• 2:05
  Thanks
• 2:06
  for
• 2:06

• 2:06

• 2:07
  Hey,
• 2:07
  Jason.
• 2:08
  Hey,
• 2:08
  Zach.
• 2:08
  Okay,
• 2:09
  we're
• 2:09
  going
• 2:10
  to
• 2:10
  start
• 2:10
  with
• 2:10
  you.
• 2:11
  Last
• 2:11
  week
• 2:12
  you
• 2:12
  talked
• 2:12
  about
• 2:13
  your
• 2:13
  old
• 2:13
  home
• 2:14
  state.
• 2:14
  Now
• 2:15
  you're
• 2:15
  going
• 2:15
  to
• 2:15
  talk
• 2:15
  about
• 2:16
  your
• 2:16
  old
• 2:16
  hometown
• 2:17
  of
• 2:18
  Chicago.
• 2:19
  Yeah,
• 2:21
  I
• 2:21
  lived
• 2:21
  there
• 2:21
  many
• 2:22
  years
• 2:22
  before
• 2:23
  I
• 2:23
  worked
• 2:23
  at
• 2:24
  Fromers,
• 2:24
  but
• 2:24
  yes.
• 2:25
  So
• 2:25
  we
• 2:26
  picked
• 2:26
  Chicago
• 2:27
  for
• 2:27
  2026.
• 2:28
  It's
• 2:28
  expected
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  have
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  big
• 2:30
  year,
• 2:30
  primarily
• 2:30
  because
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  Obama
• 2:32
  Presidential
• 2:33
  center
• 2:33
  is
• 2:34
  slated
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  open
• 2:35
  in
• 2:35
  late
• 2:36
  spring
• 2:36
  there.
• 2:37
  And
• 2:37
  it
• 2:37
  is
• 2:38
  a
• 2:38
  big
• 2:38
  deal.
• 2:38
  It's
• 2:39
  a
• 2:39
  19
• 2:40
  acre
• 2:40
  campus
• 2:41
  in
• 2:42
  Jackson
• 2:42
  park,
• 2:42
  which
• 2:43
  is
• 2:43
  a
• 2:43
  park
• 2:43
  on
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  south
• 2:44
  side
• 2:45
  next
• 2:45
  to
• 2:46
  Lake
• 2:46
  Michigan.
• 2:47
  So
• 2:47
  there's
• 2:47
  four
• 2:47
  different
• 2:48
  buildings.
• 2:48
  The
• 2:48
  main
• 2:49
  part
• 2:49
  that
• 2:49
  tourists
• 2:50
  will
• 2:50
  visit
• 2:50
  is
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  Obama
• 2:52
  Museum.
• 2:53
  They're
• 2:53
  calling
• 2:53
  it
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  Obama
• 2:54
  lisk
• 2:55
  because
• 2:56
  it's
• 2:56
  eight
• 2:57
  stories,
• 2:57
  it's
• 2:57
  220ft
• 2:58
  tall.
• 2:59
  It's
• 2:59
  right
• 2:59
  by
• 2:59
  the
• 2:59
  lake.
• 2:59
  If
• 3:00
  you've
• 3:00
  been
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  Chicago,
• 3:00
  you
• 3:01
  know,
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  lakefront
• 3:02
  is
• 3:02
  usually
• 3:02
  very
• 3:02
  like
• 3:02
  open.
• 3:03
  So
• 3:03
  this
• 3:03
  is
• 3:03
  this
• 3:03
  big
• 3:04
  thing
• 3:04
  there.
• 3:05
  Not
• 3:05
  without
• 3:05
  controversy,
• 3:06
  by
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  way,
• 3:06
  that
• 3:06
  that
• 3:07
  has
• 3:07
  blocking
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  lakefront
• 3:09
  in
• 3:09
  that
• 3:09
  part.
• 3:10
  But
• 3:10
  it's
• 3:10
  very
• 3:10
  exciting.
• 3:11
  And
• 3:11
  inside
• 3:12
  it
• 3:13
  sort
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  is
• 3:13
  his
• 3:13
  presidential
• 3:14
  library,
• 3:14
  but
• 3:14
  not
• 3:15
  quite.
• 3:15
  The
• 3:15
  National
• 3:16
  Archives
• 3:16
  are
• 3:16
  not
• 3:16
  involved.
• 3:17
  That's
• 3:17
  another
• 3:17
  whole
• 3:18
  big
• 3:18
  thing.
• 3:18
  But
• 3:19
  there's
• 3:19
  a
• 3:19
  museum
• 3:20
  of
• 3:20
  his
• 3:20
  life
• 3:20
  and
• 3:21
  of
• 3:21
  Michelle
• 3:22
  Obama's
• 3:23
  life
• 3:23
  and
• 3:24
  chances
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  think
• 3:25
  about
• 3:26
  American
• 3:27
  democracy,
• 3:27
  which
• 3:27
  is
• 3:28
  always
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  cause
• 3:29
  important
• 3:29
  to
• 3:30
  Obama,
• 3:30
  his
• 3:31
  presidency.
• 3:32
  There
• 3:32
  are
• 3:32
  films,
• 3:33
  there's
• 3:33
  art
• 3:33
  installations,
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  lot
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  great
• 3:35
  artists.
• 3:35
  Maya
• 3:35
  Lin,
• 3:36
  for
• 3:36
  example,
• 3:37
  has
• 3:37
  worked
• 3:37
  there.
• 3:38
  There's
• 3:38
  an
• 3:38
  Oval
• 3:38
  Office
• 3:39
  replica
• 3:39
  which
• 3:39
  every
• 3:39
  presidential
• 3:40
  library
• 3:40
  has
• 3:40
  for
• 3:41
  some
• 3:41
  reason.
• 3:41
  There's
• 3:41
  like
• 3:42
  little
• 3:42
  dioramas
• 3:43
  of
• 3:43
  big
• 3:44
  White
• 3:44
  House
• 3:44
  events
• 3:44
  from
• 3:45
  when
• 3:45
  Obama
• 3:45
  was
• 3:45
  president.
• 3:46
  There's
• 3:46
  a
• 3:46
  collection
• 3:47
  of
• 3:47
  Michelle's
• 3:48
  dresses
• 3:48
  that
• 3:48
  she
• 3:48
  wore
• 3:48
  as
• 3:49
  first
• 3:49
  lady.
• 3:49
  There's
• 3:50
  this
• 3:50
  great
• 3:50
  observation
• 3:51
  deck
• 3:51
  at
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  top
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  overlooks
• 3:52
  Hyde
• 3:52
  Park.
• 3:53
  And
• 3:53
  I
• 3:54
  think
• 3:54
  you
• 3:54
  can
• 3:54
  see
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  lake
• 3:55
  or
• 3:55
  maybe
• 3:55
  it
• 3:55
  goes
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  points
• 3:56
  in
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  other
• 3:56
  direction.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:57
  most
• 3:57
  importantly,
• 3:58
  there's
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  basketball
• 3:58
  court
• 3:58
  that's
• 3:59
  NBA
• 3:59
  regulation
• 4:00
  size
• 4:00
  because
• 4:00
  Obama
• 4:01
  was
• 4:01
  a
• 4:01
  big
• 4:01
  basketball
• 4:01
  fan.
• 4:02
  Continues
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  be.
• 4:03
  And
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  center
• 4:04
  also
• 4:05
  has
• 4:05
  a
• 4:05
  bunch
• 4:05
  of
• 4:06
  programming
• 4:06
  and
• 4:07
  really
• 4:07
  trying
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  be
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  part
• 4:08
  of
• 4:08
  the
• 4:09
  community.
• 4:09
  So
• 4:09
  there's.
• 4:10
  There's
• 4:10
  actually
• 4:10
  a
• 4:10
  Chicago
• 4:11
  Public
• 4:11
  Library
• 4:11
  branch
• 4:12
  there.
• 4:12
  There's
• 4:12
  free
• 4:12
  meeting
• 4:13
  space
• 4:13
  and
• 4:14
  everything,
• 4:14
  except
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  museum
• 4:15
  is
• 4:15
  free
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  public,
• 4:16
  by
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  way.
• 4:17
  So
• 4:18
  it's
• 4:18
  gonna
• 4:18
  be
• 4:18
  a
• 4:19
  big
• 4:19
  deal
• 4:19
  in
• 4:19
  Chicago.
• 4:20
  And
• 4:20
  there's
• 4:20
  some
• 4:20
  other
• 4:21
  stuff
• 4:21
  happening
• 4:21
  in
• 4:21
  Chicago
• 4:22
  we
• 4:22
  can
• 4:22
  talk
• 4:22
  about
• 4:22
  if
• 4:23
  you
• 4:23
  want.
• 4:23
  But
• 4:23
  let's
• 4:23
  talk
• 4:23
  about
• 4:23
  Obama
• 4:24
  first.
• 4:25
  Yeah.
• 4:25
  No,
• 4:25
  the
• 4:26
  New
• 4:26
  York
• 4:26
  Times
• 4:26
  had
• 4:26
  a
• 4:27
  really
• 4:27
  interesting
• 4:28
  article
• 4:29
  about
• 4:29
  the
• 4:30
  fact
• 4:30
  that
• 4:30
  this
• 4:30
  was
• 4:31
  built
• 4:31
  not
• 4:32
  to
• 4:32
  be
• 4:32
  the
• 4:33
  usual
• 4:33
  presidential
• 4:34
  library.
• 4:35
  They're
• 4:36
  hoping
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  this
• 4:37
  will
• 4:37
  really,
• 4:37
  in
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  certain
• 4:38
  way,
• 4:39
  reshape
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  community
• 4:41
  and
• 4:41
  give
• 4:42
  them
• 4:42
  spaces
• 4:43
  for
• 4:43
  special
• 4:44
  programs,
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  educate
• 4:46
  themselves,
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  build
• 4:47
  democracy,
• 4:48
  to
• 4:49
  gather
• 4:49
  in
• 4:50
  a
• 4:50
  peaceful
• 4:50
  way.
• 4:51
  It
• 4:52
  just
• 4:52
  sounds
• 4:53
  incredible.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:54
  the
• 4:55
  renderings
• 4:55
  that
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  New
• 4:56
  York
• 4:57
  Times
• 4:57
  had,
• 4:58
  showing
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  buildings,
• 5:00
  they
• 5:00
  really
• 5:00
  fit
• 5:01
  in.
• 5:01
  I
• 5:01
  mean,
• 5:01
  Chicago
• 5:02
  is
• 5:02
  the
• 5:03
  city
• 5:03
  of
• 5:04
  these
• 5:05
  spellbinding,
• 5:06
  massive,
• 5:07
  often
• 5:08
  very
• 5:08
  unique
• 5:08
  skyscrapers.
• 5:10
  And
• 5:10
  this
• 5:10
  is
• 5:10
  going
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  be
• 5:11
  another
• 5:11
  one
• 5:11
  of
• 5:11
  those.
• 5:12
  So
• 5:12
  it
• 5:13
  looks
• 5:13
  like
• 5:13
  a.
• 5:13
  It
• 5:13
  looks
• 5:14
  like
• 5:14
  a
• 5:14
  home
• 5:14
  run
• 5:14
  to
• 5:15
  me.
• 5:15
  Yeah,
• 5:15
  it's
• 5:15
  a
• 5:15
  beautiful
• 5:16
  building.
• 5:16
  It's
• 5:16
  concrete.
• 5:17
  It's
• 5:17
  supposed
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  look
• 5:18
  like
• 5:18
  four
• 5:18
  hands
• 5:19
  joined
• 5:19
  together
• 5:19
  and,
• 5:20
  like
• 5:20
  pointing
• 5:20
  upwards.
• 5:21
  I
• 5:21
  mean,
• 5:21
  it's
• 5:21
  kind
• 5:21
  of.
• 5:21
  It's
• 5:22
  very
• 5:22
  abstract.
• 5:23
  Has
• 5:24
  words
• 5:24
  from
• 5:25
  Obama's
• 5:25
  speech
• 5:26
  at
• 5:26
  the
• 5:26
  50th
• 5:26
  anniversary
• 5:27
  of
• 5:28
  the
• 5:28
  Selma
• 5:29

  march
• 5:30
  etched
• 5:30
  into

  the

  top,
• 5:31
  like
• 5:31
  five
• 5:32
  stories,
• 5:32
  five
• 5:32
  stories
• 5:33
  worth
• 5:33
  of
• 5:33
  it.
• 5:34
  So
• 5:34
  it
• 5:34
  is
• 5:35
  pretty
• 5:35
  incredible
• 5:36
  architecturally.
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  cannot
• 5:37
  remember
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  name
• 5:38
  of
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  firm
• 5:38
  that
• 5:38
  designed
• 5:39
  it,
• 5:39
  but
• 5:39
  it's
• 5:39
  gonna
• 5:40
  be
• 5:40
  pretty
• 5:40
  spectacular.
• 5:41
  Yeah.
• 5:42
  Hyde
• 5:42
  park
• 5:42
  is
• 5:43
  right
• 5:43
  there
• 5:43
  where
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  University
• 5:44
  of
• 5:44
  Chicago
• 5:44
  is.
• 5:44
  You
• 5:45
  can
• 5:45
  swing
• 5:45
  by
• 5:45
  where
• 5:46
  Obama
• 5:46
  lived
• 5:46
  in
• 5:46
  Kenmore.
• 5:47
  That's
• 5:48
  nearby
• 5:49
  his
• 5:49
  house
• 5:50
  open
• 5:50
  to
• 5:51
  visitors.
• 5:51
  No,
• 5:52
  it's
• 5:52
  not.
• 5:52
  But
• 5:52
  you
• 5:52
  can
• 5:53
  go
• 5:53
  by
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  neighborhood
• 5:53
  and
• 5:54

  Okay.

  And
• 5:55
  what
• 5:55
  else
• 5:56
  is
• 5:56
  happening
• 5:56
  in
• 5:57
  Chicago?
• 5:57
  Why
• 5:57
  else
• 5:58
  did
• 5:58
  it
• 5:58
  make
• 5:58
  the

  There's

  always

  that

  gives
• 6:15
  you
• 6:15
  a

  chance
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  really

  the

  You

  can
• 6:20
  go
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  Green
• 6:21
  Mill,
• 6:21

  Any

  Lots

  on

  the
• 6:27
  south
• 6:27
  side
• 6:27
  as
• 6:28
  well.
• 6:28
  And
• 6:28
  then
• 6:28
  you
• 6:29
  mentioned
• 6:29
  architecture.
• 6:30
  I
• 6:30
  know
• 6:31
  New
• 6:31
  Yorkers
• 6:31
  get
• 6:32
  mad
• 6:32
  about
• 6:32
  this,
• 6:32
  but
• 6:32
  Chicago
• 6:33
  says
• 6:33
  they
• 6:33
  invented
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  skyscraper
• 6:35
  after
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  Great
• 6:35
  Fire.
• 6:35
  It's
• 6:36
  a
• 6:36
  lie.
• 6:37
  When
• 6:37
  they
• 6:37
  had
• 6:37
  to
• 6:38
  rebuild
• 6:38
  the
• 6:39
  city
• 6:39
  after
• 6:39
  the
• 6:39
  Great
• 6:40
  Fire
• 6:40
  in

  the.
• 6:40
  Was
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  in
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  1870s.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  so

  they
• 6:43

  biennial
• 6:44
  Architecture
• 6:45
  Biennial
• 6:45

  it's
• 6:46
  going
• 6:47
  on
• 6:47
  now
• 6:47
  through
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48

  And

  A
• 7:58
  lot
• 7:58
  going
• 7:58
  on
• 7:58
  in
• 7:58
  Chicago,
• 7:59
  as.
• 7:59
  Always,
• 8:00
  you
• 8:00
  know,
• 8:01
  And
• 8:01
  I
• 8:01
  feel
• 8:02
  like
• 8:02
  we
• 8:02
  have
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  say
• 8:03
  this.
• 8:04
  My
• 8:04
  daughter
• 8:05
  lives
• 8:05
  in
• 8:05
  Chicago
• 8:06
  and
• 8:06
  I
• 8:06
  called
• 8:07
  her
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  other
• 8:07
  day
• 8:08
  and
• 8:08
  asked
• 8:08
  her,
• 8:09
  have
• 8:09
  you
• 8:09
  seen
• 8:10
  any
• 8:12
  ugliness?
• 8:13
  Have
• 8:13
  you
• 8:13
  seen
• 8:14
  ice
• 8:14
  raids?
• 8:15
  Have
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  felt
• 8:16
  endangered?
• 8:17
  And
• 8:17
  she
• 8:17
  said,
• 8:18
  no,
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  haven't
• 8:19
  seen
• 8:20
  anything.
• 8:21
  You
• 8:21
  know,
• 8:21
  she
• 8:21
  lives
• 8:22
  in
• 8:22
  an
• 8:22
  area
• 8:22
  called
• 8:23
  river
• 8:23
  north,
• 8:24
  which
• 8:24
  is
• 8:24
  a
• 8:24
  very
• 8:24
  bougie
• 8:25
  area.
• 8:26
  And
• 8:26
  she
• 8:26
  said,
• 8:27
  something
• 8:27
  happened
• 8:27
  at
• 8:28
  a
• 8:28
  place
• 8:28
  I
• 8:28
  go
• 8:28
  to
• 8:28
  often,
• 8:29
  but
• 8:29
  it
• 8:29
  didn't
• 8:29
  happen
• 8:30
  when
• 8:30
  I
• 8:30
  was
• 8:30
  there.
• 8:31
  So
• 8:32
  despite
• 8:32
  what
• 8:32
  you
• 8:33
  see
• 8:34
  on
• 8:34
  social
• 8:34
  media,
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  entire
• 8:36
  city
• 8:36
  is
• 8:37
  not
• 8:37
  being
• 8:37
  raided
• 8:38
  at
• 8:38
  all
• 8:39
  times.
• 8:39
  It's
• 8:40
  not
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  war
• 8:40
  zone
• 8:40
  the
• 8:41
  way
• 8:41
  it's
• 8:41
  depicted.
• 8:42
  Right.
• 8:42
  It
• 8:43
  looks
• 8:43
  like
• 8:43
  a
• 8:43
  war
• 8:43
  zone
• 8:44
  from
• 8:44
  those
• 8:44
  videos,
• 8:45
  but
• 8:45
  I
• 8:45
  don't
• 8:45
  think
• 8:45
  that's
• 8:46
  at
• 8:46
  all
• 8:46
  fair.
• 8:47
  And
• 8:47
  from
• 8:47
  what
• 8:48
  I
• 8:48
  hear
• 8:48
  from
• 8:48
  everybody
• 8:49
  who's
• 8:49
  there,
• 8:49
  it
• 8:50
  doesn't
• 8:50
  feel
• 8:50
  that
• 8:51
  way,
• 8:51
  except
• 8:51
  unfortunately
• 8:53
  when
• 8:53
  you're
• 8:54
  confronted
• 8:55
  with
• 8:55
  it
• 8:56
  right
• 8:56
  where
• 8:56
  it's
• 8:56
  happening.
• 8:57
  Although
• 8:57
  I
• 8:57
  will
• 8:58
  say
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  ICE
• 8:59
  raids
• 8:59
  are
• 8:59
  definitely
• 8:59
  happening.
• 9:00
  That
• 9:00
  is
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  thing
• 9:01
  that's
• 9:01
  occurring.
• 9:01
  I
• 9:02
  was
• 9:02
  there
• 9:02
  in
• 9:02
  October
• 9:02
  for
• 9:02
  a
• 9:03
  wedding.
• 9:03
  My
• 9:03
  husband
• 9:04
  is.
• 9:04
  That's
• 9:04
  his
• 9:04
  hometown
• 9:04
  and
• 9:05
  I
• 9:05
  went
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  college
• 9:05
  there
• 9:05
  and
• 9:05
  lived
• 9:06
  there
• 9:06
  many
• 9:06
  years.
• 9:06
  But
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  way
• 9:08
  I
• 9:08
  did
• 9:09
  sense
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  certain
• 9:10
  anger
• 9:10
  on
• 9:11
  the
• 9:11
  part
• 9:11
  of
• 9:11
  Chicagoans
• 9:12
  towards.
• 9:12
  There
• 9:12
  were
• 9:12
  a
• 9:13
  lot
• 9:13
  of
• 9:13
  signs
• 9:13
  I
• 9:13
  saw
• 9:13
  on
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  north
• 9:14
  side
• 9:14
  that
• 9:15
  were
• 9:15
  like,
• 9:15
  keep
• 9:16
  your
• 9:16
  hands
• 9:16
  off
• 9:16
  Chicago.
• 9:17
  But
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  mean,
• 9:17
  Chicago
• 9:18
  is
• 9:18
  very
• 9:18
  loyal
• 9:19
  to
• 9:19
  Chicago.
• 9:19
  Chicagoans
• 9:20
  are
• 9:20
  so
• 9:21
  there.
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  did
• 9:22
  sense
• 9:22
  a
• 9:22
  lot
• 9:22
  of
• 9:23
  resentment
• 9:24
  for
• 9:24
  how
• 9:24
  they're
• 9:25
  treated
• 9:26
  by
• 9:27
  righteous
• 9:27
  anger.
• 9:28
  They
• 9:28
  should
• 9:28
  be.
• 9:28
  Righteous
• 9:28
  anger.
• 9:29
  They
• 9:29
  should
• 9:29
  be.
• 9:30
  They
• 9:30
  will
• 9:30
  fight
• 9:30
  back
• 9:30
  and
• 9:31
  defend
• 9:31
  Chicago.
• 9:32
  Believe
• 9:32
  it.
• 9:33
  So
• 9:33
  I
• 9:34
  think
• 9:34
  it's
• 9:34
  a
• 9:34
  great
• 9:35
  time
• 9:35
  for
• 9:35
  tourists
• 9:35
  to
• 9:36
  come
• 9:36
  because
• 9:36
  it
• 9:36
  has
• 9:36
  been
• 9:37
  unfairly
• 9:38
  maligned,
• 9:39
  I'd
• 9:39
  say
• 9:39
  in
• 9:40
  quarters
• 9:40
  of
• 9:41
  the
• 9:41
  media.
• 9:41
  And
• 9:43
  it
• 9:43
  is
• 9:43
  a
• 9:43
  great
• 9:43
  opportunity
• 9:44
  to
• 9:44
  come
• 9:44
  and
• 9:45
  see
• 9:45
  how
• 9:45
  great
• 9:45
  the
• 9:45
  city
• 9:46
  is
• 9:47
  and
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  experience
• 9:48
  it
• 9:48
  for
• 9:48
  yourself.
• 9:48
  All
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  wonderful
• 9:49
  things
• 9:49
  it
• 9:49
  has
• 9:49
  to
• 9:50
  offer.
• 9:50
  Yeah,
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  new
• 9:51
  things
• 9:52
  and
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  old
• 9:53
  things.
• 9:53
  I
• 9:53
  mean,
• 9:53
  Chicago
• 9:54
  has
• 9:54
  more
• 9:54
  Michelin
• 9:55
  starred
• 9:55
  restaurants
• 9:56
  than
• 9:56
  New
• 9:56
  York.
• 9:57
  Chicago
• 9:58
  has
• 9:58
  beaches
• 9:59
  that
• 9:59
  you
• 9:59
  can
• 9:59
  hang
• 9:59
  out
• 9:59
  on
• 10:00
  in
• 10:00
  the
• 10:00
  summer.
• 10:01
  Chicago
• 10:02
  has
• 10:02
  some
• 10:02
  of
• 10:02
  the
• 10:02
  most
• 10:03
  extraordinary
• 10:04
  museums,
• 10:04
  not
• 10:05
  only
• 10:05
  in
• 10:05
  the
• 10:05
  United
• 10:06
  States,
• 10:06
  but
• 10:06
  in
• 10:06
  the
• 10:07
  world
• 10:07
  with
• 10:07
  masterpieces
• 10:08
  you
• 10:08
  won't
• 10:09
  see
• 10:09
  anywhere,
• 10:09
  like
• 10:10
  La
• 10:11
  Grande
• 10:11
  Jatte
• 10:12
  by
• 10:12
  Seurat.
• 10:12
  I
• 10:13
  mean,
• 10:13
  there's
• 10:13
  just
• 10:14
  the
• 10:14
  theater
• 10:15
  scene.
• 10:15
  Performing
• 10:15
  arts
• 10:16
  is
• 10:16
  incredible.
• 10:16
  Storefront
• 10:17
  theater.
• 10:18
  Yeah.
• 10:19
  So
• 10:19
  go
• 10:19
  Chicago.
• 10:20
  Go
• 10:20
  to
• 10:20
  Chicago.
• 10:21
  I
• 10:21
  should
• 10:22
  say,
• 10:22
  you
• 10:22
  know,
• 10:22
  don't,
• 10:23
  don't
• 10:23
  avoid
• 10:23
  it.
• 10:23
  It's
• 10:24
  a,
• 10:24
  it's
• 10:24
  a
• 10:24
  great,
• 10:25
  great
• 10:25
  city
• 10:25
  and
• 10:26
  it
• 10:26
  will
• 10:26
  reward
• 10:26
  you,
• 10:27
  whatever
• 10:28
  your
• 10:28
  political
• 10:28
  affiliations.
• 10:30
  You
• 10:30
  will
• 10:30
  enjoy
• 10:31
  yourself
• 10:32
  absolutely.
• 10:32
  No
• 10:32
  matter
• 10:33
  what
• 10:33
  the
• 10:33
  year
• 10:33
  is.
• 10:33
  I
• 10:33
  want
• 10:34
  to
• 10:34
  put
• 10:34
  it
• 10:34
  on
• 10:34
  best
• 10:34
  places,
• 10:35
  but
• 10:35
  it's
• 10:35
  just
• 10:35
  this
• 10:36
  year
• 10:36
  we
• 10:36
  have
• 10:36
  so
• 10:36
  many
• 10:36
  more
• 10:37
  reasons.
• 10:37
  Yes,
• 10:38
  absolutely.
• 10:38
  Okay,
• 10:39
  let's
• 10:39
  talk
• 10:39
  about
• 10:39
  another
• 10:40
  great
• 10:40
  city,
• 10:41
  the
• 10:42
  city
• 10:42
  of
• 10:43
  Vienna.
• 10:44
  Vienna
• 10:46
  controlled
• 10:47
  most
• 10:48
  of
• 10:48
  Europe
• 10:49
  from
• 10:49
  about
• 10:49
  1273
• 10:51
  to
• 10:51
  1918,
• 10:52
  because
• 10:52
  this
• 10:52
  is
• 10:53
  where
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  Habsburg
• 10:54
  dynasty
• 10:55
  was.
• 10:55
  And
• 10:56
  so
• 10:56
  when
• 10:56
  you
• 10:56
  go
• 10:57
  to
• 10:57
  Vienna,
• 10:58
  it's
• 10:58
  palace
• 10:59
  after
• 11:00
  palace
• 11:01
  after
• 11:01
  opera
• 11:02
  house
• 11:02
  after
• 11:03
  ancient
• 11:04
  theater
• 11:04
  where
• 11:05
  horses
• 11:05
  dance
• 11:07
  after
• 11:09
  extraordinary
• 11:10
  cityscapes
• 11:12
  filled
• 11:12
  with
• 11:13
  ancient
• 11:13
  mansions.
• 11:14
  But
• 11:14
  things
• 11:15
  change
• 11:16
  in
• 11:16
  Vienna.
• 11:17
  And
• 11:17
  there's
• 11:18
  a
• 11:18
  lot
• 11:18
  going
• 11:18
  on
• 11:19
  in
• 11:19
  this
• 11:19
  year
• 11:20
  in
• 11:20
  particular,
• 11:21
  which
• 11:21
  is
• 11:21
  why
• 11:21
  we're
• 11:22
  saying
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  go
• 11:22
  there.
• 11:22
  For
• 11:23
  example,
• 11:23
  the
• 11:23
  national
• 11:24
  performance
• 11:25
  house
• 11:25
  of
• 11:25
  all
• 11:25
  of
• 11:26
  Austria,
• 11:26
  the
• 11:27
  Berg
• 11:27
  theater,
• 11:28
  is
• 11:28
  turning
• 11:29
  250.
• 11:30
  And
• 11:31
  so
• 11:31
  it's
• 11:31
  going
• 11:31
  to
• 11:31
  have
• 11:32
  a
• 11:32
  whole
• 11:32
  slew
• 11:33
  of
• 11:33
  special
• 11:34
  shows,
• 11:35
  guided
• 11:35
  tours,
• 11:37
  anniversary
• 11:37
  exhibits.
• 11:39
  You
• 11:39
  know,
• 11:39
  it's
• 11:40
  decorated
• 11:41
  with
• 11:41
  paintings
• 11:42
  by
• 11:42
  Gustav
• 11:43
  Klimt
• 11:43
  himself,
• 11:44
  gorgeous
• 11:45
  ceiling
• 11:46
  paintings.
• 11:46
  You'll
• 11:47
  be
• 11:47
  able
• 11:47
  to
• 11:47
  see
• 11:47
  those
• 11:48
  on
• 11:48
  the
• 11:48
  tour
• 11:49
  as
• 11:49
  well.
• 11:50
  They
• 11:50
  have
• 11:50
  a
• 11:50
  very
• 11:50
  important
• 11:51
  museum,
• 11:51
  the
• 11:52
  Museum
• 11:52
  of
• 11:53
  Folk
• 11:53
  Life
• 11:54
  and
• 11:54
  Folk
• 11:54
  Art,
• 11:55
  and
• 11:55
  it's
• 11:55
  been
• 11:56
  closed
• 11:56
  forever.
• 11:58
  It's
• 11:58
  finally
• 11:59
  reopening.
• 11:59
  It
• 11:59
  was
• 12:00
  being
• 12:00
  renovated,
• 12:01
  so
• 12:01
  it's
• 12:02
  going
• 12:02
  to
• 12:02
  be
• 12:02
  reopening.
• 12:03
  They
• 12:03
  have
• 12:04
  Central
• 12:04
  Europe's
• 12:05
  largest
• 12:06
  Pride
• 12:06
  Parade
• 12:07
  that
• 12:07
  will
• 12:07
  be
• 12:07
  happening
• 12:08
  for
• 12:08
  the
• 12:08
  30th
• 12:09
  time
• 12:09
  this
• 12:10
  summer.
• 12:11
  And
• 12:12
  there's
• 12:12
  a
• 12:13
  new,
• 12:14
  highly
• 12:14
  entertaining
• 12:16
  museum
• 12:17
  about
• 12:17
  Johann
• 12:18
  Strauss,
• 12:19
  who
• 12:19
  was
• 12:20
  the
• 12:20
  king
• 12:21
  of
• 12:21
  the
• 12:21
  waltz.
• 12:22
  It's
• 12:22
  his
• 12:22
  200th
• 12:23
  birthday
• 12:23
  in
• 12:24
  2025
• 12:25
  and
• 12:25
  there's
• 12:25
  going
• 12:26
  to
• 12:26
  be
• 12:26
  a
• 12:26
  permanent
• 12:27
  exhibit
• 12:27
  about
• 12:28
  him.
• 12:28
  It's
• 12:29
  a
• 12:29
  multimedia
• 12:30
  experience
• 12:30
  that
• 12:30
  takes
• 12:31
  you
• 12:31
  in
• 12:31
  a
• 12:32
  seven
• 12:32
  act
• 12:33
  interactive
• 12:33
  journey
• 12:34
  through
• 12:34
  his
• 12:35
  life.
• 12:35
  And
• 12:36
  it
• 12:36
  should
• 12:36
  just
• 12:37
  be
• 12:37
  a
• 12:37
  lot
• 12:37
  of
• 12:38
  fun.
• 12:38
  I
• 12:39
  was
• 12:39
  in
• 12:39
  Vienna.
• 12:40
  Gosh,
• 12:41
  I
• 12:41
  guess
• 12:41
  it
• 12:41
  was
• 12:41
  two
• 12:42
  years
• 12:42
  ago
• 12:42
  now
• 12:43
  and
• 12:44
  it
• 12:44
  was
• 12:44
  my
• 12:44
  first
• 12:45
  time,
• 12:45
  believe
• 12:45
  it
• 12:46
  or
• 12:46
  not.
• 12:46
  And
• 12:47
  I
• 12:47
  absolutely
• 12:48
  fell
• 12:48
  in
• 12:48
  love
• 12:48
  with
• 12:49
  the
• 12:49
  city
• 12:49
  because
• 12:49
  not
• 12:50
  only
• 12:50
  is
• 12:50
  it
• 12:50
  drop
• 12:51
  dead
• 12:51
  gorgeous,
• 12:52
  I
• 12:52
  mean,
• 12:52
  everywhere
• 12:53
  you
• 12:53
  look
• 12:54
  is
• 12:54
  another
• 12:55
  magnificent
• 12:56
  building
• 12:56
  or
• 12:57
  a
• 12:57
  museum
• 12:58
  filled
• 12:58
  with
• 12:58
  the
• 12:59
  most
• 12:59
  moving,
• 13:01
  joyous
• 13:01
  art.
• 13:02
  Joyous
• 13:03
  or
• 13:03
  tragic
• 13:04
  art,
• 13:04
  depends
• 13:05
  on
• 13:05
  who
• 13:05
  you're
• 13:05
  looking
• 13:05
  at.
• 13:06
  But
• 13:06
  also
• 13:07
  it's
• 13:07
  a
• 13:07
  place
• 13:07
  where
• 13:08
  I
• 13:08
  feel
• 13:08
  like
• 13:08
  they've
• 13:09
  got
• 13:09
  what
• 13:10
  leading
• 13:11
  a
• 13:11
  civilized
• 13:12
  life
• 13:13
  means.
• 13:13
  They've
• 13:14
  got
• 13:14
  that
• 13:14
  down
• 13:15
  pat.
• 13:16
  As
• 13:16
  I
• 13:16
  was
• 13:16
  wandering
• 13:17
  through
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  city,
• 13:18
  I
• 13:18
  kept
• 13:18
  coming
• 13:19
  upon
• 13:19
  these
• 13:20
  outdoor
• 13:20
  libraries
• 13:21
  where
• 13:22
  they
• 13:22
  would
• 13:22
  have
• 13:23
  these
• 13:23
  shelves
• 13:23
  of
• 13:24
  books
• 13:24
  and
• 13:24
  beanbags
• 13:25
  on
• 13:26
  the
• 13:26
  sidewalk
• 13:27
  and
• 13:27
  parents
• 13:28
  were
• 13:28
  reading
• 13:29
  to
• 13:29
  their
• 13:29
  children
• 13:30
  in
• 13:30
  these
• 13:30
  beanbags
• 13:31
  and
• 13:31
  other
• 13:31
  people
• 13:32
  were
• 13:32
  borrowing
• 13:33
  the
• 13:33
  books.
• 13:34
  And
• 13:34
  then
• 13:34
  I
• 13:34
  found
• 13:35
  there
• 13:35
  were
• 13:35
  these
• 13:36
  festivals
• 13:36
  going
• 13:37
  on
• 13:37
  when
• 13:37
  I
• 13:37
  was
• 13:37
  there.
• 13:38
  I
• 13:38
  was
• 13:38
  there
• 13:38
  in
• 13:38
  the
• 13:38
  summertime
• 13:39
  and
• 13:39
  I
• 13:40
  went
• 13:40
  to
• 13:40
  one
• 13:41
  not
• 13:41
  knowing
• 13:42
  what
• 13:42
  it
• 13:42
  was.
• 13:42
  I
• 13:43
  just
• 13:43
  saw
• 13:43
  it
• 13:43
  announced
• 13:44
  and
• 13:45
  it
• 13:45
  turned
• 13:45
  out
• 13:45
  to
• 13:45
  be
• 13:45
  a
• 13:46
  book
• 13:46
  reading
• 13:46
  in
• 13:46
  German.
• 13:47
  So
• 13:48
  that
• 13:48
  way
• 13:48
  it
• 13:48
  wasn't
• 13:49
  that
• 13:49
  interesting
• 13:49
  for
• 13:50
  me.
• 13:50
  But
• 13:50
  it
• 13:50
  was
• 13:50
  also
• 13:51
  incredibly
• 13:52
  interesting
• 13:52
  because
• 13:53
  about
• 13:53
  a
• 13:53
  thousand
• 13:54
  people
• 13:55
  showed
• 13:55
  up
• 13:56
  to
• 13:56
  hear
• 13:57
  an
• 13:57
  author
• 13:58
  discuss
• 13:58
  his
• 13:58
  work.
• 14:00
  And
• 14:00
  I
• 14:01
  just,
• 14:02
  I
• 14:02
  think
• 14:02
  it's
• 14:02
  the
• 14:03
  only
• 14:03
  place
• 14:03
  I've
• 14:03
  ever
• 14:04
  gone
• 14:04
  where
• 14:04
  I've
• 14:05
  thought
• 14:05
  if
• 14:05
  I
• 14:06
  were
• 14:06
  ever
• 14:06
  to
• 14:07
  leave
• 14:07
  New
• 14:07
  York
• 14:07
  City,
• 14:08
  this
• 14:09
  is
• 14:09
  where
• 14:09
  I
• 14:09
  would
• 14:09
  go.
• 14:10
  Oh,
• 14:10
  wow.
• 14:10
  It
• 14:11
  seems
• 14:11
  like
• 14:11
  a
• 14:11
  place
• 14:12
  where
• 14:12
  they
• 14:12
  really
• 14:13
  know
• 14:13
  how
• 14:14
  to
• 14:14
  live
• 14:14
  life
• 14:15
  well
• 14:15
  and
• 14:15
  they're
• 14:16
  incredibly
• 14:17
  civilized.
• 14:17
  And
• 14:18
  I
• 14:18
  just
• 14:18
  fell
• 14:18
  in
• 14:19
  love
• 14:19
  with
• 14:19
  the
• 14:19
  place.
• 14:19
  And
• 14:19
  so
• 14:20
  with
• 14:20
  all
• 14:20
  these
• 14:20
  special
• 14:21
  things
• 14:21
  happening,
• 14:21
  this
• 14:22
  is
• 14:22
  the
• 14:22
  year
• 14:22
  to
• 14:22
  go
• 14:23
  to
• 14:23
  Vienna.
• 14:23
  When
• 14:24
  I
• 14:24
  went
• 14:24
  to
• 14:24
  Vienna,
• 14:25
  I
• 14:25
  thought
• 14:25
  that
• 14:25
  was.
• 14:26
  I
• 14:26
  agree
• 14:27
  100%.
• 14:27
  Like
• 14:28
  the
• 14:28
  cafe
• 14:29
  culture.
• 14:29
  They
• 14:29
  just
• 14:29
  know
• 14:30
  how
• 14:30
  to
• 14:30
  live.
• 14:30
  Yeah.
• 14:31
  Are
• 14:31
  you
• 14:31
  on
• 14:31
  board
• 14:32
  with
• 14:32
  us,
• 14:32
  Jason,
• 14:33
  on
• 14:33
  Vienna?
• 14:34
  I
• 14:34
  love
• 14:34
  the
• 14:34
  way
• 14:34
  it's
• 14:35
  always
• 14:35
  set
• 14:36
  Trends.
• 14:36
  You
• 14:37
  know,
• 14:37
  20
• 14:37
  something
• 14:38
  years
• 14:38
  ago,
• 14:38
  it
• 14:38
  was
• 14:38
  one
• 14:38
  of
• 14:38
  the
• 14:39
  first
• 14:39
  cities
• 14:39
  in
• 14:39
  Europe
• 14:39
  to
• 14:39
  take
• 14:40
  these
• 14:40
  old
• 14:40
  disused
• 14:40
  gas
• 14:41
  tanks
• 14:42
  that
• 14:42
  are
• 14:42
  on
• 14:42
  the
• 14:42
  outskirts
• 14:43
  of
• 14:43
  so
• 14:43
  many
• 14:44
  industrial
• 14:44
  cities
• 14:44
  and
• 14:45
  convert
• 14:45
  them
• 14:45
  to
• 14:45
  places
• 14:46
  you'd
• 14:46
  really
• 14:46
  want
• 14:46
  to
• 14:47
  live.
• 14:47
  It
• 14:48
  was
• 14:48
  one
• 14:48
  of
• 14:48
  the
• 14:48
  first
• 14:48
  to
• 14:48
  do
• 14:49
  that.
• 14:49
  Now
• 14:49
  a
• 14:49
  lot
• 14:49
  of
• 14:49
  Europe
• 14:50
  imitates
• 14:50
  what
• 14:51
  Vienna
• 14:51
  started.
• 14:51
  And
• 14:52
  of
• 14:52
  course,
• 14:52
  I
• 14:52
  think
• 14:52
  my
• 14:53
  favorite
• 14:53
  movie
• 14:54
  about
• 14:54
  traveling
• 14:55
  is
• 14:56
  called
• 14:56
  Before
• 14:57
  Sunrise
• 14:57
  with
• 14:58
  Ethan
• 14:58
  Hawke
• 14:58
  and
• 14:58
  Julie
• 14:59
  Delpy,
• 14:59
  1994.
• 15:00
  It's
• 15:01
  essentially
• 15:01
  two
• 15:01
  people
• 15:02
  meet,
• 15:02
  backpackers
• 15:03
  meet,
• 15:03
  and
• 15:03
  they
• 15:03
  just
• 15:04
  walk
• 15:04
  around
• 15:04
  Vienna
• 15:05
  and
• 15:05
  gradually
• 15:05
  fall
• 15:06
  in
• 15:06
  love
• 15:06
  over
• 15:06
  the
• 15:06
  course
• 15:06
  of
• 15:06
  the
• 15:07
  movie.
• 15:07
  So
• 15:08
  I
• 15:08
  have
• 15:08
  lots
• 15:08
  of
• 15:09
  lovely
• 15:09
  connections
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  Vienna
• 15:10
  and
• 15:10
  all
• 15:11
  the
• 15:11
  ways
• 15:11
  that
• 15:11
  you
• 15:11
  can
• 15:11
  celebrate
• 15:12
  it.
• 15:12
  And
• 15:12
  I
• 15:12
  think
• 15:12
  it's
• 15:12
  a
• 15:12
  great
• 15:13
  idea
• 15:13
  to
• 15:13
  put
• 15:13
  it
• 15:13
  back
• 15:13
  on
• 15:14
  the
• 15:14
  list
• 15:14
  because
• 15:14
  people
• 15:15
  need
• 15:15
  to
• 15:15
  discover
• 15:15
  it.
• 15:16
  After
• 15:16
  all,
• 15:16
  it
• 15:16
  took
• 15:16
  you
• 15:16
  until
• 15:16
  two
• 15:17
  years
• 15:17
  ago.
• 15:17
  Pauline.
• 15:18
  I
• 15:18
  know.
• 15:18
  I
• 15:18
  couldn't
• 15:19
  believe
• 15:19
  I
• 15:19
  hadn't
• 15:19
  been
• 15:20
  there
• 15:20
  before.
• 15:20
  I
• 15:20
  can't
• 15:21
  wait
• 15:21
  to
• 15:21
  go
• 15:21
  back
• 15:21
  and
• 15:22
  show
• 15:22
  it
• 15:22
  to
• 15:22
  my
• 15:22
  husband
• 15:23
  and
• 15:23
  my
• 15:23
  kids.
• 15:23
  I
• 15:24
  just
• 15:24
  loved
• 15:24
  it.
• 15:25
  All
• 15:25
  right,
• 15:25
  another
• 15:26
  great
• 15:27
  city.
• 15:28
  We're
• 15:28
  doing
• 15:28
  three
• 15:28
  cities
• 15:29
  in
• 15:29
  a
• 15:29
  row,
• 15:29
  but
• 15:30
  in
• 15:30
  very
• 15:30
  different
• 15:31
  places.
• 15:31
  Adelaide,
• 15:33
  Australia.
• 15:33
  Jason,
• 15:34
  why
• 15:35
  is
• 15:35
  that
• 15:35
  a
• 15:35
  place
• 15:36
  you
• 15:36
  want
• 15:36
  to
• 15:36
  go
• 15:37
  now?
• 15:38
  Well,
• 15:38
  the
• 15:39
  why
• 15:39
  do
• 15:39
  we
• 15:39
  go
• 15:40
  now?
• 15:40
  Is
• 15:41
  answered
• 15:41
  by
• 15:42
  the
• 15:42
  fact
• 15:42
  that
• 15:42
  it's
• 15:43
  usually
• 15:43
  like
• 15:44
  Fiji,
• 15:44
  very
• 15:44
  difficult
• 15:45
  to
• 15:45
  reach.
• 15:46
  But
• 15:46
  soon
• 15:47
  it
• 15:47
  won't
• 15:47
  be
• 15:47
  because
• 15:48
  in
• 15:48
  December
• 15:48
  of
• 15:49
  this
• 15:49
  year,
• 15:49
  United
• 15:50
  Airlines
• 15:50
  is
• 15:51
  starting
• 15:51
  direct
• 15:51
  flights
• 15:52
  from
• 15:52
  San
• 15:52
  Francisco.
• 15:53
  And
• 15:53
  the
• 15:53
  reason
• 15:53
  it's
• 15:54
  usually
• 15:54
  difficult
• 15:54
  to
• 15:55
  reach
• 15:55
  is
• 15:55
  because
• 15:55
  where
• 15:55
  it
• 15:56
  is,
• 15:56
  it's
• 15:57
  in
• 15:57
  a
• 15:57
  remote
• 15:57
  part
• 15:57
  of
• 15:58
  Australia,
• 15:58
  which
• 15:58
  I
• 15:58
  guess
• 15:59
  is
• 15:59
  like,
• 15:59
  you
• 15:59
  know,
• 15:59
  putting
• 15:59
  a
• 16:00
  hat
• 16:00
  on
• 16:00
  a
• 16:00
  hat.
• 16:00
  A
• 16:00
  lot
• 16:00
  of
• 16:00
  Australia
• 16:01
  is
• 16:01
  remote,
• 16:01
  but
• 16:01
  even
• 16:02
  people
• 16:02
  in
• 16:02
  Sydney
• 16:02
  and
• 16:03
  Melbourne
• 16:03
  think
• 16:03
  it's
• 16:03
  remote.
• 16:04
  It's
• 16:04
  in
• 16:04
  South
• 16:04
  Australia.
• 16:05
  And
• 16:05
  if
• 16:05
  you
• 16:05
  picture
• 16:06
  Australia,
• 16:06
  it's
• 16:06
  kind
• 16:07
  of
• 16:07
  like
• 16:07
  in
• 16:07
  the
• 16:07
  middle,
• 16:08
  on
• 16:08
  the
• 16:08
  bottom,
• 16:08
  near
• 16:09
  the
• 16:09
  coast.
• 16:10
  And
• 16:10
  it's,
• 16:10
  it's,
• 16:11
  it's
• 16:11
  near
• 16:12
  some
• 16:12
  really
• 16:13
  interesting
• 16:13
  diversity
• 16:14
  of
• 16:14
  things
• 16:14
  to
• 16:14
  go
• 16:15
  see
• 16:15
  and
• 16:15
  do.
• 16:15
  And
• 16:15
  so
• 16:16
  in
• 16:16
  the
• 16:16
  spirit
• 16:16
  of
• 16:16
  the
• 16:17
  idea
• 16:17
  that
• 16:17
  this
• 16:18
  best
• 16:18
  places
• 16:18
  list
• 16:19
  is
• 16:19
  about
• 16:19
  places
• 16:19
  where
• 16:20
  you
• 16:20
  can
• 16:20
  sort
• 16:20
  of
• 16:20
  reboot
• 16:21
  your
• 16:21
  mindset
• 16:22
  far
• 16:22
  from
• 16:22
  home,
• 16:23
  Adelaide
• 16:23
  really
• 16:24
  fits
• 16:24
  the
• 16:24
  bill.
• 16:24
  It's
• 16:24
  a
• 16:25
  lovely,
• 16:25
  calm,
• 16:27
  mid
• 16:27
  level
• 16:28
  city
• 16:28
  that's
• 16:28
  walkable,
• 16:29
  bikable.
• 16:30
  It
• 16:30
  was
• 16:30
  planned
• 16:31
  out
• 16:31
  by
• 16:31
  the
• 16:31
  colonial
• 16:32
  Australians.
• 16:32
  And
• 16:33
  so,
• 16:33
  you
• 16:33
  know,
• 16:33
  their
• 16:33
  avenues
• 16:34
  follow
• 16:34
  very
• 16:34
  predictable
• 16:35
  patterns.
• 16:36
  Its
• 16:36
  biggest
• 16:36
  tourist
• 16:37
  site
• 16:37
  is
• 16:38
  like
• 16:38
  a
• 16:38
  foodie
• 16:38
  market,
• 16:39
  the
• 16:39
  central
• 16:39
  market,
• 16:40
  which
• 16:40
  is
• 16:40
  getting
• 16:40
  a
• 16:40
  lot
• 16:41
  of
• 16:41
  love
• 16:41
  this
• 16:41
  year
• 16:42
  as
• 16:42
  well.
• 16:42
  It
• 16:43
  has
• 16:43
  the
• 16:43
  largest,
• 16:44
  well,
• 16:44
  has
• 16:45
  the
• 16:45
  largest
• 16:45
  fringe
• 16:46
  festival,
• 16:46
  the
• 16:46
  largest
• 16:47
  arts
• 16:47
  festival
• 16:47
  in
• 16:48
  Australia,
• 16:48
  and
• 16:48
  the
• 16:49
  second
• 16:49
  largest
• 16:50
  in
• 16:50
  the
• 16:50
  world.
• 16:51
  It's
• 16:51
  called
• 16:51
  the
• 16:51
  Adelaide
• 16:52
  Fringe.
• 16:52
  And
• 16:52
  it
• 16:53
  happens
• 16:53
  in
• 16:53
  late
• 16:53
  summer
• 16:54
  of
• 16:54
  February
• 16:54
  and
• 16:54
  March.
• 16:54
  We're
• 16:55
  talking
• 16:55
  dance
• 16:55
  theater
• 16:56
  or
• 16:56
  you
• 16:57
  know,
• 16:57
  light
• 16:57
  shows,
• 16:57
  just
• 16:58
  whatever.
• 16:58
  It's
• 16:58
  a
• 16:58
  small
• 16:59
  world
• 16:59
  of
• 16:59
  great
• 17:00
  things
• 17:00
  to
• 17:00
  see
• 17:00
  and
• 17:00
  do.
• 17:01
  And
• 17:01
  then
• 17:01
  there'll
• 17:02
  be
• 17:02
  another
• 17:02
  festival
• 17:03
  that
• 17:03
  just
• 17:03
  started
• 17:03
  about
• 17:03
  10
• 17:04
  years
• 17:04
  ago.
• 17:04
  It's
• 17:05
  called
• 17:05
  Tarnanti
• 17:06
  and
• 17:06
  it's
• 17:06
  a.
• 17:06
  It's
• 17:07
  a
• 17:07
  festival
• 17:07
  of
• 17:07
  art
• 17:07
  by
• 17:08
  Aboriginal
• 17:08
  and
• 17:08
  Torres
• 17:09
  Strait
• 17:09
  islanders.
• 17:10
  And,
• 17:10
  and
• 17:10
  it's,
• 17:10
  you
• 17:10
  know,
• 17:11
  it,
• 17:11
  it's
• 17:12
  really
• 17:12
  contemporary.
• 17:13
  When
• 17:13
  I
• 17:13
  say
• 17:13
  that
• 17:13
  it's
• 17:14
  about
• 17:14
  indigenous
• 17:14
  art,
• 17:15
  people
• 17:15
  imagine
• 17:15
  one
• 17:16
  thing,
• 17:16
  but
• 17:16
  there's
• 17:17
  some
• 17:17
  really
• 17:17
  interesting,
• 17:18
  cutting
• 17:18
  edge,
• 17:19
  inventive
• 17:19
  visuals
• 17:20
  that
• 17:20
  are
• 17:20
  happening
• 17:20
  there.
• 17:21
  So
• 17:21
  all
• 17:21
  those
• 17:21
  reasons
• 17:21
  enough
• 17:22
  are,
• 17:22
  you
• 17:23
  know,
• 17:23
  you'd
• 17:23
  want
• 17:23
  to
• 17:23
  go
• 17:23
  to
• 17:23
  Adelaide,
• 17:24
  which
• 17:24
  is
• 17:24
  near
• 17:24
  beaches
• 17:25
  you
• 17:25
  can
• 17:25
  actually
• 17:25
  swim
• 17:26
  in,
• 17:26
  which
• 17:26
  is
• 17:26
  not
• 17:26
  the
• 17:27
  case
• 17:27
  in
• 17:27
  Queensland
• 17:28
  a
• 17:28
  lot
• 17:28
  of
• 17:28
  times.
• 17:29
  And
• 17:29
  it's
• 17:29
  near
• 17:30
  mountains
• 17:30
  where
• 17:31
  they
• 17:31
  grow
• 17:31
  lots
• 17:31
  of
• 17:31
  grapes,
• 17:32
  so
• 17:32
  there's
• 17:32
  lots
• 17:32
  of
• 17:32
  good
• 17:33
  wine.
• 17:33
  In
• 17:33
  fact,
• 17:33
  the
• 17:33
  oldest
• 17:34
  wine
• 17:34
  regions
• 17:35
  in
• 17:35
  Australia
• 17:35
  are
• 17:36
  near
• 17:36
  Adelaide.
• 17:37
  But
• 17:37
  also
• 17:37
  there's
• 17:38
  a
• 17:38
  place
• 17:38
  called
• 17:38
  Kangaroo
• 17:39
  island,
• 17:40
  which
• 17:40
  is
• 17:40
  just
• 17:40
  about
• 17:40
  45
• 17:41
  minutes
• 17:41
  by
• 17:41
  ferry
• 17:42
  away
• 17:42
  from
• 17:43
  the
• 17:43
  outskirts
• 17:43
  of
• 17:43
  Adelaide.
• 17:44
  And
• 17:44
  it's
• 17:44
  this
• 17:44
  giant
• 17:45
  unspoiled
• 17:46
  island
• 17:46
  with
• 17:46
  cliffs
• 17:47
  and
• 17:48
  hidden
• 17:48
  coves
• 17:49
  you
• 17:49
  can
• 17:49
  boat
• 17:49
  and
• 17:49
  fish
• 17:50
  in
• 17:50
  and
• 17:50
  kangaroos
• 17:51
  and
• 17:51
  wallabies
• 17:51
  running
• 17:52
  wild.
• 17:53
  On
• 17:53
  Kangaroo
• 17:54
  island
• 17:54
  this
• 17:54
  year,
• 17:54
  they're
• 17:54
  putting
• 17:55
  in
• 17:55
  a
• 17:55
  golf
• 17:55
  course
• 17:55
  for
• 17:56
  the
• 17:56
  first
• 17:56
  time,
• 17:56
  which
• 17:57
  sounds
• 17:57
  depressing
• 17:57
  when
• 17:58
  you
• 17:58
  talk
• 17:58
  about
• 17:59
  natural
• 17:59
  wildlife
• 18:00
  place,
• 18:01
  but
• 18:01
  in
• 18:01
  this
• 18:01
  case,
• 18:01
  it
• 18:02
  took
• 18:02
  nearly
• 18:02
  a
• 18:02
  decade
• 18:03
  for
• 18:03
  them
• 18:03
  to
• 18:03
  pass
• 18:03
  lots
• 18:04
  of
• 18:04
  technical
• 18:05
  and
• 18:05
  regulatory
• 18:06
  requirements
• 18:06
  from
• 18:07
  the
• 18:07
  government
• 18:07
  Australia.
• 18:07
  They
• 18:08
  do
• 18:08
  things
• 18:08
  very
• 18:09
  carefully
• 18:09
  because
• 18:10
  they
• 18:10
  know
• 18:10
  how
• 18:10
  delicate
• 18:11
  and
• 18:11
  irreplaceable
• 18:12
  their
• 18:12
  environment
• 18:12
  is.
• 18:13
  And
• 18:13
  this
• 18:13
  golf
• 18:13
  course,
• 18:14
  which
• 18:14
  cost
• 18:14
  about
• 18:14
  US13
• 18:15
  million,
• 18:16
  is
• 18:16
  going
• 18:16
  in
• 18:16
  next
• 18:17
  year,
• 18:17
  adheres
• 18:17
  to
• 18:18
  all
• 18:18
  of
• 18:18
  that.
• 18:18
  But
• 18:18
  there's
• 18:18
  another
• 18:18
  reason
• 18:19
  to
• 18:19
  go
• 18:19
  to
• 18:20
  Kangaroo
• 18:20
  island,
• 18:21
  which
• 18:22
  is
• 18:22
  already
• 18:22
  one
• 18:22
  of
• 18:22
  the
• 18:23
  more
• 18:23
  popular
• 18:23
  places
• 18:24
  to
• 18:24
  sort
• 18:24
  of
• 18:25
  get
• 18:25
  away
• 18:25
  from
• 18:25
  it
• 18:25
  all
• 18:26
  in
• 18:26
  Australia
• 18:26
  and
• 18:27
  Kangaroo
• 18:27
  island,
• 18:27
  like
• 18:28
  Jasper
• 18:28
  and
• 18:29
  Asheville,
• 18:30
  which
• 18:30
  are
• 18:30
  previously
• 18:31
  on
• 18:31
  this
• 18:31
  list
• 18:31
  of
• 18:31
  best
• 18:32
  places,
• 18:32
  it
• 18:32
  had
• 18:33
  a
• 18:33
  hard
• 18:33
  time
• 18:33
  2020
• 18:34
  and
• 18:34
  2019,
• 18:35
  there
• 18:35
  were
• 18:35
  huge
• 18:35
  wildfires
• 18:36
  that
• 18:36
  scorched
• 18:36
  the
• 18:37
  western
• 18:37
  half.
• 18:37
  But
• 18:38
  a
• 18:38
  lot
• 18:38
  has
• 18:38
  been
• 18:38
  rebuilt,
• 18:39
  a
• 18:39
  lot
• 18:39
  has
• 18:39
  been
• 18:39
  rediscovered
• 18:40
  and
• 18:40
  the
• 18:41
  place
• 18:41
  has
• 18:41
  sort
• 18:41
  of
• 18:41
  been
• 18:41
  re
• 18:42
  energized
• 18:42
  by
• 18:43
  the
• 18:43
  loss.
• 18:44
  And
• 18:45
  it's
• 18:45
  growing
• 18:45
  back
• 18:45
  in
• 18:46
  a
• 18:46
  way
• 18:46
  that
• 18:46
  I
• 18:46
  don't
• 18:46
  think
• 18:46
  most
• 18:47
  visitors
• 18:47
  can
• 18:47
  tell.
• 18:47
  But
• 18:48
  the
• 18:48
  locals
• 18:48
  will
• 18:48
  tell
• 18:48
  you
• 18:48
  all
• 18:49
  the
• 18:49
  ways
• 18:49
  that
• 18:49
  it's
• 18:49
  transformed
• 18:50
  the
• 18:50
  place
• 18:50
  for
• 18:50
  the
• 18:50
  better.
• 18:51
  Huh?
• 18:51
  Very
• 18:52
  interesting.
• 18:53
  So
• 18:53
  do
• 18:53
  you
• 18:53
  see
• 18:54
  any
• 18:55
  remnants
• 18:55
  of
• 18:56
  those
• 18:56
  fires
• 18:57
  when
• 18:57
  you're
• 18:57
  there?
• 18:57
  A
• 18:58
  little
• 18:58
  bit
• 18:58
  of
• 18:58
  chard
• 18:59
  land,
• 18:59
  but
• 18:59
  a
• 19:00
  lot
• 19:00
  of
• 19:00
  the
• 19:00
  greenery,
• 19:00
  it's
• 19:01
  not,
• 19:01
  it's
• 19:01
  not
• 19:01
  a
• 19:01
  developed
• 19:02
  place.
• 19:02
  So
• 19:03
  it's
• 19:03
  when
• 19:03
  nature
• 19:04
  retakes
• 19:04
  itself,
• 19:05
  you
• 19:05
  know,
• 19:05
  you
• 19:05
  can
• 19:05
  see
• 19:06
  it,
• 19:06
  you
• 19:06
  know
• 19:06
  it's,
• 19:07
  and
• 19:07
  it's
• 19:07
  not
• 19:07
  like
• 19:07
  a
• 19:07
  giant
• 19:08
  forest
• 19:08
  the
• 19:08
  way
• 19:08
  it
• 19:08
  would
• 19:08
  be
• 19:08
  up
• 19:09
  in
• 19:09
  Jasper.
• 19:09
  That
• 19:09
  would
• 19:09
  take
• 19:10
  many
• 19:10
  generations
• 19:10
  to
• 19:10
  rebuild.
• 19:11
  This
• 19:11
  is
• 19:11
  more
• 19:11
  like
• 19:11
  scrubby,
• 19:12
  low
• 19:12
  lying,
• 19:13
  you
• 19:13
  know,
• 19:13
  seaside
• 19:14
  cliffs.
• 19:14
  So
• 19:15
  it
• 19:15
  can
• 19:15
  regenerate
• 19:16
  a
• 19:16
  lot,
• 19:16
  a
• 19:16
  lot
• 19:16
  faster,
• 19:17
  at
• 19:18
  least
• 19:18
  to
• 19:18
  the
• 19:18
  human
• 19:18
  eye.
• 19:19
  Right.
• 19:19
  So
• 19:19
  it's,
• 19:19
  it's,
• 19:20
  it's
• 19:20
  an
• 19:20
  easy
• 19:20
  place.
• 19:20
  And
• 19:21
  they've
• 19:21
  rebuilt
• 19:21
  a
• 19:21
  lot
• 19:21
  of
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  visitor
• 19:22
  centers
• 19:22
  that
• 19:22
  have
• 19:22
  been
• 19:22
  lost.
• 19:23
  So
• 19:23
  there's
• 19:24
  a,
• 19:24
  there's
• 19:24
  a
• 19:24
  lot
• 19:24
  of
• 19:24
  reasons
• 19:24
  to
• 19:24
  go,
• 19:25
  but
• 19:25
  a
• 19:25
  lot
• 19:25
  of
• 19:25
  people
• 19:25
  just
• 19:25
  go
• 19:25
  to
• 19:25
  Kangaroo
• 19:26
  island
• 19:26
  to
• 19:26
  escape
• 19:27
  rangers
• 19:28
  in
• 19:28
  civilization.
• 19:28
  They'll
• 19:28
  rent
• 19:29
  a
• 19:29
  boat
• 19:29
  and
• 19:30
  you
• 19:30
  can
• 19:30
  reach
• 19:30
  down
• 19:30
  on
• 19:30
  the
• 19:31
  water
• 19:31
  and
• 19:31
  pick
• 19:31
  up
• 19:31
  these
• 19:31
  giant
• 19:32
  crayfish.
• 19:32
  If
• 19:33
  you're
• 19:33
  into
• 19:33
  crayfish
• 19:34
  and
• 19:34
  all
• 19:34
  these
• 19:34
  other
• 19:35
  animals
• 19:35
  that
• 19:35
  are
• 19:35
  endemic
• 19:36
  to
• 19:36
  that
• 19:37
  area.
• 19:37
  This
• 19:37
  in
• 19:37
  the,
• 19:38
  the
• 19:38
  bite
• 19:38
  of
• 19:38
  Australia
• 19:39
  down
• 19:39
  there.
• 19:39
  Also
• 19:40
  South
• 19:40
  Australia
• 19:40
  while
• 19:41
  you're
• 19:41
  down
• 19:41
  there.
• 19:41
  Because
• 19:41
  when
• 19:41
  you're
• 19:42
  in
• 19:42
  Australia
• 19:42
  you
• 19:42
  should
• 19:42
  do
• 19:42
  more.
• 19:43
  You
• 19:43
  can
• 19:43
  fly
• 19:43
  up
• 19:44
  to
• 19:44
  a
• 19:44
  place
• 19:44
  called
• 19:44
  Coober
• 19:44
  Pedy
• 19:45
  from
• 19:45
  Adelaide.
• 19:46
  I
• 19:46
  think
• 19:46
  it's
• 19:46
  maybe
• 19:46
  an
• 19:46
  hour
• 19:47
  flight
• 19:47
  away.
• 19:47
  That's
• 19:48
  the
• 19:48
  place
• 19:48
  that
• 19:48
  used
• 19:49
  to
• 19:49
  be.
• 19:49
  It's
• 19:49
  in
• 19:50
  the
• 19:50
  desert.
• 19:50
  A
• 19:50
  lot
• 19:50
  of
• 19:51
  South
• 19:51
  Australia
• 19:51
  is
• 19:52
  desert,
• 19:52
  like
• 19:53
  Australian
• 19:53
  desert.
• 19:54
  But
• 19:54
  it's
• 19:54
  a
• 19:54
  place
• 19:54
  where
• 19:54
  they
• 19:55
  used
• 19:55
  to
• 19:55
  mine
• 19:55
  for
• 19:55
  opals
• 19:56
  and
• 19:56
  still
• 19:56
  do
• 19:56
  a
• 19:56
  little
• 19:56
  bit.
• 19:57
  But
• 19:57
  a
• 19:57
  lot
• 19:57
  of
• 19:57
  the
• 19:57
  homes
• 19:58
  and
• 19:58
  hotels
• 19:58
  are
• 19:58
  now
• 19:59
  in
• 19:59
  the
• 19:59
  former
• 19:59
  mines.
• 20:00
  So
• 20:00
  when
• 20:01
  it's
• 20:01
  100
• 20:01
  something
• 20:01
  degrees
• 20:02
  outside,
• 20:02
  you're
• 20:02
  underneath
• 20:03
  the
• 20:03
  ground
• 20:03
  in
• 20:03
  these
• 20:03
  little
• 20:04
  mini
• 20:04
  cities
• 20:04
  and
• 20:05
  homes
• 20:05
  that
• 20:05
  are
• 20:05
  carved
• 20:06
  into
• 20:06
  the
• 20:06
  mountainside.
• 20:07
  And
• 20:07
  it's
• 20:07
  also
• 20:07
  where
• 20:08
  you
• 20:08
  can.
• 20:08
  Adelaide
• 20:09
  is
• 20:09
  also
• 20:09
  where
• 20:09
  you
• 20:09
  can
• 20:09
  catch
• 20:10
  the
• 20:10
  Gan,
• 20:10
  which
• 20:10
  is
• 20:11
  the
• 20:11
  big
• 20:11
  passenger
• 20:12
  train
• 20:12
  that
• 20:12
  goes
• 20:12
  from
• 20:12
  the
• 20:12
  south
• 20:13
  of
• 20:13
  Australia
• 20:13
  all
• 20:13
  the
• 20:13
  way
• 20:14
  up
• 20:14
  to
• 20:14
  Darwin.
• 20:15
  Along
• 20:15
  the
• 20:15
  way
• 20:15
  passing
• 20:16
  Nanawa
• 20:16
  Springs
• 20:17
  so
• 20:17
  you
• 20:17
  can
• 20:17
  get
• 20:17
  off
• 20:17
  and
• 20:18
  go
• 20:18
  to
• 20:18
  see
• 20:19
  Uluru.
• 20:20
  So
• 20:20
  there's
• 20:20
  a
• 20:20
  lot
• 20:20
  of
• 20:21
  reasons
• 20:21
  to
• 20:21
  go
• 20:21
  to
• 20:21
  Adelaide.
• 20:22
  It's
• 20:22
  just.
• 20:22
  But
• 20:22
  mostly
• 20:22
  it's
• 20:23
  a
• 20:23
  livable,
• 20:24
  pleasant,
• 20:24
  richly
• 20:25
  natural
• 20:26
  place
• 20:26
  that
• 20:26
  is
• 20:27
  way
• 20:27
  far
• 20:27
  away
• 20:28
  from
• 20:28
  the
• 20:28
  madness
• 20:29
  in
• 20:29
  your
• 20:29
  own
• 20:29
  yard.
• 20:30
  Yeah,
• 20:30
  absolutely.
• 20:31
  When
• 20:31
  I
• 20:31
  saw
• 20:32
  the
• 20:32
  pictures,
• 20:32
  it
• 20:32
  just
• 20:32
  looks
• 20:33
  very
• 20:33
  green,
• 20:34
  like
• 20:34
  extremely.
• 20:34
  It's
• 20:35
  a
• 20:35
  beautiful
• 20:35
  city.
• 20:36
  Yeah.
• 20:36
  That
• 20:37
  part
• 20:37
  of
• 20:37
  Australia
• 20:37
  gets
• 20:37
  a
• 20:38
  lot
• 20:38
  of
• 20:38
  moisture
• 20:38
  because
• 20:38
  of
• 20:39
  the
• 20:39
  water.
• 20:39
  It
• 20:40
  quickly
• 20:40
  gives
• 20:40
  way
• 20:40
  to
• 20:41
  desert,
• 20:41
  which
• 20:41
  is
• 20:41
  again,
• 20:42
  what's
• 20:42
  so
• 20:42
  fascinating
• 20:43
  about
• 20:43
  parts
• 20:43
  of
• 20:43
  Australia
• 20:44
  is
• 20:44
  you
• 20:44
  can
• 20:44
  get
• 20:44
  these
• 20:44
  wild
• 20:45
  shifts
• 20:45
  in
• 20:46
  topography
• 20:47
  within
• 20:47
  just,
• 20:47
  you
• 20:47
  know,
• 20:48
  20
• 20:48
  minutes
• 20:49
  drive.
• 20:49
  But
• 20:50
  that's
• 20:50
  what
• 20:50
  also
• 20:50
  makes
• 20:51
  it
• 20:51
  a
• 20:51
  really
• 20:51
  rich
• 20:51
  place
• 20:51
  for
• 20:51
  taking
• 20:52
  a
• 20:52
  vacation
• 20:52
  because
• 20:53
  there's
• 20:53
  lots
• 20:53
  of
• 20:53
  different
• 20:53
  types
• 20:53
  of
• 20:54
  things
• 20:54
  to
• 20:54
  do.
• 20:55
  Right.
• 20:55
  And
• 20:56
  I'm
• 20:56
  sorry,
• 20:56
  it's
• 20:56
  not
• 20:56
  me
• 20:57
  growling,
• 20:57
  that's
• 20:58
  my
• 20:58
  dog.
• 20:58
  I
• 20:58
  don't
• 20:59
  know
• 20:59
  if
• 20:59
  you
• 20:59
  can
• 20:59
  hear
• 20:59
  that
• 21:00
  background
• 21:00
  here
• 21:02
  still
• 21:02
  on
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  fence
• 21:02
  about
• 21:02
  Adelaide.
• 21:03
  Apparently
• 21:03
  the
• 21:03
  dog
• 21:04
  is.
• 21:06
  Yes.
• 21:06
  Is
• 21:06
  your
• 21:06
  dog
• 21:07
  from
• 21:07
  Sydney?
• 21:07
  Because
• 21:07
  there
• 21:08
  really
• 21:08
  is
• 21:08
  a
• 21:08
  weird
• 21:09
  rival
• 21:09
  cow
• 21:10
  town.
• 21:10
  Yeah.
• 21:10
  But
• 21:10
  I
• 21:11
  think
• 21:11
  placed
• 21:12
  and
• 21:12
  we'd
• 21:13
  want
• 21:13
  to
• 21:13
  raise
• 21:13
  a
• 21:13
  family
• 21:13
  type
• 21:14
  of
• 21:14
  thing.
• 21:15
  Yeah.
• 21:15
  That's
• 21:15
  surprising.
• 21:16
  I
• 21:17
  thought
• 21:17
  the
• 21:17
  rivalry
• 21:18
  was
• 21:18
  between
• 21:18
  Sydney
• 21:19
  and
• 21:19
  Melbourne.
• 21:19
  Well,
• 21:19
  there
• 21:20
  it
• 21:20
  is
• 21:20
  as
• 21:20
  well.
• 21:20
  But
• 21:21
  people
• 21:21
  just
• 21:21
  sort
• 21:21
  of
• 21:21
  view
• 21:21
  Adelaide
• 21:22
  as
• 21:22
  sort
• 21:22
  of
• 21:22
  a
• 21:23
  backwater
• 21:23
  and
• 21:24
  I
• 21:24
  think
• 21:24
  it's
• 21:24
  completely.
• 21:25
  It's
• 21:25
  unfair
• 21:26
  because
• 21:26
  it's
• 21:27
  a
• 21:27
  third
• 21:27
  tier
• 21:27
  city,
• 21:27
  a
• 21:28
  second
• 21:28
  tier
• 21:28
  city
• 21:28
  and
• 21:29
  it's
• 21:29
  not
• 21:29
  at
• 21:29
  the
• 21:29
  level
• 21:29
  of
• 21:29
  a
• 21:30
  Sydney
• 21:30
  or
• 21:30
  Melbourne.
• 21:30
  But
• 21:30
  that's
• 21:31
  why
• 21:31
  you'd
• 21:31
  want
• 21:31
  to
• 21:31
  go,
• 21:31
  isn't
• 21:32
  it?
• 21:33
  Yeah,
• 21:33
  absolutely.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:35
  And
• 21:35
  you're
• 21:36
  right
• 21:36
  about
• 21:37
  kangaroo
• 21:38
  island.
• 21:38
  Teaming,
• 21:39
  teeming
• 21:40
  with
• 21:40
  kangaroos.
• 21:41
  We
• 21:42
  saw
• 21:42
  these
• 21:42
  extraordinary
• 21:43
  photos
• 21:43
  of
• 21:44
  like
• 21:44
  hundreds
• 21:44
  of
• 21:44
  them
• 21:45
  just
• 21:45
  hopping
• 21:45
  through
• 21:45
  fields.
• 21:47
  Really,
• 21:47
  really
• 21:47
  a
• 21:48
  place
• 21:48
  I
• 21:48
  want
• 21:48
  to
• 21:48
  go.
• 21:48
  People
• 21:49
  don't
• 21:49
  realize
• 21:49
  how
• 21:49
  many
• 21:50
  kangaroos
• 21:50
  there
• 21:50
  are
• 21:50
  in
• 21:50
  Australia.
• 21:51
  They
• 21:51
  just,
• 21:51
  they're
• 21:52
  everywhere
• 21:53
  and
• 21:53
  they're
• 21:53
  quite
• 21:53
  dangerous.
• 21:53
  They're,
• 21:54
  you
• 21:54
  know,
• 21:54
  because
• 21:54
  they're
• 21:54
  always
• 21:54
  leaping
• 21:55
  in
• 21:55
  front
• 21:55
  of
• 21:55
  cars
• 21:55
  and
• 21:56
  things
• 21:56
  like
• 21:56
  that.
• 21:56
  There
• 21:56
  was
• 21:56
  once
• 21:57
  someone
• 21:57
  who
• 21:57
  wanted
• 21:58
  to
• 21:58
  bring
• 21:58
  kangaroos
• 21:59
  to
• 21:59
  the
• 21:59
  western
• 21:59
  United
• 22:00
  States
• 22:01
  and
• 22:02
  we
• 22:02
  should
• 22:02
  be
• 22:02
  glad
• 22:02
  that
• 22:02
  there
• 22:02
  are
• 22:03
  the
• 22:03
  protections
• 22:03
  in
• 22:03
  place
• 22:03
  that
• 22:04
  did
• 22:04
  not
• 22:04
  do
• 22:04
  that.
• 22:04
  Otherwise
• 22:05
  they
• 22:05
  would
• 22:05
  be
• 22:05
  populating
• 22:06
  like
• 22:06
  crazy
• 22:07
  and
• 22:07
  just
• 22:07
  completely
• 22:07
  swarming
• 22:08
  and
• 22:08
  teeming
• 22:09
  with
• 22:09
  everything
• 22:09
  out
• 22:10
  west
• 22:10
  in
• 22:10
  our
• 22:10
  country
• 22:10
  too.
• 22:11
  Yeah.
• 22:12
  All
• 22:12
  right.
• 22:13
  Our
• 22:13
  next
• 22:13
  place
• 22:14
  is
• 22:14
  the
• 22:15
  Algarve
• 22:16
  region
• 22:17
  of
• 22:17
  Portugal.
• 22:18
  It
• 22:19
  has
• 22:19
  125
• 22:20
  miles
• 22:21
  of
• 22:21
  beaches
• 22:21
  and
• 22:22
  many
• 22:22
  consider
• 22:22
  them
• 22:23
  to
• 22:23
  be
• 22:23
  the
• 22:23
  best
• 22:24
  beaches
• 22:25
  in
• 22:26
  the
• 22:26
  United
• 22:26
  States,
• 22:26
  in
• 22:27
  all
• 22:27
  of
• 22:27
  Europe.
• 22:28
  It
• 22:28
  has
• 22:28
  a
• 22:28
  very
• 22:29
  balmy
• 22:29
  climate.
• 22:30
  It
• 22:30
  never
• 22:31
  ever
• 22:31
  gets
• 22:31
  colder
• 22:32
  than
• 22:32
  60
• 22:33
  degrees.
• 22:33
  So
• 22:34
  even
• 22:34
  in
• 22:34
  the
• 22:34
  depths
• 22:35
  of
• 22:35
  winter,
• 22:35
  sometimes
• 22:36
  you
• 22:36
  can
• 22:36
  go
• 22:36
  swimming
• 22:37
  there.
• 22:38
  But
• 22:38
  the
• 22:38
  reason
• 22:38
  we
• 22:39
  are
• 22:39
  highlighting
• 22:40
  it
• 22:40
  this
• 22:40
  year
• 22:41
  is
• 22:42
  for
• 22:42
  the
• 22:42
  first
• 22:42
  time
• 22:43
  ever,
• 22:43
  there
• 22:43
  are
• 22:43
  going
• 22:44
  to
• 22:44
  be
• 22:44
  direct
• 22:45
  transatlantic
• 22:46
  flights
• 22:47
  into
• 22:47
  the
• 22:48
  regional
• 22:48
  capital
• 22:49
  of
• 22:49
  Faro
• 22:50
  from
• 22:50
  the
• 22:50
  United
• 22:51
  States,
• 22:52
  making
• 22:52
  it
• 22:52
  a
• 22:53
  place
• 22:53
  where
• 22:54
  Americans
• 22:55
  can
• 22:55
  actually
• 22:56
  maybe
• 22:56
  do
• 22:57
  a
• 22:57
  European
• 22:58
  beach
• 22:58
  vacation,
• 22:59
  which
• 22:59
  is
• 22:59
  kind
• 23:00
  of
• 23:00
  crazy.
• 23:00
  But
• 23:00
  of
• 23:01
  course
• 23:01
  there's
• 23:01
  more
• 23:02
  there
• 23:02
  because
• 23:02
  this
• 23:03
  is
• 23:03
  Portugal.
• 23:04
  So
• 23:04
  you
• 23:04
  have
• 23:04
  these
• 23:05
  ancient
• 23:05
  fortresses,
• 23:06
  you
• 23:07
  have
• 23:07
  gold
• 23:07
  lined
• 23:08
  baroque
• 23:09
  churches,
• 23:10
  you
• 23:10
  have
• 23:11
  the
• 23:11
  places
• 23:11
  where
• 23:12
  the
• 23:12
  Portuguese
• 23:13
  explorers
• 23:13
  took
• 23:14
  off
• 23:15
  and
• 23:16
  ancient
• 23:16
  cloisters.
• 23:18
  This
• 23:18
  year
• 23:19
  Pharaoh
• 23:20
  is
• 23:20
  getting
• 23:21
  the
• 23:22
  old
• 23:22
  masters
• 23:23
  collection
• 23:24
  from
• 23:25
  Lisbon.
• 23:26
  While
• 23:26
  Lisbon's
• 23:28
  National
• 23:28
  Museum
• 23:29
  of
• 23:29
  Ancient
• 23:30
  Art
• 23:30
  is
• 23:30
  closed
• 23:31
  for
• 23:31
  refurbishing.
• 23:34
  They're
• 23:34
  going
• 23:34
  to
• 23:34
  be
• 23:35
  sending
• 23:35
  those
• 23:35
  paintings
• 23:36
  to
• 23:36
  Pharaoh,
• 23:37
  which
• 23:37
  is
• 23:38
  I
• 23:38
  think
• 23:38
  an
• 23:39
  incredible
• 23:39
  reason
• 23:40
  to
• 23:40
  go.
• 23:40
  Because
• 23:40
  Pharaoh
• 23:41
  had
• 23:41
  been
• 23:41
  a
• 23:42
  beach
• 23:42
  place
• 23:43
  with
• 23:43
  some
• 23:43
  historic
• 23:44
  structures,
• 23:45
  but
• 23:45
  because
• 23:45
  so
• 23:46
  much
• 23:46
  was
• 23:46
  destroyed
• 23:47
  in
• 23:48
  the
• 23:48
  earthquake
• 23:49
  of
• 23:49
  1755,
• 23:50
  which
• 23:50
  is
• 23:51
  also
• 23:51
  the
• 23:51
  earthquake
• 23:52
  that
• 23:52
  leveled
• 23:53
  Lisbon
• 23:54
  itself.
• 23:56
  It
• 23:56
  has
• 23:56
  fewer
• 23:56
  historic
• 23:57
  structures
• 23:58
  than
• 23:58
  other
• 23:58
  parts
• 23:59
  of
• 24:00
  the
• 24:00
  country.
• 24:00
  But
• 24:01
  with
• 24:02
  these
• 24:02
  paintings
• 24:03
  there,
• 24:03
  that's
• 24:04
  a
• 24:04
  reason
• 24:04
  to
• 24:04
  go.
• 24:05
  In
• 24:05
  2026
• 24:06
  they
• 24:07
  have
• 24:07
  a
• 24:07
  newly
• 24:08
  reopened
• 24:08
  theater.
• 24:09
  There's
• 24:09
  going
• 24:09
  to
• 24:10
  be
• 24:10
  an
• 24:10
  Afro
• 24:10
  Nation
• 24:11
  festival,
• 24:12
  the
• 24:12
  world's
• 24:13
  biggest
• 24:13
  festival
• 24:14
  of
• 24:14
  Afrobeats
• 24:15
  music.
• 24:16
  And
• 24:17
  it's
• 24:17
  finally
• 24:17
  going
• 24:18
  to
• 24:18
  be
• 24:18
  much
• 24:18
  easier
• 24:19
  to
• 24:19
  get
• 24:19
  around
• 24:20
  the
• 24:20
  region
• 24:21
  because
• 24:22
  they
• 24:22
  are
• 24:23
  finally
• 24:23
  completing
• 24:24
  a
• 24:25
  new
• 24:25
  train
• 24:26
  line
• 24:26
  that
• 24:27
  is
• 24:27
  going
• 24:27
  to
• 24:27
  chug
• 24:27
  through
• 24:28
  the
• 24:28
  dunes
• 24:29
  and
• 24:29
  salt
• 24:29
  marshes
• 24:30
  and
• 24:30
  orange
• 24:30
  groves
• 24:32
  that
• 24:32
  line
• 24:33
  this
• 24:33
  beautiful
• 24:34
  coast.
• 24:35
  So
• 24:36
  always
• 24:36
  been
• 24:37
  a
• 24:37
  gorgeous
• 24:37
  place
• 24:38
  to
• 24:38
  visit.
• 24:38
  Now
• 24:39
  it's
• 24:39
  going
• 24:39
  to
• 24:39
  be
• 24:39
  much,
• 24:40
  much
• 24:40
  more
• 24:41
  accessible
• 24:42
  because
• 24:42
  there's
• 24:43
  going
• 24:43
  to
• 24:43
  be
• 24:43

  ways
• 24:45
  to
• 24:45
  get
• 24:45
  around
• 24:46
  easily.
• 24:47
  And
• 24:47
  if
• 24:47
  you're
• 24:47

• 24:47
  beachy
• 24:48

  person
• 24:49
  and

  maybe

  a

  newlywed.
• 24:51
  The

  Hint,

  There's

  no

  There's

  You

  this

  is
• 25:20
  a

  family

  All
• 25:22
  right,
• 25:22
  Zach,
• 25:23
  take
• 25:24
  us
• 25:24
  home.
• 25:24
  We
• 25:25
  have
• 25:25
  reached
• 25:25
  the
• 25:26
  very
• 25:26
  last
• 25:27
  destination.
• 25:28
  Am
• 25:28
  I
• 25:28
  the
• 25:28
  finale?
• 25:29
  How
• 25:29
  exciting.
• 25:29
  You
• 25:30
  are
• 25:30
  the
• 25:30
  finale.
• 25:31
  The
• 25:32
  last
• 25:32
  place
• 25:32
  is
• 25:33
  also
• 25:33
  a
• 25:33
  beachy
• 25:33
  place
• 25:34
  called
• 25:34
  Palawan
• 25:35
  in
• 25:35
  the
• 25:35
  Philippines.
• 25:36
  And
• 25:37
  the
• 25:37
  reason
• 25:38
  we
• 25:38
  think
• 25:38
  it's
• 25:38
  going
• 25:39
  to
• 25:39
  have
• 25:39
  a
• 25:39
  big
• 25:39
  moment
• 25:39
  in
• 25:40
  2026
• 25:41
  is
• 25:41
  it's
• 25:41
  the
• 25:41
  setting
• 25:42
  for
• 25:42
  a
• 25:42
  new
• 25:43
  rom
• 25:43
  com
• 25:43
  that's
• 25:44
  coming
• 25:44
  up
• 25:44
  called
• 25:44
  the
• 25:44
  Last
• 25:45
  Resort.
• 25:45
  So
• 25:45
  we
• 25:45
  think
• 25:45
  it's
• 25:45
  going
• 25:46
  to
• 25:46
  be
• 25:46
  a
• 25:46
  big
• 25:47
  destination
• 25:47
  for
• 25:48
  the
• 25:48
  those
• 25:48
  into
• 25:49
  following
• 25:49
  the
• 25:49
  trend
• 25:50
  of
• 25:50
  I
• 25:50
  always
• 25:51
  flip
• 25:51
  it
• 25:51
  Set
• 25:52
  jetting.
• 25:52
  That's
• 25:53
  it.
• 25:53
  That's
• 25:53
  the
• 25:53
  term.
• 25:53
  Yeah,
• 25:54
  that's
• 25:54
  the
• 25:54
  term
• 25:54
  they
• 25:54
  like
• 25:54
  to
• 25:54
  use.
• 25:54
  Instead
• 25:55
  of
• 25:55
  jet
• 25:55
  setter.
• 25:55
  You're
• 25:56
  a
• 25:56
  set
• 25:56
  because
• 25:56
  you
• 25:57
  go
• 25:57
  for
• 25:57
  the
• 25:57
  sets.
• 25:57
  Right.
• 25:58
  Anyway,
• 25:58
  it's
• 25:58
  called
• 25:59
  the
• 25:59
  Last
• 25:59
  Resort
• 26:00
  and
• 26:00
  it's
• 26:00
  in
• 26:01
  this
• 26:01
  beautiful
• 26:01
  area
• 26:01
  of
• 26:02
  the
• 26:02
  Philippines
• 26:02
  called
• 26:03
  Palawan
• 26:04
  which
• 26:04
  is
• 26:04
  an
• 26:04
  archipelago
• 26:05
  in
• 26:05
  the
• 26:05
  westernmost
• 26:06
  province
• 26:06
  of
• 26:06
  the
• 26:07
  country.
• 26:07
  And
• 26:07
  it's
• 26:08
  just
• 26:09
  gorgeous.
• 26:09
  I
• 26:09
  mean
• 26:09
  expect
• 26:10
  the
• 26:10
  scenery
• 26:10
  to
• 26:11
  upstage
• 26:12
  the
• 26:12
  actors.
• 26:13
  Daisy
• 26:13
  Ridley's
• 26:14
  in
• 26:14
  it
• 26:14
  from
• 26:14
  she
• 26:15
  was
• 26:15
  in

• 26:16
  second
• 26:16
  Star
• 26:16
  wars
• 26:17
  trilogy.
• 26:18
  But
• 26:18
  Palawan
• 26:19
  has
• 26:19
  like
• 26:20
  1800
• 26:21
  coral
• 26:22
  fringed
• 26:22
  aisles
• 26:23
  and
• 26:23
  islets.
• 26:24
  So
• 26:24
  that
• 26:24
  means
• 26:25
  Snorkelers
• 26:25
  and
• 26:26
  divers
• 26:26
  have
• 26:26
  a
• 26:26
  lot
• 26:26
  to
• 26:27
  do.
• 26:27
  There's
• 26:27
  beautiful
• 26:28
  beaches.
• 26:29
  You
• 26:29
  can
• 26:29
  go
• 26:30
  island
• 26:30
  hopping.
• 26:30
  And
• 26:32
  the
• 26:32
  biggest
• 26:32
  island,
• 26:33
  which
• 26:33
  is
• 26:33
  also
• 26:33
  called
• 26:33
  Palawan,
• 26:34
  its
• 26:34
  most
• 26:34
  famous
• 26:35
  thing
• 26:35
  is
• 26:35
  called
• 26:36
  Puerto
• 26:36
  Princesa
• 26:37
  Subterranean
• 26:38
  River
• 26:38
  national
• 26:39
  park.
• 26:39
  And
• 26:39
  it's
• 26:39
  a
• 26:39
  UNESCO
• 26:40
  heritage
• 26:40
  site
• 26:41
  with
• 26:41
  these
• 26:42
  limestone
• 26:43
  karst
• 26:43
  cliffs.
• 26:44
  And
• 26:44
  inside
• 26:45
  there
• 26:45
  are
• 26:45
  these
• 26:46
  incredible
• 26:47
  dramatic
• 26:47
  caves
• 26:48
  and
• 26:48
  you
• 26:48
  can
• 26:49
  take
• 26:49
  boat
• 26:49
  tours
• 26:50
  to
• 26:50
  see
• 26:50
  them
• 26:50
  on
• 26:50
  an
• 26:50
  underground
• 26:51
  river.
• 26:51
  Another
• 26:52
  reason
• 26:52
  we
• 26:52
  picked
• 26:52
  the
• 26:53
  Philippines
• 26:53
  is
• 26:53
  because
• 26:54
  it's
• 26:54
  often
• 26:54
  been
• 26:55
  overlooked.
• 26:55
  It
• 26:56
  hasn't
• 26:56
  always
• 26:56
  been
• 26:57
  safe
• 26:58
  to
• 26:58
  go
• 26:58
  there
• 26:58
  because
• 26:58
  of
• 26:59
  political
• 26:59
  instability,
• 27:00
  but
• 27:01
  it's
• 27:02
  affordable.
• 27:02
  It's
• 27:03
  exciting
• 27:03
  because
• 27:03
  it's
• 27:04
  on
• 27:04
  the
• 27:04
  cusp.
• 27:05
  And
• 27:06
  so,
• 27:06
  yeah,
• 27:06
  that's
• 27:06
  Palawan.
• 27:07
  And
• 27:07
  these
• 27:07
  pictures
• 27:08
  of
• 27:08
  this,
• 27:09
  the
• 27:09
  place
• 27:09
  with
• 27:09
  the
• 27:09
  karst
• 27:10
  cliffs
• 27:10
  that
• 27:10
  Zach
• 27:10
  is
• 27:11
  talking
• 27:11
  about,
• 27:11
  gorgeous.
• 27:12
  They're
• 27:12
  like
• 27:12
  these
• 27:13
  vertical
• 27:13
  needles
• 27:14
  of
• 27:14
  rock
• 27:14
  coming
• 27:15
  out
• 27:15
  of
• 27:15
  this
• 27:15
  turquoise
• 27:16
  blue
• 27:16
  water
• 27:17
  that's
• 27:17
  perfectly
• 27:17
  flat.
• 27:18
  It
• 27:18
  looks.
• 27:19
  It's
• 27:19
  that
• 27:19
  otherworldly
• 27:20
  thing
• 27:20
  that
• 27:21
  you
• 27:21
  don't
• 27:21
  really
• 27:21
  see
• 27:22
  very
• 27:22
  often
• 27:22
  and
• 27:23
  is
• 27:24
  absolutely
• 27:24
  worth
• 27:24
  the
• 27:24
  trip.
• 27:25
  Kind
• 27:25
  of
• 27:26
  looks
• 27:26
  like
• 27:26
  Ha
• 27:26
  Long
• 27:26
  Bay
• 27:27
  actually
• 27:27
  in
• 27:27
  Vietnam.
• 27:28
  Much
• 27:28
  less
• 27:28
  crowded
• 27:29
  and,
• 27:29
  well,
• 27:29
  it
• 27:30
  looked
• 27:30
  to
• 27:30
  me
• 27:30
  like
• 27:30
  the
• 27:30
  movie
• 27:31
  Avatar.
• 27:32
  I
• 27:32
  mean,
• 27:32
  it
• 27:32
  almost
• 27:33
  looks
• 27:33
  otherworldly,
• 27:34
  just
• 27:35
  the
• 27:35
  verticality
• 27:36
  of
• 27:36
  those
• 27:36
  cliffs.
• 27:37
  Yeah,
• 27:38
  it
• 27:38
  looks
• 27:38
  absolutely
• 27:39
  spectacular.
• 27:41
  A
• 27:41
  lot
• 27:41
  of
• 27:41
  people
• 27:41
  speak
• 27:41
  English
• 27:42
  there
• 27:42
  too,
• 27:42
  by
• 27:42
  the
• 27:42
  way.
• 27:43
  Don't
• 27:43
  forget,
• 27:43
  because
• 27:43
  there's
• 27:43
  a
• 27:44
  lot
• 27:44
  of
• 27:44
  links,
• 27:44
  both
• 27:45
  good
• 27:45
  and
• 27:45
  bad,
• 27:45
  with
• 27:45
  the
• 27:45
  United
• 27:46
  States.
• 27:46
  So
• 27:46
  it's
• 27:46
  an
• 27:47
  easier
• 27:47
  place
• 27:47
  to
• 27:47
  travel
• 27:48
  for
• 27:48
  some
• 27:48
  people
• 27:48
  who
• 27:48
  are
• 27:49
  afraid
• 27:49
  of
• 27:49
  language
• 27:50
  barrier
• 27:50
  in
• 27:50
  Asia.
• 27:51
  Yeah,
• 27:52
  absolutely.
• 27:52
  And
• 27:52
  we
• 27:52
  should
• 27:53
  point
• 27:53
  out
• 27:53
  that
• 27:53
  it
• 27:53
  is
• 27:54
  airfare.
• 27:55
  Getting
• 27:55
  there
• 27:55
  can
• 27:55
  be
• 27:55
  expensive,
• 27:56
  but
• 27:56
  from
• 27:56
  the
• 27:56
  North
• 27:56
  America
• 27:57
  because
• 27:57
  you'll
• 27:57
  have
• 27:58
  to
• 27:58
  fly
• 27:58
  to
• 27:58
  Manila
• 27:58
  and
• 27:58
  then
• 27:58
  you'll
• 27:59
  have
• 27:59
  to
• 27:59
  change
• 27:59
  to
• 27:59
  a
• 27:59
  domestic
• 28:00
  flight.
• 28:00
  But
• 28:00
  once
• 28:01
  you
• 28:01
  get
• 28:01
  there,
• 28:01
  things
• 28:01
  are
• 28:01
  pretty
• 28:02
  affordable.
• 28:02
  Although
• 28:02
  there
• 28:02
  are
• 28:03
  some
• 28:03
  luxury
• 28:03
  resorts
• 28:04
  that'll
• 28:04
  make
• 28:05
  you
• 28:05
  feel
• 28:05
  like
• 28:05
  a
• 28:05
  Hollywood
• 28:06
  star
• 28:06
  yourself
• 28:06
  when.
• 28:07
  When
• 28:07
  you're
• 28:07
  out
• 28:07
  there
• 28:08
  and
• 28:08
  pay
• 28:09
  like
• 28:09
  one
• 28:09
  too.
• 28:09
  Although
• 28:09
  actually
• 28:10
  probably
• 28:10
  the
• 28:10
  Hollywood
• 28:11
  star
• 28:11
  gets.
• 28:11
  A
• 28:11
  freebie,
• 28:12
  but
• 28:13
  they
• 28:13
  pay
• 28:13
  jack
• 28:13
  squat.
• 28:14
  Yeah,
• 28:15
  well,
• 28:15
  I
• 28:15
  can't
• 28:15
  believe
• 28:16
  we
• 28:16
  got
• 28:16
  through
• 28:16
  them
• 28:17
  all.
• 28:17
  Do
• 28:17
  either
• 28:18
  of
• 28:18
  you
• 28:18
  have
• 28:18
  a
• 28:19
  favorite
• 28:19
  among
• 28:20
  them?
• 28:20
  I
• 28:20
  think
• 28:20
  my
• 28:21
  favorite
• 28:22
  was
• 28:22
  Ulu,
• 28:23
  Finland.
• 28:24
  It
• 28:24
  just
• 28:24
  looks
• 28:24
  like
• 28:25
  such
• 28:25
  a
• 28:25
  quirky,
• 28:26
  fun
• 28:27
  place.
• 28:28
  I
• 28:28
  haven't
• 28:29
  been
• 28:29
  yet,
• 28:29
  but
• 28:29
  I'm
• 28:30
  dying
• 28:30
  to
• 28:30
  go
• 28:30
  now.
• 28:31
  Did
• 28:31
  either
• 28:31
  of
• 28:31
  you
• 28:32
  have
• 28:32
  a
• 28:32
  favorite?
• 28:33
  Jasper,
• 28:34
  I
• 28:34
  mean,
• 28:35
  my
• 28:35
  home
• 28:35
  state
• 28:35
  of
• 28:36
  Arkansas
• 28:36
  Hot
• 28:37
  Springs.
• 28:38
  I
• 28:38
  think
• 28:38
  I'd
• 28:39
  like
• 28:39
  to
• 28:39
  go
• 28:39
  to
• 28:39
  this
• 28:39
  place
• 28:39
  in
• 28:40
  the
• 28:40
  Philippines
• 28:41
  because
• 28:41
  it's
• 28:41
  a
• 28:41
  place
• 28:42
  I've
• 28:42
  never
• 28:42
  been.
• 28:43
  Yeah.
• 28:43
  All
• 28:44
  right.
• 28:44
  Well,
• 28:45
  you
• 28:45
  will
• 28:45
  find
• 28:46
  much
• 28:46
  to
• 28:47
  dream
• 28:47
  over
• 28:48
  in
• 28:48
  our
• 28:48

  to

  see
• 28:58
  the
• 28:59
  article.
• 28:59
  And
• 29:00
  I
• 29:00
  don't
• 29:00
  know
• 29:00
  if
• 29:00
  we
• 29:01
  discussed
• 29:01
  this
• 29:01
  at
• 29:01
  the
• 29:01
  very
• 29:02
  beginning,
• 29:02
  but
• 29:02
  nobody
• 29:03
  ever
• 29:03
  pays
• 29:03
  to
• 29:04
  be
• 29:04
  in
• 29:04
  our
• 29:04
  best
• 29:05
  places
• 29:05
  list.
• 29:06
  We're
• 29:06
  journalists,
• 29:07
  so
• 29:07
  we
• 29:07
  just
• 29:08
  tried
• 29:08
  to
• 29:08
  pick
• 29:08
  the
• 29:09
  places
• 29:09
  that
• 29:09
  we
• 29:10
  thought
• 29:10
  should
• 29:10
  be
• 29:11
  seen
• 29:11
  now
• 29:12
  because
• 29:12
  places
• 29:13
  are
• 29:13
  like
• 29:13
  wine.
• 29:14
  They
• 29:14
  have
• 29:14
  better
• 29:15
  years
• 29:15
  and
• 29:15
  worst
• 29:16
  years.
• 29:16
  And
• 29:17
  we
• 29:17
  think
• 29:18
  for
• 29:18
  these
• 29:18
  16
• 29:19
  places,
• 29:20
  now
• 29:20
  is
• 29:20
  the
• 29:21
  time
• 29:21
  to
• 29:21
  go
• 29:21
  with.
• 29:22
  Go
• 29:22
  to
• 29:22
  them.
• 29:23
  Thank

  I

  Are

• 30:59
  the
• 30:59
  lake
• 31:00
  oh
• 31:00
  but
• 31:01
  I
• 31:01
  hate,
• 31:01
  I
• 31:02

• 31:03
  I

• 31:05
  I
• 31:05
  hate
• 31:05
  the
• 31:05
  way
• 31:06
  it
• 31:06
  takes
• 31:18
  I
• 31:18
  can't
• 31:18
  get
• 31:19
  you
• 31:19
  off
• 31:19
  of
• 31:20
  my
• 31:20
  mind
• 31:22
  Looking
• 31:23
  out
• 31:24
  the
• 31:24
  window
• 31:25
  where
• 31:25
  we
• 31:25
  spent
• 31:25
  so
• 31:26
  much
• 31:26
  of
• 31:26
  our
• 31:27
  time
• 31:29
  Cause

  I

  miss
• 31:29
  the
• 31:30
  way
• 31:30
  it
• 31:30
  felt
• 31:33
  But
• 31:33
  I
• 31:33
  guess
• 31:34
  you
• 31:34
  can't
• 31:34
  control
• 31:35
  those
• 31:35
  damn
• 31:36
  cards
• 31:37

• 31:40
  both
• 31:40
  of
• 31:41
  us
• 31:41
  are
• 31:41
  happy
• 31:42
  when
• 31:42
  we're
• 31:43
  free
• 31:44
  but
• 31:44
  would
• 31:44
  it
• 31:45
  be
• 31:45
  so
• 31:45
  hard
• 31:46
  to
• 31:46
  find
• 31:47
  your
• 31:47
  freedom
• 31:48
  here
• 31:48
  with
• 31:48
  me?
• 31:51
  It's
• 31:51
  been
• 31:52
  so
• 31:52
  long
• 31:54
  and
• 31:54
  I
• 31:55
  cannot
• 31:55
  help
• 31:56
  but
• 31:56
  wonder
• 31:57
  Are
• 31:57
  you
• 31:57
  ever
• 31:58
  jumping.
