Sunday, January 5

 Watching YouTube videos is a regular part of our routine.  I like Steve Marsh and Scott Manson, both from Scotland.  This morning, we caught a video of Steve and his wife, Alicia, in a small town in NE Scotland on New Years' Eve.  They stayed in a renovated Nissan Hut which was part of a POW Camp from the Second World War and joined in the NYE celebrations in the local town, which included a Fire Ceremony.  Brilliant!

We've recently discovered someone from Germany called Ken.  His channel is called Ken Abroad and most of his videos are filmed in South-East Asia, and all in English.  He's a strange fellow and takes incredible chances.  On one video, set in Indonesia, he decided he was going to visit a dockyard area (on his own).  He talked his way onto a decrepit wooden cargo ship, chatted to the crew, then left via a rundown area of dirty streets and hovels.  All the time he is carrying his state-of-the-art GoPro camera and who knows how much in his wallet.

I don't know why he hasn't been knocked on the head and robbed.  Today, though, he was in a five-star hotel in some other large city, enjoying the high-life.  It seems a strange career choice to be a blogger but it seems you can make a good living at it.   To each his own, I suppose.
