Added:Hello, mate.
It's definitely the dealer.
Do you.
Do you feel safe when you walk here alone?
No ofcourse not.
So you won't, you won't walk here alone?
Can you buy ice cream for me?
Of course.
Ice cream, I buy you anytime.
Come, come.
Of course.
No problem.
No problem.
Mein Freunden Wilkommen in Dusseldorf, it was a long time ago, Germany.
But I decided to come back because especially the area around the Hauptbahnhoff, the main station, should be a troubling area.
And, as always, let's experience it ourselves before any judgment.
So let's discover Dusseldorf.
So, Dusseldorf.
What do I know about Dusseldorf?
Well, to be fair, the only thing I know is that they have a great airport.
Because almost every time when we travel abroad, we go, we depart from Dusseldorf.
But actually we never went into the Santa.
No, no, we didn't.
So surprise us.
Surprise us.
It's Saturday right now, so it should be the most busiest day of the week.
And let's see what we find.
Hello, sir.
English?
Orlandish, if you like.
Okay.
So do you ask?
Okay.
Okay.
Nice.
Out of shame, Because you're afraid someone recognizes you.
Tom.
Nice to meet you.
How can I help you?
More.
Do you want food?
Do you want.
Okay, If I can ask.
So this is virtually the Suhl in the.
What is the solution?
Because right now you're aging.
I have to sit here until insolvents for one.
The state pays you because you don't have work, but it's a small amount they pay you.
Yes.
Okay, so nurvun inselvens.
Control.
Okay.
But I want to help you more than just some money.
How can I, how can I do that?
Can I.
Can I buy you a softer pillow?
Maybe, another jacket as well?
You can help you.
Yeah.
Buy a bottle of water.
Bottle of water.
Of course I'm gonna buy you a bottle of water.
Unbelievable.
Guys.
What a lovely, well dressed, well educated old man of 82 years old sitting on the streets.
Not because he's homeless, but because he has to pay his rent.
And because he is in some financial crisis on a regular base, he has to sit here on the side of the street as an 82 year old man to, make sure he can pay his rent every month.
It breaks my heart, guys.
It absolutely breaks my heart.
So let's go to the supermarket and let's see what we can do for this lovely man.
This is me.
Gas.
That's the right one.
Okay.
Yeah.
What an absolute lovely man.
That was 82 years old, sitting on the streets, struggling to pay his rent every month.
Right now in financial problems because of a divorce several years ago.
And on a regular basis, he sits down here in Dusseldorf to struggle.
How crazy is that, guys?
And what a lovely, lovely guy.
All the best, mate.
If you watch this.
All the best.
So here in Dusseldorf and I meet, a guy from Rotterdam with Albanian roots.
In Albania we say, what doesn't, kill you makes you stronger.
So, strong people in Albania.
Strong people, yes.
Very strong people.
Yeah.
I've been there in, Of course, you saw the video in Tirana.
It was lovely.
If I compare it to.
I said in the video as well, any Western European city.
For example, here, Dusselburg, people are so relaxed.
People are so chill.
What do you think of this stigma there is on Albanian people?
Stereotype.
Don't.
Don't mistake their.
Their, kindness or weakness.
They are not weak.
No.
So if they are kind, don't.
Don't mess with them.
Don't mess.
Because if you cross the line, you're.
You.
What's your name again?
Dutch name.
He's a good guy.
He's a very good guy.
Thank you very.
So let's.
Hello, mate.
The best part.
Thank you very much, man.
Appreciate.
Thanks for watching.
I love your.
Thank you.
Thanks so much.
How is Dusseldorf?
100% right?
Yeah, I'm from Dusseldorf.
How is Dusseldorf?
He's terrible.
Is it.
Is it in North Rheim?
Isfalin everywhere.
Okay.
If you go to Gladbach.
Go to Gladbach and you will be crazy.
Yeah.
Gladbach is schlimmer.
Very bad.
So it changed in the last years.
I'm 46 years old.
I was born there.
And I have seen all the.
The change.
All the change.
It is crazy messed up.
Thank you.
What a good guy.
Well, I was standing.
Right now we're walking through the shopping street, the most famous shopping street in Dusseldor.
And because it's a Saturday, it's very busy.
Of course.
Hello, madam.
What's your.
What do you want to eat?
You want to eat asen?
Hello.
I don't know what she want, but let her choose.
Oh, sorry.
I love your videos.
Thank you very much, mate.
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Okay.
The rest of the water.
The rest of the water is there.
If you want to drink, you come back and you call her.
Okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Cheers.
Okay.
Cheers.
What a, lovely lady again.
And to be fair, she didn't understand the word I was asking her.
But it's crazy.
It breaks my heart to see people of that age like the guy before, and also this lady, begging, basically begging for food, begging for drinks.
It shouldn't be like that.
Also that lady.
The guy was 82 years old.
That lady was, I think, at least the same.
80 years old.
Horrible.
How does that work, guys?
How does that work that people of that age still have to struggle?
Are they not being helped by their government?
So what's going wrong here, guys?
You tell me.
So right now in the, Wergerstrasse in Dusseldorf, and it's very crowded right now.
Why is it crowded?
Because Germany is playing Ivory coast this evening.
So people are gathering now.
People are drinking.
And, believe me, the Germans can drink.
Cannot miss out on a small drink.
And now let's go to the Hauf, the main station of Dusseldorf, and let's see how it is there on a Saturday afternoon.
And a new friend joined us.
Josko Yasko.
Jasko has Bosnian and Serbian roots.
He came all the way from Karlsruhe.
From Karlsruhe.
So tell how long?
Seven horse.
Seven hours.
Seven.
Seven hours, yeah.
Good, good.
He's a very good guy.
He wants to show German city and let's.
Let's explore together, man.
Thank you very much, mate.
Appreciate it.
Where you from?
Is this good here?
Yes.
Yeah.
It's not comparable to Frank Food or Humber.
You mean in case of people on the streets?
No.
Thanks very much, guys.
Have a nice day.
Bye.
Yeah, do look And, everywhere in Germany they have these awful antifa stickers.
It's everywhere.
It's literally everywhere.
We went to Berlin several months ago and it was totally full of antifa.
I went to Stockholm a year ago.
They had a big house, A, big own safe house.
A huge house.
It's all around Europe and everyone is talking about the far right.
And even though I'm not considering myself as far right, I'm just sitting myself as a realist, as a normal guy.
I think the far left, like antifa, those are the real danger.
But that's my opinion, my humble good guy.
So apparently many police presence here and according to my German friend, has a demonstration going on.
I see see Iranian flag.
You see more and more in Europe demonstrations against the Iranian government.
Hello, guys, I have a question.
This is about the protests against the Iranian government.
Okay.
Is it big?
Many people coming?
No.
Yes.
Hello.
As I was telling, more and more, of those Iranian demonstration against the current regime are popping up in all of Europe.
And I think it's a good thing.
I think it's a good thing because I think if you compare all the Palestine demonstration and there's also a good cause in it, don't get me wrong.
But if you compare it to the amount of Iranian demonstrations.
The Iranian demonstrations are highly under lighted.
So I think it's a good thing that more and more people are gathering on the streets and speaking up basically.
Again, guys, you're worried warriors.
Your true warriors.
So, Albanhof station of Dusseldorf.
Let's see what we find here.
We see a kiosk, we see a sushi noodle, I guess Japanese.
Yeah.
Let's make a little walk here.
Let's feel the atmosphere here.
Let's feel the vibe.
Let's see the stories on the Internet.
The stories you guys told me are comparable to my experience.
Oh, ice cream.
You can get ice cream here.
Sandwiches as well, I guess.
Vegan now.
We don't like vegan, do we?
No, no, I'm filming anyway.
Why, why is that?
Okay, Crazy.
No videos.
I don't know why.
Sorry.
Do you speak English, brother?
No.
So yeah, basically 10 seconds in and people telling us not to film.
I don't know why.
It's always the same thing.
I guess.
Guys are using there on the side of the station and again filming as in every big European city and mostly German cities.
I'm being told to put my camera away for unknown reasons.
Basically unknown reasons.
Oh, this is horrible.
Gosh, look at this.
People are clearly under influence here.
Look at it.
Look at it.
Guys.
It's horrible to see people are sleeping in the middle of the day here, dozing off.
People are Look at that guy there without a shirt.
It is horrible to see.
Hello, mate.
Hi.
Absolutely horrible.
Sir, can I ask you something?
What?
These are plots.
These are plots from place the government decided this place is for.
For junkies.
Yes, this place is only for junkies.
It's reserved for.
For.
Okay.
What's your name?
Amir.
Nice to meet you Amir.
But it's a.
It's a normal here.
Yes, it's normal.
Every day you look this lady sad, isn't it?
It's an old man.
Yes.
My question is, is there not enough help here in Germany?
The German government doesn't help.
Every day another.
Yes.
Every day another.
This is every day?
Yes.
What's it?
I feel a problem.
Yeah.
And you are security for this?
Security from this side from the leader.
Yeah.
While they feel a junk is coming down.
Yes.
That's again you're doing good work.
Okay, thank you.
So much.
Nice to meet you, man.
Nice to meet you.
It's really horrible.
Look at it.
People are.
And look, look, guys, seriously, I don't want to film my face, but look, look.
Look at how this person lays here in the middle of the day, this man, in the middle of the day, totally wasted, basically.
And people are using drugs here, laying on the street.
It is.
It's an absolute horror, to be fair.
It's an absolute horror.
That's for me.
No stress.
Absolutely crazy what is happening here.
I don't think this camera does any justice to it.
But what the.
Guys, what the.
And then imagine she also has to take care of a dog.
Horrible.
So you see that guy there is giving them the stuff, provides them from the stuff they need.
Let's walk a little bit closer.
Yeah, it's definitely the dealer handing out small money.
But I want to know what's going on here, because it's crazy what's happening.
This is nothing.
Before they used to.
It was bigger.
Yeah.
It used to have contained everything.
Used to be crazy before.
So you don't think this is crazy because we walk there around the corner.
I see them sitting down here.
They kaka everything.
They don't pay back.
Yeah, but you're supplying them.
Listen, I have.
You're supplying.
Someone has doing it.
Yeah, yeah.
They get.
They get their stuff either way.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Is that what I eat?
Or they eat someone else's?
Guys, seriously, this is.
He's saying it's nothing, but I am really shocked about this.
It's horrible.
It's horrible.
So how many is it Is it only in this area or are there more areas?
Or.
Listen, go behind there.
Go behind there.
You see the random.
I was only expecting this in the big cities of Germany, like Frankfurt, where I went.
I didn't expect this in a city like Dusseldorf.
But he said before it was worse before.
Look, guys, imagine you're going on a trip through Germany with your family.
You have to do a transfer in Dusseldorf.
And you get out here on the.
I think it's the south.
South corner.
The suit.
And you see this, Guys, come on.
What the Is this?
Hello, mate.
Hello.
How old are you?
What kind of brown.
Do you have enough help from your government?
Your German government?
I don't have a passport.
You don't have a passport.
Where you from originally?
Malaysia?
Indonesia.
Singapore.
Malaysia, Malaysia, Malaysia.
Okay.
Okay.
Ulanga bisu in Germany, then.
Do you want to eat food?
Yeah, I Already have.
Okay.
I wish you all the best.
Thank you very much.
Guys.
What a place.
What a place.
I'm seriously not overrating right now.
What a place.
Here, around the station of Dusseldorf.
Walking around strange here without a top all the time.
I think Andre, as well.
Or maybe a dealer, I don't know.
Crazy.
Yeah.
Another zombie.
My God.
Why the did we end up.
Guys, Are you good, mate?
You're good, yeah?
Can I talk to you?
Can I talk to you?
Where you from?
I got it.
Okay, Let's move on.
Electric.
Guys, these guys here are, standing and sitting everywhere.
They are everywhere.
And it is.
I keep repeating it.
It is really sad to see, but this is the current reality of in particular Germany.
Look at that person there walking towards us.
It just came from, the zombie apocalypse, basically.
Absolutely mental to see this.
What do you think of the city?
It is super dirty.
Why tell me?
Because you're used to switch cities, Swiss cities, what's the difference?
This is not clean.
This is beautiful.
Do you feel safe when you walk here alone?
So you won't walk here alone?
So how would that be for a girl from Dusseldorf?
I mean, maybe they feel safe, I don't know.
But I won't feel safe.
I can imagine.
You were talking about it.
Even the two of us.
I won't feel safe here.
Have a nice, concert tonight.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You don't want to walk alone there.
You don't want to walk alone there.
We walk with you.
Come with us.
Come with us.
No problem.
No problem.
So, see, these ladies from Switzerland are walking here.
They're on a trip, a girl trip.
And they ask us to walk with them through this area.
So, again, it confirms the fact that women can simply not walk alone here or are safe, are scared to walk here.
Look what's happening here.
I'm gonna turn the camera.
Look what's happening here.
Look what's happening here.
Let's walk with them.
Let's walk with them.
Walk behind us.
Okay.
Hello, mate.
Hello, Guys.
What the is this city?
Germany is bad, guys.
It's in a bad state.
Trust me.
And again, if a city like Dusseldorf is looking like this, and it's a regular, small, smaller city than the big cities.
Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, you name it.
If a city like Dusseldorf looks like this, what a country this has become, guys.
What a country Germany has become.
Can you buy ice cream for me?
Of course.
Ice cream I buy you anytime.
Come, come.
Of course.
No problem, no problem, no problem.
Come here.
Come Here, come.
That's good.
Ice cream on it.
Easy.
Yeah, you can take whatever you want.
You can take whatever you want so much.
Yeah.
You don't like mango?
Mango?
You don't like.
No, I bu.
You want to sit with us?
Come sit with us.
You can sit, you can relax.
I don't want.
You don't want to talk?
Okay.

Okay.

What's your name?
K.
Hi.
Hi.
Can I ask you something?
The estas laben here in Dusseldorf while.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that's vegan?
Does.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, yeah, let's walk out of this.
This area here, the area near, the station.
Because it's an absolute sh.
All here, guys.
It's an absolute sh.
No one wants to film.
Of course, the drug addicts don't want us them to film, and that's understandable somewhere.
But again, I think it's very important to show the reality, the current reality as well, because it needs to be shown.
And also, of course, the dealers don't want us to film in this area.
But I don't give a f about the dealers, to be fair, and what state Germany has become.
So guys, this was Dusseldorf.
And to be fair, I would rather call it zombie, town, here.
It's a disgrace.
It's a disgrace.
It's horrible to see.
And again, every drug addict has his own story, went to his own or her own.
And I.
We cannot judge about it.
But it's sad that in my opinion, it's more and more in the open in German cities, dealers all around, drug addicts all around, and even some foreign girls from Switzerland are scared to walk in particular places.
Here they ask us to walk with them.
It's.
It's absolutely sad.
What's happening.
Tell me guys, if I missed anything, don't forget to subscribe because again, I want to reach to 1 million as soon as possible.
Big thanks to my friend as well.
Thanks for coming, brother.
And this one, as well.
The strange Walker.
Thank you, guys.
See you next time.
