Such a cool experience. That's amazing that it's so self sustaining. You two are doing such great work! I love watching your videos, and I love that thought at the end. -Brian

[@zawkantlant]

Thank you for volunteering, we desperately need systematic education.

I’m Burmese myself and it’s been so many years since I’ve been to Myanmar and it’s amazing to see how the places are. I was born in Myanmar and then lived in India most of my life so someday in the future, maybe this following summer, I would love to go visit my relatives and have fun😭❤️❤️

What an interesting perspective on Myanmar! Thanks you guys❤️

[@hedgersabroad]

Very cool, you guys! What an incredible experience. I'm thinking that the monks are probably much better behaved than our students.

[@Kai-wf1um]

lol monks are probably the most disciplined beings on Earth.

[@Aih777]

Such enriching experiences you travels are filled with. You can’t put a price on those !!! Love you guys ! You always think of those other than you ! You guys are beautiful, inside out. God bless you.

Wow, you feel their and your warmth in this video. Isn't this one of the reasons to travel. Have the time to really interact and connect with people and the surrounding. At least that's why we love 'slow' traveling. Beautiful video.

[@clivefive4081]

i appreciate your videos and the time and effort you put in to them, thanks for sharing

[@yeyekpg]

Education is the only solution to pull the country out of the poverty and Myanmar really needs people like you who are willing to pay back the society in positive way. The world is more beautiful and life becomes meaningful because of people like you.

Hey Guys, Recently discovered your travel videos and am loving them. I am interested in going to Myanmar at the end of this year. Would you be able to let me know the NGO you volunteered with as its something I am interested in. Thanks,

[@ambermartinez2616]

I really like to do this. Could you guys be going to make a video explaining the semantics of it all? How much did it cost? Was room and board included? Where did you guys stay?

[@tazammulismail1925]

[@Justnothing412]

[@unanibhriain4238]

Hey :) I'm also hoping to visit and volunteer in myanmar and i was wondering what program you volunteered with?

[@mlenglish8258]

I will probably be in Myanmar starting November '18, for at least 6 months. Where was this and with whom did you volunteer? I'd love to help, longer term, if I'm near by.

[@mlenglish8258]

@Sandi Htet Do you have any information on a program?

[@daisybrain9423]

Simon says, "Put your hand on your hair." I'm so sorry, that was mean :P But honestly, what a lovely sight to see. This must have been a wonderful experience, great work!

[@ahmedpharmacy5272]

Are you going to stay long in Myanmar?

[@flyingthenest]

+Ahmed pharmacy this was our final Myanmar vlog we head to Thailand in the next one.

[@loz_nz]

Looks like such an amazing experience! Out of curiosity, is there a reason some people had paint on their faces?

[@Hnin11]

It’s called -“thanat-khar”. Basically , a paste made from certain type of tree bark. Being living in hot ( tropical country) Myanmar people wear it to cool down the temperature. It has SPF property . Hope this helps.

[@jennymichelle81]

Also ...they already explained this I an earlier vlog when a woman was making the paste .. A guy walks past and comments on Steve's beauty 😄

[@williamnaing7953]

I am from Myanmar 🇲🇲 so I can help you next time

[@TheCrookedTraveler]

e mo hi, how are you?

[@meruyertalimaganbetova6769]

Very nice and inspirational video! I just love and enjoy your channel very much! But I have a question about something like mud on people's faces. Could you please tell is it a tradition or just a protection from the sun? Thank you :)

[@flyingthenest]

+Meruyert Jakipbekova its to protect from the sun and also tradition - so a bit of both :)

[@meruyertalimaganbetova6769]

Thanks! BTW, just think about coming to Kazakhstan :)

[@sarahsfavfan]

Was the stuff on the faces for sun protection or for some other reason?

[@flyingthenest]

+Kim Loyer sun protection :)

[@KayehPaw02]

There are a lot of reasons and it’s a culture thing

[@JamesPhotoLX]

Hi Guys, another lovely vlog. Would be interested in volunteering at the monastery with my wife, do you have any details for contacting them or the program you volunteered through?

[@flyingthenest]

+James Angrave Hey James! We volunteered with GoEco.org - just jump in there site and you'll find this project under Myanmar 😊

[@JamesPhotoLX]

Thanks for the information. 👍

[@jeevankumargurung2438]

Nice peaceful buddhism in myanmar.plz monks should avoid meat,egg,alcohol, cigarettes, married and living luxury life.pureveg simple living monks could inspire us to be pureveg and live in simple life without any violence. Buddha said if you don't have any food to eat then you can eat meat.this comment is from the land of buddha lumbini nepal.anyway thanx for nice video.
