VIDEOS

I have two YouTube video channels.  The first channel has videos from 2012 and earlier including USA cross country videos.  The second channel has videos from 2013 and more recently.  I created a gmail account and it became much easier to load videos to this account vs. signing in to a different account. (Google doesn't allow Channels to be merged under a single account.)

Here are links to the two "channels":
FIRST CHANNEL                  SECOND CHANNEL

​
Below are the video highlights:

DOOSAN  BEARS  BASEBALL

I was describing this to someone and they said "oh you mean it's like a European soccer game?"  No, Japanese baseball games are similar to European soccer games.  This is more like going to a pop concert and a couple of people are running around on a field below.  People may be playing a sport somewhere in the vicinity...I'm not sure.  There was lots and lots of singing.
SOUTH KOREAN BASEBALL

WHALE SHARKS

You can swim within a foot of a thirty foot fish.  That's all the background you need.
DONSOL WHALE SHARKS

THE CHINESE

You may not believe me but this happens every single day in Chinese parks.  If you ever visit Hong Kong there are two groups in Victoria Park every morning that perform a miniature version of these routines.  I have no idea what is going on...but neither do a lot of the other people standing around and watching.  This is simply the Chinese being Chinese and it's absolutely glorious.

HAERBIN  TOP  SPINNERS

Haerbin's amazing - there's a Siberian Tiger "Reserve", beer gardens pop up during the summer, but it's the Chinese retirees taking advantage of the good weather that made me love the city.  
CHINA'S NORTHEAST

MYANMAR

Lots of temples, singing in the street, "leg-oaring" a boat, riding in a taxi, puppets, monks eating, and crossing a bridge on a train...it's much better then it sounds.

INDIA

Most videos do a somewhat reasonable job of capturing the moment.  The videos in China...that is what it's like.  The South Korean baseball game...that is what it's like.  But India...well...you can't capture India.  It is on a completely different scale.  When you see a clip that's what it is, a clip.  What I am filming literally went on for hours.  The country is constantly moving.  Also until you can capture smell, touch, and taste on a camera, the only way you'll be able to experience India is to visit.

JAMES  BOND  BUNGEE  JUMP

Still one of the greatest things I've ever done.   This video also highlights my photo-editing skills...or my ability to cut and paste in iMovie.  It still looks pretty sharp but someday I'll have to go back and recapture in HD.
