WHY WE SEPARATE FOR 30 DAYS

[@georgestrait66]

Solid relationship built on realities of adult life instead of immature romantic ideas pawned off by society, great video!

[@booklover555]

I recently felt ill while traveling in Sri Lanka. I sought medical attention at a private hospital in Colombo. My doctor was wonderful, holding degrees from India, Sri Lanka and England. He scheduled me for an MRI. Can you imagine the MRI (scan films and a CD-rom of the scan were given to me also) only cost me $30USD?? I was floored and I’m happy to report I’m completely healthy. Three cheers for affordable health care!! It’s sad to think the “progressive” US can’t match this care for its citizens.

[@HoboVentures]

Dan cannot believe it too. MRI cost only 30 USD. This is why Dan and I didn't bother to get travel insurance in Asia. =)

[@kevinreist7718]

Yes, Health Care in the US has become a complete scam. Many Americans have nothing left to leave their heirs because when they become terminally ill, the hospital takes everything. Including their savings, their 401K (or IRA) and their house. Even if they had life insurance, the hospital will try to get that too. That's how health care is stealing the American dream. Sad, but true.

[@justagirlsd3000]

Wow!

[@Andy-pl7nk]

Can I ask the name of the hospital? Good resource to know.

In Southwest Michigan at a nice brewery, an entree is a ridiculous $16-$18. Dental cleaning (no x-rays, only cleaning) a few days ago was $154. Combine that with miserable freezing temps much of the year.

[@HoboVentures]

Thanks for sharing! We did our teeth cleaning in Puerto Morelos last year was 700MXN which is about 38USD.

[@flutingaround]

That's correct. Dental cleanings have doubled in the U.S. I recently went to Los Algadones, MX on the Arizona border and the cleaning was $60.

[@all4fitz]

@@flutingaround That's great to know! After researching so much on the Philippines and Thailand, I think Mexico might be the winner with low cost of living and easy access to the US.

[@martinpeacocke8968]

I think you are right. As soon as someone sees you together. You know it's definitely Qiang & Dan. You are great together!

[@papadougpapadougsadventures]

Dan is absolutely correct on the expense of restaurants here in the US. I take my 86 year old mother lunch every Sunday and its always at least $50 and we don’t drink. Ice tea is $3-5. I was recently in Dumaguete, Philippines and a nice meal for 4 at a very nice restaurant including desert was $38us

[@HoboVentures]

Wow! Mind to share the restaurant name? =)

Great idea though you both get to spend time with your family. It's a win win. Yeah the us is super expensive for everything even more if you live in california or new york

I’m a I Australian married to a Thai for 19 years , my wife now resides in her home village with all her relatives , I spend some time in Australian so we can be apart months at a time , we are both ok with that

[@499PUCK]

Hi, just a note. IMHO, it is a great point that Chung is not American. There are so many channels from the American point of view. It’s a change to see two different points of view about the same place. Also she speaks very good English. I have never had any problem understanding her commentaries. A very clear voice at the correct volume. Thank you again.

[@HoboVentures]

Wow that's a huge compliment! Really made my day! 🥰

[@ManOfAdventure2011]

Dan, you've really hit the jackpot with Xiang 😊. I can only hope when I begin slow traveling the world I can find someone like her. Im happy for you guys 🙏.

[@HoboVentures]

Me too! Dan is my best friend and best partner in life! You will find someone you like too! 🥰🌻

About to retire, and wow great info on the shingles vaccine. I was debating to get it before I went to SE asia😊 Now I know! Love both your channels! EDIT: Maybe consider a video on vaccines/pharmacies/medical and how you navigate overseas?

[@HoboVentures]

Better to get the shingles in US before leaving this year. I just read online GSK Pharma rolls out its Shingles vaccine in India couple days ago. I believe is will be available soon in all Asia countries but better get it before leaving.

[@azhardav]

Be sure to get the "updated" vaccine, not the older one, You want to get "Shinglex" vaccine- much more beneficial.. Also if, I believe over 55 should get the Pneumonia vaccine also

[@erikramaekers63]

This is a good couple.The way they look at each other says enough

[@Hammocktraveller]

A month ago I suffered a concusion. I went to Bangkok hospital in Hua Hin, maybe the most expensive, and I was seen in 10 minutes, got a brain scan, saw the specialist and got my medication. Fast and professional. 275usd. In Montreal I would still be waiting or pay more than 10X more in a private clinic.

[@HoboVentures]

Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@valdez66667]

So funny, I’m now traveling to US while my wife stayed behind in Taiwan. So many wondered why we were not together. You have articulated well, thanks.

[@TomandAmyinthePI]

Yeah I got My Shingles shots back in 2017 in Chicago- I've had alot of shots in my life (Especially when I was in the service 40 Years ago) but the Shingles shots made My whole shoulder sore for 2-3 days...lol never was that sore before or since from any other shots...lol

[@gardenia8085]

I've heard others say that Shingles shot hurts.

[@robertmeade1892]

Hi Qiang😊! Excited you and Dan will be in the Philippines for 6 months. Me too, I will arrive in June in Manila first. Hope to see you. I will briefly see Metro Manila including Makati then Baguio and then layer south to Puerto Galero as you recommended. Wow, and much more. Dan is right, I am currently "hemoraging" money here in the states. Love seeing my family but looking forward to get out of here soon and back to Asia.

[@HoboVentures]

Hi Bobby! Hopefully to meet you again in the Philippines! Safe travels!

Regular tip is 15%. If it is a large party, restaurants may mandate an 18% surcharge.

[@painter662]

Your talking about how expensive medicine has gotten in the US… now this was 2018… but I was visiting the Philippines, I was getting my insulin there for a third of what it cost in the US at that time. I also had to visit a doctor and an emergency room once. Total bill was $35.00 at a very good hospital. Same problem came up in US cost $10,000.00

[@HoboVentures]

Wow! That is really good. May I know which part of the Philippines?

[@justinmcintosh6554]

This is a good video because people start rumours if they don’t have the facts. You are a great couple. Both whole in yourself but complement each other. Time apart is healthy for the right reasons. Great vlog.

I am married to a Japanese for a very long time. She goes back to Japan once every few years for good reasons. Sometimes I want to go with her, but I am not a good traveler and do not like it. It is fine for both of us and good to have a break. Lots of int'l marriages do this with no issue.

Also, tuition in U.S. college is inflated to cost $30K to $100K+ per year! So times 4 years x 2 kids means $240K to $800K for college! So a doctorate degree is 2.5 times (6-7 more years) which means up to $2 million dollars of college and Medical Doctor loans! And it turn, the doctor charges $100 per 15 minutes or $400 per hour to get that doctor's note before you can get a prescription! So, better to find a cheaper college alternative in a foreign country?--Is there a youtube channel on this?

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Restaurant prices are crazy here in the USA. Sorry for the wait staff, I tip 10% normally but for great service I can go up to 12-15%. Tipping 20% is crazy!

[@HoboVentures]

Thanks for sharing! In Malaysia, we don't have tip culture. Most of the restaurants already included 10% service charge in the bill. Some restaurant will leave the tip box on the cashier counter is because some customer don't want the small change(coins) so they can put into the tips box.

[@kokalti]

Well in the US you would typically have insurance from work. With insurance my yearly teeth cleaning is free. Doctors appointment is $25 per visit. And of course you need a proscription because the doctor know better what medication you need. But to have a comfortable life I work 12.5 hours a day Mon-Fri which kind of means I have no life but work.

[@HoboVentures]

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting video. Would be interesting to hear a little more about how you handle medical insurance abroad and when slow traveling? For both of you.

[@HoboVentures]

We didn't have travel medical insurance. We pay as we need it. =)

[@StanHasselback]

In the U.S. most things cost what the market will bare, it has very little to do with what a reasonable profit would be. If you live in an expensive area in the U.S. you will pay even more. Anything that has a labor cost associated with it is through the roof now.

My wife and I are from San Francisco vacationing in Malaysia till end of May. We are eating sushi a lot because it's good and fresh and 1/5 the price of SF. In SF the dishes are 4x what we pay in Malaysia. But even Malaysia is costing more...in Kuching for 2 weeks, then Ipoh, KL, Malacca, JB, then flying home from Singapore.

[@IaintTheHerb]

Good thing you had other reasons. That's a long trip for a shingles vax. If that were the only reason, I'd skip it and just get to the doctor for some anti viral meds as soon as you get symptoms. That vax ain't what it's cracked up to be.
