    Hi Todd, great show as always. The information is orally handed down through the generations. The Indigenous Aboriginal people of Australia, did this for over 60,000 years, wrap your mind around that!. Keep up the good work mate, 😋🖐👍.

    Hi Guy's What an amazing part of the world you have reached, truly the the top of the world. When you look at the road conditions, and look at all the development that there is, you have to wonder how they actually got all those materials up there, and the price the locals would have to pay for all that extra freight cost. Great footage as always, and amazing courage driving on those road in 2 wheel drive.

    Hey brother,,, spectacular,,stupendous,,amazing! Great vid bro! The Stones,,,one of my all time top 5 favs. Best use of this song in a movie,,The Big Chill from 1983. Friends gathered for one of their friends funerals,,and one of the women sat at an organ and played the opening notes of this song. Was perfect. The country you went thru was amazing,,kind ,friendly people. The tea trees were cool,,the green whiskey process was amazing. I was struck again by your knowledge of plants. Maybe you and my Dad can start a garden and plant store,,call it "The Old Man and The Aussie,,,,Bush masters "lol interesting building style up there. Cool place. Thanks Todd Ttyl,,,Marlon

    What was the elevation of that tea plantation? I live at 4200 feet, but would probably be puffing and wheezing up that hill too.
    I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but There are some beautiful women in Laos, like the girl you asked for directions.
    I need to go there, get a couple bottles of the green liquor for my brothers-in-law back in Da Nang.

  • @nengvang9163
    @nengvang9163 Před rokem

    I would love to try the pure whiskey that you nag Nini drank. The green whiskey color that is made from the bitter melon leaves that you and Nine saw while the man chopped from the hands. All the pure whiskey is good for cooking with squirrel meats, goat meats, sheep meats and lemur meats. But my recommendation to you that don't drink that strong alcohol while you're operating a machine because the road condition is looking bad shapes.
