    Eat that, don't eat this. Do this, like that, don't do this like that. And so on, and so on, and so on. I am going to give you some rules now. I'm going to give you some rules about one country, about one country. I wonder, I wonder if you can guess what country it is, what country I'm talking about, I am talking about.

    So in this country the rule is, just don't shake hands, don't shake hands over the threshold, threshold, this place, this line in the door, don't ever shake hands. Why? No idea, actually. Bad luck, bad luck. Don't do that in this country, don't ever do it.

    And when you visit somebody, when you visit somebody at their place, at their place take off your shoes, take off your shoes Don't wear your shoes inside, don't wear your shoes inside. Just take off, take off your shoes, really. That's a big, big rule in this country.

    And celebrate, celebrate, not just your birthday, celebrate, not just your birthday, but choose a day in the year, choose a day in the year to celebrate your name day, name day. So celebrate your name day. Sometimes maybe celebrate it a few times over the year, over the year. That would be, that would be fantastic. No, it's just one, it is just one. So celebrate the name day and invite your friends over and get a lot of gifts.

    Yeah, and eat your dinner, eat your main meal, eat your dinner, main meal around two, three p.m., two, three p.m. That is your main meal, eat your main meal, have your main meal around two, three p.m. That's the best time to do that. So do it, eat your dinner quite early, two, three p.m.

    Okay, and one more rule in this country. I love it, I love this rule. So whenever, whenever you feel it's your bad day and something doesn't quite work out, doesn't work out, doesn't go your way, doesn't go your way, so it is a bad day, say, just say, oh, it's bad air pressure, bad air pressure. It must be the air pressure, it's too high, it's too high, so high air pressure. Or you just say, oh, the pressure today is so low, I feel horrible, I feel horrible. This is because of the air pressure in the atmosphere, in the atmosphere.

    So say it and put all the blame, all the blame on the air pressure. It's not your fault. Oh, for example, for example, you fail your exam, you fail your exam, so your exam, your exam doesn't go as planned, well, that's not your fault, that's not your fault, come on, it is not. That's the air pressure, come on, it's the air pressure today, horrible air pressure, yeah.

    Or your team, your favourite team doesn't win, must be the pressure, must be the air pressure, of course. Why not, yeah, why not? The air pressure, obviously the air pressure, and so on and so on. This is very, very convenient, very comfortable, convenient to say that. Love this, I love, I say that all the time, all the time.

    So if you follow these rules in this country, you will feel at home, you will feel at home. So always, always, always think about these strange rules, maybe they are not that strange. I'm sure you have the rules like that, or maybe you don't, I don't know.

    So what country is it? What country is it? If you are not sure, if you are not sure by now, just go back to my previous, previous episodes, previous episodes. I'm sure you'll know that. Yeah, good luck with that, good luck.

    Well, I'm sure, I am sure it is possible, I'm sure it is possible. It is a little difficult because it is a little far, maybe, and a little hard to get to, it is a little hard to get to, but I believe it is also, it is also worth it, it is worth it.

  • Luke Likes 'The Worst Traveller'

    The worst traveller ever. I want to talk in English, obviously, in English, about the worst, the worst traveller ever, the worst traveller of all time. That's me.

    First of all, first of all, I don't really travel much, I don't really travel, but when I do, I am the worst, I am really the worst ever. When I was a child, when I was a child, I learned, I learned the capitals of the world, and I love it. And, I'm the worst traveller.

    My favourite book of all time, I have it, I have it all the time with me, I carry that with me in my bag, is 'A Lonely Planet's Ultimate Travel Quiz Book'. 2,000 questions about every corner, corner of the world. And, I'm the worst traveller, I am, really am.

    Let me explain, let me explain.

    Well, it takes me, it takes me ages, it takes me ages to choose, choose the destination, the destination, it takes ages. Oh my god. Then, it takes even more, even more to book the accommodation, the accommodation, compare, compare the price. It takes forever, it takes forever.

    Then, time to pack, oh my god. I need everything. T-shirt? Ten, I need ten. Hey, backpack or suitcase? I take both, I take both, yeah really. So luggage, all luggage in the world, all luggage in the world, I'm the worst traveller ever.

    Then, the journey, my journey, oh my, oh my. I need my stuff, I need my stuff. I need my cushion. I think I need my sleeping bag also. Even when, even when we are staying in a hotel, I don't care, I don't care. I take it, I take it anyway, anyway. I'm the worst traveller ever.

    And then I want to see all, all the tourist attractions, all of them, all of them. So I need my guidebook, guidebook, not the internet, no, no, no. I need my book and go from point A to point B, from point B to point C. I want to know everything. I am so, so, so bad. All the sights, all the attractions, all the monuments, all the museums, all the galleries, just everything.

    And try the local food? Nope. I have my food, my sandwiches, my food, my food. And then buy, I buy the cheap, bad, really, really bad, souvenir, souvenir. I want that, I want the cheap plastic, bad, ugly, souvenir. That's me.

    When it comes to, when it comes to accommodation, accommodation and the apartment, the apartment, the hotel, I want my bed, I want my bed, really. I want my sofa, so I miss my sofa, I miss my desk, I miss my desk really bad. And the thing that I want the most is to come back, because the best part of travelling for me is to come back. Because I'm the worst traveller ever.

    So, don't ever travel with me, don't ever. But I love it, I love it, sure, why not.

If you want to, if you want to complain, complain about something, here you are - complain about the weather, complain about the weather. I'm not going to, I'm not going to do that. Just a little bit maybe, just a little bit.

    Alright, so imagine that, imagine that. I wake up today, I wake up today. I go out in the morning, I go out in the morning and I tell myself, I tell myself 'where is my car? Where is, where is my car? I can't see it, I can't see my car. Where is it? Well, there it is, there, there it is, there it is, over here. There it is, under that big, white, soft pile of snow, snow, oh. A lot, a lot of snow. All white, all white.

    Because it's winter time, it's winter time. Not in calendar, but outside, outside. A lot of snow, big surprise for everyone, for everyone. And for me too, so this is winter. It's cold and snowy, but a little bad, but a little bad part is that, is that the days are so, so short, so short. And the night and the evening are so long. I can't see the sun, I can't see the sun. All day long, all day long, I can't see the sun, and that's not so good. So winter time. Thank God, thank God,we have Christmas coming, we have Christmas coming.

    After that, after that, the spring. Around March, April, March, April, it is much better. It is much better, and a lot more, a lot more sun, a lot more light, and the days are not so short. So it is warm, but not hot. Rainy from time to time, that is spring. And the best part is when the plants start blooming, blooming, yeah, it is wonderful, wonderful, over here.

    The summer time is full of sun, the summer time is full of sun, long, long days, hot, hot days, and warm nights and evenings as well. So people hang out, outside, hang out outside much longer, much longer, and it is a lot, a lot of fun, a lot of fun.

    Finally, my favourite autumn, or fall, autumn, fall, around September, autumn, fall. It is also, it is also wonderful, wonderful, because it has all those colours, all those colours - brown, red and yellow. It looks just like a picture, like a picture.

    The days are not as short as in winter, and it is not as hot as in the summer, so everyone, everyone should be happy about this, everyone should be happy. I'm not sure, I am not sure, if they are actually, if they are actually, but me, I love that season.

    Four seasons, I have to say, I have to say that all seasons have something to offer. Well, maybe November is really, really tough, really tough over here. But I'm not complaining, not complaining at all, not.

    And then he gets dressed, gets dressed. He never skips breakfast, never. So he has breakfast every day, oatmeal with nuts, fruit and things like that. Very light breakfast, very tasty, very tasty. This is the perfect, perfect time to revise, revise some language, revise some language.

    He doesn't, he does not, he doesn't, he doesn't have time for coffee or tea because he leaves home, he leaves home and quickly jumps, he jumps into his car, into his car and on his way, on his way he listens to podcasts, conversations because it's a perfect situation for languages, perfect situation to listen, to listen and understand, understand.

    Then lessons, he starts his lessons at 8, at 8am, at 8am every day. That's so early for me. At 8am. He has classes with his students, classes with his students, then a break, a short coffee break, around 10, 11. Then some more lessons. He has lunch and this is also some time for language, learning and preparing, preparing some classes later in the day.

    He comes back to work at around 3pm and he has some more work to do. So he works with his students, he works with his students Sometimes he is very proud, he is very proud and his mood, his mood is up. But sometimes, not often, sometimes, from time to time, not often, sometimes his mood is really, really down because his students don't do the work, don't do the work, they don't study enough. That's bad.

    Okay, anyway, anyway, anyway, around 6pm he has another short break, another short break for something to eat and also he has his evening green tea. Then after that the last, the last round of lessons, the last round of lessons at about 7pm. At about 7pm some more lessons with his students, sometimes good, sometimes not as good, and he finishes in the evening quite late, quite late.

    He comes back, he comes back home at around 9, 10pm, 9, 10pm. But this is some fun time, fun time with languages, studying, listening, speaking and reading. A lot of fun but a little late, a little late.

    And at the top right corner, there is a straight street, and there is a cinema. There is a cinema, a theatre, and cultural centre, cultural centre over there. And on the right, you go down the hill, you go down the hill, and there is a food market, food market.

    Are you still with me? I know, I know, I know. It is very confusing. It is very confusing, but stay with me, stay with me. Yeah.

    So there is a square, and in the middle, just in the middle of the square, there is a café. There is a café where you can buy ice cream, cakes, and wonderful, wonderful pistachio croissant. I really, really recommend it.

    In front of the square, there is the main street, there is the main street. And if you, if you go right, you go down this street to the river, go to the river, and there is, there is a bridge.

    On the left, there is a bus station, there is a bus station. There are a lot of people over there. It is a very busy place. And on the right, there is the river area, the river area. Small alleys, playgrounds, and places like that. It is very lively, it is very lively in the summer time, and also in the winter time.

    And we are done, we are done.

    So look carefully, look carefully at your picture, your postcard. So there is this place, there is this place in front of you, in your postcard. I'm sure it isn't perfect. There are many, many things you could do better, and maybe it doesn't look, doesn't look very nice, does it?

    Because that's exactly, exactly my town, the postcards from my town, my imperfect town.

    Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

    I have a lie, I have a lie for you today, a big, big lie. The lie is that I work at the office, at the office and I go there, I go over there every day. Well, from Monday to Friday, in the morning, to work, hard work, at the office.

    So I get out of my place, get out of my place and get into the car, get into, get into the car. On my way I meet my neighbour and his dog. Hi neighbour! Hi neighbour's dog!

    And then I get to the train station, get to, get to the train station. It takes me, it takes, it takes me around 10 minutes to get to the station. So I get on the train, get on, get on the train and get to the big city, the big city.

    I get off, get off, get off the train, I get off the train after around 40, 45 minutes, 40, 45 minutes. So I get off the train and I'm a little late now. So I run, run like a madman, through the station, run through the station and get out, get out of, get out of the station and go across the street. I go across, go across the street.

    Just, I just walk, well run, I run but the shortest, the shortest way is through the park. So I get into, get into the park, get into the park and I go around, go around the small pond, pond. Say hello to the ducks, obviously. Hi ducks!

    And over the foot bridge, over the bridge, I go over the bridge. And then past, I go past, I go past the playground and then I go down, I go down a small, a small hill and get out of the park.

    So I go left and go past some houses on the left. Yeah, go past some houses. Now I'm really late, so I run, I run along the street, along the street. And then down, I go down the street on the left and I get to the office. At last, finally, I get to the office. I go upstairs and to my desk.

    It takes me around one hour to get to the office. I work very hard and then get back from work, from work. Somehow, somehow, don't know why, it takes 30 minutes to get back, it's really fast.

    So I get out of the office, down the street, into the park and up the hill, run up the hill, I'm so late, up the hill. Go past the playground and over the bridge, I go around the pond. Say hello to the ducks, obviously. Hi ducks! And out of the park. then run across the street and to the station. I run through the station, I'm so late now, and I get to my town and get off the train, get into the car, get back to my place.

    On my way, I meet the neighbour and his dog. Hi neighbour! Hi neighbour's dog! And, I'm here.

    So, that's my big, big lie. How do you get, how do you get to your place? How do you get to your office, from your office?

    Is it a big, big lie?

    Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

    A map for today, I have a map for today, just a little bit. So, I live in a small town, I love it, I love it. And why? Well, many reasons. There are many reasons.

    Well, first of all, first of all, I like it, because it is not that big, it is not that big, so whatever you want is here, within, within, within 10, 15 minutes. For example, you want to see a film, you want to see, you want to see a film? No problem. 5 minute walk, and you are at the cinema. You want a supermarket? Well maybe not a super-market, but a big shop. No problem. Just a 10 minute walk maybe, and you are there. You can buy whatever you like.

    I like that you can go to the big city, to the big city, anytime you want, and it doesn't take a lot of time. It doesn't. It gives me headache sometimes when I visit the capital of Poland. Yeah.

    I love the river, I love the river area, where you can spend some time, some free time, and maybe hang out with your friends and family, I like that.

    Also, there are a few cafes over here, a few restaurants as well, a few restaurants.There is a food market, small local shops, a small theatre, but for me, it's really cool that we have a few basketball courts and tennis courts, so it's fun for me, it is. Oh we also have a swimming pool, a swimming pool and a lot of gyms, a lot of gyms. People do that over here. So, there is a hospital, there are playgrounds for kids, and I think plenty of work for people.

    I feel comfortable over here, I feel comfortable. And I like the fact, I like the fact that it's an old town, it's an old place, and although, although it was destroyed, destroyed, it was destroyed a long time ago, a long, a long time ago, it's still here, it's still here. It makes me feel, it makes me feel proud and strong.

    It's not the biggest, it's not the prettiest, the prettiest, and not the happiest, not the happiest, but it is my place.

    What about your place?

    Is it a town?

    Is it a city?

    Is it a small, small island, somewhere?

    Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
