Hello Mister Simon just a question man did you take the Jab ?

[@Upsurging93]

Hi Simon, hope you get to see this. Been watching your vids since near the beggining, love your videos. As a theme going foward I'd love to see you go by a theme of "Simon tries" and really challenge yourself to indulge in the culture of different countries including activities and food. Would make great viewing. I used to be a vegetarian at age of 18 and found myself eating a chicken head in the phillipeenes not so long back. Either way though best of look with your chanel 😁🤙

[@josephjacklin7861]

Bro. Pls. More stuff like this just spontaneous travel no real plan just quirky concepts and going random places I love it

[@beardedlonewolf7695]

+1 it's amazing!

[@tonygrinney7115]

Agree great idea! Maybe stay a few days and then on to the next place. In fact that could be a challenge. You have to get to 7 different cities in 14 days staying two days at each place (not including your travel day). RULES: 1.Every second day you have to move to a different place. The place will be determined by your Uber driver depending on what country or city he is from. 2. The city has to be a minimum of 200 miles away. If the distance is too short to go by flight then you have to go by plane. 3. If you find out that you cannot fly because of COVID restrictions you have to chose another Uber driver and start again. Also if you require visas to travel to the country and you cannot get them immediately you will need to choose a different destination. 4. You can use subscribers for places to stay. Good Luck.

Moreover the taxi driver's personal car was a nice SAAB 9-3, way better than the Dacia cab, and I really didn't understand that whining. But you are right, the Romanian tax authorities will get a big thick from this transaction.

Bro tell me about it... I'm Italian and I visited some friends of mine in the Netherlands and Belgium last Christmas. Long story short I had to take 1 PCR test, PLFs and other stupid documents for Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands (even if I both had covid and vaccine). To come back to Italy I paid €45 for a RAPID TEST, as that shit was mandatory, otherwise either I could'nt board or I'd have been obliged to do a selfquarantine of 5 days back home. Also, nobody was supposed to put the jacket on the plane thingy on top which idk the name lol and I had to put ot on my legs for the whole flight. What a period to be alive haha, thanfully this stuff is fading away and hopefully everything will re-stabilize slowly.

Mad how you just fly to where your driver is from. So random and mega spontaneous. But very cool. I'd probably be worried if I hadn't had any accommodation booked. I expected these flights on such short notice to be more expensive. Regarding the car change in Romania, I could imagine if he goes with his taxi he may have to pay tax on anything he makes on it. If he drives you round in his private car he may get around it, noone can really proof it... I hope you will do some more of these challenges, maybe next hop on a night sleeper train and go somewhere, that would be interesting to see how you find that (I've done it and it was an adventure and an experience) G'nite SJW!

No offence but it is such a shame to hear that so many foreign tourists have no clue about this city, the second-largest city of Romania (coming after Bucharest), the only city - apart of Bucharest - that was the capital of Romania for a short period, the Romanian city of culture and art where most of the cultural celebrities of Romania were born or activated - in one word; jewellery!
