"Goodbye Germany" accompanies emigrants on their adventures in their new homeland.

It also often rather unsightly scenes are shown.

In the new episode, the slaughter of a pig goes wrong.

Canoa – “Goodbye Germany” is a real must-have on TV for many and the perfect weekly opportunity to make yourself comfortable on the couch next to your loved ones with chips and cola.

The VOX format has been presenting the biggest emigrant success stories since 2006 – and of course it doesn't keep the most embarrassing embarrassments a secret from curious viewers.

It doesn't matter whether the courageous emigrants manage to build a life for themselves in their new homeland or whether they have to return to Germany after a short period of depression.

Pure entertainment is pre-programmed.

"I'm not a heartless person": "Goodbye Germany" participant Steffen has to slaughter a pig in Ecuador

The Thiemeiers from Munich are one of the families documenting their journey into the unknown in the latest episode of the hit with audiences.

Steffen (43), Paulina (38) and their five children want to open a hostel with an adjoining beer garden near the small town of Canoa in Paulina's home country of Ecuador - a project in which they have already invested 250,000 euros.

Although the exciting project is more like a construction site than a cozy inn, when the "Goodbye Germany" camera teams visit, the opening of the gastronomic business is imminent.

While friends and helpers are already busy setting up the airy tavern, only one thing is missing: meat.

But Steffen doesn't go to the nearest supermarket for this, but to the pig sale.

Together with his loved ones, he chooses a suitable animal, which he now has to slaughter with the help of his brother-in-law - after all, in just a few hours there will be a number of hungry mouths on the doorstep.

"I assume it will hurt me," explains Steffen in a less good mood: "I'm not a heartless person.

And it's pretty cute."

How much does emigration cost?

Some would never dare, others have long dreamed of traveling into the unknown.

Even if emigrating sounds exciting – if you don’t want to return to Germany after a few months and have failed, you need a well-filled wallet.

A family of four should bring at least 90,000 euros in seed capital to the adopted country.

The more ambitious the project, the larger the financial buffer should be.

If you save, plan wisely and get detailed information about your destination before you leave, the new start on distant shores should be quite successful.

"Pure adrenaline": Pig slaughter at "Goodbye Germany" fails

What is about to happen to him seems to be giving Steffen a lot of trouble.

"Pure adrenaline," explains the Ecuadorian-by-choice, "It's not nice, but we need something to eat now." After a few gruesome moments, in which Paulina has to step away from the scene of the carnage and the TV audience only hears the distant screams can hear the pig, it's already over.

But as the new restaurateur reveals, the slaughtering did not go smoothly: "You have to hold the animal, make sure it doesn't run away and then it wasn't quite dead at the first sting."

Steffen obviously didn't have any fun with the whole thing - but it was still important to him.

"It was also important to me to be there because I actually wanted to know - where does the meat that I eat every day come from?" explains the emigrant.

One can only hope that the next battle action will be a little less complicated - for the sake of Steffen's stomach.

"Let's see if I can still get something down this evening," he sums up after the exciting afternoon.

There is also a lot going on with "Goodbye Germany" star Danni Büchner at the moment, because her daughter Jada Karabas wants to move out.
