All right, today I'm in Berlin Germany and I'm gonna be surviving on one euros
0:04
Breakfast, lunch and dinner for one euro. Don't know how I'm gonna do this. Let's explore
0:12
All right, so I'm currently at the central station I'm gonna walk around see if I can find any cafes that possibly have something for one euros
0:21
One thing Germany is good for is a lot of vegan options. Oh, how much how much is a slice
0:26
Four euros This one's three euros. Flipping heck. Is there anywhere that has one euro slice of pizzas
0:36
No, not in Berlin. No, no, right? Thank you. I'm slowly starting to find this challenge impossible
0:42
A slice of pizza, three euros, four euros. Croissants, two euros. Would you guys be able to tell me if I can get anything at all for one euros
0:53
Is there anything I can buy for one euro? Thank you. Thanks. No worries. Okay. I'm starting to get
0:58
the feeling if i want to get anything for this price i probably need to leave the shopping center
1:03
or like the outlet let's see if burger king has anything hello do you know if there's anything i
1:08
can get for one euro no not even like chips or no everything's over one euros oh wow okay thank
1:21
you so much thank you all right so i've just found a store netto i have no idea what marking means
1:26
but I know what discount means, yes please. Granted there are quite a few cheap pastries
1:31
the only thing is what to eat it with. First I thought peanut butter or Nutella or jam. So with
1:37
my one euro I can get bread for 45 cents but then I don't want to chow bread just by itself. You
1:44
want to dip it in something or like spread something on it or even drink it with tea
1:50
All right, I figured it out. So I found cafe, which is a coffee drink for 79 cents
1:58
All right, bear with me. And a piece of bread for 17 cents
2:06
Voila, breakfast is served. Also, I like the thing they use to pick the breads
2:12
They use this whole contraption and stick it in, and then they're pulling it out. In the UK, everyone just sticks their grubby hands in it
2:18
17 pence it leaves me with 4 cents left Thank you guys have a good one I found some tables outside where people can just stand and have their meal So breakfast is served
2:31
I feel like I should probably wash my hands before I touch this and maybe lotion them as well
2:41
This smells absolutely fantastic. Oh, that's delicious that. hmm okay German architecture at its finest so now I've got four cents left for lunch and dinner but
2:54
I managed to find something on couchsurfing and I think it's a Diwali festival celebration something
3:02
like that it goes we would like to invite you to celebrate Diwali with us let this auspicious
3:06
festival of lights fill your hearts with happiness and we will relish blessed food
3:11
Prasadam together. Okay so it sounds like a Diwali celebration where there'll be a good atmosphere
3:20
with other travelers and free food. So now I need to find this place. Are you guys coming from the
3:26
Diwali celebration? Amazing where is it? Is it just straight down there? In this door? Oh thank you so
3:33
much thank you have a good one guys. Hello. Hi how are you? I'm good thanks. I don't know how to
3:41
Thank you. Am I? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Alright, I'm going to go light a candle
4:02
Okay, so I've gone up and I've lit a candle and I've put it in the rice
4:06
And I didn't want to be too disrespectful, so I thought I probably shouldn't film that
4:11
Plus, if my mom saw me lighting a candle for a different religion, I'd be very, very pissed
4:36
Thank you so much. Thank you. Flipping heck, I stayed in there so long it's already dark out
4:42
I didn want to just go in and grab some food Excuse me Hello
4:53
I'm so sorry. You don't happen to have like a plastic fork or spoon, do you
4:58
A plastic what? A plastic fork or plastic spoon. Oh no, this would be great
5:03
Thank you so much. Yeah, what is it? This one will do
5:07
Thank you so much. This will make me sophisticated. I'll take the whole lot
5:12
Thank you. Thanks. Thank you so much. Thank you. I'm being super, super cheeky right now
5:20
The lady that's just offered me a fork, I'm sitting outside her restaurant and having dinner from outside
5:26
Outside food, how dare you? So there's a foil. And then you open this and then there's rice under it
5:33
The one on top is sweet. The one at the bottom is savory, which is rice
5:38
It's delicious, but it's an acquired taste. All right, let's try this rice. Oh my god, what the heck
5:45
No, the rice is really good. Super, super tasty. This is how people stumble upon amazing recipes
5:52
You never know. Oh my god, we have a surprise in there. It looks like either a walnut or something
6:02
Perseverance. We got like a little almond. Is it an almond? went in berlin eh that was dea licious i feel like that kind of counts as dinner since it's
6:16
nighttime but i can stretch i can push and try and find dinner still all right i found something else
6:22
again on couch surfing it goes open kitchen for all halloween special happy days this week why not
6:30
have a halloween theme so feel free to have autumn food pumpkin spice punch and scary presentation
6:36
but really not stress all is welcome the idea of this event is each one brings ingredients for one
6:43
dish for amount of roughly three or four people so everyone can have a taste of each dish can be
6:49
starter main or desserts it sounds like a splendor sounds magnificent just free food everywhere happy
6:55
days i'm heading there for dinner the only problem is i don't have any cooked food or any ingredients
7:01
It on me so I might have to just show up empty handed see if they accept me Let go My name is Toba Hi everyone I from Couchsurfing At least I found out about this on Couchsurfing
7:20
Now the only thing is though, I came empty-handed. Are you taking the video? I came empty-handed
7:26
Okay. Oh yeah? So it's gonna be on you to clean the floor in the end
7:32
Okay, I don't mind. That's an easy rule. No, I don't mind. I don't mind. I'll do the dishes, I'll clean the floor. I'm here for it
7:39
It's an easy rule because every time there's somebody who doesn't bring anything, which is completely fine
7:43
but you're most welcome to help with the cleaning. Of course, I'm down for it. Okay. It sounds good. It smells delicious as well
7:56
