This popped up on my recommendation right after I went to Yigah today 😂

Packing up my bags and moving here from Ireland once I finish my Masters, lucky enough to have access to a work programme, beautiful looking city

[@user-if9oh6zt1j]

Good luck with your move! You wont regret it, it beautiful here 😊🌴

[@FreeChansey]

also he says university football games, at 1:42. that's a neck, University of Irvine DOES NOT have a football team. the city's running joke is that there football team is still undefeated.

[@zizafell]

that's the joke at cal state long beach too!!!!

[@neoleomedia1676]

As an OC native, I can confirm!

[@andrewkwong5862]

Peter, your video is amazing and professional done! Higher than the Tv quality. Nice 👍

[@jesseb.2128]

3:10 clever transition!

[@jesseb.2128]

I think these videos are helpful, especially if one is looking at relocating to one of these places for a job.

I lived in Irvine and Newport beach between 2007 and 2010. I had best moment of my life when i was there. I was so excited before i got on the plane. I flew to New York and after that LAX. A Korean man pick me up at the airport. He was Korean priest. He took me my English school, which was AOL ENGLISH SCHOOL,located in UCI Campus. I was like i was in a dream. I lived in a wonderful house in Woodbridge community. 84 SPANISH LANE.IRVİNE. I worked for Tuscany Grill Italian Restaurant in Irvine. I also lived with Asian Americans.They were pretty cool people. I found them on facebook after 6 years. I moved to Newport Beach when my GF came to America. She's my wife now. I am in Irvine in my dreams. I go to the LAX and ask my friends to pick me up. I see the lake in Lyon street where 2 dollar cinema is there. I miss you Irvine and Newport Beach so much. There're only 2 wishes in this life i want. Living with my family happy and visiting California one more time

[@claudia639]

I am currently looking for a host family around woodbridge, I also prefer Asian Americans! anyidea how I can reach to a great and safe host family like yours?

[@alex123453839]

Nice work Peter. When can we see some more documentaries on Airlines?

I have lived in Irvine for 13 years, and I have a real love/hate relationship with this city. I hate that everything has to be so beige, it’s very hard to meet regular people without everything revolving around status and materialism, and there’s no creative vibe to this city. The predictability and dull environment sort of makes it feel like the years just fly by extra fast. But I do appreciate how everything’s consistently clean and well-maintained, the urban planning is well thought-out despite its soul-crushing beigeness, there’s a good balance of green space and the air isn’t smoggy (for SoCal standards). Tons of good choices for restaurants/grocery stores/shopping. People are generally pretty chill and respectful in Irvine, it’s becoming more and more diverse and progressive, the university gives it _some_ youthfulness, and it’s close to the beaches. But to be honest my favorite part about Irvine is that it’s the only city I’ve lived in where I have never dealt with racist encounters, which is saying something. So it’s pretty hard for me to move.

You McDonald's 🤡.

[@Rperfilyev]

Yeah, you are right: a food is a general thing in our life

[@jem4838]

I live two blocks from that bakery. I walk there often. All the locals know it, but it is meh.

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

Which is better Irvine or Arcadia

[@SilviaGomesDri22]

Very good

[@heatherfeather9951]

Irvine is definitely not the most exciting city, but some who live here prefer it that way. I'm still amazed at how bland this episode was compared to Peter's tour of Israel (a must see) with one of THE MOST interesting and powerful leaders in history. Seriously Peter, how did you get to know Bibi so well?

[@kaleimaile]

They used to only have 85 degrees in Irvine out of Taiwan, but now, they have 85 degrees in many locations. Yay!

[@annebrady1870]

This was nice, but as an Irvine resident, I can tell you missed out on a LOT of places, including the Irvine Spectrum..

[@itube6405]

How about the house 🏠 Preise upto 200 qm? I would like to buy a house overthere

[@davegibbs6592]

Lived there 25 years, worked there 35.....great city. Funny how people complain about it.

[@logangomez4475]

Wow! Sounds like the perfect place to live. Just have to research the jobs.

[@nicholasirvine6693]

There's a city with my last name I should visit there

[@viiperbiite]

Thinking about moving here from New Zealand ☺

[@viiperbiite]

Yuyao Chen thank you. But i personally don't like it here. Sure there's scenery, but there's not much action anyway.

[@viiperbiite]

Yuyao Chen Okay how about this, where would you recommend I live (state/city) in America. Specifically California 😊

[@viiperbiite]

Yuyao Chen I'm a very shy person. Thank you so much for your advice :)

[@todo3602]

Phøenix FøxTail I recommend Irvine. Safest city in America, by bad community people mean nobody knows each other. There's lots of housing and stuff so the community is always expanding. Biggest thing for me is location though. Safest city, 15 mins from Disneyland, hour from snowy mountains, 15 mins from beach, LA is 55 minute driving distance, and so much more. I love this city because it's quiet, everyone I've met is relatively nice, there's fun shopping centers and malls everywhere, fun restaurants, fast food locations, movie theaters, all within driving distance of 10 minutes. It's such a great time here. However in my opinion the schools are not as great as they should be for the surrounding area, they do just fine. I would recommend moving to Irvine if you need to and it's not out of your way, but hey, that's just me.

[@viiperbiite]

TohDoh I'm considering the medical university there because it's small. May I ask you what the climate is like? Thanks :)

[@neilparga2091]

Swagman UCI is the best thing about Irvine

[@odoroussmegma2191]

Why? Its full of FOBS and nerds that play Dota all day.

[@mllcaliforniahousetours2]

Great video - Check one of our house tours (some in Irvine)!

[@KleWdSide]

I dated a girl from Irvine. She says it has no soul & I'd say she's probably right judging by this video. Looks just like every other suburb you see all over.

[@Blackstamos]

Yes, I hate it here.

[@charlizard5901]

I live here as well and she's most definitely right. People are oftentimes materialistic and unfriendly, and there's legitimately nothing interesting to do. No culture or character to the city.

[@user-if9oh6zt1j]

Dude. It's a suburb. We all just want a safe place to lay our head at night. If I want "soul" or excitement I'll go visit l.a.

[@saynotop2w]

It looks like a suburb, has the same issues of metropolitan. 10 million dollar house pricings are the norm and most people must live on rental. Road is so clogged that it takes 2 hours to go from the airport to Great Park, a 7 mile trip, during rush hour. I honestly don't get why more and more people move in hete every year.

[@odoroussmegma2191]

@@Blackstamos you should move to North Korea.

[@robertetzenhouser]

I’m moving here soon 😂 looking forward to it!

[@brandonfiore8982]

my two bedroom apartment was 6k a month. Damn I miss those good old days of selling drugs.

[@rottweilertom]

Peter, UCI doesnt have a football team

HI.. I'M FROM IRVINE *combs hair over and smiles creepy* HI JILL HOWS THE FAMILY? OKAY *smiles* *football lands* HERE LITTLE TIMMY, HA AH HA, *throws ball and smiles creepy* I'M FROM IRVINE

[@saynotop2w]

None of those restaurants and bakery are any good lol You must have been sponsored by them If you want good food, go to the Old Town Tustin on El Camino Real or the OC Fair grounds area in Costa Mesa. The trails are neat enough from what they could work with, but remember that OC houses almost 4 million people and you will hear cars drive by on the highway.

[@missdhara6434]

So Irvine is a giant chinatown?

[@odoroussmegma2191]

Kinda.

[@reedrumfield6679]

He's a fake

[@odoroussmegma2191]

Damn I thought I was the only one. You think he's a robot or terminator?

[@mikeeweismannn7292]

Irvine is over price and boring !!Nice place to live However are some apartments whit a very poor maintenance like Woodbury Square,Lane poo..the apartment are in very nada conditions,dirty,full of smokers and weed

[@jeanjones1846]

I live here ... for 4 yrs now... If I could leave tomorrow , I would . If I wanted to live in Korea , Id move there... The city population is made up of foreigners ... mostly from Korea, and the older ones can't even speak English, lived here 30 + yrs , live in the HUD housing , and are not citizens of our country.. To me this is disgusting. The most boring place I've ever lived. I like living in America, speak English if you are gonna move here and call it home.for 30 yrs. Don't come here and leach off our tax paying A,American people.
