Stay solo live free drama free and dont be a bank for someone like 90% of the expat in the Philippines. its so impressive watching someone who knows who they are and dont need someone just for show. after watching the guys youtube in the philippines it makes me depressed as we all know its a financial situation. when i retire in 3 years ill date as many Countries as possible get the most out of life and not supporting a girl and another mans kid or kids
Don’t let any of that bother you
We live our lives and just ignore what they do
Be happy ok? You are doing great
Coz the problem with men in pattaya, philippines .their balls are itchy.
Spot on
Just stay away from bar girls whether in thailand or philippines. Go find a lawyer, teacher, engineer.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Those women have options. They are not looking for a ticket out of poverty and tend to prefer their own to preserve blood line.
Everything in moderation. The suggestion regarding relationship moderation was surprising but makes total sense. We need people in our lives to be supportive, versus being negative and toxic. Mahalo.
True
Sometimes we need a break
And we need some time to get to understand ourselves
A lot of research being done about soursop fruit and leaves ( as teas) to prevent cancer and in helping cancer patients
Interesting!
This was my first time trying it
Very Good advice about Moderation. You are absolutely right.
Thank you
I hope your weekend is going well :-)
I agree 100% with you on booze , sugar and carbs ... All need to be monitored .. A cardiac surgeon honestly said that the fours things he avoids are : Smoking , Sodas , Alcohol and highly processed foods ..
Yes I need to be careful with these
"take a moment to understand yourself"..... Beautiful
Yes true
I think it’s an important step in making positive changes in our lives
Love the show! Can you do more local food please, we are getting sick of western diet, I’ve hear Malaysian have the best food on earth 😊
I’ll keep looking for variety yes haha
Great video, Christopher. Really enjoyed this one. Another thing I moderate in my life is "news". Consume as little of it as possible. So much less stress in your life.
True
It’s less stress
And healthier
Yes, moderation is the best way to live your lifestyle, living with the basic necessities.
It’s true
It’s healthier and less stressful
@@RetireandGo That's right and you can easily save lots of money for other usage or saving or investment. 😀
@@RetireandGo Talking about stress, I got something to tell you. I noticed that many of your videos were around KLCC, it reminded me a lot of my previous working experience with the KLCC project, and, regretfully, it also reminded me of my mistake leaving KLCC trying to pursue new horizon. I left KLCC at the wrong time, the start of Asian crisis, couldn't get a replacement job and a steady income, leading to my first depression. After 4 years, I joined MIDA hoping for a posting to Europe but I was sent to Mumbai instead, and after 3 years in the polluted chaotic city, I came back to KL with a second depression, forced myself to retire early with a tiny little petit pension. Should I have stayed in KLCC, I would earn nothing less than RM10K (@ USD2K) monthly, instead now I have to tighten all my monthly budget to RM500 (@ USD100) monthly, crazy. I learned a lot from my past mistakes and I learned about living in basic necessities, the hard way. Hope it's alright that I'm sharing my story with you. There are quite a lot to learn from your videos. 😀
Another great video.
Retired expat living jn Thailand.
Enjoy an occasional beer. No sweets or soda. Diet ok, could use more veggies.
Plenty if exercise. 11500 steps/day. Today 17500- walking around Bangkok.
All good here. Stay safe!!
You are doing great! That’s the plan !
Healthy and daily exercise
@@RetireandGo I'm a late senior. Sleep sometimes a problem. But ok. Thanks for the great videos. Live the presentation formats.
Great blog mate keep doing this last year or so I spent 3 Months in KL Malaysia lost 8kg after returning back to Australia it didn't take long to put 8kg back again I have to go back to Malaysia again soon.
I need to check out KL. Was in Penang, not impressed
But KL looks great. In a few months.
How does Heritage Pizza compare with NY style pizza? The salad and the pizza looked amazing! Thanks for sharing; I will be checking out Kutching in a couple of months and I hope it has a place like that there. Well done video!🥰
Very different
Not a large crisp pie
It’s a high end delicious pie
Top dough and ingredients
The only alcohol I like is occasionally half a Singha 🇹🇭 🍺 or a small 3 oz glass of Japanese plum wine 🍷. The key to alcohol is to have very small amounts of it, maximum once a week, and never more than one serving ever.
The only sugar I enjoy is Thai orange juice, and if I’m unfortunately, in the states, the Culver’s blackberry, vanilla concrete size small
Oh interesting
I would like to try that plum wine
Cheers mate..... Enjoying your Vlogs mate. Yep a well balanced life is key, as is moderation.
Thank you !
I agree
It’s the way
I appreciate your honesty. I'm learning a lot with your videos!
Thank you
I wish you a fantastic week
Thanks a lot for your interesting videos. You really encouraged me and my friend to retire in Malaysia
This is wonderful!
It is my mission to inspire and enlighten in the spirit of Bodhisattva
Another great video!!👍🏻👏🏻 Absolutely beautiful! May ur stay in Malaysia be filled with joy & sweet memories, your adventures be endless. Take good care. Cheers!
This is so kind. Thank you. :-)
@@RetireandGo You're most welcome! Cheers.
I never cared for that song "Everything I love is killing me" but it definitely hits home. Everything but one thing thank God!
Yes true
Moderation of the vices we love
That was great, I will try grappa after a meal as I have not heard of it
Powerful! Haha
A nice after meal aperitif
That pizza look delicious...I guess its authentic Italian pizza with an Italian owner
Oh my
Please try this place when you are in town
i don't drink alcohol, i don't smoke and i don't use drugs
Nice ! Take care of your body
Very good
@@RetireandGo I'm going to travel also through Asia and if you want we can drink something together. I'm going to Thailand, Maleisia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore etc. gr.Ronald (YT channel Ro On The Go)
@@RoOnTheGo thank you !
Cambodia should be great
I really enjoyed it
Dark chocolate is so much better for you, especially with a Pinot Noir or Merlot
I love it with coffee
Chocolate with mornings coffee that's a incredible thought , love breads & pizza , movement is key after those types of meals , I'm also 50 plus , and hike , and bellydance to stay fit, strength training ect . Your experience with traveling, makes your content so satisfying, adore the commentary and you are my absolute favorite International travel vlogger. Your the best !
Haha yes
It’s delicious but in moderation
Thank you for this kind comment
Agree! @@RetireandGo

You are most welcome!
Discussion on point. Another great video
Thank you so much
Just come across your channel am 100% on your wave length I see life just like everything in moderation I find your attitude to life great.
Thank you!
I appreciate this
Great video as usual! 80% focus on yourself 20% for the rest…🙏 I LOVE chocolate, too. I enjoy it when my body asks for it🙂
Yes it’s so good :-)
Had an old friend of mine, who with his Italian lunch, he always had a glass of red wine, and dessert was two cherries marinated in vodka. He lived to be 96 years old. He was an old Italian farmer, who ate a lot of veggies, garlic and pasta.
This is awesome !
I concur
Sound practical advise
Thank you. :-)
Have a great day
Always with great advices. Love your content!
Thank you. :-)
I want you to give you inspiration and a good message
This is what i want to be doing when i retire next year.. your channel is an aspiration to me.. very logical & smart & wise..
The world awaits you !
I suggest a touch and go card for public transportation. They are very cheap and you just put a little bit of money on it and avoid the machines and top up the card as you need.
You are probably right
Good thoughts
@@RetireandGo The cards are good for 10 years.They make things easy when using public transit.
4:13 OMG I knew it! You’re Bruce Campbell!
Haha
I love the bubba ho tep movie
Great video!
Thank you so much
Have a good day
Damn, u look like u are in your early 40s. I was surprised a bit when you said you are in your 50s.
Thank you!
I’m working out every day
Trying to live healthy :-)
Very interesting and informative 👍 as I am going to KL in September I now know all about the MRT and monorail
This is great
It’s so useful
I take everything in moderation, especially moderation itself!
Lots of folks these days, ranging from bodybuilders to mental health professionals, talk about the 80/20 rule to keeping our desires and habits under control without suffering knee-jerk reactions or mental fatigue. Eat 80% of your meals super healthy, then splurge on your naughty vices 20% of the time. We aren't programmed to always be strict with ourselves, but being "mostly good" is really beneficial. (In fact, lots of studies have come out showing strong and humorous correlations between being unyielding in one area of life and "cheating" in another. For instance, there was one a few years back that showed women who were on a strict diet were 9x more likely to cheat on their boyfriends.)
Moderation in moderation, folks!
😅
Dang I did not know this stuff haha !
Nice video sharing buddy
Thank you
I appreciate this
That's true
Yes :-)
Have a good day
Dear sir, i know you like kl a lot. Perhaps visit some other places in borneo to relax. Or islands nearby kl example pangkor island.
I was on Langkawi Island two years ago and I loved it.
I agree
I’m looking at Penang
Wow ! The food looked sooo awesome delicious 😋❣it is good to be aware of all what you say, and in this climate it is a diff, challenge for the body; drinking a lot of water is important and walking around is the best fitness to burne calories. But sometimes to have little goodies is what brings good mood !
I agree
Hydration
The heat will get you
Moderation is key. I'm right there with you on sleep, however. Enjoy your Time!
Yes I needs that sleeps haha
Just come accross your Chanel, love the content you are putting out, very different from the rest of the expat males...if you know what i mean😉
Yes true
All different styles
I’m a minimalist traveler and kind of a foodie haha :-)
Are you making videos ?
@@RetireandGo Yes, Travel and Food are my 2 passions 😊
@@PassportDreamGetaways I watched some of your videos. You have nice editing and music ! Really good !
@@RetireandGo Thank you, much appreciated. I am still new to it all, lot to learn in the editing dept 😀
Diet is more important than exercise. Stay away from carbs and sugar - you'll live a healthier life
Then there’s no enjoyment in life. You only live once.
I agree !
@@RetireandGo Not all carbs are the same. Complex carbs are extremely healthy, meaning vegetables, especially richly colored vegetables, such as dark green leafy ones, plus sweet potatoes, and fruit. I eat one huge salad a day, filled with veggies, black beans(protein), sweet cherry tomatoes, sweet corn , salsa, a bit of avocado, quinoa(protein) with a homemade spicy ranch or other tasty salads… For breakfast: Oatmeal daily with Ceylon Cinnamon, wild blueberries, plus other fruit and soy milk. All organic. Most cancers and all heart disease are caused by animal products. I follow many older cardiac surgeons, Dr. Caldwell, Dr. Esseltyn and other doctors that eat whole foods, plant-based food, such as T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Greger. They have all found out that this diet can prevent heart disease and stoke, and when they’ve switched their patients that have high cholesterol or heart disease to this way of eating, it’s lowered their cholesterol and many times reversed heart disease. One more thing, please stay away from fried or oily foods as much as possible. By the way, I’m 70 and healthy. 🌺 You may be interested in reading about the Blue Zones of the world. People live into their 90’s and have a wonderful quality of life. 💙
You need both, Diet and exercise ; of course in Moderation. Enjoy Life!
I eat KETO, lost 85 pounds, but miss lasagna so much.
85! I want to take a moment to tell you good job !
Who cares about you, what have you done to stop the invasion from Mexico
you made well traveler-;))
Thank you :-)
I hope your week is going well
The carbs and sugars convo is real. I cut that stuff out and instantly lose weight so easily
It helped me too
You say you spend all day outside? - that's a lot of hours to be out, especially in the heat and humidity of KL. Do you have a certain routine you like to follow? Aside from eating at restaurants and walking in the park what does your typical day look like? This could be a great video - a "day in the life" video with your typical daily activities. I struggle to find things to do after awhile and find I get tired easily in the heat.
You are right
Sunblock and hydration!
Aloha!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A warm aloha to you !
another great day bro. ive been to Indonesia back in 2004, im getting inspired by your vids to visit other SEA countries. may i make a suggestion when presenting a meal¿, if its shot on pov ( point of view), and CU close up, we experience the event much better. can you view this vid for example: las vegas eats 702...kind regards RG
2004 must have been interesting!
How do you manage the secrity of your stuff when you are out of your room during the day? You pick your rooms always with a safe box?
You keep eating like that, you will live to be 100 +
That’s the way !
AI will develop long life therapies as well
Nice video & it doesn't look tooo hot or maybe I am wrong.
Humid is a thing haha
But you will get used to it
I tp on eth and other cryptos and am currently sitting with a straddle options position for $VLY, $CVBF, and $OSS. Cheers! (in mod) Thanks for your videos as always!
Nice! I want you to be fruitful and successful
@RetireandGo Thank you! Likewise, best of all wishes and good vibes to you. It is very interesting what's going on right now in the global economy. So far, from what I see, the Malaysian government has done a marvelous job mitigating to the economic challenges that have impacted all nations around the world. They demonstrated to me some really smart moves! Their economic model should be studied throughout the world. I'm not sure if the Malaysians realized how excellent of a job the government has done for them in respect to their economy facing global economic challenges. However, just like every nation around the world, they still need to increase their productivity through a plethora of carefully-thought-of mechanisms. It seems they are already driven for this change, for example, through their development around the AI industry, which I think is one of the best moves to make right now. Anyway, I'll stop right here before I start writing a book... Stay safe, my friend, and happy trading!
Locally, soursop is known as "Durian Belanda", literally means The Dutch Durian. I don't know why the locals call them that, but well.. the Dutch were not the favorite colonial masters those days.. Probably the soursop looks like a defective durian (😂😂).. and we also have terms such as Dutch-wife (I believe it's the bolster), Dutch-treat (I pay mine, you pay yours), and many more.
I appreciate this !
Thank you
It was pretty good!
We malaysian lost the war against sugar 😂😂😂
But i cant live WO cabo. If you go with rice choose your rice wisely, choose only without sugar/glucose and you should be fine. It is tasteless tho but that is why we have curry coriander lemongrass chicken fish mutton to be paired with the rice to compensate the tasteless rice 😂😂😂
But we are winning against tobacco ❤😅
Enjoy your stay bud
I understand
You are working on it and I support you
That pizza looks great!
I think I'm a minimal sleeper. Might be hereditary? I get 5 hrs and then wake up. Tried to sleep in, but 5 hrs and up.
Is there a monorail that goes to KLCC? It's a walk. The MRT goes right there.
You are not very good at avoiding those mad and dangerous animals. Don't go to Africa or you'll be dinner!😂
You will be surprised how many rail systems and stops there are
In most part of Malaysia, eateries are audited by the health ministry of Malaysia, they are rated based on their cleanliness or hygiene. A is the most clean or hygienic, B is a so so.. and so on.
$25 USD for a meal at a basic restaurant seems expensive for KL. But I’m thinking most western food is going to be more expensive?
P.S. it did look pretty awesome 😎. Enjoy 👍🏼
Yes this is a more high end style location
You will find cheaper foods
My Malaysia videos usually have the cheaper meals haha
As a local KL resident, it’s not that expensive for a good restaurant and we’re used to these prices actually. Even going out for local food there are still nice, above average restaurants that can charge more.
I agree , I travel full time . $25 for a dinner is far from cheap but it did look good ... Wine is expensive in Malaysia ... Western food is always pricey ..
Living in hot regions also decreases longevity. Look around and see how fragile old people are in SEA. That is my main concern when considering retirement in SEA.
They're fragile because they work hard till the end bro
@@nutzhazel Are you sure that's the reason? I saw "Q Adventures" channel that featured a white Expat (Ken) that was only 70, but he looked like he was 90.
I agree 100%
Hmm not too sure about this
You know the global life longevity average is highest in Asia right ?
@@RetireandGo Look closely. Top ten countries for longevity has a snow season.
Another great video! 😊
Re: eating, I’m concerned about food safety in SE Asia. As a US native visiting India I strictly eat vegetarian and only fully cooked hot food. Did you have to get used to the food in SE Asia to tolerate it even street food? Thanks for the advice!
I will tell you the foods are fresh and delicious
Dark chocolate 🍫 👍
NO milk chocolate. No diet sodas is worst. 🥑🍍🥥🫐🥬🥒🫒🧅🧄🍠🫚🍎🍌🍉🍊🍋🥭🍒🥩🥓🥗🍤🍣🍜☕️🫘🧉🍷🧘🏾🏊♂️🏌🏽♂️🇵🇦🇺🇸🌎👍🙌🙏
I understand! Haha
So.... you make these videos for a good reason to drink wine? Cheers!
But seriously, nice video.
Haha there is an idea !
I quick drinking sugary drinks and lost 30 lbs. It really is not good for you.
That is smart
Very good !
Moderation is the key word. Quran
I agree
How do you eat CHO (that’s short for carbs) once a week when rice is the staple in SE Asia?
Oh very true
I mean like pizza
If a meal comes with rice I usually eat very little but some
Portion sizes are smaller here.
Does the hotel have washer/dryers?
Great question
Some do have in house service
In Asia laundry is a common business that’s in every block though very cheap
Hey if you’re ever in town contact me here in KL I’ll take you out for lunch in My hood
You are very kind. :-)
@@RetireandGo I’ll take for pizza 🍕 and whatever you want.
How about female companionship? Nice in moderation too.
Hey, pursue happiness!
You deserve it !
Hello-where do you come from? Are you American..are you Italian or Hawaiian?
Hello !
My home state is Hawaii
@@RetireandGo Love your videos...
@@lorrainehansen9770 very kind of you :-)
@@RetireandGo -Just got finished watching your video from Laos-you have a great life...Best wishes
Bro is happy as F...inancial freedom.
Yes yes yes !
You are amazing, what you do is actually not easy. You eat great food. I am sure you have many foreign women after you . PS I feel SE Asia is way way way better than central and South America. Mexico and Colombia is so so dangerous, and I hate the stupid language
Try some locations out and try to find one you like :-)
yeah..our foods are good. TQ 4 choosing Mlysia..hahaha
Delicious! And fresh
Says new video but I think this is a repeat no?
I have no repeats :-)
All new videos
12 hour days of video work
4 hours editing and uploading
Worth it !
@@RetireandGomaybe some footage was used from a few weeks back because I have a comment from 4 weeks ago on here.
Either way who cares 🤷🏻♂️. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼🤗😊
All the Best

These health issues are actually very serious.
World obesty are ranking all countries by obesity %.
South East Asian countries are not surprisingly doing great.
Vietnam(obesity rate 1.97%) almost at the bottom- ranked 197/200. Cambodia 193/200.
At the very top...American Samoa (70.29%).
The USA(41,64%), Australia(32,05%), The UK(26,94%).
Western countries are in general doing very bad.
Another reason why leaving the West will do great things for you.
You simply live healthier in South East Asia.
Good point !
I think fast food in Asia has been detrimental
American influence creates problems anywhere. The music, culture, food etc. Not good for young people.
