St John's Newfoundland

Cruising around St John's and area

[@stevejohn3112]

Have not been there for 35 years, I grew up on these streets. Thanks for the memories.

[@richardduke9877]

Well Steve, did you noticed St. John's streets were not shown until after 7 min

[@ivanj.conway9919]

@@richardduke9877 : Actually, I thought that was kind of, a nice lead into the part about the town itself. It's nice for people to be reminded that Newfoundland is about so, so, much more than St. John's itself. Though I will admit that I had to scroll ahead a bet to see when St. John's itself, would be featured. Overall though, I think it was an extremely, well put together video. Should have even, more views than it has. Warmest Wishes. My Best. Be Well and Safe. Out.

I love St John's city. My first grandchild was born there. Beautiful people and beautiful city.

[@candytoo3729]

Awesome Gloria. I was born there as well.

[@ivanj.conway9919]

Darling as you may have noticed from the beginning of this video, it's not St. John's alone, but the whole of Newfoundland itself, really. To do the place justice properly, and if you have the time and means to do so, you need to travel all over the island to get a feel for the place properly. I'm originally, from a place called Twillingate myself, but have lived in St. John's for over 30 years now, and my home is utterly, awesome to visit in the Summer. July, August and even September are the best months to visit if you ever get the chance. Much Love and Warmest Wishes. Be Well and Safe. Out For Now.

Man, here I am making walking tour videos of St. John's, left, right and center, which no one is bothering to watch, and here, someone else does it once and get's over 75,000 views. I simply, can't compete with this sort of thing. My Best. Out.

[@ivanj.conway9919]

PS: I compliment you My Brother, as your video was extremely, well put together. Right now, I can't compete like this, but once and if I am able to at some point, I hope to get the same number of views you have. Viewing St. John's like this, with the music included, is certainly, far more interesting and dynamic then I'm able to achieve walking the town and without musical accompaniment. Almost felt like q different place from what I'm used to living in for the past 30 plus, some odd, years now. Again, My Hat is Of to You for an EXTREMELY, well made and well put together video. Obviously, the first six minutes or so were of you driving into town and not of St. John's proper, but that was some super, awesome, scenery as well. Warmest Wishes. My Very Best. Be Well and Safe. Out.

[@skyscraperman99]

Thanks for the comments Ivan, they’re much appreciated. All I can say is KZbin is a funny site. I made the video so I could show my wife and kids some of St Johns as we live in Calgary and I was there visiting. The video had almost no views for a year or two and then one day views started to rack up! Keep at it, as I’m sure views will start pouring in 👍

[@ivanj.conway9919]

@@skyscraperman99 : Thank You Brother. I so, so, hope so. Well, as I said; your video is extremely, well put together. Very well edited and as others have stated; the music for the background could not be more appropriate, so I'm not surprised it has gotten the number of views that it has. I've lived in this town for over, 30 plus, years now, Brother, and walked up and down many of the streets you featured in your video countless times, yet watching your video and how you have everything put together, with the musical score in the background, made it feel like a completely, different place. So interesting and dynamic. I will certainly, keep your video in mind as an example of how I can try to put my videos together better. Now that being said; I've made a few walking tour videos of various areas of town, over the past couple of months, which you are more than free to check out, if you wish. Warmest Wishes.

St John's then Holyrood and back to town

[@stephenbarnes6563]

The first minute and 15 seconds was a nice view of St. John's, flying in. Then, you do almost seven minutes of Holyrood, a small community 45 kms outside of St. John's, without identifying that fact, and then, inexplicably, the CBS Highway, miles outside of St. John's, fades into Freshwater Road, in the heart of the city. This is extremely misleading for anyone who doesn't know the city, and that seven minutes of your video is definitely not it. It is not even close enough to St. John's to fit your description, St. John's and area. The rest of your video driving around St. John's is not bad. I don't understand why you felt the need for this deception.

[@arhamahmadi852]

Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherlands, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country. To be fair, I randomly looked at videos from downtown Manchester and Concord in New Hampshire - Philadelphia - Detroit - Chicago - New York - Baltimore - Denver - Nashville, and Knoxville in the United States, and Toronto - Quebec - Montreal - Winnipeg - Calgary - Vancouver - Victoria - Ottawa and Thunder Bay in Canada. we should be fair. The bitter truth must be accepted. Without any exaggeration. Completely impartial. I have to say that I didn't see a single piece of garbage in any of the US videos to convince myself. Without exaggeration, in all Canadian cities, there must have been a piece of garbage on the ground less than every hundred meters. It must have an important reason. I do not know. But this is a bitter truth. You can try. This country should be brought closer to its exaggerated claim. the truth is bitter. Certainly, some Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and even Malaysia are much cleaner compared to Canada. Of course, we should not forget that Canada claims to be one of the 10 cleanest countries in the world. And Vancouver claims to be one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world. Please go to East Hastings or Victoria Drive or Commercial Drive or West Georgia or Broadway or Main Street and judge for yourself. I am 50 years old and have traveled to 26 countries. Canada is far from its claims. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022, I decided to move to the east because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception This country is disappointing. Please, Please, Please, don't immigrate to Canada you would regret it absolutely. this is not a developed country, Canada is a developing country with huge serious problems.
