Transcription

In this city is one of the most disgusting tourist attractions in the world, the famous chewed gum alley. We also have the world's first Starbucks and a market where if you buy a fish, the seller will throw it at you. This improvised adventure, I think, has turned out very cool. We find ourselves in the very north of the United States in the fascinating city of Seattle, a city that has given birth to many of today's leading companies, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Costco, Boeing. You know, not the juices, not the little Boeing juices, but Boeing, the airplanes. This is where it all began. This is my first time in Seattle and honestly, I'm liking it a lot. It's very beautiful. The streets are very New York-ish. Yes, it's very lively. There's a bit of everything. And well, in this video, we're basically going to do a tour. I'm actually here on a work trip. I've told you that I'm currently working with Amazon. So, they invited me here to see all the office stuff, meet people, and so on, but in our free time, we're going to take the opportunity to go out for a walk, explore, and hopefully record something that you find very interesting. Other places related to music. Let's see what comes out of this situation. So, come on, accompany me. The beautiful city of Seattle awaits us. Normally I would say, "Let's do it," but we're in the United States. So I'll say, "Let's go." One of the most internationally known companies that started in the city of Seattle is Starbucks. You know, this very famous coffee shop, truly, worldwide. And it started just over 50 years ago right here, more than half a century ago, how time flies. But curiously, this store that boasts of being the first Starbucks in the world and that tourists from all over the world come to visit, is not the first Starbucks in the world. What? Yes, that's right. It's an interesting fact. Actually, they supposedly moved it about four or five years after the original opening, which was in another little place around here. And well, that was the store that led them little by little to grow. As we can see, the original logo was not green as it is today, but brown. The siren was different, her whole body was visible, right? Holding her two tails. And the name Starbucks, that's interesting, comes from the classic American novel Moby Dick, from the character Starbuck. They wanted to symbolize the grandeur of the sea, like mermaids, like, I don't know, I'd have to ask my buddies who are surely no longer alive. It was founded by some buddies who were actually professors, they didn't know much about coffee, and in the beginning, they didn't sell prepared coffee as such, but only coffee beans. It was more like a gourmet store than a coffee shop, per se. Little by little, they grew, they managed to expand to maybe about 10 stores here in Seattle, and in the late 80s, a guy came along, saw the future in it, and bought the company. Wow, he bought it, he told them, "Retire, my professors, you've done your good deed, that's it." And it was he who turned it into a coffee shop with more potential, he saw more future in it, opened stores outside of Seattle, and from there, well, the rest is history. Let's get in line and taste a Starbucks from the first Starbucks, not really the world's first. Okay, well, let's see, we've entered. Let's see what special things they have. They sell a bear. Okay, a barista. They sell mugs. So, I'll have one of these ones, please. Yeah. And I'll also take a barista, please. One big, one small. One big one and one small one. No way. Thank you very much. Luisito. How many people a day come here? Oh my god, like thousands or no way, really. Oh damn. Thank you so much, Ana. Okay, well, let's see. I bought two bears, one big and one small, some coffee beans as a souvenir, and a coffee that they said was the only one from here, and it cost $80, dude. Wow, $80, 79.79. Well, Starbucks itself costs that much, right? And I'm taking bears and stuff. Uh-huh. But well, the place is a tiny store, it has boxes that look like they're from the first store, you know. I don't know if they're original boxes or what. And the furniture itself feels old, vintage. Yes, it's cool, honestly. It doesn't feel like a Starbucks at all, I mean, it's not green, it's all brown. Which, honestly, gives it charm. I like it. It feels authentic. It feels cool. It's cool, honestly. I met Diana here. How are you, Diana? Hello. Hello. Very well, Lucio. Are you from? From Mexico or where are you from? From Mexico City. She was telling me that she works at Microsoft because, well, Microsoft is also a big deal here, I mean, a big deal, the headquarters, Bill Gates was born here. That's good. Well, she must be an intelligent girl. Ah, of course, of course. And what's up? Tell me. You were telling me a fact, right? About the Starbucks sign? Yes. The first time I came here, they told me that first, this is not like Starbucks. First, first, it was a cart that is over there across the street, and that sign is from the original cart, and this is the two-tailed siren. It's like the original logo from here. Okay, well, enjoy your coffee, Diana. An honor to greet you. An honor. Honor. There. For Luisito. Ah, that's mine. Thank you, Eddie. Thank you so much. Well, cheers, cheers. Our coffee from the first Starbucks in the world. Ah, yes, it's good. I thought my comment was going to be like But no, it's good. It's like blueberry. A cute coffee, honestly. I appreciate it, I appreciate it. I liked it. It's fully worth it. I would even queue up right now, look, we see that there's no line, but if there were a line, honestly, I would queue up. And I'm learning another very curious thing. A girl in line just told me because she bought a mug with a pig on it, and I did notice there's a pig in there, a pig that they make with coffee beans. It turns out that's because in those days, in '71, when all this opened, all these places, all this, in fact, look, there it is, look, see? Public Market, it says there on that sign. Well, that was exactly a public market, an animal public market, so what they sold the most of was pigs. So that's why many places kept the pig identity, and yes, apparently this is the only Starbucks where you can get the mug with the pig and pig merchandise and see the pig itself. Which, look, curious, huh? But yes, how about that? Apparently, the original mascot of Starbucks is not the famous barista, the little bear that everyone hypes up, it's a pig, it's a hog. Oh, look. I met my buddy here in line who's showing me. He has a ton of photos of Gran Malo. Wow, even the horchata one. And your gallery is full of Gran Malo. Those are family parties. So a Starbucks with a hint of Gran Malo, or what? Well, let's see how the hotel goes later. That. You have to have a little sip. You have to have a little sip. Cheers. How nice to see someone with Gran Malo. Gran Malo will one day be the size of Starbucks. Mark my words. Well, honestly, the Starbucks is cool, the first Starbucks in the world that isn't the first, but hey. Uh-huh. Recommended. Yes, at least from my experience. I don't know, I didn't get to see the long summer line, but if anyone else has been here, comment below. How was the line for you? I think it's cool, the experience is good. Well, let's keep exploring. In this city is what many have called the most disgusting tourist attraction on the planet. And this is the famous gum alley. Look, I had seen pictures on the internet and I said, "Oh, how curious, right? A street where people come and stick their chewed gum." It's curious, I suppose. But I had to come, feel it, smell it to truly absorb the vibes, the essence of this place. Honestly, it's really disgusting, I won't deny it, but it's equally fascinating. I mean, the coordination of so many people, thousands of people over the decades to achieve this perfect work of art, there are people who write their initials or their full name with gum, they make figures with the wrappers of the chewing gum. This is art, okay? From whatever angle we look at it, it's an artistic piece. And the story of how it all began is very curious. It's said that around 1993, there were many people lined up here precisely because they wanted to go, look, to this theater here. This one here is a theater called the Market Theater, I believe, yes, the Market Theater. It's still a theater to this day, you know? They do comedy shows and stuff, stuff. So, there were many people lined up here, and the doors weren't opening, and they got bored. So they started sticking their gum on the wall. So it was like, I'm waiting. People kept doing it and kept doing it to the point where it filled up. It's said that the authorities tried to fight against the gum on several occasions, but it wasn't until around 1999 that they said, "We're going to surrender." Okay, like, no, we can't with this. We can't with the majesty of the gum. We're going to surrender, we're going to accept it, and we're going to make it a tourist attraction. So, from then on, it remained a tourist attraction for many years until 2015, when I don't know who came up with the idea of, "Let's clean the wall once and for all." So they brought many people and with steam machines and shovels and everything, they worked here for three consecutive days. Three consecutive days to remove all the gum. It's reported that they removed more than a ton of chewing gum. Oh, wow. A ton. I mean, almost an elephant, right? Made of gum. But the most curious thing is that despite the very long working hours and the very heavy amount they removed, in less than 24 hours it was already partially full, because people were like, "Are they removing the gum? Let's go right now." And they started chewing in protest, right? Angrily. They started chewing and, bam, stuck it back on, and so it was again. So, finally, the authorities said, "No, well, dude, it is what it is, it's the gum alley." And it's quite long, look. It started, well, where we were, and all the way here. I mean, it's extensive. I mean, how much gum is there? I don't know. Hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, I don't know. But look, all the way here. And it's very touristy, I mean, everyone comes here to take their photos and stuff. Look, it ends here. Ah, no, it continues here, look. Yes, yes, yes. I mean, you turn the corner, and the gum continues here. Okay. Even the light pole is completely covered. No, no, no. It's very fascinating. And, you know what? Obviously, we're going to leave our contribution here. And obviously, we're going to contribute to art, that's what we do on this channel. We support art. As they say, "From your art to my art, I prefer my art." How many will I use? Several. I don't want it to be a big wad of gum. It's getting fat. It's getting fat. Mm. I came prepared. I came prepared for the occasion. And where am I going to put it? No, I think I like it here. It's cool here. Especially because the gums that are there are so dirty. Look, they've lost their color, you know. And you know what I like, that there's a very cool line of respect, like, dude, the gum alley ends here, and that's it. It's not like the crowd expanded over there and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter." No, no, no, no. The gum alley ends where the gum alley ends. Now it's time for the truth. There's my wad of gum. You know what I want to do? I'm going to try to make an L. An L for Luisito. There's no other way than to touch the gum of the other guys. That's what's required. There it is. No, look. More or less, right? An L, a reversed J, I mean, I don't know what that is, but look, when you come here, know that that deformed L was put there by good old Luisillo. Okay, we're contributing to art. How beautiful, how beautiful to support humanity's arts, honestly, it's very good. Okay, I loved it, I was fascinated, and yes, when you come, take a look. It's smelly, it's disgusting, but it's cool. Hey, and seeing the market during the day is another experience. The other day when we came to Starbucks and saw it all closed, right? No, during the day it's super lively. And right here at the Pike Place Fish Market, you can see them throwing the fish, and it's very iconic, I mean, people line up. Look, all these people here are waiting for the next fish toss, they're waiting for it. And I told the guy, "Hey, I want to record you throwing the fish." And he told me, "Yeah, brother, no problem, just buy me a souvenir or something later." So, look here, I'm going to buy some lobster claws shaped like lobsters, huh? And yes, like, people come here for that, to eat a lobster sandwich, to have some very fresh oysters, like, it's very lively and it's a very iconic place. Even, look here, right here is the pig that I told you about at Starbucks, it's this one here. And yes, all these businesses have adopted it as their mascot and stuff. It's very cool, honestly. Oh, I'm going to pay for this, they'll think I'm going to steal it. Let's see, let's take it. What else? A Burger magnet, a crab plush toy. It's cool, they have it complete, they have it well. Where do I pay for this? 7 8 9 16 16 16 16 Ah, good Spanish, huh. Good Spanish, my guy. Good Spanish. There we go. Nice. Thank you, my brother. Eh, there it is, look. It's done. It's done. But yes, it's very cool and it smells delicious like fish and herbs. I mean, why would I tell you otherwise? Like herbs. Because here, herbs are legal. In fact, all the streets smell like herbs, and here it mixes with the fish. Delicious. A delicious mix. Look, that's what's happening to us right now. Look. He's throwing the fish back, huh? He's going to throw it back. Eh, why did no one clap? What's wrong with you, prudes? Clap for the good man who's doing a great job. Look, with the little tongs. Applause. Applause. No, honestly, it's cool. Now we are inside the famous Amazon Spheres. Oh, wow. This is, but truly super impressive. Three massive glass spheres located in the area where all of Amazon's main offices are. And the fact that I can be here recording right now is a very special opportunity, even at the entrance, I really liked that. They put up a sign saying, "No entry for now, filming in progress," right? I mean, they closed the space for us to make this video. No, no, no. How wonderful, huh? Being friends with Amazon is recommended. Okay. I feel like from afar I'm friends with Mr. Bezos. Mr. Bezos. Thank you. I shake your hand, gentleman to gentleman. Thank you for letting us film here. What happens is that this impressive greenhouse is not a tourist attraction, but rather a workspace. This is solely for Amazon workers and was designed by the team so that they could have a different place to work. Maybe you're tired of being in your little office, in your little cubicle. No problem, buddy. Come to the greenhouse, where there are over 40,000 plants from 30 different countries. They tell me there are even carnivorous plants here, and they tell me it's open for tours for visitors who don't work at Amazon. I think twice a month, but they are specific days. Other than that, it's only for people with badges, with Amazon badges. Amazonians have very striking spaces, like this one here called the Bird's Nest. And indeed, yes, I feel like a bird here. And I feel like giving some pecks. And it smells, it really smells fresh, it smells green, it smells different. Well, it's a tropical forest, literally, in the middle of the massive city of Seattle, so outside here there are buildings and thousands of cars every day and noise, well, it's a lively city. And you enter here and you feel truly at peace. It's very good, it's very top-notch. And it has many spaces for walking, well, it's said that Mr. Bezos himself said that walking meetings are sometimes more efficient. So he said, "Ah, well, maybe here workers have an important client among colleagues, who knows, a little meeting, instead of sitting there, they can go for a walk in the tropical forest that I built for them, and maybe they'll be more productive, right?" Eh, no, honestly, it's really cool. Another very cool fact is that if you look at them from the outside, it might seem, okay, this is information I'm assuming, but it might seem like they are like Echo devices, you know, Alexa devices. And in fact, when Mr. Bezos inaugurated this work, he said, "Alexa, open the spheres." And they tell me the top part lit up blue, as if it were an Echo device listening to you. And it was like, "Yes, of course, Jeff." And then they opened. And it was something like very epic. Look at these historical moments in modern history. And that, I was telling you that I really had access to this place and it was all empty. In fact, before it was accessible to workers, we came very early in the morning to get it empty like this, because I'm currently working with Amazon and stuff. Later on the channel, you'll see, but I wanted to include it in this video because I think it's a very impressive place in Seattle. Let's keep walking, right? There must be many more things. Look at this. It says here it's the selfie station. Let's see. I'm curious. Let's try it. I put my phone here. I mean, and what's the point? I mean, what can I do with it, spin around or? Let's see, I'll put it to the test. Let's see. No, like, for a video here on social media, right? With an inspirational song. People didn't believe in me. But what do they say now? Oh, [laughs] no, it's not for that, I don't think. I don't think so. Look, nearly 4 billion dollars invested in the structure and stuff, and the selfie stick isn't that great, huh? Constructive criticism, but it's good. Look, in case you come with your office colleagues and stuff. Ah, no, it's cool, it's good, it's good. Oh, it's super comfortable here. Look, you can sit in the little basket. Ah, here with your laptop, right? Or take a nap, right? Well, sometimes it's necessary, right? And here with this view, with all the plants, right? It's very cool. I mean, having a video conference here, what do you know. Look, it's very good. Now, I don't know, people who work at Amazon here, I mean, tell me if people actually use it, because sometimes in very cool offices, it happens, right? That the workers don't use it. But let's see, I imagine that if they closed a space especially for us and told us, "Come early before everyone else and stuff," it must be because it's actually used, right? But honestly, what a design, what a design. And for meetings and stuff, they have many spaces with little sofas, others more enclosed for video conferences. Very impressive, huh? Look, I'm not just saying it because I work with them, but also, yes, it's appreciated. Thank you Amazon, but no, honestly, what an impressive company and what, I don't know, I like hearing these success stories, just like we saw with Starbucks and stuff, likewise, a guy who started in his garage selling books online, out of nowhere said, "Let's build some spheres so my thousands of workers can be cool." I mean, no, no, no, it's, look how impressive, huh? Very cool stories, very beautiful, very inspiring. Oh, look, there are frogs here, but some frogs that look poisonous, huh? They look Amazonian. Well, it's Amazon, right? It's the Amazon, they have to honor it. No way, how exotic. Look at those colors. If I lick it, what will happen? Real doubt, huh? No, I don't know, I don't know. It's very cool, and all the plants and everything, right? Very unique. Well, honestly, I loved being able to enter here. Wow, what a unique opportunity, truly. Thanks to the Amazon team for letting me in. And yes, we have to leave now because it's opened, now for the normal hours, and the workers will start arriving. They tell me the coffee here is very famous, that many people come for that, right? Honestly, super cool, super cool, very special. And wait, I'm telling you, the full Amazon video that's coming soon on the channel is truly mind-blowing, very cool. Well, let's keep exploring. Without a doubt, one of the most recognized musicians who have come out of Seattle is Kurt Cobain, from the very famous band Nirvana. I imagine most of you here know the context of how he lost his life, the 27 club. Very sad, very sad. And right next to the house where Kurt was found lifeless, fans made a monument, in quotes, unofficial, which is what is now known as Kurt Cobain's bench, a bench in a park that is at the house where he was found lifeless, which fans to this day visit every day to leave messages of love, to leave images, significant objects, etcetera, etcetera. In fact, I might be mistaken, but I think, according to my research, that the house, Kurt Cobain's last house, where he was found in 1994, is this one here. And in fact, they're supposed to have planted a lot of trees and stuff so that people like us now aren't taking pictures of the house. This house has other owners now. It's been resold several times since 1994. So I imagine they don't want people taking pictures of their house, and that's why Nirvana fans, Kurt Cobain fans, adopted this bench as the monument, it's the last public property space that can be visited, where a tribute can be left without obviously trespassing on someone else's private property. It's said that when Kurt was found lifeless, fans started coming here, obviously they started gathering and stuff, and since they gathered a lot on this bench, they basically said, "This is the place. Here we will put the monument made by fans," which many say is actually the most significant monument to Kurt Cobain, as it was made entirely by fans, it's not institutional, it's not government, it doesn't involve money, paying for a ticket, an official museum, tied to Kurt Cobain's ideology, which if you research his history a bit, it's well known that in the end, he spoke a lot about greed and money problems and blah blah blah. So that's why this place is so unique and so beautiful, because no one really gains anything from it. Made entirely by fans who just want to come and leave a nice memory, right? A positive memory. Now, curiously, I was researching, this is no longer the original bench as such, and this is where things get a little ugly, honestly. We have to say it as it is. Humanity being humanity. It turns out that the parks program, right? Of the city said one day, "Oh dear, we have to change the benches." So, we're going to remove the old ones, they're very ugly. We're going to put new ones. Ta ta taat. They removed it, and a smart person saw potential in the bench. He said, "No way, I'll take it." He took it, took it to an auction house, and it ended up selling for about $30,000. A rock museum in Ireland bought it, according to my research. So, look, I like to think that the person who auctioned it and sold it and everything wasn't really a fan of Kurt Cobain, because it goes completely against the ideology he tried to preach and that at least the fans come here to express. When they put the new benches, the fans said, "No, this tradition isn't going to die, let's go back there." And on the new bench, they started writing messages, they started leaving things. How about that? Without a doubt, a very significant place and, I don't know, it has changed my mood a bit. To think about how, how he lost his life, right? The circumstances, the things that must have been going through his mind, I don't know. It's very sad, isn't it? Very hard. How can someone reach the point of saying, "I don't want to be in this world anymore, I don't want to, I don't want to live anymore." Oh dear, it breaks your heart so much. And I do want to tell whoever is watching this video, who might be going through a difficult time or whatever, you can do it, buddy. Okay? You can do it, buddy. Ride this wild mare called life and show her that you are in control, you are capable, you are cool, and you can do anything. So, well, without a doubt, a site that makes us reflect a lot and that must be visited with the respect it deserves. And although it's empty right now, there's no one else here in the park, which, by the way, is called Vireta Park. When we were arriving, we did see a group of people who were coming here and stuff. So, if this story means something to you, if you feel a certain way connected and you like Nirvana's music, then it's a good spot to come and reflect and pay your respects. With much love and much affection. We went for a walk around the Fremont neighborhood, or Fremont, I don't know how to pronounce it. They recommended it to me because it's supposed to be a very alternative neighborhood, like very cool, like very random, there are strange sculptures everywhere. And indeed, we found the Fremont Troll, very famous and very random. Okay, it's a random thing, it's random. One would think, okay, well, I don't know, it symbolizes some local legend, who knows. According to research, this whole area, the whole Fremont neighborhood used to be a dangerous, hot, garbage-filled place and so on. So it was around the 90s that a group of local artists got together and said, "You know what? Let's clean up the area, let's revive it, make it feel cheerful." So they made this troll that is crushing a Volkswagen Beetle. Very, very curiously, as a result of this troll that lives under this bridge, legends started to originate, like if you bring offerings to this troll, it can grant you a wish and so on. So yes, people come and leave things for it. We see here that they left a condom, they left a Pulparindo, and a few other things so it will grant them a wish. And yes, it's the only story I really found about this troll. If anyone knows another version, please comment it below. But it's cool, that, that's for sure. The sculpture is awesome. Another super random thing in this neighborhood is that there's a massive sculpture of Lenin. Right in the middle of an American neighborhood, why not a sculpture of the leader of the Russian Revolution? And the story is very curious. It's said that this was actually built in former Czechoslovakia a long time ago, and when communism fell and stuff, they threw it away and put it in a scrap metal dump. So, a very intellectual American professor said, "Ah, we shouldn't waste it." He found a way to bring it to the United States and then placed it right in the middle of Seattle's hippie neighborhood. By the way, this neighborhood is very curious. It's said that they believe it's the center of the universe, like they have very cosmological ideas and stuff, and you see many signs like psychic readings everywhere and stuff, and they have some figures like planets and constellations marking why this is the center of the universe. And well, in this hippie neighborhood, they said, "Let's put Lenin here because this is an open canvas, all ideologies are accepted," and well, I don't think we need to go into much detail about why it's, well, controversial, right? Having this here, but that's it, it's a very anti-system neighborhood, let's call it, very hippie, an ideology very open to all kinds of ideologies. So, yes, honestly, the neighborhood is cool, there are many curious little businesses. And another thing I've loved about Seattle, at least this season I'm visiting, is that there are many cherry trees. I didn't know that. And right now they are blooming and they are very, very beautiful. We just passed one that even had some ducklings and everything. People take photos with the cherry trees, just like in Japan itself. Well, honestly, the Fremont neighborhood is cool. It's curious. It's good for a walk, for hanging out. The origin of the city's name, Seattle, is very interesting and is entirely due to this brother here, my buddy, Chief Seattle. You see, this statue is made in honor of the Native American chief of the Suquamish and Duwamish tribes who inhabited this entire region about 200 years ago, even more. And he, Chief Seattle, was known for being very pacifist, for always seeking to avoid violent conflicts. So, when the colonizers arrived around the 1800s, Chief Seattle advocated strongly for there to be no massacres. Let's resolve this peacefully. And that's why he became a very respected, very important figure, and that's why eventually the colonizers decided to name the city in his honor, Chief Seattle, Seattle, right? Like they said, "We don't know how to pronounce it. You're called Seattle now, okay? You're not Seattle, you're Seattle." And it's quite ironic, isn't it? Because as much as they respected him and he advocated for peace and so on, well, it is said that there was no great massacre and stuff, but in the end, they did end up appropriating the lands and little by little eliminating the culture, the way things are. Now, something very interesting about this square here, which we are actually in Pioneer Square, is that many people believe that this totem here, well, it's beautiful, huh? I'm not mistaken, it's gorgeous. Many believe that this totem explains the city's name and that perhaps it belonged to Chief Seattle in some way, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I was researching and it's curious. Okay, it's all a great irony. It turns out that this totem, this artistic figure of Native American culture, is not even from this region. It was brought from Alaska and was brought, according to my research, around 1899, and Chief Seattle died in 1866. So, nothing to do with it. It wasn't even the same era, it wasn't even the same culture, the same region. Simply some guys, some historians, saw it in Alaska and said, "Let's take it." And to make this even more ironic, curious, let's call it, this isn't even the original totem. It turns out that the original totem burned down in the 1930s. It burned in a fire that happened here in the region. So, they sent to reconstruct it. So the most famous totem in Seattle isn't even from the region, it has nothing to do with Chief Seattle, and it's not even the original. I mean, [laughs] it's very curious. It's not to kill people's illusions, but well, that's how things are. That's the situation. When you come, impress your aunts with the fact that aunt, this isn't even real, it's not from the region, it's not from the era, it's just beautiful. And just a few blocks from the totem is Occidental Square, which is supposedly where the modern city of Seattle began, so to speak. Right here in this park today were the first European settlements in the 1850s. We have to imagine all of this filled with camps, little wooden shops, a very chaotic port city because the sea used to reach here, now it's about three blocks away. The city modernized considerably after a massive fire that occurred in the late 1800s. In 1889, everything burned down, everything, everything, everything. So this square we're seeing now is the original space, but the city of before is below. Also, when they were rebuilding, they took the opportunity to grow the city in height and also in distance, thus gaining some space from the sea. It's very interesting how a great fire that destroyed the city once eventually made it richer, more developed, and more orderly. Today, in this square at Occidental Square, there are several very beautiful indigenous art pieces, by the way, truly very impressive when you analyze them, but to our great surprise, they are also not original, they are not really from the region, but still, it's appreciated that there is beautiful Native American art, it at least attempts to recognize the region's past. Today, the coast is about 300 meters from where it originally was, and it's very cool, honestly. It's very pleasant. Just today that the sun came out, it's like people came out to gather here. I see some people skipping stones and making them bounce, just like in the movies. Exactly. Let's try it. I see my buddies picking up flat stones. Hey, what's the technique? Should I get out like a flat one or what's the technique? Yeah, I just try to go for a flat one. Like, like up, right? Like this. Alright. Alright. Let's try. Look, a very flat one. This one looks flat. Let's see, comment below if you know how to do this. Okay, here we go. I'm going to try to do it like my buddy here. Look, look at my buddy. Wow. I mean, it bounces two or three times. Ah, let's see. My turn. Go Luisillo, the master Luisillo the crack. Come on. What a fail. It was one. It was one. This one is good, look. Flat. It's cool. Okay. Come on, damn it. What a fail. One more thing I fail at in life. So there you have it, a bit of Seattle in the very north of the United States. Look, I liked it. The city is very beautiful, there's a lot to see. The people seemed quite cool, quite friendly. There are also many Hispanics. We met a lot of people on the street. Yes, it's cool, and honestly, we missed seeing a lot of things that people who live in the region, who have already visited, told us about. Put in the comments what we missed seeing, what we missed documenting. Honestly, I liked it and I'm left wanting to return with more time to be able to absorb more of this beautiful city. Thank you very much for accompanying me on another adventure, and as always, you already know, we'll see you in a few days with a new video. Goodbye.
