    Just checked out that hotel on Agoda and it’s $10 USD a night that is insane the bargain of the century.
    It really looks lavish and being a new Hotel you can’t go wrong.
    Was there a few years back and really wondered how they were going to sell all these condos in the fake Italian town they were building but it’s looking good and in 5 to 10 years will be packed .FU WALK is an amazing island on the north and south ends with the billion dollar resorts and amusement parks but like you say the actual down is really not scenic basically a fishing village.
    You really should take the record breaking cable car over the ocean there where you are nothing else like it in the world .

    Hello young man,
    I'll get straight down to business.
    As I know longer watch mainstream television CZcams is in fact now my only source of news and entertainment with travel in particular being one of my favourite topics of interest.
    I estimate there are probably around 40 or so vloggers similar to you but not necessarily as good.
    So,
    regarding you the presenter, location manager, producer, editor, director of photography and tea boy :) do not change a thing.
    However, regarding content, when you do stay in nice interesting places but in very low budget hotels no harm asking to see and show the room, facilities and prices of better hotel options nearby just like you did on this occasion although you did stay there and I must say it looked very nice.
    Likewise regarding any night time entertainment which may not be your cup like a crowded noisy bar for example please still show it where you can like in the background or something when you are sitting down for example eating some delicious street food.
    To promise to put out any regular content is surely adding unnecessary pressure and could easily have you posting nothing in particular crap just for the sake of it.
    Regards,
    a new subscriber

    hi Rich ,like i said before mate don't get to the stage where you feel like the vlogs are becoming a chore because then the enthusiasm that you have will be lost , you're enthusiasm is what makes this channel so refreshing. As for categorising a new channel to as you say ( food ,markets, hotel prices) absolutely mate great idea. Its only my opinion but id love you to do more vlogs on just riding around when you're looking for content, for me that gives a view of every day life in the countryside and communities, only my thoughts mate, whatever you decide me and my mates that ive introduced to the channel will be watching you all the way. last comment ,what a gaff mate you're staying in now, and you nicked it for that money mate top man,as always onwards and upwards

      Hi Richard, sorry I rushed and never I explained myself properly in the vlog I had so much on my mind. The new channel will be solely based on food and markets. There will be nothing taken away from this channel at all. The only difference will be is it won’t be a lot of the same things over and over again. There will still be food but different to the new channel. I will address this while on another vlog in Can Thon. Thanks for your patience I will iron this out mate.

Just a thought, is there any way you could send the raw footage to a mate in the UK ( when you have fast internet )and they edit it and upload it to CZcams, giving you more time to travel and research your trip? Because it doesn't really matter if you are a few days behind as long you are consistent.

      I think four days a week will work well so I’m not digging for content. Some places it’s just not possible, it’s being too long now. Good idea though mate. I’m not going to limit it to short vlogs through the week I’ve reconsidered that. All vlogs will be 40-60mins depending on locations etc hopefully. Cramming in more to each vlog I think will make it a better viewing experience.
