Thank you for your honesty and sharing these things.
Thank you so much for your comment!
Yes... always make time for family and loved ones... every minutes count.. cherish every moments!!! 👍🏼💪🏼❤️
Family is first! Yes!
🤗❤🤗 I can relate to your life story. Thank you for sharing. Blessings
Awww thank you so much!
This brought tears to my eyes 😢.. That he wanted you to stay.. 😢
Thank you so much... I took a break from telling this story cause I find myself getting way too emotional for TH-cam. It means a lot to me that you can relate
I throughly enjoyed you speaking about your grandfather. I guess you became the man he was. Many blessings my friend.
Aww thank you so much Larry. I definitely know you can relate :)
there is no right or wrong choice, there is only the one you chose then you must live your life to the best you can for yourself. For me choosing to live in China with my wife and leaving my American family behind is the choice I made and am living with, I will go back to the USA every year and visit with my kids and grandchildren and leaving will always be difficult but that is a decision I have made (also hate the cold Michigan winters :-) )
Haha for sure. Everyone has different situations and I think you made the right choice. You only live once
it was so pretty ❤ thank you for share these moments with us :3
I think you should stay in Korea right now with your family. How long will you stay there doesn't really matter, you can always go back to Thailand or USA at any time. Life is short, it's not always having chill and fun. Thanks for your honesty, and take care there man!!! Cheers from Poland
I also would say stay in korea.. "home is where your heart is".. and in your case it is in korea
Thanks you. My heart is in two places so I am hoping to split my time while also building a more successful future
Great job with the video - loved seeing you in the rural area with the really neat grandfather! Your GM seems so nice too!
Thank you so much. I am so happy this video is getting some views lately cause it bombed when I released it 2 years ago. Maybe I'll continue this series although I think I was really emotional at this point cause he just passed...
thank you so much for sharing such a precious and intimate piece of your life with the rest of us, i loved it from start to finish, defo subscribing x
Aww thank you so much... I was afraid it was maybe a bit too intimate but I am glad you liked it!
I love this video...definitely something I’ll always come back to. Thank you for teaching me many lessons ❤️
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed this video!
this video i love it. my 할머니 is from 경상도, this makes me miss them so much. blessings to you and 할머니 and spirit of 할아버지. your message is powerful, i can tell you are a very deep person. 고맙습니다~~
Awww thank you so much for the comment. Your message made my day!
Thank you for sharing your video and your thoughts. I hope your grandma is ok. Family is important and you never know when you see them again. This video touched my heart.
Thank you so much for leaving this comment. I really appreciate it so much as it’s not like my usual vlogs and I was concerned people wouldn’t like it
@@livetravelasia You're welcome. I think a lot of people can relate to your video.
I lived in Jeongeup in 2008 and it's one of my favorite country towns in Jeolla do. I've been searching for lifestyle videos in Korea to remind me of my time there and your channel takes me right back!
Wow that’s amazing. First time I came here was 07. Lots changed. Coincidently I am visiting my grandma for a few days and you’ve encouraged me to make another video on this place :)
@@livetravelasia I'm looking forward to living vicariously through your 시골 adventures. Keep em coming! Eat some of those delicious 정읍 grapes for me this summer. Might as well do a little 내장산 hike while you're there too!
I love every second of this video. I love the slow pace lifestyle. And spending time with family 🖤🖤
Aww thank you. I am so happy you liked this video.... My grandpa has since passed away and I also love looking back at this video
My grandpa passed away this year. I miss him everyday. I wish I would have spent more time with him in his last moments on Earth, but unfortunately, we live in a different country and the borders are closed. It's said many times, but it is true, cherish every moment with your loved ones.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish you the best as well and my condolences
wow. I am your big fan from south Korea. Really look so good. Please have happy time with your families and be careful for the china virus ^^
Thank you so much Evan!
I have to put my two cents in here.. I LOVE the countryside, any countryside. Since I have a longing to see Korea that is where I have been searching for videos that show the real countryside in South Korea. I don't know why anyone would want to live in a city... But that is just me personally... It takes all kinds, as they say. Love all the pretty streams and plants you show and little villages... THANK YOU!
Glad you enjoyed it! I like ‘em both but I guess my heart is more in the country. Planning on going back here next month when the cherry blossoms bloom and I’ll make more videos about it. Hope you’ll enjoy it :)
I would retire there I always love the countryside of any country that's the heart of any country, so thank you for sharing 👊🇺🇸🌍
You’re welcome Donna!
Do not go to America, America is beyond repair. Please stay in Korea, I think you will not regret staying in Korea. Good Luck. Make your home and raise a family and be happy. The time you spent with your grandparents will be so important when they are gone.
Yes!
Im an English teacher to Korean students here in the Philippines.what fascinated me about the country is the spicy food.but they told me the taste is different when you are in Korea.its "real" there...and the drinking culture,too. It was fun drinking with my students,Soju-beer mixing,spicy korean soup,samgyupsal.best combo.🍻🍲🥓.want to try to apply visa again.i was denied first time.and i prefer to have my vacatiom in the countryside👌
Absolutely. Food tastes very different here even if they use the same ingredients as the vegetables and the sauce all taste very different here. Hope you can come soon
❤❤❤ this episode
Thank you 🙏
I would love to visit this place ❤
Would love to show you around more!
That is really a Nice and Relaxing place to live .
Definitely. I can see why my grandparents refused to stay in Seoul w their children
I always wanted to farm. If you really want to, start NOW before it's too late.
Man you’re convincing me
It’s not selfish to take care of yourself. It’s necessity.
Thank you so much for agreeing to this! Yes!
I think you need to give yourself more time to grieve for your grandpa, Cherish the people who are closest around you in Korea. Obviously you have time to spend time in Thailand with Mayu. Consider time you spend with people as bank deposits for your interpersonal relationships. I really started watching your channel for the content i was missing in Thailand as a Thai American, but I wish to give back in your time of need. Take care
Wow thank you so much Mike. I see you've been subscribed to me for a whole year! I'll definitely go back to Thailand. It's just become hard to make money and keep a permanent visa without being tied down to a low paying job but aside from that my heart is in Thailand so is my gf and home. I am def cherishing this time w family. Thank you so much for the support and I hope I can go back and bring some more thailand content. I have very exciting things planned when I return
Watch a 1996 movie with Robert Duvall and James Earl Jones "A family thing". Sometimes life's not about you.... It's just not all about you :-).
Haha great quote
For the last few years, you have travelled everywhere with Mayu. So we have become accustomed to seeing you two together: thinking you guys are inseparable. You shared the lows and the highs - travelling all over Asia, including travelling to Korea to visit your family. We all thought travelling was in your DNA. Naturally, we assumed you would have no problems travelling back and forward between Bkk and Seoul and vice versa. However, given the last few videos, I get a feeling that there is something deeper that you are Not prepare to share just yet.
Whatever it is, I am sure one day in your own time, you will explain it to your viewers.
In the meantime, I suggest you stay in touch with your partner every day. She looks like a keeper there.
One final point - regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you will always have issues about money. That is a fact of life.
Any way, whether due to distance (really not that far from Seoul to Bkk) or responsibilities to your older family members, you should always find time for the person you love - ie. your GF. Go visit her every fortnight during the weekends.
Thanks Van. Will definitely go visit Mayu. I guess the reason I am holding back is I honestly don't know what'll happen and I don't want to say one thing will happen before I have something lined up. All the choices and the concerns have been disclosed in my video and community post particulary in my livestreams on the talkasia channel. I really hope to have some solid answers too but this corona virus is pretty real out here. Today a city in Korea just went on high alert and I don't plan on doing much until it settles down but I have been editing a lot of past videos and also sharing updated thoughts on the benefits of living in Korea that I am considering. It can't be done in one video but once you see the experiences me and mayu have had in Korea the past 2 years you may better understand why it's a tough choice to go back to the lifestyle I had without making some changes. Unfortunately what i've pursued so far hasn't worked out but I am much more positive now about things working out :)
The private stash 👍😁
Lol
When are you coming back?
I have to be in Korea for at least a few months than I have to weigh my options. Thailand is not very attractive w English teaching so I am leaning towards finding something else out here and traveling
Is it expensive to live in the countryside?
Pretty cheap actually. Plenty of food and the housing is cheap
❤️🙏
Thank you so much!
thank you for sharing this video ,this is what you tube should be all about ,places you would never see ,i am fed up of watching yet another video of nana plaza or walking street, i grew up on a farm and my father used to grow lots of food in the garden.i dont know why but he does not bother anymore,i remember the food used to taste so good ,so much better than the shops, as to where you want to live ,wow thats difficult to me thailand is paradise so why dont you split the time between thailand and korea ,america well youve been there i would leave it at that stay asia so much better,you are sounding a bit depressed ,you need some alcohol,if anyone thinks this is bad advice just google what homer simpson has to say on this matter 55555
I will for sure. Reason I am trying to find work here in Korea is so I can work less and play more in Thailand lol. Also healthcare and not dealing with immigration benefits. I don't mind going to the thai embassy here and getting a tourist visa it's a breeze no wait but dealing w the hassles of costs of maintaining a visa for the rest of my life didn't sound too appealing. I am only 100 buck plane ride away from thailand which is cheaper than what I paid for gas for weekend trips to vegas so I don't feel to far. It would take me 5 hrs to drive to vegas. It takes about the same to get to thailand lol
Maybe this will get you more subscribers but this contrived bucolic voice over drivel with your cute dogs and such - I'm too old for it. Has Mayu started her channel yet?ou
Lol someone suggested voice over instead of subtitles as I never intended to make these as vlogs so not many scenes where I talked. Just bear w me for a few vlogs. Actually the next 10 won’t have that issue but I am wondering if I should do voiceover or subtitles for some more vlogs I am about to edit where it’s already shot and I can’t go back to it
@@livetravelasia I've unsubbed but will come back n a few vlogs to see if you've come out of this phase. I love to see the Korean countryside and older way of life, it's just the emo drivel I feel manipulated by.
