That is HILARIOUS!!! Hope Rick likes it too. Love the money belt on the outside with the passport and baguette stuck in it. Gave me a good laugh. Thanks.

Thanks Michael. First thing I watched this morning after waking up. Now I don't even need my coffee! I thought it was funny when his beret blew off. The taxi driver thing was great too. Does any country have many native taxi drivers?

Glad everyone is enjoying it. From what I've been able to piece together, this clip is part of a TV show pilot for a kids show that aims to teach geography. It's being produced by the same folks who did "Bill Nye-The Science Guy". Steve Rick apparently going to be recurring character. Hopefully PBS or some other channel picks it up!

Thanks for the clip and for the background info about it. I can definitely see that "Bill Nye" style of humor in it. I loved the old Bill Nye show, by the way -- I really wish it were available on DVD!

Very clever. Loved the taxi driver. Steve Ricks probably wishes he had the commercial success of Rick Steves.

Interesting that there is a connection to the Bill Nye producers. Like Rick Steves, Bill Nye is another Seattle-area local.
