@@kevbrown1867 Cool. Thanks !!

Excellent Brett, nothing like being locked in to living here. Congrats my friend.

@@brettweary8491 Thank you. We’ve been in three months now. We’re loving it, big change, much slower pace.

@@brettweary8491 Hey Brett !! Awesome bro. Good to hear from you. I’m happy for you bro, you’re almost moved in !! Cool. Yeah this year has been a little crazy weather wise all over.

@@DiggingFrance Hello. No, I’m sorry I never release that kind of info. Feel free to communicate with me here

Thank you very much !! I appreciate your kind comment

@@robertbest4398 Thanks. I love when envious dudes cop an attitude watching any part of my great retirement out here. And check your spelling next time meathead….

Homeless? LOL. So the deadbeat loser scrapping by like a roach in Coasta Rica doesn’t look at the awesome home build vlogs, or did you and felt you needed to comment out of deep envy? Yeah chunks of losers like you out there. Hey nitwit, I don’t vlog for subs or views or money. Hey folks check out this bums vlogs out of costa rica, he’s literally living hand to mouth like a 40 year old bum, he needs the money so drop a like and subscribe LOL.

@@user-kt9zs That’s a mango tree in front. Burning, not sure… gonna find out shortly when they burn around us…..

@@donjohnson5123 Nice.

@@user-kt9zs Yes. We will be … have to buy another 3-4 mature trees and have them planted. Elec at our former rental 24/7 aircon/water and cable…..about $70 bucks a month.

@@jencrucijada2 You got it J, hopefully it stays this way for the years ahead. We were very careful and stringent about finding a location as such, surrounded by rice that the government will never approve for conversion to housing.

@@donjohnson5123 Hope you survived the hurricane ok!!

@@jencrucijada2 Thanks. Nothing here, just a little wind. Zero rain. The hurricane was significantly north of us.

Thank God!!

@@jencrucijada2 Thank you J !!

@@jencrucijada2 Thank you. That was part of the goal. Mission accomplished. So far, so good my friend.

@@thuthoi2 Thank you very much for the compliment. It’s appreciated !!!

Thank you. That just made my morning and my day today James. I would hope, truly, that I’m not out here BS’ing folks and trying to set a tone and an example for expats and men. I’m trying bro.

@@murraymuntain3720 Wassup Murray. I knew I’d hear from you. Thank you, your kindness is incredible and received in good measure !! Appreciate you bro, once I get settled in I have a long overdue wrap up rant on the YouTubing A-Holes that “used” to be out and about in SEA and are now gone and still failing. And I’ll never get tired of talking about or run out of substance regarding the rapid downfall of western society. What a Sh’t show the West is right now. God bless you also and keep the road before you sound and safe in all you do.

I heard that. I did one of those lean over with the selfie stick idiot moves (you drop it buh-bye phone). Just leaning and looking over the railing gave me the Willie’s.

@@jencrucijada2 Thanks J, you rock !!

@@jencrucijada2 LOL That might be the best comment and accurate description (of me) and to one of my vlogs I’ve ever read. Positivity ? Over rated in today’s “woke western society.” It truly means a great deal to me personally to see enlightenment and understanding from someone. Thank you most sincerely. I’m just calling it as I see it my friend. I believe I truly do try to do so objectively. And not just Vietnam J, the whole world has gone batshit crazy. Especially the west which is why it pains me so to see it encroaching out here so far away. Now…..I’ve positioned myself so I no longer have to see it day in and day out here, now, I’m living “where western foreigners AIN’T.”

@@jacobgraham3125 That’s very much appreciated Jacob. Thank you for your kind comment sir !!

Thanks !! I understand, I’ll have to throw up the railing. Makes too much sense from several perspectives. Yeah, I’ll see how this Panasonic performs, that’s a pretty open space it has to cool down. We’re thinking of some sort of decorative partitions and the ceiling fan…once it gets installed well help a bit. Now I know to a degree why they make tiny narrow homes here customarily, energy efficiency due to the high cost of living for the locals - maybe.

@@user-kt9zs Bingo. Your comment just made my day. I have been speaking recently to friends back home about this very thing. The UNESCO Ha Long is now a cesspool. Believe it or not a representative big wig from UNESCO was just here a few weeks ago and didn’t even address or mention the issue or UNESCO site awareness. Instead they congratulated Vietnam on its stewardship. What a joke. Essentially UNESCO is a BS liberal idiot arm of probably the U.N. and they can kiss my backside. But my friend you’re correct on two counts which is why I posted the vlog. Hoi An is now ruined and a tourist trap and no longer any kind of authentic. The Vietnamese here have gone koo koo for Cocoa Puffs (aka $$) everyone’s trying some sort of business scheme to grab a tourist buck from driver to portable sunglasses seller and everything in between you can think of, so they’re all running around like madmen. It’s sad to witness what’s happened here which of course motivated us to GTFOH and seriously move to a non-tourist, non-western foreigner authentic arena. Aka “the country.” Population here is 100 million and they have received the equivalent of 1/5th of the population in tourists this year. Thats insane and now the country is inundated with tourists and the madness of tourism. I’ve been reading where some places in Europe, Italy, Spain and Greece are actually banning tourism now it’s gotten so bad for them. Post Covid for some reason, even with Bidenflation and Global inflation lot of western nitwits for whatever reason think spending precious money on travel makes sense. It boggles the mind.

@@user-kt9zs Mmm matter of opinion. These aren’t plants you buy at Home Depot, these are pieces of art and here pricing isn’t as serious of course. My guess would be somewhere in the $300-$500 range which includes them hauling the humongous weight of it and placing it exactly where you want it in your yard space with a mini crane. In America? Quadruple that price then double it. don’t think about it like the low rent broke dick expats I occasionally rant about who can barely afford a $300 a month apartment out here. I’m not one of those.

@@donjohnson5123 Yea, the big ones are much more I think. They take many years to get to that size so well worth it. I think they command a good price because Viets think it brings good luck. That's why they sell so many during Tet.

@@user-kt9zs Indeed my friend. Great insight. I sometimes forget the cultural value on things around here. You remind me of the shock of seeing the unsold tet flowers burned or left to go to pot, they allow no one to take them for free or buy them after for a discount even though they’re mostly annuals. They simply let them all die out and that’s total BS IMO. Some will place gazzilions of unsold Tet flowers around their homes but never water them, after a month or so they’re history and only seen again the following lunar new year. Vietnam is weird like that in many ways but each day when I awake my first thought is always “thank God I don’t live in the West any longer.

@@donjohnson5123 The west is only bad for us because we lived there when it was great long ago, so we see the decline. The worst part about it is that the decline of the west is intentional and is being led by people who want to destroy western culture and white people. Most Viets are still dying to escape to the west and esp. the USA because they have no idea what's going on there. They only focus on the fact that they'll have much better economic opportunities in the west. Problem is, they don't understand the impact of living in a nation with a completely broken down society. Vietnam is far from perfect, but we are outsiders so we don't see the extent of the problems since we don't know the language or have a deep understanding of the culture. And we aren't affected by the biggest problem (corruption) which creates the huge income disparity, since we already earned our money in the west.

@@user-kt9zs EXACTLY !!!

@@user-kt9zsI’ll post the builder and designers info for you soon so you can get in contact with them.

@@donjohnson5123 That would be great. Thanks! I can't wait to see the complete finish.

@@user-kt9zs You’re quite welcome. As to the finish, we’re on the doorstep, as far as landscaping, that’s gonna be another several months. There are several more items to be completed like security cameras, WiFi installation, finishing up the water input to the house, clean up crew to come in and wash the place inside and out top to bottom, but we’re like 10-14 days from move in time. Thank you for the encouraging comments. Well received and appreciated. (It’s a great suggestion, I’ll post the websites and contact info for you very soon)

@@donjohnson5123 Yea, you've got your hands full that's for sure.

6 drains on the upper patio. No worries. Two on the front of the house upper, and 4 in the two front corners of the large patio.

@@jencrucijada2 You have a lot of catching up to do it seems. The noise and chaos aside, I didn’t expatriate 8000 miles as I stated see the people I was trying to get away from. So once our move is complete in a few weeks I won’t have to see it or them. You understand?

Absolutely!

@@jencrucijada2 Cool. Thanks very much.

@@jencrucijada2 No

@@jencrucijada2 Of course.

@@jencrucijada2 Appreciate that. I don’t pull any punches and I will always speak out. I earned that right - trust me on that.

@@jencrucijada2 Thank you. The entire process has been vlogged on my UA-cam channel from bare ground to completion, I suggest you check out my vlogs fully.

Thank you. I have lived here several years. Understand it took an extensive search to find this serene area in which to build a home and live. Most of Vietnam is very noisy.

@@user-kt9zs Oh I took a big dump on the tarmac of the airport before I boarded the plane to come expatriate out here. I’ve never gone back and am never going back to America. My whole reason for doing what I did was to GTFO of what America has become. Vietnam has been and is home now.

@@donjohnson5123 I figured so. American society is finished. It's all being done on purpose.

@@user-kt9zslet me add that commonly the foreigner death is communicated to the proper authorities and a record made. This often if not 99.9% of the time involving the American embassy desiring that the body would naturally be sent home whole or cremated to the family. In addition to that as a military honorably discharged veteran that transport and burial would be paid for by the government. Flag drapped coffin, taps, and all that business Uh-No in my case. We’ve discussed it with the leader and I’m on the dole here as well as after 3 years of marriage in my wife’s family’s “book.” He said just bring my passport down to him/his office and he’ll handle it. I’m not sure if I’ll be cremated and kept on a shelf here in the worship room or buried in the graveyard just down the road. In any event as you and I discussed, I ain’t never going back to America alive or dead. I’m estranged from any family back home so whatevs to them anyways

@@user-kt9zs You have to reveal if your wife is Vietnamese or not. The design cost expense goes right into the build if you green light the project so the design cost was negligible. Had we rejected the design or the build (changed our minds about the whole thing) then we’d have had to pay the full design cost.

@@donjohnson5123 Interesting.

@@user-kt9zs yeah it’s kind of cool how that works. Basically it’s 100% return on the design cost (discounts off the cost of the build) if you agree to the build. I assume the designer gets paid a reasonable fee by the builder. Reject the build we’d have had to pay the designer $45 Million Dong for wasting his time. Since we never intended to change our minds …… I think it’s an enticement to encourage you to proceed with the build. Who knows.

@@user-kt9zs Thank you. Your comments have been very kind and appreciated. Both surprised and impressed. The design we put together was I thought going to be a challenge but the builder and his team have done an amazing job. They know how to build homes out here and I love that it’s all brick and mortar and plaster, no “wood studs” CDX plywood and drywall like in America. You should see some of the U.S. money multi million dollar villas they build out in Saigon and Hanoi. Id have never done this normally but the land price and build price with the exchange rate (where we are located) makes it easy. Land prices in HCMC and Hanoi are 50X a square meter more than what we paid and that’s not even joking. Even here in Hoi An the land prices were 25X more what we paid per square meter of land out where we are situated Wife and I shopped around for everything going inside the home from kitchen cabinets to bath hardware to lighting and switches and switch plates and appliances and on and on. That hustle on our part saved us thousands of dollars compared to just letting the builder do it all without question.

@@donjohnson5123 Yea, properties in prime areas in Saigon are ridiculous. I saw one listed the other day 110sm condo for $1.5 million. 99% of Americans could not afford prime property in Saigon. Prices driven to the Moon by corruption, fraud and money laundering. I read that the average price for villas and shop houses in Saigon is now $20,000/sm. Really crazy. Thailand has a much better real estate market and I thought their market was not so great until I saw Vietnam's.

@@donjohnson5123 Yea you did well. Looks really nice.

@@user-kt9zs You’re Welcome. About 50 kilometers.

Not a bad idea except that there are (in some respects probably wealthier than me in secret) poor hard working farm people living in the area. They’d think I was nuts. This is farming culture we’re moving to. In HCMC and Hanoi where they have million dollar Villa neighborhoods sure, but out here in the rural simple farm lands the local people would marvel at the insanity and strangeness of wasting water in such a fashion. There’s a house around the bend that has a huge cement pond out front filled with fish and little boys sit there and fish it. I believe it serves in part as a food source. A “private” small portable water feature for that effect, yeah, I can do it, but inside the inner courtyard, vestibule that is in the center of the house on the rice field side or up on the second floor patio.

@@donjohnson5123 Cool. Look forward to the next update.
