Hi @retselrene! Thanks for pointing that out. 🔍 You're correct that the population of Osaka city is around 3 million. The figure of 20 million refers to the larger metropolitan area. Sometimes it indeed feels like 20 million when you're trying to find a seat in a busy ramen shop! Thanks for your keen eye and for watching! 💛
We spent five days in Lyon in March. We decided to check it out simply it was on the way to Chambéry, our destination. It was fantastic. Also, if you're moderately fit, it's very walkable. The Old City is great, but take some time to explore the Croix Rousse area. We absolutely loved the city.
Hi @ralphlw! Thanks for sharing your experience and for watching our video! 💛 Lyon is indeed a fantastic city, and it's great to hear you enjoyed your time there. The Old City is wonderful, and Croix Rousse has so much charm and character. It's also great to know that you found it walkable. Thanks for the recommendation, and we're glad you loved Lyon as much as we do!
Those are tourists traps icecream. Traditional Italian icecream is not displayed in these fancy shapes(made by a machine). The real gelato is scopped from little tanks
Hi @antoniovirgillito4126! Thank you for watching! 💛 You’re right, traditional Italian gelato is often scooped from covered metal containers, which helps maintain its authentic texture and flavor.
Hi @kennymackie4518! Thank you for watching! 💛 That sounds like an amazing trip! You will definitely enjoy Milan and October is a great time to visit weather wise (usually at least!). In Lake Como, consider a boat tour to explore the beautiful villages like Bellagio and Varenna. A video about Como Lake is already in the pipeline! Lugano is lovely as well. Enjoy your travels!
Hi @JayGermano! Thank you for watching! 💛. In Apulia, focaccia pugliese can includes mashed potatoes in the dough to keep it moist and give it a unique texture. You know that every grandma has her own recipe all over Puglia, yet the one with potatoes in the dough is not that uncommon!
Thank you for watching! 💛 Sadly, no. There was a direct connection between Paris and Milan, but a landslide wrecked the rails last summer and it won't be reinstated until later this year. The fastest route by rail now takes around 11 hours: from Paris to Zurich, then Zurich to Milan, and finally Milan to Florence. Although we are fans of train trips, at this point it's probably better to fly from Paris to Milan and then take a Frecciarossa/Italo to Florence, which takes about 90 minutes. Let us know if you have any other questions!
@wanderfulstops8488 It is faster to take the Nice-Milan-Florence route, but the difference is only about 60 minutes. The Nice-Pisa-Florence route is definitely more scenic, as it goes through the Italian Riviera, which is awesome. One piece of advice: there are fewer trains from Nice to Florence via the Riviera, and only "Intercity" trains: If you are planning to travel during summer, book in advance because they sell out fast, especially on weekends!
🤔 Rio de Janeiro summary: Christ the Redeemer "Greek's gift to the French. Sugar Loaf Museum of Tomorrow and Maracanã. And beautiful beaches, however polluted and full of rats. What to do? 🤦😢
Hi @CharlesJoseph-ee5el! Thank you for watching! 💛. Rio de Janeiro does face some challenges, but it's also a city full of vibrant culture and stunning sights. Yes, some areas have pollution issues. However, there are many beautiful and clean spots to enjoy. We hope you get to experience the best of what Rio has to offer!
The scene in your video 2.37 to 2.40 is Singapore Gardens by the Bay taken from the Marina Bay Sands. Are you sure you know what you are talking about!?!?
Hi @jonathan90609911! You're right, that scene is from Singapore's Gardens by the Bay. It was a very short clip used to match the luxury destination concept. Thank you for pointing it out, and we appreciate your keen eye. Thanks for watching and for your feedback! 💛
Hello, I will follow this itinerary as we only have 2.5days in Milan. Will you prefer morning visit at the Last Supper or later in the afternoon? I will be buying ticket soon (for October) just waiting when it’s open to buy.
Hello @carmfe2688! Thank you for watching! 💛 The experience is similar whether you visit in the morning or the afternoon, as only 20-25 people are allowed inside at a time, and the schedule is strictly followed. You'll have around 30 minutes, which is enough time to see the Last Supper. There are only two artworks in the room: The Last Supper on one side and The Crucifixion on the other side. Remember to get the tickets way in advance; you will be ok if you purchase them now for October! Enjoy your visit, and let us know if you have any other questions for your upcoming trip!
Even though the video is almost two years old, it is still pretty factual. Now, you can pay for all the metros/buses with credit cards, so there is no need to buy tickets. Uber still works, and while on the expensive side, it is way more reliable than local taxis. Some new cool rooftops opened (Horto, Mirador), and some excellent new pizzerias opened (Denis, Confine) as well. Buy tickets in advance for Da Vinci's Last Supper. Enjoy the Duomo's roofs. It will probably be hot in the summer, but you will have a great time in Milan!
Hi @maryjosephineledesma6229! Thank you for watching! 💛 Navigating a wheelchair through the cobblestones in Edinburgh can be challenging, but it's possible with some preparation. All the Royal Mile is wheelchair accessible and Edinburgh is generally an inclusive city. Specifically for Edinburgh Castle, there are accessible routes and facilities for visitors with disabilities, though some areas might still be difficult due to the historic nature of the site. Among the places shown, Dean Village is probably the hardest to navigate with a wheelchair. If you are going to visit Scotland's capital, you will indeed have a great time. The vibe there is amazing! 🏰 Happy to help further if needed!
Hi @TheCybermodel! Thank you for watching! 💛 There are many boats and companies offering river cruises in Bangkok. Our suggestion is to take the Orange Flag line. It costs only 32 baht (return) and goes all the way up to the Chao Phraya River. This route allows you to explore a different side of Bangkok, including local markets and stores in the outskirts and admire the city from the river, including the stunning Wat Arun Temple. The trip takes about 60 minutes from the Oriental pier to the end. Enjoy your journey!
@@maliktariqsultanyoutubecha6908 Whether you need a visa for a stopover in Turkey depends on your nationality and the length of your stay. Many nationalities do require a transit visa, while others may benefit from visa exemptions or e-visas. Try to check with the official Turkish government website or the airline's website! Safe travels and enjoy your visit to Turkey!
People going there for selfies and halal KFC.. Not sure how spiritual that is, especially when millions of Muslims are living and dying in poverty, but the ego needs feeding first I guess..
I've had the my school and I almost froze up it tasted so bad bro why did they serve it that day as soon as I went into my mouth I felt like I was going to throw up and so was the rest of the class
@@towntraveltips No; we were only in Lyon for 1 day ~ definitely not enough time to explore this beautiful city! We did have an excellent meal at Tetedoie, but no quenelles. Hopefully next time!
Hello @aryamohandas745 and thank you for watching! 💛 Navigating Beijing on a budget is definitely doable, and using the city's extensive subway system is a great way to save money while exploring. Here's a quick guide, maybe not super comprehensive, on how to reach some of the top places mentioned in the video through public transports: 1. Great Wall of China (Mutianyu Section): Unfortunately, the subway doesn't go directly to the Great Wall. However, you can take the Beijing Subway Line 2 or Line 13 to Dongzhimen, then transfer to the 916 Express or 916 bus to Huairou North Avenue (Huairou Beidajie), and finally, take a local taxi or mini-bus to Mutianyu. 2. Forbidden City (and Tiananmen Square): Take Line 1 to Tiananmen East or Tiananmen West Station. Both the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square are a short walk from these stations. 3. Temple of Heaven: Take Line 5 to Tiantan Dongmen Station, which will drop you right at the East Gate of the Temple of Heaven complex. 4. Summer Palace: Take Line 4 to Beigongmen Station, which is directly north of the Summer Palace. For other locations: - 798 Art District: Take Line 14 to Wangjing South Station, and then a short taxi or bus ride will get you there. - Hutongs: For a glimpse into the traditional alleyways, head to the area near the Bell and Drum Towers using Line 8 to Shichahai Station. Using the subway in Beijing is cost-effective, and most signs and announcements are in both Chinese and English, making it easier for international travelers to navigate. The subway system connects most parts of the city, and it's the best option for getting around quickly and cheaply. PRO TIP: don’t forget to purchase a reloadable Yikatong Subway Card for convenience (you can buy and top this up at any station), and always have a subway map app on your phone to plan your journeys effectively. Enjoy your adventure in Beijing, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need further travel tips! Safe travels! 🚇✨
Ok they sound great but I have a problem, although my tastebuds in my mouth would love them my stomach and esophageal airway would not! I have acid reflux disease and ulcers of which I have to take stomach medicine my whole life ! Question do they make those with a tasty mild sauce because they sound good ? Would switching it with Taco Bell mild sauce be ok ?
@anthonycaruso8014 Thank you for watching! Yes, generally speaking bombas can be enjoyed with a variety of sauces to suit different taste preferences and dietary needs. Although traditionally served with spicy sauce, many places offer a milder version of the sauce or even a completely mild (e.g. not garlicky), yet flavorful, alternative. It all comes down to your preferences and needs!
@imarto90 Thank you for watching! 💛 The origins of many dishes can be quite complex due to historical influences and cultural exchanges. While pierogi are indeed very popular in Russia and have versions in other Slavic and Eastern European cultures, they are considered a national dish in Poland and have a special place in Polish cuisine with a wide variety of fillings and styles. Do you have a favorite version of pierogi?
thank you for watching @karesage2889 and for pointing that out! 💛 Indeed, at the time of filming, Notre Dame Cathedral was undergoing extensive repairs and was not accessible to the public, which is why it wasn't included in our suggested itinerary. However, we absolutely agree that the Île de la Cité, the island where Notre Dame is located, is a must-visit for its beauty and historical significance.
@karesage2889 Awesome! You can expect great weather, long enough days for plenty of outdoor explorations, and the fashion capital at its most vibrant with Fashion Week happening in the last week! Expect the city to be extra stylish and bustling. Moreover, the makeup for the Olympics will be all done, leaving the city even more beautiful than before!
@towntraveltips thank you, I think we just miss fashion week as we arrive 24th Sept. I would have loved to have timed our visit for the opening of Notre Dame cathedral in December but sadly not to be. I will still admire the beautiful structure from outside as I believe the scaffolding (if not all, most of it) will have been removed when we are there. I have planned a fabulous 5 week European holiday around this type of content and I can't tell you how helpful yours and others have been. Paris was difficult compared to other cities and areas we are visiting because there is so much to see but I feel I have planned a good couple of days without stressing about what we cannot see. Thanks again
@@karesage2889 It sounds like you have an amazing European holiday planned, and we're thrilled to have been able to help with your preparation! Even from the outside, visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral is still bound to be a great experience. The effort to preserve and restore such a historic landmark is a sight to see in itself. Safe travels and enjoy Europe, which will be at its best by the end of September! ☀
In the version of Focaccia Barese featured in this video, we showcased also a variant that includes cheese, which is not traditional but has become popular. Typically, the kind of cheese used in such adaptations is fresh mozzarella or sometimes scamorza for its ability to melt beautifully and complement the focaccia's flavors without overpowering them. Thank you for watching! 💛
1:47 is Makati. And I hope these bloggers would at least exert a little effort learning the proper pronunciation of places. It takes less than 10secs to search on Google.
@Tasya_letoile That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled our video could add to your excitement about visiting Shanghai.
