Thanks for sharing the etiquette too. It’s important to understand the culture and etiquette. Many tourists ignore this aspect of travel.

Your videos are always enthusiastically presented. It's always thoughtfully presented by a handsome man with a great smile. Very well done.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the great foodie video. 20 min for the chicken rice is well worth it. I also love the roast pork and rice as well. Take care.
