Careful with the Turkey veneers, if its the 1's where they file down your teeth to stubs, you should really reconsider, especially because your natural teeth are still really good. If it's the ones they file down ever so slightly then I suppose it could be ok, still dont' understand why you would do it though with such good healthy natural teeth.
There is nothing wrong with your teeth. I feel like someone told you your teeth are bad, it's all in your head. It's a Waste of your time, money, and you better pray it works out for you. Don't fix's what's not broken.
LOL what could possibly go wrong? A dental clinic in Turkey. Jesus....
The horror stories about dental work in Turkey are countless overhere in Europe. People only have one motivation to go to Turkey and that is the costprice , but sooner then later the shitty job will cost you a lot more to fix more or less the damage that has been done.
There is nothing wrong with your teeth. Your smile is perfect right as it is. I think your making a HUGE mistake going to Turkey. Don't do it!!!
Don't need to fix it if it ain't broken. Please research the long term risks.
I agree it’s all a scam in 10 years time all these people who had work done will regret it when their original teeth are rotten. The damage they do is unrepairable it’s just a quick fix.
I had dental work done in Da Nang . $1,400. I was quoted $12,000 in Canada. Great job. I heard Turkey is great also. People spread rumors that it’s bad. Not true
Don't they file down your original teeth for ven
neers? It doesnt make sense when you have nice teeth already IMO
"hamster-looking thing?" Dude have you never seen a squirrel before?
They dont exist in Australia
@@1q2w3e60 That's no excuse!
I also found that funny, because in Canada Squirrels are everywhere 🐿
Not in Australia where he is from! But they are cute
@@1q2w3e60 yes they certainly do but probably not many in morley in Western Australia
Live in Bangkok and here is what I like better about Saigon....more walkable and easier to get around, better craft beer scene, coffee of course, pampering barber shops, a bit cheaper, good food and the Vietnamese Sheilas may be the best in Asia. Will say the malls in Bangkok are much better. This Yank did contribute to the barber shops multiple times. Cheers!
Great feedback mate, I must agree with you on most of those points. Good on ya for visiting the barbers ✌️
There's nothing wrong with your teeth mate! Don't do it. PLEASE. FYI i've had an implant in Thailand and I have nerve damage where the dentist drilled too deep. Be very careful! Number one rule if you have natural teeth and no problems then dont fix what isnt broken....
Your teeth already look really good and natural. I wouldn't get them all drilled in the front and damage them for life, don't need that headache.
100 percent agree. My dentist here in HK is horrified by the number of patients he's now seeing who had structurally very sound teeth that from an aesthetic perspective could have benefited from a professional whitening or if the teeth had a few chips etc some composite bonding at most, but instead have gone to Thailand or Vietnam and had their natural teeth filed down to pegs and 20 plus crowns fitted. ( Although their patient often call them veneers because they weren't even properly aware of the difference)
He says he's having to do root canals and all sorts for these people as decay sets in underneath the crown. Crowns are a last resort for teeth that have already had a lot of fillings placed or root canals, not for healthy teeth to make them look Hollywood. It's madness
Esquire is one of the few youtuber who stays real.Keep it real man!
It's called a squirrel!
haha ok, cheers mate 👍🏻
@@EsquireUnlimited was thinkin the same, "hamster lookin thing" all that world travel and now squirls?
We don't have squirrels in Aussieland that's why he didn't recognise what it was !
@@stevethepom that’s surprising, considering all the exotic wildlife you have. He’s probably happy to see an animal that won’t kill him.
Correct lol😂
Great video mate you looking well👍😊
I've also noticed that you seldom see Aussies or other Caucasians going for a legit massage. They're really missing out and I make point of a very regular massage. So good for the body and mind.
Shopping malls in Ho Chi Minh City: the Upbeat Takashimaya Saigon Center, Landmark 81, Vincom Center on Dong Khoi street…to name a few
I wouldn’t go all the way to a foreign country just to go to a mall😂
Another Gr8t Vlog Mate love the casual style and free flow, makes me think I'm there as well enjoying the atmosphere.
Really enjoying the vibe from this video Esquire 👍
Saigon is definitely rising on my to do list, after I retire the end of next year…
I could definitely see myself spending a month walking down some of those alleys, and narrow streets.
I’m wondering, do you ever get any sideways looks when you call it Saigon, and not Ho Chi Minh City, or do the locals call it Saigon as well?
Uncle Ho as he was called was loved by the whole country as he gave free land to 20 million peasants after the war. They farmed and had a free home. If the south would have won the war, the land owners would charge them rent and they would be working for the landowners.
Gday mate! I spent 2 1/2 years in Thailand back in the mid 70’s so I enjoy your travels, it brings back a lot of good memories.
Current teeth in excellent condition and look great with zero risk. Go to Turkey and maybe theyll still loom good but there is the risk they will look bad or stupid. Do not do it man. Think if the guy in something in mary that got his teeth capped 😂
Where is your Lady mate ? Hope you not left her in behind?
personally don’t see nothing wrong with your teeth…don’t do it man
Don’t go to turkey mate, you already have perfect teeth.
omg, that apartment is less than I pay in property tax. I really think I might take up your lifestyle.
A lot of malls there. Aeon mall, in various districts. Saigon centre 7 min walk from Ben thanh market. Crescent mall in district 7. Van hanh mall in district 10.
Vietnam looks stunning. Hopefully there in 2025, gonna hop over from the Philippines. I've been intrigued by Vietnam since I watched that Michael Caine movie, "The Quiet American" decades ago. Also everything I've seen on the podcasts from various peoples' trips there. Thanks for the vlog it was great ! Good to hear the update on J-Lo Jane. I think she is nice and a keeper. I wouldn't think twice about the age difference in Southeast Asia. The heart is all that matters and that girl has a lot of heart you can tell.
Esquire buddy, how are you keeping? Would have Sparky of you, but too small for the streets of Liverpool England.😂 mustwholesome memories for you back in the day looks good where you are, but not like the Bangla Road, Phuket or walking street Patea is it a lot cheaper where you are then Thailand…dose it get busy in the evening with the Sheila’s be careful in turkey’s dentists some great results back in England but some horror stories😎👍
Great Video ! Cannot wait to watch it all tonight ! A+
Turkey teeth not always good
Mostly bad unfortunately
I’m in Uk many people go there and regret it
But hopefully you will be lucky
Always wanted to go there. I atually have a Vietnamise friend here in Manila, Philippines, will get some advice if or when I plan to go there. He does say the ladies are better there but that might be because he cant seem to get a lady here lolololol.
I'm glad youre getting more regular again, other than the vegan stuff, I find these videos very interesting.
Good Day LJ.......That is the way just go out there and let the video Free Flow!
It makes so we are with you live!
one thing : SONT LET THEM PUT VENEERS ON YOURE TEETH it will look good for a while but they damage youre teeth
you seen to have healthy teeth just discoloured from youre diet and coffee
even if there realy good veneers cover youre teeth and softens the natural glaze surface of the teeth , they roughen the surface up to have the adhesive stick too the toot
you allso cannot brush the surface of the teeth ans the veneers are covering them
maibe have them do a checkup and bleach youre teeth , veneers are good when you have bad teeth and as an intermediate solution before getting inplants
Nice to see you back in my fav city. I go up there a bit from NZ as I sponsor some 'street kid' type projects there. Love it❤
That’s good!
Do you have internet in your apartment? What is the upload and download speeds and monthly cost $$
Yes, I did mention wifi was included. Vietnam internet is very good. I uploaded this very video (around 9Gb) to RUclips in about 25 minutes!
Hi mate - actually you do a clip of the main Saigon Mall @ 5:21 (Saigon Centre)... there are a couple of others, like VINCOM and D2 has a big Mall, but even though Vietnam is my favourite SE Asia country, they cannot compare to Malaysia, Philippines or Thailand when it comes to Malls.
Yes, when you get ready to settle down you really should choose the phillipines.. If Davao wasnt to your liking(too primitive), try cebu city and then manila.. As far as phillipine women, you cant do much better in S.E asia. Their english is on par and they are very loyal and loving..Keep that in mind..Now Korean, and thai women , in my opinion look better. But oh man, their lack of fluent english and of course the miscommunication gets me everytime and I have to leave after about two months and go back to phillipines..I have tried malaysia and singapore but believe it or not , the girls have a chinese look about them-and for some reason are not into age gap relationships..Plus malaysian and singapore girls, are much more selective on choosing a westerner for dating and eventually a life partner. But singapore and malaysia women's english is great..Singapore is such an expensive country that it isnt a third world by any stretch and that may explain why they are not that enamored with westerners. As a westrn male, Its like I was invisible in singapore. But doesnt matter anyway as I could never see myself settling in singapore as it is just way too expensive and out of my budget,,Malaysia perhaps, but In the 3 months I was there, I didnt find any attractive women to date..so back to the phillipines ..lol
Get a Filipina and live in Thailand and have the best of both worlds!
Ok here’s the prediction. Esquire old mate is not going to a Turkey for his teeth. Turkey is better known for its 3000 or so hair transplant facilities. That’s the aim! Let’s see if I’m right. I have been wrong ……once.
Hollywood teeth not to be proud of that. What's wrong with your teeth and your Father's and Mother's gifts given to you??? Don't be plastic like the world. Grow old with grace. Open your eyes to the real and flow not in there delusion. 🙏🙏
Confusing a squirrel with a hamster 😂😂😂. Nice video though
Excited to see the further adventures.
Regarding j-lo… maybe it was just me but I didn’t really notice the age gap. I’m sure you had one - but not big enough that anyone would have looked twice. Course, I’m purely speaking from looks - if you felt she was a bit too immature, that’s entirely legit. You have to be 100% comfortable with your choices mate.
Anyway. Another nice upload. Thanks.
Veneers are a horrible idea. Permanently destroy your teeth for overly white, plastic looking teeth.
After watching your videos for years I can confidently say you are the internet’s most awkward interviewer/chatter 😜 but good on ya! Keep living your best life👍🏼
I think you should take Jane to Turkey with you mate…but the esquire has no problem hooking up with the Sheila’s..
Vietnam is disappointing...
So Lonely....
Vietnamese are so cold...
😢😢😢
No Vietnam for me..😮
Love your channel m8, but how can you compare Davao to Saigon?? You should surely compare Saigon to Manila, or Cebu? Only my opinion. And you must visit the Palawan district from north to south, breathtaking.😎👍
Always enjoy your vids LJ. Can't wait for the Turkish Delight, you will lose your nuts on the women there. Safe travels buddy🙏
Cheers LJ. Looks great round there. Nice work as ever, and thanks for your excellent hotel suggestion for Danang. Appreciated!
If your original teeth are good then keep them as long as you can, veneers are for people with bad teeth, and once you get veneers it takes more up keep and expensive fixes.
G'day from New York, LJ. I've seen a lot of your vlogs, this is one of my favorite, so beautiful to see a slice of life in Saigon, I loved the beauty and presentation of all those restaurants. Btw, this is the first time I've heard the term- 'Sheilas', lol.
Saigon doesn't seem as friendly as Phillipines
I lived in Saigon for 3 months this year. The malls are Vincom & Saigon Centre. My wife is Vietnamese from Vinh Long 3 hours south of Saigon. Vincom , Dong Khoi in district one is fun!
Don't just drink it, eat the white coconut inside. That is where the magic is.
Dude your teeth look fine.....Why go down that path.
Thanks for not planning your vlog (except for 888 promo). Take us along as you live your life and we get the opportunity live vicariously through you until we have the opportunity to join you in SE Asia. Great vid.
My cousin is married to a Turkish guy & she has had her teeth done over there & was very happy with the results & also the price, its what they call Turkey Teeth.....😁
Awesome to hear that mate, thank you
I'm interested in top and bottom dentures 4 on 4 , would like to know a rough $ au value if you could enquire whilst there mate , tee you up with my sister although she's only 73 , maybe a bit old for you champ 55555
Whatever happened to Pearly G? She was hot.
Cross the Saigon river to see the other face of HoChiMinh city ( Saigon ). You will find shopping mall like the Philippine.
This mall is located in Landmark 81 tallest building in Vietnam 🇻🇳.
Most of tourists concentrated in District 1. They never dared to cross Saigon river. I don’t know why ( ? ).
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Thank you for being in my country, Vietnam 🇻🇳.
Enjoy and stay safe.
I subscribed for more videos.
You should do Melbourne because there are a lot of people that would like to visit including myself.
A lot more expensive than Vietnam!
Try the new mall in district 8 - Parc Mall
What floor is your apartment. Since it helps higher up from the street to hear last traffic, etc.
Underground very secretive shopping. Beware of ghosts. 😂
I wouldn't mess with your teeth, they look fine mate! Love the way you get out there and explore, helps when you get to see the culture. I hope to visit one day, also enjoyed the Philippine video tours as well. Travel well stay safe!!
So what happened to Jane in the Philippines after the bowling match?
I must say that taxi ride after the vegan restaurant to the bowling alley was very awkward to watch 😂
Haha, there aren’t squirrels in Australia?!
looking good lj always believed in your style
Whatever happened to the van??
Great content as always. Nothing wrong with your teeth. Don’t come back with big white horses teeth lol.
haha. Im going full Shane Warne style mate. Glow in the dark 💯
Pls don't leave JL.❤❤
She's beautiful..I know she like you very much. Don't take her for granted.
Would love to know more about the dental work.....keep up the good work....
Thanks mate. I will release a video about the dental in the coming weeks ✌️
Try going to Yangon Myanmar
I like the Old Esquire stuff
I would refer you to Mr. Bob Levi who got his teeth, restomoded in Turkey. Skol.
There is a Siagon Central Just across the rd from the Markets you where outside of, cheap McDonalds there also
G'day LJ, cheers!
Funniest parts of the video: "Get a look at this cute little hamster thing..(squirrel)
American guy to LJ: "Let's cut the bs, you know you like 'em (2 Vietnamese girls in matching outfits)
😁
You don’t seem nearly as comfortable there as you are in Thailand!
☝️
Great vlog mate 😎. Gday from Oz!. How do you get your grab to work ?.. local sim ?
Cheers mate. For Grab you just need an internet connection and you’re good to go 👍🏻
That's probably the park I went to in 2019. It had pull up bars, which is what I'm always looking for (I ran into you in Benchasiri Park in Bangkok about four months ago next to the bars). As an older dude who can bang out some pull-ups, often I get asked by a local how I do it and end up having a nice conversation. I love the parks in Asia for that reason.
Great to see you enjoying life and getting a great deal on the accom. Who doesn't like a nice bit of crumpet? Spotting the hamquirrel was a nice touch also. Siagon looks interesting. It's on the list as in the Philippines. Good to see it through your eyes.
Hanoi is where the biggest malls in Vietnam are at
Nice one I miss Vietnam it sure is different to the Philippines. Don't rush into getting hitched mate live together and travel for a few years first. Happy travels
LJ living the good life in south East Asia !
There is a shopping mall on the other side of Bin Tanh market where your mentioning shopping malls towards that building with the orange roof in that shot. I dont remember the name of it but its the best one I seen in Saigon. Cheers
Gday mate. Great videos and stories. Always enjoy your content. You can't go wrong with a lady from the Philippines. Well, for the most part. There are some tricky ones everywhere. Just don't get married in the Philippines - there is no divorce by law there. So just be a bit careful. Like Thailand, you marry the entire family in the Philippines. But you know that:) I wish you well on finding a mate down in the Philippines; lots of good ladies there!
Thailand is probably the best for dental care
The coffee is very good in Turkey
Video quality is Pukka mate, what Sony camera have you bought?
hey mate, had to google pukka 😅 must be British slang. I got a Sony a7cii. only some parts of the vid were shot with it. most of the barber shop scenes and a few on the street. its a bit big for regular vlogging tho.
Yeh it's slang mate, Sony A7cii is a cracking camera especially for video 👍👍👍
A lot of negative comments in here even though Esquire's such a nice guy, strange.
I'm in Bangkok, plan on heading to Chiang Mai mid Nov for a couple of months. Is Sparky for rent?
watch they put nanoparticles in the numbing needle
Beautiful City and Scenery!
That black guy was funny "lets cut the bs you like them , don't you!"🤣🤣🤣🤣
haha... yeah he was onto me 😂
When you come back Thailand Esquire? They have the DTV visa now. You don't need new teeth LJ.
Is the dentist in Istanbul, LJ? If so it’s a fantastic city. One of my fave in the world. The vibrancy, food, markets, general bustle are hard to beat. It’s the only world city based in two continents, I believe. You’ll make some great content there. It’s a very easy place to spend time and watch the world go by. And Turkish people are friendly, from my experience.
Yes mate. Istanbul it is. Ok, great to hear your review. I'm looking forward to it. Cheers
Was locked down 4 months in Istanbul.. Wonderful time... My recs live in an area like Kazimpasca... Euro side.. Karakoy docks area mega interesting... Turk Insanlar altin kalp var!!
Great video rooster, your only getting better. What an amazing place .
Blimey..those Rentals are incredible ! I could live there for a Year ! London is more like £3000 a Month !
Why is there a lemon in a coffee?
Ouch. 105,000 ₫ is an absolute scam.
Other viet cities its 25,000-35,000.
You could have eaten for an entire day and some.
Its not cheap. Considering if you got a job as a local that would take 5 hours to afford.
I think you may be able to get cheaper food in Saigon if you outside the d1 d3 and across the river north into d9 d10 direction.
I love Vietnam but i really would least want to based in HCM
Hey Esquire! Pascal from Switzerland here :) Just came bsck from Vietnam and I totally fell in love with the country. Wanna return next year for 1-2 months (Hanoi and maybe HCMC). Do you have some recommendations where to stay? ✌🏿
LJ Squire! Wow! Hes on drugs in 'nam!
The hamster looking thing is called a squirrel.Why not describe in more detail your locations?. I live in PP. Was just on Holiday in Ho Cho Minh City. Last Week. Lived there for a couple of years. I follow you and give you a thumbs up , when I can . Other times I give you some Real Time feed-back from a "local expat". It's ok to be a metro-sexual like myself, but your pampering gets a bit too much. :) Just Looking at your Brand mate. Cheers
The best malls are not central. Probably why you haven’t bumped into them. For example, Crescent Mall and Vivo City in District 7.
Tbh though, all malls pale in comparison to the monstrosities I frequented in Qatar and Dubai 😂
Vivo City a nice retail complex or go to District 7 Anam Gourmet
Awesome mate. Thanks, I’m gonna check these out 🙏🏻
I have been a long time subscriber way back in the old days when you where not single .
My question to you is how old are you now .
Thanks for the support over the years mate. I am 41 now ✌️
Top rated dental clinic in Turkey. LMAOROFL What could possibly go wrong?
