I like to see a neighborhood walk around video for cities I am considering. Helps me get a better feel for a place that you can't get with specific clips at various attractions.

@ianwhittaker3041 Жыл бұрын

Great walking video, thanks guys! Would be great to get an update of your costs and monthly expenses, and if you’ve had to adjust your year budget accordingly due to inflation etc.. Great work thanks to you both 😀👍

I was just in Georgetown a few days ago for the day (cruise ship stop). Enjoyed seeing the same streets again. Twenty minutes is a good length for a walking video. Have been enjoying the variety of your content.👍

Thumbs up for walking tour. And the chance meeting with Mr N, sounds like a memory you'll both always treasure. Thank you for sharing with us.

We love the chatty walks, 40 mins is absolutely fine. If others don't like, put some YT shorts out that are 30 seconds long.

@danielle7292 Жыл бұрын

I prefer the shorter videos, even if you cut a 40 minute video in half and call it part 1 and part 2. This video brought back happy memories from our three weeks in Georgetown last December. Our original plans were to stay for Christmas but life got in the way. It would have been very interesting experiencing Chinese New Year there. Happy traveling 😃

I really liked this walk around video. Helps to get a feel for the location. A great addition to your other types of videos. Enjoyed!

Nice morning walkabout. These walkabout videos definitely have their value in providing a more accurate preview of a place. A great example is in one of the other comments here which mentioned he/she felt the place looked run down. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course. However, the point is this viewer gained some knowledge from this video that he/she may not have from videos that just jump from place to place. I recognize many of those spots. IMO, early morning is the best time to traverse the streets with a camera due to the light and lack of tourists. It also tends to be a bit cooler. One of my favorite things to do in Georgetown is duck into one of those local noodle shops early in the morning for breakfast. Safe travels my friends.

Hello to you both! Great work as always. We do really like the walking videos. The 20 minute mark seems to be a good time but we’d watch even if it was a bit longer. Looking forward to this years’ travels. Blessings

It’s always good interesting to drop in a walking tour of each place to give a feel and taste of the area. We were lucky enough to go to Penang in 2007 to tryout the food halls and visit the temples it is an amazing experience

@lplate1000 Жыл бұрын

What’s not to like. Insight on travels is always interesting for me. I am fortunate to be well travelled so far, but plenty of that has been tourist related rather than wandering to see the real insights on those locations. I think these compliment your main format very well.

Like to see the walk around videos gives a real sense of the area. OK with any length as long as it gives the full picture vs the clips of tourist sights.

@kirstenveneziano1205 Жыл бұрын

Loved this video, and the length was great. I think the video length should depend on where you're at and what you can see within a reasonable walking distance.

@timelston4260 Жыл бұрын

I like the shorter walkthrough videos; 20 minutes seems like a good length.

@ryanbooth8421 Жыл бұрын

Neil, I think the length of the video depends on what you have to show. If you keep it interesting and there are landmarks or points of interest you believe are entertaining then the time will just flow. By the way, I know you’ve only done two of these but you work well without a script as well. You have a nack for conversation and it will only get better the more you film these types of videos. Safe travels. 🤙

@peterv4533 Жыл бұрын

I don't think sticking to a rigid format or schedule is necessary. I would go with your gut feel - carry on until you think you have said enough (or your feet tell you that you have walked too far) or there is nothing left to see. Don't forget to pop in the occasional food video though 🙂 Hope you are feeling better Peter

@BlissfulDee Жыл бұрын

I like seeing a walk-around, but I admit I was hoping we'd see you reunited with Sarah at the end. About the scenery, well... it's not somewhere that appeals to me, as a lot of where you were walking seemed rather run-down and dirty to me - although a small part of it looked clean and nice. When you kept saying this or that was beautiful, I couldn't see it. Oh well, to each their own!

Prefer 15-20 minute videos. Also tell your routine when arriving into a new location. I understand you use Air BnB to start but how do you find long term accommodations and what are landlords requesting to provide as far as financials, deposit, etc. Considering spending 3 months at a time in spots around Thailand and Maylasia.

I think Penang if you know Birmingham Penang is a mixture of Alum rock Spark Brook soho Road Witton and China Town. To get decent hotels your looking at 100 pounds a night .this hotel 100 pounds plus no breakfast. Booze is ridiculously expensive. Wouldn't touch the street food definitely Wouldn't trust the hygiene.
