Abendessen bei Lina | Discovering Deutschland Ep. 11
In this heartwarming episode, Bruce, Jason, and Richard are invited to Lina’s apartment for a traditional German dinner. What starts as a confusing entrance through a Berliner apartment buzzer system quickly turns into a cozy evening full of cultural insights, new friendships, and laughs.
The group learns about German household habits like Stoßlüften, Hausschuhe, and why doors are always mysteriously closed. They also share stories from their day, including a peaceful Spree boat tour and Richard’s hilarious bathroom “adventure.” Joined by Lina’s friends Anna and Mehmet, the evening becomes a true cultural exchange over delicious food and great company.
