It is jus me or you are getting fat? cut out the energy bars if so :))

Thank you, ActionKid!

Thank you AK 👏🤗

Who won the US Open?

It’s been a real pleasure!

Ahah I wonder if it’s true 😊

Oh wow that must have been an experience!

we have it on old 8mm movie film.

@@albertmalkowski2904 Amazing!!

Ahah piacere mio Enzo!

Ahaah Jorge you said it right! This one took me three days of editing. I'm glad you like them!

I think so too, I actually have yet to watch the whole video AK made but I’m very curious to see the comparison!

Grazie!

Thanks Michael!

@@WhatashameMaryJane you welcome dear. Ever in San Diego hit me up. I’m born and raised in the Bronx and love your videos. 619-813-8849. I’m Michael King on Facebook Michael King from Yonkers. Friend me, gorgeous

I’m glad to hear!

ActionKid barely does any work of editing, for a precise reason. We have very different approaches to video creation. I'm glad you liked my work Pawel.

That was ActionKid's video Pablo! I'm glad you liked mine too :)

Eh eh 😉

Oh Auke I'm so glad you like this attitude, because it's a part of my personality that I really like too, but usually people make fun of me for it, labeling it as naiveness. But that's exactly what we need more of I think! It makes you enjoy the world and your life more 😊

Yes you are right, Mary Jane. We all need more of it. It’s definitely not the same as naiveness.

The best prepared person in general, I'd say! 😄

Love it. That's what I'd do as well.

Yes we passed between the two lakes on our way back 🙂

@@WhatashameMaryJane Buonasera mia cara signora! Back in the late 70s i only remember the one lake. Seeing some of that video almost brought me to tears

No Scott, the best way to park for Xiao Long Bao is on the sidewalk next to the entrance (your bicycle 😉)

What a shame Mary Jane But I live in East Bumble on Long Island! Halp. I used to live in Queens for years, and if I were still over in Rego Park, I'd for sure be getting on the subway and going up there, or taking a cab, or whatever. I never had a bike when I was in the city, but in retrospect, I should've bought one. Now I'm in like some wacky suburb and the local Chinese joint is good but they don't have soup dumplings. Most of them out here do not. Real dim sum you gotta go to Flushing, or Chinatown. I'm a 4-wheeled gypsy these days. For sure though, you're better off on foot in that area, or bike, or on the train.

@@thiscorrosion900 I understand Scott :) If you're used to the subway then i'm sure you're not going to have problems walking even ten blocks. So maybe you can find parking more far and then walk. It will help appetite and digestion ;)

@@WhatashameMaryJane The last time I visited some shop in Flushing on Union, I parked a good 10 blocks almost north, and walked down, the parking is generally insane there, and Elmhurst, and also in Jackson Heights, sometimes. Really I'd rather take the train there, but I live now off Syosset LIRR, which doesn't really help me for Flushing. If you're in Little Neck you can take the bus right to Flushing, which is better.

Yes it was Liz! Thanks for the nice comment, I'm glad you enjoyed our adventure 😊

If it's true, that would have been my hero.

@@WhatashameMaryJane it's true. I dont know why she burnt it or the reasoning behind though. I would have to look more into it. This is all based off of what my aunt told me recently

Thank you Gilson!

Tom, I’m glad you think the channel made a smooth transition with all the changes that the pandemic brought. I look forward to start travelling with locals soon again, but I also enjoy very much making this kind of videos. Thanks for the feedback! 🙏

Basta praticarlo! ;)

Never heard of it! So interesting to see how many names of places in younger countries come from towns in the Netherlands: Flushing, Harlem, New Zealand... Anyways I’m glad you enjoyed the whole video Auke!

Uhuuu hi Yanine, thank you so much for this feedback! I’m flattered by the Queens girl comment 😊

Thank you Kate, I’m so glad you do!

Thanks Owen.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I liked that vibe honestly :)

Oh that’s such a nice thing to hear...😊 Have s great rest of the week.

I looked it up on google and you might be right! They make me want to go back there just to smell it once more time!

Hey Adrian! Please do it, it’s not only a beautiful way of moving it’s also the most efficient 😉

Thank you Judith! 💗

Hola Estefanìa!! Gracias 🙏

Hey Mike, actually ActionKid has a calm pace, so at the end of the day I wasn't tired at all despite all those kilometers, so that's great! Saturday I edit all day for my weekly video that has to be ready for Sunday... I hope you'll enjoy your ride, wherever it will be!

Thanks

It’s a simple chest mount for GoPro, you can google it

@@WhatashameMaryJane I was referring to the one for your mobile phone, not the GoPro

@@EvanCee I don't use the phone to film from the bike, that's why I bought a GoPro

Ooooh now you make me blush Rick... ☺️

Hey, thanks!

He definitely is Simonh, I'm also glad to have him around 😊 Thank you for leaving such a nice comment.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Giant bicycle, GoPro and iPhone cameras

My pleasure :)

Thanks Nancy! I’m sure you’ll find a great place to stay in Queens. Where do you live at the moment?

@@WhatashameMaryJane I live in the foothills of The Great Smokie Mountains and I lived in Tampa Bay area of Florida

nancy king It doesn’t sound bad... 😊

@@WhatashameMaryJane I don't like the South I am from here ,but I lived in Connecticut for alot of years and I use to go to New York on buying for the import shop I managed in Connecticut Love both of those places 🗽💙

Tanti auguri a te is the only version I know. The second version in my experience doesn’t exist!

@@WhatashameMaryJane | Okay, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't crazy! If your channel didn't exist, I would have no idea who to even ask. Thank you for being an awesome channel. :-D

@@vdayucla Ahaha!

Good morning Bella!

Ahaha! ActionKid gives a great example in that sense. Queens is a great borough to grow up in!

@@WhatashameMaryJane Yes! That's why Queens is the capital of the world. Come back and explore some more.

Hi Laurie :) I’m very glad you liked this video, hope you’ll find more enjoyable ones in the rest of the channel. Your friend Enza grew up not that far from my home town, Udine! You take care and have a great rest of the week. 🙂

@@WhatashameMaryJane that is very cool. i will tell her :) thanks very kindly and you have a good week as well!

Ahaha yes definitely

Qui mi sembra di aver usato il microfono interno della GoPro HERO8 e forse in alcuni punti il Rode VideoMic, ma non credo di averlo nemmeno usato quel giorno

@@WhatashameMaryJane grazie

George, I did today at Union Square market. If I had bought them in Jackson Heights they would have arrived in sauce form to the East Village

What a shame Mary Jane and were they very good? The ugly tomatoes are the tastiest.

@@frolege1 They're barely decent George, I'm sorry. I don't know what's the matter with tomatoes here 😔

What a shame Mary Jane I need you to shop with my wife. She knows all the good healthy places. Oh, by the way I’m heading up to The Edge.. I’m so excited to see the views from the top.

I’m glad you do, thanks!

Hi David! Yes we biked a lot but in a slow pace, so I wasn’t that tired in the evening :)

Hey thanks for the feedback! The restaurant we stopped at was in Flushing, the biggest Chinatown in NYC. Not only there is a bike path on the Williamsburg Bridge, but it’s the king of NYC bikeable bridges!

I would love for a local to guide me into the Bronx

Queens feels more like the real deal, where normal people with normal families live. And I don't mean "normal" int he sense that the opposite is weird or bad, I mean that it's more similar way of living than the average population around the world. Brooklyn in my (very little and very modest) experience is very much segmented by lifestyle of its inhabitants. Certain areas are mostly for very quiet families, others are more industrial, certain are residential and vibrant (similar to Queens, in this sense, like Sunset Park, Bay Ridge), others very young and party oriented (Williamsburg, Bushwick, Greenpoint), some filled with crime (East New York, Brownsville), others fancy and luxurious (and touristy). My impression is that Queens, in its extreme diversity, is more homogeneous in this sense. What do you say?

Travelling is like learning: the more you do it, the more you realize you still have so much more to explore. That little part with the flower smell was so pleasant that I'm actually thinking about going back there just to smell those flowers again. Manhattan with less street cleaning than usual is really making my nose's life hard. About the old guy exercising I swear he just came and started doing push ups right away without even looking around. The part I filmed was his 3rd or 4th set of push ups with feet on the bench and I only filmed less than the half of repetition he was making. Truly impressive. (You make me feel so happy telling me this!!!)

@@WhatashameMaryJane Didn't think about the street cleaning in Manhattan, I'm very sorry to hear that it's getting that bad!. I remember commenting on someone else's video about how the scenery looked really nice, but that there was apparently a really bad sewerage problem nearby. I can't quite remember what I said, but it was something along the lines of how we were lucky that we didn't have to smell this video! (looks like the same could be said for Manhattan eh?!). When you said ("You make me so happy telling me this!!!")... I'm thinking mmm, what's she referring to here?. Was this about the old guy trying to impress you?, or about that comment I made at the end (I'm tending to think towards the latter). Anyway, a very delightful comment from you, Thank you!!.

@@andrewbadart3827 It was referred to this: (I'd honestly watch anything with you in it, as you always lift my spirits!)

Hey K-Man, so happy about your feedback! Thanks for taking the time to write it. I also think our two ways of creating videos mirror our personalities. Good observation!

My bad, in Italian we use the same word campo for all of them

Well, I guess if you have a bulky piece of garbage what you say makes sense...

😊

Hi Sascha. Let me answer to your questions and comments. My eyes have rings of different colors, but the predominant is green. Me and Kenneth use different GoPro mounts and our choice mirrors exacly what we try to achieve in our videos: In my case, the feeling of being me and living my experience in first person, in his case - I guess, since I'm not him - the feeling of having an eye on New York City, I think he tries to be more objective in his videos, hence the lack of editing. About the colors I must admit I haven't done much color grading in this particular video, partially because it took me much more than expected to edit it (I published it on Monday instead of Sunday, my usual publishing day), partially because when the natural light is so flat (when the sky is very cloudy) the colors turn out so bad and I'm not able to make them look much better with color correcting, so instead of getting discouraged, often I don't even try to work on them. So you're right, I could have done much better, but I was honestly exhausted. Maybe I should try to find tips on color correcting in a cloudy day. Also, I use a combination of GoPro and iPhone 11, whereas AK uses only the GoPro. iPhone 11 has an amazing color grading already. I enjoy your critics, I can pick some of them and use them to get bette, like this one about color grading. I could have surely worked with black point, which I didn't. I just adjusted the contrast curve and worked on the general saturation. Wow, I never watch my very old videos, because I think they're so much worst that the ones I make now, so I feel embarrassed watching them, but I'm glad you can still enjoy them. Oh I'm so sorry to hear that your daughter extended her visa. I know it must be hard for you to have her so far away and you were looking forward to see her again. So I'm very sorry to hear. On the other hand, I know what it means to be the daughter who stays away for a long time, and I know that this is positive for her. It's probably the best thing for her personal growth, but I'm sure you know that and you're happy about it already. Yes, that hair... 😂 Liebe Grüße!!

Hi Mary Jane, for videos, quality is less important. The content makes the running. Well, and your content is right. I watched your first two videos. Works in which emotions can be experienced are above all. Yes, Australia was a good decision. She feels very comfortable there. If the children are doing well, the parents are doing well too :) Green eyes are special. Extremely rare in Italy. Scotland and Ireland are the core area, they say. Beautiful! Cari Saluti

The products I can recommend... I myself used X-Rite for years, but the big one for print production. During my education I switched from digital media to print. The small Colorchecker costs only 119USD solo. The right colours were just there with the spectrometer, before they made up about 25% of the working time.
