Morning, day 2. Surviving in Copenhagen for 48 hours with only a hundred dollars
0:07
Now yesterday we spent a ridiculous amount and now we're down to 101
0:15
cram. Danish cram. Which in pounds is about 10 pounds. In dollars maybe about 13, 14
0:24
I'm good. Thanks. I just tried to use the gym and it's not letting me in
0:49
Yeah, because the gym is 20 kronor. How is it? For two hours
0:53
So you just pay it here and you get a separate like bracelet to get it. And is the swimming pool free or
0:58
It's also 20 for an hour. 20 each? Yeah. Oh. Thank you so much, mate
1:07
Thank you. Right, so here I was thinking I was saving money going for a hostel that had everything in it
1:15
Just to find out I still need to pay for everything. Come on
1:19
Okay, 20 kroners is about two pounds. If it's for a day, it's not too bad
1:38
The 20 kroners for the gym, bringing my total to 90 kroners for today
1:45
I bought some oats yesterday and some milk, so that's breakfast sorted
1:49
After that we can go out and see what 90 crowds can get us in Denmark
2:14
Not the biggest gym But it's got most of the things you need in it
2:18
Alright guys, so I wasn't able to show you my room last night because there were 4 people
2:23
I think there were 5 people in the room actually But right now, there's a lady cleaning a spare room
2:30
So I want to show you guys what the whole room looks like
2:34
But our one is really messy, I'll show you in a minute But let me show you what you actually get for £20
2:43
I don't know, the cleaner is a little bit shy for some reason I'm not going to do it
2:47
Okay, fair enough. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. Okay, no worries
2:52
Okay, so this is a standard bed. I've stayed in hostels in the past where they don't even make the bed
2:59
They just put the sheets on top of it. They put the duvet on top of it
3:03
They put the... I don't know if you even get towels. But here you get towels
3:07
So they're definitely additives to what you've paid in the price. So that's why I like it
3:15
You get extra little additions like a towel and your bed is made and
3:20
Just cleanliness and even the lockers as well And you get amazing
3:26
Cleaners like this. No All right, I'm just gonna show you guys
3:32
My room quickly We have five people in here, so it is a bit crowded and a bit messy, but that's right
3:45
Yeah This is my bed up here So last night I did some preparation and got oats and milk
4:00
This is 13 croons. This is 12 croons, 25 croons. If I were to go out and have breakfast, it would probably come up to 50, 60 croons
4:39
bike rental yes how much are they three hours it's uh 75 cronus what oh i know how many hours
4:49
do you need i've got 90 crones for the rest of the day okay all right so we've got 90 crone
4:56
to explore today i've just had breakfast so i'm happy i want to do something fun i need to save
5:03
at least half of my 90 full food and then the other half for something fun i've already got a
5:09
bed for the night. I've got a cinema room in there, I've got a comedy show going on
5:13
I've got loads of stuff going on in there so I'm happy about that. It's not too bad
5:17
so far. Let's do some touristy stuff today and explore the city
5:39
Thank you
6:14
Copenhagen seems to be big on random little quirky interesting things
7:14
Thank you. Thanks. Alright so I just run in from the rain And I ran into this lovely lady in this shade and I think You selling crepes are you Yeah Alright the shade was great but unfortunately it not vegan
7:38
I see some crepes over here. I want to find a decent meal
7:42
Guys, I'm in the room and you can meet some of my roommates
7:58
Hello, mate. Well, I'm Lucas and I'm not going to go into details because it's too long and too complicated
8:07
but basically I'm French and I'm here looking for a job in Copenhagen
8:13
You're looking for a job in Copenhagen? Yep. How much did you come with
8:19
Not a lot, like just over 2000 euros I think. And have you managed it pretty well or
8:27
Well so far we've been here for a day so we can't say how much we've managed
8:32
Yeah that's right we arrived just last night. I mean you've got a lot of money though
8:37
that's not a lot I'm guessing you'd want to stay here would you yeah the good
8:43
thing is the practical part for me is that I already speak five languages so
8:49
it's going well easy for me to find a job okay and then your room is just
8:54
really this is my cousin it's my cousin no no public it no worries have you have
9:02
Have you guys heard of Christiania? Yes, we've been there yesterday and they went again today to get some illegal merchandise
9:12
Do you know why they let them run that place or? I don't know. I have no idea
9:30
Right, so it's evening now. The cheapest food I can find so far is Burger King
9:35
10 croons for a burger. You won't really find that anywhere. I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt
9:43
and try and explore the city a little bit more and find some maybe local traditional foods
9:49
other than Burger King, which is cheap as well, preferably. Alright so I found a local kebab shop, slightly more expensive than Bird King but hey, we're
10:15
gonna try a falafel wrap for 40 croons. Now the thing with travelling on a budget is I've got so much now that I'm thinking of
10:50
ways to spend it. I'm literally walking around with the intention to spend what can I spend
10:57
the rest of this money on. All right, it's a very busy place
11:28
Those are people around playing board games. The one that interests me the most, I must say, is chess
11:34
Whenever I see someone playing chess, I'm immediately on it. I want to see what they're playing
11:40
Are you guys experts at playing chess? Uh, no. No? I wouldn't say so
11:46
Would you guys like to teach me how to play? Teach you how to play
11:50
I want to learn how to play. In other words... Yeah, I'm not the best at chess, I must admit. Definitely need to brush up on my skills
12:17
Although I have just found a hostel slash bar situation going on. So let's check it out
12:25
All right guys, so we've got 50 croons left. Now I've got two options. I can either get a beer for 50
12:41
croons or I can get a shot which says 25 croons and I can maybe share it with the bartender
12:51
Would you like to have a shot with me? Yeah, okay. Tequila
13:24
Alright guys, so I'm still at the bar and apparently there's an improv comedy show downstairs that
13:29
I definitely can't miss. If anything, I want to get involved and just be able to improvise continuously forever
13:42
I came to join the improv comedy
13:52
Oh, cheers. Cheers to you guys. Oh, okay, okay, no worries. Oh, guys, I can't record the improv, but I'm going to have fun
14:07
I'll tell you how it goes later. All right, so the improv class had just finished
14:21
Absolutely fantastic, amazing. Loads of role plays, loads of games, really good
14:27
