Chopsticks and Trains

I am based in East Asia and have spent nearly 15 years in the region. The majority of my time was spent in China but I'm very familiar with the entire region. Traveling has brought me some of my most memorable and unique experiences and I want to share some of them with you. So hop on board and join me on this fascinating journey through the FAR EAST!

Hey everybody - uploaded a new video about one of the craziest places of old Appalachia - the town of Keystone, West Virginia. This place was sort of like the Wild West of Appalachia. It was known for its saloons, brothels, gambling dens and of course the occasional shootout. You're not gonna want to miss this video! https://youtu.be/QMcQMbQyEl4

New video! In this adventure we check out a very interesting place called 'Welch, West Virginia'. It used to be called 'Little New York' and the 'Heart of the Nation's Coal Bin' - but what you'll see now is a far cry from those glory days. It's also the place where Sid Hatfield was shot dead in cold blood. Enjoy the episode my friends, and Happy New Year to you all. https://youtu.be/6nwzEpakieg

I finally saw the movie 'Matewan'. After doing research for my recent video on Matewan and physically going there, seeing how the movie really brought it to life was very powerful. Also, as soon as it started I could see that they filmed it in Thurmond, West Virginia - which is another place I visited and one of the most haunting visuals of an old Appalachian ghost town that you'll ever see. It was filmed in 1987 but stands the test of time. Great movie, great cast, great acting - highly recommended.
