to reddit rundown today we will share again one of the top posts in reddit's ask reddit page
i was surprised at how much walking i did i did it because it was easy not because i had to oh
one week in paris i ate everything in sight and still lost five pounds thanks to all the walking
i went to europe for three weeks once and ate constantly and still lost like 15 pounds
150 pounds to 135 pounds so a pretty significant percentage what's gonna happen to me when i get to
to europe bro like i'm not trying to i'm not trying to lose what i got
i don't think i'm gonna lose anything i think i'm actually gonna get a lot of weight being in uh
europe because i think i'm gonna eat a lot more uh and i'm gonna you know be a little bit more active
than how i am right now so i don't think i'm going to lose much i don't think i'm going to
lose any other i think i'm going to gain a lot more pounds on me which it's something that i'm
trying to achieve i actually my target weight i'm trying to be like about 160 165 somewhere there
my height already gave me give gives me a lot when it comes to my weight because i don't know
what i weigh right now but i know that my height literally is the reason why i even weigh something
right so i'm actually trying to put some flesh on and get me up to about 165 or 160 60 is good
enough for me i don't know when i look at what a person 160 looks like i'll make my decision
i'm not trying to be big and bulky i'm just trying to you know have a little bit of
a little bit more meat on my body you know what i'm trying to say but i ain't trying to be big
big and bulky i don't want to lose my flexibility and my mobility i don't want to lose all of that
because that ain't worth it but um yeah it should be really interesting i definitely
ain't going to lose no weight for sure period because i already eat healthy and i already
move around so i definitely can't lose nothing got back home gained it all back immediately
despite the fact that i walk 10 miles per day normally i'm absolutely 100 convinced
it's because of excess sugar and everything we eat here yeah sugar two weeks in england ate
a ton of food and drank why too much beer ended up losing 10 pounds because we walked everywhere
everybody talking about the wall when i ordered a small drink it was actually small
i've heard this mentioned before that ice in european drinks isn't really the norm why is that
so i can understand you wanting your drink to be cold so is it more of like an upon request thing
most of the drinks are served cold already you can request to have ice in it too
when i was in the us i really didn't like the large amounts of ice cubes in all the drinks
without being asked for it because they tasted like chlorine most of the time
and also just dilute the drink it changes the taste too much in my opinion i went to scotland
ran across some german taurus to ask us to translate what the scott was saying
we were all three speaking english they just couldn't understand each other
i was in a hostel with the japanese woman in scotland she was looking really down so i
asked her if she was okay i thought my english was really good she said yeah me too i replied
as someone with scottish family i can say scott's english is another breed as an aspiring linguist
i have found that there is debate as to whether scots is a dialect of english or its own language
not to be confused with scots gaelic yo anybody from scotland bro talk to me in the comment
section what are you talking about what are we talking about here they saying that y'all not
speaking in english bro come on now i got to do some videos about scotland but um you know
europe is pretty darn big so i don't know when i'm gonna touch all of those things but like i said
i'm all up in there and i'm just doing my thing i'm trying to hit africa i'm trying to i've done
a little bit of video about asia i'm actually gonna do videos about africa really soon um
but i'm trying to do every continent you know but it's really not that easy to do every continent
because i'm really organized so it's gonna take like bing bing bang bang bang it's really
organized so it's going to be one tough battle to get through all of these but i got to do what i
got to do but y'all let me know the let me know what what's going on with your language because
they saying that y'all be speaking english but y'all sound different so what's up friend from
the dominican republic who says if he's watching a uk-based show he needs to turn the subtitles on
because he can't understand the accents at all he can understand me as an american just fine
but if a brit came up and started speaking to him he'd have no idea what they're saying
the amount of smoking i have a close friend in europe she's talked about the public
transportation and the way the cities are laid out to be beneficial to walking and biking but
nothing prepared me for the amount for smoking i saw when i was in paris helsinki tampier and torku
last time i was in italy i was driving through milan a guy pulled up to a red light
on a mop he got off took off his helmet and lit up a cigarette italians do not give a single freak
one of my clearest memories of paris was seeing a mop rider keep hold of his cigarette
even after being knocked off his bike in a small fender bender england and probably
most of the uk but i haven't left england in a while has drastically reduced the amount of
smoking there is over the past 10 years i should imagine other european countries are similar
smoking used to be so much more common it's a wonder we didn't discover lung problems sooner
i was in france and the parents were smoking while pushing kids on a swing
i'm canadian and being allowed to have open liquor in public when i was in england was shocking to me
in france people get two-hour lunches like some stores will have two separate open
and close times cause they'll just shut down for two hours a day to enjoy themselves
most people seemed much happier and relaxed as a whole in spain most places just close from
two to five in the afternoon so the owners can have a lunch and nap break i absolutely hated it
because i always forgot and it's my usual time to go get stuff but hey definitely good for them
you hear about how big the roman empire was and all the advanced building tech they had
but it doesn't really sink in until you see it with your own eyes i got a scene in rome
surrounded by the ruins and a three-on-three nike basketball tournament happening right there with
the mcdonald's in a historical building all within the same view was pretty wild
how old a lot of the cities are people still living in buildings older than the us walking
down some of the old streets feels like your time traveling into a medieval fairy tale yeah in italy
the shower at one of my hotels had no barriers to keep the water in one general area it was just a
drain in the floor luckily it was just that one and it was definitely an older hotel also i was
really surprised that the price was exactly what the price tag said i love that the taxes rolled
in especially while i learned the currency yeah that tax was included on the price tag
how everything is less sugary sweet how people just walk away from minor vehicle bumps or scrapes
in the us they would pull over and at minimum exchange info if not in france the lack of casual
wear in public like shirts sports clothing how restaurants aren't about pumping people in and out
and no one is really in a rush paris much smaller size vehicles go to a typical parking lot in
america and 50 will be suv or trucks i barely saw any suv or trucks in london or parrot i'm sorry
i know that suvs and trucks are not the best for the economy not economy for your for your
your money and whatever and um you know it's really expensive i know that
but i really love the large huge ass vehicles like if i if i was ever rich i would probably buy
the largest uh i'm not sure which one is it but have you ever seen a rolls royce cullinan like
even the lamborghini urus like oh my gosh i mean it's so big i just love it i just could not see
myself like even like an audi um like a q3 q i think you got q4 d days um i think you got
q2 as well or q1 or something i don't know but the q325 q7 i would prefer the q7 because it's just so
big i just love big i think it's i don't know what it is but i love big
and i think maybe most americans love big like i don't know especially folks from the south
like you're going to pull up and you don't have that truck because in south carolina trucks are a
thing my boy so you know it's it's just the vibe i'm telling you i really love it
i ain't going to say that it's the best thing ever but it's something that i really do love
athletic clothes are like an american tourist uniform lamell that's and leggings is pants yeah
the amount of public transportation and in many places people not driving or not even
knowing how to drive i was not ready for how many overwhelmingly beautiful ancient
buildings and cities i saw in only two weeks i actually couldn't fathom what i was looking at
it was a surreal experience like i was really in touch with a completely different era of
humanity there is absolutely nothing like this in america it blew me away and made me really care
much more about european history or been planning and architecture architecture is really beautiful
in america you know i'm not going to hold you architecture in america is beautiful you look at
it and you're like oh my god it's beautiful it's beautiful but it's modern like when you look at
asian ancient um stuff compared to modern stuff they they kind of bring you that oh my gosh wow
so i think maybe probably people from the european section come to america and they see the
beautiful shapes and beautiful type of building they're like oh my gosh i actually like that
right but for americans they want they're gonna like that a lot because
they're not used to it so i think not being used to something really makes you like
because i'm telling you i'm excited to even visit like roman places like those because whoo
but either way that was a beautiful video i hope you all enjoyed it just as much as i did it was
really beautiful and uh yeah that's gonna be it guys i'm out of here and uh until next time peace
