymore! -He doesn't recognize you

-These shops are exactly the same as 10-20 years ago, you know?

-Really? So... -Yeah, I've been going into the same ones as a kid, even with my friend

-So you mean even Captain America was there 20 years ago?

-Ofcourse, no... Yeah, but everything, even this...

-The buildings here everywhere are red in color

It's a palace! -Yeah, but there's no one here

-Were you friends with the King's son?

.. who lived in this palace? -No! I could not stand him!

-In 1533, the city looked like this

In 1678, like this and then...

in 1945, none of it.. In 1945, it was destroyed in the war, right?

-Oh actually, 90% of the old city in Munster got destroyed

-.. in the world war 2, right? -In the world war 2 and still it got rebuilt so beautifully!

-Yeah! -All the houses you saw got rebuilt

in the original style... wow! that's amazing!

This way, we got electricity -No!

Yeah...

-Why else would we sell them like this?

-This is a very long line of trees!

-It's called a Promenade -Promenade? -Yea!

-The statue that you see behind me is that of a man named Paul Wolfe.

who was very famous in Munster for his educational work against fascism

He was involved in social activism during the time of the Nazis against their ideology

Museum for Lackkusnt

that is paint... *another pronunciation session*

A museum of paint

It looks like a red carpet! -Yeah

-Art made from paint! -It's activism again

STOP eating animals

Look how many rights the cyclists have. Like here, they are allowed to take this one

but also go on the proper streets for cars

It explicitly says they may use both. They may use the bike lane or the car lane

-A Kulti Kebab shop looks quite popular here

There is a long queue here

And since the vegetarianism movement is very popular here, we can easily find vegan/vegetarian restaurants here

This is one, here's another one

And we are planning to eat in this one

There are good choices here.. There is a lot of variety

*gets his order in*

Can I have chilli flakes on the side?

You can just dump them on one side

just dump them on one side.. like this

A bit more, please!

Yeah, that's good

And what's this one? Oh, yeah, some of this

-this is beer. I have never drank this -No? -...some juice

-This bowl has some things I've never eaten before, for example, this banana which is called

plantain

The banana is probably dipped in something

What is it dipped in?

-I don't know! It is fried

-Oh, it is fried banana

-Yeah, plantain, not banana

-Doesn't taste like banana at all

-More starchy, I think, right? -Yeah, yeah

There are also these hemp seeds

which I have never tasted before either

-How do they taste? -They taste like sesame or something

-Good? -Mmm

There is another thing I've never eaten before. It is called manioc

-It has a very funny, unique taste, right?

-Very... - The consistency, mostly

-Very, very unique. I've never had anything like this -No, neither did I. I've never had that

-Cannot even describe it. It tastes a bit like sweet potato

-No but... -More mild

-more sweet -Its weird... Not sweet at all!

-very hard to describe! -Starchy... it's starchy, I think -Yeah, starchy

-These are called Stolpersteine

and they are actually a memorial for Nazi victims

They have the names of the people who used to live in these houses

-in these houses around?

-Yeah, and also, when they got deported or where they died

-Oh, so that's why it says they got...

-They have the names

-They died in the...

-Like you know, this is Albert Sander... -Warsaw, in Poland, right?

-Yeah -And deported in 1942

-Exactly.. *reads off the plate and explains*

-They've written my name on the plate

-That's such a big waffle!

-It is, actually! It's very big! -How will you eat that?

-You're gonna help me! -I'm so full!

-I think they should have written your name here rather than mine

-Yeah.. What a picturesque shot for Instagram!

Huh? -Taking a video,now? -Yeah! -Don't take a video!
