Great video Todd Thanks for sharing. Before you spoke about the way Mina is getting taller. I was going to comment that she's looking so much healthier since she came to live with you and Neenee. It's the better diet and a good lifestyle that's working wonders for her. Even the regular structure of school days must help. Well done mate.
What a fun video Todd. Mina is growing up before your eyes. Your Lao family knows how to put on a fun wedding and Todd the snappy dresser. Got to love those suits. Got check out that place when I get to Lao one day. I got to ask you this I know your a basketball fan. Your top 5 basketball players of all time. Do you get a chance to shoot hoops ? All the best mate👍👍 Jim and Harriet
A nice vlog Todd. Mina sure is a knowledge sponge. You and Neenee should be very proud of how you’ve changed this little girl’s life so much. We are all proud of what you’ve achieved.
Thanks for all the hard work! Have a beer on me, I hear it's pretty hot there atm. And NeeNee was saying inflation is uitting hard, so hope this covers a beer or evn two :)
Mina has grown happy and healthy full of life bringing a lot of joy to all of us . She is going to be a movie star , not shy and so aware of the camera , playing to it all the time . She knows we are there lol .
Yup,good move,we think alike mate.....can never be over cautious,about vehicles,especially the locations you go. Don't wanna get stuck out on those back roads ,with the family mate. 🙏. At this stage,Mina is having a growth spurt ( lol) Cheers Kenno
@@NowinLao .... Yes definitely the diet,coming from that poor village,malnutrition,no doubt very common. I like the way you have on a healthy diet ,same as you. Its ok to have some not so healthy things out in the sticks ( no choice,at times/places). As you mentioned,once you get home,its back to the healthy diet and your exercise regime,pool/gym.Passing that on to Mina is perfect.I'm proud of her, as far as how well she is progressing at school,she must have a great teacher. Neenee,at home does a great job to ,with her obviously.( we see ) The both of you must be commended. Question Todd: you are funding Mina's brother ,back in the village. How much a month/year,would that cost ?...Cheers Ken
Who knew, Todd, that you could have been a Harlem Globetrotter!! 🤣 Spinning the bball on top of one finger! My jaw dropped when I saw how quickly Mina picked up dribbling. You Go Girl! Basketball was invented in Massachusetts, New England, USA originally using peach baskets with the bottoms removed for the hoops. I often drive by the basketball hall of fame in Springfield, MA. Next you'll have to start teaching Mina's friends to dribble so they can have a girl's basketball team when they are older! 🤩
Was on the street where Tully's used to be and right across the street the are building a really cool hotel with a pool and basic Colonial French look. Even tough we have a house not too far away the wife and I were saying " wow we should stay there once just for fun". Nice to see someone do something not modern western.
Great vlog. Seems like a fun time at the wedding. Both your ladies look adorable in their formal dresses, very nice suit Todd. Mina loves the dancing part. She going to be a basketball 🏀 girl soon. Just need the hoop/bang board and the game is on. The trooper did well. Keep up the great vlogs. Stay safe and healthy Todd Neenee and young sweet Mina.❤❤❤😊😊😊
Hey Papa Todd. Hahaha I'm with my mom for the next two weeks. My sister is off to the UK. I really enjoy my time with my wonderful mom. 92 and still kicking. Mina looks great. You two are doing fantastic with her. God bless you brother. Talk to you soon mate. Cheers brother.❤❤❤
Hi mum..👋 I hope you're making Frank eat all his vege's! yeah, Mina is growing super quick now mate... loving consistent wholesome meals! I wish I had the energy she does and how quickly she absorbs things. She'll be better than me at English in no time!😆 You enjoy your time with mum 😉
I miss Vientiane. I live now in Canada. I used to live in Thailand for 6 years. In Lampang Thailand. Todd went there once with his mom and Nene. I went to Laos 3 times. Vientiane a nice city. Canada is cold and snowy. I love now in Lao. It brings back good memories.
G'day from Tweed Heads Australia... When I travelled back in the day I loved the interaction with the Lao people... Take care Todd n Neenee n Mina... I hope to meet you in person one day in Laos. Maybe we could exchange emails for communication 🤔...
Mina is such a quick learner isn't she. Growing as quickly as she is and being so active she will enjoy most sports I think. That was some Auto Shop you went to and the guy certainly seems to know what he is talking about. Great to see a bit of home life along with your tour vlogs. Love you all, God bless 😀❤🙏
@@NowinLao Thanks for asking Todd. Getting a little stronger each day, although can't get out and about much due to pollution. Going to order strong PM 2.5 masks from Lazada, so should be ok then. 😷😀
Mina will soon have the hang of basketball thanks to Papa Todd and the dancing thanks to Mama Neenee. Dale has quite the car and motorcycle collection. Yes that is a very nice bougainvillea. How fast they grow. 👍👍💖💖
Mina is really coming out of her shell, so glad to see with the love you and Nenee are giving Mina. You got her doing really good with the basketball, soon you will be having her slam dunk in a few years. Lovely wedding with lively people having a blast, plus I love the James Bond comment coming from a big Bond fan. Nice yard you have Todd and yeah, that little tree is awesome and rare to find in America for sure. I can tell you and Nenee have a really busy life with taking care of Mina and the house, the autos, planning trips, weddings, festivals, and so much more, time to have a frosty one after supper and relax, just watching reminded me of those 10 to 12 hour work days going all over the states and around the cities I have lived and help build. Bless you all Todd🙏 till next time I give my best wishes of health and love to you all.
Hi Guys Mina is definately starting to sprout. Just a quick point for package colection in Laos. When i went to pick up a package in Pakxan short while ago, they would not accept my ID, only ID of locals.
@@chrisperkins7331 so anybody with a Lao ID can claim your parcel? Seems weird. That would make it extremely hard for any foreigner living in Laos without a Lao partner to receive mail.
@@chrisperkins7331 ok, we've gotten to the bottom of it. Whoever's name the P.O. box has been set up in, you need their "P.O.box user card" and ID.. plus the ID of the person it is addressed to. 👌😉
150k isn't the end of the world for a timing belt, especially I'd imagine on a troopy. But for where you're taking it and the damage it'd do to evrrything else I guess its a must have 😂
They have tried to promote basketball in Africa but it has never picked up it's seen as middle class to upper class sport.football is popular all over Africa.leagues such as English premier league la Liga, MLS,bundesliga, Australia A league etc.Rugby is second base being south Africa and cricket last in Zimbabwe and south Africa.
They grow up far too quickly nowadays Todd the older you get the faster time flies. Better to be sure than sorry with timing belts for sure mate. Bushyboy Oz.
When people turn 45yrs here marriages just fail .older people marriages had very difficult lives people of the 70s backwards and there marriages lasted more.
Thanks Todd, got another one ready will post next week.
You're a Godsend Anne Maree.. Thank you 💚
You guys rock xox
Working away and suddenly I’m off on another adventure in Laos 🇱🇦👍👍
It really breaks up the work day.

You never fail to put a smile on my face.
Thanks!
Your generosity never ceases to amaze me Frank. Thank you! Hope you've been taking care of yourself mate🙏

What a smart child, and she is lucky to have you as her dad!

Thanks for all the hard work! Have a beer on me, I hear it's pretty hot there atm. And NeeNee was saying inflation is uitting hard, so hope this covers a beer or evn two :)
Stinking bloody hot mate and lots of smoke because of the farmers burning off. Absolute legend Gregory 💪 Thank you mate 🙏
@@NowinLao Eventually I'll come have a beer with ya! Take Care.
Really like these updates
Mina has grown happy and healthy full of life bringing a lot of joy to all of us .
She is going to be a movie star , not shy and so aware of the camera , playing to it all the time .

Definitely not shy mate 😉👍

Thnks for the video. I'm heading up to Lao next month. Thnks for sharing.
Safe travels 🙏

Hey Todd that bougainvillea reminded me of those dodgy rainbow coloured bags of popcorn corn you use to be able to get as a kid.
Mina is enjoying

My gf is from laos.
I ve never been there but i have to visit once.
I think that system they have woth the monétaire wedding gifts is really clever
Thought you were gonna buy that flowery suit for the party
Todd, I'll be in Laos for a few weeks; hope to see and your beautiful family.

I stayed in a village just outside Phayoa in 2022. Going back this October
Make sure they do the bearings when they change the timing belt.
Wow,so happy for you mate.Your wife and Nina was so pretty in there outfits.Your so lucky mate.
Suits are popular in Africa black grey,old school is promoted but my generation has replaced suits with official half sweater or sweater black.
Great video 👍🙂

Fantastic video you look good in A suit .
Hmm a bit strange , thought how the lass had grown,in the start . Found out how much at the end :-)
Timing belt is a absolute must do , timing belt go bang , motor go bang
Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Camaro and I think the red car might be a Chevrolet Vega. Mina is the best!
Beautiful life 🎉
Hoping to retire in laos, someday!
💯🔥💙👍
Can you do a video about scamming in Laos? What precautions should Tourists or foreigners be aware of and what to do if got scammed in Laos. .
Please define scam
"Hands on" on a car like that, saves a lot of money.😄
👍👍👍
👍
สวัสดีค่ะ
hi guys
Like to know how much a cam belt change is on that
Will let you know 👍
I think the red car with no hood is a Fiat 124 Sport Coupé.
Yes, that's what I was guessing. I had Uno, Tipo. Now Coupe Turbo
yes that's 3 votes Fiat 124 Sport Coupé.
@@lional6291 I confess to electronic cheating! I had the general era and that it was likely Italian, but I screen shot it and then did image search.
I always wanted the SPIDER version so I do know them.@@spongesurf12
Hi Guys Mina is definately starting to sprout. Just a quick point for package colection in Laos. When i went to pick up a package in Pakxan short while ago, they would not accept my ID, only ID of locals.
Was your name on the parcel or your wifes? Both our names were on this that's why I needed both ID's.
@@NowinLao I think It was mine, but I remeber she (post office lady)said the ID used had to be a Lao ID.
@@chrisperkins7331 so anybody with a Lao ID can claim your parcel? Seems weird. That would make it extremely hard for any foreigner living in Laos without a Lao partner to receive mail.
@@NowinLao I agre, but that was my experiance.

If a foreigner obtains citizenship in Laos would they be able to purchase land? Or do you have be the spouse of a person who originates from there?
Hello, I’m in Laos for 1 day on 3/25. I would love to have a beer with you and your wife. Is your restaurant still open?
Today is the 25th. Sorry, we closed the restaurant last year.
Awww, you inspired me to visit Laos. Wished to meet you.
@@annalise372 I'm sorry, usually with a bit of notice I'm able to meet up with people, but to squeeze it in today is impossible. Too busy sorry 🙏

show Mina a ladies basketball game from yioutube and she will get the idea also Netball
My generation people have stopped big weddings due to divorces.if a marriage passes 3yrs it's a miracle.
Looks like it was a great wedding. You wouldn't be able to do a Lao style wedding in the US. It would most likely wind up being a shootout. 🙏👍
