    Hey guys! This is my first (of hopefully many upcoming) food/travel/music vlogs that I'll be producing in the future!
    This one features SAN FRANCISCO where I try a variety of Chinese/Asian foods as well as open up my case in the streets for a little violin busking adventure. Hope you enjoy it!

    HIS ACCENT KEEPS CHANGING

      He is a chameleon with a violin.

    @kurtus.1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +206

    does he just bring the strad with him in public places like that or does he carry around a spare when he's not playing concerts?

      Kurt S good point

    • @steemsprite7763

      He needs a "My other violin is a Strad" bumper sticker for the busking violin

    • @user-qd5gq9ec8k
      @user-qd5gq9ec8k 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Probably a spare because if anything ever happened to his Strad… 😬

    Thanks for these fun videos. My 8 year old son loves classical, plays violin and is a big fan of yours. You're definitely making an impact on the younger generation. Can't wait for your concert with NCCO. All the best Ray!

    So jealous of those who were there when you were busking!!

  • @AHG1347
    @AHG1347 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    The busking performance: 10/10
    The music jokes: Sacrilegious/10
    Part of me thought for a second that TwoSet Violin might actually crash your performance.
    If you end up revisiting the Bay Area, you should try Koi Palace in Daly City near Serramonte Mall. Their Dim Sum is excellent and a favorite for many locals. The Chinese cuisine along the Peninsula (San Mateo County) in my personal opinion is as good as San Francisco.

    I have only been to San Francisco once many years ago, but while it wasn't meant to be a travel video (or was it?) you have encouraged me to take "my heart to San Francisco" Thank you, sir! Oh, yes, I love your violin playing you tube videos. Make one of your conducting there in SF. Peace!

    I love San Francisco!!! I visited their oldest town, Alexandria, the Fisherman's Wharf, Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge, their vineyards and wineries, Lombard Street (the most crooked street in the world), and a lot more.

  • @sarabecerra6709
    @sarabecerra6709 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    When the video is too old but it's about food and you click on it anyway
    I loved it ♡
    Btw, something like this from lovely Taiwan would be more than welcomed!
    I never knew what a beautiful place it was until I googled it with a bit more attention the other day. I must admit, I'm smitten.
    Here in my country there's a Taiwanese community and we've always kind of knew about the country because of commercial relationships, but I don't think its culture is as widespread or as popular as for example that of other Asian countries - Japan, China - whose communities are perhaps bigger in number (in my city at least).
    Maybe sharing some regional/folk music as well? In collab with someone? That would be so cool.
    As we say in Argentina, un abrazo che! Saludos!
