It is a real joy to see a guy so full of energy, joy, positivity and charm. People should look at this video, listen and learn . HAPPY LIFE TO EVERYONE......and thank you Lee ❤
I visited Japan years ago. I was able to visit a Samurai home with a tour guide. She answered so many questions about the architecture. I love that you explain about everything and why things were done a certain way. I will definitely stop by there on my next trip. The traditional buildings are absolutely beautiful!
Inspiring to see a fellow Singaporean take an alternative path in life and seek happiness. Thanks for sharing Lee. The future of our young is bright if more take the less travelled path to build an enlarged Singapore in the world and making it better. 😊
so interesting to know about the houses and that it was still good temperature in side ect. thanks for the toure. the nature looks stunning as well, I understand why people want to live like this ^^
I grew up in a loose clay floored house in Hungary. We swept it daily with a wet broom to created a thin film which kept the dust down. The house had a thatched roof. Storks often nested in the chimneys. We were not poor, tht type of natural material worked with the climate & elements. And anything that can be sourced locally means you lesson your own carbon footprint & will be rewarded by God for your care of his planets. As a carpenter, builder, renovator it shocked me when I kept hearing that those in Haiti who always seem to have their hands out for international assistance refused houses that were to be built to the standards which would use local materials which would be accessible to them to maintain their homes properly on a regular basis. Everyone wants the N. American style houses that they see on tv or in magazines, which are totally inappropriate for many climates, for many people of modest means or for DIYers. My grandmother with limited assistance was always able to keep our home in good repair, our gardens in high production despite losing her husband when we were invaded during the Hungarian revolution. That more clever & reasonable sized home that your parents live in would suite me just fine. I really like the dominant points of design which make it impossible for even badly brought up persons to know that you never go into a house in shoes that have been on public filthy sidewalks etc.
From memory what Lee said was that because the roots of the tea plants go deep into the ground, this helps hold the soil in to place. It was common to have tea plants at the back of houses to protect them from landslides.
What a special soul on his path. Seeing this beautiful life in such a patch of verdant peace gives one hope. The earth's vibrations are low and dangerous: Lee is holding up more light than he may realize. Mighty blessings and extra angels to everyone. With love from an old stranger online. :-)) ♡♡♡ >"< ,

Thanks for the video! Just wondering how hard it is to get a visa to do what Lee is doing?
Lee has been living in Japan for a long time so I think he has permanent residency. Without that, it's be pretty hard

Where are you originally from Lee? You made me love the house!! Wish I could be there💗
Based on his accent i would say either singapore or malaysia.
how does the tea plant protect the walls?

I've watch too many movies and played too many video games, this place must be scary at night.

I've noticed that the water levels in Japanese rivers all over the country are down. I see it here, too. Why is that, please?
Hmm, I don't think it rain that much this year, at least that was my impression
🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🥰 💪🏻💯
