@@Castleromeo14 I'm not trying to put him down, or you. If people aren't used to traveling it makes sense that they would forget something. Mikey is a pro with mad travel skills. I'm just saying that I'm surprised he didn't have stuff ready to roll especially because of his earlier video where he did a covid quarantine solo and had to use a delivery service to get snacks.

I could sense the enjoyment from Mikey when he had his first meal after quarantine. I literally felt relieved for you!

Mike - you're on to something . Vlogging quarantine experience in every country you've been to and what's it like post quarantine.

Major kudos to you for being able to make the best of the food you received. I was honestly worried that you were going hungry from the small amounts of food they gave you for each meal - it's not even close to what we see you consume in a day. I'm glad you survived the quarantine and hope Christine's family are all doing well.

@@martijnbuunk Do you have a reputable source for this? Aluminium is all around us (even in water supplies). Your body absorbs less than 1% of the background aluminium in food or drinking water. Ninety-five percent of this is cleared by the kidneys. Most of the environmental aluminium you are exposed to passes out of your system within 24 hours. The average adult eats roughly 7-9 milligrams of aluminium per day. This amount can vary based on local environmental conditions or diet or cookware. Neither the FDA nor the European Food Safety Authority have found that this exposure is high enough to cause problems in healthy adults. It is true that aluminium exposure has been linked to dementia, impaired neural function and lung irritation, but this is never caused by routine, dietary exposure.

I am glad you weren't alone this time. It's nice have someone to talk to. Maybe have a bag prepared with spices, non-pershable food, and hot oil. Emergency trip bag. Lol. I pack packet of condiments in a lock & lock just in case and that's for domestic travel.
