[@joermnyc]

I believe in the lower 48 US states both the highest and lowest points aren’t that far apart (Mount Whitney and Death Valley). Both are in California and are about 85 miles (136.2km) from each other. It is possible to hike to the top (14,505ft/4,421m), though it’s a very long hike. Death Valley is -282 feet (-85m) below sea level... and it has set temperature records approaching insanity (134F/56.7C) though there are some disputes over that figure as it was taken in 1913 with less than precise equipment.

[@ShaunCheah]

I wonder if Death Valley's heat is related to its lowness or if that's just a fun coincidence.

You actually say Grenouille extremely well there! I'm impressed. I've noticed you tend to over-enunciate a bit when speaking french in your videos (which I suspect is both because you're speaking to a camera and to keep things clear because it's for a video mostly watched by non-native speakers) so this almost came as a surprise: you were about 99.8% perfect on Grenouille; so from a native French+English speaker: welcome to the bilingual club!

I was a little bummed that you didn't include Norway in the "Around the world in one city" video, but I got it very much in this video. I even tried to find some "outlandish" places in my city, but it is small, so I (and none of my Facebook friends) could find any. I guess that is the quest you mentioned in the end of that video. (The only thing we have are some Chinese restaurants). I love your videos and wish you a great year with more and more travel (if you ever go to the birth city of Ibsen, I can show you his houses)

I've lived in one of those shoeboxes, 20m2 in the 14e, whilst a stagiaire. Good times!
