After a few months of hiatus from KZitem, and sitting here in California as my once beloved USA goes more and more off its rocker each day, your videos present a beautiful dream. I know you have plenty to deal with and more work than you need in this phase of your life, but I love and respect you and Neenee tremendously and admire what you've accomplished. You hit the jackpot when you decided to relocate to Lao, and your life has been profoundly enriched. Laos also hit the jackpot when you chose it as the beneficiary of your great spirit, good will and generosity. You have at least equally enriched the lives of everyone whose life you and Neenee have touched there. I hope that precious Mina will remain a fixture in your videos but I don't know the status yet -- looking forward to going backward in the videos to unlock the answers to all my questions. Best to you Todd!

Wow Todd that road to your place on the river is much better now, makes it much easier for people to dump their rubbish on your land. It's such a shame that you don't use that house more often, great location to just relax for a while. Mina loves her water and swimming doesn't she, such a ray of sunshine and happiness.

@NowinLao I know what you mean about editing and not having much time to do other things nowadays. I'm just settling out now and building all my equipment.i don't think people understand the work that goes into doing video editing it's not just personal time it also costs a lot of money, too.. well, for me, it's going to cost a lot of money because I am a perfectionist. and want to have a lot of abilities to cover different types of terrain's, and some of the stuff comes down weight factors, so I have to use carbon fibre, and that comes at a premium like 20,000THB for a tripod .. but it will give me the quality shots i want to achieve.

I was thinking, prior to your full retirement/move there, why not renovate and use as an Air BnB. The lot adjacent can be used for glamping. No need for additional, permanent structures there. You could also do the same with Neenee's other house, which you were offering for sale a bit back mate. A viewer/Patreon Mina fund campaign would be good also mate. Invest the donations at a reasonable rate of interest to fund future needs for her.🙏
