Broke In Budapest - Day 5 Making friends

Morning, day five broke in Budapest. Last day, very very happy

The timer right now is 12 p.m. and I started the video saying morning. Which brings me to

the little discussion I want to have or the little clarification. So I'm going to be breaking the

breaking the fourth wall of the vlogging style if that makes sense so me being on a challenge

is like a movie sort of thing that you guys are watching and now i'm stepping out of that

to explain behind the scenes of the challenge i guess maybe it kind of counts as breaking the

fourth wall but i just want to explain what happens behind the scenes that you guys don't know this morning i've been up and out and everywhere i've got my flight back tomorrow

So I've had to go and do a PCR test. I'm on a survival challenge with no money yet

I'm doing a PCR test. These are the things that happen in reality

That you don't get to see in the video something like day two the camera batteries died

Phone battery died everything was dead. I go in somewhere trying to charge it my UK plug doesn't fit into the socket

I'm walking around asking for socket asking for an adapter so I can charge everything and power up the challenge couldn't find it

So I had to resort to buying an adapter just so the whole production of this series can continue

So things like that I'm bringing to awareness or bringing to the forefront of things

So you guys can understand. You get to see a snippet of what actually happens

So I'm here 24 hours in a day. You see 10 to 15 minutes of that 24 hours

So I don't want anyone watching the video thinking, oh, this is really what happens

This is what he's going for. there's so much more things that happen in the day that I either choose to leave

out or to not even record and I just want everyone to be aware of that okay

right now it's raining I'm under a tree to record this my camera is getting wet

so I'm going to probably chill somewhere until it stops raining and then I'll

crack on with the day so I haven't taken the train yet all since I've been here so let's check that out

Alright, so I think I'm going to start the day at the gym

I've still got my membership card that I got yesterday by offering my videography service in return for a gym membership which works

so swimmingly it's unfortunate I'm only here for two days if not I'll just

stretch it out for a month or a year or however long. I'm gonna head to the gym and work out freshen up and then go look for some food

How long is this valid

How many times can I come and use it? until 24th of December

Until 24th of December? Yeah. Aw, shame. Thank you. This is my last day Thank you Thanks Have a good one Underground here is the only place you can hide from the rain and this unfortunately is where some people spend

their days their nights their months there you can just see like an array of

people sleeping on the side some people hustling they're playing music I'll see

if I can get a shot without being rude Budapest is ahead of us in terms of adverts. So in the UK we've got adverts on the walls but not on these. So this is what's coming soon

so yesterday i came to this waffle house and i asked to make a promotional video in return i get

um three waffles for me and my friend so he told me to come back today so let's see

Hello. Hi. Hi, how are you? Is this time okay or no? No. No? Okay. Sorry. Okay, no worries

So I came slightly late. It's 3 o'clock or 3... What time is it? 3.20. And the appointment was for 2 o'clock. What can you do? Okay. Let's crack on

Hello, is the manager? Is the manager? Okay, so the boss? No

They're not in? Not in. Okay. Is the manager? She's working. She will come down after I will

If I was staying a bit longer, all these contacts that I'm getting would be great

People don't want to film a promotional video on the spot and pay you money for it

They want to book appointments on Monday or next week, which isn't ideal for my situation

It's getting dark and I don't want today to go to waste me just walking around

offering people to make videos and like I want to do something more with today

I want to give back a little bit. So I just need to figure out how to do that. Okay, so I've been chilling in the lobby area of a hostel for the past few bits

It's been pouring down the whole day, just absolute miserable weather. You don't have room to do anything really

And now it's getting dark, it's still raining. It's just been difficult filming the whole day today

I've either been like running to find shade or hide my camera so it doesn't get wet and yeah

It's been interesting. What I'm gonna do right now is I want to do something before I leave. Not the day I envisioned but

You take what you get I put myself in a challenge that I don't have any money and I'm surviving in a city

But now I'm trying to find people who are going through the same thing that can help me understand

understand what they're going through and how I can possibly help. He doesn't want to show his face, so I'm going to have to respect his privacy

And we'll try and conduct this interview without showing his face. What's your name

My name is Frank. Frank. Yeah. And where are you from? I'm from Germany

Germany Yeah Frankfurt Frankfurt Yeah Yeah and I come to Hungary to go to my country So you came to Hungary and then you want to go to Germany

No, to my country. Where is your country? My country is Bulgaria

Bulgaria? Yeah. When do you want to go? I go to my aunt

So your auntie's house? Yeah. Yeah. How are you going to get there

I look for my friend, send me money. Yeah. When he sent me money, then I can go to my aunt and my aunt can help me

My friend from Germany sent me money for one ticket and I can go

I have a little problem. I come to Hungary and the problem is I have no pass

I have documents. I come to the world. I have one document

In this document, staying my name, my birthday. When you came to Budapest, how much did you come with

I come with one ticket. Just one ticket? Yeah. No money? No money

So how have you been surviving? Getting food or somewhere to sleep? Yeah, I ask people

People, I ask people. Where are you going to sleep tonight? I don't have, you know, I wait

I look for help me or one person or so. I call tomorrow my friend

So you don't have anywhere to sleep tonight? Yeah, yes. How long do you want to stay in Budapest

I'm happy when I can go tomorrow or today. It's better for me

So you're just trying to go back to Bulgaria? Yeah, yes, yes

Whenever you can go, you can go? Yeah. Okay, and how much is the ticket

Airport flight 18 euros and flexibus 74. From what I can understand, he's come from Germany to Budapest with absolutely nothing

but just a ticket. And now he's been stuck in Budapest for how many days

2nd November. 2nd November? Yeah, 2nd November. To Budapest. Where have you been sleeping

I ask much, no, no, not much, it's okay, eight or seven, help me

One night, one night, next day, I ask, say, no, you have one document, we have one passport

I say, I say, I don't have a passport, I can go with one document and it's better for me

Do you have family in Bulgaria? Yes. What will you do when you get to Bulgaria

I go to my aunt. You have a auntie in Bulgaria? Yes

And she will help them? Yeah, sure. Okay so we're in Burger King and we're currently looking for flights and buses that are going

to Bulgaria. Getting a bit complicated because he needs a passport to travel

He's tried in the past and they've said the pass that he has on him doesn't work and he

needs a passport. I'm just remembering my trip to Spain and me trying to help Peter cross the peninsula

and us trying everything and it no working because they didn't have a passport either

I hope that same thing doesn't happen here because I really want to help

To get into Bulgaria, he needs a pass. The pass is 50 euros

He also needs a ticket which is about 10 euros. To get the pass, he needs to go to the embassy

The embassy isn't open this weekend, plus I'm leaving so that's complicated

If we bought the ticket online, you need a way to show the ticket to the person at the bus stop

And he doesn't have a phone or any way to show the ticket to the person. So that's another complexity to it

And I think he might also need a PCR test. The solution we come to is to go around find someone that I can transfer some money to and then they can cash it out and then i can give him the money to go to the embassy on monday get his pass get his ticket get maybe the test or whatever else he

needs and then head off obviously with that as well there are other um possibilities that could

happen but we're gonna we're gonna go with trust and he seems like a decent guy he seems like he

really is trying to get home so we're on a mission to find someone to help us achieve our goal okay

let's go good how are you i am great thanks i'm trying to get some money i'm trying to cash some

money out uh-huh i don't have my wallet on me but i have my paypal so is it possible to transfer you

maybe a hundred euros via PayPal and then I can cash you can help me cash out

I only have an OTAB account so sorry guys I've got a question yeah has any of you got a PayPal account

which one? yeah I have one. you have a PayPal account? amazing so can I send you a hundred euros to your PayPal account and then you can just help me cash it out Yeah

Okay, we're making progress we found a lovely guy who is willing to help us achieve our goal

Okay, so we're being sorted now. We've got the cash and we've got a room for a night

For the pass is 50 euro that's This is just for maybe like food and well-being and stuff and then a room for the night as well

Thank you, thank you much. Mate, if anything you've got my name, my email, contacts

So big, okay, nice. Check this out. I wish you the best of luck

Thank you, thank you. And you too. Thank you so much. Have a good one, mate

Have a good one. Thank you. We have reached the end of the challenge. It's currently 1am. I've got my flight at 6am. I'm

going to hang around or maybe just go to the airport and just stay there. As much as these

things, these are challenges for me. When I meet people that are actually going through it, it just

leaves me with no way. The complex web of how they got themselves into the situation and how they can

get themselves out of it. It seems when they're in the situation, there's like just so many

loopholes to go to actually either get them home or get them where they need to be or people don't

choose to like be stuck in a country with no money it's circumstance and situations that either brings

them here and then they're stuck they don't have papers they're trying to go they don't have money

they want to work they can't they don't have papers to work what can they do where can they go

that's why they end up begging for money or just sleeping on the street i feel like we definitely

need to be more considerate of people in those situations and we can just help in any way any

way we can lend a hand organization definitely needs to rise up to try and help those people and

yeah it might be a branch of the hack we'll see we'll see how it all goes i've enjoyed this

experience i hope you guys have as much as i have and i'll see you guys in the next one enjoy the

the rest of your day. Peace
