If you enjoy the video blogs, please consider supporting me

You know the site is free and these videos are free, but you must also know the website host and all the time spent recording editing and uploading isn't free.

I decided not to make a formal charge for membership because I am new to this and the subject matter is so important, it might put people off if they felt they had to pay a fee to join or view.

I saw on another website they were using Donations, and thought that's a really good way to go.  So, I adopted this method of funding, it is ideal for those of you who can spare a bit of cash and is also ideal for those who really can't afford anything because it means you all see the videos.

website

Go to this page and click the link, it's a Paypal account, totally safe and you don't need to join/sign up.  You can use debit and credit cards and there's no fee; I pay that bit (so please consider this when choosing an amount to donate. A very small donation - less than £5, will probably not result in a lot of money going to me).

Anyway, I appreciate your every donation and thank you in advance.  It will enable me to continue producing high quality video blogs.

Some delicious recipes

Saw this book in Bangkok airport and immediately thought of all the innuendos that you're currently thinking. Admit it..?


 I think someone should have told her about how the translation works in English...

The end of a series (Thailand 2016)

Yes, indeed, it is the end of the series.  My Thailand blogs are finished.  I have had issues throughout with copyright claims for music I used on the videos, which was especially annoying because all the music is copyright and royalty free.

Other legit claims, I have not disputed, were because I had the radio or TV playing in the background and these generated claims.

Making videos is not easy. Especially when you aim to produce one a day, which in this case was wholly impossible within the time frame. I have just caught up, 8 days after returning to the UK.  It's the time involved in making them where I fell on unrealistic ground, with the editing taking the least time, well, 3-4 hours for 18 minutes of video...

The rendering is the longest process.  One video of 28 minutes took over 5 hours to complete and then another 2 hours to upload.  The last one, Oasis Sea World took over 10 hours to finish and upload,  that's 7.5 to render!

Please like and share any or all, but above all please subscribe.  Lastly keep watching because this is just the first of many, and throughout the 28 days I have gained invaluable experience of video blogging.

My only changes for future series would be to have a dedicated camera person with the same vision of end product who can just take charge of filming...  and some sort of stedicam...

Thanks again for watching and see you soon.
