As someone who was born in Lisbon (but came to Canada as an infant), and went back many times, I felt sad that it became so "Westernized". I fear that this will happen to Madeira also. I know people love to have much variety , but it erodes the uniqueness of anywhere. I have a friend who went to Portugal due to my prodding, then went to Madeira and loves it much more. She returns every Jan & Feb there=and loves it. I think you do great at presenting things, so I have subscribed and look forward to more videos.

I would appreciate more specific price ranges if possible

We were on the beach in Phuket that morning just an hour before, lucky I was called back to Bangkok because of work. Very nice video Joe.

Lao food is so under-rated, and imho better than Thai food. Its like a notch above in every respect....hot is hotter, the sour more so, and add to that the bitterness. Bitterness is often an unknown quality in world cuisine, and Lao food does it so perfectly which I surprisingly love love love. My faves are the bitter tripe soup and bitter laab.

I was on the day shift in Australia and as I work in TV broadcasting I was seeing the news reports coming in almost immediately. Was hoping for a quiet day of watching cricket. The issue with people standing and watching what happened, is that we have lost our collective knowledge regarding nature.

That was the most informative video i watched. When exactly did you visit mestia? I am about to visit the place myself in mid march. Im so excited. I hope it is as snowy as it has been for you.

In 2001 I spent a week in Khao Lak, it was pretty quiet place to be, got dive certified there and really fell in love with it so waking up to the news of the Tsunami broke my heart. Here in the States, not many people had ever heard of Khao Lak but so many were shocked by the devastation and loss of life in such an otherwise tranquil place. I got in touch with our local Red Cross chapter to see what I could do and include our community in helping in some small way. I organized a Thai dinner at our local Community center and as usual our community rose to the occasion. Our local businesses donated the money for the food, volunteers came and helped with the cooking, serving and clean up. We fed 150 people Masaman curry, cucumber salad, Jasmine rice and a mango shortcake with homemade coconut ice cream as well as sold Singha beer. We raised 2500.00 USD for the Red Cross that night that went directly to the efforts in Khao Lak, a drop in the bucket in the big scheme of things but every bit always helps. I brought my family back there in 2008, spent a week there and we were pleasantly surprised by how much had been rebuilt, sadly the bungalow operation I had stayed at previously had not been rebuilt and word was it wasn't going to be but all in all I was happy to see the progress in that special place. Thank you for your reminder and well-done tribute to all those who lost their lives that horrific day.

I was in Salalah in southern Oman at the Hilton hotel and it was hit by the tail end of the tsunami. The winds and waves hitting the hotel were very frightening all night long. The following week I flew emirates airline holidays to Phuket (pre booked) to the Laguna resort there. It was very quiet and surreal for the 10 days I was there. The locals were devastated yet rebuilt their small businesses back. 🙏🏻

This was one of your best videos. Thank you so much, Happy holidays xxx.

😥🙏 Hi Joe, you would be correct that if one person started running, the rest would surely have follow. May their souls rest in peace.

Tell you what, everyone now knows when the next time the ocean recedes , they will know what to do. Merry Christmas to you and your family 💓

First comment! That was rather poignant Joe, fair dues to you for covering it & reminding us all about it as I'd completely forgotten this had happened 20 years ago. Have an amazing Christmas & all the best for 2025 my friend 🤗🎅 See you at my live premiere tonight at 9pm if you've nothing better to do! 🤣

Thank you Joey for visiting Laos.

Good morning from California ☀️ That looks just amazing 🙌 Great video 👍 Happy Travels !!! E

Khao piek sen is better than a bowl of pho

Omg it's amazing 10, I hope Iwe can still see it when we arrive 😊

That was splendid indeed Joseph 🙂 Shame you had to cut out all the parts when you had to stop & sign autographs for both locals & tourists alike! 😋 By the way it's great to see you've availed of time travel & captured the lights from 2025 (as mentioned in video's on screen title at the beginning)! 😝 With the great dynamic range I guess you were using you Lumix? It did an amazing job keeping the noise clean & the image sharp, but shame you didn't use a gimbal as I'd loved to have seen a bit more stability. I think this Christmas walking tour is beating the lot of them made for 2024 for fair dues to you! Feliz Natal to you my friend & all the best for 2025 🤗

If the noodle with clear broth is already delicious, I don’t add any condiment because i want to eat the original deliciousbess, not turn it into Tom Yam flavor all the time
