Prague is a beautiful historical city! Unfortunately, there are things that destroy it :( For example, graffiti, garbage, or a new thing that is called a love lock... People buy these locks on the street here for 20 euros, and then they go to the Charles Bridge, and hang it on there. Why? Please, if you want to show love to the city, do not destroy our cultural heritage by putting up your lock! Because, here's a secret: it's not going to be there forever. People want to take locks as souvenirs, so here you go, if anyone wants to take a lock, try to find your name! The chances that you'll find your name are pretty high. (LOL) Souvenir from Prague? Off-camera: Yes, but I can't find my... Uhh ...Your name? Haha! There actually was a case in Paris, where they hanged so many of these love locks on one of these bars, that it actually collapsed, and this one: there's a lot of them. I mean, we probably cleared out 5%, and I cannot lift it! So it's only a matter of time, before this thing would collapse... So many broken relationships, I'm sorry. So that's the last one, man. Or is it? No chance. Yeah, I think we under-estimated our powers. But after 3 hours, we've managed to get all of these locks! Actually, this is what we've got!!! We need more people. So we have this idea: we can actually take these locks, because they're metal, into scrap metal, and get some money for it, buy more pliers, and finish cleaning the bridge. Well, good morning. We actually only got one extra friend to help us clean the bridge from the love locks. But we do get extra pliers, so if somebody wants to join us, and help us clean this mess, we'll more than happy. Let's do it! Four hours later and this the result, only on one piece, because we were just unable to clean all the locks Our hands hurt so much, you have no idea, so this is a huge, huge respect to the people who have to clean this once in a while. So please don't think we're the only ones destroying love: we're not. People do it regularly, so we just felt like helping them out. And, I think the money we get from the metal, we're going to send to some good cause. The main reason why we did this was because people not only put the locks on these bars, or on these fences, but they put it on like historical places, historical stuff, right on the bridge. Let me show you. So that's St. John, Nepomuk. Famous guy. Five stars above his head, that's how you recognise him. But people destroyed this little statue by putting up love locks on it. This is what it looked like. So we cleaned it. 130 kg of love locks on this. Why would people do that? So that is what set us off to clean it up. So people can touch it. Nobody knows why they touch it. Because tour guides tell them to. We don't know how much this is, in weight, but the previous time we were here yesterday was 222 kg. Spot on. So there is tons of metal hanging on these bars, so they need to be cleaned. So please, please, please, I beg you, I ask you Hi, I'm sorry, that's alright, I'll move. But there are literally tons of metal, hanging on these bars, so eventually they would fall down. That's why they need to be cut off. And, in terms of money, this lock, in that street, costs 500 Korunas. That's 20 Euros! People! Guys, there are better ways to spend your money than 20 Euros for a lock. Also, mankind has already invented something to lock your love. It's called marriage. So guys, please, come to Prague, but please, I kindly ask you, I beg you respectfully, don't put love locks, don't do graffiti. Look how it looks, this is all tourist work. No, somebody has to fix that, it's horrible. Leave Prague in a better state than you found it. Not the other way around, because then will be no Prague for you to see and visit. And this is just a minor, minor, problem. Alright, I'll see you next week. And the Czech at the end is Zámek: a lock. Zámek: a lock. Or, a small one is Zámeček: small lock. Zámeček. Zámek. Zámeček.
