Since you're counting countries, Gabe, what are the rules? For example:
1) I went to parts of the USSR in the 80s that are now five different countries. How does that count?
2) Can I count a country where I changed planes but did not leave the airport?
3) Do England, Scotland and Wales count as separate countries?
4) Is the UAE one country or many (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, etc)?
5) Do colonies (like Gibraltar) count as countries, or as part of their colonizer country (e.g. UK)?
I'm sticking to Mexico for a while more
“Sunny days can get boring”
Speak for yourself bro 🤨🤨
Cool Gabe, I have been there aswell. Checkout castle vianden
Awesome
Listening to that song on the train made me so nostalgic….missing EU so much
Very cool!
Scammers in every train station as usual.
The entire society has been programmed to manouvre you into a certain role, and if you accept that role, whether you want it or not, you are being lured into their trap of confusion, and you're somewhat living their dream instead of your own, wasted. It's the same folks with their tendencies to confuse, mislead and to corrupt you, to keep you down and like a threat neutralised securing their positions in power pulling the strings of the system. And all of their paranoid, fear neurotic affects such as:"you don't have to worry, it's only a joke, if you only knew, see, there you have it, that's the reason, we have an agreement, and so on and so on maintain and justify their criminal behavior. It's the same who always try to keep you down and who never compliment you or try to bring out the best in you. Those"punishers" only want to take you down to their level of existence and subsequently totally waste you with their shit. Intended or not that doesn't really matter, but mostly they are like this to just feel like a God. But uhm… Unfortunately our way of life, our system and what not is completely based upon the criminal mindset of confusion, misleading and corrupting oneanother so they don't need to fear that their positions of power are being taken by benevolent folks like yourself, Gabriel, and to prevent this world from flourishing, because then the ones in control lose not just a source of income but their entire controlesystem. It's just a matter of time before people figure out they have been lied to all their lives to just prevent them for realizing they are very special and in fact more or less a God in this universe, with an own free will.
Therfore the system systematically undermines the the true nature and balance of succes wich is love, affection and recognition. They actively disturb this mechanisme to eventually bring their own new world order solution to our problems so to say, right… And then… Then you won. It. Whatever, "it" Is…
Have fun in Europe Gabe! Looking forward to this series. Stay safe out there!
Love the singer
Hi Gabe, all the destinations you read in the train station are Belgium cities, greetings from Genk 👌. Unfortunately you picked the day with the worst weather of the past week…
Gabriel, do you like to travel alone?
I came back from your Paris video to see that Sirian guy. Regardless of the fact that i agree he was Romanian or something like that, he was selling the newspaper and had a kind of pass around his neck. In my country we have public institution that gives homeless people opportunity to sell the journal that they create and they also have passes to prove their status. So i think he was legally homeless and as that recognized from state of Belgium. So you did the good did. 🙂
Thanks for the nice video. I have had the chance to live in Brussels for eight years. The places you are showing are all very familiar, as well as, the restauran where you ate stump.
Smooth footage, good explanation of place’s and restaurant’s, food’s name. That kebab must be tasty !
Public transport is still free, though, right?
How about doing Paraguay?
🤙🏽
I'd bet Shiva would say your doing fine… greetings from Oklahoma City
You definitely have to come back and visit Dinant (Next to Namur which is also a great city to visit !) ! Dinant is a small town but one of my favourites of Belgium. You can have great walks, a great church, a citadel that overhangs the whole city, visit the caves, a small cruise on the river. Really, I went there 3 times in 4 years, it's clearly worth a visit !
If I could think at other places you may like to visit : Gent (fr: Gand), Brugge (nl: Bruges), Mons (nl : Bergen), Tournai (nl: Doornik), Leuven (fr : Louvain), La Roche-en-Ardenne (very small but incredibly charming).
