Broke In Budapest - Day 4 Working from the streets

Morning, day floor broke in Budapest

It's been an interesting journey so far. Yesterday I discovered trading by Bata

offering my service, which is videography, making them a promotional video for their company

In return for anything I need, a haircut, some food. So today we're going to continue that

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

I wonder like just I want to see how far I could I could go with this. So yeah

Let's let's get to it. But one more day to go. I'm very happy about that then I can go home

Hello. Can I speak to the manager please? He's not here right now. But you can call him

Okay. I don't know if I can call like a Europe number with my phone. Then I call him on messenger

It will just be a video showing the gym and everything that the gym has

Showing the front desk and all the equipment and how people are using the gym

And then in return, I get to use the gym. Two days

Yeah, so I don't need it for one month or one week. Just because I'm leaving on Saturday

So just two days, Thursday, today and Friday. And then I'll make you the video

Are you going to be a professional video or...? Yeah, of course. Yeah, this is my job

The video will take probably about 30 minutes. Could you wait for 30 minutes

Okay, yeah, sure. Okay, yeah, that sounds good. Give me a minute

So right now I have another appointment and then after that I'll come back later

Okay, so today is Thursday. So I get back home on Saturday

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

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

Return I make them a promo video for their company. We're trading by butter people

Oh my lord, it looks amazing. Alright guys, so I'm about to head in for my hour-long fashion

So this is the before, then we're gonna see the after. You were proud of you

It was amazing. It really was. I feel like a newborn baby

Thank you so much. I'll get the video done and sent to you by next Tuesday. Okay. Amazing

Thank you. Bye. Amazing. Got some tea and some biscotti for breakfast

Got a gym membership. Got a free facial and a neck massage

Right now I'm going to head to the gym, get a workout, take a shower, freshen up, and

and then go look for some some food all right so there's a couch surfing meeting called language exchange at 7

30 right now I'm gonna head to the gym use I'm work out freshen up and then get

ready to head to the language exchange if I can like find some food in between

that time that'll be great because all I've had today is a coffee and some biscotti

so I just realized I don't have workout shoes and I don't think I really want to

work out in these so it's just gonna have to be socks on the floor I'm afraid

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

Of loving someone And it feels like it's all over Before it has begun

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

It's already night time. The event is starting in about 30 minutes

But before then, I want to get some food. I want to trade my service

Trade my videography service for some food before I go there. substantial something substantial already feeling the African vibes all

look for some African food you dig what I'm saying bro something substantial

so I'm finding with food shops it's a bit more tricky to offer a promo video in

exchange for some food it comes across a certain way it sounds a certain way as

well so what I might have to do or resort to is food waste that's my end right now

it's like closing time for most places so I can intercept right when they're

closing and see if they've got any food that they would otherwise throw away and

then I can just have that for you know dinner so let's try that let's see how

that does Oh, yeah, I wanted to ask. So I'm a videographer. I make videos

Yes. I was wondering if you needed a video of your business to promote online

Is that how much I pay for you? Instead of money, just give me maybe a plate of food

Ah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I don't know how to do because it's a yeah why don't don't need the money

because I'm like I don't have visa to work here from the UK UK you can have a

think about it no no no okay no worries so that last one kind of just proves my

point offering a service people automatically want to pay you for it and

And then when you tell them, no, no, you don't have to pay me. Just give me a plate of food instead

They look at you like, oh, like the mood changes immediately. They look at you like, they look at you from head to toe

That's a bit tricky. I think tomorrow I'm just going to be going for the money

I'm not going to go for offering, you know, trade by butter

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

Not all this starving the whole day. It's almost 7.30 p.m. All I've had is coffee and a biscotti

allow it man okay let me let's keep trying let's keep trying i need to get something to eat tonight

and then head to the couch surfing meeting hello hello close oh you close

how are you i'm great thank you um my name is toba i'm a videographer i make videos i was wondering

Even if I could make you a video of your business, you can post online or Instagram, Facebook

and in return you don't pay me, you just give me your best day

Your best day, when you're going tomorrow this is very, very good. Yeah

Today I have a meet, today's... Oh, right, right, right. I have just meet here, meet today. Okay

This is okay, it's this, everything is this. Oh yeah, it's all finished. 7-7

What time tomorrow? I'm going to take one of our food problems. Okay, I will do

Okay, see you tomorrow. With food waste, sometimes the cameras are a bit hindering

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

And then that automatically shows that they waste food in that business

And then you're publicizing that to the whole world, it's not good for business

This company here, they waste food every evening. I mean, it's something we all know

but now like capturing it and showing it to the world, it's not good

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

Manager? Wait a minute. Yeah. Hello? Hi. Hi. Are you the manager

Yes. Oh, okay. So, my name's Tova. I'm a videographer. I make videos

I was wondering if I could make you a promo video for your business

you can post on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and instead of paying me you can give me some

stuff for me and my friends. You can eat a picture maybe. A little bit in English

Promo video of the store. No money just maybe some maybe some waffles for me and my friends

not too much not too much i i can't take money from you because i'm from the uk i don't have

visa to work yeah tomorrow yeah what time yeah two hours two o'clock yeah okay okay i'll see you

tomorrow at two yeah okay okay nice and have a good one so now i'm up in the stakes now i'm like

offsetting the value because when you're giving people more than what it's worth people look at

you like it seems a bit off or a bit dodgy when you hide the stakes then they're like oh then

they want to negotiate hello hello i'm good thank you how are you okay so my name is toba i'm a

videographer i make videos i was wondering if you wanted me to make you a video of your shop

that you can post online no sleep oh in the in the morning morning okay okay okay no worries okay

that was a good point as well a lot of people selling stuff all their stock are like run down

or almost empty or to the ground and that's where i'm going offering to make a promo video so i don't

I don't know if promo video is going to work for this time of the night

It might just have to be rescuing food waste. Alright so I'm currently at the couchsurfing language exchange event

There's a whole lot of people. So I'm going to hang out here for a little bit and bounce

All right, so it's getting a bit late now. I left the couch surfing meeting place

It just seemed like too full and crowded and you couldn't really like get into it

and like get to know people. Yeah, just walking around to see what the universe throws my way

First case scenario for tonight, there are some lovely benches here

And the benches here don't have the dividers in the middle to make you

when you're sleeping, to discourage you from sleeping on it. They're just lovely and just all there

yes I came to see if you're going free samples to try

you can try it I give you a book yeah and you can try which one can I try

anything what you want what you like I've been granted the power to try well I won't take a piss in it I'll try maybe

I'll try one more some banana chips

thank you so much the taste of food I really felt like just staying there and trying everything

but I didn't want to take the piss back home I would have I would have done that

okay so I found another one this one's a sweet shop sweet shop so they don't have peanuts in there sweets I don't really fancy too

much I want food food food food food food food I miss food

I'm wondering if you've got any free any samples to try which one can I try

I can try whatever I want yes do I have the magic gloves to try it or you just You just can take it with that Okay which one do you recommend Do you like strawberry Yeah There is strawberry with milk chocolate dried strawberry That my favorite Okay so here we have

strawberry coated in milk chocolate. I shouldn't be having milk chocolate but when in hunger shush shush

I don't think I can express to you guys how I'm feeling

You know how people in Amma Celebrate, they bite that piece of tidy biscuit

That's how I feel. Do you like eyeballs? Do you like eyeballs

I've never tried eyeballs. Just try one. Where is it? There. Oh

We're gonna try some eyeballs. It's like a Haribo Delicious thank you so much

Thank you Bye Hello The shop was cool as well They didn't mind me trying more Again

What's it called is it modesty I think that's coming to my downfall now

Actually just gone with the fingers And picked the whole lot Tried every single one of them

Okay this is new I don't know if the shop is called Half Price or this is their current discount

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called Buddha Eye. Alright, the part of us came to the test

What are the chances of me getting a free ride in the Buddha Eye

Let's see. Summon the courage of Toba. Hola. Hi, how are you

I'm fine So my name is Toba I'm in Budapest for a week

and I'm making videos about the city, showing off the city So I was hoping to get onto here

to have a better view to show off the city and show off my experience on it as well

That's my manager Sorry, he said you need to buy the tickets

I can't see. Oh, right, right, right. Okay, no worries. Thank you. I blame it on language differences

I'm usually good at persuading. All right, so I found another couch surfing group, a smaller group

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven people, including myself. They're meeting up at a bar

So I'm going to head over there. I've checked out the bar. The bar is open until 3 a.m

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

so either party the night away or I don't know I'm hungry and I'm tired yeah I

wanna sleep and I wanna eat. It's super cool vibes in here smells like popcorn

2am. Couldn't get into the club because you need to pay 200, 2,000

pints or fence. You need to pay to get in. Out in these streets. Currently just walking around

Couldn't get into the club because apparently you need to pay for it. So just out in these streets
