@@Crypto-Ninjaz Thailand is wonderful…but everything is for sale. Vietnam people will break you or make you.

Much appreciated! I'm tightening the wellness side of things heading into the new year, so looking forward to sharing more about me and the progress I'm making. Thanks for watching. Hit that subscribe button if you haven't, would love to get monetized with 1,000 subs.

@@dalesmf4310 it’s not, but neither are casinos and you’ll see those everywhere. The way it was explained to me is that they will not allow Vietnamese people in.

It’s an adjustment, but if you come with an open mind and a respectful demeanor, it’s great. Not sure if this will be permanent, but it’s what I need right now. Been out in SE Asia for 5 months now.

Couldn't tell you the difference! Thanks for watching. If you wanna hit that sub button, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, brother! I've got a small "call center" type job with my buddy's advertising agency. A typical month is about $1k, but a good month is around $1.5k.

Haha, they got me in Hoi An with the outfit. Negotiated down, but hard to do if you don't speak the language.

Much appreciated. Trying to rebuild myself out here in SE Asia. Next video will be my story of how I landed out here, wanted to have a microphone first and ordered them yesterday.

Thanks! I’ve been very surprised by how many Vietnamese people speak English, especially the youth. I did get lucky one night and had the owner of Cheers, take me out with a few other people for a good local meal.

@@Deadfoot-Dan if you’re running, it’s fine. I would say never walked into an establishment with a shirt off.

@@user-km2bz8iy5o understand the sentiment, but I’m no where close to making money off TH-cam yet. But us travelers in the area DO bring money into this economy. Ask the restaurant I go to EVERYDAY if they are happy about the money I spend with them.

@@user-km2bz8iy5o PS- creating content IS a job. One that ANY Da Nang local can do as well.

@@ManInProgress_USA doesn't make my point wrong

@@user-km2bz8iy5o OK, pal. You win. WOW- good point.

@@BEYONDTHESCOREBOARD1 thanks, brother! It’s been exciting to see people actually watch the content. I’d love to get monetized, so if you haven’t subscribed yet, please do!

@@ManInProgress_USA Keep up the great content and you'll reach it in no time at all :) Subbed !!

@@BEYONDTHESCOREBOARD1Will do! Appreciate the support.

@@BEYONDTHESCOREBOARD1 one of the things I didn’t mention in this video, I’ve been up that road once before, but did not make it all way to the past. The girl on the purple… Got her phone number, but she seems more interested in coming to America than she is in me. :-)

What's the name of the place with the whiskey expresso?

I wouldn’t say sadly. It’s a cute town, just not for a single man. :-) PLUS, I took the motorbike down there yesterday and paid double for a beer than normal.

Thanks for the feedback, my man.

@@LeHalazoone I’m definitely not an expert, but are you asking about obtaining a visa?

@ManInProgress_USA Hi no, i have canadian passeport, i m asking whats the bes asia s country to live in if you do ai job

@@LeHalazoone That's a BROAD question if I don't know you. What I would suggest is moving around through Asia and seeing what you like. For example, Thailand has beach towns and mountain towns. Each also has their own different culture. Some countries offer "digital nomad" passports which allow you to stay much longer. I'm only allowed in Vietnam for 90 days and have to leave the country and then return.

@ManInProgress_USA thanks sir It s so difficult to find the perfect place to be happy and to settle down

@ Happiness comes from within…something I’m working on.

Done!

@@ManInProgress_USA cheers. i like you have been holding back but then when i see china mac get a 12k live donation for the children i decided if im not going to do it for myself lets raise some money for the children and that kicked me to start.

@ haha, I can’t believe you know who China Mac is!! I HATED seeing some of his videos in Asia showing NO respect for the people. For example, filming in “red light” areas. I’d eventually love to see Japan, but gonna continue rolling through the SE where it’s more affordable for a while.

i not want for the money personally but over the next year or so i will get raising money for the children of vietnam for sure. iam staying in the south for a few more weeks to try and gain subscribers just get footage/coverage out there. i started up on 25th November. got lucky with first 100 subscribers i guess

@ let’s both keep plugging away!

@@coconutman5437 Thanks!! the video should improve as my editing skills do. That’s always been the one thing holding me back from starting a TH-cam channel but just thought I’d move forward and try to get better with time. We’re heading off to next?

@@NicolasLi-v9t I like where your priorities are. :-) And WHERE are you getting 4 cans of 500ML for 76,000?!?!? The best I’ve found is one 500 ML of 8% (Red Horse) for 32k.

@@ManInProgress_USA K-Market near me stocks Becks Beer 5% 500ml @19,000 per can - couldn't quite believe it when I saw it for such decent quality, given a Japanese equivalent Sapporo is @38,000

@@NicolasLi-v9t That's funny, we don't quite admire Beck's in the USA. I guess for the price, buying an 8% at 32-35K is the equivalent.

@@user-ep3ck5re4o Now I’ve gotta do math, thanks. :-)

PS- appreciate the view.

@@sophiapetros7602 you’re throwing stones in a glass house with that face.

@ I can see why life is going as it is for you. And why you’re single. You’re a loser at home.

@@ManInProgress_USA you’re a wrinkly OLD Man 👴🏻. You’re poor. And you are looking for an Asian cause you’re a loser at home.

Wow what a nice lady you are, your family must be proud...that or angry because from the looks of it you're eating them outta house and home

@@DevineOne that’s pretty wild! I’m OK with some support, but it’s nice to jump into a SOFT bed. Thanks for watching! I’ve always wanted to start a channel, finally putting it together and it’s exciting to see people actually watch.

I'll suffer a soft bed everytime ❤

@ I’m with you! The harder mattresses haven’t been that bad, but choose your area wisely. The last place had a school, this new place has construction- which there is a lot of in developing SE Asia.

@@DevineOne I didn’t figure anyone here would steal size 13 US. I’d let them have them if they would tell me where to buy new ones. It’s been IMPOSSIBLE to find shoes that fit.

@@TanPham-u3h actually met a girl in Da Nang. A local girl who owns a spa. Had our first coffee date this week and have plans to get dinner sometime in the near future.

Definitely something I’m aware of, just gotta be careful with what I’m spending. Suppose that you can get one for cheap, but the electronic store I went into around here and Da Nang the cheapest was $60…which is about 10 days of food out here. I’ll definitely look into it again.

Thank you! Mort to come. I’ve got some ideas on sharing more about who I am and how I ended up in Southeast Asia. Plus this video is doing pretty well, almost 1000 views with 39 subscribers so I want to do a midtier spending day, and a high tier spending day to show the difference in what you get.

@@_-_-.-_-_ thank you so much for the feedback! To your point, Hoi An is really a tourist trap and I think the locals get fed up with the foreigners. I haven’t had any issues in Da Nang, in fact was even taken out to dinner by the owner of Cheers bar and restaurant.

You have a good point about Hoi An. 👍

I find most Vietnamese elders still show resentment towards anyone being American 🙏, I was mistaken once for being from USA , I informed them I'm British 🙏, it was a different story then.

@@paultaylor2611 Well...the USA did go to war with them under false pretenses, so I can understand. I found out they don't call it the "Vietnam" war, but rather the American War. The way it was explained to me was they don't like the distinction because it wasn't the Vietnamese people fighting each other. Overall, everyone has been wonderful and smiles back. I think it the tourists areas, they are a bit fed up with the lack of respect people have. For example, when I walk the beach...people have just thrown plastic bottles and trash on the beach. I make sure to pick those things up and do my best to be a good guest.

Keep the love going for the algorithm

Fully aware. Wasn’t exactly “the plan”, but it’s where I’m at.

​@@ManInProgress_USAstay single until 83....don't over complicate your life with the illusion of a soulmate..

@ haha, in America, I don’t think getting married makes sense for a man. A woman can take everything from you, which has already happened to me without even being married. That’s the next video…how I lost everything and ended up in Asia.

@@ManInProgress_USA No worries, dude. I don't think marriage is the way. No matter where you are on earth. I don't need someone's permission to love a girl. I'm just saying, life isn't really worth it being all alone. Just don't give up and go for what you want.

@ ​​⁠Appreciate the kind words and watching my videos. I’m hoping to build a community of men who share their journey and support each other.

@@bigradwolf5001 I don’t. I learned some basic terms and get you pretty far with the Thai people. Currently in Vietnam, that’s a lot harder.

@@bigradwolf5001 and personally, I would look into Vietnam if you want your money to go further. It’s going to take about 1500 a month in US dollars to live well in Thailand. Housing is cheap but food and fun are just expensive.

@@ManInProgress_USA Thanks. Curious why you titled it "I survived a month", what is the context of this?

@ I guess I didn’t fully capture it but I was basically drunk and high the entire month. Would wake up and head to the weed dispensary after a quick workout and would be drinking by 12pm. Put down the first motorbike I rented, so that cost me about $140. Got a few jumps in (I skydive) and managed to hook up with a few ladies. No, not the “freelancers”- not into that.

Wait until you get to Vietnam. It's a HUGE part of the culture. I have a video coming up about the best coffee spots in Da Nang.

I'd look more into Vietnam.

@@ManInProgress_USA yeah right ,they have 🐶 restaurants. I'm not spending a red cent in that country. You can find plenty of apartments for 250.00 . I've been researching Thailand for 15 years so i think I've got a pulse of the country.

@@shaunspm thanks bud! My Vietnam videos are next. Then past videos of skydiving, marathon swimming 12 miles, and racing mountain bikes at 40+

$650 is HIGH!!! I went through AirBnB but if you're brave enough to come out without a place, cash in hand- no deposit needed, you can get the same type of place for $400-500 a month.

Must be a good looking dude! :-)

That's why I waited until I left to post it.

HOLY SMOKES...I'm shocked people watched this! I've got more videos coming, I'm just new to editing so it takes me a bit....but this gives me a ton of encouragement to move forward.

Thanks 👍

I'd recommend staying on the West of the Gulf and away from Pattaya.
