Switzerland Is Expensive - First Day In Basel

Don’t let people touch your food and then you eat it …. How do you know his hands were clean……

[@ACEDTVL]

what do you think the Chef is doing in the back, have you been enjoying the video so far or do you need more negative things to comment about? Do you like the video? do you have any positive thing to say or that's not your nature. God Bless

Haha what the hell? Its the first rule to have clean hands and they are for sure clean, especially in Switzerland. You know that for example Sushi is also completley made by hand and the chef is touching it quiet a lot before you eat it?

[@freshlizzard9603]

😅 dude

[@CROFTAHK]

one of ace's biggest attributes has to be his humble innocence ! Ace is so curious and puts himself out there to try new things at the same time connecting with the people along the way ! not only the places that he takes us to to see in your videos is interesting but the thing that might be more intriguing about his videos might just be just simply watching him experience new thing in his own way ! The way Ace seems to speak his honest feeling as he interacts is refeshing because we get to see how he experiences these places in his own special way ! Americans can be so funny . For a lot of people might be familiar with the places and cultures his visits but seeing ace experience in his own way is the thing that makes his videos interesting.

[@fabmanthereal]

as a basel citizen. im happy you enjoyed our city. (and the club in the high building where i work 😂) allso im sorry the old man touched your food!! (and told you like “you have to say to the camera you happy to meet me blabla”) normally swiss people are not that rude! he was just strange 😂. wish you all the best and safety for your travels! 🙏🏼. keep on doin ya thang!

Sometimes they use different ingredients so the food is a lot better my first day in Jamaica I was told by the locals that I needed to try the chicken in KFC because it was different and I literally went there and live streamed it on this channel and the KFC was packed with people for the record I did more than just eat fast food in this video

Hi Ace This is one of your followers, Pam in Chicago. It looked like you liked eating the hot roasted chestnuts. It seemed like you weren’t familiar with them. Just remember the beautiful Christmas song, “Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire”. Roasted Chestnuts are a popular holiday famous treat in America and many other parts of the world. Happy Holidays! I would love to visit Switzerland.

[@reesepatron2320]

I'm sooo glad you went to Switzerland. I've been debating on going for Christmas.

[@Robotnik]

Basel is sweet. The border is that tight, that there is an sports centrum at the border mid France, that is in France but is owned and run by Stadt Basel (Pfaffenholz). The local Culture on all three is an alemmanic Deutsch one mid the swabish culture (Lorrach), Alsatian (French Side) and Baselian (Swiss). The French Side has seen its local Culture heavily watered due to the flooding of many Outsiders there and the Flattening by the French State until fairly recently, of the local native Tongue, and thus, Culture. All in all though, clean and sheen Bit of the World and glad you like it!

I went to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland. Great experience, beautiful and inspiring location. I stayed in the Swiss Alps, Caux, Vaud, Switzerland, overlooking Lake Geneva. The train ride to get up there was cool too. Geneva was clean too! I recommend you check it out.

[@mortenrollsen271]

I just realize that for visitors Montreux or Geneva might seem like they're culturally like Basel because they're all in Switzerland but this is far from the truth. I don't think there's a country on earth that has this many cultural differences on this small of a piece of earth. Yet it works and we like each other with all our differences and are proud of our little country.

The Christmas markets are amazing. Good to see you experiencing so much of the world. They have a spiced German mulled wine that is served hot, I recommend you try it if you haven't already. It's called Gluehwein and it really hits the spot on a cold night.

I was hoping you would eat the raclette first, when it's still warm.... the fondue can stay hot for a long time on that stove.... we had fondue yesterday, it's our familys favorite meal

[@jensleuner527]

Just a sidenote: not only are groceries typically (and often by a lot) cheaper in Germany than in Switzerland, but also you can get the VAT which you paid back the next time you go to the same store (or same chain). (For that you need a form the shop will hand you out if you ask for it, fill it out with your Swiss adress and then get a stamp on it from the German customs when you cross the border back to Switzerland. Works for (almost) everything you purchase just as long as yout spend a mimimum of 50€ per purchase.)

In Deutschspeaking Switzerland, more folks speak English than before but due to being highly regionalised and thus, outside the bury aka cities, many speak their own tongues and that's it. They always seek to try as much as they can though. McDs in Switzerland is the best from any McDs I have eaten elsewhere. As ye said, ever so fresh and has an big local Menu. Local money is Swiss Franks (CHF). Basel is ever so small as an Stadt, it has an Hinterland that has its own Administration (Basel-Landschaft). At 16:15, ye were at Barfüsserplatz (Oldtown/Downtown basically), and the Church is Basels Museum. All around there and further towards the Rhein, are shops, eateries, some clubs, and bars. It's good. Loving this Video loads 💪💪💪
