[@gabrielkitcher1161]

Most youtubers these days just want to offer stupidity and clickbait. Mark on the other hand shows us humanity and culture. His videos are enriching and full of genuine good vibes. Keep up the great work!!

[@Time364]

Mark, wherever he goes, he is one with everyone. What an amazing nature.

[@Danboarding]

Did Micah just did a "hmmmm, yummy" face at 7:16? Just like his dad! Man, it's just great to watch him grow! Great stuff as always, Mark!

[@KarenLeos91]

You are so positive. Life will be good to good people like you, so appreciative and respectful of other cultures. Much love to your and your loved ones!

[@chanapolpimsen2647]

Phutai people in Thailand also has the ceremony called "Bai Sri Su Kwan", which is pretty much the same. We believe that people has "Kwan". It's like the spirit or some kind of guardian angel that lives in our body. Sometimes "Kwan" get away from our body so we have this ceremony to call it back. The ceremony is held to welcome guests, or when we get married, someone in the family died, get sick, accidents, graduated, etc.

[@pgds_]

[@TheHungrySyrianWanderer]

I love the Hmong culture and just learning bout different people I lived next door to a family who were Hmong,I played with my friend everyday and we were close she invited me for tea and then for a Hmong feast which I was curious I didnt like alot of the food which I ate it anyways out of respect it wasnt that it wasnt good just abit spicey and really not what I was used to .I was asked how I liked it said the dishes I liked ,but I said it all was good but a few dishes I wasnt used to they were very kind I dont like hurting people but I know lying is a huge insult or not trying it.the kids had hammocks in there room and special bed mats and they .were comfortable.I WILL SAY I HATED MY OTHER NEIGHBORS (in Fresno,ca)BECAUSE 2 GERMAN SHEPHERDS WERE MISSING AND THEY BLAMED MY FRIENDS FAMILY AND THE COPS CAME THEY LEFT THEN A FEW DAYS LATER THEY FOUND THE REMAINS IN A CHINESE FAMILIES TRASH DOWN THE BLOCK ...THOSE WHO ACCUSED MY FRIENDS FAMILY NEVER APOLOGIZED. I WAS SO HURT FOR THEM.THEY MOVED AWAY..

[@midnitetokin4963]

You need your own show on Food network or Netflix lol

[@Nugget6playz]

Have you run into any problems with eating while traveling. I worry with food allergies but always want to try something new.

[@unrest5770]

Mhong food is easy to cook all you have do just cookrice and add water to it😀

[@learningmom5670]

So cute how micah copying her father 😂😂

[@sadimuradov8874]

[@lawlicon234]

Can u go to Bangkok Thailand refugee camp I wanna see my home country

[@kingofslotsmillion3263]

how do you gain the. confidence to travel in such remote areas . I mean how are you not afraid?

[@zhangzehao3320]

which country is joel from？

[@BegumofQueens]

Joel’s accent is American, he is probably from one of the States like Mark himself.

[@biga4135]

That’s how it is in the black Community everyone helps when it’s time to cook

[@ShanteshRow]

Mark Wiens deserves the Nobel Peace Prize - for bridging cultures and uniting 1.8 million+ people through their common love for food, travel and traditions.

[@shmevanriceballz2857]

The son is soooo cute :3

[@NareshMallya]

This is why I like Mark. Food vloggers usually go to mainstream places like capitals and cities, but Mark takes us into the journey of the unknown. Sharing with us the food culture from places and communities unheard of. This gives us the chance to know the world better. Lots of best wishes to Mark and family. 👍👍 Lots of love to little Micah 😊

[@BillionDollerDream]

lovely comment...full of positivity

[@kassim_v1592]

That’s true i think he should be getting more subscribers than the other food vloggers he deserve it

[@kimtran5688]

I recommend sunny from best review show . He's funny and goes to lot of unknown places or less travelled. He eat many local foods like most tourists don't eat . He's mostly does Vietnam. But he had gone other place. Go check him out

[@kimtran5688]

Best ever food review ***

[@MrKmoconne]

Micah needs a brother or sister, even though that would make traveling even more complicated.

[@IneeYang]

Awesome!

[@lilliangithui]

I admire how Marks wife comfortably settles in the background. She's supportive in her own way ♥️

[@ItzBigidy]

Ying helps a lot too from what I've seen. If Mark is by himself and theres 1 person recording its usually Ying. and after watching a blooper video mark uploaded, it shows how much he asks Ying for information lol. I'm sure they are always a TEAM.

[@sam0109]

She supports him in a lot of ways in his job that we don't see nor know because it's not in front of the camera.

[@puspalmondal654]

This is Mark Wiens. The numero uno food vlogger who can discover not only the street foods or the premium restaurants but also the tribal foods and their communities. Hats off Mark.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you Puspal!

[@GlobalAdventurer]

He's like a Anthony Bourdain, but a one man show-family rated video😀

[@larrysong953]

Uncle Joe making all kids laughed was like soothing music. Micah so cute. Happy kids, happy village 😄

[@mtgsk5180]

Larry Song right? Joe just got way cooler lol and Micah laughing made my heart melt

[@mara4713]

Larry Song I agree

[@larrysong953]

mtgsk yes I'm expecting more of such moment from Micah as he's growing strong bigger everyday. Micah i and his wife Ying are really additional signatures to Mark's videos.

[@larrysong953]

Mara India 😊👍👍

[@lauramendoza9178]

Larry Song 💖

[@Aya-bk5zv]

oh my God, i just love Micah's laughing....

[@mslady1521]

I love "family" communities like this. Everyone takes care of each other and works together. They all look so healthy (probably that healthy, fresh food, and the great warm sun). Also, Micah is so cute!

[@susanelmer1550]

Love it when Micha does his thing in your videos. So fun watching him grow up.

[@meadecountylocal]

its SO peaceful to watch the film and watch you connect with people of the world ALL people of the world its as if you are a historian ! when ever you write a book about your travels LET me know I will BUY THE BOOK !! i would make it a movie book or a picture book of some sort ... but hey thanks for SPREADING your LOVE ALL OVER THE WORLD !

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, really appreciate your amazing support!

[@AlinezBR]

I agree so much with you, itsmontez. For me, its almost like a therapy after work or before sleeping, I really enjoy how peacefull and full of history theres in each of Mark`s videos. Please Mark, never stop spreading the peace and love with your videos :) Thank you!

[@vandeelakthanasuk3664]

I'm khmu I love how you show the authenticity of my people back home I showed my mom she enjoyed watching also! Love all your videos! Thank you.

[@yong_daddy7273]

I'm Khmu too. Foods remind me of my parent home cooked meals. Yummy. 🤤

[@nizmaniz6661]

dat time when Micah mimicking his dad. cute overload 😂😂

[@navusx]

I don't think Mom and Dad could be any more prouder with the way Micah interact with those lovely kids. A wonderful way to introduce a child to the world without any barriers or borders, just appreciate what you have and accept others for who they are. Sometimes we are just too judgemental to criticise things we're not familiar with or don't like, why not just look at Mark and the team who never failed to mention, praise and appreciate the countless hospitality and the warm welcome they received irrespective of where they are.

[@MarkWiens]

Huge thank you!

[@bhaktiyadavmane7186]

Micah is so cute😘😘😘 love his laugh😍😘😘

[@gupsphoo]

He's way too young to even know what's going on. What's there to be proud of?

[@patriciaharvey5722]

Navusx- Wonderfully worded! I co sign!

[@flancyoc8217]

I couldn't have said it better!

[@tinamariefarmer4419]

Did anyone notice Micah watching Mark and mimicking his reactions to food? So cute

[@morethantheeyesees]

I too have noticed this!

[@AK-ho2lb]

I have come to realize that this dude Joel is a cool guy .I like him. Mark he's your true friend. Chill with him.

[@autumnlossij-muas1490]

[@Shatu38]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/apivd6l5aM6SY68

[@jasondilorenzo7462]

I notice when Mark doesn't really care for a dish, like the pig blood one, he says "you can really taste the herbs in there". I notice he says that a lot in other videos when he isn't too crazy about a dish but tries to be polite and always focus on something positive

[@hectorlama4734]

Jayson DaSavage I think that is Mark's way of saying I appreciate the effort they put into the dish but it might not be what I like

[@netmatrix75]

He did mention about these dish being dangerous. You might get food poisoning by ingesting the blood. There will be risks. Cooked blood is safer to consume. But whether it is raw or cooked, you have to be ready mentally to eat it.

[@honeyhartmr]

Although this may be true, in my culture we eat many similar dishes to the khmu and in some dishes the main spotlight is not always the meat.

[@KarenLeos91]

Jayson DaSavage there are def videos where he has mentioned he doesn’t like the foods. Last one I remember is a video from Japan.

[@TN-un4er]

Anyone else notice Micah’s yum face at 7:17 just like his dad

[@brentthompson9597]

Mark, this was an amazingly rich and incredible vlog. Priceless experience, being taken into their group, their family, as one of their own. Fantastic; cannot wait to see the next installment. Be safe, enjoy, best to you all and be careful with that raw pig's blood soup!

[@Davina91]

Mark can I ask you something? How does your stomach deal with all this diffrent food? :) does some of this food even if it is delicious as hell causes you trouble? Love from Berlin

[@MarkWiens]

Hey Davina, lucky I haven't really had stomach problems!

[@alwaysachevysilveradogirl7475]

Luck has nothing to do with it my friend....rather you have been very blessed no to have contracted anything and your body handles everything well. No such thing as luck....just God blessing you. :) Love your videos Mark and many blessings to you and your little family always.

[@Davina91]

Mark Wiens thats nice! Hope you'll have a amazing trip and stay healthy :)

[@anirudhash9201]

The more you eat different types of food from different places ...the more bacteria flora grows in gut helping in digestion.

[@anushamrithula1914]

Super mark I'm your huge fan from kanchipuram india

[@HermannManfredo]

Micah traveled even more than me and I don't even make it to my neighbors city lol😂😂😂

[@pinkpastelhearts]

well most of us dont have the money to do that luxury of travelling all over the world.

[@Shotgunric97]

Yoooo Micah is making the Mark Wiens' signature face!!

[@MGA19a]

Eric SA that will be soon a Micah Signature face and then he will take over this channel 😂👍🏻😁😁😁

[@larrysong953]

Homestead cooking and living style are precious experience. True signature from Mark's videos. Really enjoyed every minute.

[@candixiong7]

Omg I never thought you would ever come through any hmong people in your videos but YESS !! Finally you get to eat and meet our hmong people . 💓
