I left St.John's in 1995 but this modern video made me feel like I was back at home again. So many changes but still the same quaint feeling of the inner city. ❤❤
The downtown and immediate surrounding area of St. John's is so full of character and beauty. It's unfortunate the urban sprawl lacks any of this. Thank you for sharing.
very well done! i thought it was going to another typical walking video, but no! it was surprisingly different! better in many ways, but i do like a simple walking video sometimes, especially when it's done right. you grabbed my attention both visually and auditory at the beginning and kept my attention till the end. you got my thumbs up and a sub! maybe (if you could) add 5 more seconds to each scene would be nice, nothing wrong with a few more seconds for the viewers to absorb. great for the viewers and to your youtube watch time analytics. win win! oh and your window reflection is at 6:50. lol.
It's awesome that you had a sunny day, now show the world what the other 364 days are like. Ha waddya at B'y. lotsa love from C.B.S. (next door to St John's)
You would have to be a mountain goat to live there, I don’t think there’s one flat area in the entire city! In many ways it reminds me of Halifax, just much smaller, but still a proud part of our maritime traditions….aka, bars, bars, and more bars! LOL! I guess you work up at thirst climbing up all those steep hills! If you want to make money open a automotive brake shop, with the entire city built on a hill, you probably have to change your brakes more than you do your lightbulbs! I definitely would not want to be driving down one of those streets in the dead of winter without chains on my tires! I’m afraid I would end up in the harbor! But it really is an incredibly beautiful city, with so much history, it’s an absolute must see for every single Canadian, and for everyone for that matter, as it plays a huge role in the Americas history. It’s amazing how few people know it is the oldest city in North America, first being occupied countless centuries ago. There’s just too much to describe using mirror words, the only way, the best way, to experience it is to go there, trust me you’ll be glad you did, the people are unbelievably friendly, especially if you come from a big city like Toronto, LA, Chicago, New York, etc. We’re not used to complete strangers talking to us, but after a few days, they make you feel like you belong there, just trust me on this, if this Covid thing ever calms down, make it a point to go visit the city, and the province, it’s absolutely stunning, and massive, give yourself a lot of time, if your goal is to drive around the entire island. Luckily I have a gigantic family on my mother side from Nova Scotia originally, but now they’re scattered all over the Maritimes, which is great, free accommodation! I think the thing I love most about it besides the family people, is the feeling of being in a big city, yet at the same time feeling like you’re in a small town, because the people are just so personable and kind, something I’m definitely not used to living here in Toronto, where if you look at somebody the wrong way you get shot.
That's great - really gives you a flavour of the place. Not everything has to be hyperlapses and fast cuts. (Such a shame that so much of Canada is covered in wires, though.)
@@sparkes962 I’ve seen some evidences for this argument. But I’m sure some are just down on their luck. One advice that people who are just temporarily homeless usually get is that they shouldn’t hang out with other homeless people for this reason you mentioned.
People bumming on the street is a part of pretty much every major urban area. This is not a new concept. There does seem to be more in St. John's now in the last few years than there used to be, though.
The guy at 5:56 lives in my area; in a group home. I've seen him around the bus stop (which he does wait for the bus at) recently, so I assume my info is still up to date. He takes the bus out to town where the customers are plenty - an approximate 32 km round trip - since in around our area there's not nearly enough people walking by any given place to sustain a panhandler. I don't know why he is in the predicament he is, nor why he chooses to participate in this, but I do want to make it clear that he _does_ choose to do this, and he's _not_ (to my knowledge) actually homeless. Further, he's not unique when it comes to this concept. As a few have pointed out, this is a very common thing to see in and around the city, and there's a vast array of reasons that lead to any of those people winding up where they do. However, given that there is a fair drug problem here, many citizens won't give any panhandlers money (directly) because they are likely to use it to buy drugs. Other times people won't give because they believe (or know) the panhandler isn't in as dire needs as they let on, and not too uncommonly; a panhandler will get salty at you because you don't give them money, causing you to ignore them from then on in an attempt to avoid a repeat of that situation. One annoying instance with myself involved a very persistent guy; who, every time I walked past (I was unloading a car and had to walk by him multiple times), would ask me for change even though I (truthfully) told him I literally had no money to give him at the start. His requests got progressively angrier as I had to keep denying him, then eventually I ignored him. The majority of panhandlers aren't like this, but you (inevitably) get a percentage that is. A popular thing to do if you want to help is offer the person food, or any other necessity they may need, and if they only want money it's best to move on to someone else who's willing to accept your help (but not money). As you can expect, the homeless (and those in need) are quite happy to receive all resources you're willing to give -- not just money. We have groups of generous people that either knit garments, make resource packages, or otherwise go around giving items to the homeless throughout the year. This helps, but it can only reach so many (and only last so long). Through more participation in these types of activities, more people could have a greater affect on helping the homeless (and people otherwise down on their luck), instead of just believing they do any time they 'spare some change' ...
So sorry to hear this. Churches are worship places. These type of ideas are turning the Europe and America into atheist majority. We Indians thirst for God and that give us permanent peace which nothing else can provide. May God bless you.
Love how you capture the essence of day to day life downtown, just simple video technique, not fancy. Just raw and real.
Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed it.
Right raw by’
@@fartspoo4244 Thanks. User name checks out
Beautiful soundtrack 👌✌️
I used to work with a girl years ago in Ontario, who had decided to go to St. John's to go to school there. She loved it there and never came back.
that's my situation right now, actually, haha. I'm in Waterloo, lookin to start over and move over there.

Beautifully done. I also use x3. May I know the film simulation setting used for this video?

haha Charles, you made me laugh. I had the same feeling while watching it. Still, we have a few more days like that to be fair. Great video.
Is it cold to that extend?
My cousin used to live in Newfoundland but I have never been. I plan to take the ferry from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland.

Well said.
This was powerful!
Studied at MUN for a couple of years, the nostalgia is strong with thia one.
What do u think about it?
Is it a good university?
Are there job opportunities for international students
@@watheqjawarneh2919 Yes its a good university, and there are jobs available for international students
@@justinm1724 thank you for answering

Makes me homesick.😔
What's stopping you?
Makes me homesick and I'm not even from there 😉
this is beautifully shot, what camera are you using?
Thanks. I have a Fujifilm X-T30. I shot all of this with a 50mm
So sad to see so many people walk by the homeless! How could they not give something. Thank you for sharing the city in it's truth.
Because they are all drug addicts and not homeless just don't want to work 🙄 they all live in boarding houses or shelters

@@rickyhineman4124 Good point. Thanks for sharing
Ok I think I’m ready to leave the craziness of Vancouver lol. Is the city as calm as it appears on the video?
Yes. I can confirm
Is Memorial University good and are there job opportunities for international students ?
Amazing!! Are you still based here in Newfoundland?
Not anymore unfortunately
Nice video! What is the background music?
It’s a track from Epidemic Sounds
Great, we are going to be there later this summer, was hoping we wouldn't have to deal with bums on the streets.
bum on da streets 🤨
Reminds me a little bit of the look of down town Berlin .. just saying, it has that aura.
Who made the music?
Songs are from Epidemic Sounds, a soundtrack service. I think the title was something Viking related.
song? in the background?
Yes. There was music.
Looks similar to Halifax.
Music, please. 😀
