      People have a choice, you can allow the hate to control you, or you can choose to ignore it a thrive to be happy... There is far more happy out there than hate. Leave the echo chambers that promote and bombard you with hate. The one thing i figured out a couple years ago is when it come to politics, and lets face it that's where the hate thrives, there is only one day a year to let it into my life, and that's election day for about an hour when im voting. After that there isn't anything i can or want do about it.

    To Denz: I was about your age when my family visited New York (I’m from Georgia). The younger of my two older sisters and I went up the stairs to the top of the Statue of Liberty. It was even more bare and open then (1986).
    I was TERRIFIED and had to hold back from crying but the spiral staircase, once you’re on it, no way to go back down. So….knowing I HAD to commit and was stuck til the end was awful for me. I totally get it, lil bro.
    I’m so proud of you that you did! SO proud!
    You and I both got to be in the crown of Lady Liberty, despite our fears!

    6:30. Cold Brew & Iced Coffee are actually 2 different things. Iced Coffee is when you add ice to hot coffee. "Cold Brew" is actually made by putting coffee grinds in Cold Water and let it brew/steep for 12-24 hours.

    • @Gilthwixt1

      And Cold brew is generally concentrated, so unless it's watered down you can actually put all that ice in there and as it melts it dilutes to "regular" strength.

    So fun fact, cold brew and iced coffee are actually two different beverages. Iced coffee is often just standard brewed coffee poured over ice. Cold Brew is typically made by lining a pan with a towel, then coffee grounds, then pouring water into the pan and letting it steep in the fridge overnight. It completely changes the taste of the coffee when it's brewed hot or cold. :)

      That's just how the human brain works. It will always adjust to your situation and that becomes the new normal. New York is only crazy to them because they come from a small town in a small country. If they lived in New York for 6 months they would become accustomed to it and "take it for granted" as well. Its nothing to feel bad about. There's literally no way you couldn't take it for granted.

I was terrified of heights and the stairs were open between the treads and had a simple pipe railing. I spent the whole time up against the wall in a panic. My teacher had to hold my hand and basically talk me through each step on the way down. I was sobbing! No shame! The fear was (and is) real!

I had several drinks at an Irish pub/restaurant a few doors down from my hotel, the bartender fed me free shots as long as he was matching them. As I was walking around after I left the pub, full of drink, I inadvertently walked right through a Law and Order: SVU set. Nobody stopped me or said anything, saw Mariska Hargitay down the alley, I just kept walking. One of the funniest moments in my entire life.

Dave Matthews Band at Madison Square Garden, Royal Blood at Brooklyn Steel, Ripe with Welshley Arms and Lawrence at…. I don’t remember, but I say that to say this. In following your channel I’m finding myself somewhat envious of how you’re touring the States but I’m also really happy you get to experience how warm and friendly American people can be. We get a bad rap sometimes which I completely get, but it’s nice to see good people come from all over the world expecting certain things and then finding themselves pleasantly surprised.

    10:00. Here is a cool story! Back in 1981 my mom was a girl scout leader in a town called Kenilworth, New Jersey. She was famous in New Jersey for creating "unique trips" for Girl Scouts, She called WPIX 11 (a TV channel in New York City) and asked if there was anyway that a Girl Scout Troop could bring sleeping bags to the Empire State Building and sleep on the top floor. My mom told them that they would have the girls take pictures of New York City as the sun rose at 6AM and that WPIX could air the New York skyline from the top floor on the Empire State Building from multiple cameras. I am the son of the girl scout leader so I went on the "girl" scout trips. Guess what I did in 1981!! I slept in a sleeping bag on one of the walkways of the Observation Deck of the Empire State Building--hahaha! Somewhere in the ether there is a news segment from WPIX NY Channel 11 of all of the girls (and me) getting on the elevator at midnight (the Observation Deck had to be closed and cleaned by the janitors) to sleep on the top floor. I woke up around 6AM seeing the sun beaming off the Chrysler Building. Just an incredible forever memory.....11:15. I actually slept on one of those walkways that Nadine & Atlanta are standing on here!!! My eyes in the morning opened to looking out the window--hahaha.
