Hello, we're Kristy & Steve and welcome to our channel!

After saving for 3 years, we left our jobs, sold our possessions, rented out our apartment in Melbourne, Australia and bought one way tickets to start a new long-term adventure exploring different countries, discovering new cultures and learning new ways of life. We created this channel to keep our friends, family and anyone we meet along the way, up to date with our journey around the world! Join us on our trip - we hope you enjoy! ✈️

@ianbond3885
@ianbond3885 8 дней назад
right guys, let's be absolutely clear here - hash browns have no place on an English Breakfast plate - they are an import from America. A true full English breakfast would include fried bread. Authentic Black Pudding is made with cow blood, pork fat and oatmeal - no breadcrumbs. Incidentally, "Blood Pudding" is not the correct term. I'm guessing you guys eat meat (lamb, pork, beef etc.) so what do you think meat contains? Blood of course! So why get so uptight at the thought of eating Black Pudding - it's so irrational. And why would it taste of iron? Spinach is full of iron as are many other vegetables, but they don't taste of iron. Iron is needed for healthy blood so what is more natural than to use iron-rich blood to make Black Pudding. It's an incredibly beneficial health food. You will find mushy peas in most Australian Woolworths and Coles in the British section. I have to say the best fish and chips I have ever had in Australia was from Ocean and Paddock in Albany (WA). They are also one of the few outlets that seem to cater for the UK passion for curry sauce. With cream teas, the debate about cream or jam first depends very much on where you come from. In Devon if you put jam on first you will get some really angry stares - clotted cream is traditionally a substitute treat for butter - now would you spread jam on your scone and then try to spread it with butter? - I think not. Somerset is generally the same. In Cornwall, the clotted cream is thinner and they put jam first. Dorset can't make their mind up. Sorry, but how can an Irish dish be called a 'Cornish' Beef Hash? Ireland is separated from Cornwall by the Irish Sea and is a separate country - the only connection they have is that they are both Gaelic. Corned beef in the UK is completely different to that in Australia, plus it originates in Argentina and comes in a can. You can get it in Australian supermarkets at an exorbitant price. Corned Beef Hash is traditionally alices of a tinned product, coated in batter and fried - what you have is not traditional UK Corned Beef Hash. Yorkshire puddings were originally made plate-sized and then filled with meat and vegetables etc., but these days they are more often made as individual portions baked in a muffin tin. Cheese should not be a component of Yorkshire Pudding - it should be egg, milk and plain flour with a dash of cold water. Leftover Yorkshire Puddings are often eaten the next morning at breakfast with a liberal application of golden syrup or honey. The trick is to whisk the batter really hard so that it is full of bubbles and then pour it directly into the hot oil - the bubbles then expand and create the fluffy texture inside with a crisp outer shell. Eton Mess is not a complicated dessert - it's simply a combination of broken meringue pieces, whipped cream, and pieces of fruit - traditionally strawberry or raspberry or maybe black cherry - you can also add a little white wine or kirsch. However, you cannot make it in advance as the meringue just goes soggy and dissolves. As an aside, the KFC in the UK tastes totally different to that in Australia - I have given up on Australian KFC.

I appreciate your video. I’ve learned a lot more aboutHUA Hin than I knew before. I’ve got questions. Initially I was underthe impression that this was a much gentler place than Bangkok or Phuket. And I’m sure that it is. But I’ve also come to understand that it’s primarily a vacation town. So in season prices go up, off-season prices go down. It’s difficult to judge your budget when there’s that much fluctuation. Initially I found what appeared to be so nice one story two and three bedroom individual condo units each had its own pool etc. etc. They were fairly reasonably priced I think it was something like $30000.00. I’ve now come to understand that buying a home really isn’t the best idea for an Ex Pat. Renting on an annual contract seems the way to go. I’m a single American, 70 years old and really don’t intend to travel that much. I’m just looking for a less expensive place to retire on my Social Security check. Now, questions: it looks a great deal more crowded than I expected. The area I had been shown before was residential and really new. I’ve come to understand that Thai construction standards are nowhere near ours. Things initially may look pretty good but they don’t seem to hold up overtime. So I’m gonna rent. Give myself an escape valve. I had also considered buying a car. I’m not gonna do that I’m gonna use Tuk Tuks. If I absolutely need the use of a car I’ll just rent one. I don’t plan on spending my time in girly bars throwing money away. I doubt if there are many Thai ladies interested in 70 year old Americans.. And honestly I don’t think I could keep up with one of them. As far as the beach goes I’ve noticed that there are a great deal of boulders both on and just offshore. It doesn’t look like it’s a very comfy place to go swimming. I’m sure there are areas of the beach that have been cleaned up… likely in front of the big hotels… so I’m hoping that whatever living arrangement I find has a pool. I prefer a pool anyway. Most of these condominiums don’t have what we Americans would consider to be a realistic kitchen. I would probably try to find an American combo microwave convection oven which is how I cook most my meals now anyway. So here’s my last question do you see this town as a reasonably decent spot for an American Expat? It seems to me that there are likely to be a fair number of English speakers around i.e. other Expats.. For day to day communication with the locals I hope to find vendors who have some understanding of English or I also hope to pick up some Thai. I also intend to buy one of these nicer electronic translation devices so that hopefully I can speak into it to them so they can hear it and they speak back and it translated for me. This sounds like a decent solution and certainly beats getting married just to have a translator. Take care best wishes to you and I look forward to your response.

Hi! Wow thank you for taking the time to send us this detailed comment - and for watching our video. To answer your question overall, yes absolutely Hua Hin is a wonderful place to retire in (regardless of age and Nationality). There are a lot of people from all over the world living there - mainly Scandinavians from our observations and interactions. English is widely spoken and you can live as "local", or as "international" as you like. We cant wait to revisit. Would love to hear if you decide to move there! ☺️
