We never once went to ki kis
Mattanda J-Fred Haha, so either Mathais is wrong about ke kes or you parents only took him and not you.
I was actually fortunate enough to be able to go back and relive some of my favorite memories back in October, when i returned to California for a visit. It had been almost 12 years since i had been out there, and some things were different, but not everything. The people are what i miss most about being out there. Not the touristy shops, or Charlie Browns Farms, but the family i have found. A woman i consider on of my four grandmothers has been in failing health for about two years, and she's starting to get Alzheimer's and having issues remembering who people are, but as soon as i walked into the room, she smiled broadly and said 'there's my babygirl'. Then a man i consider my grandfather (who is also in failing health) looked at me like i was the most important person in the world to him. I can still smell Grandma Vera's famous seafood gumbo cooking...i can hear Uncle Darrell laughing...and i can see Grammy McIntyre wearing her colorful and wonky-looking hats in church.
Minty MizFit I'm so sorry 😢
A retention pond is a field near a river to prevent flooding. So if it rains a lot, the rivier will overflow, but it will flow into the retention pond. We also have these in the Netherlands, and i used to play in them too! Btw, i love your vid's!
My grandparent's old house. They abruptly moved about 4 years ago now but I can still vividly remember the inside and the amazing trees in the backyard I loved so much. I think they had a couple willow trees, but I'm not sure! All I know is they were fun to play on and all the bunnies and squirrels got names whenever we visited. I miss that house a lot.
Oh man, the nostalgia hits so hard. I've moved away from my home town to another country to study and haven't seen it for 3 years. I would definitely revisited my childhood with friends, when all I cared about was getting out of the house and just do stuff with my friends. I'm actually really proud that I've managed to keep the friendship going with my best friend for over 15 years now. Can't wait for summer to go back to my sunny home town and hang out with my friends and family.
I'm originally from Pennsylvania, and my grandparents had a shore house on L.B.I. (Long Beach Island) which is, the Jersey Shore. I miss that place so much and all the memories it has. I also miss the homemade clam chowder and fudge! It's an awesome place to visit, and whenever I talk to my friends from Pennsylvania we always end up talking about the shore and its fond memories.
I would LOVE to revisit my grandparents' house in Cleveland. I lived in Hawaii most of my life, so I would always get so excited to visit my grandparents' house, especially during winter.
OMG!!! I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING!!! That part at the end where Matthias was just like: "YEAH!" LOLZ
I'd love to go back to when I was about 8/9 in my old house. I have so many good memories there. There were several families with kids living on that street, and we would all go outside pretty much everyday. One thing we loved to play was "Chalk City". We would make roads and houses drawn on the sidewalks/road with chalk and drive on the chalk roads with our bikes, scooters and 'wigglecars'.
Some days some of us would be bad guys and steal some pebbles from a neighbor's house, and then the rest would be the good guys. The good guys would track down the bad guys and we would have this epic showdown/fight where we would all dramatically die. I actually fractured my wrist playing that one day, I took a sharp turn on my bike while being chased by good guys.
I could go on forever about back then lol
About the retention pond: like you said, in areas with a lot of rainfall, the water needs to flow somewhere -- so sometimes if you build on such an area with a natural slope, excessive, uncontrolled underground water flow will actually cause a lot of erosion, which can be bad for the land, plants, and building foundations. Thus, builders will make large retention ponds like what you saw that are at lower levels than everything else so that the water flows there, and then under these ponds, there will be specific types of soil/stones/plants that can be used to filter and control the movement of surface water down into and through the ground. :)
The street I grew up on used to have these old, huge elm trees that lined the street and made such a good canopy over the sidewalks and houses. But when I got a little older the trees all died from the West Elm disease, and even though some new trees have been planted it just doesn't have that same charm.
As for the QOTD...mine's not a memory so much as a wish. I was born two weeks late and my paternal grandfather passed away just a few days before I was finally born. I think it would have been so nice for the whole family for me to have been born on time and thus be able to meet him, even if I would never have remember it.
The place you used to live in is very beautiful, Matthias. The 'no parking on the street' thing makes all the difference indeed. It's great when you talk about your stories and your past. It really makes this vlog a lot more intimate and relatable. And I think it would be nice to know more about Amanda's stories too! :)
A memory that I would like to revisit would be with my mom and our trip to Disneyworld. It was one of the best memories I have of her from when I was a child. And I agree with Matthias completely that overtime memories become fainter and it's good to revisit the past when your able
Me and my whole family would always go on our pontoon boat on a lake that was about 45 minutes away and we all bought a house and would take our campers and we would stay weeks/months at a time it was amazing! Me and my brother were the two that missed it the most, so we talked to our grandparents and last year they bought us a new pontoon boat since they sold the other one. Now every weekend we go back up there, like we used to!! =D
Thank you guys for sharing your lovely adventures with us. It makes us feel more connected to you guys. Keep up the amazing work as always.
So excited to see your videos about Orlando! I live right next to Dr. Phillips, and I recognized many of the places you visited. Hope you enjoyed your visit to Florida!
Christmas with my family when my grandparents were still around. Once they died, my family kinda fell apart and drifted away. I miss those days and it was the best.
Hunting with my grandfather, I can't anymore because he passed away from cancer 4 years ago. But I all ways remember him and I waking up early in the morning to go out in to his woods and we would drink hot cocoa and just talk. I miss him everyday and I wish I could go back and just talk with him for hours.
I tend to enjoy my time at home more than going out, and I've always lived in the same house for my whole life. We used to have our computer (which I spend a large amount of time on) in this one room that was dedicated to our computer stuff and it had this certain smell to it that whenever I walk into it I get a ton of memories, but we moved the computer out into the tv room which is a lot bigger and converted the computer room into a storage room. Sometimes there can be a lot of commotion in the tv room and a lot of times I wish I had the seclusion of the old computer room. I can't really move my computer back into that room, and I wish I could revisit the old room with its old setup. I know that the question was asking something a little different, but when I think back to my childhood, that room stands out to me the most. I also had a question for Matthias, I know you talked a little about it in the video, but whats the story behind you living in Florida for (from what it sounded like) a year then moving back?
I am so glad you guys are having so much fun. Especially you Matt
I just moved, and I haven't been gone for 12 years, but the things I used to know from there are fading, because I am trying to embrace this new place I live in, and switching high schools doesn't help as I try to figure out what high school is about. But this new place is going to be awesome, I know that, and it isn't going to do me any good to sulk in the good memories I had there, and never make any good memories here. But that cool that you remember the things that you did there in Florida and that you have memories, just when you talked about the memory stuff I felt like I could relate a little bit.
I felt what you were saying Matt about big changes. I Moved from Boston to Cleveland 12 years ago and went through the same..ironically, I'm going to visit in June... so it was cool to be able to relate..dope channel guys.
Your dad worked for Disney oh my gosh
Watching this as a Floridian is funny
I would visit upstate New York again. Me and my dad stayed there for a month when I was about 9. I have a lot of family up there, and it is just a very lovely town. I miss it so much!
It's so cool seeing places you've been 1000 of times in a vlog... It's feels different when it's through someone's eyes
In a couple of weeks, by a roundabout way, my sister and I will be going back (from Montana) to Virginia where we grew up. We are planning to take along a couple of our cousins from Manitoba, Canada, who also grew up there. Hoping to see some old familiar places, as well as spend time with our Grandparents, Uncles, Aunts and Cousins. Your neighborhood in Florida find of reminds me of where I grew up, except I lived in the country. I'm not sure yet what specific places we will go to, or who we will end up seeing, but I am "Super Stoked!" as Matthias would say!
There's this place near where I live where my best friend and I attended her brothers baseball games. It was called the VFW, sort of like a banquet hall in the building and then baseball fields surrounding it. Behind one of the fields, there was this small strip of forest, but there were little trails and stuff in it. We used to go back there all the time, and play games and stuff. They closed it off now, but I wish I could go back there and relive the times I had.
What's weird about eating in a cafeteria and then going back to class? I don't understand why that's weird.
IDK. That's how lunch was for me. Cafeteria. Although, I DO live in south florida.
I would want to revisit my high school band trip to Disney. It was amazing and we preformed in the Magic Kingdom. It was a really fun trip.
I get what your saying about huge changes. I used to live in FL for 9 years and i am going back in FL for a vacation and i am actually going to my old house!
AHHHHH U LIVED 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM ME IM DYING
+Elysia Moak OMG you lived in my county as well *fangirls*
I'm pretty sure I walked around that neighborhood when I was on a mission trip last summer
Great day in the past! I want to revisit the days when I went to Disney for a week!
The trip I took to Italy last summer, I sometimes get flashbacks of it and I loved the experience.
awe i loved this video. it was very nostalgic!! i got second-hand nostalgia. i remember when my family was visiting california and we were in one of our old neighborhoods, my mom pointed out our old house and the old zoo we use to go to! I was a baby at the time so i didnt know any of it but i felt super nostalgic about it. it was quite a weird sensation, but quite nice.
I used to live in Cape Town, South Africa when I was little, but we moved back to the UK when I was 5 so I'd love to go back there and see my old house and the market my mom used to go to and see table mountain :). Xx
Definitely doing stuff with my family, because now they're either distant or busy. Or in some cases, not with us anymore. I miss those times.
QOTD: This isn't exactly answering the question, but this past year we just moved back to my hometown in NY. Eventually I'd like to get out of here (it's a small town) and move closer to a city, but for now it's nice to be around the area I grew up in again. :)
Also, I've probably said this before but, your cinematography is so beautiful! I could watch an entire video of the cutaways where you play music and film different scenery. :) It's really unique.
In 2012, my family was made to move out of the house my parents had lived in for 26 years because the land the house was on belonged to a mining company. I was only 18 at the time and had never lived anywhere else so it sucked to see my entire childhood just taken away and torn down like that. But now, almost 3 years later, it's really just a memory and it would be weird to see our old house again, but I still know it by heart. Sorry for the novel, I could just relate to what you were talking about haha
I would love to go back and spend a weekend at my grandma's cabin. When my grandpa passed away we all sort of stopped going. My grandma passed away in 2013 and we sold it. I created so many amazing memories and I would give anything to go back.
My friends mom owns the keke's on Fairbanks! it's so funny that you guys went there. The neighborhood I grew up in has the trees overhanging too. I kinda forgot that the trees are such a big part of florida, and the lakes. And yes a retention pond is where the water goes when it rains a ton. like we have a few in the park near our house and my mom hates them. She thinks they're super dangerous for kids because they just looks like a patch of land when it's not raining, but the land is usually wet and kids can trip or sink into the ground or something like that. And they look much more shallow than they are because when they're filled with water the land absorbs it and kinda becomes "hollow" if that makes sense. I don't know I never had a problem with them.
aotd: if I could relive one moment of my life it'd probably be the road trips my family took to Jacksonville from winterpark to see our grandparents. We always had so much fun there because our grandparents had food that our mom wouldn't let us eat at home and a bunch of toys and the guest room room was super cool. All of that was before my dad and my grandpa died. It used to be such a fun place and now we don't go there anymore because after my granddad died, my grandma moved here to winter park. I remember once I put on a talent show for my family and I sang like a song and my brother did a wrestling match, we used the bed as a stage and my sister probably did something too that I can't remember. Like I've said in other aotd, singing has always been a huge part of my life so it's cool to remember all of that from my childhood that I had completely forgotten, thanks!
I would love to go back and visit this big park in Denton,Tx have a lot of memories there.
LAN Parties. We used to have those all the time out here in Reno. Especially when Unreal Tournament 2004 came out. I was seven at the time, but I beat the room at the game which was filled with adults! Haha, good times.
When I was a kid, we used to go up in the mountains to a place called Wartburg Falls. We would climb up around behind a waterfall to the ledge beyond it, and then jump into the water below. As a child, it seemed like it was really high up, but I think it may have only been about 15 feet (which is certainly high enough). We had to wear life-jackets when we jumped, so that we would pop up to the surface quickly. We also had to be careful and jump out away from the ledge so that we wouldn't hit the rocks below. How crazy is that? I don't know how my parents did it, having to watch out for 4 kids, but we could all swim great and we always did stuff like that up in the mountains of Tennessee, swimming in lakes and creeks and stuff. I think I would be too scared to take my 3 girls to do something like that, I'd be so worried about them. But that was normal for us as a child. Unfortunately, the Falls got closed off when I was growing up, and you're not allowed to go there, but that is a place I would love to revisit, if it were still the same as it was back then.
That lens created some beautiful shots!
I don't have many places I'd want to revisit because I've practically lived in the house that parents are in right now for as long as I can remember! I vaguely remember the house we lived in before that but we moved to the current house when I was like 9. But it's always nice to go home between semesters (I'm in college on the other side of the country from my house).
Well I learned something new Matthias used to live around where I live. Also yeah those orange yellow cabs >.>
I had the awesome opportunity to visit Hong Kong the summer of 2009 and visit my friend there for a week. I would love to revisit that.
I would revisit the time I lived in La Maddalena Italy. I lived there from the age of 2-5 so my first childhood memories are of that little island.
Great video!
i don't know what time or place i would like to revisit, but i loved Epcot when i went because i love learning about new places. they also had the fun Phineas and Ferb game.
i work at a fresh market in Louisiana. the best way to describe it to people is its a specialty store. you find things you won't find in a normal grocery store. it is expensive but it is worth it. the store i work at is much smaller than that one.
If I could relive a memory, I would go back and visit my grandma and grandpa at their retirement complex… I always got to drink ginger ale there.
I would love to go back to America (specially California), I live in Spain, but I lived in America for a year, it was one of the best periods of my life, and I would give anything to go back.
Love you
Matt: *talking talking rambling *
Amanda: Its a helicopter!
Matt: *whips around *
Hey Mathias that's awesome I used to live there and I went to that exact YMCA
Mattanda i love ur vlogs and matthias' videos, im so happy i found u thru mark and jack (irl google and hologram), anyways ur in my top five favorite youtubers and ur videos always can get me in a happy mood cuz of how happy u guys are
I wish I could re visit my great grandma's house when she was alive because we were extremely close and we would watch nascar and baseball together. And I remember when she was still able to walk pretty well on her own, we would go in her backyard and plant/harvest tomatoes
I would really like to visit the pool and library in the town I used to live in when I was young. They hold some good childhood memories for me at a time when things weren't so good.
QOTD . I live in Co.Dublin in Ireland and there's like 1.6 million people(which is huge for a county in Ireland) but I loved going to a small village called Bodyke, Co.Clare to visit my grandparents on the farm and it stunk of cow shi...poop but like the thing you said about the certain smells would take you back.
I would go back to an ice-cream shop in Wellington, NewZealand, where I used to get a waffle cone of ice-cream with my mum after every piano lesson I had on Monday :)
These Vlogs are awesome
I would have to day I would want to revisit almost all the different mission trips I've been lucky enough to be a part of. We went to South Dakota, Alabama, London, El Salvador, and South Carolina.... so much fun... I (We as in our group) all get a Jesus high whenever we come back from our trips...
The mission trip I just recently went on, Alabama, actually is how I met my current girlfriend. We are still very happy together and loving life together ;)
I would revisit the time I lived in Florida. I was there from 0-4 and then moved to Maryland.
YAY LONG VLOG!
Jack in the crack, mickey D's, Taco smell, Wally world. That's what my dad calls all those places.
I was laughing hysterically when you said Kiki's Breakfast Caca because in Spanish Caca = Poop XD
When I was 13 me and my family went to Chilli Willies bar and grill in Islamorada and had their home-made giant cookies. To this day still the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had~
I remember the day before we left the Keys to drive back up to Orlando so we could grab our flight back to England, we bought a dozen of the cookies and they gave me a free t-shirt ;_;
I still have the shirt over 7 years later even though I've heard that the bar has closed down :/
I wish I could relive when I met Tyler Oakley because I was able to say hi and hug him and talk for 2 minutes and I just wish I could meet him again and spend some time getting to know him more than just watching his videos.
+Mathias +AmandaFaye Best vlog so far!
You guys are an awesome couple.
QOTD: My parents died when I was 1. I was raised by my grandparents who have both passed away. I have been living on my own for the past 4 years. Its not really a memory or anything but if I had a chance I would love to just be able to spend one more day with my grandparents, and thank them for everything that they did for me in helping shape me into the 28 year old man that I am today.
Hehe, I live in Dr. Phillips. I recognize everything! :)
I live 10 minutes from Dr. Phillips area! So weird seeing it on camera lol
Man, I'm near Tampa, definitely would have driven to Tampa to meet you. Ironic because I grew up in Los Angeles and now live in Florida. You lived in Florida and now in Los Angeles. Cray.
i live in orlando and i was almost cryed of joy
My school is the same. We get our lunch trays, and go back to class. It sucks. Lunch is the only time we can talk to our friends :(
I lived in Canada for like 5 years from ages 1-6 and its so weird as theyre such distant memories now, like almost dreams, plus its so different to Northern Ireland where im from and I live now, so id love to revisit my old place in Ottawa it would be so cool :)
I would love to back to South Dakota because when I was little we went there and I would love to revisit the things we did. We have it on video but I still can't remember it that well
QOTD: I don't remember much of my childhood, so I don't know any points there I would like to go back to and re-live. Last year, however, was an awesome point in my life. It was my first ever time out of my home country when I went on a Geography trip down to England then under 2 weeks later I went over to France and Belgium for a History trip. Those 2-4 weeks I would LOVE to re-visit!
i want to revisit the park of the town i used to live in when i lived in LA, i have a lot of good memories there.
I live on the east coast so i definitely see the trees almost everywhere, but i do live more northern, so they are not as common. P.S. Tea forte is a really expensive, delicious tea brand, i have their loose leaf tea, which is really flavorful. Sorry for typing that "P.S.", i just waned to give you guys some brief description of the product since you guys might've liked, idk. ouo
Haha, Michael, Matt and Matthias on the same block (sub division) 😁 is there something about names beginning with M there? 😁😁 also, the place you lived for a brief moment of your life is very beautiful; and I know what you mean about the trees overhanging the street, it all looks very clean 😊
I would like to revisit my grandparents house 10 years ago, because 90% of my childhood memories were spent there.
So artsy I can't!!
Thanks for the vid. I found it very touching as i really can comprehend your thoughts. We also moved to another city long ago. And when I revisited the old places years later, I was kind of disappointed, because in my memories everything was bigger, brighter, nicer... Did you also experience this romanticization?
I would go back to Easton Wis. and see my grandma's old A-Frame
I go to Kiki's all the time for breakfast! And Matthias is right, we are used to the rain. (If you don't get my point, I live in Orlando.)
I used to live in California and moved when I was eight. For years I wanted to move back, but I later realized I only wanted to go back because I hate the place I live now (I am here because of one of my parent's jobs). There was actually a lot of racism and crazy people there and I was just too young to notice. I'm not sure if I want to go back to that specific city I lived in.
Basically I'd like to revisit my birth place. I was born in Portugal but we didn't stay there long. I was 3 when we (my family) arrived into Australia. Now I'm 30, would love to go there with my dad and visit especially see the hospital where I was born. Funny story, my name now is Ricardo whom my god father named me when I was born but my parents would have named me Alfredo De Costa which was the name of the hospital I was born in and they thought about it and dad said not along those lines but similar, "Its a weird name, maybe we should name him something else" haha. My parents had a lot of photos from Portugal, a lot of the places were religious, there was a photo of my dad holding me as a baby standing in front of a store that sells religious statues of the virgin mary. Will be going soon.
What is that boxy thing on your necklace, I saw it yesterday on your t-shirt's collar too?
I would revisit the time I went to Germany with my family, it was so beautiful there and I can't remember much of anything besides snips of pictures in my head and a few moments here and there (I was 5) I'd love to go back now and understand it
Also it kills me how close you guys are to me and I've had school and stuff and wanted to go to the parks you guys were at and possibly actually meet you guys in person, like that would be sooo cool
It was a family vacation, everyone told my parents not to bring me because I was so young but I'm glad they didn't listen because I still remember certain things :)
i would want to go back into the past and see my grandfather bc he died when i was only two so i never got to spent real time with him and since he was in WWII i would want to ask him about his experience in the war
I would love to go back to my elementary school or seeing my old teacher, especially my English teacher. Because she's the one who made me fall in love with the language and thanks to her I'm studying it, I'm almost bilingual, so I would love to thank her.
I would go back when I was walking from ages 3-5 years old in the Philippines. Loved every second of it. But now that I'm in a wheelchair, I feel like I'm just moon walking everywhere with six extra feet (wheels) LOL.
P.S. Amanda is SOO Pretty! Oh & you as well Mathias! lol
Going to new York city for my 10th birthday!!
i have been in that hotel that is next to your (i remembered the view) it is named the bonnet creek
West point in california because most of memories there my parents were still together
I live like three minutes away from there!!!!!!
