View Video Transcript
0:07
so i happened to arrive in berlin germany a day before lockdown now one of the lockdown rules is
0:36
no hotels or hostels are open to tourists. Now I am in a hostel right now well I guess I'm about
0:44
to get kicked out because I've just been given this slip to fill in to state the reason I'm in
0:53
Berlin. Well I'm not here on an internship. I'm not here house seeking. Technically I'm here
1:03
professionally because I'm working filming this video but if I were you and
1:11
I wasn't here professionally what would happen I know I'm gonna regret this but
1:18
let's find out Hello? We are not allowed to have tourists in the hostel right now
1:35
Oh, so what can I do? Well, you are not allowed to stay here
1:40
What is your room number? Is there anywhere I am allowed to stay
1:45
I am not sure if there is like another place you have to like call them or visit them
1:50
so I have to leave now yes all right so we're out on the street there's a hotel right here that I'm gonna try and
2:03
see if I can get a room can I book a room for tonight yes please I'm sorry but we don't
2:10
have any clients right now you don't have any clients we are closed oh you're closed
2:15
Alright no luck there, those ones just happen to be closed to everyone
2:20
There's another hotel right here that I'm going to give another go
2:24
This is getting real slowly. Hi. Hello. I was wondering if I could book a room
2:34
If you are a business guest then yeah, leisure is not allowed due to Corona
2:41
So if I was just a tourist? not allowed unfortunately. So where would I give it to go if I was a tourist? Actually
2:49
in Berlin it not allowed to rent something right now to tourists i gonna try and thank you so much thank you
3:02
now i'm not too sure what's supposed to happen right now but to be honest neither do they
3:07
all they know is they can't accommodate you so you have to just get out and sort yourself out
3:20
I was wondering if I could book a room
3:34
Why do you want to book a room? Because I'm in Berlin
3:38
Yeah but for what reason are you in Berlin? Oh I just came to check it out for a few days
3:45
So only if you have a business if you're asking a business
3:48
so it's unfortunate not possible here for the... thank you you're welcome
3:57
all right so now they're saying i need a business address or i need a letter from my
4:01
company to say the reason i'm here there's another hostel right here the generator
4:10
let's see I'm going to go to Berlin. Yeah
4:20
Okay, so I'm going to be completely honest with you. I'm a tourist that's stuck in Berlin right now, in lockdown, and have nowhere to go
4:27
Is there anything you can help me with? Yeah, wait a minute
4:31
Are you searching for accommodation? Yeah. Hello! Hello! Alright, so I don't have a lot of options here
4:45
every hostel and hotel keeps telling me no all i have to resort to is either couch surfing which
4:52
i'm not too excited about they've let me down a lot in the past so the thought of that doesn't
4:58
excite me at all or tinder but that is like 50 50 you need need the heavens to come down and save
5:05
you with that one the other option would be either to sleep on the street that's all you're really
5:11
left with or to try and blag it and just lie and say you're here on business but you know like they
5:19
want to check where's your where's your business contract or this document from your thingy that
5:24
says you're here on business so it's getting a bit complicated and i don't know i don't know what
5:32
to do to be honest another option because this is a really nice hostel would be to like just hang
5:38
out here until evening and then maybe if you find someone and then you get talking and then you buy a few drinks and then maybe she lets you stay and then no one asking for documents or if you meant to be here but that a long shot 11 euros a night for an eight dorm room which isn
5:58
too bad to be fair compared to the other one when i booked the other one i booked it for the whole
6:03
week and then i'm sure a lot of you guys are like me when you're about to book something or buy
6:07
something online you open up another tab and then look for discount codes for it because hey who
6:12
wouldn't like a discount well pouch who happened to be sponsoring this video thank you so much
6:19
they came to me and said tobo you don't have to go for all that stress looking for discount codes
6:22
i'm like no they're like no like all i have to do is add their free extension to my browser
6:27
and it searches the webs for all the discount codes and just supplies it immediately like
6:32
all that stress god right well i said happy days ta very much and i would like to share this with
6:38
you guys as well since i'm guessing that's why you come to this channel and watch these videos
6:42
to save money and get discounts. Now, especially Black Friday coming up
6:46
you guys are hearing this right on time to get all that discount. Now, this works in over 3,000 UK websites
6:52
which are more than other similar extensions. You're getting the top, the creme de la creme from the hack
6:58
So for example, if you're stuck at home in lockdown, as we all are right now
7:02
and you want to order a pizza, Pouch will automatically pop up and show you all the discounts
7:07
you can add onto your pizza. You're welcome. So click the link in my description
7:11
to join pouch for free and save all that black friday discounts and let me know if you do comment below
7:16
all right so turns out there's a loophole so if your flight has been cancelled for some reason and
7:35
you can't go back home and you're actually stuck here out of your control then they will let you
7:41
stay in the hostels and hotel guys can i ask you a question so i'm a tourist in berlin yeah and
7:47
then knowing the new lockdown rules um hotels and hostels aren't allowed to have me how do you guys
7:53
feel about that where do you sleep i've got nowhere to sleep oh and airbnb maybe airbnb
8:00
yeah does it work yeah like private apartments yeah oh okay i haven't thought of that yeah no
8:05
thank you i will i will thank you so much i mean people seem really nice here they've got good
8:10
advice as well to help you out some say like just keep traveling get on the train and go to another
8:15
city that doesn't have the lockdown rule others say try airbnb because that isn't as strict
8:22
as you know a hotel or a hostel the new lockdown rule is hotels and hostels aren't accepting
8:30
tourists how do you guys feel about that because if a tourist is in berlin like i am there's almost
8:38
nothing you can do. Yeah but I mean also if you travel and you don seem like you just travel for one time you kind of have to get informed where you travel to no Fair enough That a good point I mean it a responsibility a little bit if you go somewhere
8:53
It is. It is. Fair enough. You can sleep on the train, so it's an adventure. So the advice from the locals is to just keep going
9:01
Like, it's your responsibility. You should have checked out the conditions and all that
9:06
Fair enough. I hear that. Now I am being affected by those restrictions so these are the people I should be pitching
9:45
by sales pitch for where I am going to rest my head tonight
10:09
all right so i'm at the airport i've got a flight to sweden in about two hours i was just interested
10:20
to see what would happen if a tourist was actually stuck in the city with nowhere to sleep it was fun
10:26
you've got a few options you've got airbnb you've got you know work now big shout out to pouch for
10:31
