Okay, you know what? Ingeans... Ingeans... Ingeans... Okay, let's try it
0:30
Thank you
0:59
You're going to spill some water after I leave to wish me good luck. Yeah
1:23
Amazing. I'll have it. Okay. I'll have it. I'll have it. Yeah
1:28
I'd like to have it. Thank you so much mate, have a good one. I want to see the water spill
1:34
Okay, go on. Oh, am I allowed to look at it? No, you're allowed
1:38
Oh, I'm not allowed. No, you're allowed. Yeah? Okay. Amazing. I'm gonna flow like the water. Thank you so much mate
1:46
Have a good one. Thanks. Day two, we are up and out
1:52
Woke up this morning, did a little workout, took a shower, had breakfast the fan wished me goodbye thank you so much again for the
2:00
accommodation yeah let's see what today has in store going with the flow that's
2:09
what this series will be about just going with the flow All right, we are out and ready to take on the day
2:29
Got an apple for the road from my lovely host, Stefan. Thank you so much
2:35
He was more of a reserved guy, so he didn't want to be on camera as much, so I had to
2:39
respect his wish. Yeah. I want to find out the translation of free samples because I see some stalls over there
2:49
so if I can find out what free samples I think they probably would understand the
2:52
word free samples right if you can use their own language it's more like it breaks a barrier
2:58
like you can connect a little bit better okay okay ingiens mintak
3:06
ingiens mintak ingiens mintak ingiens ingiens mintak ingiens mintak
3:16
ingiens mintak ingiens mintak ingiens mintak okay let's try it hello
3:26
oh no it's a stall that was like a breakfast bar slash restaurant
3:30
I thought it was a stall. But this looks like a gym. It says AFitness
3:35
And a one day free gym trial would be amazing on this challenge
3:49
So I've just found a barber shop. And a thought came. Could I possibly get a free haircut
3:56
If I offered a service in return, trade by bottle. So before money came into the play, before people used to trade things with other goods, other goods or other services
4:09
You have four bananas, I have one apple, I want to trade my apple for your banana, that's how you get things
4:16
Or you have a house, I have a car, I want to trade. That's how trading used to be done back in the day
4:21
The problem with that is value. So you might value your four bananas over my one apple, I might value my one apple over your four bananas
4:28
so what is like an agreeable value for each product which is where money came to fill that
4:37
problem now with money we can both agree on the value of money and then use that money to exchange
4:43
each of our products so there's no confusion that i'm getting way less what i'm giving you
4:47
you getting way less for what you giving me trade by barter so i going to try and do trade buy butter maybe for a haircut ask if I can do a service maybe help them do some sweeping or do some cleaning That all I can offer at the moment
5:00
my service for another service. Let's try. Hello. Hello. How are you? Hello. I'm great, thank you. Do you do this type of hair? Okay
5:15
Right now, I'm on a challenge. I'm exploring Budapest. So back in the days, maybe my mom, my grandmom, and maybe your grandmom
5:30
Before they used to use money to pay for things, they used to trade something for something
5:37
So I trade you maybe my camera for your chair. Or you trade me something for something
5:43
how they go to the market and the trade okay so I'm exploring Budapest today to
5:49
see what I can trade for a haircut if I get a haircut what can I do for you in
5:55
return can I eat the floors can I clean up or can I walk what would I be able to
6:00
do in return for a haircut no yeah the barrier language barrier I need to
6:13
learn more languages but it's thank you so much thank you thank you he didn't
6:18
speak too much English they spoke Hungarian Arabic and just tiny English
6:23
language barrier that was a good start though at first I didn't want to because
6:27
I tried to talk myself out of it like no don't do it but it was just the fear it was the feel or this is uncomfortable or this is something unknown this is new I
6:34
don't know how it will react and that was going to put me off doing it but then I just said okay you know I'll just do it anyway that's it it wasn't that bad
6:43
Thank you
7:40
I was wondering if you had an offer where you download an app and get free coffee or something
7:50
No, we don't have. Do you know anywhere that does that? No
8:01
Thank you. Hello. Can I try an espresso? or i can make you one from the limited edition from the Lille original capsule which one tastes
8:17
the best which kind of coffee you like to drink? I like it a little bit sweet and a little bit creamy
8:22
all right uh as a simple espresso or you like the lungo's kind of like the americanos or like a latte
8:30
almost or a lot of okay then maybe maybe i can make you this one it's actually a double espresso
8:40
so this one it's an 80 milliliter long coffee and i can uh pour with some milk and it's kind of like
8:47
a little bit sweetish cereal-ish taste so i think that will be fine yeah that's fine do you have
8:52
yeah like maybe oat milk or soy milk okay okay amazing thank you so much
9:00
yeah that's good thank you so much all right so i found a gym in the mall and i want to find out if i can do maybe a free trial
9:44
2 2 oh there no free trial oh only this one or anywhere oh spent the last 30 40 minutes trying to get a free movie or free ticket to watch King Richard wasn able to I was wondering if it at
10:01
all possible to get a free movie to watch a movie so like you would like a gift ticket for someone
10:10
or like what do you mean for me to watch a movie yeah for you to watch a movie for free um
10:17
i doubt okay i'm gonna head out the shopping center and maybe like do some touristy stuff stuff
10:36

11:47
I posted a hangout up on Couchsurfing called I want to go with the flow of the universe

18:33
This camera is blinking red. It's about to die. I don't know where I'm going to charge it
18:37
Right now, it's a very, very uncomfortable feeling. I'm cold and I'm tired and I want to sleep
18:45
and I know sleep deprivation is an awful thing Okay so my camera just died
19:04
My phone is on 10% as well Anyways, I found a McDonald's
19:08
I'm in it right now and it seems to be a 24 hour McDonald's
19:12
or something like that There are loads of, like, corners and, like, places where you can chill, where maybe security won't see you or wherever
19:22
So, it seems pretty chilled here. I'm going to stay here and see how the night goes
