TASTE OF THE MARIANAS 2023 !!! SAIPAN ISLAND!!

[@marksawesomeadventures]

I answered this Question in one of my Comments already but I figured I would post this Answering the Question "Why did I use Reggaeton Music in the Video"? I know a lot of people do not understand what it is like to make Videos on KZbin, but First of all I cannot play ANY Music that is Copy Write Music, that includes Music at the Festival, that includes Music someone is playing on their Radio, that Includes ALL Chamorro and ALL other Island Music, it is ALL Copy Write which means I cannot put it on my Videos, because if I DO KZbin can Shut Down my Channel. So the only Proper way I can put Music on my Channel is for me to go to a Company that acts like an Agent between Me and the Music Artists, and THEY are the ones who make Deals with the Artists who then allow me to License the Music for my KZbin Channel. The Company that I work with for this, Does not have ANY Island Music at all on their Website. No Chamorro Music, No Hawaiian Music, and they have only a few Reggae Songs. So knowing this, and ME being a Musician and DJ for over 40 years, I had to make a Decision about what I kind of Music I should use. Reggaeton is THE MOST POPULAR MUSIC IN THE WORLD right now. This in not my Opinion, it is a FACT. So the Company I work with has Lots of Reggaeton Music I can Use, and it all Sounds pretty good. The Rhythm of Reggaeton is very much like Chamorro and Island Music and Reggae. So I feel like people of the Island would Enjoy Reggaeton more than any other Music I might have Selected, being that everyone else around the World is liking it, and Chamorro and Filipinos both have Spanish Blood in their Veins and Spanish Words in their Language, I figured it is not much of a stretch to think the people of this Island would like Reggaeton. Eventually you can understand it better if you learn Spanish, but most people on the Island already speak more than one Language and one of them already has Spanish Words in it, so you're already half way there. If you Speak Chamorro and Tagalog, you know TWO Languages with Spanish Words in it, and Spanish is not going to be a Problem to learn at all. Thanks for Watching 😁

Hey Mark, found your videos a few weeks ago. I enjoy them a lot. Have you thought about doing narration for some of your videos instead of music? May be a bit more work but the conversational tone you have is very pleasant!

[@marksawesomeadventures]

No, it has nothing to do with the amount of Work it takes, the reason why I use Music on my Videos is because Copy Writed Music was playing at the Event, and I cannot use Copy Writed Music on my Videos. Even if I Narrated it I would still need to use Music that I have a License to use. Everyone has their own Style on KZbin, you might enjoy the Narrated Videos better, I actually like the Virtual Reality Style better because it gives the viewer the experience of being there. I don't stick my face in the Camera and Talk all the time like other KZbinrs because my Channel is not about ME, it's about the Location, and giving the Viewer the experience of seeing what it's like to be there is more of the way I like to Film. Thanks for watching.

Mark, What is the cheapest way to fly to Saipan? I'm looking at moving there. I'm done with the USA. Flying from LAX.

Mark, I've been following you now for awhile. Thanks for the personal data episode. We have a lot in common. I am currently living in the Philippines for the last 6 years or so. 82 yrs old and dependent on my SS Income of about $1500/mo. Basically supporting a family of four quite comfortably on that. I think you are familiar with the cost of living here. I have been interested in Saipan for some time now. I would expect the rental housing market in CK to be quite low given that tourism has pretty well dried up in Saipan and I don't know if it will ever come back although you would think so what with the beautiful island . Here is the question. I would expect the cost of groceries (imported) to be high. But how high. Here is a suggestion. An episode of the average cost of a grocery basket of food (Western food). Even if you just went through your favorite store and just made a video of the price tags. Living in the Philippines, I understand having to store shop to find specific items. It is just not like the U.S. where you can go to a Wallmaart or Costcos for everything. Thanks again for all the content. I haven't seen a video of your individual apartment or house, but maybe you are just protecting you privacy along with any information on your job. I understand that. Keep doing what you are doing. Aloha., Don.

If you are already in the Philippines, and you are Comfortable there, then I would stay there. The only thing you are going to gain by coming here is Access to U.S. Government Agencies, and Offices. If you have a Health problem, there is only one Hospital here and because there is only one Hospital here the Costs are outrageously expensive and not easy to get things done in a timely manner. Much better you stay in the Philippines, as long as they are treating you good. In PI the Food is Cheaper, Medical is Cheaper, Drugs are way easier to get from the Botika, I don't really see much advantage in Coming here, unless you have Visa or Immigration Problems. There are no Girls here like PI, all College age Women leave here and go some place else. So PI is a much better Option, especially if you are already there, and you have your paperwork done to stay there.
