To be fair, you were staying in the most touristy area of Sydney next to the CBD where everything is more expensive. If you went out of the CBD, prices are high but not insane.
Looking to do a solo trip soon, how many days do you recommend for a first trip solo to Paris? I’d be going during a trip to the UK, so I need to decide how many nights!
Best thing to do is not go! They need to work on the tourism game! Can’t enjoy anything with vendors literally harassing you every 5 feet you walk. Harassing to the actual point of threatening you! I don’t understand, every Colombian I’ve had the pleasure of knowing has Been nothing bit extremely friendly here in the USA. Honestly horrible trash people over in the tourist areas of Cartagena, fake friendly and will try to screw you out of all your money. I know my recent experience was not the true people of Colombia and I wish the country would put restrictions allowing this BS to go on over there. This is Bad for Tourism and a bad representation of Colombia in general. This is a one and done destination.
Another great thing to do at the Harbour Bridge is the guided climb where you get to walk along the top of the bridge (you’re tied to the bridge and it’s mostly quite a wide walkway so even if you’re afraid of heights like me, it was great). I’ve done it twice and would do again. There’s a website for the bridge where you can get more info and setup a reservation for the climb.
Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
naples is where i grew up and some of the places away from the main tourist attractions is way different i used to live there but went to university in the usa and moved to Messina
I think you did it the hard way, my friend. After visiting Venice over a dozen times, I can share some tips. The Venezia Unica card is overpriced considering how walkable the city is. It comes with free entry to some attractions. Eating in Florean is by far reserved for rich tourists. The gondola ride, in my opinion, is best taken in autumn or spring at sunset. We paid 80 euro for an hour and the lighting was magic. Maybe next time you can enter San Marco. Hint : go to the museum as well, much more intriguing than the palla d'oro.
I tried to watch your vlog but your fallling into the same rhetoric a lot of you travel channels do , your comparing Aussie prices to American without taking into account a lot of varying factors first of all there's the exchange rate which at the moment $1 us is worth 67c Australian, your shopping in tourist areas where you always pay a premium , the overheads are different because our workers are paidat least $ 21-30 hr and aren't exploited like they are in the US a lot of the items you are comparing were organic ,always sold at a premium ,we don't normally import our fresh fruit and vegetables and a lot are seasonal, and are grown by farmers who have to pay the workers proper wages and also expect to make a living , we don't have a vast pool of illegal immigrants who we can pay peanuts and can't complain . You mentioned that Sydney was very clean , it is , generally speaking all our cities towns and villages are not only because we take pride innot littering but also because our city councils have workers whose job is clean the streets , parks , beaches and open spaces ,the cost is passed on to the taxpayer who pass it on tothe general public . The last time I was in LA before I'd enen left the airport there was a shooting in the street a car chase passed the tour bus on the way into the city and the streets were lined with homless people and all their detritus, Where's your police and street cleaners , my hotel in downtown LA was the same price as the one your staying in and it was clean and efficient with super freindly staff but it wasn't a patch on the luxury your enjoying . I wouldn't have been able to shop for groceries close to the hotel because the owners of the minimart on the same block as the hotel had boarded it up , the owners had left for Florida as a result of 3 holdups and systematic shop lifting with no police protection , the streets smelled of urine and i was constantly accosted by panhandlers who got abusive and aggressive at my refusal to give them money I didn't see LA by night as we were discouraged from walking the streets after dark something I have done in all the countries ive visited without fear and especially in Australian cities . Sorry for the rant , but I don't like to see my country misrepresented and i wouldn't like to think that a potential visitor be put of coming because of something that should be viewed in context . Every one should come visit they'll find a clean safe place populated by a warm freindly multicultural people who are all proud to be Australians and who like to show off this amazing country, don't get me wrong we have our faults like every other country but no one is queueing up to leave

Been suckered to the tourist places. Things are cheaper out West. Locals don’t go to the Harbourside or Rocks anymore because it is too expensive and overcrowded.
@@feieverywhere Sydney is basically a bunch of cities joined together. You only saw the CBD where the tourists go, but Sydney has the northern beaches (beachy suburban vibes), lower north shore (chic and leafy) , inner west (hip/cool), eastern suburbs, west (suburban and diverse).
I want to drive to Monaco but am concerned about parking. It would make this video much more useful if the parking locations could be shared for searching on mapping services.
Wow so only walk or water taxi? This water taxi already sounds expensive. How do locals do it? Do they have high paying jobs? 😅 Wow that gondola(sp.) looked really cool! The colors and design 🤩 It must have been a really scenic and serene ride. So it seems the entire city is on/by water? I didnt know . I thought it was just like one main prt of the city 😅 So what makes st. Marks basilica so popular?
