Welcome to New York City I'm Jen and I will be your local guide sharing the top 30

things to do. This goes beyond your stereotypical list. There will not be any

Empire State Building on this list but instead this is about the experiences.

This is what to do, what to eat, drink, where to stay and when to visit.

Keep watching and if you enjoy this video don't forget to give it a thumbs

In a place nicknamed the Big Apple we have to start with food, but did you know

quick fun fact that it is called a big apple not because of apples - it has

nothing to do with food - but because of a 1920s racing column called "Around the

Big Apple" So number one we have the bagel in New York City we are known for

the bagel there's actually something in the water that makes our bagels super

unique and you can also try a rainbow bagel at the bagel shop in Brooklyn

Williamsburg I highly recommend it you can try it with eggs for a salty sweet

combo or with a smear of confetti cream cheese which is super fun and colorful

highly recommended it!

Number two have a really good slice of pizza. There are so many amazing pizza

places that are definitely worth checking out. In Brooklyn Heights there

is a fun rivalry between Grimaldi's and also Juliana's. I recommend Juliana's

which has a shorter line, just FYI, but if you're on a budget there are also

some amazing $1 slices that you have to check out and go check out my challenge

video for more. ..."It's a little cold because I was talking for too long..."

Number three have a burger! Have a burger at a place like Shake Shack, which is a

super classic or The Burger Joint, which is like a speakeasy hidden inside a

hotel. Number four have a pastrami sandwich you don't know how good this is

until you try it!

Head downtown to Katz's to have this pastrami sandwich which is a little bit

pricey but so worth it and whatever you do don't lose your ticket!

Number five food markets if you tried every single New York City restaurant

one per day it would take you about 20 years to try all of them and that's not

even including new restaurants popping up, so try a few different restaurants

and a few different culinary styles all in one at a food market. Some of my

favorite places are Smorgasburg which is especially during the summer and Chelsea

Market open all year round which has some of the best tacos!

Number six have a decadent dessert. New York City had some of the best, biggest,

most delicious desserts so while you're here you have to try something like this

ice cream here at the Brooklyn ice cream factory in Brooklyn Heights.

Number seven enjoy brunch. Come to a classy Instagramable spot like the

River Cafe behind me with beautiful views of the Brooklyn Bridge and

Manhattan skyline or go to a diner dive and have a milkshake worth sharing

that's so big but so fun and colorful at a place like Big Daddy's or Blacktap.

Number eight have a "Cawfee" (coffee). No not Starbucks I'm talking about a cute

coffee shop complete with cats, board games, records

you name it New York is known for some really great coffee and coffee shops.

Number nine take the subway or take a taxi. The number one trick to figure out

whether a taxi is taken or not is seeing if the light on top with the numbers is

actually lit up. If it is lit up that means that it is free and available, if

not that means that it is taken. If you want to learn more about the subway

check out my other video all about the subway. Number ten take a helicopter ride.

I've actually taking a helicopter ride here in New York City, in LA, in the Czech

Republic and Australia and my absolute favorite experience is here in New York

because of all the tall skyscrapers you get an amazing perspective of the whole

city from the air!

Number 11 take a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry. The Staten Island Ferry is

the best free ride views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of

Liberty so you don't have to spend a full day visiting the Statue of Liberty

especially if you have a limited amount of time here watch my video for more of

where to stand and where to catch it.

Number 12 visit another island head to the family-friendly Governor's Island.

Or with one Metro swipe head in a red tram over to Roosevelt Island. Number

13 go to Brooklyn! If you have time you must venture

outside of Manhattan to other boroughs like Brooklyn my favorite spot is right

here in Brooklyn Heights where you can have appreciation for this wonder by

walking across it!

Number fourteen visit a neighborhood! Travel around the world within New York

City by visiting another neighborhood like Little India, Koreatown, Chinatown or

the new Little Italy along Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.

Number 15 go to the top of a tall building. The top three observatory decks

here in NYC that you have to pay about $30 for with an amazing view

are Top of the Rock, One World Trade Center (behind me) and the Empire State

Building. My top recommendation is to go to the top of the rock!

The Empire State Building in your view for better views of the bridges head to

the One World Trade Center, which is further downtown and has better downtown view.

67 stories up we are on the Top of the Rock. I recommend definitely come here

for sunset but come two hours ahead so that you make sure you get the right

time slot! Number 16 go to touristy spots like Times Square even though some locals

might warn you against it it is crowded for a reason

is truly one-of-a-kind place and I remember when I first came to Times Square

looking all around me it is so bright there are so many lights that you really

have to check it out. Even if it's a quick visit you need to come to Times

Square just to see it at least once!

number 17 go to a museum New York City has over a hundred museums. I recommend

you travel uptown to the Museum Mile, a collection of ten museums including the

Cooper-Hewitt, the Guggenheim and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

If you have a short period of time come visit my favorite Museum: the

Metropolitan Museum of Art also known as "The Met." It has a really great Egyptian

wing including the temple of Dendur, which was fully relocated and saved from

the floods of the Nile, also they have seasonal costume exhibits at the costume

Institute

number 18 Go on an adventure! If you enjoy rock climbing you will love coming

here under the Manhattan Bridge and you can climb and Boulder right here

outdoors or on the actual rocks that make up Central Park. Number 19

go to a park! Even though it is called the concrete jungle there are so many wonderful parks

here. You can enjoy a beautiful day in Central Park or even the High Line which

is an elevated railroad tracks-turned park or even a park near you

number 20 Watch the sunset or if you're an early riser watch the sunrise! Two of

my favorite places for watching the sunset are here in Brooklyn Heights

overlooking the pylons or in Gantry Plaza in Queens.

Number 21 get lost in a book. If you love books you'll love the strand bookstore or

the Morgan library or the New York Public Library, right next to Bryant Park.

Number 22 See a show! Known for some of the best shows in the world you can

see revivals and classics on Broadway and for more affordable shows go to off-

Broadway or off off Broadway, the more offs

the more affordable it is!

Number 23 see a movie differently! Enjoy a movie under the stars in a New

York City Park like Bryant park or have a dine-in theater experience at a

retro-style theater like Nighthawk.

Number 24 Wear whatever you want! Most New Yorkers do wear black but you can

wear whatever you want even if you wear a rainbow colorful tutu, New

Yorkers wouldn't give you a second glance!

Number 25 have a night out on the town! It is called the city that never sleeps for a

reason. Enjoy classy cocktails at a hidden

speakeasy or dive bars that have pool, live jazz and ping pong, like one of my

favorites Fat Cat. Number 26 go shopping or at least window shopping

head uptown to 5th Avenue for some of these prettiest windows or go vintage

shopping in Brooklyn. Head to Soho for some more fun shopping and cobblestone

streets. Also check out my video about Soho for more! Number 27 follow in

famous footsteps there are so many iconic series and movies that are shot

here in New York as their backdrop from Friends to Seinfeld to

Sex in the City and Gossip Girl you can go on custom tours that follow all of

these movies and series around the city.

Number 28 stay somewhere unique! For convenience Midtown Manhattan is the

best location to see Times Square, a lot of midtown Manhattan attraction and it's

really close to the subway but I also highly recommend Airbnb. I have stayed in

Airbnbs as staycations here in New York City and definitely loved that

local authentic experience if you stay with a super host or just a really good

host they will give you recommendations of places right near you and some of

their local hidden gems. You can also use my code down below just get $40 off your

first Airbnb you can stay in a modern skyscraper or a Brooklyn brownstone just

like this one!

Number 29 do something different! I wish I could include

everything that is in New York City in this whole video but I can't so

definitely look up your favorite thing and see if there's a museum or an

exhibit or even a tour dedicated all to it. You would be surprised there are some

really fun quirky, unique things that this city has to offer that you can't

find anywhere else! Number 30 visit again in a different season! As New Yorkers think

New York is the center of the universe you will likely want to come back again.

So my favorite time to visit is definitely the spring when you can see

the cherry blossoms and it is not as warm and crowded as the summer months

which is the most popular time so my top recommendation is to visit during the

spring in April or May or in the fall during September and October when you

can hopefully see the leaves changing color which is so beautiful and the fall

weather is much better than summer. If you love the holidays you will love

visiting the city in December and January that is when you can go ice

skating at Rockefeller Center or the less crowded Bryant Park. You can even

enjoy beautiful window displays at Fifth Avenue and see the Rockefeller tree!

RAVE TIPS - First Time CLUBBING TIPS for guys!! (EDM Club Survival Guide) - Duration: 5:25.

so this week I was at the all new Club Academy la in Hollywood to see trans DJ

duo gabriel & dresden but if you've ever wanted to see an EDM DJ at a club then

you're gonna want to stick around for my 6 tips in this video ready let's go hi

everyone I'm Doug and this is fat boy Doug a channel with an epitope for life

this channel is all about giving tips and advice on how you too can live a

happy and fabulous lifestyle so if you're new here please consider

subscribing below ok so this weekend I was at Academy LA and I was there

watching Gabriel & Dresden this trance DJ duo they're part of the N Judah Beats

label which you may know of from above and beyond and they were also there at

common ground which was above and beyond store for their newest album and this is

actually Gabriel & Dresden store for their album the only Road so you haven't

heard it yet go on Spotify iTunes I'm sure you can find it it's a really good

album but on today's video I'm gonna give you tips on how to survive your

time and an EDM club so you may wonder what's the difference between a regular

Club and an EDM Club and an EDM Club it's all about that one DJ that you're

watching maybe they have special guests or openers but you're there to watch

that specific DJ at a regular Club yes there's a DJ but they're not the main

focus or there to kind of dance and socialize with your friends here at an

EDM club you're really paying attention to the music and your focus on that DJ

and the clubs themselves may have more strict guidelines or dress codes which

is my first tip check the dress code when you're going to a regular Club you

may just be wearing t-shirts shorts but on an EDM club they like to make it more

upscale they do have a dress code so you want to check on their website to see

what that dress code is specifically for Academy LA they told us no sandals no

shorts no tank tops no backpacks and no offensive graphics I've actually been to

clubs where they told guys that we had to wear button-up shirts or at least

shirts with collars so you really want to check the dress code beforehand so

you don't get turned away at the door which brings us to tip number two don't

wear anything gray or light-colored at an EDM Club you're going to be packed in

there with a lot of people so you're probably going to sweat a lot so my tip

is to wear darker clothing so you don't see

the sweat marks on your shirt you just don't want to be that guy that looks all

sweaty so even if you are really sweaty you can kind of hide that with a darker

shirt but for tip number three to make sure you're not actually that sweaty I

suggest bringing a fan so I actually checked with the Khadem ela beforehand

to make sure that I can bring a hand fan into the club again there are strict

rules sometimes for clubs so you want to make sure that you can bring a fan first

but it truly is a lifesaver when it's really hot in your packing there with so

many people it just feels so good to fan yourself plus you can make friends by

Fanning other people I actually do this a lot I'll just stand there and turn

around in a circle and fanni everyone around me and everyone is so thankful

whenever I do that it's definitely a great conversation starter they'll ask

you where you got it what kind of fans you have so if you're interested in

getting your own fan and I suggest going to WWF that fan calm I've included a

link below but it also includes a promo code for you to get 10% off on all the

fans they have a whole bunch of awesome designs that you're going to want to

check out so check the description below for that link and that promo code but

for tip number 4 another great way to make friends is to have gum with you

not only is it good to keep your breath minty fresh but it's a great way to make

some new friends by ripping your gum in half and give it to them so I suggest

getting the type of gum that's the stick of gum instead of the little capsules so

that you can rip it up and share it with someone else

alright tip number five is actually one that I shared in my rave gear video but

it's super important and as earplugs I was actually going to film this video at

the club but it was so loud and the base was so heavy that there was just no way

that you could hear me on camera they definitely upgraded the sound system in

there because I had been there before when it was still create and it was not

that loud but thank goodness I had my earplugs if these were not in my ear I'm

pretty sure my eardrums would have been blown so they're great at EDM festivals

outside but it's actually even more important to have them when you're in an

idiom club inside because the sounds can reverberate and it's just going to

even louder so you really need these to keep your eardrums healthy and my last

tip for you is don't be that rude person to push your way through the crowd so

we're all there to watch the deejay and yes it gets crowded and I'm sure your

friends are in different locations in the club but there's a right way and a

wrong way of going through the crowd so many times there are people that will

just movie aside by pushing you over and then just walking straight through to

where they need to go sure it may take a few more seconds to ask nicely to see if

you can move past this person or maybe just tap them on the shoulder and let

them know that you want to get through but that's just so much better than just

pushing your way through and my bonus tip for you is to bring your fan with

you as you go and fan the people in front of you so they can let you through

all right so I had a great time at Gabriel & Dresden but where are you

gonna go for your next EDM concert or festival I'd love to know in the

comments below and also make sure to check out my other videos right here and

subscribe to my videos here and click the bell notification so you'll know

whenever I post something new also check the description below for your promo

code for eclectic fan comm where you get 10% off everything there alright

everyone thanks for watching bye

Back To School 2018 Tech Guide - For Students On A Budget - Duration: 5:00.

I can hardly believe its already august, and for some that means its back to school season.

Either if you're currently going to high school, or if you commute to school or if

you live on campus heres a quick little guide of pieces of tech that I think you should

pick up before going back to school that wont break the bank.

First up on this list are the Sony WH-CH700N, these are one of Sony's newest and cheapest

bluetooth ANC headphones…

Obviously these headphones don't sound as good and their Active Noise Cancelation isn't

as good as their older brother the 1000XM2, but they get the job done.

I feel that having a good pair ANC headphones is important for any high school or college

student because they can help you block out loud and inconsiderate neighbors while you're

trying to study or you can sneak in a quick power nap while you're on the bus on your

way to school or work.

The Sony 700N retail for $200, but they routinely go on sale.

If you want to pick any of the products featured on this list I"ll have links in the description

below and if you use the links it really helps out the channel.

And if you want to learn more about either of these products then watch their full reviews.

Next up on this list is another Sony product, the Sony XB31 bluetooth speaker.

And this is mainly for people who live on campus.

Obviously you're going to have a lot of studying to do at school… but you're also

going to need some time to relax and hang out with friends.

The XB31 sounds good, has a long battery life, and you can also use it as a battery bank

to charge you phone.

But there are a few reasons why im recommending the XB31 over all of the other mid sized speakers

I've reviewed.

Since the XB31 is much smaller than the XB41 its much easier to travel with and to throw

into your back pack.

And its also much more durable than the JBL Charge 3 and Pulse 3 cause you don't have

to worry about damaging the exposed radiators if you were to cram either of these speakers

into your back pack.

And besides the light feature on the front is a huge added benefit.

Next up on this list is the JBL clip 3, and I love this guy cause it has become my dedicated

podcast machine.

You can use it to listen to ted talks, audio books, lectures, or educational podcasts…

while you're showering, doing homework, or just doing chores around the house or your

dorm.

And since the Clip 3 has a really strong bluetooth connection you can have it on you while your

phone is charging in a different room.

And the last speaker on this list is actually the google home mini.

Google assistant can actually help you with your homework.

If you're working on a paper you can quickly ask the assistant for synonyms so you're

not constantly using the same words, and you can also ask it to define or even spell words

you're having issues with.

But I personally really like using the assistant when im doing math or science homework.

You can quickly ask it basic math questions, unit conversions, or elemental properties…

and you actually end up saving a good amount of time cause you're not constantly having

to plug numbers into a converter or you don't have to look up certain properties on your

own.

The mini just spits it out.

If you're living on campus chances are you have access to a free gym and thats where

the Powerbeats 3 come in.

If you're looking for a pair of sports earphones to workout with I feel you cant go wrong with

the Powerbeats 3.

They sound decent, they have a very long battery life, and thanks to that W1 chip they have

very solid bluetooth connections.

They usually retail for $200, but they are forever on sale over at amazon for about $135,

I'll have those linked down below as well.

And finally to power everything on this list, it is more important than ever to have your

own battery bank.

Theres nothing worse than desperately needing to charge your phone but then realizing there

are no free power outlets.

And using the public charging station in the mess hall also isn't ideal cause you're

going to be tied down to one spot for awhile, and thats even if you're able to plug in.

And thats where the Belkin Pocket Power comes in.

Its small, light weight, and comes in various sizes.

And having that $2,500 Connected Equipment Warranty gives you a little piece of mind.

And there you have it, these are a few pieces of technology that I feel you should pick

up before going back to school that will hopefully make you a little more productive and make

your time on campus a little more enjoyable without breaking

the bank.

Rigoletto: an essential guide to what to listen out for in Verdi's most famous opera - Duration: 4:42.

Verdi was a very progressive thinker and so for him a curse is a thing of

nonsense. He wasn't superstitious he didn't believe in the supernatural so

how do you make a curse real? Well, he realized of course that a curse

is a matter of perception. Now, the actual curse spewed forth by Monterone is

full of rage, fire, brimstone, wrath everything they expect.

Fantastic music, it's extremely expressive, it's extremely mysterious,

something is going to happen. After the tumult and upset of the first scene,

Rigoletto is left on stage by himself and we hear this rather Wagnerian

chord articulated with a base rhythmic figure. It's angst, fear, worry, then he

heightens the tension by raising the top note.

He's looking for solace he's looking for some sort of comfort and we reached the

dominant, the most comforting chord in music, from here we know where we are going.

The C that he's about to sing

desperately wants to rise and that is in fact what Verdi first wrote but if this

C which is imbued with such a desire to move stays, repeats and doesn't

resolve

everything is left hanging. Verdi based this prelude on the curse. Solo trumpet

and trombone start the entire piece

and so one of the great baritone soprano duets begins. To music of surpassing

beauty we learn about a father's almost obsessive love and the daughters naive

trust. At the end of the duet Rigoletto leaves and he entreats his

daughter never to go out. The curse so prevalent in Rigoletto's mind must come

to fruition somehow and it does so, of course, through the Duke.

The beautiful girl he was talking about at the beginning of the Opera is

Rigoletto's daughter Gilda and in his second aria he says that he has never

felt like this before. So he waits till Rigoletto leaves

and he sneaks in, disguised as a poor student knowing that's what Gilda will

like, he surprises her and she is irredeemably lost. Gilda, trying to find

out what is going on in her own mind, begins her famous aria.

Blossoms to a new chord

she says his name to herself. New chord...

showing all the emotions that she's going through.

Her last line is extremely important and unfortunately prophetic. She says 'even my

last breath will be yours' and so we have all the ingredients for a great tragedy.

This is one of the great evenings in the theatre. I hope you enjoy it.

7 ESSENTIAL Study Abroad Tips | UK International Student Guide #Spon - Duration: 18:17.

hello everyone and welcome back to english with lucy I've got a slightly

different video for you today today I'm going to give you my seven tips for

studying in the UK this video is for students who are thinking about studying

in the UK or who are already studying here but want some more advice about

fitting in and finding accommodation I've made this video in collaboration

with chapter who provide incredible student accommodation across zone 1 and

2 but more about that later in this video we're going to cover

making friends the language visas accommodation choosing a uni getting in

the whole lot also I have lovingly written subtitles for you so don't worry

if you don't understand everything switch on the subtitles and we can also

talk about learning English a little bit later on right let's get started right

tip number one is do your first assignment and your first assignment is

a research assignment you need to find a good University and you need to research

both the University and the courses incredibly carefully I was an

international student in Madrid and I remember thinking I don't care where I

go I just want to be in Madrid and that was the wrong way to go about things I

had a great experience in Madrid I should have looked at all of the

universities and courses to make sure that I picked the right one because I

have a feeling I missed out on a couple of really cool opportunities you need to

ask yourself a lot of different questions you need to use a variety of

resources and find a variety of opinions as well don't trust the first person you

talk to ask as many people as you can some questions you should be asking

yourself are how is the University ranked use the league tables I'll be

putting lots of links and information in the description box

not only how is the University ranked but how is your specific course ranked

just because one University might be the best in England it doesn't mean that

their version of your course is the a good university might not have the

best ranked course but the experience could be exactly what you're looking for

make sure you look into what the course is like and how its examined some

courses are completely exam based some have way more essays and research

projects and presentations you need to look and find what you think is right

for you another question what are the entry requirements are you realistically

going to get into that university what grades do you currently have do you need

to take an extra exam chances are you might have to if you're not a native

speaker of English what's the location like we'll be talking more about

location in the next topic but I'm obviously very biased towards London

because I think it's perfect for an international student and I was a

student there for two and a half years yes two and a half years of my four-year

degree one last thing to think about when you're choosing University is which

University group you might not have heard of this before but there are

groups of universities like the Russell Group which is a group of universities

focused on research and academic achievement or the University Alliance

which are way more business engaged number two accommodation is key and this

is such a big topic for international students because it's not always easy to

find suitable accommodation in the UK because often you will have to have a

guarantor that earns over a certain amount in the UK and that is why student

accommodation directed towards international students is such a godsend

for you I cannot reiterate enough how important it is to choose the right

accommodation in the right location with the right people if you get this right

you have the foundations for an amazing experience in the UK I don't want to

pressure you but if you do get this wrong and I got this wrong before and I

had a really nasty time if you do get this wrong it can make your life a bit

of a misery for the first year of my degree I lived in zone 4 which was so

far from the centre in a really boring residential the kind of nasty area there

were no there was no nightlife there were no shops it was pretty awful and I

lived in a really badly run block student flats they told us it was all

going to be amazing and it really really wasn't however in my last year of

university I lived near to my University in a gorgeous room with lots of sunlight

a lovely view lots of friends nearby it was wonderful and I had such a great

time the difference was mind blowing I had the privilege of going to see the

chapter in Kings Cross to have a look at what I can only describe as the most

incredible student accommodation I have ever seen in my life it was just a few

minutes walk from Kings Cross station and it was this amazing glass building

with loads of outside space which is such a luxury in London there you can

sunbathe when it's glorious and sunny outside like it is at the moment and

have barbecues or chilled drinks have coffee with friends inside there's a

massive common room with football tables table tennis TVs IMAX and downstairs

there's a study area and an additional quiet area which is silent you can make

your coffee in the little kitchen there and then study with friends or when the

exam periods come around cram intensively in the silent area this

would have been ideal for me in my first year I had to take a 50-minute train

just to visit my library and it was the only quiet space I had in London when

you finish studying you can head over to the gym which was amazing it was amazing

it's better than the gyms that you actually have to pay monthly fees for

there were so many weights machines treadmills could have exercise classes

livestream to you so you can follow those and you can do your exercise with

an amazing view but for me the best part of the entire trip to chapter King's

Cross was the room I got to see bear in mind this was one of the lower-priced

rooms so I can't even imagine what the more expensive ones are like when I

walked into the room the first thing I noticed was this incredible view and the

video doesn't do it justice it was amazing you could see for miles you

could see all of the important monuments like the London Eye and the chard

imagine waking up to that every morning you'd feel like such a Londoner I

generously tested out the bed for you guys I can confirm it

very comfy you also get a little kitchen area with a hob microwave fridge

everything you need and you get a bathroom with lots of storage some of

the other chapters across London you can choose to live with a friend or a

partner which saves loads of money or in a shared flat so you have a private room

a private bathroom but you share the communal kitchen and living area finally

each chapter is unique and different so there's something for everyone there are

ten chapters in London there are two new ones being built at the moment which

will open in September there is white city in West London and also Highbury -

which is next to Holloway Road station you've got chapter Portobello which is

next to a canal you've got the chapter in South Bank which has a Sky Lounge

overlooking the London Eye the one in Spitalfields which is spectacular it

overlooks the gherkin if you're planning on studying in the UK I highly recommend

you consider chapter the team will help you find one that is perfect for you and

covers all of your needs whilst being close to your University to see all the

options visit chapter - london comm or if you're already in london you can head

to your nearest chapter and have a chat there's also a live chat option on the

website where you can ask any questions you have the link is in the description

box by the way did I mention there was a cinema number three location is the

foundation choose where you are carefully the UK is very small but we

have massive amounts of diversity what you find in the north is very different

to what you find in the south and what you find in London is very different -

absolutely everywhere else it's on its own do you want to be in a city do you

want to be in a town do you want to be in a rural location there are

universities in all of those locations I studied in the capital city my partner

well studied in the middle of the countryside in an agricultural

university we both had fantastic experiences but extremely different

experiences in my opinion and this is completely subjective I would recommend

for the majority of international students to go to

city and this is simply because there is so much more to do I currently live in a

very very rural location and every now and again I see like an au pair arrive

or an international student and they have a much harder time meeting

like-minded people but that might not be the case for everyone you might love

being in a river location now you're going to want to see the rest of the UK

when you're here what I would recommend is choosing a location with fantastic

transport links to the rest of the UK so you can visit those towns you can visit

the countryside you can visit other cities you can get the full experience

but you can still live in a busy buzzing place now for this video I'm going to be

talking specifically about London because that's where I went and I've got

loads of insight to share with you and I'm pretty sure most international

students are very very happy there there are so many different places in London

that offer different experiences and different feels about them

you've got Kings Cross which is the center of the city I'm sure you heard of

it platform 9 and 3/4 in Harry Potter where you've got some Pancras station

there so you've got easy access to Amsterdam and Paris and the rest of the

city and also it's a hub for travel to the rest of the country

you've got Spitalfields which is like the hipster area full of street art

markets quirky shops coffee shops it's really nice and then you've got places

like Islington which is like a small town within London it's got an amazing

high street with loads of shops restaurants music venues it's gorgeous

if I had to move back to London I think I'd live there there are ten chapters in

London including a few in each of the areas I've mentioned which means that

you can visit every part of the city because this is what makes chapter

special when you're a resident at one of the student accommodations you are a

member of every single one so you can visit all of them and spend time in all

of them this means you can visit every location use their facilities attend

their parties and events they've got things like book clubs movie nights

parties networking sessions karaoke nights

honestly I visited one and I wanted to be a student I wanted to relive my

student days but in a chapter because it would have solved my biggest problem

which was making friends right tip number four

familiarize yourself with the visa system early at present international

students from outside the EU or UK must apply for an international student visa

it is up to you to make sure that you comply with everything however you're

not in this alone if you have an offer from a university they want you to come

to the University they will do everything in their power to help you

get that visa remember you can also do a short term study visa which is for

shorter courses like English courses for example you'll be applying for a Tier

four student visa again information in the description box you can apply if you

have been offered a place on a course if you can speak read write and understand

English and if you have enough money to support yourself and pay for the course

the earliest you can apply is three months before the course begins and

you'll usually get a decision on your visa three weeks

after application you can arrive in the UK before your course starts and this is

highly recommended you want to have time to settle if your course is six months

or under you can arrive up to a week before and if it's six months or over

you can arrive up to a month before the great news is with most student visas

you can work and earn money so you can work up to 20 hours a week although I

really think being a student in the UK working twenty hours would be far too

much so that's very generous there are links to full guidance on visas below

but remember the university should be there to help you get through it

tip number five this is a broad one but it's meet as many people as you can now

making friends in the UK can be hard sometimes that's why I really recommend

living in student accommodation because everyone is there everyone one wants to

make friends I remember being in student accommodation and thinking oh do I talk

to them do I not and when I finally met that person later it turns out that they

also wanted to talk to me that day as well

everyone's there for the same reason to study to experience new things to make

friends the advice I can give to you about making friends in the UK

is number one sign up to clubs and events I've met so many more people

doing classes and proper focused events like dog training cooking classes

running clubs sports activities then I have on a night out when you arrive in

the UK in September October depending on when your course starts it'll likely be

a week called freshers week every night there's a party you get to meet loads

and loads of people they're not necessarily going to be the people that

you spend the rest of your year with universities in the UK have things

called societies and they're basically clubs where like-minded people can do

the things that they enjoy chess societies sports societies cheerleading

societies religious societies it's a great way to meet people like you join

as many as you can you don't have to commit to all of them pick a couple that

you like go consistently make loads of friends another one if you're living in

a big city you will realize that traveling to meet friends doesn't often

happen so it's good to live near fellow students that's why I think chapters so

great it's likely that other people from the surrounding universities will be

living in the chapter and you can go to all of the parties in events and

sessions in all of the other chapters so you suddenly could potentially meet so

many people thousands they're all students they have similar timetables to

you probably similar interests as well it's

a great opportunity number six fit in with the culture this is a

difficult one it completely depends on where you're from and how different your

culture is to the British culture but I'd really recommend that you

familiarize yourself with British culture and how we tend to do things but

take everything or with a pinch of salt trust me we don't spend all day drinking

tea and then at five o'clock get absolutely off our faces on beer well

some of us do my advice to you is make learning about British culture one of

your hobbies if you can try and meet and talk to as many British people as you

can there are so many Brits making amazing videos on YouTube all you have

to do is type British culture and loads of us will come up

but don't be scared London and many other cities are so so international

chances are that food you miss from home you'll find it in a London shop you'll

probably even find it in our world foods aisle in the supermarket the best way to

learn about British culture through meeting at British people and if you're

finding that difficult try offering your services on a language exchange website

or Facebook group lastly let's talk about your English skills you will need

to be able to prove that you can speak read write and understand English well

you will need to prove this for your visa and you'll also need to prove it to

the University it's likely that the university will request a higher

standard of English than the Border Agency when you look on the university

websites you will see what the language requirements are and different

universities will require different levels so it's worth looking around many

UK universities will offer you a language course to help you prepare and

that will be ongoing throughout your studies and there should be lots of

support as well the universities want you to do well

they don't want to just get you in and what you suffer the exam grades needed

are there for a reason and you will have support throughout your time common

exams are the IELTS the TOEFL the Cambridge Advanced the PT academic

information on all of this down there in the description box the different exams

have different parts to them they're done in different ways they also have

different costs so it's worth looking at which exam is right for you and which

exam is suggested or recommended by your University right guys that's all the

information I can give you today I really hope you enjoyed this lesson

put any questions you have in the comments and I'll do my best to have

some sessions answering them don't forget to check out chapter the link is

in the description box chapter - London comm they've got an amazing selection of

student accommodation locations and options lots of different prices lots of

different lengths of stay it comes highly recommended that's it for today's

lesson I hope you liked it I hope you learned something don't forget to

connect with on all of my social media I've got my

Facebook I've got my Instagram and I've got my Twitter and I will see you soon

Junior Year Survival Guide: How to Prepare - Duration: 8:51.

hey Karen what's up why are you so sad what's up face huh well everyone's been

telling me that junior year is the hardest year ever in high school I'm

gonna take that SAT AP exams you just are tough and everything that's real and

hard and I'm not gonna survive school so that is not going to happen

that is BS okay everyone who says do not listen to them they ain't got it wrong

do not be that person okay you are okay you are fine you know it's going to be

fun it's high school the only difference is that you're one year closer to

graduating which should make it more exciting that you're going into junior

year so this is my junior year a Survival Guide ten things that I wish

that I knew before I wanted to junior year because I was one of the people who

was very very gullible and fell for the stuff that my friends told me are you

ready to die just kidding everyone in junior year is super super pumped but

you're also extremely nervous so first let's go for me I walked into my first

period classroom English language composition age

honors with my teacher I sat in the front row because yes you always want to

sit in the front row if you're I know your friends will probably like I'm good

secondly if you want to survive junior year you got to bring your own food

bring your own snacks classes sometimes take forever the teachers talking a lot

you're kind of falling asleep and it's super super embarrassing when you know I

was sitting in class one time and my stomach rumbled like really really hard

and it sucks because it was only a third period

I needed two more periods to get to my lunch period so it's always handy to

pull out a nice healthy snack munch on it and you're good to go we're gonna do

so third thing to survive bring up planner is crucial to see your dates you

need to be organized there is a lot of stuff engineer homework assignments

presentations and you really want to see something where you can tie manage

yourself junior year I made the mistake of not owning up on her and I can tell

you that I could have been way way way better but when freshman year came in I

had a planner you know fool nerded it out and say it's a life-changer lot but

all prepare for the SATs and a CTS so junior year is the first time that you

take the SAT and a CT for the first first time the actual test and I know it

kind of gets like the date literally when I had to take my SAT exam I was

like who the heck I it's today I have to go I don't even study I took the SAT

exam without studying if I didn't have you know I have to take the SAT again to

get a higher score because I so helping you out prepare for it early first day

of school get yourself a book don't wait til

spring season because you are not there's not enough time it's just not

possible five soul-search for your major you are

so close going into college the senior is just all about applying junior year

you need to sole search you need to know what do you want to do for the rest of

your life you want to know what you want to do you do not want to wait last

minute it's not just cut everyone out for a moment and listen to yourself and

imagine what you want to do in the future

6 take leadership positions if it's in sports clubs electives anything but yeah

junior year colleges are really looking at you that is a year that they look at

when people say yes that's cu that they look at so everything has to be

can you screw up you're not gonna get to college whoa that's not gonna happen

everyone makes mistakes you're not going to want to be perfect they just want to

see that you have a diversity of balance you know it doesn't all have to be

academics if you have other realms of you know leadership sports they're gonna

accept you still because it's making you different trust me people who get really

good in academics but don't have any type of diversity rejected you captain

in a sport being um some type of cabinet member in the colossal don't do it just

because he wanted to look good on college I took up a club of community

service and I was like oh yeah this'll look good on my college application

community service and I'm in the cabinet secretary first day of the dogs that I

went in just didn't like it it wasn't my leadership position want to

do something that represents you and that you love and you have a passion and

then you can put that on your college application you don't want to fake it

you want to be authentic seven confident so in high school you

have to have confidence you don't want to be a Wallflower you don't want to be

shy you also don't want to be too crazy just the right amount of confidence

you're not confident you don't go out of your comfort zone you're not going to

experience new things you're not going to you know there's probably something

out there for you and confidence can be like very very small I mean in a

classroom I didn't really like ass math teacher I built a bond with him and

because I built that bond later on he actually offered me a job as

an assistant which was right at school I mean that wouldn't have happened if I

never spoke up so little things like that confidence it really really counts

sneeze in front of the classroom when it's the most quiet that that's

confident eight nine and ten don't compare yourself to anyone

this is such a big one that I just knew it needed to be three numbers on the

list literally I don't know why every high schooler does this but whenever

they take an exam AP exam every one is the most immature so that happens in

high school but don't be that person and if they ask you about your test you want

a glow globe but I would just say no you know I don't want to tell you because

you don't want to compare yourself that's what everyone does in high school

and it's so yeah would it why do you care let me live in my life don't put

yourself down basically that's what you do when you compare yourself to someone

and if you are doing it to make yourself feel better then you are a horrible

person so those are my things she survived high

school they're kind of obvious but in the moment no one really knows because

they're just listening to everyone around them peer pressure that it is

really hard and it clouds your brain and you don't know but trust me junior year

is really fine except spring season because of all the exams but I mean what

you put that aside everything is cool so don't worry it's like any other year

it's just the first year that you take college courses and if you're not taking

college courses if you're taking like your regular college prep classes it's

still the same it's still the same oh my god dude I'm I'm ready for junior year

yeah junior year for sure will I really fast before you know it you will be

graduating and it's kind of crazy so take my word

so yeah I'm into that oh my God thank you so much

Lissabon Guide | Verlorenes Gepäck trotz 4 (!!!) Stunden Transferzeit - Duration: 4:11.

48 hours in Berlin were enough. As you can see, we are at the airport again.

And this time we are headed to Lisbon. We will be there for the WebSummit

I haven't been there before and can't wait.

I am sure, it's going to be very interesting and that we will have a great time.

After a couple of days in Lisbon, we will be in Cascais for 1 1/2 days and then we are finally flying back to Berlin

and we will stay longer

than 48 hours.

We made it to Lisbon!

We arrived very late in the evening yesterday, because we spent quite a while at the airport after our arrival.

Our luggage haven't made it to Lisbon!

A four hours layover obviously wasn't enough time for Ibera to

transfer our luggage to Lisbon.

I get it. Four hours isn't that much time.

So yep, that's why I am wearing the same clothes I was wearing yesterday;

in which I also had to sleep btw.

And we also have to reschedule our day.

We first have to buy new clothes and washing things

so we can finally get changed and refres ourselves.

All my make-up and washing things are in my suitcase, so I don't have anything here at the apartment.

And I really hope we will have some time to see and enjoy Lisbon this afternoon...

A Quick Guide To Dealing With Poor Performance - Duration: 5:02.

hi it's Steve from salestrong with a video on dealing with poor performance and how to build a

world-class sales team today's topic is a quick guide to dealing with poor

performance the first and most important thing here is to actually deal with it

too many times in my experience we avoid those difficult conversations until it

becomes very uncomfortable for both parties

and one of the exercises I like to get sales leaders to do is the three box

challenge in the three box challenge I ask them to

consider their team and put them into three boxes the first box being who are

the role models those high performers in your team who are getting the results are

doing it in the right way who are those average performers who

with the right kind of support and development could at some point become

the high performers and who are the low performers the people that right now you

just don't feel would make it and once they've given me their percentage split

across their team in to each of the boxes then if they have any in the low

performance box which of course the vast majority do have then I ask why they're

allowing those people to exist in the state inside their team because these

people are the anchors on the team's performance potentially

disproportionately drag it back the second suggestion I have then is have a

look at yourself in terms of your leadership style and I like this model

from Mark Murphy he wrote a book called 100 Percenters and Mark looks at two scales

one is the level of challenge that managers have with their team and the

other scale is the emotional connection that they have with their team and what

Mark has found is that those hundred percenters are those the deliver a

high level of challenge but they have a high level of emotional connection with

their team as well and the question I ask you is only one of those hundred

percenters because if you are it means that you're dealing with your people in

the right way and then the other thing that I suggest is that we can actually

preempt poor performance by being more effective in our coaching and coaching

performance improvements with all of our team and as part of that process what

I'd recommend is you know we should tell

our team where they stand today what the

performance levels are like and be very clear with them on that we should also

sit down with them and work out what their business and personal goals are

over the next period of time and then it'd be lovely to think that there was just a

linear progression of performance improvement over time but this isn't

the reality that we all live within actually performance has peaks and troughs as we

all know and my suggestion is that we help coach people through those peaks

and troughs meaning that the signs of low performance can be dealt with

earlier and therefore we're able to work with that individual to correct those

poor performance issues before they become too much of a major problem the

other thing to consider in your work with performance improvement is to think

about individual situations and whether it's a competence issue or a commitment

issue or a bit of both and if we know whether it's competence or commitment

then we can start to change our style accordingly and have a much more

positive impact on whether someone improves their performance or not so for

example if someone is down here in the low competence low commitment stage then

actually it might be that they're in the wrong role and part of our coaching

might be around coaching them into different roles both within or without

the organisation if someone has low competence in the moment that they're

highly committed they've got a lot of will around it and maybe our approach

here is in guiding more and allowing them to have learning develop

opportunities that will allow their competence levels to lift the other

piece of advice that I have which is useful is having a process in place to

have the individual think through all the options that they've got we can use

both divergent convergent thinking around here divergent thinking being

think being about all the options that you have and then convergent bringing it

down into one two or three specific actions that both parties are in

agreement with would potentially help performance and then the final thing

that I'd like to look at is making sure that accountability for improvements

performance doesn't rest with a sales manager actually it should rest

with the individual who is suffering from the low performance at the moment

and what we sometimes see is a blame game going on with below-the-line

behavior where we might have people ignoring or denying there's an issue

their tail finger-pointing a wait-and-see attitude or confusion tell

me what to do or it's not my job what we want to do is break through some of

these blame game activities and make sure that the individual knows these are

the options that they've got they've chosen those options for themselves and

then they're responsible for delivering on them if you'd like to chat about this

topic in more detail and please contact me at steve@salestrong.co.uk
