Wow, Gingerman looks fun! I see they're decked out for Christmas now! aaaaw ❄️🎅 thank you, i'm gonna save it in my google maps

Wow, thank you so much! It really means a lot and your support truly keeps me motivated. I hope the channel continues to grow and reach more people, and comments like yours make it all worthwhile. Thanks for being part of this journey! 😍😍😍

It's hard not to enjoy Mexico, isn't it? 😉

Hi, how have you been??!!!! Good to hear from you! Def will hit u up next time! ❤️

very true! lisbon is like a maze where you won't know which ones are which, u might stumble upon a tourist trap or a few feet away, might find a hidden gem! do you wanna spill the beans on some local favorites? 🥹

That's great, thank you! Would you recommend any other burger chains? It seemed like locals really enjoy foreign cuisines, what would be your favorite?

Nice! Which bars would you recommend to go for? or walk north, south, east, west? 😅 divey as much as possible, plz?

That's great to know! So, when it comes to steak, which temperature do the locals prefer? Med rare or more med or well done?

@ Can’t speak for everyone, but I like it medium-rare. A lot of my friends and family like it medium. Next time you’re here check out Tomahawk steakhouse in Templebar

wow, Tomahawk looks exquisite! Thank you!

Actually, can't wait 😛! Lisbon was amazing, so I can’t wait to explore more of Portugal and try all the local dishes. Any recommendations on where to go next? I was thinking, Porto?

Glad I could help! And please share if you find more cool spots along the way!

INSIGHT right here. Love it

Wow, thank you for taking the time, explaining all the intricacies! I found them so fascinating! For the tram, do the drivers get fined for parking that way? Or get towed or is it not really enforced? I can't imagine what you guys, the locals go through when the tram gets stuck but you're in a hurry w a bunch of tourists taking photos! 😅 What's your preferred mode of transport these days? One of my highlights of the trip was all these delicious petiscos in tascas and now that I'm on this restrictive diet (health concern), I'm even more appreciative of them! Fresh, quality ingredients without additives and how you guys work with it was so mind-blowing! Like you make 20 minutes for bacalhau? Wow! Will store bought matchstick fries help? At this point, cod must be in you guys' blood! 😛 I came back and made my version, I was in the kitchen for at least an hour! How do you do it? Oh My God! Pastel de nata & Ginjinha does sound like a Perfect Breakfast! I found 1 portuguese store 20 miles away from home, I can't wait to go there! Aaaw, it must be magical there right now, with the Christmas tree in the placa. Definitely will be back, thank you for all your recommendations and Cana Verde in Alfama! I visited Lisbon in spring, do you think fall would be a great time to visit next?

Hi!!! How you've been?

@MelMashbat Great so so good to see you again. How do you like Portugal? Try to go to the Azores especially Terceira. Miss ya

So good to hear from you, too! I loved the people, fresh, quality, food, definitely could see why you kept telling me to go to Portugal! 😝 I really wanted to go to Azores but the logistics didn't work out then but it's still in the top of my head! 🤗

@@MelMashbat EXCELLENT so so glad you liked it. So put on your list the Azores and Madeira I'm pretty sure you will love it. Where are you off to next? Cant wait till your next vid. Stay safe have fun. God Bless.

Wow, Terceira & Madeira look like a dream! are the waters great for snorkeling there? Right now i'm home, in L.A, working on Madrid videos, loooved it there as well, can't wait to tell ya 😊

Fair point! Dublin can be busy, and there's so much to see outside the city. Any recommendations for local spots except the Cliffs of Moher?

😂😂😂😂

💁🏻?

Yeah, it's a pain to find legit spots there! Have you found any hidden gems in Dublin that you'd recommend instead? plz share ☺️

Great question! They state that all customers can bring on board a maximum of ONE Small bag OR Holdall and ONE Medium suitcase (63 x 41 x 27cm). Golf clubs, sports equipment, musical instruments, and sports items that exceed the specified luggage dimensions are not allowed onboard". Pushchairs and prams are ok but should be collapsed. Safe travels with your family!

Totally agree! Menudo is the ultimate comfort food when you're feeling rough. 😅 What's your favorite way to enjoy it?

Yeah, I, too, don't get TH-cam 😅 but hearing comments like yours really gives me hope that quality content will be appreciated sometime in the future 😬 in the meantime, let's keep eating and sharing secrets! I see you sail a lot! Would you have recommendations for Lisbon, Portugal as for places to eat? I'm editing a video right now about Lisbon local favorites

❤

❤

😍

Exactly! The simple and fresh ingredients spoke for themselves, I got on this new diet focusing solely on natural ingredients and oh how much I wish I was in Dublin right now 😅

Thank you! The way you told its history literally made me visualize it back in the days so much better than any guides out there! Would you share any recommendations as to where to eat, with unpretentious good food in Dublin?

@@MelMashbat I am not the one to ask for those little secrets that are known to the locals. im not one to eat out, i cannot afford to. in fact, i never go anywhere these days, as im a life long loner indulging instead in my art and hobbies. sorry i couldnt help.

oh no, no worries, prices have been increasing like crazy and when it comes to eating out - almost impossible nowadays! been cooking a lot lately and got this a new found respect for simply prepared meals 😋

So good!

Hi there! Are u referring to the last one in the video? Then it's Pepper Parlor in Shibuya, Tokyo. Here's the google maps link - maps.app.goo.gl/3ed8vUjDjCfpfeYZ8. R u going there soon?

@@MelMashbat Thanks!

yeah, it's a shame though the staff was very warm and friendly, decor was nice, but food was on a bland side

Yeeey! After this trip though, I feel like I avoid drinking Guinness outside of Ireland cuz after tasting how good it is, nothing compares to it anymore

Appreciate you sooo much!

u r awesome :-p

really, would you say there are more transplants rather than locals in Dublin?

@@MelMashbat in some areas of the north inner city are majority foreign yeah sadly. If you had of come to Ireland 15 20 years ago you would have seen a whole other city. I used to fall around drunk with my friends singing and having great craic, couldn't do that as much now

Thanks for sharing your perspective! It’s always interesting to hear how cities evolve over time, especially from those who’ve seen it firsthand. Dublin still has a vibrant spirit, though! Have you found any spots where the old-school craic is still alive? Also, am I understanding "craig" correctly? (good, fun times?)

me, too, been there so many times but hasn't seen that side before

Google mapsed it, saved it in seconds. thank you so much! looks like a legit local spot

Thank you, sir! ;-)

Yeah, I was wondering how these warm and kind people with great smiles can serve such dry fish without taste. I'm not one to be blunt but I really was looking forward for fish n chips lol

The food at Pickle was mouthwatering and fragrant, overall a nice experience, the only thing to warn you about though is the server keeps bugging you if you want any more dishes to up his sale. Me and my husband just ordered 2 items but he kept insisting to get one more entree etc. Anyways, please share your wisdom on any other good places! If direct flights to Dublin go on sale, I'll be more than happy to hit ur recommended spots

@@MelMashbat I have a particular response to servers (or sales people in general) 'thanks for taking my order, if I need anything else I'll let you know'.

which neighborhoods should we explore next, do dubliners gatekeep the good ones? 😂

What's a "kip"?

Only local people would know

their ribs look good, maybe i'll check it out next time. which areas did you like best in Dublin?

This word again, "kip", what does it mean? Which city would be a better alternative to Dublin, in ur opinion?

it seems that palace bar has quite a reputation for locals, plz tell me what it is it? and as for breakfast, do Irish order their breakfast without the beans?

Awesome thank you! Yeah why would they claim it as such?! (to draw in tourists, perhaps) mmm, interesting. wow, thanks to u just found out Sean's Bar is in the Guinness World Records as the oldest one 😉

@MelMashbat Indeed it is! I really like your videos. Keep it up! 💚🇮🇪

I've just been to both. The brazen head had great food as well. Sean's is just drinks. Both were awesome

Aw thank you! I'm so so glad, plz share your other favorites as well ❤️
