The trash is so unfortunate and really needs to be taken care of. However, I heard that depending on the weather (monsoon, etc.) it can bring in more trash. But still, they should figure a way to remove the trash at such beautiful locations as it ruins it for me when I'm marveling at mother nature's splendor only for it to be marred by trash everywhere. And for places like Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, and Ha Giang Loop, etc., a drone is a MUST. I thought the drone shots really added to the video. :)
@StephandPete 2 жыл бұрын
It’s a bummer for sure but certainly not unique to Vietnam unfortunately! I think if we didn’t have a two year old we’d have justified a drone by now, but honestly I already have too many things to keep up with and what feels like no time to set up shots or use a drone. But it sure would be fun and enhance our videos…I agree!

Another Great video c: I think this was actually one of your better edited videos? It flows really well at least. Sorry I didn't watch right away, I caught covid a few days ago😭 Terrible headache and dizziness at first but im ok now. I've been given medication. It's really funny that you had the drone thing this video because in the last video I recorded before getting covid, I bought a drone! xD I'm really excited to try and get some good footage with it. I want to use it especially around the traditional Korean temples etc because I'm sure they'll look amazing. Great video as always ^~^
@StephandPete 2 жыл бұрын
Ahhh, so sorry you caught Covid! Hope you're on the mend. I regret not getting a drone earlier in our travels...we've been so many places that would have been cool from that perspective. Can't wait to see what you've captured in Korea. We're toying with coming back in August or so, if we can swing it. We miss it a lot! Thanks for watching! Funny...I thought this one was a bit sloppy as I'm in a hurry to get caught up so I'm not so far behind, because it's so much more fun to release them while we're still in the country and can get feedback, recommendations, etc.

@@StephandPete I'm getting better. The first 24 hours were horrible but honestly the symptoms went mostly pretty fast. hopefully I'll be fully better in a few days. You should have got a drone in Yongsan! I got the brand new DJI mini 3 because it seems like the perfect drone for me, especially when I already use the pocket. Only 1 million KRW in Yongsan (probably alot cheaper than most places). If you do come back, I'd love to see you guys for a few hours somewhere! I would definitely find some fun recommendations for places to visit! perhaps outside of seoul. I still really want to go to that water park in Yesan Splas Resom, and I know kelly wants to go to a water park somewhen too so that'd be alot of fun. I'm sure hayes would love something like that c: Or if we go somewhere where we can use the drone I'll happily share the footage with you if you have a laptop to put it onto or something. I can definitely see the appeal of uploading closer to the time to get peoples feedback and thoughts on things to do while you're in a place. If I had a larger audiance I think I'd be pressured to do the same.

I’m conflicted, I want Steph and Pete to have a drone too…but I also want to watch five minutes of will or won’t the fisherman’s bucket get stuck. Go forward, stylistically compatible ? I don’t know. Oh, and all of sudden, to me, Hays went from baby/toddler to full on little boy.
@StephandPete 2 жыл бұрын
Certainly not mutually exclusive! Can you imagine if we combined the two? KZfaq stardom! 😂😂😂 I want a drone so bad but know as soon as I purchased one I’d be kicking myself for not having it months ago. Hays has grown soooo much and talks non stop these days. Which is mostly cute. Occasionally very obnoxious if I’m honest. 🙃

more lucky than we was with Pegasus cruise.. The room was tiny, and the food was awful, only seafood, even though we said we didnt like that in advance.. Not even pommes frites was possible to get. The wurst experience i had on my Vietnam trip.. And the water was polluted ! This was september 2022... But you atleast got a bigger boat, and food looks good actually.. Good to see others can enjoy this trip, cause we coulndt.. Still hope less people take these boats, to save the invirement.
