Be weary of averages. My statistics professor once told me that averages are very nice and having said that you should be able to stand with one foot in a bucket of ice water and one foot in a bucket of boiling water and on the average you should be very comfortable. This is a once in a life time opportunity and your $100 day spend rate is a goal. However, do not let the goal destroy the adventure.

Wise words. The "average family", the "average income". There's no such thing. If the trip ends up being $150 so what, it's exactly as you said, a once in a life time opportunity.

Špilberk Castle was built in the 13th century and was at one time the most notorious prison in Europe. That might explain where some of your "amenities" came from.

I'm from Frankfurt and that you stayed in a Hostel in the Bahnhofsviertel was a Adventure too. Its like the Tenderloin District in San Francisco. Sorry that you didn't go to Places like Apfelwein Wagner in Frankfurt/Sachsenhausen and eat only Pizza and Sausage. Frankfurt is famous for its Green Sauce with Schnitzel and Apfelwein in old Restaurants. Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen is such a nice old and charming District. Frankfurt could be very harsh, dirty and unpleasent in the Bahnhofsviertel.

Hi 👋, Amazing video, thank you for sharing your amazing experience, There is definitely a lot of dark side to Europe, a lot that is NOT made public, unless you start to dig, on the internet 🛜, even to this day, still not good to dig , I used to live in the UK, which you were thought we’ve been good, very questionable, I now live in part of Europe, France, and things that I’ve heard and seen over the last 13 years is very spooky, But is still an amazing place to go and visit with beautiful scenery. Amazing food, some of the people can be a bit abrupt, Sometimes I don’t sleep very well, so I go for a walk at night time even at night. It seems strange, but I find it very very soothing , calming, Great to see that you are keeping yourself safe, locked up in a bunker all night, it is a good job that you are doing a lot of walking, especially as some of that water you are drinking ha ha , 😂 it’s very fattening, we all look forward to your next upload of your next destination. Stay safe, don’t let the bogeyman get you, 😂😂😂 , no spiders, Phil from the moulin

"the people can be a bit abrupt"? Actually I've heard that (only twice in my life) about inner city Paris but when you get outside the city people are as friendly as anywhere. That dark side might come from two world wars (actually one long and stupid war) and old memories die hard. I'm just guessing as to what you're referring to. My parents were liberated in 45 and my mom never got over that. I once introduced her to my girlfriend whose parents escaped from Germany because they saw what was coming. First words out of her mouth "Normally I don't like Germans but you seem okay". Gee thanks mom!

One bunker I never need to see. The Russian Naval complex Balaklava is unused and open to the public in Crimea. It's built into the side of a mountain, covers over 3 sq. miles with 56,000 sq ft. of water for up to seven submarines. It's more than damp, smells bad and probably has a food court with week old Borscht. One reason so many people take cover in the subways of Kiev is that they're built to withstand a small nuclear blast. Neither one is at the top of my bucket list.

Oh my God! Not you too! Rotary phones... Please let Jimmy teach you. Not trying to be mean but there's likely nothing more that shocks Gen X'ers more in the aspect of lack of educational achievement about Millennials/Zoomers than the idea that you do not know how to operate a rotary phone. The rotary phone was not that far removed from your generation that you should of at least seen them and learned how to use them, and it really shocks us to our cores that you do not know how to use them. There are literal youtube videos of 18 year olds who have a dad who are willing to buy them a car if they could figure out how to dial the rotary phone and call the dad's cell phone and gave them 10 mins to do it and they couldn't figure it out. It's ridiculous honestly and something EVERY Generation through zoomers should know. Maybe Gen Alpha gets a pass, but Millenials and zoomers do not. As a South Carolinian, I know the school system is not that bad and should of taught you this.
