[English]

today

I'm going back to the UK

and you are coming with me

so let's travel and learn some English

[Music]

all right

we've arrived in London

got my coffee

got my suitcase

going to go to the center now and find my uncle

let's go

it's lovely British summertime

i'm with my uncle Lee

we're going to go get the tube

and explore London

all right here we are queens station

heading into the tube

i'm tapping my card and  walking through the barriers

the tube has arrived

the tube has arrived

we're getting on

now we're getting off

all right just coming out of the tube

and going onto the escalator

this is an escalator

please hold the handrail

this is a handrail

a police car with a flashing sirens

restaurant

a little girl in a pink hoodie  is chasing a pigeon and giggling

but the pigeon flew away

all right guys

the London Eye

the famous London Eye

this is called a carousel

you're riding the horses

and you spin round and round

and a bit of classic Britishness for you

fish and chips

love it

all right we are walking  by the famous River Thames

this is the River Thames

and the sun has come out to grace us

look how beautiful it is, London

there we have Big Ben

okay okay and if I flip the camera around

there we got the London Eye

these are pods or capsules

and this right here is a spiral staircase

street lamp

ice cream truck

and these people are waiting in a queue

a long queue

it's a gazebo

gazebo

photo booth

the London Dungeon

these are black cabs

cab is another word for taxi

so right now walking over

what's the name of the bridge?

Westminster Bridge

Westminster Bridge

and that is the Houses of Parliament

where all the politicians hang out and chat [ __ ]

we got some massive seagulls up here

this is Big Ben

not the clock tower but the bell inside

the clock tower is called Elizabeth Tower

the lady in the pink dress  is talking to a policeman

that's a double-decker bus

i love it

busy busy busy around here

there's a helicopter flying past

that's the Union Jack flag  at top the Westminster Palace

all right guys we have a red telephone box

i can

Oh no i can't open the door

it's locked

no one's home

right now we are walking to  Notting Hill via Portobello Road

and we're going to try find

where Hugh Grant had the  famous scene at the bookshop

in Notting Hill

so let's see if we can find it

you can see to my right hand side

we have a canal

there are some ducks swimming on the canal

there's graffiti on the wall

all right these are called narrow boats

one two three four ducks

they are perched on the edge of the canal

a male duck is called a drake

just like Drake the artist

all right check out what we have just spotted

this is a phone box turned cash machine

so come here and we're going to learn some English

i'm taking out my credit card or debit card

i'm inserting it into the slot

it says "Please enter your PIN."

So I'm going to type my PIN

if I can remember it

i'm going to withdraw 20 quid

in England we say quid

that means pounds

and this is a cash machine or an ATM

i'm taking my card putting it in my wallet

and there we go look at that

£20 British pounds

lovely

that is 20 quid

here we have some street art

now we are walking on Portobello Road

still not found Hugh Grant's bookshop yet

so more to come

we stopped in the deli for a quick snack

this is an aisle

these are tins and these are jars

uncle Lee is going to pay

this is a till

right that there is a market  with some market stalls

and here we have one of the  most famous bakeries in England

Gregs

all right this is a pharmacy

in the UK we say chemist

behind me the oldest cinema in London

all right we found it

the Notting Hill bookshop is where  they filmed the film Notting Hill

should we go inside

let's go in

[Music]

wow look at these donuts

yeah look unreal

jammy dodger

Gordon Jamsy

that's sick look at that the colorful houses

we call these terrace houses

which are houses built in  a row and joined together

so right now we're just cutting it a bit late

but we're going to head to King's Cross station

and go back to my hometown

let's go

can you guess where we're going?

just arrived at King's Cross

and going to find our train

but first let's look for the  Harry Potter 9 and 3/4 platform

that's where the people are queuing up

there it is

all right let's go in the shop

backpack no worries

harry Potter mugs

Gryffindor robe ones

hoodies

who needs to queue when you can see that there

all right that was cool

seen the Harry Potter shop

now time to get the train

we have the departure board

these are where you get your tickets

ticket machines

these are the barriers

all right this is where you scan your ticket

got my ticket here and we go through the barriers

right here we are on the train platforms

walking to our train

we made it

but there we have the clock

the train is on my right

we are walking to our carriage

getting on the train p

[Music]

wagging his tail

i love you

hello fella

look who we have here Lenny

say hello Lenny

hello can you speak some English

i am feeling very jet-lagged

very tired from all my travels

but there's one feeling I  want to leave you guys with

and this feeling is serene

it means peaceful and calm

as today was a travel episode  where is your dream destination

where would you love to travel  to in the future and why

let me know in the comments i'm curious to know

and I will respond to every single one of you

as always thank you for watching

much love

peace

see you soon
