    Thank you for watching! I really think that respecting others and other cultures is the most important thing we can do when we travel.

    Hey G, thank you very much for watching and leaving a comment. I fully agree with you - and it's such an amazing county with incredible people (mostly), beautiful scenery, and great food. I hope you get the chance to visit again!

    I just happened to stumble across these old videos and I must say that I love these far more than the new one's! Something very Real and Down to Earth about them. Your reaction to the food comes with a little comedy side as well instead of the usual reaction with the eye roll that gets old.

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  12 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hey there, thanks for watching! I'm not really sure if that's possible, you'd have to do a bit more border and road research, but that's a great idea, would be a lot of fun!

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Yes, I still have lots more Burmese food to try! I hope to make another trip in the future and be able to eat more of the delicious food. Thank you very much for watching this video!

    Mark, really impressed with all the Burmese songs. You have also grown tremendously from when you first started.

    Hi Mark! It’s 2021 and I still enjoy watching your old blogs. Thanks for visiting Burma for foods! I’m from Burma, so it means so much to me. It’s also definitely nice to see how much you have improved over the years on filming! You’re AWESOME! Can’t stop watching your videos. (PS: I know wanna go to Thailand just for the food! Thanks to you 😅)

    @phillybigdoh 9 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I really prefer this type of blog... it really gives you the sense of travel... and not much production... IMHO

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    No problem, thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

  • @sambit2901singh

    The one thing that always strikes me about Mark is his down to earth attitude...be it any setting, a street food stall, humble abode of someone's home or an upscale fine dining luxury restaurant...he is at ease, always willing to learn new things & respect the locals, their culture...this quality is probably whats makes him so popular & likeable...also a tad different from other food vloggers...so refreshing for those of us familiar with his work since last 4-5 years to check out this older video with his hippyish look & quieter mannerisms...👍

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @Malconomics Great to hear that! I wish you all the best for your trip back and let me know when you post a vid too - that will be great!

    @MarkWiens  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TheCrazydionne Hey, thanks a lot for checking it out. No, just made this video all by myself after spending a few weeks in Yangon. On the street I just asked a seller for Burmese music - and this is what he gave me. I then just picked a song that fit! Thanks again!

  • @MarkWiens

    Hey Terry, good to hear you have an interest in visiting as well. It's a beautiful country. I didn't have a problem with eating raw vegetables, but I only really drank bottled water. I would recommend drinking bottled water.

    Mark ... Was so different back then.. developed that signature wow... gesture, after any meal, over the period of years... So these were the earliest videos where it all started.. well done buddy.. we are with you.

    You really helped me to open up my eyes to travel through Asia, I am in Singapore right now and will visit KL for two days. I am travelling with my parents so I cannot move about as I want but still glad to be here.

    Man, I love your videos. first video I watched is the one when you were in Kenya, since then I learned to stay in cheap areas and eat good food for very low price. Thank you very much Sir.

  • @iamshexsay
    @iamshexsay 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am new to your channel and that is because I'm visiting Yangon soon.. then i found myself watching your other videos. You are living a great life, the life that i want to live. Great job!

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Haha, yes. But garlic is worth every bite! No problem, I really enjoyed my time in Myanmar and especially the great food! Thank you very much for watching.

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey, thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it. No, no health checkup, but I'm still alive now! The food was excellent, and I did mostly eat hot fresh food as well as food in the morning market. I drank mostly bottled water and tea. How long have you lived in the US? Will you go back to visit?

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @minthagyi No, no problem with my stomach, I do a lot of travel, and I grew up in Africa, so my stomach is used to all kinds of different foods. I don't have too much more video, but I will be releasing all kinds of pictures and stories from Burma on my website travel blog at migrationology(dot)com
    Thank so much!

    @hillymilly15 Thanks a lot for watching! Yah, I eat a lot of street food, and I grew up mostly in Africa, so my stomach is more used to spicy and street food style meals!

  • @MarkWiens
    @MarkWiens  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @vijaymalhotra94 Yes, I stayed in a budget place called the Golden Smile Inn - great place and safe. When I was there I felt very safe, and zero risk. Everyone I met was hospitable and grateful to have visitors. Hope you get a chance to visit, I'm sure you'll have a great time.
    Thanks for watching and I'll let you know if I make it to India soon!

    @banfielddavid Hi David, Thanks so much for watching the video!
    That's awesome that you are taking a trip to Myanmar soon, I really enjoyed my time. Wow - 2 years, that's going to be an incredible experience. The big fish I ate was on one of the main streets in Chinatown, not sure exactly what street, but you'll see the fish from the main road. From that street you walk about 50 meters down the road to the restaurant I ate at. Awesome fish!

  • @MarkWiens

    migration mark street food days before he moved indoors to sit down restaurants, always a good description but i think he explained the food in more detail in the early days, maybe not, he has always been entertaining, thanks.
