hey it has been a while since we last
spoke so what's been going on where have
I been what's been going on why have
there been no videos on this channel
those are all good questions and there
are good answers to those things so it
has been a little while since my last
video and part of that is because I did
a sensible thing that I have not done
very much in my life which is I took a
really good holiday and it was amazing
but I've been doing other stuff too now
I have been trying to vlog when I travel
but it turns out that work often gets in
the way and I'll give you an example of
that not too long ago I had a kind of
manic six-day trip that covered Shanghai
Hong Kong and Jakarta and it was a
little bit too much it was quite intense
and as part of that I was in Hong Kong
for a bit and I tried to vlog that which
I'll show in a second and in the end
just the day got so carried away by the
time the workshop happened I was late to
the airport that kind of stuff just fell
by the wayside so he go
his little snippet from that trip here
is my experience or part of it in Hong
Kong so it's 3 a.m. I've just arrived a
Hong Kong someone delayed and I leave at
7 p.m. tonight so I have 16 hours and
is what this is gonna be 16 hours in
Hong Kong
it's for ahem
I have finally gone into the hotel room
which is good I think I got a sympathy
upgrade from the mighty boiler reception
and I'm not feeling the best right now
you know I was in Shanghai for like
maybe a day I'd player from London delay
getting out there to hear so yeah the
jetlag is going to suck tomorrow but I
get to see Hong Kong and I've never I've
never gotten to see Hong Kong before it
was the thing for me my dad lived here
after the second world war he was super
young important second world war and
afterwards he stayed in Hong Kong for a
number of years so I've always kind of
wanted to come and see it just for that
kind of moment of contact I guess it
isn't really relevant a copy but you
know the truth alright time for bed
by 9:00 a.m. I guess I should probably
get on with the day coming Clive I'm
gonna get the coffee
it is sometimes difficult to keep the
motivation and keep remembering to
capture stuff as you travel especially
when it's super intense again I went to
Oslo not long after that to promote the
Norwegian version of my book coming out
and that was fun like grabbed some
little pieces of my time in Oslo which
I'm going to show you now good morning
today I am in Oslo and I'm here for the
launch of the Atlas in Norwegian which
is kind of exciting I'm a little bit
under the weather you don't travel too
much you know can I run myself down a
little bit but I have a couple of hours
this morning before interviews start so
I'm probably gonna grab some breakfast
and go and find something delicious to
drink
okay so I came back to the hotel to find
that the journalists are supposed to
speak to has had to go to Germany which
is fine it means I have some free time
now so I'm gonna head somewhere I
haven't been for maybe 10 years maybe
less little espresso bar could you ever
Java but I presume the other
so that was pretty amazing because that
coffee bar celebrates its 20th
anniversary this year and it looks brand
new like it looks fresh and clean it
serves delicious coffee everyone's
lovely twenty years that's amazing you
know contacts Tim well although his cap
is ten years old this year
so that just blows my mind so this is
the venue for today
espresso specialists here in Oslo which
is pretty beautiful space to work in and
I'm gonna be talking here Tim when buzz
going to serve some coffee should be fun
and looking forward to the first
presentation of the day
32 to have a little spare time this
morning so you're gonna check out some
more shops and again that's that's not
the whole story that's not everything
that happened and I think I'm just not
motivated to kind of make films about
what I'm doing as much because I don't
usually enjoy putting a camera between
me and the experience as much as I
thought I would or did and I still want
to make films I still want to make
videos I still want to do a lot and
there's some good news there not only is
this the first of three videos going out
this week but I am taking a little
studio space now this is part of some
other plans and projects and the kind of
stuff but I'll be taking a space where I
can set up the permanent little space to
shoot video and have a little space to
record audio so expect some podcasts to
come back and I'll be able to be a
little bit more productive sometimes
it's hard to find space and time to set
up a little rig and shoot and frankly
this isn't the greatest environment to
shoot in it's noisy it's echoey it's
hard to light so I'm kind of excited
about getting my hands on a space that I
can make into something purposeful and
useful and kind of custom around what I
want to make and the films I want to
shoot there's two or three things lined
up already that I want to shoot once I'm
in so expect more videos expect more
podcasts so that's that's my news I
haven't fallen off I haven't stopped
making videos from this channel there'll
be another video tomorrow than another
one the day after that and then as soon
as I'm into the space are be shooting
more regularly and getting more
videos out there that I hope will look
better sound better
be more enjoyable to watch more Q&A is
more instructional stuff more little
films about stuff I think is interesting
or worth talking about in coffee I'm
enjoying the process of learning and
trying to do more so expect I hope
all right please subscribe to some cool
stuff coming I don't want you to miss
and have a great day go drink some
delicious coffee and and you know have
some fun unless it's like like midnight
don't don't drink coffee Ben but you
know otherwise coffee
