Best Place in Asia to Tour?

[ali123eng]

i'm gonna donate when i get a credit card for the private series and will do the tour when i'm older (a few more 3 or 4 years) :)

[welshray1]

your vids remind me of the game grad theft auto i think its because of the slow speeds of the cars and trucks plus ur riding style is either full throttle or slowing down.. hahaha its funny i wonder if anyone else can see it..

[LuckySlevin7]

2000 Taiwan Dollars... thats like nothing man... hehe thats so cheap I should really come... (j/k)

[itzruben110]

@LuckySlevin7 no no its us$ no taiwan

[CatchUpToMe]

did you say underage girls?

[MetalSmithSportBiker]

ya id have to say i would sine up in a couple years. Im to broke to get a passport right now.

[ehold7]

I'm from Iceland :D

[BigDally13]

mordeth,

You should keep the tour up for many years to come. When I can make it.

[Chevenitsu]

How much does gas cost for you?

[devilhunterred]

I'm from Hong Kong and I'm disappointed that you found HK to be "no fun".

HK isn't for everyone. If you have claustrophobia, dislike for crowds, confined spaces, loud noises, etc, then HK isn't for you. But if you like to see one of the world's largest, most energetic, dynamic multicultural urban metropolis, then HK is the place to be.

[ApemanMonkey]

@devilhunterred

I dislike crowds, confined spaces, loud noises, etc., and i LOVE Hong Kong.

M13 is just very easy to dismiss things he doesn't understand. Like science. Or Hong Kong. Hong Kong is in good company.

[TheParalytic]

would cost me like $1,600 to make a trip there, I wish I had the money to do so. maybe someday

[stoopefy]

If by western you mean 1st world yes we are but we do have lots of bludgers on the doll

[infs]

I loved Hong Kong!

[Krathin888]

10:27 You know what I mean...: white people.

[GPazosL]

@EVILAKUMA He has 2 dogs.

[fruitafval]

i wanna see race track action! :3

[CragHackGaming]

Man, if I only could go on those tours :( Do you think you will be holding them some years from now?

-Regards from Norway

[plym0uth2]

did you say 2000 dollers cuz i nearly had a heart attack untill i realised thats £1000 ish so yeah thats not bad but to get a flight would cost like the same so i couldent do it

[cortinayo]

7 hours a day riding, is this like an SAS psychological torture survival boot-camp?

[justinlegend8800]

yea...no monkey...wtf cody111495

[hatter1993]

i see no monkey -.-

[cody111495]

At 1:10 you can see a monkey in that tree!!

[wordlyfe]

For real though... I would be into something that is much less intense with all of the riding and I'm sure many others would too

[wordlyfe]

You should have a second tour for guys who are cool with traveling by scooter... doing minor sight seeing and getting some local cooze.

[happy51593]

Lol ending it's like final destination :)

[KaltorRotis]

My brother just got back (to the U.S.) from China and Thailand and he enjoyed China more. Go figure...

[KaltorRotis]

@KaltorRotis My other brother's going to Taiwan this fall but he doesn't ride =/

[13mordeth]

@KaltorRotis Well if he plans on spending more than a month in Taiwan he'll need to learn. Either that or be sitting on the back of scooters while 5 foot tall girls ride.

[KaltorRotis]

@13mordeth That I'd like to see XD

[skyii123]

its weds there and it monday here?

[Infaf09]

I really hope to go next year!

[turtlemann14]

is the bearing straight still open? i'll just ride over



[NinjaOnANinja]

10:43. I want that guys video. Someone has your face on camera. I will start the bidding at 10 dollars!

[NinjaOnANinja]

4:36 M13's face!

Like if you fell for it.. noobs!

[Regret696]

@NinjaOnANinja I know what his face looks like, for me anyway xD

[w35t51d369]

North of Pakistan is supposed to be amazing but terrorist groups dominate some areas, also Snow Leopards roam free there so that is risky.

I would love to go on a tour, i have the money its just getting time off work, the next 6 months is the busiest time of the year for the organisation i work for, if i did get time off i do not have a driving license or a motorbike license.

Good luck to you and everyone that goes on the tour.

[Razormare]

@w35t51d369 I've been to the North of Pakistan and I can tell you it is amazing. The great image and scenery of Pakistan has been ruined by the leaders and the media. Shame. :(

Thinking of going to Taiwan soon, your video's given me some inspiration.

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

I've a lotta hw to do... midterms too. Great videos nonetheless, thanks.

[sarsbretta77]

I want to go on your tour but this year might be hard for me. If you're still doing the tour next year I'm totally down.

[merali92]

Mordeth, when I'm older I'm totally coming on a tour :)

[Fiercefighter2]

shouldnt worry about such a strict schedule, if your running late due to your group looking at unexpected things then thats the beauty of adventuring!

[pug95man]

ill be at the august tour :D

[silverhawkroman]

it would be awesome to go tour with you M, maybe when i finish my japanese language study (in 3 years :S), or well, maybe when i have enough money :P

[tokoolforu619]

m13 will you ever go back to canada for vacation

[13mordeth]

@tokoolforu619 I plan on going back this summer. Just depends on how well this year's private series does.

[EVILAKUMA]

@13mordeth why on earth go to canada , NOTHING HERE Dont come

[rusty7two]

What kind of scooters are you guys rideing on the tour. Kinda looks like the PGO 220?

[dayo1971]

will save up of next one in 2012. well in mordeth.i did OZ in 2009 love it

[funk2ion]

Everyone loves a TWAT

[aromchuen]

It's getting there M13. Glad to hear your tours are getting more popular, let's hope you'll be doing them almost full time in the future and make a good living on them. Because like Lo'real commercials say.."You're worth it!" (deserve it in this case)

Also glad to hear you mention Iceland, where I'm from! :p

[crthebigo]

Hrm, for some reason the airfares from Australia to Taipai are more expensive for August (~$700) than they are for the May dates (~$500)?

I would've thought May would've been the better time to go? Not so hot?

[13mordeth]

@crthebigo Both those figures are fucking cheap. You Australians have no excuse to not come out here.

[napathan]

@13mordeth 1,300 from WI, USA

[rockypyro1490]

@napathan around 1500 from east coast :/

[Thekes10]

@13mordeth The flight(s) to Taiwan would cost me about 3000 Euro... =(

[GPazosL]

@crthebigo May has lesser letters, therefore, cheaper. Basic logics mate.

[nightfox272]

M13, i really want to come on one of your tours, its a shame im only 17 at the moment.

Im in Australia to, so that's a plus as well I suppose.

maybe in two years time ill come on a tour :D

Oh, by the way, can you rent bigger bikes than scooters on your tours? kinda like sporty bikes?

[skate4twente]

Thumbs for the dog bowing!

[jarenmanpk]

hmm underaged girls

[Poltergeyst]

i thought taiwan was thailand

[chiwentai1]

Guam is the closest western island near Taiwan.

[sixpackmonkey]

Cn you smoke weed on your tour?

[EruIluvatar]

Hey man you look like a ladies man. How do I get da pussay ? :P Do I have to buy a hello kitty scooter?

[13mordeth]

@EruIluvatar Learn to dance.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@13mordeth

If i do buy the tour do i get to have sex?

[hardw0od]

@13mordeth I want to go in August, but I can't ride a bike, do you provide scooters? I'm just a chicken shit and bikes scare the crap outta me.

[sakuracatz]

Actually, from HK its 1 hour and 25 minutes away. xD

[Mr8Carlos8]

I wish i could affort the tour, I'd love to see asia with a good company

[funk2ion]

I thought the guy at 8:45 was ski-ing the 1st time :p

[TheAllstyler]

mh......a plane ticket would cost me about 2.400$ and 28 hours of my live -_- just keep doing the tours for a few years ;)

[davidofflights1]

A plain ticket from Croatia to Taipei cost 1700$. Thats just to much for me :(

[ThinkBiker]

FUKIN TOURIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i lol'd

[TheCrazymook]

I recognise the place where the video started, wasn't there a Hummer in the car park in one of your other videos?

[67kneil]

omg the tunnle of death :)

[razvianus]

Why dont you make a video on the racetrack? You keep saying in your videos that you were on the racetrack, this and that happened but no video...

[samhain360]

Hopefully i'll get to go next year! Will be studying abroad at NTU and will hopefully have extra time before I leave to take the tour.

[Cationification]

I've noticed one thing M13. You don't say "what-not" much anymore in your newer videos xD

[Cationification]

oh i've already seen this video before ;) ahh well, I watch it again xD

[13mordeth]

@Cationification I kinda thought I'd already uploaded it. But I couldn't find evidence of that on my computer...my apologies if it's a repeat.

[kramcas2]

You forgot the ladyboys

[NickFisher1994]

I wanna go so badly, I'm guessing you have to be 18+ though, which is understandable

[FrostedBuns]

I wish I could go :(

[keesdegroot2004]

Taiwan has it all. Big city's beautiful mountains, etc etc. Eat your hear out.

[nvideabelgium]

How did you build up everything in taiwan m8. Caus learning the language, finding a job, etc... looks for me not that easy tbh.

cheers

[vChipGivesThemSight]

FUCKING TOURIST!

[sebastian3358spawn]

If i am coming from Taiwan will u pay my airplane ticket?!!!

[keesdegroot2004]

In July i'm going to Taiwan again, Yes!

It is beautiful there and you don't see a lot of Western people.Where I stay there are none. Have you ever been to the Penghu island?

[kramcas2]

@keesdegroot2004 Haha im going to Penghu in December.

[henryrita]

fucking tourists!!!!!!

[b4igetu]

Thailand sucks. It is way to westernized nowadays. Taiwan is so much better because it isn't as westernized as Taiwan. I guess that is just my opinion. If you want to experience culture Taiwan is leaps and bounds better then Thailand. I guess this can be more heavily directed at Bangkok and the beaches. Northern Thailand would still retain allot more culture.

[B1zirk]

lets say i find a dog i like while doing the tour with you and am i allowed to take it back with me? or will you be mad?

[SirRedV]

When I get the money and the time, I am doing the tour. Hope your still doing the tours in a few years.

[Kooletz71]

I have been told a couple times that japan is the most beautifull place that they have ever been too, I would like to go there some day

[milenkoman]

Well for me it would cost about $2600 for flight and tour price and i'd be able to spend a couple hours in other cool places before switching flights.

Well looks like I'll be having some fun when my dad kicks the bucket.

[romoboy64]

i really want to go out there for this trip.. but maybe next year. need money, better experience on the bike, but definitely down for this next year.

[krakmxer]

is the tour worth it??

[kazz330]

hey M13, did you learn Chinese while you were in Canada or just pick it up as you live there?

[b4igetu]

@kazz330 He went to Taiwan not knowing any Chinese, or even really knowing what Taiwan was like, that is if I remember correctly. He might have learned a few things to get by, but he didn't learn the whole language in Canada I know that.

When you completely immerse yourself in a language you can pick it up in a couple years, but if you learn a different language in a place that doesn't speak it will take you far far longer then 2 years.

[biggieshot2pac]

Did you die in the tunnel?

[theJdoggIMS]

Taiwan was my favorite asian country of the three I visited. China is freaking crazy nuts. Japan is too controlled, expensive and boring. Taiwan is the happy medium. The Mama bear. Time for me to stop posting.

[b4igetu]

@theJdoggIMS You gotta check out Cambodia, and Vietnam, they are both freaking amazing. Always go for culture and the least touristy places first and you won't be disappointed. I never go with the norm when it comes to travelling.

[theJdoggIMS]

@b4igetu Hope to one day, but I'm wrapped up visiting japan again(personal reasons) and grad school. Maybe, a trip to vietnam and cambodia will be a graduation gift to myself if I can afford the airfare. Too many places and not enough time and cash.

[wayne30403]

I so wanna go to the August tour!! wait! I am Taiwanese~~

[cwaLkk]

how much would it cost instead of the trip just lanning League of legends?

[AnDr3wSchlosser]

I would love to come... but Im only 16.... and i live in Canada lol!

[shinyfuzzy]

wish i could come D:

[azjmiles]

cigarette in one hand, cell phone in the other, as if asians weren't bad enough drivers

[JeroenLondon]

@azjmiles lol

[criskity]

With the most recent update of Firefox, I can finally see your videos without resorting to Chrome.

[13mordeth]

@criskity Firefox has been giving me some problems as well. I sometimes use IE just to upload a video.

[RealMihaiQC]

How much of the trip/vacation/event/whatever covered by the 2 grand?

[13mordeth]

@RealMihaiQC Huh? What 2 grand?

[scratcherneale]

@13mordeth costs 2 grand for the tour?

[suranjangupta22]

@13mordeth in earlier vlogs u were talking how u speak in dollars when money matters.. and u dnt know what 2 grand is.. 1 grand means 1000 $ 

[HeavyGhost]

@suranjangupta22 He never said it was EXACTYLY 2 Grand. He probably meant that it usually costs around $2000 to get there and spend 10 days in Taiwan. At least that is what I would assume. But that is only with my meager amount of common sense....

[13mordeth]

@suranjangupta22 I know what a fucking grand is man....I don't know what he is referring to with his question. 

[kirkscream]

try touring here in the Philippines.

[swatsticker]

m13, do they have laundry mats along the way so i could wash my clothes? I travel very light, everything goes in the carry on or it stays.

[13mordeth]

@swatsticker In 10 days we'll wash our clothes once. So you need 5 days worth.

[southBAYstruts]

@13mordeth

what if i want to bring my gf along and have her ride on the back of my bike? would it be 4000 or 2000? also what bikes do we get?

[KTMMotox1]

@13mordeth please put this in this videos description bro.

[KTMMotox1]

@13mordeth please put this in this videos description bro. Cause banners dont always say..click me.

[KTMMotox1]

@13mordeth Woot!....banners should flash...click me for awsomeness

[tidusian]

@KTMMotox1 wtf are you spamming for you retard

[KTMMotox1]

@tidusian i am not smamming anything, just complementing Mordeths website....dumass.

[KTMMotox1]

@tidusian Whoa...i didnt realize there was so many duplicate posts..totaly wierd. Oh well, its pages back now.

Hey Mordeth, would be fun to see some track time from your POV

I had no idea Taiwan was so cool, modern and wealthy it would seem.

[KTMMotox1]

@13mordeth Woot!....banners should flash...click me for awesomeness

quick question...do you provide bikes?

[theJdoggIMS]

@swatsticker Check out onebag dot com. I survived a 4 week trip to taiwan, china, and Japan with one carryon.

[theJdoggIMS]

@swatsticker You will have to handwash your laundry and hang dry it every night.

[youngsoldier93]

Seems like you need to get some rest bro. We know your a busy man. Peace

[XZaapryca]

Western = European. So yeah, I'd say Australia is Western since it's mostly populated by people of European extraction and has a very high standard of living.

[Platyzoan]

You're fine saying Australia is western. It may not be geographically western, but it certainly is culturally.

Good luck with the tours. I'd consider going in August because I am often in Taiwan then, but this year, I have to take my daughter to Italy for a piano festival in August. Maybe next year.

[BoeingsAreTheBests]

I wish i could go on the tour but i'm only 14 :/

[tcarnaga]

The #7 highway is my favorite road in the north of Taiwan, nice video. Maybe I will see you out there one day.

[aznwilly211]

thats the tunnel of death

[MrVlogMadness]

LOL WHAT WAS HE DOING AT 8:46

[scarekr0]

Enjoyed the vid. I can tell you are fond of dogs. My wife and I have 2 small and 2 large dogs. We hate cats. Does your tour include the "broken signal tunnel challenge". That's should be for the complainer in the group 8)

[jsbgamer21]

Being on the plane for 22 hours might suck *

[farthead4321]

the tags dont say anything about a dog or cat

[jsbgamer21]

I am pricing some flights for the tour and the shortest time was 22 hours. Might suck...

[13mordeth]

@jsbgamer21 America to Taiwan is about 13 hours of flight time if you get a more direct flight.

[azjmiles]

@jsbgamer21 yes total flying time for me the two times I went over were in the 20 hour range. I had about two lay overs one in the States and one in Japan. If you live in NY or LA you might be able to get a direct flight which shaves off a few hours. Otherwise you're screwed.

[DyeTyme]

I think I will be in the August tour.

[rtsoccerplayer]

damn really? that cheap?

well I wish you well with your company. hopefuly you'll still be doing this in a few years so i'll be able to go on one of your tours!

[DVSnmeSON]

are you gonna keep doing tours for years to come? im australian and coming out in august would be sweeeeet! but it would have to be next year lol.

[HONDASBEST]

pause at 8:46

[Dodek72]

Always the fucken' race track... :)

[Lupusxxi24]

I wish i could go but flights are just so expensive from Alberta cheapest  I could find was over $3000 damn

[13mordeth]

@Lupusxxi24 You aren't looking in the right places. I can get a round-trip flight Taiwan-Canada for around 1200 Canadian. Yep, just googled it. It's 800 dollars plus 300 in flight taxes. That's 1100. Big difference from over 3000.

[orochiThing]

@13mordeth WTF!! I'm going to china this summer and can't find anything less than 2000. What site did you find that 800 at?

[13mordeth]

@orochiThing bookingwiz(dot)com/air.asp

[orochiThing]

@13mordeth sexy

[pyuana]

@Lupusxxi24 check out hipmunk.com

[JetblackSYN]

did someone get hit by a car at 8:46? lol

[syncmaster915n]

I've never been to Taiwan but been to Thailand once. I found Thailand to be too commercial and touristsy (everybody is after your dollar and i'm not into underage girls like M13). Judging by his videos though, Taiwan strikes a good balance between sufficiently developed and while yet retaining its exoticness. The scenery are prolly nicer. Wish i could join your tour, so have fun whoever is going and great success to your tour M13.

[JetblackSYN]

I want on your TWAT.

[Mikemaladar]

wait, there'll be beaches!?

[blabby102]

What about Japan? I went touring yesterday and it was perfect. Once you get out of the cities, there are almost no people, the roads are empty. Well built roads and amazing infrastructure. Beautiful mountains and lakes.

[13mordeth]

@blabby102 Everything in Japan is about 3 times more expensive than in Taiwan.

[TheOnlyLoneSolja]

@13mordeth Everything in Japan is about 3 times more radiated than in Taiwan.

[blabby102]

@13mordeth I think pretty much everywhere is 3 times more expensive than in Taiwan. There is a big myth that Japan is very expensive. This is mainly because Tokyo is often named the most expensive city in the world. Expensive? Sure, if you want a large house with a double garage in the middle of the city just like the criteria for the most expensive city ranking. When they come here, many people are surprised at how much cheaper Japan is compared with Australia, etc...

[MargaritasAntesPorco]

@blabby102 China is less expensive than Taiwan....Shanghai, for a major city, is incredibly inexpensive...i recall their giant bottles of beer for, like, .50 usd and a ride across the entire city for maybe $5 usd

[otokonoyama]

@blabby102 Yeah, Japan is really expensive by comparison. A nice place to visit, but you will need to shell out a lot more cash for an equivalent experience.

[leagle0147]

@blabby102 Lots of water too.

[superp63]

@blabby102 and.. its flooded.. full of dead people.. and packed with radiation

[blabby102]

@superp63 Which means that the queue at the airport is shorter than ever! Bonus!

I wouldn't say that anywhere is flooded though...Full of dead people, only around the coast in the Touhoku area...Packed with radiation.....Only within 20km of the Daiichi power plant.

[awesomerandomninja]

I wondered about the airfare thing when I was reading the tour info, and, of course, (as usual), now I feel stupid. Then again, I was reading it while I was pretty damn tired.

[tobie1139117]

curiosity might kill the cat on this random comment

All the female viewers (like this)

[Jaythechauffeur]

Why didn't you like Hong Kong? I've never been there...Looks cool in pictures..lol

[MomoNoHanna]

Yes we are considered a Western Country lol I went to Taiwan back in Feb this year, it wasn't that cold but it was wet (Taipei but visted other parts to) stayed there for just over a week to decide if I want to study there. Looks like I will come end of 2012. I think Japan is closer to us than Taiwan but I could be wrong because I had to transfer in Singapore to Taiwan but to Japan I went streight through (the flight times are longer).

[emergency56]

well i'm hyped ;)

I recently sold my truck. The money would have had me as a definite for 2012 if it happens but I needed to fix some things at home first. 2WAT USA? I dunno, I just want to put that idea into the ether :)
