00:00:00Are the letters SSSS on your boarding pass a reason to worry?

00:00:06What is much more dangerous than turbulence?

00:00:09Should you try to be the first to board the plane?

00:00:12You are about to find out.

00:00:17You may have noticed that most planes have blue seats.

00:00:21There is no mystery.

00:00:22Airlines choose this color because it is considered to have a calming effect.

00:00:27This color is supposed to put passengers at ease and even help the most nervous passengers to relax.

00:00:33But there is also another more practical reason.

00:00:36Stains, dirt and traces are less visible on a dark fabric.

00:00:43Never throw your boarding pass in a public place.

00:00:46It contains tons of sensitive information about you,

00:00:49including your name and your frequent passenger number.

00:00:52This information can allow someone else to consult your future reservations,

00:00:56remove your seat or even cancel your flights.

00:01:00The best way to manage the boarding pass of a flight that you have already taken

00:01:03is to take it home and put it in a paper grinder.

00:01:08By the way, if you see the letters SSSS or S on your boarding pass,

00:01:14prepare for additional security checks.

00:01:17Instead of these letters, there may be a pattern of damage.

00:01:20Anyway, if you have one of these marks,

00:01:23you can also undergo an in-depth inspection.

00:01:27But why could they choose you for a secondary check?

00:01:30Some of these criteria are to make a reservation for a simple trip

00:01:33or to pay your ticket in kind.

00:01:35In some cases, the selection is also totally random.

00:01:40Look, your door is open and boarding has begun.

00:01:43Wait, where are you going in a hurry?

00:01:45No need to hurry.

00:01:47The trick of experienced globetrotters is to always board last.

00:01:51First, you don't waste time queuing.

00:01:55Then, there are fewer people on the platform and in the aisle.

00:01:58And you finally spend less time on the plane.

00:02:00Anyway, no one will take your seat, you know.

00:02:04However, there is an exception.

00:02:05If you have a bulky luggage,

00:02:07it may be more wise not to board last.

00:02:10Otherwise, there is a good chance that the entire luggage compartment

00:02:12will be occupied before you arrive at your seat.

00:02:16Your luggage could then end up in another part of the plane

00:02:19and you will have to wait for the other passengers to arrive

00:02:21before you can pick it up.

00:02:23Flute!

00:02:25Before take-off and landing,

00:02:27the boarding agents usually operate a small switch on the toilet door.

00:02:31This prevents it from opening when it is not supposed to.

00:02:34With the same ease, a boarding agent can open the door

00:02:37when someone is inside.

00:02:39Just lift the toilet panel and put the handle in the unlocked position.

00:02:46Pilots don't really care about turbulence.

00:02:48It is because they know that there is something much more dangerous

00:02:50than any turbulence.

00:02:52Ascending currents.

00:02:54In most cases, the turbulence makes you fall only a few meters,

00:02:58even if you feel like you are falling from the Empire State Building.

00:03:03If the turbulence is strong enough

00:03:05for the pilot to ask the air hostesses to sit down,

00:03:07the plane can go down from 3 to 6 meters.

00:03:10But in fact, the most extreme and violent turbulence are very rare.

00:03:14An ascending current is a large mass of air,

00:03:17which is part of a storm or another meteorological phenomenon

00:03:20that moves upwards.

00:03:22However, pilots do not see the ascending currents on their radar at night.

00:03:25And when a plane meets one,

00:03:27it is as if it was riding on a huge doden at 800 km per hour.

00:03:31An ascending current is also extremely dangerous

00:03:34because it can push a plane up to dangerous altitudes.

00:03:41Modern planes are equipped with a special system

00:03:43that detects other planes, mountains

00:03:45and different solid objects on their trajectory.

00:03:48At 16 km from another plane,

00:03:50a voice in the cockpit begins to repeat

00:03:52Traffic! Traffic!

00:03:548 km more,

00:03:56and the same voice begins to give instructions to the pilot.

00:04:01Planes can operate with a single engine,

00:04:03even during take-off and landing.

00:04:05A simultaneous breakdown of the two engines is almost impossible to imagine.

00:04:09But in this case, a plane would not fall from the sky like a stone.

00:04:13Pilots would have up to 20 minutes

00:04:15to find an appropriate place to land.

00:04:18The way the cabin is pressurized

00:04:20has a significant effect on your taste buds.

00:04:23You lose up to 30% of your ability to taste sweet and salty things.

00:04:28In other words,

00:04:29it is not that the food served on the planes is not tasty,

00:04:32but you do not feel their flavor.

00:04:34This is also the main reason why 4Ring companies,

00:04:36airlines,

00:04:37add salt and spices to the dishes they prepare.

00:04:41But do you know what could help you?

00:04:43Soundproof headphones.

00:04:45For a mysterious reason,

00:04:46which probably has a scientific explanation,

00:04:48cutting all the ambient noise

00:04:50can help your taste buds.

00:04:53Each of these dings you hear during the flight

00:04:55also has its own meaning.

00:04:57In most airlines,

00:04:58a boom shortly after take-off

00:05:00indicates that the landing gear is retracting.

00:05:03Three consecutive dings mean there is more emergency than one.

00:05:07A high-pitched sound

00:05:08informs the crew members

00:05:09that their colleagues need them in another part of the plane.

00:05:13Three low-pitched sounds

00:05:14mean that there is serious turbulence to come.

00:05:17The crew members are supposed to tidy up the food trucks,

00:05:20take a seat and fasten their seatbelts.

00:05:24If you are a nervous passenger,

00:05:25choose a seat in the middle of the cabin.

00:05:27Turbulences mainly affect the front and rear parts of the cabin.

00:05:31The central part, which is above the wings,

00:05:34does not shake as much.

00:05:37Pilots and co-pilots take different meals.

00:05:40The reason for this precaution is very simple.

00:05:42Imagine that the two pilots eat the same dish

00:05:44and that they have a food poisoning.

00:05:47In this case,

00:05:48neither of them will be able to control the plane.

00:05:51If they still want to have the same dish

00:05:53and do not want to accept to take something else,

00:05:55there is a safety net.

00:05:57Pilots do not take their meals at the same time.

00:06:00If a pilot has eaten the dish

00:06:01and still feels well several hours later,

00:06:03the other pilot can also take his meal.

00:06:07What would you say if you were asked

00:06:09what is the most disgusting place in a plane?

00:06:11No, it is not the toilet seat.

00:06:13It is not even in the toilets.

00:06:16Air hostesses recommend

00:06:17to pay particular attention to headrests,

00:06:19seat covers, tablets and seatbelts.

00:06:24Experiments have shown

00:06:25that a third of all seatbelts

00:06:27are covered with fungi and mold.

00:06:29Most tablets are covered with bacteria.

00:06:32Seat pockets are also very dirty.

00:06:35But headrests are the dirtiest of all.

00:06:38In most cases,

00:06:39flight attendants do not have time

00:06:41to change or disinfect them between flights.

00:06:47If the flight attendant announces

00:06:49that he is finishing administrative formalities,

00:06:52it means that he is busy reviewing the flight itinerary

00:06:54or waiting for the ground staff

00:06:56to prepare the flight book.

00:06:57This is a journal

00:06:58containing the official report of a trip.

00:07:02Some planes,

00:07:03especially long-haul flights,

00:07:04have secret rooms

00:07:05where crew members can rest.

00:07:08These rooms,

00:07:09called crew rest compartments,

00:07:11are located at the back of the plane

00:07:13or behind the cockpit.

00:07:16Such a compartment

00:07:17can contain up to 10 comfortable beds

00:07:19where flight attendants can rest.

00:07:22The windows of the plane

00:07:23are made of super-resistant plexiglass

00:07:25which can easily withstand high speeds.

00:07:27The windows have a special shape

00:07:29so that the high pressure inside the cabin

00:07:31pushes them against the fuselage of the plane.

00:07:35In other words,

00:07:36plane windows

00:07:37have very little chance of breaking.

00:07:41In the past,

00:07:42plane windows were square,

00:07:43but the pressure accumulated

00:07:45in the corners of these windows,

00:07:46which made them weak points par excellence.

00:07:49This means

00:07:50that each square window

00:07:51had four weak points.

00:07:53They were therefore likely to crush

00:07:55under the enormous pressure of high altitudes.

00:07:58Fortunately,

00:07:59the design of curved plane windows

00:08:01has solved this problem once and for all.

00:08:04This shape distributes the pressure

00:08:05and reduces the probability of cracks

00:08:07or any other damage.

00:08:10Planes are regularly hit by lightning,

00:08:12at least once a year

00:08:13or once every 1,000 hours of flight.

00:08:17Nowadays,

00:08:18it's totally safe.

00:08:20The electric charge

00:08:21simply crosses the aluminum hull of the plane.

00:08:23It does no damage to the plane.

00:08:27But did you know

00:08:28that planes are not only hit by lightning,

00:08:30but that they also trigger lightning?

00:08:34When a plane crosses a cloud,

00:08:35the friction between its fuselage and the air

00:08:37creates static electricity.

00:08:40And sometimes,

00:08:41it can cause lightning.

00:08:45Taking a plane

00:08:46has become a routine for many people.

00:08:48But even great travelers

00:08:50sometimes don't know

00:08:51what to never do

00:08:52on a plane.

00:08:54And to begin with,

00:08:55you never get on foot.

00:08:56It's one of the golden rules

00:08:57of traveling by plane.

00:08:59Not to mention

00:09:00the unpleasant odors,

00:09:02the floor of the plane

00:09:03is very dirty.

00:09:05People suffering

00:09:06from contagious foot problems

00:09:08may have walked barefoot

00:09:09in the aisles before you.

00:09:11And it is very likely

00:09:12that there is a lot of dirt

00:09:13left by previous passengers.

00:09:15And we're not even talking

00:09:16about the floor of the toilets.

00:09:19If your feet need a little freedom,

00:09:21take off your shoes.

00:09:22But at least keep your socks on.

00:09:23Or wear a pair of light slippers.

00:09:27Don't forget that the pressurized air

00:09:28in the cabin

00:09:29is as dry as that

00:09:30of the Sahara desert.

00:09:32With only 20% humidity.

00:09:35That's why you can feel

00:09:36a certain discomfort

00:09:37in the skin

00:09:38after a flight.

00:09:40Wouldn't it be more fair

00:09:41to install air humidifiers

00:09:42in the cabin?

00:09:44In reality,

00:09:45the extra weight

00:09:46would cost too much money

00:09:47to airlines.

00:09:49In addition,

00:09:50the wing of the plane

00:09:51is mainly made of aluminum

00:09:52and other metals.

00:09:53And the humid air

00:09:54could cause corrosion.

00:09:55So don't forget

00:09:56to bring a moisturizing cream

00:09:57and use it during the flight.

00:10:00Always raise your tablet

00:10:01as soon as the plane

00:10:02begins to move on the tarmac.

00:10:04And never lower it

00:10:05during take-off and landing.

00:10:07This is a safety measure

00:10:08that guarantees

00:10:09that you and the other passengers

00:10:10will have a clear passage

00:10:11in case of emergency evacuation.

00:10:14In the same vein,

00:10:15keep your seat in a vertical position

00:10:17during take-off and landing.

00:10:19First of all,

00:10:20an inclined seat

00:10:21can seriously slow down

00:10:22an emergency evacuation

00:10:23because it blocks the person

00:10:24sitting behind.

00:10:26Then,

00:10:27the more you lean backwards,

00:10:28the more difficult it is

00:10:29to put yourself

00:10:30in a safe position

00:10:31during an emergency landing.

00:10:34Try to avoid sleeping

00:10:35during or just after

00:10:36take-off and landing.

00:10:38First of all,

00:10:39this is not good for your health.

00:10:41The main problem

00:10:42is that the air pressure

00:10:43inside the cabin

00:10:44changes very quickly

00:10:45during these flight phases.

00:10:47And this affects

00:10:48the air pressure

00:10:49in your ears.

00:10:51It is therefore important

00:10:52to be vigilant

00:10:53during these phases,

00:10:54to relax

00:10:55and clear your ears

00:10:56by, for example,

00:10:57yawning

00:10:58or swallowing frequently.

00:10:59Chewing chewing gum

00:11:00also works.

00:11:01If you sleep,

00:11:02you cannot do it,

00:11:03which can cause

00:11:04permanent damage.

00:11:05And of course,

00:11:06there is the question

00:11:07of safety.

00:11:08Most accidents

00:11:09occur during take-off

00:11:10and landing.

00:11:11If you sleep

00:11:12during these phases,

00:11:13you may not be

00:11:14alert enough

00:11:15in case of emergency.

00:11:17The following recommendation

00:11:18comes from the Agency

00:11:19for Environmental Protection.

00:11:21According to it,

00:11:22it is preferable

00:11:23not to drink hot drinks

00:11:24on the plane.

00:11:26The water used

00:11:27to prepare tea and coffee

00:11:28does not come from bottles.

00:11:30It is tap water.

00:11:31However,

00:11:32the plane's water tanks

00:11:33are often old

00:11:34and full of bacteria.

00:11:35In 2004,

00:11:36a study revealed

00:11:37that more than 12%

00:11:38of water samples

00:11:39contained harmful bacteria.

00:11:42If you still decide

00:11:43to drink a hot drink

00:11:44on the plane,

00:11:45never pour yourself

00:11:46coffee or tea.

00:11:47The on-board staff

00:11:48is trained to do this

00:11:49in the crowded aisles

00:11:50of a moving plane.

00:11:51This way,

00:11:52you will avoid

00:11:53the risk of burning yourself

00:11:54or other passengers.

00:11:56It is preferable

00:11:57not to order

00:11:58Coca-Cola on a plane.

00:12:00The pressure in the cabin

00:12:01causes a lot of foam.

00:12:02However,

00:12:03for obvious reasons,

00:12:04the stewardesses

00:12:05do not want to serve you

00:12:06a cup full of foam.

00:12:08This is why

00:12:09they only fill

00:12:10half of the cup.

00:12:11They wait for the foam

00:12:12to fall down

00:12:13and then they finish

00:12:14pouring it.

00:12:15This can take

00:12:16a long time.

00:12:18Keep your ventilator open.

00:12:19This way,

00:12:20you will reduce

00:12:21the spread of germs.

00:12:23The planes are equipped

00:12:24with high-quality

00:12:25air filters.

00:12:26They retain up to

00:12:2799% of germs

00:12:28in air suspension.

00:12:29So you have nothing

00:12:30to worry about.

00:12:31But don't forget

00:12:32to wipe your tablet.

00:12:33With 8 times

00:12:34more bacteria

00:12:35than the toilet water

00:12:36flush button,

00:12:37it is the dirtiest

00:12:38place on board.

00:12:39Another thing to avoid

00:12:40is to put your head

00:12:41on the window

00:12:42if you have a seat

00:12:43next to the window.

00:12:44You don't know

00:12:45what's going to happen

00:12:46if you travel in front of you

00:12:47and in any case,

00:12:48the window

00:12:49may be covered

00:12:50with germs.

00:12:51Avoid wearing

00:12:52high heels

00:12:53during a flight.

00:12:55Your survival

00:12:56may be at stake.

00:12:58Indeed,

00:12:59these two types of shoes

00:13:00make it very difficult

00:13:01to evacuate

00:13:02the plane quickly.

00:13:04If you wear

00:13:05high heels,

00:13:06you will have to

00:13:07leave them behind

00:13:08in case the crew

00:13:09uses emergency

00:13:10sneakers

00:13:11during an evacuation.

00:13:13The heels

00:13:14may damage

00:13:15the sneakers

00:13:16and you will have

00:13:17to remove them.

00:13:18Now,

00:13:19ask yourself

00:13:20if you really want

00:13:21to get out

00:13:22of the plane barefoot.

00:13:23No?

00:13:24Then,

00:13:25opt for

00:13:26robust shoes

00:13:27with a solid sole.

00:13:28In this case,

00:13:29you won't be

00:13:30barefoot

00:13:31on a scorching

00:13:32tarmac

00:13:33or in the wild.

00:13:35Don't put heavy objects

00:13:36in the upper compartments.

00:13:37In the event of

00:13:38strong turbulence,

00:13:39these objects

00:13:40may not stay

00:13:41inside

00:13:42and,

00:13:43as a result,

00:13:44you may injure

00:13:45yourself

00:13:46or other passengers.

00:13:47That's why,

00:13:48if it's difficult

00:13:49to lift an object

00:13:50to place it

00:13:51in the upper compartment,

00:13:52it's better

00:13:53to put it

00:13:54under the seat

00:13:55in front of you

00:13:56or elsewhere.

00:13:57Don't blame the pilot

00:13:58for a sudden landing.

00:13:59If you experience it

00:14:00in bad weather,

00:14:01it may be

00:14:02intentional.

00:14:03If the runway

00:14:04is covered

00:14:05with water

00:14:06or snow,

00:14:07the plane

00:14:08must touch

00:14:09the ground

00:14:10hard

00:14:11to break

00:14:12or respond

00:14:13to any command.

00:14:16Deploying an emergency

00:14:17toboggan

00:14:18when there is

00:14:19no emergency

00:14:20is a very bad idea.

00:14:21This can lead

00:14:22to several hours

00:14:23of delay

00:14:24and cost thousands

00:14:25of dollars

00:14:26to the airline

00:14:27to put the toboggan

00:14:28back in its container.

00:14:30If you're wondering

00:14:31why someone

00:14:32would do such a thing,

00:14:33some people seem

00:14:34to think

00:14:35it will help them

00:14:36to get off

00:14:37the plane faster.

00:14:39Don't ignore

00:14:40the instructions

00:14:41of the flight attendants

00:14:42to open the toboggan

00:14:43storage

00:14:44during take-off

00:14:45and landing.

00:14:46In case of emergency,

00:14:47this will allow them

00:14:48to see what's going on

00:14:49outside,

00:14:50assess the situation

00:14:51and act quickly

00:14:52by organizing the evacuation.

00:14:53For example,

00:14:54if there is a fire

00:14:55in front of an exit,

00:14:56they will redirect

00:14:57the passengers

00:14:58to another exit.

00:15:00Avoid carrying

00:15:01spray deodorants

00:15:02or shaving foam

00:15:03in your luggage.

00:15:04These two products

00:15:05tend to explode

00:15:06in mid-flight

00:15:07and are therefore

00:15:08not allowed on board.

00:15:09It is preferable

00:15:10to use spray deodorants

00:15:11instead.

00:15:13External batteries

00:15:14should not be

00:15:15in the recorded luggage

00:15:16either.

00:15:17And if you want to

00:15:18carry one on board,

00:15:19its capacity

00:15:20should not exceed

00:15:2120,000 mAh per hour.

00:15:22In addition,

00:15:23you should not use them

00:15:24during flight

00:15:25because they

00:15:26may catch fire.

00:15:27In general,

00:15:28lithium batteries

00:15:29can be used

00:15:30safely,

00:15:31but as they are very powerful,

00:15:32they can catch fire

00:15:33if they are not

00:15:34treated carefully,

00:15:35if they are poorly used

00:15:36or if there is

00:15:37a manufacturing defect.

00:15:38Such batteries

00:15:39can catch fire

00:15:40on board aircraft

00:15:41as well as

00:15:42when handling

00:15:43on the ground.

00:15:44Do not worry

00:15:45about scanners

00:15:46in airports.

00:15:47They are not dangerous

00:15:48for your health.

00:15:49Otherwise,

00:15:50airport employees

00:15:51could not

00:15:52approach them

00:15:53without wearing

00:15:54special clothes.

00:15:55Even when you

00:15:56pass in front of

00:15:57a luggage scanner,

00:15:58the risk is minimal.

00:15:59And finally,

00:16:00do not behave badly

00:16:01on board

00:16:02and have a respectful

00:16:03attitude

00:16:04towards staff

00:16:05and other passengers.

00:16:06And also,

00:16:07never try to land

00:16:08on the wrong side

00:16:09of the plane.

00:16:10In movies,

00:16:11we sometimes see

00:16:12the main character

00:16:13taking the controls

00:16:14of the plane

00:16:15instead of the pilots.

00:16:16Unfortunately,

00:16:17it is almost impossible

00:16:18in real life.

00:16:19Even if a person

00:16:20is very talented,

00:16:21that she likes

00:16:22computer simulators

00:16:23very faithful

00:16:24to reality

00:16:25and that she is

00:16:26ready to follow

00:16:27all the instructions

00:16:28from the ground,

00:16:29she may fail

00:16:30because of

00:16:31a simple factor

00:16:32the stress.

00:16:33It is true

00:16:34that there have been

00:16:35some cases

00:16:36where amateurs

00:16:37landed

00:16:38small private planes

00:16:39after the incapacity

00:16:40of a pilot.

00:16:41But there have never

00:16:42been cases

00:16:43where a non-pilot

00:16:44landed a

00:16:45passenger plane.

00:16:46It only exists

00:16:47in movies.

00:16:48You heat a packet

00:16:49of popcorn

00:16:50in the microwave

00:16:51and there are

00:16:52small unburst grains

00:16:53left.

00:16:54You can get rid of

00:16:55them before

00:16:56opening the bag.

00:16:57You see this

00:16:58tiny hole

00:16:59at the top?

00:17:00Shake the packet

00:17:01over the plate

00:17:02and all the

00:17:03unburst grains

00:17:04will fall

00:17:05through the hole.

00:17:06It is much easier

00:17:07to take off

00:17:08the packets

00:17:09from the side

00:17:10rather than

00:17:11from the top.

00:17:12Thus,

00:17:13the paper

00:17:14remains flat

00:17:15and its bottom

00:17:16does not bend.

00:17:17Peel your bananas

00:17:18starting from the top

00:17:19so you will not

00:17:20have to press

00:17:21the bottom of the fruit.

00:17:22The hole

00:17:23on the handle

00:17:24of a pan

00:17:25can be used

00:17:26not only

00:17:27to hang it

00:17:28on the wall

00:17:29but also

00:17:30to insert a spoon

00:17:31while you

00:17:32prepare a soup.

00:17:33The carton containers

00:17:34containing

00:17:35Chinese food

00:17:36can be opened

00:17:37so that the four

00:17:38paper walls

00:17:39rest flat

00:17:40on the table.

00:17:41You just

00:17:42have to unfold

00:17:43the container.

00:17:44Thus,

00:17:45you will get

00:17:46a very practical plate

00:17:47and the burning foods

00:17:48will cool down

00:17:49faster.

00:17:50An easy way

00:17:51to peel an orange

00:17:52is to cut the top

00:17:53and the bottom

00:17:54of the fruit

00:17:55then cut it

00:17:56in half

00:17:57and finally

00:17:58open the fruit.

00:17:59Few people

00:18:00know how to use

00:18:01a travel pillow.

00:18:02Usually,

00:18:03the two ends

00:18:04of the pillow

00:18:05are directed

00:18:06to the front.

00:18:07The correct position

00:18:08is to put the pillow

00:18:09in the other direction.

00:18:10The bow

00:18:11must be under your chin

00:18:12and the two other ends

00:18:13must be turned

00:18:14to the back.

00:18:15Your neck

00:18:16will be much better

00:18:17in this position

00:18:18and you will have

00:18:19a great nap.

00:18:20Your ceiling fan

00:18:21has two modes.

00:18:22One for winter

00:18:23and one for summer.

00:18:24Once you have

00:18:25found the switch,

00:18:26position it up

00:18:27to activate

00:18:28the winter mode

00:18:29or down

00:18:30for the summer mode.

00:18:31In summer mode,

00:18:32the fan pushes

00:18:33the air up

00:18:34in winter mode.

00:18:35According to the rules

00:18:36of the label,

00:18:37you must first

00:18:38let out

00:18:39those who leave

00:18:40a room,

00:18:41a building

00:18:42or an elevator

00:18:43and only then

00:18:44you can enter.

00:18:45If you are inside,

00:18:46then you come out

00:18:47first.

00:18:48This simple rule

00:18:49will allow you

00:18:50to avoid a collision.

00:18:51In restaurants

00:18:52and cafes,

00:18:53there are often

00:18:54tooth cures

00:18:55on the table.

00:18:56Most people

00:18:57use them

00:18:58incorrectly

00:18:59by curing their teeth

00:19:00immediately

00:19:01after eating.

00:19:02The right way

00:19:03to do it

00:19:04is to go to the bathroom

00:19:05and carefully

00:19:06remove

00:19:07all the food

00:19:08from your mouth.

00:19:09Here is the right way

00:19:10to tie a trash bag

00:19:11without tearing it.

00:19:12Do not tie

00:19:13the thin strips together.

00:19:14Hold them in the air.

00:19:15Make a knot

00:19:16with the bag

00:19:17and wrap the strips

00:19:18around the knot

00:19:19by passing

00:19:20through the loop.

00:19:21To dry your shoes

00:19:22properly

00:19:23in the laundry dryer,

00:19:24you must tie

00:19:25the laces together.

00:19:26Then put the shoes

00:19:27inside the laundry dryer

00:19:28but leave

00:19:29the ends

00:19:30of the laces

00:19:31out of the way.

00:19:32Finally,

00:19:33close the lid

00:19:34so that

00:19:35they hold

00:19:36the laces.

00:19:37The wire earphones

00:19:38adapt much better

00:19:39to your ear

00:19:40if you wear them

00:19:41so that the tips

00:19:42with the wire

00:19:43are directed

00:19:44upwards.

00:19:45Then the wire

00:19:46can be placed

00:19:47around the earlobe.

00:19:48This way

00:19:49your earphones

00:19:50will not fall.

00:19:51A hair clip

00:19:52must be fixed

00:19:53with the wavy side

00:19:54closer to the head

00:19:55so that it does not

00:19:56fall off your hair.

00:19:57Do not brush

00:19:58your teeth

00:19:59with an electric toothbrush

00:20:00because it is

00:20:01extremely fast.

00:20:02The toothbrush

00:20:03must go

00:20:04smoothly between the teeth.

00:20:05You can open

00:20:06a bag of sugar

00:20:07with one hand.

00:20:08Hold the bag

00:20:09above your cup.

00:20:10Place it

00:20:11on your index

00:20:12and your middle finger

00:20:13then press

00:20:14your thumb

00:20:15in the middle

00:20:16of the bag.

00:20:17This will tear

00:20:18the center

00:20:19and the sugar

00:20:20will flow

00:20:21easily.

00:20:22When you pour

00:20:23juice or milk

00:20:24into a glass,

00:20:25keep the opening

00:20:26of the brick

00:20:27at the top

00:20:28so that there

00:20:29is no gap.

00:20:30When you wear

00:20:31sunglasses

00:20:32and you go inside,

00:20:33where do you put them?

00:20:34Do you leave them

00:20:35on your head?

00:20:36Do you hang them

00:20:37on the collar of your shirt

00:20:38or do you put them

00:20:39in your pocket?

00:20:40The best way

00:20:41is to put the glasses

00:20:42in the chest pocket

00:20:43with the glasses

00:20:44inside

00:20:45and a single branch

00:20:46that exceeds

00:20:47the pocket.

00:20:48Your glasses

00:20:49will be safe

00:20:50and the glasses

00:20:51will be protected

00:20:52from damage.

00:20:53When you

00:20:54flush the toilet,

00:20:55always cover

00:20:56the toilets

00:20:57with the lid.

00:20:58If you leave

00:20:59the lid open,

00:21:00you don't need

00:21:01to tear

00:21:02the plastic packaging

00:21:03of the dishwasher

00:21:04and the sink.

00:21:05You just need

00:21:06to put it

00:21:07in the tank

00:21:08and close it.

00:21:09The water

00:21:10will dissolve the paper.

00:21:11This does not work

00:21:12with all brands,

00:21:13so check the instructions.

00:21:14The compartment

00:21:15under the oven

00:21:16is not only used

00:21:17to store pans and pans.

00:21:18You can put dishes

00:21:19with food in it.

00:21:20The heat of the oven

00:21:21will keep

00:21:22the food warm.

00:21:23It is useful

00:21:24when you are waiting

00:21:25for guests

00:21:26who are late.

00:21:27Almost everyone

00:21:28has a dishwasher

00:21:29with a round rubber shape

00:21:30in case

00:21:31you need to

00:21:32flush the toilet,

00:21:33as we see

00:21:34in some movies.

00:21:35In reality,

00:21:36this dishwasher

00:21:37is necessary

00:21:38to flush the sink.

00:21:39For the toilet,

00:21:40you need

00:21:41to use

00:21:42another type

00:21:43of dishwasher.

00:21:44You eat

00:21:45faritas

00:21:46and all the food

00:21:47falls on the other side.

00:21:48Put another tortilla

00:21:49on your plate

00:21:50and the food

00:21:51that fell

00:21:52could be used

00:21:53for another farita.

00:21:54By using

00:21:55a vegetable peeler,

00:21:56most people

00:21:57only move

00:21:58back and forth

00:21:59to remove the skin.

00:22:00Then,

00:22:01they put the blade

00:22:02back in place

00:22:03by peeling again.

00:22:04You can cut the skin

00:22:05in both directions

00:22:06without removing the peeler.

00:22:07This will be faster

00:22:08and more efficient.

00:22:09Do not put the belt

00:22:10of the dishwasher

00:22:11in the loops

00:22:12of the back.

00:22:13Take it out completely

00:22:14and simply put it

00:22:15in the side loops.

00:22:16Then,

00:22:17tie the belt

00:22:18as you wish.

00:22:19In this way,

00:22:20the dishwasher

00:22:21will hold better

00:22:22on your body.

00:22:23Most of us

00:22:24use badly

00:22:25the paper toilet paper.

00:22:26The right way

00:22:27to do it

00:22:28is to put the paper

00:22:29in such a way

00:22:30that the round side

00:22:31in the middle

00:22:32points to the back

00:22:33of the toilet.

00:22:34Advertisements

00:22:35show us

00:22:36that we have to

00:22:37cover the entire surface

00:22:38of the toothbrush

00:22:39with toothpaste.

00:22:40In reality,

00:22:41a hazelnut

00:22:42is enough

00:22:43to brush your teeth.

00:22:44But manufacturers

00:22:45want you to

00:22:46use the toothpaste

00:22:47quickly

00:22:48and buy another one.

00:22:49This is why

00:22:50they show you

00:22:51this wrong

00:22:52and inexpensive way

00:22:53to use it.

00:22:55The most effective way

00:22:56to do it

00:22:57is to apply it

00:22:58in the evening

00:22:59before going to bed.

00:23:01The easiest way

00:23:02to peel the garlic

00:23:03is to put it

00:23:04in the microwave.

00:23:06Cut the upper part.

00:23:07Then,

00:23:08put the garlic

00:23:09in the microwave

00:23:10for 20 to 30 seconds.

00:23:12The skin will peel

00:23:13much more easily.

00:23:16Most people

00:23:17cut the pizza

00:23:18from the center

00:23:19to the bottom.

00:23:20The filling

00:23:21then falls off the dough

00:23:22and you have to

00:23:23pick it up again

00:23:24several times.

00:23:25The correct

00:23:26and practical way

00:23:27to do it

00:23:28is to cut the pizza

00:23:29in half

00:23:30from one side

00:23:31to the other.

00:23:32You will only need

00:23:33two slices

00:23:34to divide the pizza

00:23:35into four slices,

00:23:36three slices

00:23:37to divide it into six

00:23:38and so on.

00:23:40It is not necessary

00:23:41to wrap your suitcase

00:23:42with a protective plastic film.

00:23:45You can simply

00:23:46put a T-shirt around it.

00:23:48Make sure

00:23:49that the handle

00:23:50exceeds the collar

00:23:51and don't forget

00:23:52to make a small cut

00:23:53for the side handle.

00:23:55The tablet

00:23:56fixed to the seat

00:23:57in front of you

00:23:58in the plane

00:23:59can also be used

00:24:00as a hammock

00:24:01for your feet.

00:24:02You just need

00:24:03to attach a belt,

00:24:04a cover

00:24:05or a towel

00:24:06around the tablet

00:24:07and hang your legs there.

00:24:09To go to a letter

00:24:10or a word

00:24:11on the screen

00:24:12of your phone,

00:24:13it is not necessary

00:24:14to press your finger

00:24:15on the text area.

00:24:17Press the space button

00:24:18and hold it down

00:24:19to control the cursor.

00:24:20This works

00:24:21on all iPhones.

00:24:23The Spotlight function

00:24:24on your Mac

00:24:25is not only designed

00:24:26for quick search

00:24:27of files and applications.

00:24:30You can use

00:24:31the search bar

00:24:32as a calculator.

00:24:33Just enter

00:24:34a mathematical operation

00:24:35that you want to solve.

00:24:37Spotlight also uses

00:24:38the data

00:24:39of the internal dictionary.

00:24:41Grab any word

00:24:42and get the data

00:24:43of the dictionary

00:24:44on that word.

00:24:46If you are hungry

00:24:47and don't know

00:24:48what to order

00:24:49in a restaurant,

00:24:50there are special

00:24:51mobile applications

00:24:52to help you.

00:24:53They show you

00:24:54the appearance of the dish,

00:24:55its size

00:24:56and its weight.

00:24:57First of all,

00:24:58you probably already know

00:24:59that there are microbes

00:25:00everywhere

00:25:01and that it is impossible

00:25:02for humans

00:25:03to get rid of them.

00:25:04These tiny creatures

00:25:05strengthen

00:25:06our immune system.

00:25:08Our body

00:25:09learns to protect itself

00:25:10by being constantly

00:25:11confronted with bacteria.

00:25:13So don't worry

00:25:14too much about

00:25:15what will follow,

00:25:16OK?

00:25:17Welcome to one

00:25:18of the favorite places

00:25:19for bacteria

00:25:20and microbes.

00:25:21The hotel rooms.

00:25:23Yes,

00:25:24they seem so clean,

00:25:25but in some respects

00:25:26they are more dangerous

00:25:27than a junkyard

00:25:29where everything is dirty

00:25:30and where you are afraid

00:25:31to touch anything.

00:25:33But the dirtiness

00:25:34of the hotel rooms

00:25:35is invisible.

00:25:37The microbes

00:25:38are waiting for you

00:25:39and there are a lot of them.

00:25:40The first problems

00:25:41already appear

00:25:42in the elevator.

00:25:44These buttons

00:25:45are full of various bacteria.

00:25:47Let's suppose

00:25:48they are never disinfected.

00:25:51It would then become

00:25:52the theater

00:25:53of a deadly fight

00:25:54between billions of microbes.

00:25:57Take a look

00:25:58at an ordinary

00:25:59residential building.

00:26:00There are also elevators.

00:26:02These inhabitants

00:26:03always transmit

00:26:04the same microbes

00:26:05by pressing the buttons.

00:26:07Their body gets used to it

00:26:08and quickly develops

00:26:09effective defense.

00:26:12But in hotels,

00:26:13residents often change.

00:26:14A person coming

00:26:15from such or such hot country

00:26:16can transmit a bacteria

00:26:17that will make a person

00:26:18from a cold country sick.

00:26:21After touching these buttons,

00:26:22it is therefore recommended

00:26:23to wash your hands carefully.

00:26:26The elevator opens

00:26:27and you head

00:26:28to your room.

00:26:30Be careful,

00:26:31there is another danger

00:26:32right in front of you.

00:26:33Do you see the handle

00:26:34of the door?

00:26:35It is also covered

00:26:36with microbes.

00:26:38How many people

00:26:39have touched it before you?

00:26:41When was it cleaned

00:26:42for the last time?

00:26:45Do you know why

00:26:46it is more dangerous

00:26:47than a toilet seat?

00:26:50It is because the microbes

00:26:51accumulate on our hands.

00:26:53When we do not wash them,

00:26:54we transfer bacteria

00:26:55from one place to another

00:26:56by touching the surfaces

00:26:57of different objects.

00:27:01It is therefore best

00:27:02to touch this handle

00:27:03with the same hand

00:27:04that you used

00:27:05to press the button

00:27:06in the elevator.

00:27:08As soon as you enter the room,

00:27:09wash your hands.

00:27:11The good news is

00:27:12that the hotel staff

00:27:13cleans the bathroom

00:27:14much better

00:27:15than the rest of the room.

00:27:16You are therefore

00:27:17a little safer here.

00:27:19But still look at

00:27:20the corners and squares

00:27:21of this room.

00:27:23If you see black spots

00:27:24somewhere,

00:27:25it means that

00:27:26there is mold.

00:27:27It can cause

00:27:28allergic reactions,

00:27:29nasal discharge,

00:27:30irritation of the eyes,

00:27:31etc.

00:27:32It can even be

00:27:33quite dangerous,

00:27:34but the hotel staff

00:27:35is generally very vigilant.

00:27:36It is therefore unlikely

00:27:37that there are any

00:27:38in your room,

00:27:39unless it is

00:27:40a cheap hotel.

00:27:41But you are careful,

00:27:42aren't you?

00:27:43By the way,

00:27:44did you know that

00:27:45there are more germs

00:27:46on toilet paper

00:27:47than on toilet seats?

00:27:50It is therefore a mistake

00:27:51to cover the toilet paper

00:27:52with glasses

00:27:53before sitting down.

00:27:54First of all,

00:27:55many people

00:27:56will have touched it

00:27:57and placed bacteria in it.

00:27:59Then,

00:28:00small splashes

00:28:01come to dirty the roller

00:28:02when you pull the chassis.

00:28:05The microbes feel

00:28:06more comfortable on paper

00:28:07than on smooth surfaces.

00:28:08You should therefore

00:28:09lose this habit.

00:28:10But if the roller

00:28:11is protected

00:28:12by a metal or plastic cover,

00:28:13there is a good chance

00:28:14that it is

00:28:15protected from the microbes.

00:28:17After having done

00:28:18your needs

00:28:19and washing your hands,

00:28:20two options are available to you.

00:28:23Wipe yourself

00:28:24with a paper towel

00:28:25or use a hand dryer.

00:28:27In one case

00:28:28as in the other,

00:28:29you will not escape germs.

00:28:31But if you use the hand dryer,

00:28:32the bacteria

00:28:33will fly all over the room.

00:28:35It is therefore better

00:28:36to use a paper towel

00:28:37than a hand dryer.

00:28:39When you leave the toilet,

00:28:40do not think

00:28:41that your troubles are over.

00:28:44Microbes

00:28:45are not all harmless.

00:28:47Some of the most common

00:28:48bacteria in hotels

00:28:49cause intestinal infections.

00:28:52If you do not want

00:28:53to spend the rest of your holidays

00:28:54next door or on the toilet,

00:28:56prepare yourself

00:28:57to fight colonies

00:28:58of tiny parasites.

00:29:01The first thing to do

00:29:02is to wash the glasses

00:29:03and cups with soap.

00:29:05Some travelers

00:29:06bring their own cups

00:29:07and it's a good idea.

00:29:09Then look around you

00:29:10and ask yourself

00:29:11what are the places

00:29:12that people touch the most.

00:29:15It is the remote control,

00:29:16the coffee maker,

00:29:17the refrigerator,

00:29:18the handles,

00:29:19the tables,

00:29:20the hair dryer

00:29:21and the windows.

00:29:23Relax,

00:29:24you do not need

00:29:25to do the cleaning

00:29:26instead of the staff.

00:29:28You just need to have

00:29:29wipes and disinfectants.

00:29:31Wipe the surface

00:29:32of all these objects.

00:29:34Maybe you worry unnecessarily.

00:29:35This hotel probably

00:29:36takes care of the cleanliness

00:29:37of the rooms.

00:29:38Or maybe not.

00:29:40You can also ask

00:29:41for your room

00:29:42to be cleaned again.

00:29:44You have therefore

00:29:45wiped all the surfaces

00:29:46and you put yourself

00:29:47in bed exhausted.

00:29:48Unfortunately,

00:29:49you are not the only one

00:29:50on this soft mattress.

00:29:52Millions of bacteria

00:29:53keep you company.

00:29:55Of course,

00:29:56the washing of pillows

00:29:57and bed linen

00:29:58destroys germs,

00:29:59but what about the bed cover?

00:30:01It is very likely

00:30:02that no one washes it.

00:30:03Eliminate germs

00:30:04on fabric is difficult,

00:30:05so you will probably

00:30:06have to accommodate yourself.

00:30:08But what is unacceptable

00:30:09are the bed linen.

00:30:11If you notice dark spots

00:30:12on your mattress,

00:30:13it is very likely

00:30:14to be residues

00:30:15deposited by these parasites.

00:30:17You are not hungry,

00:30:18are you?

00:30:19I would not want

00:30:20to cut your appetite.

00:30:21And there may be

00:30:22hidden bed linen

00:30:23in the mattress.

00:30:24They can sleep there

00:30:25for months

00:30:26and wake up one day

00:30:27to satisfy their hunger.

00:30:29While you rest,

00:30:30they come out

00:30:31and prick your legs.

00:30:32If you notice

00:30:33small red spots

00:30:34on your skin,

00:30:35it is because

00:30:36the parasites

00:30:37kiss you.

00:30:39The sting of these insects

00:30:40is not dangerous.

00:30:42Some people

00:30:43may have a slight allergic reaction,

00:30:45an irritation of the skin.

00:30:47But the problem

00:30:48is that the parasites

00:30:49can get into your clothes

00:30:50or your luggage

00:30:51and you risk

00:30:52bringing them back home.

00:30:54They multiply quickly.

00:30:56So,

00:30:57if you do not want

00:30:58to adopt a whole colony,

00:31:00wash your clothes

00:31:01and your luggage

00:31:02and take a shower.

00:31:05But before that,

00:31:06ask the hotel manager

00:31:07to reimburse you.

00:31:08Bed linen

00:31:09is unacceptable.

00:31:10Even if your room

00:31:11is of impeccable cleanliness,

00:31:12it does not mean

00:31:13that there is no bed linen.

00:31:15The previous clients

00:31:16may have brought some.

00:31:18But there are no black spots

00:31:19on your bed

00:31:20and you have cleaned

00:31:21all the surfaces at risk.

00:31:23It's ok,

00:31:24you are safe.

00:31:25Still put on slippers

00:31:26or thick socks

00:31:28because the floor

00:31:29can also be dirty enough.

00:31:30You spend several nights

00:31:31at the hotel

00:31:32and you finally return

00:31:33to a clean and safe place.

00:31:35Your house.

00:31:37Unfortunately,

00:31:38there can also be

00:31:39numerous microbes.

00:31:41Do you like to play

00:31:42with your friends

00:31:43by playing video games?

00:31:45Do you remember

00:31:46the last time

00:31:47you cleaned your gamepad?

00:31:49All your friends

00:31:50held it in their hands

00:31:51and they dropped

00:31:52all their microbes.

00:31:55Your cutting board.

00:31:57How do you wash it?

00:31:58Water asparagus

00:31:59is not enough,

00:32:01especially if you cut

00:32:02meat and vegetables.

00:32:04You can cut zucchini

00:32:05and its germs

00:32:06will stick to the surface.

00:32:08Then you quickly

00:32:09wash the board

00:32:10and put it back in place.

00:32:12But the germs

00:32:13have not disappeared,

00:32:14they are still well attached

00:32:16while you cut bread.

00:32:18They will jump on your pies

00:32:19and end up

00:32:20in your stomach.

00:32:22Are you still hungry?

00:32:25Another dangerous place

00:32:26is your dishwasher.

00:32:28Even if you use

00:32:29a good detergent,

00:32:30germs always accumulate there.

00:32:32The best way

00:32:33to get rid of it

00:32:34is to change the sponge

00:32:35once a week.

00:32:37And now,

00:32:38here is the paradise

00:32:39of bacteria.

00:32:40A place where the temperature

00:32:41is ideally cold

00:32:42and where there is

00:32:43a lot of food.

00:32:44From the freshest

00:32:45to the most varied.

00:32:46This is your refrigerator.

00:32:48You put products there

00:32:49that you bring back

00:32:50from the supermarket.

00:32:51Hundreds of people

00:32:52may have touched them

00:32:53and deposited thousands

00:32:54of germs there.

00:32:55Therefore,

00:32:56do not forget to wash

00:32:57your refrigerator.

00:32:58And also,

00:32:59remove all meat

00:33:00from packaged products.

00:33:02Microbes on a bleeding steak

00:33:03multiply quickly.

00:33:07Everything I told you

00:33:08may start to worry you.

00:33:10If this is the case,

00:33:11remember the advice

00:33:12that I will now give you.

00:33:15You will have much less problems

00:33:16if you wear

00:33:17a Bavarian panty

00:33:18from time to time

00:33:19and wash your hands

00:33:20regularly.

00:33:22Airports

00:33:23are among the most visited

00:33:24and at the same time

00:33:25the most mysterious

00:33:26airports in the world.

00:33:28Let's discover

00:33:29what happens behind the scenes

00:33:30and what secrets

00:33:31they hide.

00:33:33Some airports

00:33:34employ special people

00:33:35called profilers.

00:33:37These people

00:33:38give life to a program

00:33:39called SPOT

00:33:40Screening Passengers

00:33:41by Observation Technique

00:33:43which could mean

00:33:44Analyzing Passengers

00:33:45by Observation.

00:33:47They analyze their gestures

00:33:48and behavior

00:33:49to detect

00:33:50suspicious people.

00:33:51Their job

00:33:52is to notice

00:33:53signs of anxiety,

00:33:54people

00:33:55rubbing their lips,

00:33:56scratching themselves

00:33:57or looking around them.

00:33:59If a profiler notices

00:34:00that a person

00:34:01is acting in an unusual way,

00:34:02he can subject her

00:34:03to an inspection

00:34:04during which

00:34:05he will question her

00:34:06to learn more about her

00:34:07and to confirm

00:34:08or not her suspicions.

00:34:10Airport agents

00:34:11can also watch you

00:34:12throughout your journey

00:34:13between security control

00:34:14and your boarding gate.

00:34:16Some airports

00:34:17have facial recognition scanners

00:34:18that can easily

00:34:19track you.

00:34:21They are equipped

00:34:22with a special software

00:34:23that compares

00:34:24the faces of passengers

00:34:25with their

00:34:26identity documents.

00:34:28Don't forget

00:34:29that if you don't

00:34:30charge your laptop

00:34:31before the flight,

00:34:32it can be confiscated.

00:34:34It is not uncommon

00:34:35for a security agent

00:34:36to ask you

00:34:37to turn on your device

00:34:38to check it.

00:34:39If you don't do so,

00:34:40your gadget

00:34:41can be taken

00:34:42for additional control.

00:34:44For security reasons,

00:34:45it is crucial

00:34:46to make sure

00:34:47that it has not been

00:34:48trafficked or modified

00:34:49in a way

00:34:50that could cause

00:34:51damage during the flight.

00:34:52Carrying an electric toothbrush

00:34:53in your luggage

00:34:54can cause you

00:34:55a lot of trouble.

00:34:57Some manufacturers'

00:34:58toothbrushes

00:34:59contain lithium batteries

00:35:00that can cause

00:35:01serious problems

00:35:02during the flight.

00:35:05This is why

00:35:06leaving your electric toothbrush

00:35:07in your luggage

00:35:08is not an option.

00:35:10But you can put it

00:35:11in your hand luggage.

00:35:13And if it works

00:35:14with standard batteries,

00:35:15you can put it

00:35:16wherever you want.

00:35:19Everyone who has

00:35:20already taken a plane

00:35:21knows the rule

00:35:22of liquid disinfection.

00:35:23But not everyone

00:35:24knows that this rule

00:35:25also applies

00:35:26to peanut butter,

00:35:27toothpaste,

00:35:28cream,

00:35:29lotion,

00:35:30liquid make-up,

00:35:31washing lamps,

00:35:32snowballs,

00:35:33certain types of drugs,

00:35:34deodorants,

00:35:35and even

00:35:36frozen shoe soles.

00:35:40Now,

00:35:41let's take a look

00:35:42at the landing runway.

00:35:43Airports

00:35:44pay airlines

00:35:45a lot of money

00:35:46to land

00:35:47on their runway

00:35:48on certain days

00:35:49and at certain times.

00:35:51But the most interesting thing

00:35:52is that these planes

00:35:53can be exchanged.

00:35:55For example,

00:35:56in 2016,

00:35:57Oman Air

00:35:58paid Air France

00:35:59about 75 million dollars

00:36:01for a plane

00:36:02to arrive early

00:36:03in the morning

00:36:04at London's

00:36:05S-Row airport.

00:36:06You probably noticed

00:36:07that the price

00:36:08of plane tickets

00:36:09has increased

00:36:10in the last decade.

00:36:11This is because

00:36:12of the extremely high

00:36:13price of landing planes.

00:36:15Flight regulators

00:36:16do not only control

00:36:17the planes in the sky,

00:36:18as we can see

00:36:19often in movies,

00:36:20but they also

00:36:21take care

00:36:22of their movements

00:36:23on the ground.

00:36:24They also control

00:36:25the lighting

00:36:26of the runways.

00:36:27There are three types

00:36:28of flight regulators,

00:36:29en route,

00:36:30terminal,

00:36:31and tour.

00:36:32Each of these controllers

00:36:33has its own

00:36:34field of responsibility.

00:36:36A flight regulator

00:36:37has about five screens

00:36:38and the information

00:36:39that appears

00:36:40changes constantly

00:36:41because the screens

00:36:42display the weather conditions

00:36:43and information

00:36:44about the other planes.

00:36:47If you introduce yourself

00:36:48to the flight regulators

00:36:49and they discover

00:36:50that you have

00:36:51something forbidden

00:36:52in your luggage,

00:36:54don't worry.

00:36:55You still have a chance

00:36:56to save

00:36:57your favorite Swiss knife.

00:36:59Some airports

00:37:00have postal services

00:37:02and you can send

00:37:03your luggage

00:37:04to the address you want.

00:37:05However,

00:37:06shipping costs

00:37:07are quite high

00:37:08and some items

00:37:09are forbidden to be shipped.

00:37:11Airports can quickly

00:37:12resell

00:37:13your lost luggage.

00:37:15Of course,

00:37:16you have a chance

00:37:17to get your luggage

00:37:18back

00:37:19that traveled

00:37:20to another destination.

00:37:21But it is just as likely

00:37:22that you will never

00:37:23see it again.

00:37:24Airports

00:37:25have the right

00:37:26to sell

00:37:27lost items

00:37:28during a auction.

00:37:29Most airports

00:37:30organize

00:37:31a lost luggage

00:37:32sale each year.

00:37:33After paying

00:37:34for a ticket,

00:37:35you can auction

00:37:36on electronic devices,

00:37:37clothes,

00:37:38bags,

00:37:39and other items.

00:37:40You may travel

00:37:41on the same flight

00:37:42as a star,

00:37:43but you won't know it.

00:37:44Large airports

00:37:45have procedures

00:37:46for recording

00:37:47and security

00:37:48for celebrities.

00:37:49They often board

00:37:50the plane

00:37:51directly through

00:37:52a hidden door

00:37:53next to the runway.

00:37:55Some airlines

00:37:56also use

00:37:57private vehicles

00:37:58to transfer VIP passengers

00:37:59from the terminal

00:38:00to the plane.

00:38:02Most passengers

00:38:03arrive at the airport

00:38:04well in advance.

00:38:06And the most popular activity

00:38:07while waiting for a flight

00:38:08is to walk

00:38:09around the T-Free area.

00:38:12And even if people

00:38:13rarely plan to buy

00:38:14anything there,

00:38:15several products

00:38:16end up

00:38:17in their baskets.

00:38:19This is because

00:38:20many airports

00:38:21are specially designed

00:38:22to make people

00:38:23feel relaxed

00:38:24and comfortable.

00:38:25There are large windows,

00:38:26lots of lights,

00:38:27and comfortable seats.

00:38:29However,

00:38:30statistically,

00:38:31relaxed passengers

00:38:32are 10% more likely

00:38:33to spend money

00:38:34in shops,

00:38:35out-of-tax shops,

00:38:36and cafes and restaurants.

00:38:38Airport designers

00:38:39think a lot

00:38:40about their layout.

00:38:41This ensures

00:38:42a fluid

00:38:43and unobtrusive

00:38:44layout for passengers.

00:38:45And the main point here

00:38:46is easy navigation

00:38:47that prevents them

00:38:48from getting lost.

00:38:50They achieve this

00:38:51thanks to subtle

00:38:52but very effective clues.

00:38:54The fact of placing

00:38:55out-of-tax areas

00:38:56between security checkpoints

00:38:57and boarding points

00:38:58is one of them.

00:39:00They are supposed

00:39:01to help you relax

00:39:02after passing

00:39:03the security checks

00:39:04and take you

00:39:05where you need to go.

00:39:07The restaurant

00:39:08of a famous chef

00:39:09at the airport

00:39:10may not be as good

00:39:11as if you went

00:39:12to a real restaurant.

00:39:13These are not the chefs

00:39:14themselves,

00:39:15but special restaurant companies

00:39:16who are responsible

00:39:17for the points of sale

00:39:18at the airports.

00:39:19One of the reasons

00:39:20why the food

00:39:21is of the lowest quality

00:39:22is the extremely strict

00:39:23security surrounding

00:39:24the deliveries

00:39:25at the airports,

00:39:26including food.

00:39:27You can always

00:39:28eat a good meal,

00:39:29but it won't be

00:39:30the same thing.

00:39:31Now,

00:39:32let's talk about

00:39:33another way

00:39:34airports manipulate you

00:39:35to make you spend

00:39:36your money.

00:39:37They make you cross

00:39:38duty-free shops

00:39:39directly after

00:39:40the security check.

00:39:41But the most curious thing

00:39:42is that the aisle

00:39:43that crosses

00:39:44these shops

00:39:45is generally

00:39:46oriented to the left.

00:39:47This is because

00:39:48most people are right-handed.

00:39:49This means

00:39:50that they use

00:39:51their right arm

00:39:52to pull their luggage

00:39:53and that they tend

00:39:54to look to the right

00:39:55when they cross

00:39:56the shops.

00:39:57When the duty-free zone

00:39:58curves to the left,

00:39:59there is more space

00:40:00on the right,

00:40:01where passengers

00:40:02tend to look

00:40:03the most.

00:40:04Have you ever noticed

00:40:05the number of mirrors

00:40:06in airports?

00:40:07They are strategically

00:40:08placed

00:40:09to make the airports

00:40:10look bigger

00:40:11and create

00:40:12an illusion of space.

00:40:13This helps

00:40:14to reduce

00:40:15the feeling

00:40:16of claustrophobia

00:40:17and makes the experience

00:40:18of the airport

00:40:19more pleasant

00:40:20for passengers.

00:40:21If you have the choice,

00:40:22do not exchange

00:40:23liquid money

00:40:24at the airport.

00:40:25You will never get

00:40:26a good rate.

00:40:27Those who have not

00:40:28bought local currency

00:40:29in advance

00:40:30can order it online

00:40:31and get it back

00:40:32at the airport.

00:40:33Some services

00:40:34only need

00:40:35a few hours

00:40:36to prepare

00:40:37for such an order.

00:40:38Or,

00:40:39it can be even more

00:40:40difficult to find

00:40:41a distributor

00:40:42at your final destination.

00:40:43Have you ever

00:40:44paid attention

00:40:45to the airport codes?

00:40:46The most used

00:40:47are those with three letters.

00:40:48Why three?

00:40:49In the 1930s,

00:40:50in the United States,

00:40:51pilots used

00:40:52the two-letter

00:40:53city codes

00:40:54of the National Weather Service

00:40:55to refer to airports.

00:40:56But quickly,

00:40:57the number of airports

00:40:58in the country

00:40:59exceeded

00:41:00the number

00:41:01of these codes.

00:41:02This is why

00:41:03airlines

00:41:04expanded this system

00:41:05by adding

00:41:06a third letter.

00:41:07This is how LA

00:41:08for Los Angeles

00:41:09became LAX.

00:41:10But even if

00:41:11there should not be

00:41:12two airports

00:41:13with the same code,

00:41:14some of these codes

00:41:15are so similar

00:41:16that you can

00:41:17easily confuse them.

00:41:18For example,

00:41:19an airport in Bangladesh

00:41:20has the CGP code,

00:41:21while another

00:41:22in Argentina

00:41:23has the CPG code.

00:41:24Even if they are

00:41:25very far from each other,

00:41:26don't get the wrong

00:41:27destination.

00:41:28Many airports

00:41:29are built

00:41:30close to the sea

00:41:31and there are

00:41:32a lot of reasons

00:41:33for this.

00:41:34For example,

00:41:35in the United States,

00:41:36there are

00:41:37a lot of airports

00:41:38close to the sea

00:41:39and there are

00:41:40a lot of reasons

00:41:41for this.

00:41:42First of all,

00:41:43most airports

00:41:44are located

00:41:45near big cities

00:41:46and big cities

00:41:47are generally

00:41:48built near

00:41:49an extension

00:41:50or a river.

00:41:51At the time,

00:41:52before the

00:41:53paved roads

00:41:54and trucks

00:41:55existed,

00:41:56goods were

00:41:57transported

00:41:58by boat.

00:41:59Having a river

00:42:00or a nearby

00:42:01sea

00:42:02was vital

00:42:03to deliver

00:42:04essential supplies

00:42:05to cities

00:42:06and people

00:42:07would go to

00:42:08big cities

00:42:09for business

00:42:10and holidays

00:42:11rather than

00:42:12to rural areas.

00:42:13It was logical

00:42:14to build airports

00:42:15in these places.

00:42:16The high demand

00:42:17for travel

00:42:18made airports

00:42:19both necessary

00:42:20and profitable

00:42:21but this is not

00:42:22the only reason

00:42:23they are built

00:42:24close to the sea.

00:42:25Big cities

00:42:26are generally

00:42:27very populated

00:42:28and airports

00:42:29need

00:42:30huge areas.

00:42:31Try to find

00:42:32a large enough

00:42:33area in the middle

00:42:34of New York

00:42:35The areas

00:42:36close to the sea

00:42:37are generally

00:42:38a bit more rural

00:42:39so there is more space

00:42:40than in big cities

00:42:41full of buildings.

00:42:42Some countries

00:42:43have even

00:42:44pushed this principle

00:42:45a bit further.

00:42:46Land is really

00:42:47rare in Japan

00:42:48so to build

00:42:49the international

00:42:50airport of Kansai

00:42:51the architects

00:42:52of Osaka

00:42:53went 5 km

00:42:54offshore

00:42:55in the bay

00:42:56of Osaka

00:42:57to create

00:42:58an artificial island.

00:42:59Measuring 4 km

00:43:00long

00:43:01by 2.5 km

00:43:02offshore

00:43:03it is so vast

00:43:04that you can see it

00:43:05from space.

00:43:06It took 38 months

00:43:07to complete the construction.

00:43:08Travelers

00:43:09can go to

00:43:10the main island

00:43:11of Honshu

00:43:12by car

00:43:13train

00:43:14or ferry

00:43:15at high speed.

00:43:16The international airport

00:43:17of Kansai

00:43:18opened in 1994

00:43:19and became

00:43:20the first airport

00:43:21in the world

00:43:22to be built

00:43:23on the sea.

00:43:24Despite its location

00:43:25it has the longest

00:43:26terminal on the planet

00:43:27with a length

00:43:28of a little less

00:43:29than 1.5 km.

00:43:30Airplanes

00:43:31should not

00:43:32have obstacles

00:43:33on their way

00:43:34when they land.

00:43:35It would be

00:43:36really difficult

00:43:37to land

00:43:38a plane

00:43:39with obstacles.

00:43:40This includes

00:43:41trees,

00:43:42mountains,

00:43:43buildings

00:43:44and electric lines.

00:43:45On water

00:43:46nothing will prevent

00:43:47the planes

00:43:48from taking off

00:43:49or landing

00:43:50which makes

00:43:51things much safer.

00:43:52On mountainous

00:43:53islands

00:43:54the tracks

00:43:55are often

00:43:56parallel to the ocean

00:43:57because the mountains

00:43:58are inside the land

00:43:59like for example

00:44:00at the airport

00:44:01of Gran Canaria

00:44:02but also

00:44:03for safety reasons.

00:44:04If a plane

00:44:05has to cancel

00:44:06its landing

00:44:07on the track

00:44:08and go around

00:44:09it must have

00:44:10enough space

00:44:11to do it

00:44:12safely

00:44:13without hitting anything.

00:44:14It must also

00:44:15be able to

00:44:16go up in the air

00:44:17at a safe angle

00:44:18to avoid

00:44:19causing problems

00:44:20to passengers.

00:44:21Reaching this

00:44:22safety altitude

00:44:23is much easier,

00:44:24faster

00:44:25and safer

00:44:26at sea

00:44:27compared to

00:44:28big cities

00:44:29or mountainous areas.

00:44:30Speaking of

00:44:32If a plane

00:44:33reaches the right speed

00:44:34to take off

00:44:35it must leave the track

00:44:36even if a motor

00:44:37breaks down.

00:44:38But don't worry

00:44:39planes can always

00:44:40fly with

00:44:41only one motor.

00:44:42It just requires

00:44:43a little more

00:44:44concentration.

00:44:45Because of the

00:44:46reduced capacity

00:44:47it takes more time

00:44:48to reach the right altitude

00:44:49and it takes more

00:44:50space to take off.

00:44:51By taking off

00:44:52towards the ocean

00:44:53it is easier

00:44:54to reach

00:44:55a safe altitude

00:44:56without having to

00:44:57collide with

00:44:58any obstacle.

00:44:59Another reason

00:45:00why airports

00:45:01are built

00:45:02at sea level

00:45:03is that the higher

00:45:04the altitude

00:45:05the rarer the air.

00:45:06This reduces

00:45:07the thrust of the motors

00:45:08as well as the

00:45:09lift generated

00:45:10by the wings.

00:45:11In higher areas

00:45:12it is more difficult

00:45:13for planes

00:45:14to take off.

00:45:15In financial terms

00:45:16this means

00:45:17that longer tracks

00:45:18would have to be built

00:45:19which would cost

00:45:20more

00:45:21and no one

00:45:22wants that.

00:45:23At sea level

00:45:24planes need

00:45:25less fuel

00:45:26because they don't burn

00:45:27as much energy

00:45:28when taking off

00:45:29and they also make

00:45:30less noise

00:45:31because they don't

00:45:32push the engines

00:45:33as hard as they should.

00:45:34But even if this

00:45:35makes planes less noisy

00:45:36airports still have

00:45:37quite high noise

00:45:38levels.

00:45:39Imagine that you

00:45:40hear planes

00:45:41flying over your house

00:45:42while you try

00:45:43to sleep at night.

00:45:44This is one of the

00:45:45main reasons

00:45:46why airports

00:45:47are generally

00:45:48built on the coast

00:45:49far from any

00:45:50residential area

00:45:51because fish

00:45:52are generally

00:45:53not known

00:45:54to make complaints

00:45:55about noise.

00:45:56In some countries

00:45:57airports even

00:45:58provide insulation

00:45:59for neighbouring houses

00:46:00which will be affected

00:46:01by noise.

00:46:02Germany

00:46:03is one of these countries

00:46:04and they do everything

00:46:05from improving

00:46:06roofs

00:46:07to adding

00:46:08wall insulation

00:46:09to reduce

00:46:10noise pollution.

00:46:11Building near the coast

00:46:12means that they

00:46:13won't have to pay

00:46:14for all these

00:46:15expensive improvements

00:46:16which saves a lot

00:46:17of money

00:46:18at the airport.

00:46:19Coastal areas

00:46:20also have

00:46:21meteorological

00:46:22advantages

00:46:23for flights.

00:46:24Sea breezes

00:46:25are regular winds

00:46:26which blow

00:46:27against the wind

00:46:28which makes

00:46:29them ideal

00:46:30for building

00:46:31an airport

00:46:32because there

00:46:33will be no delay

00:46:34caused by

00:46:35unexpected strong winds.

00:46:36But if the sea breezes

00:46:37that come in the spring

00:46:38and in the summer

00:46:39are great

00:46:40the areas

00:46:41close to the water

00:46:42can be subject

00:46:43to fog

00:46:44in autumn

00:46:45and winter

00:46:46so this presents

00:46:47both advantages

00:46:48and disadvantages.

00:46:49However

00:46:50not all airports

00:46:51are on the coast

00:46:52because they also

00:46:53pose a number

00:46:54of problems.

00:46:55One of the most important

00:46:56problems is

00:46:57that the sea

00:46:58loves the coast

00:46:59because of all

00:47:00these delicious

00:47:01fish that swim there.

00:47:02But they can cause

00:47:03big problems

00:47:04to the pilots.

00:47:05But airports

00:47:06manage to avoid

00:47:07this problem

00:47:08by using

00:47:09intimidation tactics.

00:47:10Birds don't really

00:47:11like noise

00:47:12and planes

00:47:13are not the most

00:47:14silent objects

00:47:15in the sky.

00:47:16Airports

00:47:17also produce

00:47:18loud noises

00:47:19and even

00:47:20attract hawks

00:47:21to kill

00:47:22the birds

00:47:23on their way.

00:47:24The most obvious

00:47:25problem

00:47:26is that

00:47:27airports

00:47:28cost a lot

00:47:29to build

00:47:30and planes

00:47:31are not

00:47:32cheap either.

00:47:33In 2018

00:47:34the Kansai airport

00:47:35was flooded

00:47:36by the Jebi typhoon.

00:47:37They had to cancel

00:47:38all operations

00:47:39for two days

00:47:40and the water

00:47:41was so high

00:47:42that it damaged

00:47:43the planes' engines.

00:47:44Although

00:47:45coastal airports

00:47:46put in place

00:47:47measures to

00:47:48protect themselves

00:47:49from floods

00:47:50it is quite difficult

00:47:51to save everything

00:47:52from a typhoon.

00:47:53With the rise

00:47:54of the sea level

00:47:55it is becoming

00:47:56more and more likely

00:47:57to be flooded.

00:47:58A quarter of the

00:47:59most frequented

00:48:00airports in the world

00:48:01are less than

00:48:0210 meters above

00:48:03the sea level

00:48:04and 12 of them

00:48:05including those

00:48:06in New York,

00:48:07San Francisco

00:48:08and Shanghai

00:48:09are less than

00:48:105 meters.

00:48:11Oops!

00:48:12All this water

00:48:13is another problem.

00:48:14If planes

00:48:15cross the runway

00:48:16they have

00:48:17nowhere to go.

00:48:18The crossing of the runway

00:48:19happens mainly

00:48:20when the pilot

00:48:21underestimates the

00:48:22length of the runway

00:48:23and the amount

00:48:24of concrete or grass

00:48:25on which the plane

00:48:26can still roll

00:48:27when the airports

00:48:28are on the ground.

00:48:29The plane would be

00:48:30a little damaged

00:48:31in this case

00:48:32but nothing serious.

00:48:33But with coastal airports

00:48:34the plane can

00:48:35end up

00:48:36directly in the water.

00:48:37Fortunately

00:48:38there is a new

00:48:39technology

00:48:40to prevent

00:48:41this from happening.

00:48:42These new systems

00:48:43allow the pilot

00:48:44to find out

00:48:45all the flight parameters

00:48:46including the

00:48:47weather conditions

00:48:48that could affect

00:48:49the take-off.

00:48:50The system then calculates

00:48:51the length of the runway

00:48:52that the plane

00:48:53will need to stop.

00:48:54Many airports

00:48:55have also added

00:48:56soft concrete

00:48:57at the end of the runway

00:48:58to avoid

00:48:59a water disaster.

00:49:00When the plane

00:49:01slides on this soft concrete

00:49:02it gets stuck

00:49:03and this prevents it

00:49:04from rolling too far.

00:49:05The construction

00:49:06of airports

00:49:07next to the water

00:49:08also poses

00:49:09financial problems.

00:49:10The land

00:49:12near the coast

00:49:13or lakes

00:49:14is generally

00:49:15more expensive

00:49:16than on the continent

00:49:17due to demand.

00:49:18For example

00:49:1940% of the American population

00:49:20lives on the coast

00:49:21although the coastal areas

00:49:22only represent

00:49:23about 10%

00:49:24of the total

00:49:25land mass

00:49:26of the United States.

00:49:27Airports

00:49:28need a flat ground

00:49:29to be built

00:49:30but it is not

00:49:31always easy to find

00:49:32and coastal lands

00:49:33can pose

00:49:34particular problems

00:49:35due to sand

00:49:36and swamps.

00:49:37But this does not mean

00:49:38that it is not possible.

00:49:39One of the most

00:49:40famous airports

00:49:41in the world

00:49:42the JFK airport

00:49:43in New York

00:49:44was built

00:49:45on swamps.

00:49:46The land

00:49:47was much

00:49:48cheaper than usual

00:49:49and the swamps

00:49:50could not really

00:49:51be used

00:49:52for much.

00:49:53Of course

00:49:54it cost a lot of money

00:49:55to make the land

00:49:56suitable

00:49:57to transport heavy loads

00:49:58but all this

00:49:59was solved.

00:50:00Finding such a large area

00:50:01near one of the

00:50:02largest cities

00:50:03in the world

00:50:04was a stroke of luck

00:50:05even if it was

00:50:06a swamp.

00:50:07You register

00:50:08in your hotel room

00:50:09you connect to wifi

00:50:10you jump on the bed

00:50:11and you publish

00:50:1215 photos

00:50:13of your new view

00:50:14from the window.

00:50:15Once the initial excitement

00:50:16has passed

00:50:17you notice a flashing light

00:50:18suspicious

00:50:19and you turn on

00:50:20your huge TV.

00:50:21Could it be

00:50:22that someone is watching you

00:50:23or have you simply

00:50:24seen too many

00:50:25spy movies?

00:50:26There are hidden cameras

00:50:27of all shapes

00:50:28and sizes.

00:50:29The big ones

00:50:30are easy to spot

00:50:31but the small ones

00:50:32can be as sneaky

00:50:33as discreet.

00:50:34They can be hidden

00:50:35behind furniture

00:50:36in decorations

00:50:37or ventilation nozzles

00:50:38and everywhere

00:50:39where you will have

00:50:40trouble noticing them.

00:50:41There are even

00:50:42special cameras

00:50:43that can be hidden

00:50:44in everyday

00:50:45mobile objects

00:50:46such as

00:50:47alarm clocks

00:50:48frames

00:50:49vases

00:50:50and lamps.

00:50:51Make sure

00:50:52that these objects

00:50:53are not oriented

00:50:54at a strange angle

00:50:55or that they are not

00:50:56placed so that

00:50:57you can have

00:50:58the best view

00:50:59on your bed

00:51:00or bathroom.

00:51:01The easiest way

00:51:02to spot a hidden camera

00:51:03is to look for

00:51:04the reflection

00:51:05of the lens

00:51:06because all cameras

00:51:07are equipped with it.

00:51:08Turn off the lights

00:51:09and slowly

00:51:10scan the room

00:51:11with a flashlight

00:51:12a laser pointer

00:51:13or a special wireless

00:51:14spy camera detector.

00:51:15These are equipped

00:51:16with scanning lights

00:51:17and lighting.

00:51:18As soon as you discover

00:51:19a reflective red dot

00:51:20you must turn on

00:51:21the flashlight

00:51:22to check

00:51:23if there is

00:51:24a hidden camera.

00:51:25Check the ventilation nozzles

00:51:26as well as

00:51:27all other holes

00:51:28and gaps

00:51:29in the walls

00:51:30or ceilings.

00:51:31Some advanced detectors

00:51:32even show

00:51:33what the camera sees

00:51:34which greatly

00:51:35facilitates

00:51:36tracking

00:51:37and deactivation.

00:51:38However,

00:51:39these detectors

00:51:40only work

00:51:41on lit cameras

00:51:42and are constantly

00:51:43working.

00:51:44Your mobile phone

00:51:45can be

00:51:46also used

00:51:47to detect

00:51:48these hidden threats.

00:51:49Turn on

00:51:50Bluetooth

00:51:51and take a walk.

00:51:52Look if

00:51:53unknown devices

00:51:54appear on the screen.

00:51:55Another idea

00:51:56is to install

00:51:57a network scanning

00:51:58application

00:51:59that displays

00:52:00all devices

00:52:01connected to

00:52:02the Wi-Fi network

00:52:03you use at the hotel.

00:52:04Once the scanning

00:52:05is complete,

00:52:06study the list

00:52:07to find devices

00:52:08with a name

00:52:09such as

00:52:10Camera IP

00:52:11or Cam.

00:52:12In addition,

00:52:13you can set

00:52:14your phone

00:52:15to be turned off

00:52:16and close the curtains

00:52:17and slowly look

00:52:18around the room

00:52:19while focusing

00:52:20on the screen.

00:52:21Keep your eyes open

00:52:22to spot

00:52:23any white

00:52:24or purple lights.

00:52:26You can also

00:52:27play detectives,

00:52:28call a friend

00:52:29or a member

00:52:30of your family

00:52:31and start

00:52:32looking around

00:52:33your room.

00:52:34Hidden cameras

00:52:35should emit

00:52:36a kind of radio frequency.

00:52:37It is likely

00:52:38that this interferes

00:52:39with the signal

00:52:40of your phone call.

00:52:41If you start

00:52:42hearing strange noises

00:52:43while you are

00:52:44on the phone

00:52:45in a specific place

00:52:46in your room,

00:52:47inspect it carefully.

00:52:50Check the switches,

00:52:51power outlets,

00:52:52lamps

00:52:53and other objects

00:52:54you would normally

00:52:55not pay attention to.

00:52:56If they look a bit

00:52:57out of place,

00:52:58if they have a hole

00:52:59or if they seem

00:53:00badly placed,

00:53:01it may be the sign

00:53:02that someone

00:53:03trafficked them.

00:53:04Many espionage devices

00:53:05need wires

00:53:06and the person

00:53:07who installed them

00:53:08must have hidden

00:53:09these wires,

00:53:10often behind

00:53:11a vinyl plate.

00:53:12This is why

00:53:13the place

00:53:14where the floor

00:53:15and the wall

00:53:16meet

00:53:17is another area

00:53:18to inspect.

00:53:19Cracks, bumps

00:53:20or discoloration

00:53:21may be the sign

00:53:22that a microphone

00:53:23is hiding there.

00:53:24The same goes

00:53:25for stains

00:53:26on ceilings

00:53:27and walls,

00:53:28even if they are

00:53:29not bigger

00:53:30than a coin.

00:53:31If you find

00:53:32a hidden camera

00:53:33or something suspicious,

00:53:34do not hesitate

00:53:35to inform the hotel

00:53:36or booking service

00:53:37about it.

00:53:38Do not try

00:53:39to touch

00:53:40or move the device

00:53:41yourself.

00:53:42If necessary,

00:53:43you can call

00:53:44the police.

00:53:45After checking

00:53:46that there is

00:53:47no camera in the room,

00:53:48examine the mirrors.

00:53:49Someone

00:53:50may be watching

00:53:51from the other side.

00:53:52Start by checking

00:53:53if the mirror

00:53:54is embedded

00:53:55in the wall

00:53:56or if it can be adjusted.

00:53:57If it is a stainless mirror,

00:53:58it will be embedded

00:53:59in the wall.

00:54:00You can do

00:54:01a simple test

00:54:02to inspect

00:54:03your mirror.

00:54:04Press the tip

00:54:05of your finger

00:54:06on the glass

00:54:07and push

00:54:08firmly enough

00:54:09to leave

00:54:10a fingerprint

00:54:11on the glass.

00:54:12Study the fingerprint.

00:54:13If there is

00:54:14a small space

00:54:15between the fingerprint

00:54:16and the mirror

00:54:17at the place

00:54:18where the glass

00:54:19should be,

00:54:20it is a mirror.

00:54:21On a stainless mirror,

00:54:22there is no such space.

00:54:23Another way

00:54:24to check

00:54:25if your mirror

00:54:26is semi-transparent

00:54:27is to tap

00:54:28the glass.

00:54:29If someone

00:54:30is watching

00:54:31from the other side,

00:54:32the mirror

00:54:33will emit

00:54:34a hollow sound.

00:54:35A stainless mirror

00:54:36should seem

00:54:37brighter

00:54:38from the other side

00:54:39than from yours.

00:54:40You can also

00:54:41put your hands

00:54:42in a visor

00:54:43around your eyes.

00:54:44Do you see light

00:54:45behind the mirror?

00:54:46If so,

00:54:47you may be

00:54:48an inopportune audience.

00:54:49Before leaving

00:54:50your room

00:54:51or going to bed,

00:54:52make sure

00:54:53all the doors

00:54:54are well closed.

00:54:55Through each door,

00:54:56you can hear

00:54:57not only

00:54:58the entrance

00:54:59of the room,

00:55:00but also

00:55:01the door

00:55:02leading to the balcony

00:55:03if you have one.

00:55:04You can bring

00:55:05a portable lock

00:55:06for more security

00:55:07if you are ready

00:55:08to go to bed.

00:55:09Or a strap

00:55:10around the handle

00:55:11that closes the door.

00:55:12Lock it

00:55:13and wrap it

00:55:14several times

00:55:15for additional protection.

00:55:17Another idea

00:55:18for a serene nap

00:55:19is to wrap

00:55:20your personal belongings

00:55:21around the door.

00:55:22Glasses and cups

00:55:23will do the trick.

00:55:25If someone

00:55:26tries to enter

00:55:27while you are asleep,

00:55:28there will be noise.

00:55:30Intruders

00:55:31prefer to stay discreet.

00:55:32It is therefore

00:55:33highly likely

00:55:34that they will

00:55:35immediately

00:55:36throw you out.

00:55:37If you travel

00:55:38with valuables

00:55:39and you don't feel

00:55:40comfortable

00:55:41leaving them

00:55:42unguarded,

00:55:43you can put them

00:55:44in the safe

00:55:45in your room.

00:55:46But as these safes

00:55:47use access codes

00:55:48instead of physical locks,

00:55:49someone in the hotel

00:55:50must necessarily

00:55:51know the code

00:55:52to unlock it

00:55:53just in case.

00:55:54You can therefore

00:55:55bring your own safe.

00:55:56There are some

00:55:57that look like

00:55:58books on the internet

00:55:59for example.

00:56:00They are made of

00:56:01solid metal

00:56:02and textured paper

00:56:03and are equipped

00:56:04with a combination lock.

00:56:05They usually

00:56:06have enough space

00:56:07to store your liquid money

00:56:08and jewelry.

00:56:09If you have to leave

00:56:10your laptop

00:56:11in the room

00:56:12and you want to make sure

00:56:13that no one

00:56:14plugs in a USB key

00:56:15to steal your data,

00:56:16this is what you can do.

00:56:17Leave a bottle of water

00:56:18or another object

00:56:19next to the USB port.

00:56:21Measure the distance

00:56:22assuming it is

00:56:231 or 2 cm.

00:56:25In order for someone

00:56:26to be able to plug

00:56:27their gadget

00:56:28into the laptop,

00:56:29they will necessarily

00:56:30have to move the bottle.

00:56:31You can go further

00:56:32and place a pen

00:56:33parallel to the laptop

00:56:34at a certain angle.

00:56:35You can measure

00:56:36the angle

00:56:37with your smartwatch

00:56:38or your phone

00:56:39using the compass app.

00:56:40Again,

00:56:41if someone moves it,

00:56:42you will know immediately.

00:56:44Even something

00:56:45as simple as

00:56:46a panel not disturbing

00:56:47can help you

00:56:48know if someone

00:56:49has entered your room

00:56:50during your absence.

00:56:52Pretend you left

00:56:53in a hurry

00:56:54and the panel

00:56:55accidentally got stuck

00:56:56between the door

00:56:57and its frame.

00:56:58If you come back

00:56:59and the panel

00:57:00hangs freely,

00:57:01it means that someone

00:57:02ignored it

00:57:03and tried to disturb you.

00:57:04In this case,

00:57:05you can contact

00:57:06the reception

00:57:07and ask someone

00:57:08to enter the room

00:57:09with you

00:57:10to ensure your safety.

00:57:12If you care

00:57:13as much

00:57:14about the cleanliness

00:57:15of your room

00:57:16as you do

00:57:17about your personal

00:57:18safety,

00:57:19then this advice

00:57:20is for you.

00:57:21Hotel employees

00:57:22should normally

00:57:23take care of

00:57:2420 rooms

00:57:25per 8-hour working day.

00:57:26This means

00:57:27they won't have

00:57:28more than 30 minutes

00:57:29to take care of your room.

00:57:30This gives them

00:57:31enough time

00:57:32to make the bed,

00:57:33clean the room

00:57:34and the bathroom,

00:57:35empty the trash

00:57:36and dust off

00:57:37all the surfaces.

00:57:38But they rarely have

00:57:39the time to take care

00:57:40of small objects

00:57:41like switches,

00:57:42door handles

00:57:43and drawers

00:57:44or remote controls.

00:57:45And yes,

00:57:46these are precisely

00:57:47the objects

00:57:48you'll be in contact

00:57:49with the most.

00:57:50They can even receive

00:57:51more germs

00:57:52than toilets.

00:57:53So,

00:57:54if you want to be sure

00:57:55that these germs

00:57:56won't land on your hands,

00:57:57take enough antibacterial

00:57:58wipes

00:57:59to clean

00:58:00all these objects

00:58:01before touching them.

00:58:03Hotels are

00:58:04very popular places

00:58:05to visit.

00:58:06However,

00:58:07cleanliness

00:58:08is not necessarily

00:58:09a priority.

00:58:10There can be

00:58:11bedwetting

00:58:12and other parasites

00:58:13that are only noticed

00:58:14when it's already

00:58:15too late.

00:58:16Here's a tip.

00:58:17When you arrive

00:58:18at the hotel

00:58:19and enter your room,

00:58:20don't rush

00:58:21to open your suitcases

00:58:22and put all your clothes

00:58:23in the cupboards

00:58:24or on the bed.

00:58:25It's better

00:58:26to leave your luggage

00:58:27in the bathroom

00:58:28and examine the room

00:58:29in search

00:58:30of potential parasites.

00:58:31You have to check

00:58:32all the carpets,

00:58:33furniture,

00:58:34cushions

00:58:35and other surfaces

00:58:36that attract

00:58:37these little animals.

00:58:38Once the investigation

00:58:39has been carried out,

00:58:40you can unpack

00:58:41your suitcases.

00:58:42The bathroom

00:58:43is the best place

00:58:44to protect your belongings

00:58:45because insects

00:58:46can't survive there.

00:58:47So,

00:58:48it's impossible

00:58:49for them to infest

00:58:50your luggage

00:58:51while you're not

00:58:52paying attention.

00:58:53Besides,

00:58:54it would be better

00:58:55if you got rid

00:58:56of this duvet.

00:58:57The sheets

00:58:58may be washed regularly,

00:58:59but it's not the case

00:59:00with duvets.

00:59:01In some hotels,

00:59:02they are washed

00:59:03once a week

00:59:04and again.

00:59:05But in others,

00:59:06they are not washed

00:59:07at all.

00:59:08The same goes

00:59:09for litter.

00:59:10Chic hotels

00:59:11change sheets

00:59:12every day,

00:59:13but many low-priced hotels

00:59:14don't change

00:59:15their duvets

00:59:16or sheets

00:59:17when another person

00:59:18leaves.

00:59:19It's better

00:59:20to ask for clean

00:59:21duvet covers

00:59:22upon arrival.

00:59:23It's also better

00:59:24not to drink

00:59:25in the glass

00:59:26of the bathroom

00:59:27because most of them

00:59:28are not properly washed.

00:59:29The staff

00:59:30at the hotel

00:59:31have to wash

00:59:32the glasses.

00:59:33Have you ever wondered

00:59:34why they don't use

00:59:35foam sheets

00:59:36in hotels?

00:59:37It's convenient

00:59:38for the house,

00:59:39but not really

00:59:40for the hotel structures.

00:59:41The sheets

00:59:42are changed

00:59:43much more often

00:59:44than at home

00:59:45and the elastic

00:59:46wears out

00:59:47much too quickly.

00:59:48It's also a hassle

00:59:49to put away

00:59:50the foam sheets.

00:59:51You should always

00:59:52have several

00:59:53of different sizes.

00:59:54It is therefore

00:59:55more convenient

00:59:56to use two simple sheets

00:59:57for double beds.

00:59:58Speaking of sheets,

00:59:59the toilet

01:00:00and the towels

01:00:01are almost always white.

01:00:02It's first of all

01:00:03a practical question.

01:00:04You can wash everything

01:00:05together

01:00:06and add water

01:00:07from Javel

01:00:08just in case

01:00:09to get rid

01:00:10of stains.

01:00:11But it's also

01:00:12a matter of comfort

01:00:13for the users.

01:00:14According to

01:00:15an investigation

01:00:16carried out

01:00:17by the hotel

01:00:18clientele,

01:00:19white is perceived

01:00:20as a fresh

01:00:21and luxurious color

01:00:22that makes

01:00:23the stay

01:00:24more pleasant.

01:00:25If a hotel room

01:00:26seems to be

01:00:27too modest,

01:00:28you should be careful.

01:00:29It's possible

01:00:30that the price

01:00:31does not include

01:00:32the service charges.

01:00:33If you pay

01:00:34your room in advance,

01:00:35you pay all the

01:00:36stay charges,

01:00:37that is,

01:00:38the initial price

01:00:39of the room

01:00:40at the time

01:00:41of booking

01:00:42and all the

01:00:43additional charges,

01:00:44such as the

01:00:45service charges.

01:00:46If you decide

01:00:47to pay at the hotel

01:00:48at the end of the stay,

01:00:49you can face

01:00:50unexpected charges.

01:00:51It's better

01:00:52to read the add-on.

01:00:53You may have noticed

01:00:54that in some hotels

01:00:55there was a phone

01:00:56in the bathroom

01:00:57right next

01:00:58to the toilets.

01:00:59It may seem strange,

01:01:00but it's mandatory

01:01:01for hotels

01:01:02that have received

01:01:03four stars

01:01:04in the United States.

01:01:05And finally,

01:01:06it's not that absurd.

01:01:07Imagine you slip

01:01:08and fall

01:01:09into the bathroom.

01:01:10Having a phone

01:01:11at hand

01:01:12to call for help

01:01:13is not so bad.

01:01:14Still concerning

01:01:15the bathrooms,

01:01:16there is generally

01:01:17no suction cup

01:01:18for toilets.

01:01:19It's to give

01:01:20the impression

01:01:21to others

01:01:22that they are

01:01:23the first

01:01:24to set foot

01:01:25in this room.

01:01:26It's a matter

01:01:27of comfort

01:01:28and it's the priority

01:01:29of every hotel

01:01:30that respects itself.

01:01:31According to anonymous

01:01:32surveys,

01:01:33the presence

01:01:34of a suction cup

01:01:35for toilets

01:01:36gives the impression

01:01:37that it could

01:01:38malfunction

01:01:39and it doesn't

01:01:40give a very good image.

01:01:41If the keys

01:01:42to the rooms

01:01:43are magnetic cards,

01:01:44you shouldn't

01:01:45put them

01:01:46near your phone

01:01:47or your wallet.

01:01:48The problem is

01:01:49that the key cards

01:01:50are designed

01:01:51to be reconfigured

01:01:52regularly

01:01:53in a simple

01:01:54and fast way

01:01:55so any element

01:01:56a little powerful

01:01:57like your phone

01:01:58can demagnetize

01:01:59the card

01:02:00so that you

01:02:01won't be able

01:02:02to open the door

01:02:03of your room.

01:02:04The hotel

01:02:05will certainly

01:02:06give you a new card

01:02:07but it's still annoying.

01:02:08Some hotels

01:02:09only accept

01:02:10the credit card

01:02:11as a means of payment.

01:02:12Without a credit card,

01:02:13it's impossible

01:02:14to book a room

01:02:15or to pay

01:02:16the services on site.

01:02:17Booking a room

01:02:18is only the first

01:02:19step

01:02:20of the stay at the hotel.

01:02:21You can take advantage

01:02:22of services

01:02:23like the minibar

01:02:24which will be billed

01:02:25at the end of the stay.

01:02:26If you don't have

01:02:27enough money

01:02:28to pay the bill

01:02:29on your debit card,

01:02:30the hotel

01:02:31has no other solution

01:02:32but to start

01:02:33legal proceedings

01:02:34whereas if you pay

01:02:35with a credit card,

01:02:36all the additional

01:02:37fees are taken

01:02:38into account

01:02:39by the bank

01:02:40and everyone

01:02:41is happy.

01:02:42The arrival

01:02:43and departure

01:02:44times

01:02:45of the hotels

01:02:46are not made

01:02:47to bother the clients.

01:02:48They allow the guests

01:02:49not to meet.

01:02:50They also give the staff

01:02:51time to clean the room

01:02:52and to prepare it

01:02:53for the next arrivals.

01:02:54The departure time

01:02:55is generally

01:02:56scheduled

01:02:57between 11am

01:02:58and noon

01:02:59for a matter

01:03:00of comfort.

01:03:01You can have

01:03:02your breakfast

01:03:03and get ready

01:03:04quietly at the departure.

01:03:05In some hotels

01:03:06there is no

01:03:07power outlet

01:03:08next to the bed.

01:03:09It's a bit lame,

01:03:10isn't it?

01:03:11Everything

01:03:12is a matter

01:03:13of date.

01:03:14Many hotels

01:03:15were built

01:03:16before the invention

01:03:17of the democratization

01:03:18of mobile phones.

01:03:19At the same time,

01:03:20there are

01:03:21no power outlets

01:03:22next to the bed.

01:03:23At the time,

01:03:24there was not

01:03:25so much need

01:03:26for power outlets

01:03:27next to the bed.

01:03:28Many hotels

01:03:29have not yet

01:03:30been updated.

01:03:31The best way

01:03:32to avoid this problem

01:03:33is to stay

01:03:34in a relatively

01:03:35recent hotel.

01:03:36When you

01:03:37show up

01:03:38at a hotel's

01:03:39reception,

01:03:40the staff

01:03:41may recognize you.

01:03:42It is not rare,

01:03:43especially

01:03:44in high-standing

01:03:45structures,

01:03:46that the staff

01:03:47do some research

01:03:48about their hosts

01:03:49on social networks.

01:03:50It is a good way

01:03:51to know more

01:03:52about your host

01:03:53and to allow yourself

01:03:54to be more at ease.

01:03:55At the reception,

01:03:56you will receive

01:03:57a key

01:03:58that will reprogram

01:03:59the lock

01:04:00and make all

01:04:01other keys

01:04:02unusable.

01:04:03It is important

01:04:04to be courteous

01:04:05with the staff

01:04:06if you want

01:04:07to avoid farces.

01:04:08High-standing hosts

01:04:09sometimes have

01:04:10two initial keys

01:04:11that reprogram

01:04:12the lock each time.

01:04:13It becomes impossible

01:04:14to open the door.

01:04:15Dental floss

01:04:16is becoming

01:04:17more and more rare

01:04:18in hotel bathroom

01:04:19rooms.

01:04:20It is too expensive

01:04:21for low-budget

01:04:22hotels

01:04:23because it is

01:04:24considered

01:04:25as a medical product.

01:04:26For luxury hotels,

01:04:27it is the opposite problem.

01:04:28They can't find

01:04:29fancy dental floss

01:04:30brands

01:04:31to offer it

01:04:32to their clients.

01:04:33The staff

01:04:34regularly

01:04:35clean the rooms

01:04:36but do not often

01:04:37disinfect

01:04:38the smallest objects.

01:04:39Phones

01:04:40and remote controls

01:04:41are the dirtiest

01:04:42objects in hotel rooms.

01:04:43It is better

01:04:44to sterilize them

01:04:45yourself

01:04:46with disinfectant

01:04:47and a towel.

01:04:48The safe

01:04:49is not necessarily

01:04:50the best place

01:04:51to store

01:04:52your valuables.

01:04:53Hotels' safes

01:04:54are usually

01:04:55code safes

01:04:56and it is very likely

01:04:57that someone

01:04:58knows about them.

01:04:59Who knows

01:05:00who else

01:05:01can have access

01:05:02to this information?

01:05:03Over-reservation

01:05:04is a common practice

01:05:05in hotels

01:05:06because the average

01:05:07daily number

01:05:08of clients

01:05:09who do not show up

01:05:10rises to

01:05:11about 10%.

01:05:12Therefore,

01:05:13it is possible

01:05:14that your reservation

01:05:15is not taken into account.

01:05:16If there is no room

01:05:17available

01:05:18when you arrive,

01:05:19it is possible

01:05:20that the hotel

01:05:21pays you

01:05:22another room

01:05:23in a similar structure

01:05:24of the surroundings.

01:05:25People leave

01:05:26everything

01:05:27and anything

01:05:28in hotel rooms.

01:05:29In Portugal,

01:05:30an employee

01:05:31found a shark

01:05:32that had been

01:05:33abandoned there.

01:05:34The poor animal

01:05:35was transferred

01:05:36to its natural habitat

01:05:37safely.

01:05:38Most,

01:05:39if not all,

01:05:40hotels

01:05:41choose carpeting

01:05:42and there is

01:05:43a very good reason

01:05:44for this.

01:05:45First of all,

01:05:46it is a matter

01:05:47of safety.

01:05:48There is less chance

01:05:49of slipping

01:05:50and falling

01:05:51on carpet

01:05:52than on parquet

01:05:53or tile.

01:05:54In addition,

01:05:55it is also economical.

01:05:56It is easier

01:05:57to change

01:05:58a damaged carpet

01:05:59than to redo

01:06:00the entire floor.

01:06:01The carpet

01:06:02is also a good way

01:06:03to soundproof a room

01:06:04and it is not so bad

01:06:05when you have

01:06:06neighbors.

01:06:07Too turbulent!

01:06:10Have you ever wondered

01:06:11what a continental breakfast

01:06:12was and why

01:06:13it is called

01:06:14like that?

01:06:15The name comes

01:06:16from the United Kingdom

01:06:17which is a set of islands

01:06:18and it refers to

01:06:19the breakfast

01:06:20that is served

01:06:21in continental Europe.

01:06:22It can be composed

01:06:23of pastries,

01:06:24different types

01:06:25of tarts,

01:06:26meat,

01:06:27cheese,

01:06:28fruit juice

01:06:29and hot drinks.

01:06:32Check in the corner

01:06:33under the bed.

01:06:35Wait,

01:06:36what is hidden here?

01:06:38Hotels are supposed

01:06:39to be your home

01:06:40far from home.

01:06:41But do you know

01:06:42what secret

01:06:43is hidden

01:06:44in a hotel room?

01:06:45Here is what

01:06:46no staff member

01:06:47or manager

01:06:48will ever tell you.

01:06:49Some hotel owners

01:06:50are very superstitious

01:06:51about the number 13

01:06:52or they estimate

01:06:53that customers

01:06:54could be it.

01:06:55Anyway,

01:06:56it is possible

01:06:57that the room 13

01:06:58or the entire

01:06:5913th floor

01:07:00is completely gone.

01:07:02In the Far East,

01:07:03it is the same

01:07:04for the number 4.

01:07:06You can easily

01:07:07get an extra

01:07:08room without

01:07:09additional costs

01:07:10if you celebrate

01:07:11a birthday

01:07:13Just call in advance

01:07:14and tell them

01:07:15about the event

01:07:16to come.

01:07:18You may check

01:07:19the bed to see

01:07:20if there are

01:07:21ticks or insects

01:07:22but you probably

01:07:23forget the dirtiest

01:07:24thing in the room

01:07:25the TV remote.

01:07:27It is not disinfected

01:07:28between each reservation

01:07:30but in a plastic bag

01:07:31before using it.

01:07:33There is a lot

01:07:34of other dirty stuff

01:07:35in this room

01:07:36but we will talk

01:07:37about it later.

01:07:38Each hotel

01:07:39has a place

01:07:40where the maintenance

01:07:41staff

01:07:42put the forgotten

01:07:43objects.

01:07:44The most frequently

01:07:45lost objects

01:07:46are the phone chargers

01:07:47but more interesting

01:07:48discoveries

01:07:49have been made.

01:07:50False teeth,

01:07:51glass eyes

01:07:52and even

01:07:53plastic boxes.

01:07:54If no one

01:07:55comes to look

01:07:56for these strange

01:07:57treasures after

01:07:585 or 10 years

01:07:59yes, they are

01:08:00nice enough

01:08:01to wait

01:08:02the staff members

01:08:03take out

01:08:04the lost objects

01:08:05between them.

01:08:06Some luxury hotels

01:08:07may have hidden

01:08:08cameras

01:08:09for security reasons.

01:08:10The most common

01:08:11reason for this

01:08:12is the Judas

01:08:13of the door.

01:08:14So always stick

01:08:15a piece of tape

01:08:16or mastic

01:08:17on the one

01:08:18in your room.

01:08:19However,

01:08:20it is not normal

01:08:21that there is

01:08:22a hidden camera

01:08:23in the room itself.

01:08:24To check it,

01:08:25turn off the light

01:08:26and turn on

01:08:27the front camera

01:08:28of your phone.

01:08:29Slowly scan

01:08:30the room.

01:08:31Your device

01:08:32will capture

01:08:33their infrared light.

01:08:34The most common

01:08:35places are

01:08:36near the bed

01:08:37and in the bathroom

01:08:38so check

01:08:39where you sleep

01:08:40and where you sleep.

01:08:41The staff often

01:08:42let their friends

01:08:43and their families

01:08:44stay for free.

01:08:45But you don't

01:08:46notice it

01:08:47because they usually

01:08:48leave before

01:08:49the beginning

01:08:50of the high season.

01:08:51The employees

01:08:52and the staff

01:08:53can also

01:08:54benefit from

01:08:55some advantages.

01:08:56They can

01:08:57keep the towels,

01:08:58slippers,

01:08:59soaps

01:09:00and shampoos.

01:09:01But what you

01:09:02may not know

01:09:03is that the hotel

01:09:04chains often

01:09:05allow you

01:09:06to take

01:09:07some objects

01:09:08with their name

01:09:09and their logo.

01:09:10This gives them

01:09:11free advertising

01:09:12when you bring

01:09:13these objects

01:09:14with you.

01:09:15These beautiful

01:09:16shiny fruits and vegetables

01:09:17near the entrance

01:09:18of the hotel-restaurant

01:09:19are not just

01:09:20a decoration.

01:09:21They make your body

01:09:22look better

01:09:23before you

01:09:24even take

01:09:25your plate.

01:09:26You eat less

01:09:27and the hotel

01:09:28saves money.

01:09:29The hotels

01:09:30can give you

01:09:31extra bottles

01:09:32of shower gel

01:09:33or other

01:09:34toiletries

01:09:35but some

01:09:36make you pay

01:09:37if you took

01:09:38too much

01:09:39food at the

01:09:40breakfast buffet.

01:09:41And to avoid

01:09:42contradicting

01:09:43the cooks

01:09:44with the amount

01:09:45of food thrown away,

01:09:46hotels in

01:09:47some countries

01:09:48make their customers

01:09:49pay for everything

01:09:50that is left

01:09:51unconsumed

01:09:52in the plate.

01:09:53No hotel chain

01:09:54will tell you

01:09:55how to get

01:09:56the biggest

01:09:57discount

01:09:58for your stay.

01:09:59So if you

01:10:00have a limited

01:10:01budget,

01:10:02make a reservation

01:10:03after 6 p.m.

01:10:04This is when

01:10:05the commercial

01:10:06will start.

01:10:07This often means

01:10:08that you have to

01:10:09reduce the price

01:10:10sometimes by half.

01:10:11The first Sunday

01:10:12of the month

01:10:13is the best time

01:10:14to register.

01:10:15The holidaymakers

01:10:16leave,

01:10:17the business

01:10:18travelers

01:10:19haven't arrived yet

01:10:20so most of the

01:10:21best rooms

01:10:22are available.

01:10:23To get

01:10:24the best choice,

01:10:25there is a special

01:10:26service called

01:10:27rooming.

01:10:28You can see

01:10:29everything in the hotel

01:10:30and choose

01:10:31the room

01:10:32that you like

01:10:33the most.

01:10:34Just ask

01:10:35the volunteers

01:10:36of their other

01:10:37free services

01:10:38unless you

01:10:39don't ask for it.

01:10:40Free phone chargers,

01:10:41ironing boards,

01:10:42water bottles

01:10:43and board games

01:10:44are part of it.

01:10:45They can also

01:10:46order a transfer

01:10:47for you,

01:10:48book concert

01:10:49or theater tickets

01:10:50and wake you

01:10:51at a specific time.

01:10:52Hotels can

01:10:53refuse to register

01:10:54even if you

01:10:55have paid

01:10:56your reservation

01:10:57in advance.

01:10:58They can sometimes

01:10:59cancel your reservation

01:11:00if you don't

01:11:01show up

01:11:02before a certain time.

01:11:03If something

01:11:04happens,

01:11:05call and

01:11:06warn them

01:11:07in advance.

01:11:08And even if

01:11:09you show up

01:11:10on time,

01:11:11you can still

01:11:12be refused

01:11:13a room.

01:11:14This usually

01:11:15happens when

01:11:16the hotel

01:11:17is overcrowded.

01:11:18In this case,

01:11:19they can redirect

01:11:20you to another

01:11:21hotel.

01:11:22Even more surprising,

01:11:23the chances

01:11:24that this

01:11:25happens

01:11:26depend on

01:11:27who you are.

01:11:28Single young

01:11:29men,

01:11:30couples

01:11:31and groups

01:11:32of friends

01:11:33can make

01:11:34unexpected

01:11:35changes.

01:11:36Before you

01:11:37jump on the minibar,

01:11:38it's better

01:11:39to check

01:11:40if the drinks

01:11:41are sealed.

01:11:42Hotel employees

01:11:43say that

01:11:44there have been

01:11:45cases where

01:11:46the clients

01:11:47finished all

01:11:48the drinks

01:11:49and filled

01:11:50the bottles

01:11:51with tap water

01:11:52to avoid

01:11:53paying them.

01:11:54Big chains

01:11:55often have

01:11:56their own

01:11:57special transport

01:11:58to pick up

01:11:59important clients

01:12:00or to

01:12:01move around

01:12:02the hotel.

01:12:03But don't

01:12:04ask the receptionist

01:12:05to recommend

01:12:06the place

01:12:07where you

01:12:08have to eat.

01:12:09He will

01:12:10recommend a

01:12:11partner restaurant

01:12:12that pays for

01:12:13the recommendations,

01:12:14even if it is

01:12:15expensive and

01:12:16bad.

01:12:17Clients don't

01:12:18really pay

01:12:19for the room

01:12:20itself,

01:12:21but for

01:12:22the location

01:12:23of the hotel.

01:12:24The proximity

01:12:25of the airport,

01:12:26the beach,

01:12:27downtown

01:12:28or famous

01:12:29sites will

01:12:30cost you

01:12:31at least

01:12:32two times

01:12:33before you

01:12:34give the keys

01:12:35to the driver.

01:12:36There have

01:12:37been cases

01:12:38where hotel

01:12:39employees

01:12:40took a

01:12:41high-end car

01:12:42for a

01:12:43small trip

01:12:44and filmed

01:12:45themselves inside.

01:12:46A famous

01:12:47person could

01:12:48stay in the

01:12:49room next

01:12:50to yours.

01:12:51No one

01:12:52would know

01:12:53because they

01:12:54can use

01:12:55random names

01:12:56to hide

01:12:57their identity.

01:12:58But for

01:12:59the rest of us,

01:13:00it's a great

01:13:01view of a

01:13:02brick wall.

01:13:03This happens

01:13:04often, but

01:13:05they are

01:13:06supposed to

01:13:07offer a

01:13:08discount or

01:13:09a free service

01:13:10to make up

01:13:11for the difference.

01:13:12Show this

01:13:13right if

01:13:14the receptionist

01:13:15doesn't

01:13:16offer it to you.

01:13:17The safe

01:13:18in your

01:13:19room can

01:13:20be

01:13:21all but

01:13:22safe.

01:13:23If you have

01:13:24valuables,

01:13:25ask the reception

01:13:26to put them

01:13:27in the

01:13:28hotel's

01:13:29wardrobe.

01:13:30If the

01:13:31rooms and

01:13:32hotels look

01:13:33clean,

01:13:34ask the

01:13:35reception to

01:13:36put them

01:13:37in the

01:13:38wardrobe.

01:13:39Don't sit

01:13:40on them

01:13:41without

01:13:42a towel

01:13:43or a

01:13:44blanket.

01:13:45You don't

01:13:46know if

01:13:47the

01:13:48previous

01:13:49customer

01:13:50didn't

01:13:51put his

01:13:52feet on

01:13:53them.

01:13:54These

01:13:55feet are

01:13:56probably

01:13:57dirty

01:13:58because

01:13:59they

01:14:00are

01:14:01dirty.

01:14:02Same

01:14:03thing with

01:14:04the bed.

01:14:05Before

01:14:06lying on it,

01:14:07know that

01:14:08the staff

01:14:09probably

01:14:10wash the

01:14:11sheets

01:14:12between

01:14:13each

01:14:14customer

01:14:15but not

01:14:16this

01:14:17big and

01:14:18beautiful

01:14:19blanket

01:14:20full of

01:14:21germs.

01:14:22Don't

01:14:23touch

01:14:24the glasses

01:14:25either.

01:14:26Even if

01:14:27they

01:14:28are

01:14:29dirty,

01:14:30don't

01:14:31touch

01:14:32them.

01:14:33The

01:14:34most

01:14:35often

01:14:36forgotten

01:14:37things are

01:15:54The third-party websites often offer the worst rooms or the ones that stay.

01:15:58Hotels are also likely to offer a reduced price if you book directly,

01:16:02while third-party websites charge hotel fees, which are in the price you pay.

01:16:08Once you are at the registration counter, it is likely that the hotel staff already recognizes you.

01:16:13Many hotels, especially high-end hotels,

01:16:16do a little search on their clients' social media.

01:16:19Although it seems a little scary,

01:16:21it is only so that they can see who you are and make your stay more pleasant.

01:16:25During the registration, you will also receive a key that will re-initialize the lock of your door

01:16:30and cancel all existing keys.

01:16:32But make sure to be respectful to the receptionists.

01:16:36Sometimes, they take revenge on impolite customers by making double keys.

01:16:40They give you two keys, but both re-initialize the door.

01:16:44So once you have used the second, the first will no longer work.

01:16:48If your key is equipped with a magnetic tape,

01:16:51make sure not to put it near your mobile phone or your wallet.

01:16:55A powerful magnet, like the one on your phone, can erase the data from your key card,

01:16:59which means that you will no longer be able to enter your room.

01:17:02Now that you are registered, let's go to your room.

01:17:06Make sure to quickly review your doors and your floor.

01:17:09Some hotel clients reported that tiny cameras had been slipped under their doors.

01:17:14Even if the door is locked, endoscopic cameras can easily slip under it.

01:17:19The general rule is that if you can get your fingers under the door,

01:17:23a camera can also pass through.

01:17:25Try to cover the interstice with a towel.

01:17:28Now, what about the room in general?

01:17:30If you are not satisfied with it, you can easily ask for a change.

01:17:34If there are other rooms available, the receptionist will be happy to help you.

01:17:38Once you have been installed, go to the bathroom to take a look at all these samples.

01:17:43Although you can think of doing business by picking up all the free shampoos,

01:17:47hotels actually want you to take them.

01:17:50These articles have the hotel logo on them,

01:17:52so you advertise them for free if you take them.

01:17:55However, it is not the same for bathrooms and towels.

01:17:59Many hotels are now adding radio-frequency chips

01:18:02to be able to track stolen articles.

01:18:04The toothpaste is an article that you will probably not find in the hotel bathroom.

01:18:10For economic hotels, it is often too expensive to order,

01:18:13because it is classified as medical supplies.

01:18:15For luxury hotels, it is the opposite.

01:18:18They often cannot find a high-end toothpaste manufacturer

01:18:21to be present in their room.

01:18:23You may also notice a phone next to the toilets.

01:18:26It is a requirement of the AAA

01:18:28for hotels to receive a note of 4 diamonds.

01:18:31It is also used as a security device.

01:18:34If you slip on the wet floor,

01:18:35or if you are stuck in the toilets for some reason,

01:18:38you can easily call for help.

01:18:40Although staff often clean hotel rooms,

01:18:43disinfecting small objects is not on their priority list.

01:18:48Telecommands and phones are among the dirtiest objects in a hotel room.

01:18:53So don't forget to bring disinfectant wipes

01:18:55to clean them before using them.

01:18:58If you plan to put your valuables in the safe,

01:19:00as a security measure,

01:19:02you should also think twice about it.

01:19:04The hotel safes are equipped with passwords, not locks.

01:19:08So there is a good chance that someone in the hotel knows the password.

01:19:12And they could get hold of information or valuables.

01:19:16You can also throw the sheets on the floor.

01:19:18If the sheets can be cleaned regularly,

01:19:20this is not the case with the sheets.

01:19:22Some hotels wash them every week or almost,

01:19:25but others don't even care.

01:19:27And it is sometimes the same for the sheets.

01:19:29Most high-end hotels change the sheets every day.

01:19:32But many economic hotels do not change the headrests or the litter

01:19:36after the departure of a client.

01:19:38So it is not useless to ask for clean headrests when you arrive.

01:19:42You are now ready to lie down on the bed and watch a movie.

01:19:45But don't try to scam the hotel

01:19:46by pretending that you clicked on it by accident

01:19:48so as not to have to pay.

01:19:50The reception staff can see how long you watched a movie.

01:19:54So if you stopped it after a few seconds, they will believe you.

01:19:57But not if you watched it until the end.

01:20:00Do you want a drink while you watch your movie?

01:20:02Make sure to check the caps on the bottles of the minibar.

01:20:06Some smart clients often drink in the bottles and fill them with water.

01:20:10This way, they avoid paying them

01:20:12and you could be charged if the staff had not noticed.

01:20:16After a good night's sleep,

01:20:18you are looking for something to do during your holidays.

01:20:20Instead of calling Google or TripAdvisor to find the best places,

01:20:24ask for a reception.

01:20:26The receptionists are trained to give customers

01:20:28the best recommendations for local activities.

01:20:31During your absence, the staff will pass in your room,

01:20:34but they may not only clean it.

01:20:37Sometimes, if a staff member is tired and has plenty of time,

01:20:41he can take a short nap in your bed.

01:20:44During cleaning, if you left your room in a mess,

01:20:46the staff will have to move your things.

01:20:49They will have to touch them to do the cleaning,

01:20:51so if that bothers you,

01:20:52put the sign,

01:20:53do not disturb,

01:20:54or do the cleaning yourself.

01:20:56It is also preferable not to drink in the glass of the bathroom,

01:20:59because many glasses are not properly cleaned.

01:21:02Some employees even use disinfectant or furniture wax

01:21:06to make the glasses impeccable.

01:21:08The cleaning staff does not always vacuum your room either.

01:21:13They are sometimes content to pick up the biggest filth.

01:21:16Make sure you are friendly with the staff.

01:21:18Most of the hotel staff is ready to offer overrides

01:21:22and free services to a friendly customer.

01:21:24They do not have to do it,

01:21:26but a smile never hurts,

01:21:28and a drink too.

01:21:30It is now time to check out,

01:21:31but you leave early and you will miss breakfast.

01:21:34If it is included in the price of your room,

01:21:36the staff can prepare it for you to take away,

01:21:38but it is then preferable to warn them the night before.

01:21:42Also look at the floor when leaving.

01:21:44It's carpet, isn't it?

01:21:46Most hotels have floors entirely covered with carpets,

01:21:49and this for three main reasons.

01:21:51First, you are much less likely to slip on the carpet

01:21:55than on wood or stone.

01:21:57Secondly, the carpet offers additional acoustic insulation.

01:22:01Thirdly, it is more profitable for the hotel

01:22:04because the carpet is much easier and cheaper to replace.

01:22:08You are ready for your next vacation,

01:22:10but you are held up at work at the last minute.

01:22:12What a nightmare!

01:22:13Everything is booked,

01:22:14so it seems that you will have to pay

01:22:16these boring last-minute cancellation fees.

01:22:18If you call the hotel and ask to change

01:22:21for a later booking date,

01:22:23there are chances that when you cancel this new date,

01:22:26the fees will be canceled.

01:22:27Hotels are also used to overbooking

01:22:30because the average daily non-booking rate is around 10%.

01:22:34This means that there is a chance

01:22:36that you will not get the room you booked.

01:22:39If you show up and there is no available room,

01:22:42there is a good chance that you will be re-booked.

01:22:44This means that the hotel will pay you a room

01:22:46in another similar hotel in the neighborhood.

01:22:49Most hotels also only accept credit cards

01:22:52as a means of payment.

01:22:53Although this can be boring,

01:22:55it is to ensure that they receive the payment well.

01:22:57Customers often use paid additional services,

01:23:00such as the minibar,

01:23:01which they pay at the time of departure.

01:23:03If your debit card does not have enough funds

01:23:05to cover the cost,

01:23:06the only way for the hotel to get the money

01:23:08is to sue you.

01:23:10Lawyer fees are billed separately.

01:23:13There is a surprising amount of objects

01:23:15left in the rooms,

01:23:16and the hotels don't want you to know.

01:23:18In a hotel in Portugal,

01:23:20an employee even found a shark in the bathtub.

01:23:23Without knowing how he ended up there,

01:23:25the shark was finally sent back to its natural habitat,

01:23:28safe and sound.

01:23:29So, once again,

01:23:31be careful when you go to the bathroom for the first time.

01:23:35Even if this is a good intention,

01:23:37folding the towels carefully

01:23:39is not the best thing to do in a hotel.

01:23:41The general rule is as follows.

01:23:44Leave them in a ball somewhere,

01:23:46for example on the floor of the bathroom

01:23:48or in the bathtub.

01:23:49The room staff will then know

01:23:51that they need to be changed.

01:23:53If you fold them too neatly,

01:23:55the staff can make a mistake

01:23:56and leave them as they are,

01:23:57thinking that they are still fresh.

01:24:00You travel with a small budget

01:24:02and you brought accessories

01:24:03to be able to cook on site at the hotel.

01:24:06No problem,

01:24:07but if there is only one outlet

01:24:09and you want to boil eggs in your electric kettle,

01:24:12it is better to refrain from it.

01:24:14First of all,

01:24:15you never know what the outlet's capacity is.

01:24:18It can even trigger the hotel's fire alarm,

01:24:21depending on whether the sandwich is cold

01:24:22or something else.

01:24:24Of course,

01:24:25you can boil water for a bowl of instant noodles,

01:24:28but if you want a very crispy slice of toast,

01:24:31never try to do it with a iron to iron.

01:24:35It may sound crazy,

01:24:36but some people have already tried

01:24:38to warm up their frozen pizza with a hair dryer.

01:24:41What happened?

01:24:42They ended up having to look for another hotel

01:24:45and a real restaurant.

01:24:47Always look for hotels that include breakfast.

01:24:50It is generally much more expensive

01:24:51to have breakfast in a neighboring restaurant

01:24:54and you probably won't know where to go.

01:24:57It is preferable to opt for the hotel's buffet,

01:25:00with coffee, cheese, ham, toast, fruit.

01:25:04If you take full advantage of it,

01:25:05you probably won't be hungry until dinner.

01:25:08Sometimes,

01:25:09your hotel room is much bigger than you thought.

01:25:12If there are two beds,

01:25:13but you travel alone,

01:25:14don't use both.

01:25:15It would only add unnecessary work

01:25:18to the hotel staff.

01:25:20Even if the room service includes cleaning,

01:25:22it is polite to do yourself a clean before leaving.

01:25:26Pick up the papers that hang,

01:25:28wipe the coffee you spilled,

01:25:30but don't make the bed.

01:25:31The staff will replace the sheets anyway.

01:25:34In addition,

01:25:35if you make the bed just after getting up,

01:25:37you only create a beautiful dark and humid environment

01:25:40that the tiny aquariums love.

01:25:43Yes,

01:25:43small animals can be a real problem.

01:25:46Even the best hotels,

01:25:47with the best staff,

01:25:49can be helpless against these microscopic creatures.

01:25:53Put your luggage in the bathtub first.

01:25:55It's the cleanest place in the room.

01:25:57Then,

01:25:58check if there are any animals in the room.

01:26:00If you don't see any,

01:26:01you can start unpacking.

01:26:04OK,

01:26:04no insects in sight,

01:26:06but what about mold?

01:26:07The most common way to let mold develop in a hotel room

01:26:12is to throw your wet towel on the bed

01:26:14and go out for the day.

01:26:16You will surely return to a room with an interesting smell.

01:26:20If you travel a lot

01:26:21and you plan to use the same hotel chain several times,

01:26:24don't try to make the hotel believe

01:26:26that you didn't drink this can of minibar.

01:26:29Yes,

01:26:29a can of soda can cost you

01:26:31twice as much as what you would pay at the gas station,

01:26:33but you don't want to be put on the hotel's blacklist, do you?

01:26:37Even if it seems very crazy,

01:26:39never boil your socks

01:26:41or any other clothes in the boiler room of your hotel room.

01:26:45Some hotel managers claim to have seen this happen.

01:26:48All you have to do is send your clothes to the hotel's cleaning service.

01:26:52If you like to sleep on a very thick pillow,

01:26:55ask for an additional pillow at the reception.

01:26:57Don't even think about moving the pillow from the couch.

01:27:00There is a good chance that it has never really been washed.

01:27:04Saying thank you is always polite,

01:27:06but a good toast is even more appreciated.

01:27:10However,

01:27:10don't just leave a big toast at the room service

01:27:13on the last day of your stay.

01:27:15Different people have been able to clean your room,

01:27:17so giving a toast only on the last day is a bit unfair.

01:27:21If you decide to leave your toast on the very last day,

01:27:24leave a note to make sure they share it with their colleagues.

01:27:28You can also give a toast to the driver

01:27:30when you drop off and pick up your vehicle.

01:27:32Don't be shy.

01:27:34You can also give a toast to the porter, the luggage carrier.

01:27:37These little toasts can be added,

01:27:39but the staff will take care of you

01:27:42throughout your stay.

01:27:44You can keep the reusable items from your hotel room

01:27:47as a souvenir,

01:27:49although it is normal to take shampoo,

01:27:51lotions, soaps, combs and sewing kits.

01:27:55These accessories can save you in case of emergency,

01:27:57but leave the towels, glasses and dishes for the next customer.

01:28:02If your room has the bathroom of your dreams,

01:28:04you can always go to the reception

01:28:06and ask if you can buy one.

01:28:08If you take it without asking for permission,

01:28:11there is a good chance that your credit card will be debited later.

01:28:14By the way,

01:28:15don't dry the hotel towels on the balcony railing.

01:28:19If the wind takes one of them,

01:28:21or if it is an evil neighbor,

01:28:23you will be the one to pay the bill.

01:28:25These are just ordinary white towels,

01:28:27but they can be very expensive.

01:28:29Don't be afraid to call the reception to ask for a late check-out.

01:28:33This is probably not a big problem for the hotel,

01:28:36but it could make all the difference for you.

01:28:39The hotels know that you will be more likely to choose them again

01:28:42or to leave a tip

01:28:44if they give you a few extra hours in your room.

01:28:46If they say no,

01:28:47well, at least you tried.

01:28:50One thing you can do to help the staff when you leave

01:28:53is to ventilate your room.

01:28:55This little gesture is one of the things that takes them the most time,

01:28:58and they have to clean the rooms very quickly.

01:29:01Just leave the windows open to cool the room a bit.

01:29:04If it's really hot outside,

01:29:06you can even leave the AC on,

01:29:09but don't do both at the same time.

01:29:12Leave the TV remote control on the desk,

01:29:14the covers on the table,

01:29:16and all the chairs in their place.

01:29:17This saves a lot of time for the cleaning staff,

01:29:20who are already in a hurry.

01:29:22Don't forget that they have to clean hundreds of rooms every day.

01:29:26Accidents can happen anywhere,

01:29:28and it doesn't matter if you drop a glass and it breaks.

01:29:32But don't try to make up for your loss.

01:29:34Call the reception and warn them.

01:29:36They probably won't make you pay for such an insignificant accident.

01:29:40In addition, the management could think that the maintenance staff broke it,

01:29:44and they could make them pay for their replacement.

01:29:47Never refuse an opportunity to participate in your hotel's loyalty program.

01:29:52It's usually free, and you can get it on your first stay.

01:29:56If you travel a lot, try to choose those big hotel chains

01:29:59that give you bonuses every time you book.

01:30:02You could be assigned a suite, get a better view,

01:30:05a free subscription to the gym, or even a free night.

01:30:10Beware of showers that produce a lot of steam.

01:30:12If you accidentally release all this water steam in your room at once,

01:30:16you could trigger the hotel's fire alarm.

01:30:19It's very sensitively regulated,

01:30:22so make sure to keep the door of the cabin closed

01:30:24the next time you go to the sauna.

01:30:27If you travel with a pet,

01:30:29warn the hotel in advance.

01:30:31The policy regarding pets can vary from one establishment to another,

01:30:35and if you have a rather unusual companion,

01:30:38it's better to check twice.

01:30:40It may be a hotel that accepts pets,

01:30:43but you probably won't be able to introduce yourself with your pet.

01:30:46If the reception refuses to let you in,

01:30:48they can usually recommend another hotel nearby.

01:30:52Trying to hide your furry or feathered pet

01:30:55isn't the best idea either.

01:30:57Dogs can be super noisy,

01:30:59so can cats, not to mention dogs.

01:31:02You'll get a big fine if they find out.

01:31:05Reservation rules are a bit different today

01:31:08than they were before.

01:31:10Before, you had to confirm your stay in certain hotels

01:31:13by writing them a letter.

01:31:15Today, you just need to have all your reservation information

01:31:18on your smartphone.

01:31:21This will facilitate the reception staff's work.

01:31:24If it's a big hotel,

01:31:25they can have hundreds of people registering in a few hours.

01:31:29The reception staff is usually very busy

01:31:32managing the clients, deliveries, events,

01:31:35emergencies, a pan that runs in the hall, and so on.

01:31:39So, a little piece of advice.

01:31:41Don't bother them with every little question you might have.

01:31:45Look at the little booklet that is usually placed on the bedside table.

01:31:48The answer is very likely to be there.

01:31:51Enjoy your stay.

01:31:54Why did they one day decide to add heels to shoes?

01:31:58The invention of heels dates back to the 10th century,

01:32:01and the initial goal was to make horse riding more comfortable.

01:32:05Low heels made it easier to fix your feet in the calves

01:32:08and avoid slipping.

01:32:10Several hundred years later, in the 17th century,

01:32:13heeled shoes became a fashion trend in Europe.

01:32:17People wore them to show that they had a horse

01:32:20and thus showed that they were rich.

01:32:23Do you remember the turbo-swingers and their particular shape?

01:32:26This shape was created so that the swinger

01:32:29looked like the track of a race car tire.

01:32:3210, 9, 8, 7,

01:32:35these are not the space engineers who invented the counterfeiter.

01:32:39It was created by the Austrian-German-American director Fritz Lang in 1929.

01:32:45One of his films featured a scene with a counterfeiter.

01:32:49Then, NASA decided to appropriate it.

01:32:52Take a spaghetti spoon, the one with big teeth.

01:32:55Do you see this hole in the middle?

01:32:57Its function is not to taste the pasta.

01:32:59It is used to determine the amount of pasta per person.

01:33:02The amount of dry spaghetti that enters the hole

01:33:05is a standard portion.

01:33:07You will not need to guess the amount of spaghetti to cook for three people.

01:33:11You just need to measure three portions with the help of the spoon.

01:33:16In a supermarket, you pass in front of a shelf with eggs

01:33:19and you try to determine which ones are the best.

01:33:21The whites or the whites?

01:33:23In reality, there is practically no difference between them.

01:33:27The color of the eggs depends on the race of the hen.

01:33:30These hens produce two pigments of different colors.

01:33:34You can take eggs of any color

01:33:36because their nutritional components are almost the same.

01:33:39Well, but that does not answer the question of knowing who came first.

01:33:43The egg white or the egg white?

01:33:45A small amount of toothpaste,

01:33:48the size of a small weight, is enough to brush your teeth.

01:33:51But advertisements mislead you

01:33:53by showing you that you have to cover all the toothbrush brush.

01:33:56It's just a marketing trick so that you buy more often.

01:34:01If planes leave white marks in the blue sky,

01:34:04it is because of the condensation of carbon dioxide,

01:34:07steam and combustion of fuel.

01:34:10In winter, steam comes out of your mouth.

01:34:12It's the same principle for planes.

01:34:15It is always cold at the altitude where planes fly

01:34:18and exhaust gases and hot air come out of the turbines.

01:34:21When they collide with the cold air,

01:34:24they create thick lines of steam.

01:34:27The tops of the chef's chefs indicate their rank in the hierarchy,

01:34:31a bit like the heels.

01:34:32The chef wears the highest top.

01:34:35Thanks to this, it is easy to spot him in a kitchen among the staff.

01:34:39The number of folds on the top

01:34:41indicates the number of ways the chef knows how to cook the eggs.

01:34:44Of course, modern cuisines no longer follow these traditions.

01:34:48But a top is always essential.

01:34:50Thanks to it, not a single hair falls into the food.

01:34:54Doctors wear scarves for the same reason,

01:34:57to prevent hair from falling on a patient's soup during an operation.

01:35:02There are often cameras in stores,

01:35:04banks and hospitals to monitor everything.

01:35:07If something happens, you can call the police

01:35:10and the cameras help you solve a lot of problems.

01:35:13So why aren't there any cameras in planes?

01:35:16The crew keeps order on board,

01:35:18but they can't do anything if something serious happens.

01:35:22In addition, there is nowhere to run in a plane.

01:35:25During the flight, the cameras are useless.

01:35:28And after the flight,

01:35:29the passengers' testimonies work as well as the cameras.

01:35:32Finally, the cameras would induce an additional cost for the companies.

01:35:37Almost all hotels have white sheets.

01:35:39They choose this color specifically

01:35:41to show how high their standards of cleanliness are.

01:35:45The whiter the sheets, the more luxurious the hotel looks.

01:35:49It's much easier to see dirt and stains on white laundry.

01:35:53It's an additional proof that your room has been cleaned.

01:35:57Have you ever wondered why the computer mouse has this name?

01:36:00In 1968, Douglas Engelbart from Stanford Research Institute

01:36:06introduced the computer mouse.

01:36:08But he didn't remember why it was called that.

01:36:11The reason was probably that this little computer mouse

01:36:14actually looks like a mouse with a tail.

01:36:18Gas can form a rainbow in a puddle of water

01:36:20because it can't mix with water.

01:36:22It forms a thin membrane on top,

01:36:25and when the light reflects both on the gas and on the water,

01:36:28you get a rainbow.

01:36:30Magnets are often in the shape of horseshoes

01:36:33because it increases their magnetic force.

01:36:35Colors are also important.

01:36:37The blue part indicates the South Pole,

01:36:40the red part the North Pole.

01:36:42Both poles work simultaneously

01:36:44and increase the attraction force.

01:36:47The sign that says don't disturb the door of your hotel room

01:36:50is not an obligation, it's just a suggestion.

01:36:53Room attendants and staff are allowed to go there

01:36:56if they suspect that something is wrong,

01:36:59especially if you don't remove the sign for 24 hours.

01:37:02Why do the clock hands move to the right?

01:37:06The sun is the main reason.

01:37:08In ancient times, when people invented the solar dial,

01:37:12the shadow of the sun moved to the right in the northern hemisphere

01:37:15and to the left in the southern hemisphere.

01:37:18However, mechanical clocks were invented for the first time

01:37:22in the northern hemisphere, or as we say today,

01:37:25in the direction of the needles of a watch.

01:37:27If the diamonds are cut so symmetrically,

01:37:30it's to show you their brilliance.

01:37:32At first, the precious stones are not so regular.

01:37:35They go through several stages of size

01:37:37and then become ornamental pieces.

01:37:40Most of these pieces have a round shape

01:37:42with slightly pointed corners

01:37:44because it is in this shape that the diamonds shine the most.

01:37:48Why are there two or three holes in a power outlet?

01:37:51The left hole is neutral,

01:37:53the right hole is hot

01:37:55and the possible hole below is the ground.

01:37:58Electricity must flow in a loop.

01:38:00The current comes out of the hot hole,

01:38:02goes through the charger of your phone, for example,

01:38:05then comes in through the neutral hole.

01:38:07Have you ever wondered what the small pocket of your jean was for?

01:38:11In the past, people wore watches with a button

01:38:13and this small pocket was designed for this purpose.

01:38:17Today, no one wears such a watch anymore,

01:38:19but the pocket is still there.

01:38:21You can keep a small object there, like an alliance, for example.

01:38:25The socket stick has two holes for a good reason.

01:38:28When you put the stick in hot syrup,

01:38:30the liquid flows through these holes.

01:38:32This helps to keep the socket firmly on the stick,

01:38:34when it is completely solidified.

01:38:37The cap of the pen also has two holes.

01:38:40They were created to prevent you from suffocating

01:38:42if you accidentally swallow the cap.

01:38:45It's reassuring, but it still avoids chewing the cap.

01:38:49Why did people start wearing ties?

01:38:52This goes back to 17th century Europe,

01:38:54where the tie was originally used to tighten the collar of the shirt,

01:38:58which protected the soldiers from the cold wind

01:39:00blowing on their neck.

01:39:02But King Louis XVIII loved this clothing element so much

01:39:06that he made it an essential accessory for royal gatherings.

01:39:10Why are Chinese ties tied together?

01:39:13If they are disposable, they must be connected by a small piece of wood

01:39:17to prove that no one has used them before you.

01:39:22The small pieces of fabric stored in new clothes

01:39:24are not repair patches.

01:39:26These are test samples for washing machines.

01:39:30You can put this piece of fabric in your washing machine

01:39:32and see what happens to it.

01:39:34If everything goes well, you can wash the clothes safely.

01:39:38Why are party cups often red?

01:39:41Because it helps you quickly find your drink on the table

01:39:44among the aperitif cakes and bottles.

01:39:47If there are many others, you can write your name on them.

01:39:50In addition, red is considered a color that provokes action.

01:39:55Psychologically, it's like if your cup said to you,

01:39:58drink me!

01:39:59It is believed that yellow taxis originated in Italy in the 15th century.

01:40:04A postman used yellow tiles to distribute the mail

01:40:08so that everyone recognized them.

01:40:11The types of dough have different shapes

01:40:13because each shape is suitable for a particular sauce.

01:40:16For example, thin and smooth doughs are perfect for sauces

01:40:20and light ingredients,

01:40:22while thick and wrinkled doughs, like penne,

01:40:25are ideal for thicker sauces and vegetable stews.

01:40:29Why are lab coats white, blue or green?

01:40:33Before, the medical staff only wore white clothes

01:40:36because this color was considered a symbol of cleanliness and sterility.

01:40:41Then, at the beginning of the 20th century,

01:40:43they started using green

01:40:45because this color is more resistant to the doctor's eye.

01:40:48When a surgeon sees red for a long time during the operation,

01:40:52his eyes reduce their sensitivity to this color.

01:40:55The shades of red mix

01:40:57and doctors can no longer clearly see the nuances of the human body.

01:41:01Conversely, blue or green areas help to refresh their vision.

01:41:05The eyes rest for a second

01:41:08and then return to the red color again.

01:41:10If a doctor looks at a white mouth during the operation,

01:41:14small green spots may appear in his eyes.

01:41:17You can check for yourself.

01:41:19Look at something red for a few minutes

01:41:22then turn your gaze to a sheet of white paper.

01:41:24You will see these spots of a greenish hue.

01:41:27Doctors therefore wear blue blouses

01:41:29so as not to be distracted.

01:41:30However, different hospitals may have different rules.

01:41:34Blouses can be of different colors according to the hierarchy.

01:41:38This is necessary to distinguish a doctor from a nurse or an intern.

01:41:42In any case, patients must always wear this blouse

01:41:45open on the back.

01:41:53Airports

01:42:00Many airports have carpets in their boarding areas.

01:42:03This small element of comfort is usually accompanied by a few others.

01:42:07Lower ceilings, comfortable seats and pleasant natural lighting.

01:42:12All this costs more at airports

01:42:14and carpets are not as easy to clean as hard floors.

01:42:17But it creates a pleasant sensation for passengers waiting for their flight,

01:42:21which makes them more relaxed.

01:42:23However, it is not just a gesture of goodwill from airports.

01:42:27According to behavioral research,

01:42:29calm passengers are 7 to 10% more likely

01:42:33to do shopping and actually buy something in the duty-free zone.

01:42:37So by investing in the passengers' comfort,

01:42:40airports actually increase their income.

01:42:42If you have always wanted to know what happens to your luggage

01:42:45when you are on board the plane,

01:42:47the short answer is that the airport staff

01:42:49does not know it once he has left his territory

01:42:52and that he probably does not care.

01:42:54Sorry to tell you,

01:42:55scanners read the barcode and sort the luggage automatically

01:42:59according to their destination.

01:43:01The three main tasks of airport luggage carriers

01:43:04are to move the bags from the registration area to the boarding door,

01:43:07to move them from one door to the other when you have a correspondence

01:43:11and to move them from the plane to the luggage recovery area.

01:43:15And that's all.

01:43:16So if your luggage does not move fast enough,

01:43:18they may be late for your correspondence flight.

01:43:21Or vice versa,

01:43:22your luggage can arrive at your destination before you

01:43:25because you are stuck in passport control.

01:43:27Another problem can arise

01:43:29if you forget to remove an old label indicating a different destination.

01:43:33In this case, the scanner could send your luggage to the wrong country.

01:43:37Most airports are equipped with giant kitchens

01:43:40where meals are made for passengers.

01:43:43These kitchens generally prepare food

01:43:45for different airlines at the same time.

01:43:48And since this delicious plane food must be cooked

01:43:51about 6 to 10 hours in advance,

01:43:53the kitchens work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

01:43:57And as surprising as it may seem,

01:43:59the menu of your flight is prepared up to a year in advance.

01:44:02This is a common practice for most airlines

01:44:05because each ingredient counts and increases expenses.

01:44:08By the way, it's interesting,

01:44:10an airline managed to save $40,000

01:44:14after removing a single olive from each salad they served on these flights.

01:44:18Airport staff sometimes ask passengers

01:44:21to rub their hands on a piece of fabric

01:44:23before putting it in a special machine.

01:44:25It may seem weird, but it's totally harmless.

01:44:28It's simply a routine check

01:44:31performed by a machine called an atomizer

01:44:33before their working day begins.

01:44:36Employees put samples of dangerous chemical products in the machine.

01:44:40The machine memorizes its odors

01:44:42and in case a person's hands excite these chemical products,

01:44:45it alerts the airport staff.

01:44:47You have certainly already experienced what follows.

01:44:49You arrive at the security control and suddenly,

01:44:52it turns out that you have something forbidden in your hand luggage.

01:44:55But don't worry,

01:44:56all objects seized during the inspection before the flight

01:44:59can be kept at the airport for up to 3 months.

01:45:01In addition to that, you have the possibility

01:45:04to have them sent to you by mail to any address.

01:45:07Objects seized by the security and which have not been claimed

01:45:11can also be sold during special auction sales

01:45:14and are shipped all over the world.

01:45:16If you have a long stopover between two flights,

01:45:18going to the closest hotel to rest

01:45:20may not be the cheapest option.

01:45:22There is a much better trick.

01:45:24Check if the airport or airline

01:45:27sells access 24 hours a day to the VIP lounge.

01:45:30In most cases,

01:45:31you can find free snacks and drinks

01:45:34and use free shower and lounge cabins

01:45:37at a very affordable price.

01:45:39In airports with several terminals,

01:45:41look for underground passages connecting the terminals

01:45:44that most people may not know.

01:45:46For example, at Frankfurt airport in Germany,

01:45:49there is a pedestrian tunnel between terminal 1 and terminal 2

01:45:53which is mainly used by employees

01:45:55because passengers are simply not aware of its existence.

01:45:59There is a term for the 60 minutes

01:46:01that follow the end of the registration,

01:46:03the golden hour.

01:46:04This is the moment when, statistically,

01:46:06passengers spend the most money

01:46:08in stores and out-of-town areas of the airport.

01:46:11And the fact of placing the most comfortable seats

01:46:13in these areas right in front of the stores

01:46:16is another trick to attract you to go shopping.

01:46:19Let's admit it,

01:46:20sitting in a comfortable armchair

01:46:21while looking at a stage or a showcase

01:46:24can be tempting.

01:46:24And that's exactly what airports want you to feel.

01:46:28If your flight is overbooked

01:46:29and you can't take the plane on time,

01:46:31don't rush to accept the first gift

01:46:34they offer you as compensation.

01:46:36Normally, airline companies

01:46:38have to go on strike

01:46:39until they have enough volunteers

01:46:41to give up their seats.

01:46:42And if they don't

01:46:44and you were refused involuntarily,

01:46:46you can insist on getting

01:46:47a compensation in kind instead.

01:46:50Depending on the price of your ticket

01:46:51and the time of your delay,

01:46:53you could have a fine of up to 1,300 euros.

01:46:56Most airports hire experts called profilers.

01:47:00These people practice what is called

01:47:02the spot,

01:47:03or passenger inspection technique.

01:47:05By observation,

01:47:06they carefully analyze facial expressions,

01:47:09gestures,

01:47:10and behavior

01:47:11in order to detect suspicious people.

01:47:13Their job is to notice

01:47:14signs and long verbs of anxiety,

01:47:16such as people biting their lips,

01:47:18eating up,

01:47:19or looking around them a lot.

01:47:20If a profiler notices

01:47:22that a person is behaving in a strange way,

01:47:24he can invite him to a more in-depth inspection

01:47:26during which he will question him

01:47:28to try to find out more about him.

01:47:30Profilers work both in the main halls

01:47:32and in passport control.

01:47:34The typical question they ask is,

01:47:36what is the purpose of your visit?

01:47:37They then check the reaction

01:47:39of the person to this question.

01:47:40No matter how reserved a passenger is,

01:47:43if he has something to hide,

01:47:44the agents will discover it

01:47:45thanks to the smallest clues in his attitude.

01:47:48Even before your luggage gets on the plane,

01:47:50they go through five levels of security.

01:47:53And one of them,

01:47:54in addition to scanning the content,

01:47:55understands a control by a dog

01:47:57capable of sniffing dangerous chemical products.

01:48:00It's well known,

01:48:00the nose of a dog is much more powerful

01:48:02than that of any human.

01:48:04In fact, dogs distinguish smells

01:48:06from 10,000 to 100,000 times better than people.

01:48:08No wonder airports

01:48:10take advantage of this super sense for safety

01:48:12and regularly use these sniffing dogs

01:48:15to detect suspicious substances.

01:48:17In addition, you will not even be able to distinguish

01:48:19a detection dog from a normal dog.

01:48:21Unlike police dogs,

01:48:23those who work in airports

01:48:24are not trained to frighten or intimidate people.

01:48:27The most popular sniffing breeds

01:48:29are the Goldel Retriever,

01:48:31the Labrador and the German Brach.

01:48:32Charging your phone to a specially designated place

01:48:35may seem practical,

01:48:36but it is not necessarily safe.

01:48:38If the charging station only allows you

01:48:40to plug your cord into USB,

01:48:42you risk having a malicious software

01:48:44installed on your phone

01:48:45without you noticing it.

01:48:47The only safe way

01:48:48to charge your phone or tablet

01:48:50is to find a wall outlet

01:48:52and use it with your own charger.

01:48:54The same goes for free WiFi at airports.

01:48:57Apart from the fact that airports

01:48:58often ask you to authenticate,

01:49:01someone can easily access your data

01:49:03when you use a non-protected WiFi hotspot.

01:49:06It is safer to use your mobile data,

01:49:08but if you absolutely have to use

01:49:10the airport's WiFi,

01:49:11erase or encrypt

01:49:12all important information on your device.

01:49:15It can be exhausting

01:49:16to have to take out your laptop

01:49:18from your suitcase each time

01:49:19for security checks.

01:49:21But the airport staff

01:49:22need to see your device

01:49:24to make sure nothing is hidden inside.

01:49:26On the screen of a X-ray scanner,

01:49:28a laptop looks like a semi-transparent object

01:49:31with a hard drive,

01:49:32a CD player

01:49:33and other clearly visible components.

01:49:35But security staff

01:49:36can't see what's behind

01:49:38some of these pieces.

01:49:39For example,

01:49:40a dense and rather bulky battery.

01:49:42People tend to choose

01:49:43the closest security line to them.

01:49:45If this line turns out to be crowded,

01:49:47just look around you

01:49:49after checking your identity cards

01:49:50and tickets.

01:49:51You may see another checkpoint

01:49:53with far fewer people.

01:49:54Some checkpoints at the airport

01:49:56are located

01:49:57on the outskirts of the terminal

01:49:58and passengers don't notice them.

01:50:00Making a security pre-check request

01:50:03can save you a lot of time

01:50:04traveling inside and outside the United States.

01:50:07Being a member of this program

01:50:08has many advantages.

01:50:10First of all,

01:50:10security check-in

01:50:12and passport control

01:50:13is faster.

01:50:14If you choose pre-check,

01:50:16you won't have to take off your shoes,

01:50:17remove your seatbelt

01:50:18or place objects

01:50:19like liquids

01:50:20and your laptop

01:50:22in special bins.

01:50:23If you don't take the plane

01:50:24from or to the United States,

01:50:26you can look for similar services

01:50:28available in your country.

01:50:30If you travel in economy class

01:50:31but you don't like it...

01:50:32By the way, who likes it?

01:50:33Register online

01:50:35and check your seat options

01:50:36about four days before your flight.

01:50:38That's about when

01:50:40airlines

01:50:41start overriding seats

01:50:43and you could get

01:50:44an overriding in business class

01:50:45for a modest sum

01:50:46or sometimes even for free.

01:50:48You can also request an overriding

01:50:50when you're already at the airport.

01:50:52Most people forget this possibility

01:50:55or just make fun of it.

01:50:56So, try your luck!

01:50:59They watch you

01:51:00when you're in the bedroom

01:51:01and when you're in the bathroom.

01:51:03No, I'm not talking about

01:51:04your three-year-old kids.

01:51:06One of the last things

01:51:07you'd think of

01:51:08when you go on holiday

01:51:10is to think that the room

01:51:11you're staying in

01:51:12is equipped with hidden cameras.

01:51:14Right?

01:51:15And yet...

01:51:16To begin with,

01:51:18check the most obvious places

01:51:19in your hotel room

01:51:21to see if you can find

01:51:22hidden cameras.

01:51:23According to some experts,

01:51:25if you can't find anything obvious,

01:51:27using your smartphone

01:51:29is enough to carry out

01:51:30a basic search.

01:51:31All cameras have a lens

01:51:33and all lenses reflect light.

01:51:36So, a quick way

01:51:38to check for hidden cameras

01:51:40is to close all the curtains

01:51:42and turn off the lights.

01:51:44Then,

01:51:44use the flashlight on your phone

01:51:46and direct it to places

01:51:48with potential objects

01:51:49where a hidden camera could be.

01:51:51One of the most obvious places

01:51:53is the smoke detector on the ceiling.

01:51:55Take a chair,

01:51:56point the flashlight straight at it

01:51:57and try to see

01:51:58if a red or blue light is reflected.

01:52:00You'll have to do it slowly

01:52:01because the light has to hit the lens

01:52:03at the right angle

01:52:04so that you can see a reflection.

01:52:06Once you've finished,

01:52:08move on to other objects,

01:52:09like the bathroom shower head

01:52:11or a phone charger alarm.

01:52:13Remember the position of these objects.

01:52:16If the charger is placed there

01:52:17where a surveillance camera could be,

01:52:20then inspect it

01:52:21and call the reception.

01:52:22Even a painting in the room

01:52:24could be a potential spot

01:52:25for a hidden camera.

01:52:26Other objects can also be lamps,

01:52:28a hole in the wall

01:52:29or a corner of the closet.

01:52:31Another scary place

01:52:32is the mirror in the bathroom.

01:52:34As it's hard to spot,

01:52:36you have to be patient to look for it.

01:52:38You can also use the camera on your phone

01:52:41to spot surveillance cameras

01:52:42that spy on you at night.

01:52:44These secret cameras

01:52:45emit infrared lights

01:52:47that the human eye cannot see,

01:52:48which allows them to function at night.

01:52:51To do this,

01:52:51you will also have to turn off the lights

01:52:53and put the camera in selfie mode.

01:52:55The rear camera of most smartphones

01:52:57is equipped with an infrared filter,

01:52:59but not the front one.

01:53:01You can try to point a TV remote

01:53:03at the front camera

01:53:04and press one of the buttons

01:53:06to see it for yourself.

01:53:07If a bright red light appears on your screen,

01:53:10it means it's working.

01:53:12All you have to do is move your camera

01:53:14in the dark

01:53:15to see if you can find a bright light around.

01:53:18It will be good to do a second sweep

01:53:20to make sure you didn't miss anything.

01:53:22Another technique you can use

01:53:24is to turn off the Wi-Fi

01:53:25when you enter the hotel room.

01:53:27Most cameras are connected to Wi-Fi,

01:53:30so they won't work anymore.

01:53:32If the receptionist calls you

01:53:33to tell you that the Wi-Fi is disabled in the room,

01:53:35it could be a sign of an alarm.

01:53:37There is no reason for them to know

01:53:39if the Wi-Fi has been turned off on purpose.

01:53:41This could mean

01:53:42that the cameras are on the local Wi-Fi.

01:53:44When you connect for the first time

01:53:46to the Wi-Fi in your hotel room,

01:53:48be careful not to share your personal data.

01:53:51Most networks will ask you

01:53:52for your connection identifiers,

01:53:54such as your email address.

01:53:56Some people can create a Wi-Fi connection page

01:53:58identical to that of the hotel,

01:54:00which can be misleading.

01:54:01You can connect to a Wi-Fi router,

01:54:03but an email is enough

01:54:04for some people to know everything about you.

01:54:07One of the best things you can do

01:54:09is to download an application

01:54:10that shows you which devices

01:54:11are currently connected to the Wi-Fi you use.

01:54:14It can show which smartphone,

01:54:16laptop,

01:54:17smart TV

01:54:18and, in the worst case,

01:54:20which hidden cameras are connected.

01:54:22A radio-frequency scanner

01:54:23can detect a wireless camera in the room,

01:54:26even if it is connected to its own Wi-Fi.

01:54:28However, this can be difficult

01:54:30due to the many wireless devices

01:54:32that encompass the waves.

01:54:33Indeed,

01:54:34it is possible to detect random signals

01:54:37even if you turn off all the devices

01:54:38and all the wireless signals emitters.

01:54:40Intrusion in your private life

01:54:42can go as far as listening to your mobile phone

01:54:44or your fixed line

01:54:46to intercept your conversations.

01:54:48One way to listen to people's conversations

01:54:50is to install a microphone on a line

01:54:52that sends the wireless sound

01:54:54to a recorder from a remote transmitter.

01:54:56Almost everyone can get their hands on such equipment

01:54:59because it is not too expensive

01:55:00and is available in many online stores.

01:55:03If you notice strange sounds

01:55:05when you speak on the phone,

01:55:06such as clicks,

01:55:07distant voices

01:55:08or a sound similar to that of an old disc,

01:55:10there is a good chance

01:55:11that someone is listening to your phone calls.

01:55:14These sounds are not typical

01:55:15of an ordinary modern mobile phone.

01:55:18Most listening software

01:55:19works in the background of your phone

01:55:21without you knowing it,

01:55:23which empties the battery.

01:55:24There can be many explanations

01:55:26to the fact that the battery of your phone

01:55:28never stops emptying.

01:55:29But a software installed on your phone,

01:55:31viruses and malicious software,

01:55:33are probably the cause.

01:55:35You can also be attentive

01:55:36to unusual activities on your phone

01:55:38when you are not using it.

01:55:40If notifications keep appearing

01:55:42while you have turned them off,

01:55:44your phone may be overheard.

01:55:46In this case,

01:55:47scammers not only have access

01:55:48to your phone calls,

01:55:49but also to your phone itself.

01:55:52They can spot all the photos,

01:55:53videos, files and information

01:55:55you have without you knowing it.

01:55:57If you try to turn off your phone

01:55:59and it takes a lot longer than usual,

01:56:01it can be another sign

01:56:03that someone has hacked your phone.

01:56:05For it to turn off completely,

01:56:07it must disconnect correctly

01:56:09from all tasks and activities.

01:56:11If your phone is transferring data

01:56:13to someone remotely,

01:56:14this may be the reason

01:56:15for this delay in disconnection.

01:56:17One of the main alarm signals

01:56:18is the reception of text

01:56:20concerning symbols

01:56:21and random numbers.

01:56:23People who put your phone on listen

01:56:25use illegal software

01:56:27that sometimes forces them

01:56:28to receive secret codes.

01:56:29Don't forget to check

01:56:30that you are not subscribed to these messages.

01:56:32Otherwise, contact someone

01:56:33who can help you.

01:56:35If you scroll through your applications

01:56:36and you notice something

01:56:38that seems shady

01:56:39or that shouldn't be there,

01:56:40the application could be a disguise

01:56:42for a spying software.

01:56:44Also check the weird history

01:56:46of your browsers

01:56:46for things you didn't look for.

01:56:48You may notice that your phone turns on

01:56:50and off randomly

01:56:52without you touching it.

01:56:54And the worst,

01:56:54is that they can turn on

01:56:55the camera of your phone

01:56:57when they want

01:56:58and without you knowing it.

01:56:59If you feel like your phone

01:57:01has been hacked,

01:57:02you must re-initialize everything.

01:57:04This erases all data,

01:57:05including files,

01:57:06settings and applications.

01:57:08The same risks apply

01:57:10to your laptop.

01:57:11From time to time,

01:57:12we all click on something

01:57:13that seems normal,

01:57:14but is actually

01:57:16an access point

01:57:16allowing a spy software

01:57:18to enter our computer.

01:57:20A discharged battery,

01:57:21overheating

01:57:22and a weird activity

01:57:24are revealing signs

01:57:25of the infection of your PC.

01:57:27GPS tracers

01:57:28are the most common ways

01:57:29to track a person's vehicle.

01:57:31It is quite simple

01:57:32to install these spies,

01:57:33but it is very difficult to find them

01:57:35because they are generally

01:57:36placed in the depths of the car.

01:57:38If you ever have the scary feeling

01:57:40that someone could be watching you

01:57:41while you are driving,

01:57:42or if by coincidence

01:57:44you see the same person

01:57:45everywhere you go by car,

01:57:47then start looking for this tracer.

01:57:49The most common places

01:57:50are under the car

01:57:51or near the rear wheels.

01:57:52But the person following your vehicle

01:57:54is smart

01:57:55and knows what she's doing.

01:57:56She won't let you find her

01:57:58so easily.

01:57:59If you can't find anything

01:58:00outside your vehicle,

01:58:01then try to look inside.

01:58:03If you find something there,

01:58:05it's an obvious sign

01:58:06that the person tracking you

01:58:07has entered your car

01:58:09and placed the tracking device there,

01:58:11or worse,

01:58:12that it's someone you know

01:58:13who took a ride with you

01:58:14and slipped without you knowing.

01:58:17Check behind the dashboard

01:58:18and in the car's electronic devices

01:58:20to be sure.

01:58:21Instead of disassembling your car

01:58:23to find the tracer,

01:58:24you can buy a micro-GPS detector.

01:58:27It works by finding

01:58:28electronic frequencies

01:58:29near the vehicle.

01:58:31They won't stop you from following,

01:58:32but they will help you find it.

01:58:34Before using it,

01:58:35turn off your smartphone

01:58:36or put it in airplane mode.

01:58:38This way,

01:58:39the frequencies won't be intercepted

01:58:41by the tracking device.

01:58:42And if you feel like

01:58:43it's not working,

01:58:45try parking your car

01:58:46in an isolated place

01:58:47where nothing is seen.

01:58:49Even a garage far away

01:58:50would do the trick.

01:58:51OK, great.

01:58:52Someone else

01:58:53feels a little paranoid here.

01:58:55Let's see who's going to raise their hand.

01:58:58It's your first trip to Egypt

01:59:00and your new friends

01:59:01invited you to lunch.

01:59:03The food seems a little bland to you,

01:59:05so you decide to make it a little better

01:59:07with salt and pepper.

01:59:09Since there isn't any on the table,

01:59:11you ask the waiter

01:59:12and you notice

01:59:13that everyone is scandalized.

01:59:15It turns out that it's a big insult

01:59:17for the chef

01:59:18when someone wants to change

01:59:20the original taste of the dish

01:59:21that's on his plate.

01:59:23The chef does it for a good reason

01:59:26and wanting to change it

01:59:27means that the dish

01:59:29wasn't good enough.

01:59:31In Japan,

01:59:32waiters,

01:59:32taxi drivers

01:59:33and hotel employees

01:59:35don't get a tip,

01:59:37whereas in the rest of the world,

01:59:38we're used to doing it out of kindness.

01:59:41They may feel offended

01:59:42because they are already paid

01:59:44to provide a perfect service

01:59:45and that it's not necessary

01:59:47to add money to improve it.

01:59:49If you really want to show your appreciation,

01:59:51just say thank you.

01:59:54However, you can give a tip

01:59:55to the private guide,

01:59:56the tour company

01:59:58and the performers.

01:59:59The amount that seems appropriate

02:00:00can be put in an envelope

02:00:02and given to the performer.

02:00:05If you want to impress your new friends

02:00:07or Japanese colleagues,

02:00:08you have to take the time

02:00:09to study the protocol

02:00:10that governs the use of chopsticks.

02:00:12As soon as you have mastered

02:00:14the art of holding them,

02:00:15don't forget not to rub them

02:00:16against each other.

02:00:18People do it to get rid of scabs,

02:00:20but it can give the impression

02:00:22that you are not satisfied

02:00:23with the quality of the chopsticks

02:00:24that your host has provided.

02:00:26Don't place them vertically

02:00:28in your rice bowl

02:00:29because it could be perceived

02:00:30as an offering to the deceased.

02:00:32Don't shake your chopsticks in the air

02:00:34and don't use them to point with your finger

02:00:36because these two gestures

02:00:38are considered extremely coarse.

02:00:41Also, it is forbidden to move objects

02:00:43with it or the hand that holds them.

02:00:45It is a lack of respect

02:00:47and you risk to spill things.

02:00:50In Italy,

02:00:51don't order cappuccino

02:00:53after lunch.

02:00:54The locals don't do it

02:00:56because they think that milk and mousse

02:00:58make this drink a real meal,

02:01:00which is not good for digestion.

02:01:02Moreover,

02:01:03you have to taste your coffee

02:01:04standing at the bar

02:01:05and pay for it

02:01:06even before ordering it.

02:01:08First, you have to pay at the cashier,

02:01:09then show the receipt to the waiter

02:01:11to get your drink.

02:01:14SwingGum fans,

02:01:15in Singapore,

02:01:16it won't be easy for you.

02:01:18The use,

02:01:19sale and import of SwingGum

02:01:21are forbidden there

02:01:22and you should pay

02:01:23up to several thousand dollars

02:01:25to have manipulated SwingGum.

02:01:28This law was introduced in the 1990s

02:01:32to make the city cleaner

02:01:33and make local fast trains

02:01:36arrive on time.

02:01:37At the time of the launch

02:01:38of a new public transport system,

02:01:40passengers stuck SwingGum

02:01:42on the train doors sensors,

02:01:44which led to serious delays.

02:01:46The new rules

02:01:47allowed to solve this problem.

02:01:49The policy,

02:01:50no SwingGum,

02:01:51as well as many other strict rules,

02:01:53have helped to make Singapore

02:01:55a really clean and pleasant city.

02:01:58If you can't imagine your life

02:02:00without chewing,

02:02:01local authorities recommend

02:02:03to replace SwingGum

02:02:04with bananas.

02:02:07In Bolivia,

02:02:08when someone asks you

02:02:09to give him something,

02:02:10like salt,

02:02:11at the table,

02:02:12don't give it directly.

02:02:14Give it to the person

02:02:15sitting next to you

02:02:16and she will pass it.

02:02:17If the person next to you

02:02:18makes this request,

02:02:20you still can't give it directly.

02:02:22A table neighbor

02:02:23will have to help you.

02:02:24This custom

02:02:25comes from a superstition

02:02:26according to which

02:02:27giving something to someone

02:02:29directly in his hands

02:02:30brings misfortune.

02:02:31For the same reasons,

02:02:33it is forbidden to reach

02:02:34through the table

02:02:35or to stand up

02:02:36to pass or throw

02:02:37something to someone.

02:02:39And don't forget

02:02:40to keep both hands on the table

02:02:41when you are not eating.

02:02:43You might think

02:02:44you are trying to hide something

02:02:45if they are not visible

02:02:47at all times.

02:02:49When you arrive

02:02:50for a dinner in Jordan,

02:02:51your hosts

02:02:52can offer you a bitter Arab coffee

02:02:54as a welcome drink.

02:02:56Don't try to keep it

02:02:57for the end of the meal.

02:02:58The polite host

02:02:59wants you to drink it quickly.

02:03:00It is only when

02:03:01everyone has finished

02:03:02that people will start

02:03:03socializing.

02:03:05When you pass the empty cup

02:03:06to your hosts,

02:03:07don't forget to shake your wrist.

02:03:09If you don't do it,

02:03:10it means you are asking

02:03:12to be served.

02:03:14Don't rush

02:03:15to arrive on time

02:03:16for an event in Venezuela.

02:03:18People might think

02:03:19you are impolite or hungry.

02:03:21The polite host

02:03:22wants you to arrive

02:03:2310 to 15 minutes late.

02:03:25Events scheduled for 7 p.m.

02:03:27often start at 8 p.m. or later.

02:03:30A popular story

02:03:31tells that in the 1980s,

02:03:33a foreign journalist

02:03:34arrived at a press conference

02:03:36more than an hour late.

02:03:38When he noticed

02:03:39that the room was almost empty,

02:03:41he went to apologize

02:03:42to the host

02:03:43for missing the event.

02:03:45The host then told him

02:03:46that he was the first journalist

02:03:47to arrive.

02:03:48It is quite surprising

02:03:50because the clocks in this country

02:03:51are officially 0.9 seconds ahead

02:03:55of the rest of the world

02:03:56for years.

02:03:58Are you planning to travel by bus

02:04:00to Ireland soon?

02:04:01Don't forget to thank the driver

02:04:03when you get off the bus.

02:04:04You will notice

02:04:05that the vast majority of the inhabitants

02:04:07do it politely

02:04:08because it is a local rule.

02:04:11Choose your gift well

02:04:12if you are invited

02:04:13to a house in Vietnam.

02:04:15It is possible to bring fruits,

02:04:17sweets or incense.

02:04:19The handkerchiefs are considered

02:04:20as the symbol of a sad goodbye

02:04:22and the knives

02:04:23are the sign of interrupted relationships.

02:04:25So never bring them.

02:04:27Wrap your gift in colored paper

02:04:29and always avoid black.

02:04:31The inhabitants of the region

02:04:32believe that this color

02:04:33is a bad omen.

02:04:34When you present your gift,

02:04:36hold it in both hands.

02:04:38Don't be surprised

02:04:38that your hosts don't open it right away.

02:04:40The opening is made

02:04:42after the donor leaves.

02:04:44In India,

02:04:45don't leave anything on your plate.

02:04:47It is a sign of disrespect

02:04:48for the food that was served to you.

02:04:50Food is considered sacred

02:04:53in this country,

02:04:54which would contradict your hosts a lot.

02:04:56So wash and dry your hands

02:04:58before starting the meal.

02:04:59Don't forget to congratulate the cook

02:05:01and wait for the oldest to get up

02:05:03before leaving the table.

02:05:05In southern India,

02:05:06it is common to serve food

02:05:07on a banana leaf.

02:05:09You have to fold it from the top

02:05:10when you have finished the meal.

02:05:12Folding it from the bottom

02:05:14means that you are not satisfied

02:05:15with what you have received.

02:05:17In Denmark,

02:05:18it is not a question of bragging

02:05:20about your achievements.

02:05:21The Danes consider

02:05:22that everyone is equal

02:05:23and no one will talk about

02:05:25their professional success,

02:05:26their talents

02:05:27or any superiority.

02:05:29They expect the same from you.

02:05:31If you are looking for a good topic of conversation,

02:05:34the size of their country

02:05:35is a good option for the Danes.

02:05:37They are really proud of their land

02:05:39and all the wonders it has.

02:05:42If you are going on a trip to Germany

02:05:44and you intend to borrow

02:05:45the famous autobahn,

02:05:47don't forget to fill it

02:05:48before taking the road.

02:05:50It is forbidden to stop,

02:05:52to make a U-turn

02:05:54and to go back on this ultra-fast highway.

02:05:57Yes, even if you have to stop

02:05:59because you don't have gas anymore,

02:06:00you will have to pay a fine

02:06:02because you were supposed to plan things better.

02:06:04And although the autobahn

02:06:06is technically not a speed limit,

02:06:08be careful if you pass through urban areas

02:06:10like Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich

02:06:13or by construction work

02:06:15and dense traffic.

02:06:16Special instructions on speed

02:06:19will be given at these places.

02:06:22If you plan to discover Cyprus by car,

02:06:24get out of the way before starting the vehicle.

02:06:27It is forbidden to drink anything,

02:06:29including water,

02:06:30while driving on the island.

02:06:32If you can't resist the urge to grin

02:06:34or drink while driving,

02:06:36get ready to pay a fine.

02:06:39In Ethiopia, you have to think twice

02:06:41before choosing a gift for someone.

02:06:43They consider this as a debt

02:06:45that they will have to repay later.

02:06:47So, if you bring something very expensive,

02:06:50the recipient will either have to spend a lot of money

02:06:53for a return gift

02:06:54or feel indebted to you.
