Hey Luke, it was an absolute honour meeting you! I'm so glad that we had the opportunity to reflect about our current situation and life in general during these past 3 weeks. You are truly a gifted storyteller of people's lives around the world - thank you for coming here and travelling with me. I am lucky enough to have such a kind-hearted friend like you; already missing your presence! Reading all of your comments made me feel so happy; hopefully we can travel together again soon! Thank you for being such an amazing person, my man :)

Currently, I'm a 19 years old student in Burma. I couldn't act blind enough to join any university during this coup. So, I stopped going to school after seeing all the tragedy, deaths and hellishness happening to our students and our people. Right now, I'm working to support my family during the revolution. I wish all the souls we've lost in the revolution best of everything and eternal peace. For all of our people who come across the video, I want to remind you all that "this too shall pass". Stay strong. Stay committed to the revolution. We fight back not because we're certain we'll win. We fight because it's the right thing to do.

As a fellow 2nd year student in Myanmar , I can reassure that James literally represents almost all young people in Myanmar. We want to try to go forward but every situation is holding us back. What James said is so true. The future is out of our control and we don't know what to do with our lives and it infuriates me. Inflation is also insane and it's like we all are living for just food and shelter day by day. Luke thank you so much for coming to our country during these times because it must be so hard. I have been feeling numb because of situations during these two years and I literally bawled my eyes out after watching this video. Hope this video reaches to everyone .

As a Thai person, I had to study a lot about our history of old wars with Myanmar (most of it twisted propaganda for the sake of patriotism) and was always curious about this country. Then I had a chance to visit when Myanmar started to officially open its borders in 2011 and then revisited in 2014. Even in those short years I could see how much the country developed through foreign investments and tourism. The locals who were curious about my button Nokia phone that could take photos in 2011 all had huge touchscreen phones and were always enjoying taking selfies in 2014. I could feel their hopefulness for a bright future, so it broke my heart when the coup happened. Not saying Thailand is much better since the current government also came from a coup, but the level of military oppression is on another level in Myanmar since there are more ethnic minorities there. Many Burmese people are already working in Thailand and they probably feel like they can't go back. I pray for James and everyone in Myanmar. May peace and stability be restored soon and I hope to someday be able to revisit all the places I had been to.

As an American who's only heard about Myanmar through the media reports and occasional social media pages, this was an extreme delight to watch and listen to. This piece you've made, Luke, was so sensitive, transparent, and warmingly (bitter)sweet to watch. I'm so glad that you got to show me and the rest of us Myanmar as it is today thru the lens of you and your friend James.

Beautiful video Luke ♥ This feels like you've really come into your own.

This is a very well-made video. Thank you so much for such an amazing story, Luke & James!

As an American living in Myanmar, I have been moved to tears many times at the reality of the people who live here. Without a doubt, the people of Myanmar are the kindest people you could ever meet. The way they handle the situation here is really unbelievable. Life has to go on and they are making the best of the situation. But I am told constantly how different life was before the events that occurred here. I sincerely hope for good things to happen here. I would love to see more tourists, but, politically I don't know how safe it is to come here. As a foreigner, tourists and expats are sort of in this protected bubble. It is in no ones interest to harm a foreigner. That said, I can count on one hand the number of times I came across Western tourists. There are a few from China and India. Most tourists here are local. Travel is difficult. Foreigners can get "busses" but it's easier to hire a car and driver. When I have traveled outside of Mandalay, the hotels have been full, but they were during holidays. It's an amazing place and I feel so fortunate to be here. I do recommend coming, but travel with care and think about where you spend your money and who is being supported by your dollars (ah yes - crispy $100 are the ONLY foreign currency taken. So if you come, you need to bring pristine US cash).

What is it like now?-I lived there before it opened and when it was opening up,it was best in 2011, just when it was opening, I'm wondering how difficult it is to access the eastern part of the country and it's people on the ground like yourself that probably know.

I feel that you filming this on a minimal setup (just an iPhone) really adds character to the story line. James is such a happy and humble guy, and his home country isn't providing much for him. He doesn't have a lot currently but he still extracts so much out of his life. You extracting this beautiful story from an iPhone speaks volume to your creativity and passion for sharing positivity. Great vibes, thanks for creating and sharing this!

Such a beautiful video. Have paused at the end of the video to type this comment, and James has a massive smile on his face (turning my silent tears into a sob). My heart breaks for all of the lost potential, the sadness of James saying that he can't imagine a future because he's just trying to make it through the present, but at the same time I am inspired by the dogged optimism and grace - my hopes are with the Burmese people that the situation improves so that they can get back to living. Thank you Luke for another insightful and fantastic video

This is amazing. Thank You so much for this video and Luck and James. I got some energy after watching this video.

I visited Myanmar for the month of January and fell in love with the people and culture during that time. The people are so incredibly friendly, and the traditions and clothing are rich and gorgeous. It's a huge shame to see Myanmar destroy itself, with its incredible potential. My fiance is Burmese and I'm planning on moving there in a few months. Wish me luck!

This was excellent, Luke. Myanmar seems like a country with a lot of potential, but it's been so deeply troubled for so long, it's hard to imagine things getting better any time soon. In either case, it was nice to see a rare glimpse of it and to be reminded that most people there are just trying to live normal lives like everyone else. I wish the best for James and for you.

This is fast becoming my favorite channel!

For anyone wondering the poem james told, it's called 'Leisure' by W.H.Davies. And yes, we learn that poem in high school.

James seems like a wonderful human. I can't imagine how frustrating and heartbreaking it must be to have so much potential wasted by such a cruel and selfish government. I hope a better future for Myanmar is ahead ❤

James seems like such a nice and wholesome guy! I related to his story in many ways. As a Venezuelan, when things got pretty pretty bad a few years ago, my life stopped, same as James' and many others in my country. That feeling of uncertainty, not knowing what's going to happen, to put our lives on hold, to stop our education, the feeling of isolation, it's something else, it's horrible, something you'll only understand once you live it. I related to James specially when he said "I was born here and I have no choice", That touched me, not many people not how that feels but I do know. When you are born in a place where you have no choice, it's a raw and cruel reality that can hurt so deeply. We don't have control over anything in these situations, we can only live day by day and think about the present moment because the future seems so distant and it's even painful to think about it. I hope, things can get better, not only for James but to everyone in Myanmar, really. I hope he can find his way and made his dreams come true, I hope we can feel free again, to see a future and light in it. Send him a hug. Great video Luke! 💙

These videos make me reflect and feel emotional which is exactly the goal. I wish James and anyone else, good luck as they continue to work through this war their country is having. ❤️

Luke, another incredibly touching and moving video. You keep pushing the boundaries of what travel videos can tell and share with the world. You’re a gift that keeps on giving ✨

Thank you so much for sharing this gift, your travel story…such a beautiful country & an equally beautiful experience with 2 gifted individuals, now bound by an experience of a lifetime for you both. ❤

I don't exactly why, but this made me cry so badly man. Thank you for the reflection, I really needed it.

The decision to focus the narrative on James' poem about life and uncertainty is so relatable. I felt like I wasn't only relating to him, but to the people of Myanmar as a whole.

Luke, your content is SO valuable! I don't know how to express it properly, it's made with so much integrity and sincerity, the style you have of showing things and telling stories is so unique, I think what sets you apart is that you don't tell the story of what *you* experience in a country, you tell the story of the people who live in that country and who you meet along the way, and that really sets you apart from other KZreadrs who make travel content, the fact that it's not about you, but about them. Thank you for showing us life inside a country which many of us have heard of but would otherwise never have a chance to see from the inside! Also, immediately I wonder if you could make similar content in Ukraine, of course there's no lack of media coverage about the war, but I would love to see how ordinary people still go about their lives there despite the war, and I feel like there'd be no better person than you to tell that story. Or a country like Venezuela, if it were safe... Just a thought, thank you for your videos 🤍

Beautiful video. Thanks for letting us know what the situation is like at the moment. I have been to Myanmar several times (pre-covid) and its one of my favourite places. People are some of the friendliest that iv'e ever met. Hoping to go again soon and your video is a big help.

Brilliant, compassionate, thoughtful, and inspiring. Good job

Luke has become so adept at finding someone's story and just getting out of the way. I've been a fan for such a long time and all of these recent productions (from filming a music video in Senegal to exploring the dark night skies of Pakistan) have just been incredible. Thank you for doing what you and do and please keep making videos. P.S. Technically we slept in the same bed, since I stayed in Filip's Musicbox apartment in Skopje, Macedonia for two months and saw you had been there. Okay, same bed, but not at the same time. 😁

One of the best films from Luke…the main takeaway that I got from this film is how even in bad situations and circumstances, there will always be things that we can take away from those experiences. Myanmar is a beautiful country that has been revenged by war and evil…the worst part about this is how people will hear about the situation and eventually they’ll just forget about it since the media has moved onto something else. We forget about the pain, fear, and difficulties that people have to go through, and I think it was quite courageous for Luke to go there and document his experience, taking on a lot of personal risk, and I think he did a fantastic job contacting and planning with James, and going on this adventure with him. He appeared somewhat quite at first, but being on this journey allowed you and everyone else hear some of the things he had to say, behind the initial facade . The main thing that I’m wondering about is whether his videos are a reflection on his experiences, or if they are a reflection on himself…are the places he choses to go to places that he wants to travel to, or places where he’s trying to find something that he’s lost?

Thank u so much Luke. I got chills watching this video.

Amazing video! Letting people that, otherwise wouldn't be able to, tell their story to the world is a beautiful thing to do. Great work Luke and good luck to James!

Seeing this video made me very emotional, I am from Myanmar and part of the diaspora abroad and to see what is happening be forgotten and not talked about is very frustrating. So I am glad that there are still people who care to tell Myanmar’s story the bads but also about the people and potentials of it. So thank you for making this video

My grandparents were from Myanmar but had to move due to civil unrests. It’s so fascinating watching someone explore the country. I hope I can go one day.

Luke this is literally the best video i have ever seen from your channel. Be friends with james forever.💖 he's such a sweet nice guy.

I am around the same age as James and I am from a place near the conflicts/wars in Myanmar. What James said in the video represents all of us . We have lost our futures , our rights and our dreams . Sometimes I feel like giving up but try to stay strong because I know that's not the answer. So I always try to enjoy the present to stay away from the thoughts that stress me out . Thank you Luke for visiting our country and show the world what is it like here . Also stay strong James , we are in this together.

Luke, I'm so glad that u finally come visit to our homeland, Myanmar. Thank u so much for letting the world know about our country and current situations. Watching this video, I also feel proud of James who represents Myanmar.

His amazing!!! Luke, thank you for sharing this!!

Thank you Luke for visiting to Myanmar. Its a heart touching video tho. Hope you visit again after all things are settled here.

Amazing storytelling, Luke. You did an incredible job at lifting the curtain behind what's been going on in Myanmar and sharing the story of a kind dude and his struggles. I hope you make more content like this.

It is such a bad idea to wander around Myanmar during these days but I really love to see that people still remember and cares for us. ❤

Hey Luke I hope you enjoy our country and thanks for visiting. I am very proud that a foreigner visit us. Thank you😊

Hello Lucas. I am a 66-year-old Brazilian pediatrician. And I just discovered you, right now. I am very happy and grateful for such a wonderful discovery. You are a truly gifted, sensitive, and compassionate storyteller. And, I can feel it, a precious human being. Love and Gratitude, from Brazil.

Luke, you are a brilliant film maker. You get deep into the hearts of people, and that is so rare. You change people's lives for the better and I can only imagine how you will continue to evolve in the future, as you grow and experience more and more. You're still so young. Also, I think what James is feeling is what a lot of people are feeling all over the world right now, though his situation is harsh. I wish him and you the best.

Wow, bro must be the bravest tourist in the world while everyone acknowledge Myanmar as a very dangerous country to visit. It is not that easy to travel around the country even for me as a Burmese but you did. Come and visit again after all the political situations are over. We, the Burmeses, warmly welcome you as ever.

is weed and poppy legal? if so can i pay your rent5 months for 3 nights

Deep respect for trying to live life as free as possible while stuck under the blanket of mass anxiety and fear of the future. Always need to remind myself to keep smiling, and if James can do is, so can I.

Thank you Luke and James for making this video.

you never miss with these videos, beautiful storytelling and showcase of different cultures, i think everyone can agree this is some of the best content on yt right now ❤

Thank you for filming a story about our country. I am Burmese as well and as all of us Burmese know firsthand, the coup has deeply affected us in many ways for the worse and day by day we are watching as our country is crumbling. I appreciate your video as you are bringing attention to the issue at hand when the world seems to have quickly forgotten about us due to there being more important events and Myanmar being a small unknown, unimportant country.

You should honestly write a book about your travels, experiences, the people you've met, the differences in cultures all over the world, the conversations you've had,... 100% would buy and read that.

Such a beautiful video, looks like a cool adventure you guys went on 😊

this was an incredibly eye-opening adventure and story Luke!!! thanks for showing us this part of the world and how beautiful people are no matter the circumstance

I love this channel ❤

Beautiful foray into Myanmar.... Thanks Luke and James for showing us the lil' gems sprinkled in this country

My father is from Myanmar and grew up there for the first couple years of his life before migrating to england. I've always felt detached from that side of my ethnicity, and the fact that almost noone knew the country when i mentioned it, yet this video just made me feel so happy. The culture and the positive, informative way you present this video is amazing. I'm so so so grateful you made this, and it really made my day. One day i wish to travel to Myanmar and reconnect with my roots, but for now i like to experience it through these types of videos :))

I hope James gets to experience all the travel his heart desires!

Brings back memories of my backpacking through the country in 2019, amazing video

i appreciate the honesty in your video
