In today's video, I will teach all of you city vocabulary.

Can you tell me what city I'm in right now? Right now, I'm in Miami, Florida.

But first, you need to know the difference between a city and a downtown. A city is a large town. And a downtown area is the busiest area of the city, with large and tall buildings, restaurants, and shops.

Behind me is Downtown Miami, and you can see the beautiful skyline. But right now, I'm in the city, and I will show you guys and explore the beautiful city of Miami.

Miami is a huge city that is surrounded by a large body of water called the Atlantic Ocean. But right behind me, this is Biscayne Bay. It is a small inlet of the Atlantic Ocean. A bay is a shallow area of water where you can find water taxis or large boats that are docked or tied up at the dock right here.

That is a dock. It is used for unloading or loading, so you can walk on the boat and you can walk off the boat. And a pier is over there; it is used for recreational activities, and you can walk around all the restaurants and shops.

Right now, I'm at the dock area, but I'm going to move over there and walk to the pier. This is Pier Five. It is called a pier because it is a walkway over water. And at the pier, you can do fun and recreational activities like walk along the pier, go to different restaurants, and visit all the shops they have at the pier.

So I'm going to walk on the pier and show you something really cool. At the Miami Pier, you can find this large structure. Can you tell me what it's called? This is called a Ferris wheel. Have you ever been on a Ferris wheel? Or, do you have a Ferris wheel in your city or town? Let me know down below.

Right next to the Ferris wheel, there is a large body of water called the Atlantic Ocean. And in the ocean, you can find lots of wildlife and fish. A lot of people in Miami, Florida, like to do a lot of water activities. So you can go on a boat ride, you can go on a yacht, you can go jet skiing, and you can even go on a huge ship or boat called a cruise ship. That is a cruise ship behind me. We're gonna go check it out later.

But right now, I'm going to show you guys another part of the city. Right next to the pier, there is a large pathway where you can walk around and shop at the different shops and stores they have here. Right behind me, there is a souvenir store where you can find things that say "Miami" all over it. So you can buy things at this store and take them home and be reminded of all the memories you made in Miami.

At this store, you can find magnets that you can put on your fridge. This is a magnet. And you can also find keychains that you can put on your keys. And everything in the store says "Miami, Florida." Most touristic cities will have souvenir stores. So here they have a bunch of shirts that say "Miami." Since we're next to the beach, the Atlantic Ocean, a lifeguard is a person who saves lives, so this is why they sell a lifeguard sweatshirt.

When it gets really hot and humid in Miami, a great way to refresh and cool down is to buy a piña colada. And right now in Cincinnati, Ohio, my hometown, it's 10∘F, and in Miami, it's the middle of the winter and it's 80∘F. So you can buy a cool and refreshing drink and cool down with a piña colada.

I was walking around and look what I found! I found a beautiful Macaw bird. This is a majestic bird, and now one is on my head. Oh my goodness!

You're gonna have more birds on your head. How cool!

This is really cool.

And now a Macaw is on my shoulder. Now I have two Macaws on both shoulders.

After walking around the pier, I'm hungry, and now I wanna grab something to eat. So behind me, I'm going to eat at this restaurant called La Industria. Here in Miami, there are a lot of restaurants inspired by the Latin American community. So you'll see a lot of people eating food from Venezuela like arepas, empanadas from Argentina, and here they sell food from Puerto Rico. This restaurant is owned by Nicky Jam. He's a Latin American singer, and now I'm really hungry. Come along with me, let's go inside and check out the menu.

I ordered tostones, which is basically a fried plantain, and there's shredded chicken and meat on top of it. Now let's take a bite. It's good!

Hi, what is your name?

My name is Sebastian.

Hi Sebastian. So he's going to offer me a boat ride, and we're going to be going on a boat in the middle of Miami. So what am I going to see on this boat ride?

Right now we have the pirate ship that is sailing at 3:30 p.m. It's hour and 20 minutes going through all the celebrities' mansions. They're going to reach PortMiami, the Biscayne Bay, South Beach, Miami Beach, all the private islands where the celebrities' mansions are located. But you know what? They're gonna go on the pirate ship, the most iconic boat in Miami.

And how much does it cost to go on a pirate ship?

Well actually it's for $30, but we have an offer on weekdays that it's only for $25 per person.
