    I want to explain, the different walnuts are not related to the age of the trees, but are decided by cultivars. Newer trees are of newer cultivars. The hundred year old walnut is a treasure. Because it tells what walnut was like in Qing Dynasty. The line pepper is also a favorite. They are packed with flavor but not very spicy.

    What a wonderfully informative video, Miriam, thank you. How very kind of the people at the farm to offer you lunch. I was so interested to see Han, her clothes and beautiful hairstyle. I can't wait to hear about her. You all look so happy. What a great education the children are getting.

    The part about filling bottles with spring water reminded me of when I was a child visiting my grandfather's piece of forest in Sweden and drinking straight from a beautiful little spring, as well as filling bottles for our vacation home. I never knew water could taste like that, or even that you could drink water from wild nature. I don't think I've ever done it again since either.

    Miri!!!! Your videos have always been so wonderfully cinematic yet cozy, but somehow you've gotten even BETTER! The videos from your cross-country road trip are truly something special, especially this latest one. The drone shots provide a perfect counterpoint to your more familiar, intimate & up-close style. Of course the scenery is gorgeous, but I think your video showcases it in the best possible manner.
    Truly, I can't properly express how impressed I am with your ability to grow and evolve as a short film maker and documentarian, while (crucially!) maintaining your vision and preserving that heart and sense of wonder present since the earliest days of your channel. ❤❤❤❤

    You and your family are very lucky to be able to enjoy the natural beauty of "chili village" and interact with the friendly residents. This is all part of the long journey of you and your family. Over time, what you present gets better, at least I feel like watching a short film with a series of beautiful images and a dense but light storyline. Very entertaining and insightful. Thank you for everything you provide, always be healthy and successful. Greetings to the entire big and beloved family.

    How lovely to explore the countryside and all the gifts therein. I enjoyed learning about the walnuts, and seeing all the chilis and the various ways it is used. We get red and green chili paste here in Canada, though I suspect that is more common in Thailand. This was really lovely, Miriam! Country folks seem to be nice and welcoming and hospitable everywhere one goes, in every country.

    There is a Taiwanese woman on youtube called Yuki. She married a Japanese and has a child called "Pomelo". Her channel has 100K views each time. I have to say: Miriam's children are 100 times cuter than "Pomelo". Please train them with mathematics and drawing at an early age. So that their IQ potential will be unlocked.
