Yeah man, this is a top tier effort. Could be my favorite videos you've done. I bought one of those hippy bags recently in Colombia and was told the palm it came from, I instantly forgot so cool to get a reminder. Also, how goddam good is sour sop. I hope one day you'll get to SEAsia and we can observe your reaction to eating Durian!

Real local market filled with real local plants, love it! Refreshing and down to earth compared to my local bougified 'farmers market' selling the latest-trending leafy green, overpriced carrots, and handmade charcuterie boards... lol. Thanks for the tour!
