Day 2 in Branson Missouri | Presley's Jubilee | College of the Ozarks | Titanic Museum

[@Jerry_SWMO]

As a local I was proud to see you and the group visit Branson. Welcome any time. We love having you here.

[@jamesfrommanitoba.1992]

I want to hit the thumbs up a thousand times. Great job! My very last bus tour was too Branson. Brought back many great memories. Terrific Job James.

[@JWangvlogs]

Hey thanks James. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I like your name as well lol.

[@billyjoejimbob56]

James... your attitude toward the student education at College of the Ozarks is spot on! There are SO many opportunities in the modern day U.S. to re-learn the value and effectiveness of the tried and true apprenticeship model. Love your videos. What was very clear to me here... love your positive attitude toward life and the lessons that each day brings. Don't stop!!!

[@JWangvlogs]

Thanks Billy. Appreciate the kind words. Our society does not appreciate good work ethic anymore. Im glad to see a school that promotes that still. Earn everything you have. Thats a good lesson to teach to the young.

[@brianwest2394]

Great Job , as usual, J. This is definitely my dream job. If I could go back and do it all over again...

[@JWangvlogs]

Thank you for your kinds words Brian. Ive noticed several of your comments indicates that you have no chance to ever be a coach operator... I would love to hear your story if you want to share. My email is [e-mail]. Of course I understand if you do not want to share your story. Always appreciate reading your comments Brian!

[@CrownVictoriaNYC]

I just want to note that your vlogs style is really nice and relaxing. Always nice choice in music and your shooting is on point along with your editing. Keep it up! I know your busy but would love to see more on this channel too!

[@stevedavenport1202]

Love the music selection, James.

[@JWangvlogs]

Thanks Steve. Thats actually the hardest part of making one of these. Before I start putting any footage down I have to have the right music.

[@stevedavenport1202]

@@JWangvlogs Keep up the good work, amigo. 😀

[@jamo_montana1628]

Man lately I been binge watching your channel and I don’t even drive a bus. You’re editing and choice of music is on another level. I stay around Chinatown area always down to eat just lmk! Yes I guess I’m a fan now haha

[@charlescorey184]

Great video James. Loved it. I was talking to my doctor yesterday here in Florida and she told me she went to school in Champaign-Urbana. I told her "Oh, you are a Fighting Illini." She lit up and in shock said, YES, how did u know about that? I told her I have learned a lot about the university from your videos I regularly watch. She said she might start tuning in as well. All the best.

[@JWangvlogs]

Haha thanks for the advertising Corey! It's a Small world isn't it? Really appreciate the comment.

[@RedJaguar100Travels]

This was very well done Sir, I really enjoyed the music and I liked the views from the front window... I drove a Semi for many years and we never got eat that good. You know how to get it in.. I should have gotten my passenger endorsement .... 😆 Thanks for sharing, We are waiting on PT. 3 Herbie & Mary..

[@JWangvlogs]

Hey James, I just recently found your videos. They're great! You seem like a good dude that works hard, and you care about what you do. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@rogerjclough0223]

Wow, it sure it's beautiful there Mr. Wang.... Thanks for sharing 👍Greetings from Texas

I’m only 24 but I own a place in Branson as a quick vacation spot from Chicago. Haven’t been in a few years but absolutely love it there

[@charlesterviel5748]

Enjoy your videos.. Blessings to you.. and Peoria Charter 😊🙏

[@jerrymaushard3835]

Nice music. Thanks for all of your videos.

[@johnwright3710]

I would just like to ad that Setra has the fastest blinds in the business!

[@JWangvlogs]

I do like the Setra blinds except they block the mirrors if you lower them too much.

[@edwardmyers1746]

What an absolutely brilliant school

[@keithpfrang2114]

Was starting to think you were the only bus there. Good to see others. Figured you’d enjoy it. Seems as if you have.

[@philipsamuels526]

Way to go love the adventure. Thanks for taking us along.

[@musictothesoul4life]

Hello James! I grew up near Branson. It is so nice to see the familiar places and you talking so kindly and warmly about it. I have many memories of spending time there with family. The Keeter Center has such good food!! I can’t imagine driving a bus on those roads. Lol

[@JWangvlogs]

Hi Anna! Means a lot to me to read your comment. I am glad that my videos can bring back fond memories to others. I can't imagine how much fun it would have been to grow up in Branson. Are you still in the area or have you moved far away? Thanks for the comment.

[@musictothesoul4life]

@@JWangvlogs I live in Kansas City now, so I’m about 3.5 hours away. I still go back and visit family. It was so fun growing up near there. During the summer, it is jammed packed going to the amusement parks (silver dollar city and white water) and the shows. The lakes are beautiful and fun to take a boat out on. I highly recommend taking your girls there sometime in the summer if you can! Maybe when they are a little older and tall enough for all of the rides.

[@actemple3282]

Great job love the music cool blog

[@theBusManiac]

This channel is really cool, the "fly on the wall" type documentary style you have really works and makes such an interesting story. Motorcoach world seems more like back to school. I hope you concentrate more on this type of film in the future ✌

[@td2691]

Superb content, very professional, and very enjoyable to watch. Bravo.

[@grasscutter1963]

Wow James, your videos are starting to take some of my nervousness away I’m feeling about starting my new job driving some of these coaches I can’t wait to get through each and everyone of your videos. I have so many questions, hopefully your videos will cover them. By the way, we’re sort of neighbors, I’m in Indiana 😊

[@JWangvlogs]

Thanks T Russel. Much appreciated.

[@johnh10000]

What a wonderful idea to have university where you "work"

[@judykeith584]

Both my sons graduated from hard work u. While some discouraged it because it is strict I remember our school board president telling me they would hire a c of o grad over anyone else because they understand work.

[@jingoallanjude]

I like that concept of debt free studying. Currently not applicable with afro an universities

[@donalddodson7365]

Great travel log. Only one tiny problem: it is 5:21 AM, I was planning to get a little more sleep. But after seeing the great foods I am hungry! I love the "Hard Work U" concept. Graduating with professional skills, people experience, and a work ethic, AND NO DEBT! Fantastic.

[@JWangvlogs]

Hey Donald! I know right!?!? I wish more places were like this

Amazing! Someone that thinks like I do. I thought of the 'X2' right before you said It. I was in the car biz for 30+ years and I was CONSTANTLY complaining to the manufacturers. When I see a 'coach' I start drooling, lol my pals think I'm nuts. Oh well. Thanks again for putting so much work into these movies!! FF😎 BTW, now my boys wanna play ball 🏀with you 😂

Hey Fox! First of all. Great minds think alike my friend 😂. People like us see beauty In ordinary things to others. My buddies and roommates from college all laughed at me too. I am not a very good ball player but I al always down for shooting some hoops! If you are ever in the area hit me up.

so how would i get to branson from chicago airport as i fly into there from london uk i usualy rent a rv for 2 months branson looks cool

[@davidp2888]

Great video, James. On trips like this, do you pay for your meals or does the group?

[@JWangvlogs]

Thanks David P. The company gives me $35 a day for meals. That's mine to keep whether I use it or not. On trips like these my meals are often paid for by the group or comped by the establishment. Which is really nice for the driver.

[@mattyrays]

The meals are comped by the establishment a lot in Branson. If you are the driver, they try to do everything they can for you. Most of the businesses have coach parking, and they know that, some of these tour companies allow the driver to have some amount of say in where they go to eat. If the driver can't get you there, then they don't go, or at least don't come back next year.

[@grasscutter1963]

I’m still trying to figure out what all those things are on your windshield, I know one is your phone but what are the others??? Are they back up gps?

[@philipsamuels526]

Which coach do you like best Prevost or MCI?

[@JWangvlogs]

Probably the MCI just because I'm more used to it. But don't get me wrong.. I loved driving that H3. Makes any other coach seems so much smaller.

Unfortunately our insurance company requires our drivers to be 25 years old.... I know I went through the wait my self.

@@JWangvlogs oh no I have a long wait,but I have time to get my drivers license and cdl and gain experience during that wait

[@JWangvlogs]

@@Slaterinshades You can sign on to a city transit company at 18 i think. You can start out driving city buses. I started out that way while going to college. Best college job ever!

@@JWangvlogs yeah MTA in nyc is hiring 18yr old but sadly I'm only 16 so I have 2 more years to go

Truck Drivers are also treated like lower class citizens. Do you have to clean the bus everyday while on this trip? All that food you eat makes me feel like I am gaining weight watching you. I also love eating at new places while traveling.
