    Hi... New to the channel and enjoying the content..... Thinking! We all do lots of that, maybe too much, thinking of the past or thinking of the future when the only real thing is the present moment, if we can capture the present it's a wonderful liberating freedom being in the moment...... Keep up the good work, best wishes.

      I also do UA-cam and only film on my phone. Its just the light. If you film between 11am and 4pm the whites will blow out. I love filming in 'golden hour' around 5.30pm ish. You can avoid the white blow out if you adjust the color balance, but really its no big deal in your videos. Also in this part of the world after 3pm is best time to be out as its less harsh sun.@@RetireandGo

    I'm next door in Myanmar. I retired from being a Director of bla bla. Became a teacher and worked all over the world for a decade (real teacher not an English Teacher). Now on my last contract before I retire. Retire to me just means transition to the next thing. The next thing is UA-cam which I already started, fashion stuff and a couple of other ventures.

      Very poor comment about English teachers like any jobs their are folks who represent it poorly! That tone in your written comment reflects what many English language teachers think of so called main stream teachers that graduated from a University and went abroad as they couldn't cope with classroom management issues of Western school systems so went to Asia......just my thoughts enjoy!
