Ko Abroad

Come and join us on our travel adventures abroad 🌏

We are a British and Singaporean couple living in London and our goal is to publish at least one video a month. Destinations you can look forward to in our videos this year include Bulgaria, Norway, Italy, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the UK.

We film all the video footage with a phone so what you see in the videos are what you can experience in person.

    Is there a restaurant at the top next to the gondola station (for non skiers who want to simply enjoy the view)?

    Hi, there are restaurants around the top of Hikage gondola and we did see some dog walkers around the Paradise area where there are quite a few restaurants too.

    I have to compliment your steady iPhone filming technique. Impressive. I'm not a photography expert but I have just one tiny bit of a suggestion. Some (not all) of the panning shots were a skosh too quick. Overall though, for just handheld iPhone camera shots, the videography is excellent and very pleasant to watch. Your channel deserves more subscribers. So here's one more for your channel plus a 👍. Cheers 🥂 ps - Love the background music selections also.
