Not the fake baby/fake injury trick they use in Paris, nothing! This is the number one thing I tell American friends when they are planning to travel to Europe, as we would just never expect it

    That way of mugging happens a lot in London. I was in a pub and a girl on the table next to me got her phone mugged, she only realised after the lady with the paper had been told to leave by the staff, and lost her phone. Never leave your phone (or wallet!) on the table guys!

    The reason you climb is why I do yoga or meditate. Love all the songs you mentioned in this video. They often label clothes incorrectly, so annoying! Minimalism and me is like minimalism and you Jack, I really get it. I have a fear of rocking boats so... but that canal boat bookshop looks so awesome! I usually order books online but I do love browsing bookshops. LOVE the sunset. Love the moon. Inamo is AWESOME! Love how right after you said "a moment of silence for our fallen troops" ads came on.

  • @jsonotlike
    @jsonotlike 3 года назад

    Hey, Jack, I’ve been enjoying your content lately (especially when you talk about books, because you give me the boost I need to read more), just wanted to add here, because a lot of people get confused - the meaning of being a minimalist isn’t to not have a lot of stuff, but to have material possessions that spark joy in you. This is why minimalism is different for everyone and why we have the extremes with people who own less than 100 items and people who have houses full of things. Just wanted to clarify this for you. It’s all in the mindset. Have a great day and can’t wait for you to cover more book-related topics!

  • @emmaclaire17
    @emmaclaire17 4 года назад +1

    I did a course on graffiti at uni actually! Most people's words are something personal to them, and there's meanings to a lot of the symbolism around graffiti which I recommend looking up if you have the time! I also recommend sitting and working out your tag, it's quite fun to try out different graffiti styles just on a piece of paper when you're bored!
