Staying in VIETNAM | SLOW TRAVEL
It's time to stay in Vietnam. For the past year we've travelled to find a place to stay a bit longer and many things go into that decision.
Vietnam is a cheap place to live, the people are friendly and in Hoi A the mood is relaxed. Time to SLOW IT DOWN.

Live a SIMPLE LIFE | A fulfilled experience
มุมมอง 6314 วันที่ผ่านมา
Living a simple life to me, means being present here & now. In our ever busy world we can be consumed by the 'bling', trying to make ourselves feel worthy amongst the crowd. You already are worthy and the pursuit is a distraction because you may not believe it. Practice being present in your experiences because you are the experience, you are life!

It's never too late to start your life over. Have you ever realised that you are life, you are the experience. You are the one who is in the drivers seat and the only one who can take that away is you. Video was filmed in Penang Botanical Gardens
No need to rush, PENANG morning walk, YOUTH Park

A Decision will transform your life

The first and hardest step is often making that decision to do what you really want in life. You may think that many things are standing in your way, but in reality is it just you. Is it your beliefs, your unattended values, your fears. Lets make a decision and focus on what we do want!

What's holding you back, living a life that you want to live? Fear, beliefs, unworthiness? Recently I changed my channel name to fit in with my video subject changes and I'd thought I'd say why.

The problem with THAILAND, create suffering or Let it go

The problem with Thailand? Do you create your own suffering or do you just see things for what they are? Problems are only things that we are in resistance to and coming to this realisation we can become aware of what we are focusing on and how we sit in our own suffering.

    When I take a bus from Pattaya to Bangkok, I get off at one of the BTS stations before Ekamai. It is faster. Taking a bus from Ekamai to Pattaya is no problem but....BUT once you reach the Pattaya bus station to take a public songtaew is a pain in the arse. 1) You have to wait until the "baht bus" is full 2) during peak season the driver will charge more 3) the tuk-tuk mafia is rude. btw. If I was on the same bus at you , I would have to ask you not to talk out loud. Nothing worse than a babbling passenger on a phone or making a blog.

    • @Talaylife
      @Talaylife 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there, Eki Stamps (Eki = station) can generally be found on JR Train lines, I've always found them before the exit gate, as you are getting off the train. They also can be found on other train lines but I'm afraid I don't think there is an official list. If you are at a station and can't find it ask one of the attendants at the gate, you can say, "Eki stampu doko deska", which means where is the eki stamp or "Eki stampu arimaska", - is there a station stamp. OR Eki Stampu, in a questioning tone will be understood. Sometimes stamps are kept at the station office/desk so you have to ask. As stamps are popular there are other places you can get them from like, Temples and shrines, Tourist infö centres, museums, zoos, parks, like Ueno in Tokyo and even the Tokyo Metro Government Building which has a free outlook area. I also found one in a shop called Traveler's Factory, they have a few. My favourite stamps were when I went to Mt Kurama in Kyoto, 4 in total (worth the trip) and the train station you start from (Demachiyanagi) also has it's own. Hope this helps a bit, I'm still on the search for more.
