Wow, And you write it all out, too, below the video. Really helpful. I'm really glad i stumbled onto your channel.

[Maryangel24]

@robbiedaug yes, in all my videos :) so that people can read what i say while i say it or learn it afterwards :) and thank you very much!

[Maryangel24]

@Maryangel24 france?? haha wow, i was way off the mark, i was convinced it's near america/canada. oh well. yep, zurich in switzerland :)

[Maryangel24]

@sentunim ooh that's newfoundland, right? don't think i know anybody from there - awesome :D

zurich :)

[Maryangel24]

@sentunim LOL! :D where are you from anyway?

[Maryangel24]

@sentunim well, "gloh" which is pronounced almost the same as klo means "i let/let" or "i've let/left" in some dialects in SG. i'd say "glah" though :)

[Maryangel24]

@sentunim haha well, i thought it might appear more classy if you actually know no one's urinating in this room, LOL. but anyway, yeh, acoustics are fine everywhere, but lighting sucks as, haha.

[Maryangel24]

@sentunim haha, fair enough question. it's the bathroom, not the toilet though. i make them in there because it's the only room in my flat with decent lighting. it's too dark in my room, especially during winter. :)
