Nah, that's me always. Will just take some getting used to the camera.

Quote:Try to convey that in the video - the one moment where you said "How ya doing'" to the guy going by near the back of the market (where the trash heap was) - that vibe can go a long way.

I will, Man.

Roger that.

Thanks, Man. I will hit you up. Let me work on getting it polished on my own first, as this was the first day and just playing with it to see how it goes. I will definitely come knocking when I need a pro push in the right direction, though - appreciate all the great tips!

Cool videos BB, I look forward to seeing some more.

Thanks, Guys. I probably should have taken this to a thread. Don't want to hog the space in the everything goes section - just thought starting a thread for my own youtube channel might be a bit too self-serving and was throwing it out there because it's travel-related.

Anyhow, I see some of you subscribed and got some cool messages and even an offer to help cut videos. The support is much appreciated. I ran out of space quick on my walk this morning so I think I'll have to get a real camera (and teach my chick how to follow along shooting footage haha).

In LA a few days, for work, staying in a huge, if somewhat old fashioned looking, suite at Sheraton Universal (thanks free upgrades, check the travel thread /shamelessplug/), with Chinese Kate Upton in the shower getting ready for bed (most asians shower at night before bed, in my experience).

This is actually a pretty great girl. Not changing my plans at all, but this girl is definitely someone else's keeper. Doctor mom, University prof. father, pays for her own shit, fun and compliant in the sack. And god, that rack and that ass, in this sweet little innocent cute package.

I may have to clone myself. Dislodging is not going to be easy or enjoyable.

Girl looks incredible naked (like a Chinese Kate Upton, seriously, her rack is unworldly and despite being thin with milky white skin (really like a baby), she has an ass like an African girl), and there was no resistance last night. Hamster must have died on the wheel.

She complained via text this AM about being sore. I'm already set, so I'm not looking at LTR, but as she lives in LA, and I travel there often for work, and I'm waiting on visa shit, its just someone to fill the time. But wow. And like many chinese girls I've "experienced" she is inexperienced, but she's willing and compliant.

Except this one is 22, and she hasn't definitely decided to work out. I met her by cold-approaching her at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, back in November, and chatting her up a little with my broken Chinese. I knew she was coming to Sundance as part of her program through a large midwestern university (she's interning with a major LA distributor as part of the same program).

As I said, 22, 167cm, huge tits and a round ass, and big lips. Pretty much perfect. But getting so many mixed signals from this girl, who lets me put my hands all over her, came over to my condo several times to hang out, lie spooned on the couch together or on my bed. And I still haven't kiss closed this girl, but I've felt up those glorious globes multiple times, along with her ass.

She just finished a screening and told me she wants to come over - "we have to talk." I told her she can, but this is just so strange. She texted me to take it slow, be friends, she's not sure (I'm sure that I want to see her naked, and I don't really have to be sure about anything else). She knows I am double her age, she's seen my DHV all Sundance long around people who are kissing my ass a little, or getting into parties and screenings that are tough tickets. I understand Chinese women well, but I'm a bit befuddled by this one.

Boom, she's taken a cab and now she's here.

Yeah that's typical for her group. You should know that if you get that bang it's only because she finally figures you to have something of very high value to be willing to push all the chips in on the table. Funny thing about Chinese women is when they hit 23 or 24, they drop the giggling cock teasing bullshit. I don't know what it is, but getting one under that age to do anything is like pulling teeth. Actually I do know why, but that would make this post longer.

Just keep humoring her and see if you can break her in. If you can she is probably worth a LTR and trophy piece for at least a good while. She might even be high end quality for a wife, but lets not go that far yet. Sometimes the skittish 18-22 crowd is worth the effort, especially if you have other prospects. You being double her age means nothing. Young Chinese women have a saying/parable, "You better treat me nice, otherwise I won't let you marry my daughter."

Yah think? Its lifelong, so its not a fever. Its chronic.

I just banged out this 18 yr old in Santiago DR that I met off cupid.

Afterward she started asking me these paranoid questions like how many people have I met online, if I'm serious about having a relationship, etc. I then turned those questions on her, and she said she met one guy online before me. It was October or November of last year and she met him at Hotel Matum, and after they hooked up he left her in the lobby and she saw him escort another chick from her taxi to his room.

Since Hotel Matum seems to be a popular hotel on this forum, I'm fairly certain it was one of you guys. Curious to know who.

I love how women have the gall to hold men to higher standards than themselves.

I'm not into slut shaming personally...but it's like these girls forgot the world they live in has a lovely double standard.

Men are applauded for sleeping around. Women who do so are looked down upon in practically every society on this planet.

Have been pipelining a dimepiece Filipina lately from FC. Great voluptuous figure. I mean big tits, great ass, hourglass shape...not what fat western girls call "voluptuous". This girl is a solid 7 in my book. If she was younger she'd be an 8.

So I asked her what she was doing for Valentine's day.

Her answer? Going to see 50 Shades of Grey at the cinema.

Damn you Hollywood, you are going to corrupt them all!

Post: #2663

A dimepiece that's a 7? How does that work?

haha Just giving you shit.

BB, you must know by now that The Scale™ only goes up to 7 in SEA.

After a week back home, returning from a 17 months trip in Thailand and the Philippines, I'm officially depressed. I thought it would be good to be back home, to get some time to focus on other things except chasing girls. I can tell you it's not. The weather is shit. To look at someone you don't know is not accepted and smile at a strange? Forget about that.

I can't relate to my old friends at all. It's like we are from different world. No one has changed, not at all. Everyone and everything is the exactly the same as I left it. Girls online and on apps are fucking rude. Might have a bang incoming on Sunday from a girl who's a six at the best. And at the same time I'm still receiving messages from girls in Thailand. Didn't hit up any clubs yet but hope to do it next weekend. I think it's true what they say that the only time Swedish and Scandinavian people in general can be social is when they've been drinking.

My plan is to make as much money as possible in six months then get the fuck out of here. I have absolutely no intention of spending my life here, not now and not in the future.

To guys who are full time overseas; don't go home unless you absolutely need to.

There is even a medical term for it, post-vacation blues .


In the fall I'm planing either to go back to SEA and do Jakarta - Ho Chi Minh - Phnom Phen -Mandalay

or do South America (Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile) to learn Spanish

or do East Asia (Japan, China, HK, Taiwan)

However SEA looks like the best bet right now, East Asia would be to expensive I could only do a short trip and South America also sounds expensive and unsafe... But still got time to decide.

I've grown so much as a human during my time away I can't even put words on it.

Post: #2666

I have felt pretty much the same when I went back home after a similar period of time and many friends of mine went through the same.

It is hard to get back to a mediocre life after living your dream.

Usually it gets better after a few weeks/months and you will get (more or less) used to all this bullshit. Personally I couldn't even make it for a full month and was back in Asia before I could even get started to be depressed. I still like going home, but only with the intention of visiting my friends and family. Before the reality starts to get me, I will make sure to be back on the road.

Why not start with working online now? You could already prepare yourself from Sweden or just lend some money and come back to Thailand. Live can be cheap here if it has to be and the desire not to be stuck at home will be enough motivation to make it! Then work your way up the ladder while still having a good time in Thailand and soon enough your location independent income will be sufficient for East Asia and South America.

Back on the airplane. Heading to Phu Quoc, a little beach island in the south of Vietnam, roughly 20km from Cambodia.

It's a pretty 'hidden' spot from what I've been told, and that it's a year or two away from showing up a bunch of bullshit travel blogs and being ruined.

Post: #2668

Jealous, Man. I've been wanting to check out Phu Quoc pretty bad, maybe as a living destination.

I think the tourism scene has definitely already showed up and begun to leave its mark, though. Bad because of the way the scene ravages but good in that there's internet! lol

Come hit Cambo next, eh...

Post: #2669

Well, what Satoshi is saying could pretty much come from my own mouth aswell.
There is nothing like playing the the post travel depression blues in Scandinavia after some time spent in SEA.

Libertad makes some good points also. Sometimes after some time spent abroad you start to make plans and looking forward to see friends and family again. Might be fun for a week or so, but after that the reality start bitchslapping you right in the face no matter how hard you try to resist it.
You were wrong, yeah right. You were wrong.
It fucking sucks. Again and again and again.
You are used to more things in life than that.

I have gone through what Satoshi is describing a few times and it's always the same song playing.
After a few weeks or a couple of months....

"I need to get out of this place"
" this is not the way I want to live"
Blah blah blah...

"Tickets booked"

I'm writing this since my flight back to Finland is departing early tomorrow morning.
Shit ton of bad things has happened at home during this month that I have to deal with now.
I know what's lurking around the corner once again...

May the force be with me.
A final solution has to be done.

Post: #2670

I quite like Phu Quoc.

Built up enough to have a tourist infrastructure, but hidden enough where the main tourist area is still quiet all things considered.

Seems popular with Russians, as many signs are in Russian, but nearly all the flights have been cancelled for the season due to the faltering Ruble. Wouldn't mind some Russian girls walking around though.

Compared with the north of Vietnam, it's so different here that I don't even feel like I'm in the same country.

I've been wathching your videos BB. It's great stuff. What I like especially is the melding of the RVF world and the world you show in your videos. References to the forum and forum guys makes it great.

My suggestions for you would be:

1. Try to keep them a similar length and not more than 10 minutes in length. Even if you post less videos because you have to do some editing, it will be better in my opinion.

2. If possible, try and have more on camera interactions with people. Even if you have gf translate. Human interaction makes videos much much more interesting (they are interesting as it is of course).

Keep up the good work.

If you want to get a good idea regarding what some other foreign based vloggers are doing check out serpentza on YouTube. He does it from China.

Post: #2672

Thanks, Man. Yeah, I have some footage of me bumping into and interacting with people on some of the days I already filmed. Still haven't gotten around to posting them.

I've been a bit hesitant about shoving my camera in people's faces, but I'll get more comfortable with it as I go, I imagine. Thanks for the feedback!

I will check the guy's videos out. To be honest, I never watch this type of shit, so I'm pretty in the dark here. I could surely benefit from studying what other people are doing.

Post: #2673

I like the videos. I do think keeping them under 10 minutes, preferably shorter even, would make them more watchable. And having more of a direct focus for each video. I.E. "This is a Cambodian breakfast", "Tour of downtown Siem Reap" and things like that.

I'd like to see more of the Cambodian gym. That could be one video itself. Just the gym tour and then end the video there.

Double B,
I remember people suggesting you a while ago to video scenes from daily life in Cambodia without you even talking or anything and you seemed adamant to that. Now, you've gone all in with not only audio but showing your face. Curious to know the reason behind it.

I enjoyed your videos man, very interesting as usual. Agreed with the boys that it would be best to keep your videos short and stick to one topic per video. Serpentza (the South African guy) doing videos on living in China from Shenzhen has built quiet a following. Of course, the gold standard is the boys from the elevatorlife. Perhaps you could become just like them, THE expert on Cambodia within a few months.

Some topic suggestions would be:
Cost of living for both bootstrapping and living comfortably there.
Visa requirements and ease of getting/extending your visa in Cambodia.
Ease of getting an apart.
Show some glimpse of the nightlife and the local talent.
Etc..

Keep up the awesome videos and content here coming man!
