    5:05 air conditioning isn't a thing? Whaaa? 😂 As a Maldivian who lived in that cramped capital for 3 years, I can say with reliable certainty, most places and apartments have air conditioning (although on some islands it's not as common).
    Also, almost 1/4 of our population lives in the capital but most of those people grew up on the actual islands and it's like a thing where we all hate the capital but are forced to move there for higher education and better employment opportunities because the development of the entire country is so focused and centralized on the capital.
    I would recommend befriending a local and visiting the inhabited islands instead of the resorts. I hope if anyone decides to go to Maldives to see how the people live, I hope they won't limit their exploration to the capital which has really little to offer other than a cramped concrete jungle (and not the nicest one at that even).

    Here's another one: The Gold Coast Airport near Brisbane, Australia. The runway is bisected by the state line so the southern half of the runway is in New South Wales while the terminal and the remainder of the runway is in Queensland. Even more interesting, during the austral summer, NSW observes Daylight Saving Time while Queensland doesn't; thus it is one hour later at the southern end of the runway than at the terminal!

    Having spent an inordinate amount of time at the airport in Dar Es Salam in Tanzania, I can attest that African airports are as crazy as you think. However, they are also incredibly boring because the bureaucracy there, even if you have money, takes foreeevverrrrrr

    You're doing yourself a real disservice by not visiting Barcelona with how cheap it is to visit from the UK. If you ignore the Camp Nou and La Rambla. Visit the old town, check out the amazing sculpture in the old cemetery, use the amazing public travel network to get out of the city proper and check out the interesting places on the outskirts. There is amazing food everywhere and learning the basics of catalonian enough to get around and order food, but most people are English speakers, or know enough. Of all the places I go, Barcelona is up there as my favourite.

    How do you find money for travelling? From your first channel or are you just rich?

      Maybe that Nigerian guy thought the jet he was climbing on was a hotel too.
