Morning, day floor broke in Budapest
0:07
It's been an interesting journey so far. Yesterday I discovered trading by Bata
0:12
offering my service, which is videography, making them a promotional video for their company
0:18
In return for anything I need, a haircut, some food. So today we're going to continue that
0:23
I'm going to try and get some food. I want to use the gym. I want to maybe get a massage or a facial
0:27
I wonder like just I want to see how far I could I could go with this. So yeah
0:33
Let's let's get to it. But one more day to go. I'm very happy about that then I can go home
0:57
Hello. Can I speak to the manager please? He's not here right now. But you can call him
1:12
Okay. I don't know if I can call like a Europe number with my phone. Then I call him on messenger
1:24
It will just be a video showing the gym and everything that the gym has
1:31
Showing the front desk and all the equipment and how people are using the gym
1:35
And then in return, I get to use the gym. Two days
1:39
Yeah, so I don't need it for one month or one week. Just because I'm leaving on Saturday
1:45
So just two days, Thursday, today and Friday. And then I'll make you the video
1:54
Are you going to be a professional video or...? Yeah, of course. Yeah, this is my job
1:58
The video will take probably about 30 minutes. Could you wait for 30 minutes
2:04
Okay, yeah, sure. Okay, yeah, that sounds good. Give me a minute
2:10
So right now I have another appointment and then after that I'll come back later
2:17
Okay, so today is Thursday. So I get back home on Saturday
2:21
I don't have like my laptop or anything on me so I'll be able to edit it and get it to you by Tuesday if that's alright
2:30
Okay, so I'll just get all the details All right So I spoke to these people yesterday and we booked an appointment today at 1 p.m. To come back for a facial in
2:42
Return I make them a promo video for their company. We're trading by butter people
2:51
Oh my lord, it looks amazing. Alright guys, so I'm about to head in for my hour-long fashion
3:05
So this is the before, then we're gonna see the after. You were proud of you
3:26
It was amazing. It really was. I feel like a newborn baby
3:30
Thank you so much. I'll get the video done and sent to you by next Tuesday. Okay. Amazing
3:37
Thank you. Bye. Amazing. Got some tea and some biscotti for breakfast
3:41
Got a gym membership. Got a free facial and a neck massage
3:45
Right now I'm going to head to the gym, get a workout, take a shower, freshen up, and
3:50
and then go look for some some food all right so there's a couch surfing meeting called language exchange at 7
4:05
30 right now I'm gonna head to the gym use I'm work out freshen up and then get
4:12
ready to head to the language exchange if I can like find some food in between
4:16
that time that'll be great because all I've had today is a coffee and some biscotti
4:29
so I just realized I don't have workout shoes and I don't think I really want to
4:36
work out in these so it's just gonna have to be socks on the floor I'm afraid
4:50
Radio radio Wake me up wake me up oh Wake me up wake me up oh Wake me up wake me up Oh, you have the strangest way
5:00
Of loving someone And it feels like it's all over Before it has begun
5:13
Oh but when we do collide We're playing no games Okay, thank you. Thanks. You hear you say thank you, they tell you hello
5:27
It's already night time. The event is starting in about 30 minutes
5:31
But before then, I want to get some food. I want to trade my service
5:35
Trade my videography service for some food before I go there. substantial something substantial already feeling the African vibes all
5:42
look for some African food you dig what I'm saying bro something substantial
5:51
so I'm finding with food shops it's a bit more tricky to offer a promo video in
5:57
exchange for some food it comes across a certain way it sounds a certain way as
6:02
well so what I might have to do or resort to is food waste that's my end right now
6:09
it's like closing time for most places so I can intercept right when they're
6:16
closing and see if they've got any food that they would otherwise throw away and
6:20
then I can just have that for you know dinner so let's try that let's see how
6:25
that does Oh, yeah, I wanted to ask. So I'm a videographer. I make videos
6:40
Yes. I was wondering if you needed a video of your business to promote online
6:46
Is that how much I pay for you? Instead of money, just give me maybe a plate of food
6:54
Ah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I don't know how to do because it's a yeah why don't don't need the money
7:03
because I'm like I don't have visa to work here from the UK UK you can have a
7:13
think about it no no no okay no worries so that last one kind of just proves my
7:20
point offering a service people automatically want to pay you for it and
7:25
And then when you tell them, no, no, you don't have to pay me. Just give me a plate of food instead
7:29
They look at you like, oh, like the mood changes immediately. They look at you like, they look at you from head to toe
7:35
That's a bit tricky. I think tomorrow I'm just going to be going for the money
7:39
I'm not going to go for offering, you know, trade by butter
7:43
I'm just going to say I want to offer you a promo video. You pay me so, so, so, so. Then we can just live lavish tomorrow
7:50
Not all this starving the whole day. It's almost 7.30 p.m. All I've had is coffee and a biscotti
7:55
allow it man okay let me let's keep trying let's keep trying i need to get something to eat tonight
8:00
and then head to the couch surfing meeting hello hello close oh you close
8:14
how are you i'm great thank you um my name is toba i'm a videographer i make videos i was wondering
8:22
Even if I could make you a video of your business, you can post online or Instagram, Facebook
8:29
and in return you don't pay me, you just give me your best day
8:33
Your best day, when you're going tomorrow this is very, very good. Yeah
8:37
Today I have a meet, today's... Oh, right, right, right. I have just meet here, meet today. Okay
8:44
This is okay, it's this, everything is this. Oh yeah, it's all finished. 7-7
8:49
What time tomorrow? I'm going to take one of our food problems. Okay, I will do
8:55
Okay, see you tomorrow. With food waste, sometimes the cameras are a bit hindering
9:01
Because you go into a business, you've got the camera rolling, you're asking them if they've got any food that they're going to throw away that you could have
9:09
And then that automatically shows that they waste food in that business
9:13
And then you're publicizing that to the whole world, it's not good for business
9:18
This company here, they waste food every evening. I mean, it's something we all know
9:22
but now like capturing it and showing it to the world, it's not good
9:28
Oh, hello. Hello Are you exposed No What time are you exposed Yeah I at 10 o 10 o Are you exposed No What time are you exposed Yeah I love it Turn of Turn of Are you the manager
9:41
Manager? Wait a minute. Yeah. Hello? Hi. Hi. Are you the manager
9:46
Yes. Oh, okay. So, my name's Tova. I'm a videographer. I make videos
9:51
I was wondering if I could make you a promo video for your business
9:56
you can post on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and instead of paying me you can give me some
10:04
stuff for me and my friends. You can eat a picture maybe. A little bit in English
10:15
Promo video of the store. No money just maybe some maybe some waffles for me and my friends
10:26
not too much not too much i i can't take money from you because i'm from the uk i don't have
10:32
visa to work yeah tomorrow yeah what time yeah two hours two o'clock yeah okay okay i'll see you
10:41
tomorrow at two yeah okay okay nice and have a good one so now i'm up in the stakes now i'm like
10:47
offsetting the value because when you're giving people more than what it's worth people look at
10:56
you like it seems a bit off or a bit dodgy when you hide the stakes then they're like oh then
11:03
they want to negotiate hello hello i'm good thank you how are you okay so my name is toba i'm a
11:13
videographer i make videos i was wondering if you wanted me to make you a video of your shop
11:19
that you can post online no sleep oh in the in the morning morning okay okay okay no worries okay
11:27
that was a good point as well a lot of people selling stuff all their stock are like run down
11:32
or almost empty or to the ground and that's where i'm going offering to make a promo video so i don't
11:38
I don't know if promo video is going to work for this time of the night
11:42
It might just have to be rescuing food waste. Alright so I'm currently at the couchsurfing language exchange event
12:01
There's a whole lot of people. So I'm going to hang out here for a little bit and bounce
12:08
All right, so it's getting a bit late now. I left the couch surfing meeting place
12:16
It just seemed like too full and crowded and you couldn't really like get into it
12:21
and like get to know people. Yeah, just walking around to see what the universe throws my way
12:27
First case scenario for tonight, there are some lovely benches here
12:40
And the benches here don't have the dividers in the middle to make you
12:44
when you're sleeping, to discourage you from sleeping on it. They're just lovely and just all there
12:57
yes I came to see if you're going free samples to try
13:03

13:22
I'll try one more some banana chips
13:37
thank you so much the taste of food I really felt like just staying there and trying everything
13:43

14:51
You know how people in Amma Celebrate, they bite that piece of tidy biscuit
14:55

15:19
Thank you Bye Hello The shop was cool as well They didn't mind me trying more Again
15:29
What's it called is it modesty I think that's coming to my downfall now
15:35
Actually just gone with the fingers And picked the whole lot Tried every single one of them
15:40
Okay this is new I don't know if the shop is called Half Price or this is their current discount
15:45
This, ladies and gentlemen, is called Buddha Eye. Alright, the part of us came to the test
16:01
What are the chances of me getting a free ride in the Buddha Eye
16:05
Let's see. Summon the courage of Toba. Hola. Hi, how are you
16:11
I'm fine So my name is Toba I'm in Budapest for a week
16:18
and I'm making videos about the city, showing off the city So I was hoping to get onto here
16:25
to have a better view to show off the city and show off my experience on it as well
16:31
That's my manager Sorry, he said you need to buy the tickets
16:36
I can't see. Oh, right, right, right. Okay, no worries. Thank you. I blame it on language differences
16:44
I'm usually good at persuading. All right, so I found another couch surfing group, a smaller group
16:53
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven people, including myself. They're meeting up at a bar
16:57
So I'm going to head over there. I've checked out the bar. The bar is open until 3 a.m
17:02
So that's looking good. And then people are talking about, yeah, come here then we'll go to dance to the party after. So there's prospects tonight
17:13
so either party the night away or I don't know I'm hungry and I'm tired yeah I
17:18
wanna sleep and I wanna eat. It's super cool vibes in here smells like popcorn
17:25
