Apologies to those in Australia who missed the premiere to day because I advertised AEST.. Daylight saving stuffed me up again! Let me know what you guys think of me PREMIERING a special video now and again.. is it better knowing exactly what time it drops, the ability to be notified and being able to chat, or just continue uploading them as a normal video? Cheers

What a most wonderful and blessed day, two beautiful angels showed up in the poor villages and delivered kind love. Refreshing to see that there are still good people in the world. May the universe continue to bless and watch over you and your family.💖💝

@xeemnpisyuslis2089 6 месяцев назад

The village you are looking for has been under water for about 5-6 years or so since they build the dam. All those people at the wedding, etc has been relocated there.

I love your heart for the Mong people. My best friend is from Laos. When she was young , she and her family left for the Philippines. They were refugees . The US was bombing Loas looking for the Vietcong

Well done Todd, this trip is going to be epic if the first 2 instalments are anything to go by. What luck that was running into that Hmong wedding. And although the couple had nothing, the village provided for their wedding, fabulous community spirit. These Hmong people are so welcoming and kind to strangers, welcoming you into the festivities and so grateful for the gifts that you were able to provide. You would have thought that you had given them a million dollars. Lovely to see Mina and her brother having such fun in the water at your idyllic picnic lunch spot. Shame about the bull fight but if there had been one you would have missed the wedding. Swings and roundabouts Todd. The stills at the end were as always magnificent. God bless you all 😀❤🙏

@bobcat2960 6 месяцев назад

Another wonderful video of you, Mina and Neenee, Todd. Loved you wedding crashing in the Hmong village, such smiling faces on everyone welcoming you to their celebration, and those knitted hats were so thoughtful by the lady who made them for you to give to the less fortunate villagers who clearly loved the gesture with such pleasant warm appreciative smiles, very touching to see so Thank You for sharing that. And those b&w photos were fantastic, Todd, very very skilled capturing the day to day--back to your great skill they were for sure! Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe on your adventures. Was great to see Mina, her brother and grandfather joining you on this one, too. Very heartfelt to watch this.

@mtnmandeluxe5429 6 месяцев назад

Howdy Todd,,nice village! The kindness and friendliness are just,without parallels. So very thankful for the gifts. As soon as Mina saw that water,,was there any doubt where you were eating lunch? I bet she wanted to swim too. Even when she wanted to leave,,she was so sweet about it,, you had to do it. Just an observation,,my perspective!,I don't think the cute bride was too far behind the groom mentally,,but like you said,,that's ok,,it they can give each other a measure of happiness then that's great. I'm going to a funeral in the next couple weeks that breaks my heart,,my best mate,,we've been besties for nearly 50 years,,hes about to lose his second wife in 6 years,,slow drug out both times. She has stage 4 cancer thruout her body and shes been suffering,,so I hope they both get peace soon. It's a 500 mile trip,,but it's a no choicer! Thanks for doing this ,you and Neenee and Mina ❤to my niece. Ttyl,,,Marlon

15:25 they know that you guys are strangers but part of our Hmong culture is to invite everyone to eat with us whether you're a family or a stranger (it's just who we are). If you're in the U.S.A this might not happen anymore because we're adapted to the western culture.

Yes, we have since learnt this. No wonder we were getting so many confusing answers when asking to go there.

@xeemnpisyuslis2089 6 месяцев назад

I was watching "1 sim neej" channel and your channel and they two of you unknowingly cross path at the place you guys stay and they work across the bridge collecting rocks for their church building. Wow

at the guest house or the restaurant?

@xeemnpisyuslis2089 5 месяцев назад

@@NowinLao I think "1 Sim Neej" is a youtuber live in that village and she show some her her villagers gathering tons of small and gravel rocks to build their church

@NowinLao 6 месяцев назад

Google maps is so late in updating this area.. as you can see from the satellite image I used, half had the lake, the other half had the villages. I had no idea what was above waterline or where the dam was. Thanks for this info 👌

I've been thinking about the people that don't like a couple of bulls pushing each other around for a little while. I wonder what they think of people killing animals peeling their skin off, throwing them in the fire then eating them? Just makes me wonder. 🙄

Dude hella old... She hella young. Dude probably 40something. She probably 14-16. The sad Force marriage life. Her family are poor so they probably married her off so she can have a better life. Even tho the husband is also poor, his family probably have a little more than her family. A little goes a long way. And like all hmong wedding the husband pay for the wife. So money is always involved.
