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

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. Let's, let's have a look, let's have a look. What's the weather like? What is the weather like now in Sydney? Yeah, Sydney, Australia. Yeah, Sydney, Australia, not Sydney, Germany.

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.

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