  • 🇨🇿 Welcome back to beautiful Prague, capitol of Czechia and now known as the city of Vietnamese alcohol shops and the region of Pankrac, known as the Venice of Central Europe. I have returned to look after a Cuban cat for a few weeks and whilst here was invited to chat to a very nice chap called Thomas about...well all kinds of things. Oh and he took me for a ride in a weird contraption you have possibly not seen before. I hadn't. Enjoy!

I'm a complete introvert but I enjoy studying other people's personalities, that's why I find Ben's videos absolutely fascinating and refreshing. He is so genuine, he's never afraid to express his true feelings and thoughts, and, at the same time, he is so polite and considerate not to hurt other people's feelings. It is so nice to tag along in his journeys and visit places and people which and whom otherwise we would never be able to visit anyway. He is the pal everyone would like to have.

Don't forget that if he puts out more videos or daily videos he would have already been at 5+million subs.

      @WesternDemocrcyIsHoax X That is very simple Australia is a beautiful country that opened its arms to my family in 1968, it gave me an education and a chance to have my own business. Altho I am retired I have young children and Australia is no longer "The Lucky Country" it used to be, so I brought my family back to where I was born because there are more opportunities in Europe. And believe it or not my children love it here, they do not miss Australia (Which I am surprised about)

      introvert doesn't state what you can and cannot do. It just labels you as someone that prefers to be one way.

I wouldn't call the guy out though based on a hunch you have. He said it. We have no reason to doubt him.

    "Pater Noster" is what the Lord's Prayer is called in Latin, and that type of lift is also called a Paternoster in German. I guess whoever named it thought it best to pray before getting on.

      The construction looks like a katholic rosary (also known as paternoster). A working Paternoster is rare.

      So, in effect, you are travelling on 'a wing and a prayer'. There is/was also one at Newcastle University. When I was a lad.

      I have a feeling he's actually Czech (you can hear the staff speaking Czech to him), maybe that's why his English sounds over the top posh whereas Bald sounds more like a regular Englishman

I’ve always had a passion for exploring new places, but you’ve singlehandedly ignited an even bigger flame inside of me to continue learning new languages and experience ALL our world has to offer. Cheers brother..hope to run into you someday on a wild adventure and have a couple beers or a shot of vodka
