What I love most about your videos and your family is that you make the effort to KNOW about the places you’re visiting. As an English person I have really appreciated you getting to know England and the UK and the customs and the foods and the best places to visit before making a video about it. It’s clear that you don’t just visit countries to be a tourist, you go to be immersed in their culture and it’s fantastic and makes your videos all the more informative! Happy travels Mark & family x
Thank you Amber. I am so glad that that comes through in our videos. It really means a lot to hear that. Thank you.
Immersing ones self in the local culture is the best way to travel.
I LOVE Wolter !!!
Trashman Take a boat trip somewhere; wherever you are in the UK you can find a boat to travel down rivers, canals etc. Cornwall is absolutely beautiful and hiring a motor boat on the Helford passage in the south/south east of Cornwall is a must. Also the river tours in Canterbury are fab and boat hire in Stratford-upon-Avon. Visiting any National Trust property or Woodland Trust site is essential (they have websites you can visit to find one near to you), having a meal in a proper pub, walking and climbing at Dovedale in Derbyshire, check on Facebook for events near to where you’re staying. There will always be something going on! Street food festivals and markets, music events etc. Seeing a show somewhere would also be a must! Even if it’s just a small local theatre company, it will be a great night.
There’s literally so much to see! Stay near to a big city so you can visit all the attractions, but take a bus or a car to near by towns and villages because you will find something beautiful. I’m from Derbyshire which is in the Midlands so I would always recommend here as a place to stay, but the beaches in Cornwall, Wales or east coast are my favourite.
Everyone thinks our flag is cool but nobody thought of us poor kids who had to attempt to draw detailed dragons all through school :(
Demi Ataou at least you didnt have to draw 50 stars :(
I know I hate drawing and we have to draw a dragon
Ikr in year 2 that was hard, I come second but I won a little ball with the Welsh flag on it so that was alright because I would just throw it at people as hard as i could
Yes!!
Amen. Something that is further complicated by the fact that there's no "official" way to draw the Red Dragon (Draig Goch), (No joke, check it out!).
me: is welsh
also me: i need to watch this entire video so i know what not to do in wales
Rosy M literally phaha 😂
Same
Just done the same thing, good to be reassured though 🤣
Rosy M yes. I did that x
Great Comment and so true!
There is no such thing as bad weather here in Wales. Just inappropriate clothing.
I love the rain, it's what keeps this country so green and lush

Gotta agree, I'm a Londoner but I've been in Swansea uni for a year and I don't want to leave. It's such a beautiful country
Ngl on friday, i was dead. Just inside all day
Here in North Wales, Summer is our favourite day of the year :)
mezsh oh ya haha I live in north wales, soooo true aha
mezsh to true but it's cloudy most days
😂😂
That's a big L
Did u just say day
It's not rain in Wales, it's liquid sunshine 😜
I ZOMBIE reference 😂
We wish..
Alan Rees And the jones' come from Wales 😂😂✌️.
It's what we call perfect weather 😂
EllieMay Lewis Great songs ✌️.
'dont mention the rain' - yes mention the rain, its the one conversation starter everyone on this god forsaken rock has, we love bitching about the rain.
Everytime my friends complain its raining I just say 'well no shit we live in north Wales'
Yeh true
tall _nugget Ik Same.
Ehh pembrokeshire’s alright- i mean if it rained constantly people wouldn’t come to the beaches here oof
Also the sun if it's hot...
An American asked me why they built Cardiff castle in the city centre. 🏰🤔
Hahaha
When I was a kid visiting Conwy Castle, a group of Americans asked why the Welsh built a castle next to a railway 🤦♀️
Othala Shelton So many things wrong with that lmao
Close to the facilities? Easy to get out to buy a paper, milk etc.
Haha
Rather than say 'don't bother learning Welsh', I would encourage those who visit to learn a few words....this is always appreciated. Welsh actually has more vowels than English - as well as a e i o u we have y and w...knowing that makes pronunciation one hell of a lot easier! The good news is that you are well informed and sympathetic to Wales, and thanks for your video! Diolch yn fawr!
Wales has the coolest flag in the world. It has a big red dragon on it!
But a bugger to draw. Ask any school kid ;)
MsPinkwolf I love drawing my flag (Baner Cymru) 🏴 !!
Truth!
Prick
Cymru am byth!!!
Wales is to England like Canada is to USA. NOT the same place.
I think Scotland is more like Canada
@animal loyalty plus the years of racism and discrimination towards the welsh, they litterally tried to destroy our culture
@@lukeman4264 I think we're the same. We both hate england
Except we're not controlled by the US...
@@garanjenkins1750 A phwy wnaeth eich llefarydd?
Yeah we don't use phones here, we communicate through smoke signals from our chimneys.
In my village we tend to use sheep as messenger pigeons and attach notes into their wool and let the dogs hurd them to the next house till it gets to the destination. I personally enjoy lobbing a welly and a note in a general direction to a field and hoping for someone to pick it up and put it on a fence so the note will be seen.
@@analisaelizabeth6845 hahah a welly note. You can't do that, you'll need your wellies in all the mud we have.
Analisa Elizabeth 😂😂😂😂😂😂
How do you see the smoke through the fog and the mist?
😂😂😂
finally, an american who appreciates our culture 🏴
jvoji He's definitely not alone - England's just a way to get to Wales!!
I Am thinking of trying the Irish route to Wales though as i hear it's less expensive!

jvo the Declaration of Independence in the USA is signed by 14 Welsh Americans. Wales/Cymru sent us very great people to make a country with 😉
My ancestors were Welsh. It’s so beautiful 😍. I’ve had dreams all my life of this place. Finally looked up Wales landscapes and was caught off guard. I have to go there and visit! 35 yr old American from Kentucky. 😀
@Chris Wings It I have ancestors from Kentucky also, I’ll have to put the stone in my list.
I think there was a show on it several years ago, I’ll have to look for it though clearly as our ancestors were as smart, and perhaps more creative problem-solvers, it doesn’t seem implausible at all.
And phooey on the Welsh and Irish bashers, maybe it’s secret envy?
As a proud Welshman this guy has nailed it with. He’s well researched it, well done. Great work.
MrWeekendoff Agreed
Definitely
Is there any job opportunities for a married South African couple with 2 teen boys?
Well researched? What about the weather and shops opening and closing times.his comment of picked on by England by big brother. .proud welsh man you say??so you agree about that comment ?he has nailed it?proud welsh man? Uneducated welsh man. .
I wonder if this video was filmed in County Powys? The countryside along the Owain Glyndwr's Way looks very much like that.
Hey. As a Welsh guy who has traveled the world a LOT. I think your video is really good for non-Welsh travelers. Very positive! The Welsh people are amazing!
Totally agree Fabrizio.
EMS 76 He has other videos about Wales too which are oriented more towards travelling around and visiting places. He does a pretty good job.
One day I wanna visit the motherland
I’m welsh girl , and I find it amazing that you’ve done this video for people visiting wales. Thanks :)
I would like to visit Wales someday. Cheers!
I'm Welsh, born and bred and I can honestly say you NAILED it. I've seen a couple of videos where people are talking about places to visit and when they get to Wales I get the impression they couldn't point it out on a map let alone ever been here. Fantastic video! Another don't I would add is, Don't leave Wales without having had a sandwich made with Braces bread. You haven't had a sandwich until you've had one of those!
From a Welshman, thank you for making the video.
@Satan Don't feed the troll.
+Squirrel hygiene is for tossers
i know he knows we exsist
As I live in wales, I really do take The scenery of wales for granted, I forget how beautiful it is
I’m coming this summer for a family vacation. What is the best scenic countryside in Wales?
I personally think the british take great britain for granted, we go abroad spend two weeks by a pool or beach then a bar when we got some of the best places on earth to visit on our door step we have mountains, lakes, gorges, national parks and castles, coast lines, scenic railways, beautiful buildings, quant villages, coastal walks, pub lunches, Britain has it all 👍
@@waverunner3911 You also seem to not be interested in what beautiful countryside other than the overcrowded tourist beaches places like Spain and Italy have to offer.
I love nature. I love rain. I love Castels. And I adore Dragons.
Wales seems like the Home I've never had. And always dreamed of.
What a beautiful place 💚
As a welsh person myself there are so many beautiful places here and so much greenery.
The Welsh are ‘lush’
They are very friendly, welcoming and hospitable. Wales is a beautiful country and affordable, cheaper than most parts of the UK and certainly London.
Friendly to who?
Proper lush
I am English but have never had a problem with the people, just don't go with in with an attitude problem and all will be fine. Beautiful country, and the castles are awesome to walk around. I think it is nice that it is more laid back there which is why we visit. And when the sun shines (it does, lol), it looks amazing.
No we are the opposite
Fuckin bull
I’m an Englishman, I’ve spent most of my childhood holidaying in north wales, wales is a truly great place, so many adventures to be had, castles, mountains, gorgeous seaside towns and so much culture to soak up. And the welsh are lovely people!
👍Ta butty.
Diolch mêt. Hyn yn golygu llawer iawn🤝
Thanks
True gentleman
Are you fucking mad?
I live in North Wales born and bred, and I'm so glad that an American KNOWS about Wales :) You should come now, we're not used to this heatwave lol you have gained a new sub :)
You should come and see rual America sometime.
I knew some supposedly educated Americans who didn't believe me when I said that there is the Welsh language. They contradicted me and said it is a dialect. They had the shock of their lives when they went to Wales and saw the road signs!
Learning Welsh is the funnest part of Wales. It’s awesome! Way more vowels than English, actually, and phonetic spelling. So much easier than Gaelic.
I'd recommend learning a few Welsh phrases. I find that when I'm working my Summer job, and a tourist attempts a few Welsh words, it makes me feel very happy because they've made an effort. Not expecting fluency, but a "Bore Da" and "Diolch yn fawr" goes a long way.
And “helo sut wyt it”
Most of us Welsh don't speak Welsh, it's not a requirement.
Don't forget shwmae, we have a day devoted to it after all
Damn right it does. That's why I try to learn the basics "Hello" "please" "thank you" wherever I am
American learning Welsh here . I'd like to visit Cymru some day. Dw i'n dod o Wyoming, Unol Daleithiau.
First!!! Havent been first on my own video for awhile :)
Wolters World I’m a huge fan of your videos! From South England
Me too, love all your videos
@@davetoday2 thank you!
@@elliotmansfield5092 Thank you!
Forgot to mention it's now free to enter Wales, good video though, very well informed and shows how lovely we can be in Wales, all your don'ts are of things you can't miss, as opposed to, don't wear this or don't go here.
You forget that most of Wales you can walk around at night with no worries at all
From a Welsh person thank you for making this video. A lot of people don't even know Wales exists!
Madison Lily they insist it’s the Australian wales
south wales here :)
whenever people talk about the UK and leave out wales is pisses me off, so thank you so much lmao
Hayley Griffiths .. Same here lol xx
Ayeee South Wales here to man
I'm from Barnsley in England and i absolutely love Wales and the Welsh same with the Scottish and Irish our differences are what gives us our character! Love the lot o ya!
I don't like the politicians, i bet we have that in common neighbour👍
There's always a welcome for you here in Wales. I'm an ex Yorkshire man myself. Been here since 1973.
@animal loyalty what war was that??Wales was made up of many tribes(the British!) Who fought mostly each other!the clever Norman(French/Norse) kings,after defeating the saxons(english)in one day!cleverly got the tribes to fight each other!as they did with Scotland&Ireland!(a common Norman strategy!)it took them over forty years!and they never conquered the North!
#1 Don't call cardiff a town, its a city lol
but you are lucky enough to be there to see it. WIsh I could. Awww....
and many others bangor for one if in the north
Black.Flaps .Dont.Match typical Englishman

stacyblue1980 I love there I go there everyday
Who else lives in Wales but still watching this 😂😂
Evertime I was in Wales, it never rained. Most wonderful place I have ever visited
Loved Wales! Frankly Americans are not educated about this wonderful part of UK. It is very hospitable, clean and a people who are proud of their country and language. I liked listening to the "strange" language! Great hiking ...great for kids/family....I will return!!
Violet Gruner
Diolch ‘Thank you’ for being nice but there are many cocky teens here too😂
Unlike the English that have to be made to feel embarrassed to be English.
Haha thanks
Strange language ?
Language would be more popular if the English didn’t conquer us and demand we speak English 😂
Hello from Caerphilly! It was so refreshing hearing someone emphasise how we are a totally different country than England! I’ve had to circle on a map where Wales is before and confirm Wales in fact ISNT in England lol
Same from Caerphilly to
Believe it or not I have been asked if I am Welsh. My mum was but I was born in Shrewsbury, not to far over the border.
Hello Caerphilly right by the castle :)
Caerphilly here too 🥰
Big up Caerphilly and Cardiff, Bluebirds💙💙💙
As a Welshman I absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this, I hope you felt welcome and had a wonderful time. We’ll keep a welcome in the hillside for you.
Hi, I m an Indian planning to travel. To wales for four days in feb. Can u please tell me which is the best place to stay, so that I can see around maximum things in wales. Please help.
As a proud Welsh man, I have to say this was a fantastic video, it's amazing when tourists jump in and explore Welsh culture, helps put us on the world stage. Diolch
Can't wait to visit and see Wales! There's some weird connection and feeling drawing me towards that country. In my previous life I feel like I must had been a Welsh archer back in the medieval times or something haha :D Whenever my football team is out of the competition, Welsh is the second one I root for! Cheers from Croatia!
And the sheep as your profile picture is a nice touch
If you are visiting Wales, definitely visit Newport, Cardiff or South Wales in general.
@@corestudios1772 definitely not Newport City anywhere but there 😂😂 go up the road to Blaenavon big pit or something instead
When visiting wales the Gower peninsula is a must, the coast lines are second to none 👍
I have Welch ancestors and Wales is on my bucket list!
Welshman here. GPS on you phone will still work. Download copilot. Save you a few quid. Please do come though, it is a beautiful and friendly place.
I live in Mid-Wales and I just loved your video. From some of the other comments from your Welsh viewers, you can see we accept rain as a small price to pay for a beautiful landscape. Glad you all enjoyed your stay in the Brecons.
I took a day trip to Wales years ago when I was visiting England and fell in love with Cardiff! Now the super busy city vacations don't feel as enticing as a secluded cabin in the country with access to a little village and some beautiful sights. Thanks for selling me on this, Mark, now to go convince my partner that Wales should get priority over Norway in our international travel plans!
Omg yessss
Note: go to Dan yr Ogof
And St Fagans, their classic places we go on trips.
boiwhybother st fagans omggg
I been to St Fagans about 8 times in primary.
I have been to St f 10 times I am only in year 4 as well
Especially with the new museum at st Fagans, Caerleon is great too and the best archaelogical guess for the base of king Arthur.
Went to Dan Yr Ogof caves today because it was 36 degree there today and it's stunning!!Love my country so much, always puts me in awe ♥
Diolch yn fawr am vid yma Wolter. Diddorol ag addysgiadol. CYMRU AM BYTH

Cytuno'n llwyr. Cymru yw'r gorau. Cymru am byth!!!!!!
Dwin cytuno. CYMRU AM BYTH 🏴
My favourite part when tourists start coming to Wales is hearing people trying to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrdrobwyllanteseilio gogogoch. Always makes my day!😂
_Anna_ Fflur_ dame brightens my day
Its actually hilarious😂😂 trying to watch people translate it to is the funnies thing ever🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂
Diolch is an amazing word though
_Anna_ Fflur_ Oh Thats really a place? 🤣
Kiraz Lane yup!!😂
You'll be fine with speaking English but, like every country, we really appreciate people trying. Please, thank you and excuse me are really not hard to pronounce. Welsh is a beautiful sounding language :)
I'm Welsh . It's really good for mountain biking
It is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful. I love the pride that the people have. I cant imagine being able to see those sights daily.
Love all this. I'm a descendent of Welsh ancestors. The scenic, rule environment appeals to me. I used to raise Hampshire sheep like the ones shown in this video. Thank you!
No vowels? We have 7! W and Y are vowels in Welsh. We have words without consonants 😂😂😂
It was once the language of the UK
A,e,i,o,u,w,y you mean?
Yes we do. Even english borrows ours sometimes; 'myth' 'why' 'mystery' 'pyramid' 'python' etc.
Alice Ribeiro, I was so tickled to learn why "sometimes Y and W" is part of learning American vowels!! Understanding that made sounding out Welsh words so much easier and made me appreciate our own English more!
You also seem to have words that are several sentences long. Just without the full stops at places inside them.
The Welsh language is lovely when you hear it spoken. The word "Cwtch" (pronounced Coo tch) is the best Welsh word. It's a cuddle or hug like you get from a parent or Grandparent. The fuzziest of warmest hugs.
On a different note, have a look at the You Tube channel Kinging It. 2 Welsh kids doing the travel vlog thing but a tad different from yourself. They did a few videos around Wales too.
Where I live people say ku t ch
sounds like coochie
yeah...that's not how it's said
Only a southern thing. 🙄. I went to the north and they do not use it there.
Sian Dyas - what’s that supposed to mean? I live in North Wales, have done for 33 years and I’m welsh, I speak welsh as do most people who live here?! You ever been to NORTH Wales?
Idk y this was reccomend to me like I live in Wales so.....
Lmao same
"Why did you come to Wales in the fall when it's cold and wet? come in the summer, when it's warm and wet."
And more hours of daylight
“There’s not a sheet of rain waiting for you at the border” as someone who lives in Shrewsbury, I can confirm that is in fact situated at least 9 miles away from The border
Wales is an amazing place with many friendly and helpful people and so many wonderful sights to see both historical and natural, you will be amazed at what variety there is packed into such a relatively small country. If you ever get the chance to visit, please do not let it pass you by!
... Unless of course you are English. If you are, you will be made to feel most unwelcome, subjected to derision and extreme racism. Depending on where you go you are likely to experience extreme hostility in the form of violence!. So, if you are English, and if you absolutely must go there?..... Be aware , and take care!.
8:02 Welsh cakes are amazing, i highly recommend them.
Yep I can't tell if I like scones or Welsh cakes more though.
@@bobman3093 is it a Welsh cake with butter or no? 🤔
Alice Ribeiro no
As a Welshman I really don't like Welshcakes. They're too sugary.
I love Welsh cakes with proper salted butter.
Thank you, I have been waiting for this my whole life!! 🙌🏻
Another important don't is also, don't speed on the animal commons, stick to the speed limit otherwise you will collide with a sheep. Also, don't forget about horseriding, there are some great facilities in the countryside. Have fun in Wales!
I'm British and I forget to note the pub table number all the time.
I’m from Wales and I have to say, you nailed this. Every point is legit and you have been completely respectful.
Wales is a beautiful country and deserves more tourism. It’s less about notable places here and more about nature.
About learning to speak Welsh, even I don’t even know it and i grew up in Wales.
Totally agree about never calling us English. We really don’t want like it and find it disrespectful but we do understand if it was done innocently.
Hi, I m. An Indian coming to wales for four days, can u please tell me which is the best place to stay so that I can see maximum places in wales, please guide
I find lots of overseas visitors just don't get Wales but you absolutely nailed it. I think you have summed us up beautifully!!
Thank you for this video. I'm Welsh and proud of it. You are spot-on with what you say. Thank you for reminding me about the amazing place I live - it's easy to take it for granted when it's all around you.
I'm from south Wales, so glad you enjoyed your time in our country! Talking about the weather, one of our jokes goes along the lines of "I love summer in Wales, last year it was on a Tuesday!"
Hi, I m. An Indian coming to wales for four days, can u please tell me which is the best place to stay so that I can see maximum places in wales, please guide
I found the Welsh to be extremely friendly. Our trip there was wonderful and I really would like to go back. It is such a beautiful place.
Mark, your guides are just the best! Clear, informative and well researched and delivered with great charm. Great job!
Hi, I m. An Indian coming to wales for four days, can u please tell me which is the best place to stay so that I can see maximum places in wales, please guide
i was just about to say "the natives will talk to you" when you mentioned it yourself, we are not lunatics or serial killers just genuine people lol.
Don’t mention brexit!
whatxit?
breakfast? mmm waffles
charlie cheeseface What democracy lol.
@charlie cheeseface truth! Westminster does not respect democracy. It totally disregarded the will of Scotland and northern Ireland and did it's usual, narcissistic self importance.
What's wrong with talking about Brexit
A great video, nicely done. Thanks for broadcasting Wales. I like your anecdotes, they are spot on, especially 'don't complain about the rain'!. A couple of notes though. After the Norman invasion, mercenaries were hired from across Europe and based along the Welsh border. They were to engage in a program of ethnic cleansing, clearing the hills, which lasted for hundreds of years. This is why there are so many castles. This is the history of England vs Wales. Ours is the oldest culture in the UK. When the Romans invaded, it was the (Welsh) Celts who gave the name 'Prydain' which gave the name 'Britain'. Even 'London' comes from a Welsh name! The English descended from the German, Scandinavian and French invaders 500 years later, and it's been rough on Celts ever since. I think you're right, if you do come here, try to get as far away from Cities as you can. There are stories everywhere. Every field has a name, every name has a story. Every story has a pint of beer waiting to accompany it. And do have a go at learning some words, it'll be an eye opener. Diolch, a hwyl fawr.
Wales, the best place on earth 🏴
agreed!
As a welshman I agree
As a fellow Welsh man, I have to say thank you so much for sharing such accurate and wonderfully described knowledge on our little country! You absolutely nailed it! Diolch!
Can’t believe you actually acknowledged Wales. Here in Swansea was the first place in the uk to have a Denny’s!!
Denny's is awful just go to harvester up liberty stadium or you are better off at Sainsburys
I remember watching the Perseid meteor shower when I was in Wales. Never has the sky been so mesmerising
I'm Welsh and clicked on this expecting it to be bad, I'm from SW Wales so been to/driven through the beacons so many times - was about 40 mins from where I grew up. Wolter you have been 100% correct and I respect you for it.
The reason for the rain is the UK gets moist warm air from the US via the gulf stream and when it hit's the UK it drops it as rain on the west coast. Ireland will get it worse as it's west of the UK.
Big respect from a Welshman. Thanks for giving our country some air time and really knowing your stuff too!
Wales looks so beautiful and peaceful! It always caught my attention, and I even started learning a little bit of Welsh. Hope I can go visit it soon!
wait do other countries not have the switch on the plugs lmao. it’s the norm here in wales
Love your videos! I'm English and live close to The North Wales border. We holiday and visit often as we have family there and I'm hiking it's 900 mile coast path at the moment, which is stunning!!
You're certainly right about the Welsh language, it's so difficult, I'm trying hard to learn it at the moment. You give some very good advice to tourists and I love how you view things. Thanks for posting.
Fair play pal. As a Welshman I just wanted to say that this video was spot on! Great work! Great video!😁 👍🏴
Thank you. My ancestors came from there. Will be visiting within next year or two.
So lush & Green .. Beautiful 🌳🌿🍃
Purple Palms . Yep, that’s what the amount of rain we have does. Keeps us lush! 🏴
Nice to see something on Wales for once. I really enjoyed this, you hit the nail on the head with almost everything here!
Greetings from Wales! I’ve watched some of your videos before trips and this just popped up on my feed. Great vid and great tips! So glad you enjoyed our beautiful country x
I am Welsh, and living in Wales. Love your video, you are spot on with our language.. even I struggle with it ! But to be fair we have fought very hard to keep our language alive and in use, I just wish the Celtic languages were easier to learn 😁
just wanted to say a thank you for pointing out the difference between Wales and England. As a Welsh person myself there's not much else more frustrating than being called English by people who don't do some background recerch
I'm English your 💯 correct 👍
Wales is no more England than it's Mongolia.
@@Pocockablethere isn't that much difference. You don't have even have a separate legal system, it's the law of England and Wales 😊
Even the Scottish have their own jurisdiction 😊
It's frustrating seeing people who can't spell research
@@Nofurtherquestions and you feel the need to mention that on a 4 year old comment?
Thanks for visiting Wales and for the great review. Glad you all had a great time.
You’re videos are always fantastic, I always enjoy them!
I will add that England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are four distinct countries, we have similarities that connect us together under the banner of the United Kingdom, but there are also vast differences between us as well.
Great content! I would say a lot of these apply to more rural parts of the whole UK too!
A Wales vs England mistake will just earn you mockery in the more cosmopolitan areas like the south or the coast but in mid/north Wales and on the border it's a very real thing
rydych chi'n scrailing !!! @Book Worm
Nicely put together Wolter. Thank you.
I love your commentary on my country! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and all the sights here. Please come again - I promise it doesn't rain all the time!
As a Welshman this is generally good advice. It doesn't rain that much! but we do complain about when it does and it's ok to complain about it. Driving on the single track roads, the 'lanes', generally just stop when someone comes towards you, the local will reverse and get out of the way, but they might give you a funny look if there is a passing place right behind you and they would have to reverse all the way up a hill, wave to say thanks, it's appreciated. What's wrong with Cymraeg [Welsh]? Sure you don't have to use it, but if you have some spare time to learn a few words like 'Diolch' [Thanks] it is appreciated. Enjoy your visit if you come to Wales and the dont's one and two are really important. Wales and England are separate countries, please remember that and remember not to wake the dragons!
A very accurate video. Wales IS a beautiful place and the people are nice as well. Seriously worth a visit and don't worry about the rain - it's why Wales is so green. The West coast is gorgeous and as well the places he mentioned, oh, do give St Davids a visit if you can. It's the UK's smallest city (pop 1400) and has a stunning ancient cathedral. Enjoy.
Thank you brother, we love visitors like you that take notice and respect our culture, visitors like you are always welcome and will be made at home in Wales.
Hi, I m. An Indian coming to wales for four days, can u please tell me which is the best place to stay so that I can see maximum places in wales, please guide
As a Welsh person I can guarantee that if you call us English, complain about rain or insult our languageyou will get an earful! We are not english, the rain gives us all our beautiful greenery and our language is amazing!
God's country! come visit and enjoy our walks and views
I'm English and I love the Welsh language. I'm trying to learn it on duolingo.
Languages are always easier the younger you are taught them I can speak fluent welsh but when I try to learn a third language I fail miserably
I'm an English speaker learning Welsh on Duolingo too :)
Rwyf yn siarad yn cymraeg
Da iawn a diolch i ti Conway79
@@justaretardwithinternetacc2859 I speak seven languages, and I put it down to growing up bilingual, and especially to the Welsh language which I found bridged the gap perfectly
Have lived in Wales and i must say you give very accurate information on your posts. I have also watched several of your travel posts like Turku, etc. Very informative! Welldone!
Love your video! I found it very helpful as a starting point for my research on possibly moving to Wales. Good job!
It’s 33 degrees rn I’ve never been so happy this is nearly unheard of for wales😂
Thank you for mentioning these points. Especially that Wales is its own country. We are very proud of being Welsh😊 x
