Beam me up is what they say on Star Trek “Beam me up Scottie” when they want to me transported into the ship
Grew up in the valley we used to ride our Old bike up Baldwin zig zagging to the to then the fun began down we went no helmets,shorts and some serious you know what's never once got hurt that was pure adrenaline 😊😮😮😮
Having the international students, and a large immigrant population, has given Dunedin an odd mixed feeling. Really old English style buildings and many international grocery stores. It's fabulous, I can get genuine ingredients from all over the world within one bus ride.
Beam me up is my go to breakfast place, glad you had a good time in Ōtepoti, I personally prefer the Willowbank dairy further north down George St, but I have personal bias from working there! 😅😉 hope you come back sometime, George st is finished construction now 🤙🏻
My dad was a truck driver and helped build Baldwin St, the only way they could get the trucks up it was in reverse. We lived further down the valley, higher up in Mt Mera, the streets could only go straight up so far after that it had to zigzag.
By the way, the city is having a lot of amazing museums ... It is raining ...
Dunedin actually had the sunniest summer in NZ last year (which is unusual, I will admit!) 😅
thats so hard to believe 😂😂
@GlenAndMado I know! But we tend to have a really terrible Christmas about every 4-5 years, and in between, the weather is usually just as good as anywhere else - spent most of my time off at the beach, last year (instead of sitting in front of a fire, like this horrible one)! 😂
A student died going down Baldwin St in a wheelie bin when I was at uni. I appreciate that it’s too late now but I hope you got to see the glow worms up Leith Valley and do some of the walks through the town belt. Also checking out Aramoana and the peninsula at night makes for great stargazing.
Omg it's weird seeing Dunedin on RUclips
hahahah thats so funny 😂😂
your narrative skills are spot on, Glen
awh your very kind my friend!
We have a small forest in the center of the city also. There are walking paths that pop out to different parts of the city. I used to play in the part of the belt across from my house as a child.
They needed to look at Queen's Drive and Ross Creek!
In 1953 there was a deep (to me at 5 years old) ditch between the road and footpath. I was running down hill and according to my mother, accidently did a forward flip into that ditch. I only vaguely remember it lol.
They used to roll thousands of Jaffa's down Baldwin street every year
The city really does empty out in summer - students go back to their home towns, and a lot of Dunedinites head away to Queenstown or other tourist places in central Otago. I sat on that grass bank opposite the University Clocktower many times while I was at university :) And I still go to regular pub quizzes at The Bog!
Thank you for a thorough appreciation of beautiful interesting Dunedin. I follow all of your videos and you never disappoint me. I have learnt a lot. Your commentary complements the wonderful journey.
Thanks for your lovely comment! Hope you're making the most of our videos and enjoying them; the support keeps us making more content! Have a lovely one, Christine!
Tell your life story please. How you and Mado met @@GlenAndMado :))
There you are: missing your beautiful videos. Welcome back.
Regards South Africa 🇿🇦.
haha yeah the kepler (great walk) took us away for 4 days so couldn't get the editing in!
Great Vid you two I am glad your enjoying Dunedin. BTW that end of the main street is Princes Street it changes to George Street at the Octagon.
Wow Dunedin is beautiful. Thanks Glen and Mado
your very welcome hope you enjoyed :)
Loving these videos guys! Such great energy and openness to adventure. Also, I really appreciate the balance between your two personalities. I am moving to NZ this year and this is really helping me get a feel for the place. Would you mind sharing what websites have been the most helpful for you to pick up these temp jobs? Thanks and I hope you are enjoying Queenstown right now.
Lovely city
The narrative also really good to follow
Awesome guys. 😊
You guys past DNI the school around that road near the new world and across the road from the shops
awh sure love to hear everyones stories too while having a nice chat with the locals when passing by :)
Just sent three days in Dunedin. Fantastic weather
If you are still in New Zealand and heading back to Auckland at some stage check out the Bontanic Gardens in Manurewa. I live 10 min drive from there and they are great to walk around.
Make sure you go to tunnel beach and out to the peninsula and go to Allan’s beach
Oh we did already actually 😉 very beautiful beach indeed!
Great day! Imagine riding a skateboard down that steep street!
You looked genuinely pleased with your GYMSHARK hoodie Glen 😉 I love bagels too Mado!😁
Oh, I was an absolute bargain. easily 50dollars for it brand new haha
I live in Dunedin
Thank you for another gem, G & M
Your the Gem Richard 😉
My mum used to live there in the 60s
Great to see you, lovely to see Dunedin to, I have been there for a conference but no time to explore, it looks lovely
very unfortunate, should definitely check it out and get yourself back to the lovely city of Dunedin!
I hope you're all OK, Star Trek fans.
Ohhh yeah! 👍 hope your well my friend and having a wonderful day!
Ha Glen and Mado did a real life meme. Perfect!
@@theunknownunknowns5168 that ain’t good 😢😂😂 we never actually watched Star Trek that’s the big issue here!
@@GlenAndMadoto be clear I'm laughing at us, the Star Wars and Star Trek nerds not you guys. That's the inside joke. It is just funny because we feel it's important, but it isn't. Also to be clear I'm not totally into the scene I just have understanding of the scene.
@theunknownunknowns5168 who says it isn't important? Some people think the lives of the Kardashians matter! 😛
😊
at the top normal asphalt road pavement dosnt stay in place on baldwn st and would run down.... hence they have to use concrete
Six60 hail from Dunedin, check them out. Good kiwi tunes
Chai Latte is my favourite hot drink to get at coffee shops :D (I’m only halfway through but had to comment on the superior choice of drunk hehe)
Mado loves them! Always craving one everyday 😂🙌
@@GlenAndMado I just realized I made a typo and wrote “superior choice of _drunk”_ instead of “drink” 😅
But yes chai are the best drink!! Especially when you can get a really spicy one 🥰
Loving watching your impressions of Dunedin, plus lived here all my life and never knew about that fountain part of the gardens lol I am going to check it out one day don't normally visit the top part lol .
You’re so lucky to live there!! It’s been my dream to move there for yeeeears (currently stuck waaaaaay down south and unable to drive). Hopefully my family and I can live there soon though :D it’s the perfect city imo!! 🙏🏻💚
My home town too and learning how much it has changed over the 50+ years after leaving. The Leith Stream was basically a ditch but now so wide and useful.
Love from nepal guys
Believe it or not, but in the Leith stream in front of the university you can catch brown trout!
Hope you guys made it up signal hill lookout?
Yea and to the albatross colonies Otago University students are called scarfies.
There's a movie they made called scarfies
Cheers
Bean me up Bagel = Beam me up Scotty (Star Trek) :)
NZ basically shuts down over the Christmas holiday period as you found in Dunedin! Thanks for exploring Otago Uni as normally full of students and this Kiwi had never seen inside. Really beautiful uni grounds and buildings. You guys really make the most of the op shops too and a couple of great tops and sunnies. Dunedin has so much to offer and thanks Glen and Mado for featuring your Kiwi home for Christmas.
Yeah absolutely insane how the place turns into a ghost town haha. yeah Mado wanted to really explore the university and no better way to do it while the place is empty 😂
Did you get to Tunnel Beach? Its my favourite place in Dunedin.
yup should be in our next video :)
Was that a marriage proposal to Mado in the Botannic Gardens there Glen. Amongst the white roses? How romantic lol
Another good video guys. Baldwin Street is steeper than it looks from the bottom, isnt it?
hahha, we were doing a bit of roll playing, that's all, David. Yeah, basically, the road looks more steep in person! Especially from the bottom. the camera doesn't do any justice.
LOL Guys will you use the pedestrian crossing rather than wandering over the road when you are like 10 feet away from it. 😁🤣
Didn’t even notice 😂😂
Fun fact..years ago you used to be able drive down Baldwin St from the top but the Council closed it off...there are many Streets close to Baldwin that are almost as steep..
Oh no way? didn't even know. thought you could drive from another street onto the top. we never actually went to the top top as there was so many people up there 😅
Dunedin is my hometown, hopefully you two have taken a drive down the peninsula to the Albatross Colony..two ways to get there,the high road and the low road..enjoy
Best sunglasses bro 👍don't listen to the Mrs
Very kind hahaha yeah not bad at all, a real bargain!
@GlenAndMado I'm enjoying your videos guys. I'm taking the mickey bruv, Mado is a keeper 😊
Well eucalyptus is hardly an english word and given it is native to Australia not surprising its unfamiliar. The oil is very therapeutic; I used some this morning to help heal a wound and its great as an aromatic
awh awesome! hope your wounds aren't too bad I hope! wish you a quick recovery with that. awh We know about Eucalyptus years, as it's also a common medicine to buy back in our home countries. Just can't pronounce it 😂
come to nelson and takaka glen and mado
They did this video footage of a month ago , but uploaded today
awh no this is basically filmed 3 weeks ago! :) @@coopsnz1
Dunedin University is known for training doctors
still a world record! lol
Only the butterfly house charges to get in, all the rest of the museum is totally free
yup we went in for a quick look to see the situation 😉
I ran it 😂
I am so shocked to hear Glen struggled to talk. He is so outgoing now.
Always outgoing just struggled as a kid and did speech therapy too
Say “Mew-ral”!
You've gone so far south that you're no longer in New Zealand's summer!
Definitely felt that way hahaha and still does kinda here in queenstown!
👍👍🏃♂️so, are you still in NZ?
Yup! Another 4 months id say!
You are running out of longitude!
Are you going to travel up the west coast or something?
@@ChristoKiwi we’re currently in queenstown, videos are about 2 weeks behind 🙂
did you go to Larnach Castle? spooky vibes
We did! I mean mado did haha
are you kidding Beam me up Scottie
Google 'Beam me up Scott'y'. It's a Star Trek reference NOT Star Wars.
only one thing Glen give mado some space to speak if you cut in too much it can be a bit manic, I understand your coffee fix habit as I enjoy a coffee made in my coffee machine every day and! I do notice it gives me more get up and go sometimes a bit hypo and my wife tells me so..
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥰🥰🥰🥶🥶🥶🥶
Star Trek / Star Wars. 😂😢😅 You guys gunna upset a lot of nerds. Not this nerd though it's funny as.
