He was having some trouble in his workplace at the time, but has since left and is doing a lot better now. 😊 Also do keep in mind that a lot of people on KZbin are far from professional, not actors, & have personal lives. That and a lot of people in the travel genre tend to be overly positive and avoid any form of criticism about a place because people get upset about everything (kinda like this… I didn’t even think he was being negative in that four minutes after a review.. he didn’t like a cheap grocery store croissant? Unbelievable! What a negative person!😱 hahaha)

@@IfWeGoTo - I really didn’t expect you to respond, but I appreciate the thoughtful response. Being preoccupied with work stress would certainly impact your mood. The comment about the church fee, the two digs about the coffee, followed by the pastry comment was enough for me. More importantly though is doing the content you’re happy with and don’t worry about the negative comments. Mine may have been unfair. Safe travels and happy adventures.

@@shanef6957 for sure, it can be hard to be on camera when you're traveling and really only have one chance to do it - and you want to, but other stuff is on your mind! & I agree with you, sometimes he is a little too honest for youtube, but I don't really think he was trying to be negative... more just giving an opinion - the price was too much, the coffee he didn't love, the food wasn't the best. I do think it was in this same video we had some of the best food we'd ever encountered and he praised it highly. I think not being outwardly positive about everything can come off as negative when many travel video makers avoid saying anything negative at all in fear of response.. we've even started to haha. But we understand where you're coming from too. And likewise, appreciate you writing back, makes us all feel better. :) Hope things continue well for you also!

Churches in Europe are not like Churches in America. They invested alot of money in the church’s tour such as audio tour, restoration, and others. I used to think church tickets were expensive too. However, once I went in for one of them, I couldn’t resist to go in to others. You should give them a try next time.

I can understand that sometimes for a tourist it is expensive to pay 20€ for an entrance. But knowledge is free, and the way you speak about the cathedrals, the train station or the boy sculpture and the fact that you eat kfc and falafel is the reason why europeans think poorly about americans. You visit such a cultural and historically important places, it's a pity ro miss the essence of them.
@IfWeGoTo
@IfWeGoTo 7 ай бұрын
Hi there! It is a pity to miss some of the sights, but we've been traveling long term for over 5 years now. Unfortunately, that means we have to watch our budget. 24€ for an entrance fee (actually 48€ because there are two of us) is ok if you're on a short term trip or every once in a while, but if you do that for every sight in every city, you'd quickly burn through all of your budget. We'd rather get to go and see some of a city and skip a few things than not get to go at all. Same goes for food. We have had some nicer meals abroad, but because we stay long term we often opt to cook for ourselves or for cheaper meals. I don't see why visitors should be looked down upon for eating a little more locally? (Also where did you see KFC? lol) I don't think we said anything negative about stuff in the city other than the church being way over priced? (Most are free or have a reasonable a fee for upkeep/maintenance/restoration - it's a church! It shouldn't be for profit!). And your comments about the train station and the boy statue... what was wrong with what we said there again? I'm genuinely confused.

I had no idea! I guess after spending so much time in Europe we were a bit churched out and were a bit put off by the expensive price to enter a place of worship (when most are free or a small fee to help with upkeep/restoration) - not realizing there was a museum inside. Still not sure how extensive it is or if it’s worth 40 euro or not. Many of the dedicated museums in Europe are much less than 20 euro each. I agree with the comments though, we went about this in the wrong way. We saw it more as lighthearted sarcasm not realizing people would take it so seriously and prefer travel vlogs that are only ever overtly positive - even if it’s dishonest to an extent. (We’ve even switched to doing more of this because of the pushback) Anyways, hope you can forgive our blunder in this case and find someone better suited to your tastes. We have varied opinions, make jokes, get grumpy, and make mistakes… there are people who literally will never criticize anything out there too though!

If you have any suggestions for next time we’d love to hear it! We only had a couple of days there and went to the top spots mentioned online. And yeah, he’s working on it. He has sleep problems and works a lot. Have to give him props for showing up and trying - but leaving mean comments doesn’t really help, now does it?

Underrated is a good thing though? Meaning it is better than expected. Are you maybe thinking overrated?

@@IfWeGoTo No. The joke is that the cliché says people from Antwerp has a really high esteem of themself and their city, so if someone else says "no it's even better", they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Americans visit Europe and don’t understand it. Visit a high street. ‘It’s like their outdoor mall’… 🙄

@@IfWeGoTo I did not mean to offend you. However I have found many American travel videos (which I otherwise enjoyed watching) often fall for this trap which I find a tad rude - the idea that city centres are just 'outdoor malls' - they are places rooted in culture and history, not just commercialism.

sorry it just seemed like you were annoyed about what we’d said so I asked why. We get that Europe has a lot more history to it and cultures that have been around a heck of a lot longer, but a high street is a business and retail center isn’t it? And it’s funny you said that considering we even mentioned that there are historic and modern stores. (And the whole thing we said about the Grote Market/Wall Street comparison) Comparing it to a place that you can shop… that has many of the same stores as a shopping mall (and American shopping malls at that) didn’t seem far off. And it’s not an insult or anything either. I think it’s normal to have a centralized place where people gather and shop.

Guys, imagine traveling to that beautiful city. Declaring the beautiful view when you walk outside mentioning the beautiful World Famous Cathedral, talking about the amazing works of art inside and how beautiful it is. It's a World famous spot. And then you arrive in front of it, jab at Catholics for charging and then declaring that you refuse to pay $24 euros or whatever it was. Imagine being a grown Man and being this weak. If I arrived alone or with 10 people. They'd say "it's 25 euro to go in..." My response? "There's 6 of us here's $150Euro..." Done....easy... Be a MAN... elevate and make more money if you can't afford to go into museums/cultural sites when traveling... And if you can, you are a Weak Man indeed.... 👀

We travel full-time. If we were on a once in a lifetime trip, of course we’d spend the money to visit. But when you travel non-stop you have to make budgetary choices. I don’t really think this has anything to do with strength… hahaha. Your comment is a bit odd… you’re welcome to pay for your own trip, take the time to film/edit it, and upload it on your own YT channel. We’ll be the first to watch it. 🤗
