Alright so here comes swell this is the clean tone
so if I get this get these instructions what they're telling me
you have two separate drives you have
the first drive which is more of a boost then you have the second drive which is
really the cranker so I think that it has a boost circuit then goes into the
tube on the inside which is a standard 12 ax7 and I think that's what drives
this the second drive which you activate from the button here which makes it way
crunchier, way dirtier, way more like a tube so drive one drive one is your
boost you have a level and a tone drive two with this button is I believe your
tube so let's check her out..... uh again,
Clean tone
this is just drive one we'll put the level, at noon tone a noon, drive at noon
Kind of um... tubedriver-y
but like not it's just it's got a character of its own I guess
Turn the drive up, keep the level... at noon
Let's put the tone up...
level just seems like a general volume control
maybe that's you know... you know the amount of signal that's going
into the driver so let's turn the level down and turn the drive back to noon
so it seems like after you get past it's actually driving the first drive more so
let's keep the tone at like... I don't know three o'clock-ish
We'll turn it down in a second and then let's put drive two at noon
Annnnnnd, Kick it in!
so now let's start by cranking drive one into drive 2 and then we'll do the other
way around so crank drive one
so let's turn dr1 back to new and let's crank drive too
let's drive one into two
more like a stocks nature so let's keep drive to up let's try look roll drive on
waiter
I'd actually like that a little bit more
all right so let's try it the other way around
crank this bad boy put the sub back to about nine o'clock this thing cranks
when they're both cranks
it's doing like a little compression anything I don't know some kind of like
the real charm of this thing is in is in the higher tones so that's the drives up
let's just you know roll back
forgive my horrible something but yeah swell

STRANGEST PLAYER EVER FOUND in Clash Royale!!
Yo, what's going on guys my name's eclipse and today, we're back on the Kulik big god account
It's been quite some time since we were last playing this now you guys know
This is a clickbait god tradition whenever I feature this account in a video
We just always make a new clan now one disclaimer this account is extremely inactive
I haven't played on it in 37 days, so if you want to join this clan
I'm about to make you're never gonna see me online, but if you want to join join
Closing my eyes, and we're gonna fake of that flag right there a little diamond and the name is gonna be
Open zero trophies and for the location. Let's pick
Boom right there. Oh my god
I just picked this booty completely random
but if you like to Bodi
Join the clan now the main purpose of today's video is to just play on the clickbait god account because I do miss playing on
A lower skill level account as far as the debt goes
I made some random graveyard deck is a good who knows we're about to figure out so getting right into the first battle
We're against already Dorn Elias
I don't I don't know his name
But he's a level 8 were a level 9 so we definitely have an advantage in this battle
Hopefully his cards aren't that good
I'm just trying to come out here and smash some people and if you're new to my channel or if you've never even seen this
Account whenever I play as the clickbait cod
We always are extremely cocky, so I'm gonna start laughing right now those fire spirits aren't gonna do too much
I'll get this app and boom take that out. We have a pool push on that tower
They try to zap me, but it is not gonna work out that tower on the left
Just got murked by the clickbait god, and he already has another valkyrie somehow
I don't know if he mirrored that or what but I feel like he just cycled
extremely quick quickly oh my god that night plays I
Can't speak Mon that night placement was awful there. We go
Oh boys boys boys I'm sitting at 10 elixir
I really don't know what to do so Dark Prince on the right side screw that wizard
He's about to go down so at this point. Let's just go all in oh
God, okay, we should take that wizard out
Oh the iSchool miss down as well all he's doing some serious work on that right tower
The ice golem did come in clutch now the Dark Prince is gonna
Get some hits on that tower as well, but jeez he really just caught me off guard there and one thing
I just realized is I didn't tell you guys why I have a big blanket around me pretty much here in Illinois the weather is
Extremely awful right now. It's rainy out. It's freezing. It's starting to get cold and overall
It's just like really depressing outside, so I was just snuggled up in my room watching some Netflix
And I'm like you know
We got a record the video today because I wasn't being too productive so if you're curious why I have this big blanket just
Understand I was cold and I wanted it now
I'm pretty sure we made the enemy give up in this battle, so a rather easy win for us
And we're starting the video off rather strong so Letty tour now is you're pretty bad at the game
You know your rage quit on a serious note. I don't actually mean they're bad
I feel stupid that I have to justify that but some people are like eclipse you're really rude sometimes
And like it's a joke the clickbait god
is cocky
Take a joke you guys are ruining the clan already this clan is not supposed to be public and I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
We have to make the clan. Oh god. Let's make it closed for now
Oh
Hey grant, um. This is gonna be a cut here. Um you can even use a transition if you want
Oh crap okay, so the strangest thing just happened. I don't know how
Okay, so the strangest thing just happened
I was just checking my phone on Twitter and someone sent me a tweet saying search up this clan right here and
View this strange players, so this is the clan Iranian warrior
It's the second one with the heart and when you click on this look at this guy's name
What the hell his name is a whole bunch of random white squares
I don't know how he did this I've never seen this before but it looks really funny
And I thought oh you would like that as well and on top of all that it also makes for a pretty good
Collective eight video okay so with all of that out of the way, let's hop into another battle
I'm telling you we're gonna be out here absolutely marking some noobs so medtech from pro team
You're about to be on the team losing team because I'm about to toss two let's laugh
Oh god giant skeleton easy counter look at this
We're always got the princess as well so that giant skeleton is going down as far as all this goes
Let's get ourselves a dark goblin race there. It should lock on to the princess
Okay, let's get a dark Prince right here. I'm thinking that should be good
I could have probably used an inferno dragon
But I'm hoping the Dark Prince is gonna take care of this giant skeleton and then run backwards into those barbarians
Perfect just as planned as far as that goes. Oh god. Okay? We're still good right now
We are straight showing right now guys unfortunately one barb is gonna make it onto my tower
So yes that is definitely unfortunate, but we're doing pretty good right now as far as that electro wizard goes
I don't think we will need these sites golem. I don't know why I said this like that
Oh well kind of weird, but let's get ourselves the peashooter down the knight of top is doing an absolute boatload of damage
Let's get ourselves a graveyard down. I don't know what that place
Absolutely awful placement, and I thought the dark goblin was gonna go up as well, but we have a naked graveyard up there
And it's doing pretty well like we got some solid
Damage off in that short amount of time and as far as this little guy goes screw you giant skeleton
I probably am gonna need the knight so pull him back right there
He's trying to pull some slick moves with this app spell so screw officer and as far as your
Princess goes she is gonna. Get wiped out as well will the infernal dragon connect to the tower
Unfortunately not but both of his towers are relatively low so we can pretty much choose which tower
We want to go for obviously the one on the left is lower, so I'm thinking we go all out for that side
Let's get an ice cool and ready balling that up
I'm thinking we get the pea shooter down and then let's also get a graveyard down as well
We can actually get a poison on that also so this is a pretty solid push. We have going right here
I am gonna get a zap ready and actually no need for his zap at all
Let's get ourselves a Dark Prince down as well
I probably should have put the Dark Prince back a
Little bit more so that way he could have got a little boost but right there
We have the giant skeleton going the wrong direction. We destroyed his tower, and his princess is dead this poor guy
Just can't seem to do too much right here, okay?
Let's get the poison down and let's also get a Dark Prince down as well
We just countered his push again in so far things are going
Relatively easy for some reason he tried to put a clone spell down on that didn't really work out too. Well but right here
Repaint with that ice woman brought the giant skeleton backwards
and then we had a graveyard on the tower so again another pretty easy win these people they just
Can't keep up with the quick bay God, and this guy was a level 9
So this battle is more fair than the previous one and I'm gonna say
Thanks a few times just to be a cock. I'm an ass. Sorry. You know. I just think we're too good for this game
Let's do it two versus two do I have anything I have no friend
I just thought of a genius idea, so let's post our friend link to Twitter. Um let me change this real quickly
I'm probably gonna regret regret
dog
Go
Okay, this is gonna be the worst decision of my life
My friends list is probably gonna fill up in a matter of seconds
I probably shouldn't have done this alleged 27. This is the first guy we are gonna battle with the legend 27
Oh, my god. Okay. We are at like 1 2 3 4 5 ok
I don't even know old legend 20 70s in a battle right now. I was supposed to battle with you. Dude. What are you doing?
Honestly, my thoughts are all over the place right now, but let's just send out a random battle
Supercell do we want a battle with supercell? No ok, let's let's find someone else who looks like a trustworthy
Partner Big Mama jerky ok I'm feeling that one. Let's go big mom, but we're gonna pound her
Oh your doors is drove ok he's taking too long
Cancelling that bad ok cancel dude. I know they cancel buttons broken by this is a whole new level of broken
Oh my god. You guys are breaking my clash Royale. I can't even cancel my battle right now
You see what is going on how many people are on my friends list 42 in just a matter of like seconds
Let's go with Daniel Daniel sounds like a nice guy. Hopefully he accepts this battle
If not, we're gonna have to send like our fourth friendly battle out
I'm just trying to get a simple battle in here nothing too hard
Cancelling yet again another battle. I don't know why no one wants to accept these battles
Maybe they're trying to like they just can't I don't really know what's going on right now
We have a lot of friends already. Um let's choose. You don't supercell ok
Oh, I can't battle supercell ok what oh Carlos sent me a battle ok
I was actually thinking about inviting this guy previously
But I never did so since Carlos is such a nice guy him and I are gonna go up against a level tank
Kick in the battle off with a knight in the very. Oh god. I did it. I did it who do we do
Oh my god. The mecha Knights are straight beasts getting the peashooter down as well. We are shutting this guy out
Let's get oh my god
This counter push is in
There is no way we are about to write them this early on he put a table Merrill kind of where princess was maybe not
The best decision, but we are not here to judge today. Oh
No
Yeah, sure, let's go for it. Please go
That was that was really bad guys, so we're gonna put the knight down right there
Hopefully the executioner will throw his axe towards the night that didn't work out, too
Hot so this battle is off to somewhat of a rough start, but we're not gonna give up
We're gonna give this our all there's 20 people watching this match right now Jesus guys
I have a lot of pressure on me. Not only are all of you watching this video
We have some live spectators in on this match as well, so this is pretty
Hype look at all the people watching we have a whole bunch of confetti down this battle is gonna be intense
I'm hoping we can come in and win though so far like we've been killing it in this video
And I just want to keep that. Hype up princess piss off stop shooting my princess, please okay
What do we do here necessarily? I'm gonna put a dark. I went down right there
Let's also put an inferno dragon down on the Pekka all God. I probably should oh, they have a poison spell
Let's save this. Let's save this so boom get out here. Okay, that Tower is kind of rip right now
Please zap quick quick mega night approaching the tower. It's gonna be doing something big. It is on top
Let's get ourselves that poisons fall down screw all those goblins that Tower is
Absolutely done. He did activate his scheme to our part
It doesn't even matter we destroy the tower anyways and right now should we go for a three crown friendly battle cancel?
I'm in a battle. What are you talking about? Okay as I was saying though should we go for a three crown this battle?
I'm telling you guys. It is intense. Let's do it. Let's get this graveyard ready
I'm waiting for my teammate with the mega Knight. Where's that mega Knight at it, is time right now
Let's get that graveyard down
I would like to get a poison spell down as well
So it's wait for that to cycle did that poison spell down rate there?
Unfortunately their goblin gang did do some work and that graveyard was a bit of a massive fail. They're pretty cock
They'd be poison that left our and activated the King tower so at this point it is gonna. Be game over
We're not going easy on these kids. We are gonna hit them as hard as possible that Elektra wizard. Got rekt relatively easily
Let's put his ice going down to tank that yeah that
Graveyard is a big joke my teammate zapped all of that out so right now
Let's get ourselves that graveyard down like I said we were gonna go for the three crown, but yeah things just didn't work out
Too hot and what's also zapped that as well
Unfortunately the Goblin barrel did die in that push was a bit of a fail
We have 40 seconds left to get a win
I don't know how we're gonna pull this off
But you know what we sure as hell are gonna go for this pea shooter in the back should help out with that
Graveyard and as far as all this goes. I'm not even concerned. Let's go thirty seconds left in this matchup
We have the ice golem tanking definitely a bit of a failure
Let's get the Graveyard down right now massive push off right there. They did fireballs, but look at all the troops
We have down right now
Let's wait for this wait for this app this app is not eating
Nowadays zap all that out mega Knight is on the tower get the poison spell. There's pie oh, no seven seconds left early god

JFK assassination files: Hoover said FBI must "convince the public" Oswald acted alone - Duration: 3:33.
Newly released FBI files about the assassination of John F. Kennedy are shedding
new light on shooter Lee Harvey Oswald and the bureau chief's efforts to quell
conspiracy theories about the fatal shooting of the nation's 35th president.
In the chaotic aftermath of the assassination,
followed two days later by the murder of Oswald while in police custody,
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover vented his frustration in a formerly secret report
found in the files.
It opened: "There is nothing further on the Oswald case except that he is dead."
But, reflecting on Oswald less than an hour after he died,
Hoover already sensed theories would form about a conspiracy broader than the
lone assassin.
"The thing I am concerned about, and so is (deputy attorney general) Mr.
Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald
is the real assassin," he said.
He also reported: "Last night we received a call from our Dallas office from a
man talking in a calm voice and saying he was a member of a committee organized
to kill Oswald."
Hoover said he relayed that warning to Dallas police and was assured Oswald
would be sufficiently protected.
Oswald was shot dead the next day by Jack Ruby.
A document from 1975 contains a partial deposition by Richard Helms,
a deputy CIA director under Kennedy who later became CIA chief,
to the Rockefeller Commission, which was studying unauthorized CIA activities in
domestic affairs.
Commission lawyers appeared to be probing for information on what foreign
leaders might have been the subject of assassination attempts by or on behalf of
the CIA.
A lawyer asks Helms: "Is there any information involved with the assassination
of President Kennedy which in any way shows that Lee Harvey Oswald was in some
way a CIA agent or agent" - here the document ends, short of his answer.
CBS News' Bob Schieffer, who was then a 26-year-old Fort Worth newspaper
reporter at the time, gave Oswald's mother a ride to the police station after
the assassination.
"She expressed no remorse about the president being killed," Schieffer recalled.
Among the files is a more than 400-page document that appeared to describe
people being monitored as potential threats to Kennedy and his successor,
Lyndon B. Johnson.
Officials described one such person this way:
"Subject participated in pickets against JFK in 1961.
Allegedly trained in guerrilla tactics & sabotage.
Considered very dangerous by those who know him.
Has visited USA & Cuba.
Considered armed and dangerous."
Some suspicions missed the mark badly.
One document describes a person who sent a letter to Johnson in December 1963
stating "you're doomed."
The document says: "Interviewed 1/23/64; friendly.
Said letter was a joke.
Not dangerous.
Attending 5th grade."

New Android Game - Stickman Skate Battle | Skater Plays - Duration: 10:19.
Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. I'm
playing a game called stickman skate
battle, and I thought I would show you
this game. Someone recommended it to me. I
had your name written down, but it's on
my tablet, and I'm using my tablet so
sorry I couldn't look that up. But it's a
online battle game where you skate
around and try to get high scores. It's
not great. Wait, I am... I am on the left
side. I was on the right side when I was
playing it earlier, so I got confused.
But you skate around and you do tricks,
and you try to beat the other guy. That's
about it. So I am playing this with a
gamepad, but it's probably a touchscreen.
It doesn't really make it any easier. I
don't think... the spinning might be
slightly easier. The controls are kind of
weird. So you steer with the left stick,
but you also have to spin by drawing
circles with it. Like, you don't just hold
left, you actually have to do circles
with it or you'll stop in whatever
direction you're pointing. On the right
here, you can see, you would see a
joystick if I didn't have a controller
plugged in. But you can see my list of
tricks there. You start with 2, and I have
four now.
I bought stiffies and nose grabs, but you
also have heel flips, which it calls kick
flips, and Indies. Okay so I am still
trying to figure out the rules for the
online mode. I don't know if I can
actually pick at all. It seems like... man
is that just my internet being crappy?
But it seems like, you either go for a
minute, or you go until you bail. Which
I'm not really sure how that works.
Sometimes you just do a full minute and
then it's over. Sometimes it seems like
you play for a little bit, and then it'll
be their turn, then it's your turn again.
Then it's their turn again. It goes back
and forth for a while. I'm not entirely
sure, but I just did... I did just do an
update, so it might have changed since
the last time I played it.
All right, it really... the game is
really based on how long you hold things,
so for him to do this kind of stuff, just
holding grabs as long as possible, is a
good way to get scores. He really should
be doing spins, but it looks like he's
got me beat
once he lands that. I probably shouldn't
have been talking the whole time, oh that
boardslide was enough!
Oh man, look I beat him by, like, 30
points.
[Music]
Take that, Guest_5db35... okay, at
this point, I'll have the opportunity to
challenge him. Okay, he wants to play again.
Let's do it. All right.
Oh okay, well there you go. Um, let's try
another one. So I'm currently ranked... I
think I got to rank three, so I should be
able to play this level. All right, that's
a different person. Let's give this a try.
There are some practice modes, but you
have to pay with your coins to get into
them, and it is a regular free to play
style game. This guy is gonna upgrade a
board, he might actually be good. It is a
free to play style game, so you have to
like watch ads to get points and get
coins and you can buy whatever and all
that kind of stuff that all these
free-to-play games have. I would have
much preferred to spend a dollar or two
and just unlock the game rather than
have to do all that stuff, so I'm
probably not gonna be playing this one
too much.
But I wanted to give you a chance to
take a look at it anyway.
Yeah so you saw that tree that got in
the way. You can't control the camera at
all, so it's just kinda... it's kind of
weird that they would put that there. So
he seems like he's going around and
collecting all of the power, or the trick
boosts, but then he's not doing anything.
He's got a huge score though. I don't
know what he's doing. He might know more
about the game than I do. So he has got
another five seconds. Okay, I think you
get a minute total, and you lose your
turn if you bail, but you still get to
finish out your time. I think that's how
it works. Okay come on, I'm not getting
any air. Okay, so since he finished his
time, I just keep going when I bail.
Okay, so staying in transition can be
pretty tough because you you have to,
like, hold the direction away from the
transition, but you also have to spin, so
it's kind of weird. Like, you have to hold
it back for a second. Why is he in here? So
you have to hold back for a second just
to kind of decide to stay in, and then
you have to rotate. Kind of weird.
Oh I'm winning! All right, yeah. This level
is good for points with all those
power-ups. He says "wow." I don't know how
you talk to people. That might not even
be real, if I had to guess. Alright time's
up. I win. I have never lost, which is not
because I'm any good. You can see I'm
kind of fumbling around and figuring out
what I'm doing too, but there you go.
I've ranked up to four, okay, collect
$1.00. Okay. I don't want an amazing offer.
No thank you.
Well there you go. I'm gonna try to play
a different level, just to show you. What
are you doing game? Every time you hit
home... come on, go. Hey. Every time you hit
'home,' it takes you to a different
place.
I have to be ranked five to play that
level, so you can play the first level
for free, but if you want to play this
one you have to pay ten gold, which is
weird because you don't earn it that
quickly. But anyway, I'll play one more
time just to give you a pretty good feel
for the game. I'm getting a little bit
better. I say as I bail. But yeah,
I don't necessarily recommend this one.
For me, I basically have to play every
skateboarding game. It's a compulsion. I
have to at least... I have to at least try
them, and I'm glad that I did, because
it's interesting. It works. It's cool to
see what else is out there, but I don't
think this is gonna be the one for me.
I'm gonna stick to True Skate. Yeah and
I did reviews of True Skate and
Skater, and I had originally decided that
Skater was better, but that was like last
December I think. And at this point, I
only play True Skate. I think that one
ends up being a little bit more varied.
You can do a little bit more. I like
having the shoes so that you could do
spins and everything in Skater, but True
Skate is actually better. You can check out
my reviews for those if you'd like, but
yeah. This one, I think you could safely
give it a pass now that you've seen what
it's like. But if it is interesting to you,
go ahead and take a look at it,
especially if you really get into the
free-to-play
stuff and you're gonna remember to spin
the wheel for your reward everyday and
all that kind of stuff. There's nothing
wrong with any of that, I just I'm too
old to worry about all that crap. I don't
want to sit around and have to worry
about opening the app a certain amount
of times every day and all that kind of
stuff. I'd rather just pay a couple bucks
and get it over with, but you know, that's
me. You might have your own preferences.
So we'll finish off this level. I'll show
you a grind, that's it. You can do a rail
slide.
I don't think... yeah, you can't do a 50/50,
and you also can't do a trick out of it
and the times I've tried, you can't
possibly get enough air to finish a
trick. So there's that. I'll show you
around the game just a little bit more.
Okay, so yeah, here's your free coins... oh.
I'm a lot I'm gonna skip this. Okay that
was an unskipable 30-second ad. I
guess I hit the free coins button
already, where it just gives you some
coins, so then it made me watch an ad.
There's a shop where you can buy tricks
and stuff. So I have all of those. I don't
have a tail grab. See, there's like cash
and there's also coins, which have
different meanings. I don't know. Yeah. So
I don't know if I would ever get a
hundred and fifty thousand gold, but yeah,
if you get really into it that's all
there. You can buy different skaters with
different abilities, get different boards.
You can buy power-ups, extra time for
your battles, all that kind of stuff. So
if this is something you're interested
in, go ahead and give it a shot.
You can also buy coins by doing various
things, like spending a hundred dollars
for a million coins. I wouldn't recommend
doing that, but yeah, the game itself is
free, so there's no harm and at least
trying it if you'd like, but I'm showing
you about all there is to it. So if you
are interested in skateboarding games, I
have a lot of skateboard game videos on
the channel, from reviews to gameplay
videos, to all kinds of other things.
They're usually a little bit more
interesting than this, but that's what
this game is like. So thanks for watching,
and check out those other things. Make
sure you subscribe so you can keep
learning new things about skateboarding
three times a week. Thanks.

LOCATION: Charing Cross Roundabout.
ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome to London welcome to Westminster and
what is for a number of reasons the very center of of London
just down here you have St James's and St James's Palace
just through the Admiralty Arch there you have the Mall which leads to
Buckingham Palace just along Whitehall here behind me you have the Palace of
Westminster the house of parliament Westminster Abbey and Big Ben which you
may be able to make out some where on the skyline behind me just down this street
here you have the bank of the River Thames and the London Eye
behind me is Trafalgar Square and we'll be heading up here in a moment
through Leicester Square or past Leicester Square to London's Chinatown
but more about that in a moment the the main reason I say this is the centre of
London is not just because we're surrounded by some of London's most
iconic landmarks if your in another part of the UK and you see a signpost for London
the mileage on that signpost it's counting down to this spot here and there is this
brass plaque here on the floor which marks the spot and right besides this
centuries-old statue of King Charles the first
but anyway enough about where I am let's talk about where I'm going it's October
right now for me and that's what I want to talk about to share with you some of
the events here that I'll be visiting during the month of October and as some
of them don't always happen during the month of October in many ways a look at
autumn and winter here for you and a little of life here in town so first up
the first event I'm going to head to this month is a Chinese festival called
mid-autumn festival and as the UK and London has a big Chinese and Asian
community I'm hoping that Chinatown just up the road here will be decorated for the
festival they usually put lanterns up for Chinese New Year earlier in the year
and now for mid-autumn festival so I'm hoping Chinatown will be decorated the mid-autumn
festivals also known as mooncake festival so hopefully I can get some moon
cake and also visit some of my other favorite spots for food in London's Chinatown
there should be as well the reason the festival is today there should be
the fattest full moon this evening however as you can
probably see it's a very grey and overcast day so whether we can see the moon through
the clouds will be a different story which we'll find out later but anyway first
of all let's head up the street here past Trafalgar square past Leicester Square to
Chinatown and on the way I'll talk you through some of the other events that
will be happening this month some of which I hope to visit and then we can talk a
little bit more about mid-autumn festival AKA mooncake festival and London's Chinatown
so during October there are so many things to see and so many things to do
here in London some of my favourites are a visit to China Town and the mid-autumn
festival there are also amazing cultural events
in Trafalgar Square Africa on the square and the Diwali celebrations are held
there the British Film Institute London Film Festival is a chance to see the
latest film releases and the museums at night event allows you to explore art
and history after dark and of course the many Halloween themed events are just a
few of the things to see and do right here in London
okay welcome to the edge of London's Chinatown Leicester Square tube station
one of the entrances to Leicester Square tube station is right behind me
and
Chinatown has been decorated for mid-autumn festival check out the lanterns
Chinatown always looks and more importantly smells was amazing
but during Chinese New Year's and during this time of year for mid-autumn
festival with the lanterns up it looks phenomenal and you'll have to take my word for it
the food all smells incredible the first thing I'm going to do is get one of the
moon cakes which are incredibly filling and I'm not going to dive straight in
to eat the moon cakes I'll
get something at some of my other favorite spots and I'll get the mooncake
first while the bakeries are open or some of the bakeries are still open
then I might checkout Jen Cafe
or Baozi Inn at this end of China town get some of their dumplings or Bao there is
a bakery there the bakery I normally go to because I normally come here quite late at
night is the kowloon bakery at the other end however I think right now I'm
gonna pop into first of all the Golden Gate bakery which closes a lot earlier
than the Kowloon and as I'm normally here quite late at night I don't often make it
so the cakes are equally delicious in all the bakeries
I don't actually have a favorite as such but I normally end up at which
ever one is open when I get here but I want to try the ones from the Golden Gate the Golden Gate
but yeah check out the main street of Chinatown decorated for this years mid-autumn
festival
it looks great the Sun is setting
you can see it looks great behind me as well the Sun is setting and it's going
to look even more phenomenal this street always looks fantastic illuminated in
the evening after dark the Kowloon bakery is just down here on the Main Street
Bakery I want to see if I can get the moon cakes from I think I prefer Lotus to red
bean so I'll see if they've got some lotus paste moon cake here Golden Gate
okay success mooncakes from the golden gate cake shop behind me now before I went in I
was thinking I'll just get one Louis paste cake because full-sized moon
cakes are quite expensive the Golden gate this year had mini moon cakes so I've got
one of each Lotus paste and red bean to try this year they are incredibly filling as well
so mini moon cakes are winners so if you're after moon cakes I would definitely
recommend the Golden Gate cake shop especially if you want to try them if
you've never had them before because you get one of each and figure out which one is your
favourite without spending a fortune five pounds eighty for four moon cakes which is brilliant
let me show you the other cake shop that I go to most frequently because its open quite
late the kowloon and they do phenomenal cream
cakes they look amazing
I'am starting to get hungry but I don't want to dive into the mooncake straightaway
because its incredibly filling want to eat something savoury first from the other
end of Chinatown there is it also a buffet here one side of Kowloon is a
buffet restaurant and the other is a cake shop
I'm sure they'll have mooncakes today
okay I definitely recommend the Kowloon too its my normal spot late at night
as I've said I'm going to take another look around find somewhere to get some food
then I'll show you some of Chinatown once the sun is set and it will look very
atmospheric it looks phenomenal after dark
okay as I was saying I'm glad I got mini moon cakes from the bakery for one pound
forty and one pound fifty each for the little cakes full-sized boxed ones one they're far too
much for me to eat and they cost I think the full-sized one in the
Baker's costs eight or nine pounds full-sized box ones range from 13 to 25
and I literally actually what a bite not a whole cake so yeah the Golden Gate is the place for
small portions and small mini cakes
okay one of my favourite spots is Jen cap here its pretty simple inexpensive Chinese style
cafe one at end of Chinatown and for a lot of the day woman sit in the window here
and make Beijing dumplings - which you can then have either steamed or fried
with a little sauce to dip them in they're delicious I think that's one of the first things I'm going to get
this evening on my trip to China town
so welcome to Jen Cafe in front of us in the window you can see the chef's hand
making the Beijing dumplings that Jen Cafe is most renowned for the little
dumplings are available filled with either pork or a vegetarian filling and
they're available either steamed like this or fried like this I'm going to
pour out a little soy sauce to dip them in they are a pretty filling relatively
inexpensive and delicious snack so if you're in Chinatown I would definitely
recommend a trip to Jen Cafe to try their Beijing dumplings they're also
available in a soup so as wonton soup
okay that was Jen Cafe the Beijing dumplings are amazing definitely
recommend them and you can watch them being made before you eat them here in the
window during the day most days next up I think I'm gonna head next door to Jen cafe
here to Baozi Inn and get one of their steamed buns the bao the takeaways here also
got a restaurant where you can eat in here the foods amazing but I'm just gonna get
a snack steamed bun take away
okay I changed my mind at the last minute and instead of the bao the steamed bun
I went for the sandwich version so from Baozi Inn the soft fluffy steamed bun
exterior pork in the middle slow-cooked pork and cucumber and salad lets try it
that's amazing bun soft and fluffy like soft clouds
the pork's amazing slow cooked pork beautifully spiced and then
nice contrast with the crispy crunchy salad
definitely recommend Baozi Inn right I'm gonna finish this and carry on having a look
around and I think I might get something to drink to wash down my mooncakes
okay I'm gonna get some Taiwanese bubble tea to help wash down the moon cakes
I'm gonna get the bubble tea tonight from here char time
okay bubble tea from
Char Time here in London's Chinatown I've got Char times milk tea
with pearls and extra toppings of aloe vera aloe vera jelly and coconut jelly
regular sugar no ice is quite cold out and a fat straw so I can suck up the the pearls
that's really good right I'm going to enjoy this go and take a seat somewhere and use this to
help the moon cakes go down
okay I'm back outside the Golden Gate cake shop here in Chinatown where I got the
moon cakes from earlier these are the mini moon cakes
I've got a round one and a square one
one of them has lotus paste inside one of them has red bean paste in
I forget which one is which
that would be the lotus paste really good bubble tea
lets try the red bean
they're really good too
very filling very rich quite well-balanced but I'am glad I found mini mooncakes from the Golden Gate cake shop
otherwise I would be eating a full sized one
okay I'm gonna finish up my mooncakes and my tea and we will go and take another look
around
okay bake the bakery here at the end of Chinatown is super popular for their ice
creams
and their fish shape waffles filled with ice cream and they also have a taiyaki machine
which are Taiwanese little fish shaped custard snacks
like the machine cooks and they are kind of wofully on the outside and then
soft gooey custard on the inside
just ate all the custard out of that one pretty good
patron kilogram
okay guys I hope you enjoyed this visit to London's Chinatown and this visit to
mid-autumn festival AKA moon cake festival I'm going to take another look
around Chinatown maybe get something else to eat and drink and I'll see you
guys at the next event
OK welcome to London's Trafalgar Square and welcome to Africa on the Square
this is an annual event to celebrate African art culture and importantly community
here in London so lets go and take a look at this years event
the food smells phenomenal and I see some of the
acts performing in the square on the way over here and they look amazing
(music)
the smell of food from all these food stalls behind me is phenominal
(music)
okay guys hope you enjoyed this visit to Trafalgar Square and this this years Africa on the
square I'm going to take a look at some more of the
entertainment from up here on the balcony and I'll see you guys at the next event
OK ladies and gentleman welcome to South Kensington
welcome to London's Natural History Museum during October many of London's best
museums hold a late night opening event so you can visit the museums and
see the exhibits in a light you would otherwise get to see the reason I come
to the Natural History Museum is its one of my favourite museums and they hold a
similar event every month of the year except for December late night opening
on the last Friday so you get to see the permanent exhibitions and any temporary
exhibitions in a light you wouldn't otherwise get to see them in so lets pop
in and take a look at the phenomenal main entrance and
what you can see been constructed me here on the lawn is the ice rink that will
be open here in just a few weeks ice rink for winter and it's an amazing
festive thing to do in winter and during the Christmas period
the Natural History Museum first opened to the public in 1881 and from the main
entrance this is where you first walk into the museum Hintze hall and it's also
the gateway to the museums galleries and collections during my childhood and my
earliest memories of visiting the museum a huge dinosaur skeleton filled this
hall however this summer the dinosaur was replaced by this huge blue whale
skeleton which was on display in another part of the museum since the 1930s the
dinosaur looked cool but they are extinct and although it's nice to visit
the past we can't live there whereas the whale is today a conversation starter
and a symbol of the museum's commitment to conservation and using history
understanding and education to shape the future
blue whales were hunted to the point of extinction by mankind and importantly
were one of the first species that humans decide to save on a global scale
so the whale shows children and adults that we have an impact on the world in
which we live and we have a responsibility to shape a future that is
sustainable so now you can walk under this blue whale the largest animal to
have ever lived which looks like it's diving right into the museum both the
hall and the whale illuminated after dark look phenomenal
okay I hope you enjoyed this brief look in the Natural History Museum its a phenomenal place to visit
especially when they're open late they're also some amazing restaurants
and bars and coffee shops just down here by South Kensington station which is where
we're going to head to now so see you guys at the next event
OK welcome back to Trafalgar square October sees the Hindu sikh and Jain festival of
Diwali so as there's a large Hindu Sikh and Jain
community here in London there's a large Diwali festival here in Trafalgar Square
so I'm here to check out this years entertainment maybe sample some of the amazing food
it smells phenomenal and even though its October its a really warm day the weather's amazing
for this years festival
(music)
so the annual Diwali festival here in Trafalgar Square has a huge stage which
is hosting performances of music dance yoga and comedy there was also a street
food market and the smell of all this food cooking is amazing
there are also crafts and community stalls selling crafts and art and I've
seen some amazing looking henna art being done and like many of the
community events here in Trafalgar Square it's free to attend
(music)
OK guys I hope you enjoyed this little look at Diwali celebrations here in Trafalgar Square
I'm going to get some food from one of the food stalls it smells phenomenal and then head back
down to the stage area check out some more of the amazing entertainment
okay welcome to London's Spitalfields Spitalfields market is right beside me
now I can't talk about October here in London without talking about Halloween Its a big
celebration here at the end of the month it's not quite as big as it is in other
countries because it's a little overshadowed by an event here on 5th of
November each year called Guy Fawkes night AKA bonfire night or fireworks
night and Guy Fawkes night involves fireworks and fun fairs and huge
bonfires so it's always outshone Halloween a little which is pumpkins and
fancy dress but I thought we'd end on something Halloween inspired so something a little
spooky now obviously London's an ancient city
so it's got plenty of
grim and gruesome and historic stories from the past so I thought rather than
making this rather dark I'd just come somewhere a little bit spooky
one of London's pubs the ten bells here behind me linked to Jack the Ripper were
just down the road from Whitechapel and previous landlords have claimed it's
haunted and staff and drinkers in the pub have reported a number of unexpected events the pub is
named after the church bells here there has been a pub here since the 1700's next to the church one way or
another so let's pop into the ten bells to get
a drink
so the ten bells pub is a pretty historic and renowned East end London pub
with a dark past however today it's a very welcoming pub
and the perfect place to get a drink if you're in the area the pub is most
famous for its connections with Jack the Ripper now much about Jack the
Ripper remains a mystery but one thing is known and well documented his victims
lived close to this pub and it's believed they drank here at least one had their
last drink in this very pub so it's also highly likely the Ripper would have
visited here and even drank here too the food and cocktail menus also featured a
detailed history of the pub and some of its more renowned and famous connections
from its very long history the bar on street level has amazing Victorian tiled
walls and then upstairs where we're having a drink is another bar which
feels more like a vintage cocktail bar
okay guys thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed this look at London during the
month of October and the autumn winter season so from
the ten bells and London's Spitalfields until next time
Toodles!
The End
