Anyone who has spent any time in Asia - especially in the past few decades - knows that a town with an Irish bar is a sign of development. There's a town in Malaysia, Kota Bharu, which had always been a 'dry town' (religious reasons of course). Then, one day, a bar opened, a building with a shamrock sign, Golden City. An Irish bar, of course (run by Chinese). Now, if a place serves Guinness when no one else in town does, what do I care who pours it? BTW, the place I live now, a small city in south Thailand, has a proper Irish pub run by a Dubliner.

Nice. I think my local might have been the Dubliner back in the day. It's Oshea's today. I know I was there in 2010? My memory isn't that great. Either that or the Londener. Either way, it's a great bar today. I just got home from hanging out with friends. Nice place to hang out.

Hey thank you Rico. I'm just having a little fun making videos. I'm sure I'll slow down at some point. It can be a bit much at times. Best of luck with your channel. I'll check it out. I kind of float around on who I watch. I like Tim Newton (TNT) for my Thai info. I'll watch CB Media now and then. Paddy Doyle is fun. I like the guys that restore Harley's too. For a little help with KZitem issues, I like Nick Nimmin. He's in Chaing Mae, but it's all YT info. Best of luck with the new channel. I'll go check it out. Joe

@@redtarget4182 I haven't been a Guinness guy in a few decades. I heard it's brewed somewhere else. I remember hearing a pub that had the original brought in from Ireland. Of course it was expensive. It's the same with IPA's. My hometown Stone IPA is here at 320b a pint. The owner told me a small keg is $300 US. That's a crazy price, but it has to cross the ocean from San Diego.
