Description

🎆 Your First January First  in Germany (Part 2)

Still reeling from your first Silvester experience? Wondering what Silvester is really about in Germany — and why  it feels so intense, overwhelming, or even unsettling?

In Part 2 of this New Year special, Christine goes deeper into what German New Year’s Eve actually means — beyond the fireworks, smoke, and chaos. This episode explores:

• Why Silvester isn’t random chaos, but a cultural pressure valve
• What this night reveals about German order, rules, and release
• How January in Germany is shaped by this explosive reset
• And what understanding (not necessarily liking) German traditions does for your sense of belonging and calm

If your first German New Year left you wondering what you just lived through, this episode helps you make sense of it — culturally and emotionally.

Insight into understanding Germany well enough to live well inside it.
