  • After a great 5 days in the French Rivera, I finally left the South of France. Join me on my very last day in Nice and board the flight with me to Krakow, Poland, which will be my very last stop before headed back to Ukraine.

    Well as this world tour nears its end, it's been fun "traveling along" with you. I wish you safety as you head back. It was funny to see that YOU watch Jake for updates like I do. Seeing you grow over the years (well, I'm talking about on the inside 🙂) has been great. As I gear up to go back out into the world in a few months, I encourage people to also do it if it's possible. There's a lot of ways to be international--and I think you've shown a unique path.
    The only teeny tiny thing I might add is, since I don't watch every single video and know if you've covered it is; your health. If you're not doing it, I would say, have a medical routine you do yearly or regularly; your teeth, your eyes, your heart, your blood work, unidentified aches, etc,. Getting in front of things before they become an issue is ideal...

    Nice! Is this the end of frugal Johnny? I hope not! From what you have shown, it looks to be a great place and I'm sure you will be able to save a buck or two around town! Was wondering which was better, the strawberry's in Greece or the strawberry's in France (The ones in Greece seemed bigger. Must be the radiation from Türkiye😂😂)? Glad your on your way back home (Ukraine). Looking forward to seeing Poland!

    • @JohnnyFD
      @JohnnyFD  Місяць тому +1

      The ones in France tasted different, more velvety if that's a word. I think the Greek ones were sugar sweet in a big bite, which is nice, but the French ones were delicious and sweet in a more delicate way.

    Johnny by the way, when you buy the tram ticket at the airport, the 10 Euro fare is actually a tourist scam. If you want to pay the base 2 euro for the card, you take the tram 1 stop to Grand Arenas, which is free. From there you can buy the card at the ticket machine for 2 euro. Try that next time you're in Nice!

    I'm high strung, which probably explains why I travel alone. You probably wouldn't notice this in the airport, though. Even when I give public readings or lectures, no matter how neurotic I am inside, all my preparation allows me to function smoothly nonetheless. My mother, on the other, would let the world know she's losing it. But, yeah, even if she says nothing, she, as my father says, leaks her anxieties.

    You have gotten used to cheap restaurant food apparently. 15 dollars for French Onion Soup would not be unusual in the US these days at a nice restaurant.. That's what "starters" cost now in St. Louis where I am, and it's considered a cheap city. Even a sandwich might cost that much.

    • @siqck
      @siqck Місяць тому

      Sellers price items at a value far above their cost, and often the most they deem possible to get for it. Yet the buyers very often pay more than the item’s worth not only in value but also cost. The act of purchasing, stripped to its core, is a transaction where the buyer’s loss is implicit. In tourism, this disparity is heightened, as experiences are sold at a premium beyond their actual value. So, I kindly disagree, as you just get what they charge you, especially in tourist traps, and simply hope each time it's what you pay for.

Not that I think she was hiding something, more just the anxiety of needing to do things swiftly/quickly and not hold up the line.
