      I'm glad to read that you had the same experience! The toddlers, teens and timeless members of our family were all entertained. We loved how many surprise and delight stations were at the German Christmas Market! Staying in the old town made a difference as everything that we had time to see in two short days was within walking distance. The hotel swimming pool was definitely a hit too! Thank you for watching! Yaz

      @@magentapilot4576 Oh gosh, thank you for that compliment. I made the mistake of not checking my filming tools for 'frames per second' settings and lighting, so it was quite the challenge trying to make bad footage look presentable!!! Plus it's quite intrusive trying to film around a family vacation... I really appreciate the kind words.

    HI, Where did the inspiration come from to name the channel Planeta YAZ? What do you know about YAZ?😉

      Hello! Many, many years ago I was telling a work colleague some funny travel stories from my trip to India. I was laughing at some of the misadventures that had presented themselves to me along the way (I try very hard to look at the bright side of situations). My colleague couldn't see the humour in some of the situations that I had encountered so asked if I was from another planet to be able to enjoy these situations. 🙂My nickname is Yaz (short for Yasmin), so he started calling me Planet Yaz from that day on. After that I created a newsletter of my adventures for my family and friends that I called Planet Yaz. I would tell stories and draw cartoons that put a positive/amusing twist on maybe the 'not so fun' things that I had experienced in my travels. I started doing this for myself to teach myself how to focus on the positive and not the negative. This thought process changed my life for the better. I'm sorry, I'm not sure what YAZ is? Have a great day!

      @@planetyaz Hello, Yasmin, I'm "Gabriel Yaz". His name caused me curiosity and attention. I recently saw a “Podcast” where a girl talked about a distant planet called YAZ (Planet YAZ). Her story is fascinating and leads us to believe that this place really exists. I'm curious, interested and enthusiastic about the subject. I looked online for things, places, stories or something similar that would give me more information about this planet. I didn't find it! I saw your channel and was curious and connected the Podcast girl with the channel, but I saw that based on the content it had nothing to do with it. Even so, I saw some of her videos and liked them and soon realized that they were a travel blog, which, by the way, is fantastic. Still, I wanted to know the reason for her name and wrote to her. Thanks for the answer, I understood everything you said, that is, it has nothing to do with the girl's planet YAZ, but... it has something in common! The fact that your friend told you that you are from another planet, and also adopted the nickname YAZ, and then you created a channel with the same name, Coincidence? Maybe so, but you would never imagine that someone from another country could make the connection between “Yasmin” and Planet Yaz. It's incredible! Are you really from Planet YAZ and don't consciously know it? According to the podcast girl's report, there are millions of YAZ beings reincarnated on earth. Yasmin, I don't know if you believe in otherworldly things or spirituality or reincarnation or something. Many Brazilians see spirituality and exotericism as reasons to live in search of expanding consciousness and using spirituality as a guide to a better life. I don't know if this is your case. OK! I bought the book from the girl on the Podcast and started reading, if you want to know more, here is the title: “Planet Yaz, The story of one of the exiled humanities that inhabit the Earth”. Unfortunately for you, the book is in Portuguese and still doesn't have an English translation, I'm sorry! Google it. As for the podcast video, it is very long. I'm going to cut a small excerpt and publish it on my channel, which by the way is called @gabrielyaz and I have another one @ensinamentosdomestre. There are few videos posted on these channels that I'm starting now. So that's it, thank you very much and sorry for the long text.☺

    Hi there! Thank you for sharing the video. Would you mind telling me what month were you in Quebec? The reason I’m asking is because, I am planning to go to Quebec city November 27 through December 2, and I was wondering will there be any snow and will the place be decorated for Christmas that early? Let me know your thoughts thank you so much.

      @@anitavukpalaj3168 We went the last weekend in November for the start of the German Christmas Market. We’ve actually gone a couple of years in a row at the same time. One year we had snow, another year we didn’t. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas at that time. I would check the dates of the German Christmas Market as I get the impression that the Old Town gets decorated for that. It’s not unusual for hotels to be decorated for the holidays in time for the US Thanksgiving. It’s such a magical experience!!! Thank you for watching, and have a wonderful holiday.

      Hello! The German Christmas Market is spread throughout Quebec City's old town. www.mnaq.ca/en/ is the market website for more details and for downloading the site map. It looks like it starts on November 21 in 2024, and runs until December 23. It is only open on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I bought a few ceramic miniature incense houses (I'm nuts about these!), a winter hat and gloves, festive food items and stocking stuffers (little craft items that make great gifts). I absolutely love the vibe there. So magical. Thank you for watching! Have a lovely autumn. Yaz
