🇱🇦From Spending $300 a Day to Just $30 HERE: How Our Life Changed

[@vigerminaberrios4116]

I didn’t know Laos was so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along to a humble and peaceful place. ❤

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you for watching:)

[@lazyhusband]

This is one of the best videos that I’ve watched on KZbin. To compare it to a k-drama, it’s like when Son Ye Jin’s character found the slower pace of life in Crash Landing On You.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes right! Thank you:)

[@annettehargan5283]

You guys are my new favorite travel vlog. I'm going to suffer through every ad for you. 🥰🥰

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Haha thank you!

[@marciasds]

I liked seeing you and your wife relaxed, riding your motorcycle, walking in the rain, wearing light and informal clothes, happy despite some discomfort. Thank you for showing us the beautiful landscapes of Laos!

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you for watching:)

[@lisabethb1978]

I loved this video!! My father was in Laos during the Vietnam war and he really liked it there.. but not the circumstances. Your video of the morning market brought so many wonderful memories of the open market that I practically lived in as a child living in Taiwan! Thank you so much for sharing all these great videos! Take care and be safe!🙂🇺🇸❤️

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

[@CongoGTACongo]

Love this travel video of Laos. Especially showcasing all the young kids helping their families! Sweet but also heartbreaking at the same time. Hope the best for them!

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it~

This is a great Video. Indian here married to a Chinese, so often talked about visiting Laos/Cambodia. Subbed.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thanks! Yes, visit Laos~

[@sgedit-r]

Thank you for sharing Laos with us . Glad that you enjoy the experience in spite of some hiccups .

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you for your words!

[@mariadelmardiaznoya8241]

El contenido del video es maravilloso!! Sois fantásticos los dos, me encanta como hacéis las grabaciones y como lo explicáis con tanto detalle y lo mejor es que se disfruta observando el paisaje y la cultura de ese país. Tienes una suscriptora mas en tu canal después de ver varios de vuestros videos que son geniales. Manteneros seguros y saludables , saludos 😊 muchas gracias desde Santiago de Compostela España🇪🇸 ❤

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you for your support. We'll visit your lovely country Spain too!

[@freemanol]

I made a similar move, to thailand. for the first year or two, you'd have these sorts of realisations like how life can be cheap and chilled I call that the honeymoon period. I still live in thailand, but once you see the problems, it's hard to unsee Things that just "work" in the countries we used to live in, it might not work that well in Laos/Thailand Or when you miss having a deep conversation about complex topics, which none of the people here understand For me, the tradeoffs are still worth it, but it's not that easy to really feel home in a foreign land

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes thanks for sharing your take

[@t.q.6639]

There’s no “perfect” country.

[@luckygengmnky]

Laos looks like such a wonderful country. So helpful to see the costs in USD. What a lovely couple -- looking forward to your other videos.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@skm8086]

Man thats amazing i just recently watch your vidoe of korean vlog in village i like the way u think about life . And your passion keep it up God bless u two. Iam now your new subscriber

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

thank you and welcome to our channel:)

[@evesanchez2157]

The bad thing about eating locally is the high risk of foodborne illnesses. Yes, they are yummy and cheaper. But, unless you know the water used was from a clean source and the meats and raw foods were cleaned and refrigerated properly, you should probably choose food cooked at high temperatures and avoid cooked food that has remained warm or at room temperature.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes true~

[@Travelingandtattooing]

Hi im new subscriber, i see few videosnof ur channel but i love this video is super natural you show the normal country people and street food, and u show when travel in a bike a beautiful and happy couple in a bike is romantic really nice.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you~

[@gervaise4894]

Waou j’ai voyagé avec vous 😍 les paysages sont magnifiques 🤩 merci de nous faire découvrir la beauté du Laos. Quelle leçon de vie, notre société nous demande d’aller toujours plus vite et nous fait croire que la modernité et le confort sont indispensable mais rien de tel que le vrai contact avec la nature, c’est cela qui nous nourrit réellement , la vie prend tout son sens et nous sommes heureux 🥰 bonne continuation et continuez à nous faire voyager , vous êtes beaux tous les deux et regarder vos vidéos me donne du baume au cœur ♥♥

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you for watching and your lovely words!

[@joycesewald1788]

Great to see you both enjoying your adventures new life. Have a safe and peaceful life.😊

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you:)

[@NJT9418]

What a privilege to experience such intense moments. The natural beauty of the area, the joy of its people, even in the simplest of living conditions. Seeing children playing instead of being subjected to parental and social pressure shows just how important it is not to rob children of their childhood. I'm surprised to see so much food despite the material conditions. The most important thing is that people don't go hungry, that they have something to eat and a place to sleep. Small like for the French bridge, whose architecture resembles the Eiffel building. Thanks for this great video. NJT🙏🏼🌸

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed it:)

[@bgtheking4083]

I can feel the Thai vibe there even the songs was a Thai song also ,a lot of Thai foods , Stuff in the Groceries except the noodles lol .Been there 6 years ago i love the city

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes many Thai like foods were there. Also loved the cities in Laos~

[@elizabethfarnsworth3425]

Wonderful video! I felt like I was right there with you.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you!

[@User_28Zyx]

Love your video. Laos is such an underrated country.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes it is! Thank you:)

[@dubravkabelogrlicdubravka]

I am happy for you. Can realy feel how you enjoy Laos. It is truly beautiful country with friendly people amazing architecture , great food and spectacular nature. Hope you managed to dodge Yagi!You are kid only once and childhood should be carefree and fun. So i am against too much presure on kids like it is applied in some countries..It was touching seeing Jin with the little boy.She will be great mum one day:). Btw try to have helmets when you ride a bike,pls.Stay safe and healthy.Happy travels!

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes, thank you for your concern and advice:)

[@KaiaNg-f3y]

Wow!! Laos look clean!!! Will visit in future ❤ thanks for video

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thanks~

[@mollychaos6754]

I love Luang Prabang, been there 3 times and would love to go back and visit.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes such a beautiful city~

[@Ripenready]

Amazing place and amazing perspective! 🥰 When travelling and eating local it’s best to avoid the raw salads, fruits. Cooked food is not that much of a problem.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes, thanks!

[@gray8741]

If you like Laos, you will love Malaysia. Cheers from a US viewer

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

thanks! yes, we loved Malaysia as well:) the content will be uploaded soon~

[@AkostiijhayMagpantay]

After watching your video about quitting your job to find happiness , I'm starting to like your videos keep it up

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you!

[@DavidNunezPNW]

Laos looks amazing! I want to visit soon.

Thanks! Will do!

Amazing video, hope you the best

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you:)

[@classickdramaclips]

Yes…beautiful…reminds me of Korea 서빙고 area back in 1977…before coming to America…yes unfortunate…빈곤 poverty is everywhere…

[@evesanchez2157]

True. Poverty exists in every country. But, one thing I have learned in life is, “poverty” is in the eye of the beholder. A simple life often times brings more happiness, more love, more real connections to those around us. We often dismiss the true importance of these quality of life aspects.

[@louiseoneil5745]

How r you doing this financially? You guys are wonderful!

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thanks. With some savings and income from our bonds, we can afford our travel. Plus we're pretty frugal~

[@louiseoneil5745]

@ I’m retiring from teaching and have been fascinated by all things Asian, especially the history and culture. You are living my dream. I just discovered your channel today and you both are delighting me with your observations. 😁

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thank you and we hope for the best on your journey ahead. My mother-in law is also retiring next year as a elementary school teacher/principal.

[@loretta6089]

Thanks for taking us along. It was very interesting to see things that most of us from the U.S will never see. I still cant get over spending only $30 a day. It costs $30 for 2 people to eat one meal at McDonalds here 😅. Really enjoying your videos 😊

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

thank you always for watching and leaving kind words:)

[@joekim4345]

Curious about two things. #1 how much did you save before you quit your jobs? #2 are you supplementing your income with youtube earnings or other sources of income ( e.g. interest income, rental income, yield from stocks, stock options play, etc.). Frankly doing what are you doing BEFORE you have kids is a dream. money is meaningless when time/opportunity is so so precious when you are "young". thankfully, i love my job but retiring is not retiring since I have two young kids.

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Thanks for your interests. You can refer to our 'quit Korea' video. It's not that we retired. We would need to work again. KZbin doesn't get us much money. We're supplementing our current expense with our savings and interest income from the bonds. Unleless you're in the poverty line, it's not so much about the money but rather direction in life. Hope this clarifies a bit:)

[@joekim4345]

@@abitdifferentkoreans thanks for the reply. absolutely love it that you guys did this at a relative young age. your source of income - interest and bonds? i hope you have some $TSLA stock. income producing options is a good method. not entirely passive but can be done with relative little time.

[@mkaizen1756]

The problem is the quality and taste of affordable and cheap food. I would prefer vietnam food but hygiene is not expectable. Well, if laos food can feed us without killing its worth.

[@Who-what-whose]

😮😮👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@glong2720]

DId you have a drone? What are the laws for flying a drone, or are there any? I must agree with your wife. I am not certain I would have enjoyed the cockroach on the restaurant wall. I also wish to say that it is nice to see what you did not enjoy along with what you did. Thank you for sharing. Do you believe it would be a place you could actually live?😆

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

Yes we fly our drone. It was allowed in Laos. Because of the affordable living costs, people come to Laos after retirement.

[@t.q.6639]

What currency app do you use?

[@AceRiver13]

so i just subscribed (because i want to support your channel) and checked out a few of your videos. however, i have to tell you that i'm a bit disappointed that you seem to be the only one talking in the videos. i understand that jin doesn't speak english but that's what subtitles are for. and if your reasoning is that you need someone to be the cameraperson, you guys could rotate. i'd like to hear what jin has to say because otherwise, it just seems like it's your channel and not both of yours. besides, she's much prettier than you are. best of luck in your journey!

[@abitdifferentkoreans]

I have to let you know that Jin is very shy and she didn't want to appear on the channel back then, and still she is. I had to convince her to appear and talk more. You'll have to understand Korean girl's nature before making a judgement please.

[@findingPerdition]

@@abitdifferentkoreans Ignore the haters like AceRiver here. Your channel is great, and kudos to sharing your life with us.

[@AceRiver13]

@@findingPerdition lol. definitely not a hater. it was more of a constructive criticism but if you're easily triggered, oh well..

[@AceRiver13]

@@abitdifferentkoreans being a koreanamerican i can understand her being shy. i didn't think of that obviously before commenting. anyhoo, i'm glad both you and jin are trying unconventional lifestyle. a lot of people seem to do well with their youtube channels so, i hope both of you find your success and happiness as well.
