Okay I didn’t realize that when I booked this hotel that it was right in the middle of Germany’s naughtiest Street this has to be the naughtiest place in the country I just walked by and people
Were trying to um sell me something to snort you can see it’s completely different than um it was during the day with the neon signs what’s up everybody welcome back to the first blog of
2024 right now it is January 1st by the time you guys are seeing this video probably a week later but today I’m heading off to Cairo Egypt and I’m actually flying Lanza business class I’m heading to Frankfurt on a 10hour 50-minute flight with the 24-hour layover in Frankfurt and then we’ll
Be arriving in Cairo so join me as we travel um to Cairo Egypt in this video or who knows maybe we’ll do something cool in Frankfurt now I am shocked right now because here at the airport man there is a huge abundance of homeless people just hanging around outside the LAX airport and
It’s crazy that they do nothing about it and this is one of like the most busiest airports in the nation now I already checked my bag I did upgrade the flight here at the airport because I
Got the flight for super cheap around $500 with the long layover and then the upgrade cost me ,000 so I still ended up getting the business class fight for about 1,500 in compared to the 5,000 that it would have cost had I booked it online right away so yeah surprisingly
Airport’s not too bad right now but it is January 1st I have a feeling that January 2nd tomorrow is going to be a lot worse so let’s actually make our way through security now and then we’ll get up to the lounge I got an hour and a half before boarding actually starts so
With the business class flight you actually get the Star Alliance lounge access I’ve actually never visited that Lounge before so I’m excited there’s no priority past lounges here in the Tom Bradley which kind of sucks so normally I can’t even use my priority pass to visit any but um
Today today since we did upgrade we get access to the lounge so yeah right now um the lines are moving pretty smooth mine was terrible but it actually only took me about an hour to get
All the way through so these here are oh this is where TSA pre-check goes up so I’m actually in the other aisle with all the traveling I do I should probably get a TSA pre-check by now but
Yeah I don’t really travel too much within the US so it’s kind of kind of a waste of my $100 if you ask me I don’t know priorities I guess but yeah I’ll see you guys once we make it through
Security security was an absolute Breeze and yeah right now I’m in the middle of LAX I just walked in there’s actually a lot of uh stores open yeah everything seems to be operating as usual now right now I’m actually looking for the Star Alliance Lounge I think I heard him
Say sixth floor but I’ve never even knew that this airport was sixth floor so you know maybe I’ll ask information but I definitely need a nice uh Jack and Coke right about now I think that’ll
That’ll spicen up the mood a little bit and get me ready for this flight so um let me look for this lounge and then I’ll see you guys inside there and hopefully it’s good because lately a
Lot of the lounges that I’ve been going on into have been they’ve been pretty weak all right you know what H let me ask some information and then um I’ll get back to you guys okay so I just
Got done asking and she said to walk towards the Gucci store and then make a left so that’s where we’re heading to now she said it’s actually in this tower on the sixth floor in the elevator
So let’s go look for that right now and check it on out now they also have a PF Changs up there I’m not sure if I’ve always missed that but I’ve never noticed that here in this airport
But then again I always show up here like just with enough time to board My Flights but yeah check out the advertisements they got in here right now now I know there’s a lot of you guys who have never traveled before have you never taken a flight before let me know yeah right
Here six floor Star Alliance okay this spot is nice look they got outdoor seating outdoor Terrace area all kinds of places to sit down a lobby but this here is where I’m heading to first first things first let’s hit the bar look they got some snacks the game on okay
This might be one of the coolest lounges I’ve ever visited and I had no idea it was here at LAX but yeah they got a little like outdoor patio no smoking but they got some fire you
Can enjoy the view of the planes inside they got a little selection of food it’s not the greatest but it’s there they got a nice fully loaded bar I actually got me a temple Templeton rum and coke
And yeah guys this place is awesome so I’m going to do a little bit of snacking do a little bit of drinking I got 1 hour 45 minutes till I got to be at the gates and I’m going to get there early
Because I did pay for the business class so I’m going to get um early board access and of course the welcome drinks so I don’t want to miss that anyways guys cheers to um 2024 I wish you guys
An amazing year thank you for making 2023 one of the best of my life and let’s hope that 2024 can get better and may we all accomplish our dreams our goals and I wish you guys good health so cheers oh that’s nice man look at that what a BL cool all right he’s
Trying to make sure I don’t drink no more me before I get on that PL all right well um I’m going to crush through a few of these bad boys and you know what I’m not going to
Bore you guys with too much of the lounge I’ll see you guys on the flight how about that so we have just boarded the flight I had let me actually you know what let me let you guys
Guess how many uh Jackin cooks or actually whiskey Cooks I had inside of the lounge but right now we are inside of the plane now the see it’s actually a little it’s a little spacious it’s not as good
As the um last business class we had to Sri Lanka however it is still it’s acceptable so this here is the configuration down here we actually got a blanket we got a screen menus tablets a little bit
Of storage place and it was actually given to us with a blanket that should be nice and a pillow and yeah we should be taking off here in the next few minutes but yeah definitely um very spacious it does have the overhead luggage compartment though um but still super spacious is very
Nice so we have made it to Frankfurt and let me just tell you guys that flight was a breeze seriously I hope one day I make it to a point in life where I can pay for business class every
Single time because that flight was amazing and literally um didn’t feel it at all I fell asleep for about 7 hours fully lied down and now I’ve feel refreshed here in Frankfurt so the airport is actually pretty busy it’s actually super cold out here too but I’m excited now right now I
Actually don’t have to pick up any bags because they’re getting checked all the way to Cairo now I think I’m just going to look for the exit and head straight to my hotel I’m actually staying
In the city center at the Hilton and from what I read online it’s only about a 15minute train ride from here and trains are right there so let’s go look for one so I just made it through immigration now according to Google Maps the train is only about a 30 minute train journey
To the city center actually it should be a little bit faster than that um because we are pretty much arriving to the train terminal right now but let me just tell you guys man I wasn’t expecting the uh immigration officers to be as friendly as they were but man they were super kind
Super friendly and um yeah he even gave me some beer recommendations food recommendations cool guy man I love being in Germany every time I’m in Germany it’s a good time um it’s been a few years since I’ve spent some good quality time here in this country but Springtime Springtime is going
To be your up time I’ll be back to explore a lot more and of course make all those good videos in the UK for you guys that you guys want to see so right now let’s get on the train almost got hit
By these Gates and let’s make it to uh Frankfurt hoop off from here to Frankfurt City Center €6 6.30 they actually have English German French Italian and Spain Turkish translations single trip Frankfurt adults actually let’s see how much the day pass costs day ticket adults 12
Old30 let’s do that actually all right um this one all right so the train is here this here is the train that I’m going to be taking to the city center and according to these signs and it
Has Wi-Fi and it’s only about a 13-minute ride to the city center I mean look at these trains though they look awesome little bit of graffiti never hurt nobody all right let’s get on in
Here all right wow they even have like a private cabin that’s cool all right I think I’ll sit right here main station man to be honest with you guys I don’t know what Google Maps was saying that ride
Literally took 10 minutes from the airport to the city center but right now we are here and man inside of the subway station it is cold it is super cold so um as soon as we walk on out
Of here yeah my nose is probably going to start running I can already feel the the the European winter Vibes now I usually steer away from Winter I’m not a big winter person but for one day why
Not now I did hear that it is actually quite chilly in Egypt as well but hopefully we get some nice weather while we’re out there okay I just saw a sign that says osang which means exit here in Germany now um quick little Pro tip anytime you guys land in Europe anywhere
In the world actually but especially here in Europe in the um in the train stations always make sure that you put your wallet your phone all your valuables in a safe spot because especially inside of these Metro stations uh sub stations man uh there’s a lot of pickpockets especially
In Europe and I had a friend in 2019 when we both landed in Berlin literally from the airport to the hotel he got pickpocketed and lost his wallet for the entire trip so don’t be one of those people
And I’ve already saw some some little suspicious characters so I had to move all of my belongings to the front but here we are time to um see what frankfur has in store for us wow it’s been many
Many years since I have been inside of this uh train station but so many memories as soon as I walked out of here I mean look at how beautiful these train stations are here in Germany guys and
All around Europe so these here are where the tracks are this is where the trains line up and you can actually take trains all around Europe from here you can literally head all the way
Down to Greece or all the way to Spain on a Metro Rail um from here in Frankfurt I mean look at how amazing this terminal is super beautiful isn’t it guys I mean look at this so European right
I mean you can’t get more European than this haters going to hate potato’s going to potate oh that’s nice I like that but yeah super cool place now my first time ever in Europe was in
2017 when I quit my job to go and travel around the world I came here with my best friend and we spent a lot of time in this train station and we basically traveled around Europe for 7 months we
Took we took a lot of cheap Ryan Air and whiz air flights but we actually traveled mainly by into inter Rail and you can actually um purchase a inter rail pass for a month 2 months 3 months
Or even for a set duration amounts of trips so definitely something to to look into if you’re planning on coming out to Europe it’ll save you a lot of time a lot of money and you’ll be able
To have freedom to just hop on trains Hop Off trains head to new countries every single day that’s what I did it was fun I’m going to be doing that again this year so um you’ll be re
Reliving all of that with me I see some Christmas decorations we’re about to see Frankfurt together oh man yeah definitely winter Vibes out here walked out to a cloud of cigarette smoke and um the smell of rain but yeah this year is Frankfurt guys look at how beautiful this place is you can
Tell they had like some winter markets going on here I think that’s what that was for but yeah look at the front of the station so beautiful right hop off means main station in Germany or something like that because everywhere every Big City has one of those but yeah super beautiful
Man all right says we’re about a 10minute walk right up this road here let’s go check out our room directly in front of the train station actually let me show you guys directly in front of the train station there’s actually this bouevard like walking street with all
Kinds of different restaurants there’s an Afghani restaurant right there um Potato restaurant gu they a lot of potatoes here in Germany um couple beauty stores yeah a lot of shopping very European Boulevard here now um there’s also lime scooters and uh lime bikes
Everywhere for rents so pretty cool to see but yeah very cold and you know it’s actually um not super cold yet here in Europe especially if you ask the Europeans but for me I think I need
Some gloves and something to cover up my my ears for a little bit so I actually brought brought a beanie with me and some jeans because I’m only wearing sweatpants right now but um yeah I’ll get changed and we’ll probably go get some food here in a bit let’s see hopefully the area
That my hotel in or that my hotel is in is quite nice all right so it looks like over here on this street wow oh man look at this they got an erotic shop what is this more bars W I guess I’m staying
In like the I guess the red light district I’m not too sure that’s what it looks like okay I didn’t realize that when I booked this hotel that it was right in the middle of Germany’s naughtiest Street this has to be the naughtiest place in the country I mean there are red lights
Oh I guess broos everywhere I mean look at that that’s a brool right there and yeah they just say you can come in for SE so this here is my hotel Hilton Garden Inn I’ve actually never stayed at
A Hilton Garden Inn I actually maybe that’s why it was so cheap because it was a Hilton Garden in and not a regular Hilton all right let’s head on in there check in was incredibly smooth man this
Hotel is nice look they got a little work center a little computer that you can use printer as well to print out your tickets the lobby is quite nice and now it’s time to head on upstairs and I
Actually got to throw the phone on the charger before I continue all right we’re on the third floor 329 oh man I smell Indian food sounds good wow I’m impressed for $80 not bad I always love
Myself an elevator like this where you can get a nice view as you’re going up to your room a lot of high-rise buildings Springford is known for being like um one of the business cities here in Europe
Where there’s all the banks and a lot of uh a lot of business takes place here all right 329 let’s see hopefully we got a good view all right we’re to the right so this here is what $80 gets
You in Frankfurt not bad huh got a closet in here nice queen-sized bed chair desk television mirror and then here’s the bathroom everything you need for a nice little short stay wow definitely not
Bad for $80 I’ve stayed in a lot worse and then I don’t got a view but hey it’ll do the job it’ll do the job I mean look at this it looks cold as [ __ ] out there huh I keep saying that this whole
Video but when you’re in Germany in the winter there really not much to say but it’s cold as [ __ ] all right so I just left the hotel and it is raining now guys I just actually walked into
One of these buildings right here and they are in fact uh red light districts they are actually like 7even eight floors of just yeah hallways full of doors with women sitting out front of them so it’s pretty crazy and there’s actually like all kinds of uh people out on the streets like
Selling dope I just walked by and people were trying to um sell me something than the snort so yeah definitely walk down the or book the hotel in the wrong side of the wrong side of the street this definitely is probably like Germany’s um craziest Street for sure you know what I’ve
Been in Germany for a whole hour and that’s an hour too long it’s time for a beer let’s jump into a store and see if I can’t buy myself a nice little beer uh nice German beer to kick
Off this little trip so this here is where we’re going to jump on into what’s up bro all right I think this here is what I’m going to go with the augustiner these here are my favorite beers bam
And this is how you do it right here this my new German friend I just walked out of the grocery store you want a beer let’s buy you a beer come on let’s buy the homie of beer no oh but I was
Going to all right all right here well you know what let me get let me get him a let me get him a cheap beer bro I’ll get you here I get you one bro which one you want €150 that’s your budget come
On which one which one you want yeah but which one yeah this one this one is that the one you want yeah yeah yeah take that one take that one take that one yeah yeah yeah I get it I
Pay for you so I just walked out of the store so yeah this here is the um Austina the hellis my favorite beer in Germany I believe it’s a beer from Bavaria cheers or PR now when I was actually
In the store the guy that was working there he was a pretty cool guy he was telling me don’t buy none of these guys nothing he was telling me to be careful here on this street he said
That this street is very dangerous and to hide my phone and my watch I was showing my Apple watch so he was like cover that and put your phone away so you know what I think I’m going to take as advice
Cheers all right let’s find some food all right it’s raining quite hard right now so I decided to just turn around and come into this restaurant right here it’s called freeon work and it looks like they got like some traditional German food or at least uh variations of it oh wow
This place is awesome all right let’s come on in here hopefully I can bring my beer in here English there we go eat here let’s see what kind of options they got oh they got vegan options for all you vegans out there chicken shama poutine barbecue P pork poutine poutine is what they
Call French fries here or um pulus Tijuana Street fries wow these have like guacamole Curry’s wor special you know what that’s go ahead and try the Curry’s worse that’ll hit the spot right now and let’s go with let’s just do regular fries so this here is my order these
Are the Curry’s wors it looks a little bit bougier than the Curry’s wors I usually eat and then this year is a water because this year well besides the beers that I’m going to have everywhere around the world I’ve made it a New Year’s resolution to not drink any more soda so
No more soda no more cook zero I got to get rid of that stuff and I got to start making some better healthier decisions however um a beer especially in Germany is always a must so so let’s dive on
Into his Curry’s worse now I’m actually going to grab one of the sausages one of the fries now I don’t know exactly where I’m going with this video um but we’ll see we’ll see what it
Turns out to be hopefully you guys are enjoying it though all right cheers I mean this is what you do when you have a layover anywhere in the world you go you have some local food you have a
Beer you get some rest oh [Music] man that is so good so Curry’s worst is essentially just a sausage a big sausage covered in curry sauce and they love their fries here and mayonnaise in Germany everywhere you go they put mayonnaise on everything I don’t understand it but it goes well it goes
Well it does make me feel good being back in Europe however I definitely am going to am going to stick to Europe in the summer Springtime the winter for me is just brutal and this isn’t even
That bad last year when I was in um Europe chasing down all the Christmas markets it was quite brutal out here this it’s decent weather but when it’s wet outside and you’re all wet it gets extra
Cold so you see all of these little neon signs with the hearts basically those are buildings with just floors of wom it’s crazy and yeah the city Cent is super beautiful it’s a mix of like modern and a very traditional old German architecture a lot of cinos as well interesting place and
There’s also the five elements hostel this is actually where I stayed my first time um ever in Frankfurt but yeah I’m on a little walk around right now very beautiful city but very wet and cold so I ended up crashing for a few hours and now I’m walking the streets it’s super cold
I threw the beanie on and let me just tell you guys the streets here around the main station get a lot rougher at night there’s actually like needles around on the floor bunch of like needles syringes you see a lot of people smoking like out of crack pipes man it’s crazy it’s pretty
Surreal place and yeah like I mentioned earlier there’s yeah red lights everywhere brothel so pretty crazy I was not expecting this um in this area I stayed at the five elements hostel a few years ago but I really didn’t walk around here I stayed here stayed there just for the night
And didn’t spend too much time in this area and right now when I was actually leaving the hotel they told me to put my phone away and not walk around with it like I am right now however
I wanted to show you guys what The Vibes are looking like out here on the streets at night because you can see it’s completely different than um it was during the day with the neon signs so this is what the streets look like at night I mean look
At the buildings how lit up they are with the hearts blinking all the red windows and it actually continues quite long as well you can pretty much expect to yeah walk around and find these pretty much on every spot but yeah there’s also a lot of good food here in the area as
Well but yeah let me know what you guys think of this street so far let me know what you guys think of this video like this one here is called Las Vegas but yeah I’ve noticed that there’s also a lot of like um Arab food a lot of Thai food
Vietnamese food here in this area as well let’s actually change the camera angle a bit now for a lot of you guys that are not new to Europe you might be like man that looks like a crazy place
What do you what uh why why did you choose to walk around there but um truth be told a lot of big cities in Europe especially around the main train stations or main bus terminals they’re always like the sketchiest places and you always find um red light districts just like this I mean
They have them in Brussels here in Germany and not just in uh Frankfurt and Munich and also in nurg there was a couple areas in the old town where I walked around and um saw a couple of those things
Where else I’m trying to make sure I don’t step on anything I’m not supposed to and you also got to excuse me you also got to be careful because as you’re walking the streets people are smoking
All kinds of stuff out of um pipes and earlier as I was walking into my hotel I had to walk underneath this like construction scaffolding and there was a lot of people um smoking out of
Some pipes down there and let me just tell you guys the fumes that were coming out of there smelt like something that you probably should not uh be inhaling now the reason I was saying
That was because well a lot of those fumes can be toxic and the last thing you want to do is like be walking down the street and get a nice whiff of some I don’t know some damn fentanyl or
Something and then you end up in a bag you know so I’m trying to be uh really smart and now I’m going to be walking a different way back to the hotel but yeah the streets I don’t know they are
Obviously very sketchy but I don’t find them well I don’t feel like um they’re dangerous I mean you basically just got a bunch of uh junkies walking around and you know those people never really scare me too much because um well obviously in Los Angeles it’s kind of the same kind of the
Same thing going on but European cities at night are all extremely beautiful I mean look at the look at the architecture and in the buildings and there’s actually quite a bit of movement out here
As well for it being well freezing there is a lot of movement but I guess the locals are obviously super um accustomed to the weather and for a lot of them this here is probably nothing so
Let me know when is the when is the coldest time in Germany when does it get the coldest as of right now I’ll tell you what I will not be coming in January February even March back
To here because yeah yeah I am I am uh freezing could barely talk but yeah it feels good to be back out on the road feels good to be in Europe even though it’s just for a day let me know if
Germany is on your guys’ bucket list and if this is a place that you guys have wanted a visit but yeah there’s the main station I haven’t really wandered too much I tried searching up things
To do in Frankfurt but yeah I was pretty tired and it’s raining quite bad so I didn’t really want to venture off too much but yeah this here is what Frankfurt Germany looks like at night and
Um now the the next videos you guys are going to be seeing are going to be from Cairo Egypt which I’m really excited about and hopefully it goes smooth because everybody well everybody that I
Know that has gone there has told me that it is a pain in the ass to enter with camera equipment and um that they don’t really like vloggers and that it’s hard to film so hopefully I can put together
Some good videos for you guys I left everything at home drone camera equipment I only brought the phone and the go Pro so let’s see what happens but yeah look they even got a Mexican food restaurant
Right here across the streets even though I just had some Cobia last night at home Rossman which is kind of like a like a CVS Pharmacy in the US almost like a Walmart you can go in there and
Buy everything Beauty items a lot of liquor stores convenience shops where you can buy beer yeah it’s nice so literally one one street away look there’s the red light oh no there’s the red light street
That down that way but one street over and you got you know a bunch of shopping restaurants and it’s pretty nice to walk around I have seen a a large law enforcement present here as well too so that’s
Pretty cool to see because it makes you feel a lot safer especially as a tourist walking around in an area where you know is the main train station where people show up um from other parts of Europe
Or around the world and you know tends to be a bit rough so it’s nice to see that the law enforcement presence is here all right well you know what I think um that’s going to be it for now if I find
Something else interesting to show you guys I’ll tune back in but for now I’ll see you guys again soon for another adventure from Cairo Egypt now I’m actually only going to Cairo in Alexandria
I’ll be back to visit a lot more but that’s what I have planned for this trip as of right now so um let’s see who knows things can change and I heard that Alexandria uh makes for a nice day
Trip too and you can actually get up there um quite fast from Cairo so who knows maybe I’ll even change the itinerary a little bit but for now um yeah guys see you see you again soon for
Another one I hope you enjoyed this little video but it was nice to catch up and you know inform you guys on what’s going on in the next few in the next few weeks what can you guys expect so yeah
Expect a lot of Egypt videos and then after that we’re heading to you know what I won’t tell you guys all that just yet but um stay tuned a lot of exciting trips happening in the next few weeks you always I the [Music] one
