No no, keep up the "beep beep" in America, it's a necessity.
Also I don't think I have ever laughed harder than I did at the "stair restaurant" bit.
Coming to Italy and not visit Rome should be a crime
Red's hair being long as fuck was something I should've expected, but somehow, I didn't
If you live in the US and can't travel to Europe, (as someone who has been to Europe twice) the places I felt the most cool history in the US are St. Augustine FL, Savanna GA and Charleston SC.
A long weekend trip to those places is really cool!
I'm from Padova. Never seen this channel before. The algorythm did its thing and I will do mine. Have a view and a like. Hope you enjoyed your stay
Hi, Napolitan here. I’m not used to hear americans speak Italian in such a perfect way. Complimenti a voi
cool
You're thoughts on how Venice is only something you make unless you have to reminded me of Water 7 from One Piece, which is unsurprising since Oda took direct inspiration from Venice for the city of Water 7. But the fact that Water 7 LITERALLY is doomed to sink one day and the citizen only live there because sailing the Grand Line is super dangerous was probably inspired by Oda getting a similar vibe from Venice you did made me realize how much he takes from real life when making his wild ass worldbuilding.
Can I just say, you've pretty obviously gotten a lot more confident in your sing'n'playing since you first started, and rightly so. Great video, lovely singing at the end, wish I'd been able to try that hot chocolate.
I think it's funny that Red and my friend never left the us until 2023
Ah ah, you should google my university.
Università degli Studi di Trieste.
That's veeeeeeeeery 1930's!!!
Look Red, I get your whole "white guilt" angle, but as someone from a country whose past makes the US's look like super weenie hut jr's, the idea that the US looks towards the future because it is embarrassed of its past rings pretty hollow.
I think, if anything, it's more the dubiously named "American Exceptionalism" at work. The idea that the past is never anything but a stepping stone for the future and that eyes must always be cast forward 24/7. In order for this outlook to be based on guilt, the people who constructed it must have felt that guilt in the first place, which absolutely was not the case. They were proud of the genocides, if they even recognized them as such.
To Red's language really similar thing happened to me (A chinese) when I went to japan for a while: I don't understand an inch of japanese but the language borrowed a ton of words and concepts from chinese in their writing system, so I just ended up piecing together what all the signs were saying as they were essentially partially chinese with some weird wording.
Next trip in Paris, where she'll steal the Gioconda because it didnt have a price tag.
Is illusion painting Trompe l'Oeil ?
1930's Italy?! Oh noes! I wonder what that reminds me off… Certainly not a regime type reminiscent of anything going on currently as in roght this minute on the narrator's native country! I'm just saying, my dudes. We feel the same when visiting the South and going all like – hey, is this where they had that crow related legal thingie?
Not the Church donation candle stealing lol. Things you and me when I was a child had in common lmao.
Reparations for the Vatican… C'mon, mate. That's like saying the Vatican will need to take reparations from Israel for all of those bombed churches.
As a guy that lived all his life in Vicenza and has followed your videos for a ton of time I'm incredibly stoked that you chose to come around here when visiting Italy.
And so disappointed I did not meet you guys by chance T_T. Ciao!
BEEP BEEP!
I burst out laughing in my bedroom. I'm sure you all found this absolutely hilarious that this worked
Aside from tourists and the staggering housing prices, Venice basically floods every couple months which is arguably the main reason people don't like living there 👍🏻
They did put a day tax (€5 a day per person) on people visiting during high season to help maintain the parts that are kinda falling apart though
Italia
Going to a staircase restaurant with someone in a wheelchair is some kind of cruel 😂
Ok, non finisco la visione perché stanca dei commenti ignoranti di questa signora che dovrebbe restarsene nel suo meraviglioso Paese enon venire più..
non mi rendo mai conto di quanto sono fortunato a stare qua
Yes Red, Europeans love their cigarettes. But it changes from country to country how much of it is actually in your face. Italians love a cigarette with their morning coffee but during the day don’t smoke that much.
I feel honoured that one of my favourite channels visited my home city of Verona.
Spero vi sia piaciuta
Listening to this video while doing groceries IN PADOVA is hilarious.
Oh you guys went to where I live, cool
~~inb4 we walked by each other~~
8:54 oh Hey I live there
Padua also has some delicious horse meat restaurants.. That cross-ponders find oddly offensive.
This was weird to watch😂😂… I lived those cities, I never saw them from a tourist eye, especially Vicenza 😂😂
oh boy, hearing all those comments about the 1930s and history, you would have had an absolute blast in bologna if that was one of your stops.
let's just say that bologna has… some peculiar politics.
on the other hand there's places in the south that ARE completely ancient(not hundreds, thousands of years old) and at the same time as lived as they physically can be, so that too would have thrown you for a loop.
Oooooh man, Padova has a veritable ICBM of nerdy tourists incoming…
13:52
>Mentions she has Jewish heritage
>Immediately talks about stealing church donation candles
>Excuses and justifies her blunder has "reparations"
What did Red mean by this
Also
15:23
>Previously promised to never steal from churches again
>Notices a holy water basin
>Immediately breaks her promise to take holy water (it is free to take but she didn't know and already presumed she was stealing)
What DID Red mean by this?
everytime i see a video or picture of red and or blue irl i am reminded of how perfectly red manages to capture their essences in her drawings. like its insane
It feels weirdly satisfying to see that so many of the places I picked out for my family's trip to Italy were also selected by Blue. Also, I completely feel you on never being able to go back to drink mix hot chocolate after having it in Venice. It's so good and even the recipes I've found only come close.
3:41 it's big tobacco's fault! if rolled cigs were the norm for most ppl it would be at least a very bearable smell
I went to the Doje's palace when my girl scout troop took a tour of Europe in high school and Italy was the last country we hit, we were in the middle of a record breaking heat wave, and I was exhausted. I'm not gonna lie, I was not that impressed. I was very bored by our tour and mostly just wishing I could go back to the hotel and take nap. It wasn't until years later that I started to appreciate the history of Venice and I began kicking myself for not understanding at the time how incredible that experience actually was. Wish I could go back.
9:15 KISS FROM A ROSE MENTION KISS FROM A ROSE MENTION THREE JOKERS ARE DANCING IN MY MIND PALACE
As a British girl who grew up in an old Roman city near London, it never really occurred to me that to people in the US, the past just isn’t something you see. I live a 20 minute walk from Roman ruins and the school I attend was built in the 1790s, I frequently see houses upwards of 500 years old that my friends live in without anyone even giving it a second thought because that’s just how it is here (though obviously there are lots of much newer places). Though I’ve been to the USA and Canada, it somehow never occurred to me how I never saw anything that really shows the real history of a place, because in London they’ll have buildings from every era since the 8th or 9th century, even if the history behind it is uncomfortable (which, given the British Empire, it often is). I’m glad you enjoyed Italy, it’s such a beautiful country. Hopefully next time you go to Europe, you go to the UK, there are so many places across the country that I imagine you (as well as Blue and Cyan) would enjoy! Though the trains are atrociously expensive and somewhat useless in certain places.
I have not been so wildly jealous of someone else's experience for a long while!
4:31 Red really pulled off a 13th warrior.
10:05 hey Blue you wanna explain the Italian Stargate?
as an italian, if you wish to come back to italy visit sicliy or the south in general, it has a lot of greek culture in a few sites 😀
(also his pronounciation of carta bianca was good :D)
Cool trip! Reds perspective on the differences of Europe was super valuable as someone who has really only went to Europe!
