are you taking a video? yes. Hi. This is Femi eating her lunch. Lunch, not breakfast
Nadir is eating breakfast now yeah it's 11 a.m. and right now we're in
a small village of 11 people, if I remember right which is under another small
village called Bad Munder, if I say it right, which is close to Hanover which is
in lower saxony which is a state in Germany. I think everyone will recognize
Germany if nothing else in there
Ss you just heard I'm in the middle of nowhere in a small village in Germany so
this is not going to be like my usual videos if you're used to that where I go
do a lot of things see a lot of stuff in a famous city. This is actually something
like the 45th day of my trip in Europe After 45 days of going through ten
cities and walking more than 700 kilometers and sleeping in more than 23
beds (I kept track about that by the way) After doing all that you end up getting
a little exhausted, which is why I'm visiting my old friend and old neighbor
Femi in her village and staying in a farmhouse with her animals and horses
and cows and today we are going to go see Femi's horses. Apparently I'm gonna
help her clean up horse poop. Then I'm gonna try to ride one of her horses
Today is also the third group stage game for Germany in the World Cup which is a
huge deal here because, if you're not following football or soccer as you
might call it in the States, Germany are the current world champions and they
need to win this game by a lot I think to actually make it into the second
round. So that's a big deal The neighbors have some cats, this one's
not nicest one apparently But that little cute one right there is
Emily which is basically a dog. So Femi and I actually go way back to 2013, back
when we were both exchange students in Reykjavik and we were neighbors and
really quickly became really good friends and hung out a lot, partied a lot,
tried a lot of weird food together and five years later
Femi and her boyfriend Sebastian were wonderful enough to let me crash in
their little farmhouse in Bad Munder for the last couple of days which is
really nice and very much needed. So Seb and Femi, if you're watching this, Thanks
Love you guys for this. All right so this is Femi's car. She's still got an
Icelandic flag there and as you might have guessed she's kind of obsessed with
horses so there's like a little horse sticker thingy in the back. The
neighbor's dog is going crazy for some reason so I'm gonna get out of this area
before he bites me Goodbye normal shoes. Hello horse riding
shoes. Okay so we're going to clean up horse poop first? Right and then I'm
gonna try to ride a horse. just a normal horse right?
it's am Irish horse. I don't know what's special about them. This is a really
good view
I'm learning a little bit of German as we're going to the farm. It's very important to
learn in German if you're especially trying to get in clubs in Berlin. They
don't like tourists in Berlin in the clubs, so they try to keep it locals only
if they ask you questions in German you're supposed to like say something in
German and I went with my friends They're both foreigners and one was
English - this club called tresor. He (bouncer at entry) said something in German and I was gonna
say something like (basic German) something like that
so they're like sympathetic but my friends start speaking English and their
mood completely changed. The guy was all of a sudden like sorry guys this is not
gonna work out. They didn't let us in the clubs now they're very exclusive in
Berlin like that. I think there's a famous club called Berghain which almost
no one gets into and people from Berlin don't even care it seems like. Like
everyone I talked to is like: yeah I go to clubs, never even tried Berghain. but
all the tourists are like it's like a magical thing we have to get into
Berghain. It's pretty interesting
We made it to the farm and I don't know if
you can see from this angle, but there are a couple of really cute horses back
there This is the first time ever I think I'm
gonna do like actual farm work in my life. This one?
hello boy and that is the Irish horse that
I'll be riding today. Thought he is taking a piss but he's just drinking water. The
dogs trying to get out. Right there is all the poop we'll be cleaning. sugar?
hello sugar. oh shit I stepped on poop.She wants more carrots.
okay now she's disturbing us
hello siror ma'am
yeah. Ate the whole thing
oh she's nice. yeah. good job
hey! back back! stay! Think I'm ready or at least properly dressed to ride a horse
I'm gonna switch to my GoPro so I can record while I'm trying to
ride this
just got done riding Emma and I tried to get it on my GoPro but the tricky thing
was every time she started galloping the GoPro would just go down like that so
this wasn't the best harness I guess for recording it. It was still pretty fun. I
think I got some decent footage in there it's time to get clean and go watch the
World Cup. Who are we playing? Germany and.. South Korea. South Korea okay and I'm actually
wearing up Seb's Jersey from 2016 so I'm gonna fit right in
no one's gonna know I'm not from bad munder I think. Are you sure? I think so. We're
going to watch the game in a fire station
So Germany just lost the game which makes me believe that I am officially
Germany's bad luck charm because I'm wearing a German Jersey today and I was
in Berlin for the Mexico game at the Brandenburg Gate which is like I think
there was a half a million people over there, that's what they said and they
lost that one too. The one game I didn't watch I was in Copenhagen they won against
Sweden so maybe I shouldn't have been watching this game. We're just gonna
drink a couple of beers and chill and uh not take about football because no one
wants to talk about it right now in Germany.
Oh so we're supposed to go home
an hour so ago but we just ended up playing football with a bunch of kids
and a bunch of adults for the last hour and I actually scored a bunch of goals
highlights for that. That wasn't too hard because I was playing against kids
should I stop? you can go slow
so I took a little break from what my friends were doing and decided to go on
this 2 kilometer walk by their village to watch the sunset. So this thing right
here, my friends and family and beautiful strangers watching this, is called a
Radler. Radler. I can't pronounce it. The r's pronounced interestingly in
German and I'm not very good at it. So this is something that I've been doing
basically for my whole trip which is taking the time to go out every day and
try to see the sunset. Obviously that's not possible when you're in place like
Berlin or Vienna. You're not really gonna watch the sunset
unless you know any special vantage points that I'm not aware of but I still
like to go out when the Sun is setting during the Golden Hour is what they call
it and just see the golden light reflect off everything and I think it's the most
beautiful part of the day. This really is the prettiest sunset spot I think and I
think it's important when you're doing a long trip, or what I call a long trip, for
a couple of months, to take some time off and just go to small towns. Not spend all
your time in cities. I'm gonna end this video on a high note here. Thank you for
