Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful experiences. Myself, I'm Vietnamese. I was born in the Hà Nội and migrated to Sài Gòn with my parents in 1954. I'm 72 now and haven't seen or heard of anything like this before. What an experience. Human beings try to live and survive in all situations and scenarios. Before critically scrutinizing the ways people live, wait until you ARE starving, then, only then, y'all understand. Being poor is the deepest sin and the worst crime of all.
@trungnguyen-hv4ji thanks for sharing your story. I was born in Bangladesh, & my paternal grandfather married his second wife because my grandmother suddenly became sick. Unfortunately, I was born after all 3 of them passed, so I never got to meet them. However, I had very loving grandparents who passed away in the last few years. I miss them all dearly. My grandfather was my hero. He was a freedom fighter during the war for independence against Pakistan. I try to appreciate all cultures around the world & their customs. We are all more alike than we are different. We should all try to get along so our future generations can live happily, & maybe then, we can heal the earth.
I have been homeless and lived in bush had my bones sticking out ribs knee joints etc and I would still not eat that so yes I have actually been starving and I say fk that I still have standards I’m not an animal don’t tell me what not to scrutinise been proper down and out
As a Vietnamese person, I can say claim that these traditional customs just exist in remote tribes in Vietnam. But even most Vietnamese citizens are not familiar to these customs ._.
Lies!!!! I know you keep amputated limbs in the back of your closet as well!!! Not like in the west where the doctors stole MY appendix after my surgery. Thieves.
Hi, I lost my right leg above the knee in 2018 and I believe that makes sense. I was in a coma for 29 days. And when I wake up my leg was missing, but ever since I have been morning the loss of my leg because they just discard it like it is nothing but it’s been part of my body for 58 years, and I wish they would’ve spoken to someone before they just throw it in the fire or whatever they do with it keep up the good work Cliff from Australia 🇦🇺
@anabella4166 yes, actually they should have. It is a part of his body and he should have the right to decide what is done with it. You're comment lacks compassion, understanding and a basic respect for human rights. If you watched the video you had the chance to learn that people have all sorts of different beliefs. If this person had been a part of the culture in the video, then by discarding his leg he would have been doomed for all eternity. They believe in an afterlife. If the leg would have been preserved he would have had the chance to be whole again in the next life. Whether you agree with it or not has no basis. People have rights!
@@xenonmobHow should they have put it while at the same time keeping the title short and informative? I can’t think of a better way. English has several meanings for certain words and it’s practically impossible to avoid double meaning sometimes,
Since I discovered this channel 2 days ago, I am just addicted. The content, the quality of production, Andrews way of presenting -- just top league. Should be at least 1M subs on this channel.
It’s not actually poop. It’s the digestible grass extract that’s about to be absorbed in the small intestine. The actual poop will be in the large intestine
@@Andrew_Fraser Andy, frankly I think your production is too good and need to be seen by millions of people around the world as you share the cultural experiences of minorities. This is almost similar to early days of Johnny Harris after he left Vox. Informative, expository, crossing boundaries and unique topics. I might be wrong here but I believe you might not have a strong social media campaign unit. Though your channel has been up for more than a year dedicated viewers (like myself) have never heard or seen your channel. Case in point; I noticed you have only uploaded very small number of YT Shorts, without Shorts the potential viewers engagement is going to be low compared to other channels. I mean, imagine putting a catchy title on a Shorts videos about a bizzare custom in one remote village, people will be curious to see more. Shorts draw in millions of views and subscribers through conversion so you might want to look into that. No sponsors? I mean for the quality of effort you and your team must have put in to produce these videos you need to recoup the cost quickly to enable you continue giving us these beautiful documentaries. I love that you interact with your viewers, shows humility and connection. But you might want to throw in some Merchs and affiliates for loyal subscribers to buy in order to support the channel. How are you doing on Patreon and Channel membership. I see lots of ways your team could explore to increase viewership and subscription. I wish you the best on your journey🙂
You are amazing Andrew. You have taken us on your amazing journey, introducing us to the amazing different tribes of the world. The Nung and the Hmong.
I'm an American woman who is obsessed with Vietnam culture. I would love to experience Vietnam for myself in person but videos like this are probably all I will ever get to experience. So thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks Andrew, I enjoy learning along with you in all these crazy places and unusual traditions etc! The animals in the markets get to me the most though-they all have emotions and to see them suffering whilst still alive is heart wrenching. I realise it’s their livelihood, still tough to deal with. Plus the amputee’s limbs is difficult also! I really felt sad for that gentleman who is finding it difficult to have his arm still “hanging around!” Bless him… Thanks for sharing… Greetings from Perth 🇦🇺💕🙏🏼
Một video có nội dung vô cùng chất lượng! Là người Việt Nam, tôi ủng hộ mọi người giữ gìn nền văn hóa của dân tộc mình. Chỉ là cần giữ vệ sinh cho ngôi nhà sạch sẽ hơn! 😊
Your Tour guide in Hoang Su Phi sound very polite and feel like a man with alot knowledge in Vietnamese language, must be good to have him as a guide your tour.
Im an American amputee, i asked to keep parts of my leg but i was not allowed, they said it had to be incinerated as medical waste which annoyed me, i just wanted my toe bones but then some poor soul would have had to prepare that for me, and i wouldn't wish that on anyone.
There is a girl on tiktok who keeps her amputated leg in the bottom drawer of her freezer. Pretty cool. But she did have to fight to get it which is silly. Like it was part of her. Yours was part of you, your body still.
@@TheLittleSukie yeah but you got to look at it from a medical stand point. Amputated limbs count as biohazard, if not preserved correctly. Im sure not alot of people know how to mummify limbs here in the states. 😅
Scattered indeed. Dated a Hmong girl back in high school….in Michigan. They used to have a Hmong festival in detriot. Don’t know if they still have it though, was almost 20 years ago
Here in the USA most specifically the southern region it is called chitterlings i.e. pig intestines. If they are cooked properly they are very safe and actually very tasty.
It´s not the same at all, chitterlings are thoroughly cleaned inside and out before cooking, here they are thrown into the pot with the poop instill inside and are served in the same oily poop water.
I can understand wanting to keep the body part you lost, after all it was a part of you. I’m surprised more people and cultures do not do it to be honest.
I have this love and Compassion for Vietnamese people, I can’t explain it. I don’t mean to stereotype, however, I see how very hard they work to survive. They have very little material goods. I know my view is narrow based only on videos. They often smile and accept what life gives them. I pray God blesses them and gives them hope and they find their purpose.❤
I've always wanted to travel and learn more about other cultures. I'm not able to travel the world so I highly value and appreciate the people that make content like this. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Such an interesting way of life I would have otherwise never known about.
Not sleeping past 60-72 hours becomes INCREDIBLY dangerous for your mental health. I've had experienced severe insomnia and didn't sleep a wink for 76 hours once and it was TORTURE ! It makes me cringe just remembering it. Sleep deprivation is actually a method of torture and is prohibited as per the Geneva convention. It's actually worse than any physical pain I've ever experienced.
yep happened to me after a point i kept trying to stay uo because my mom told me i needed to fix my sleep schedule but then i couldnt sleep, i got delirious, finally ended when i fell asleep standing up and gashed my chin open on the bathroom counter and had to get stitches. i was finally able to sleep after that. to this day my husband and my mom believe i was on drugs
@@DylanWills-dg7kc yes its traumatizing just like sudden psychosis is. youre not in reality, you hallucinate, everything is terrifying to you, all your loved ones are out to get you, theyre plotting against you etc. Even when its not painful its TORTURE. Just like white room and water dripping is NOT painful but it is defined as torture, because the psychological effect on the people its used on. Really, if it gets bad enough, you will NEVER get over the trauma of it. I know me personally, it definitely added to my existing CPTSD.
@@foreverpainful I've had to sit it in a 10'x10' foot room for 10 days straight with no sleep and zero company. Nothing to do but stare at the wall, not even a book to read. You know what happened? I got bored, end of story lol, no joke. Virtually or literally copying and pasting from the Internet doesn't do much to convince me I'm wrong when real life has been nothing but evidence to the contrary. ( I'm speaking in general, obviously there are always exceptions.) In 32 years I've known hundreds of people and have never known someone who hadn't stayed up for a few days by choice multiple times. They stayed up to play a new game on release, stayed up to attend a music festival, stayed up for a 3 day weekend party, stayed up because they were simply having too much fun with their friends, stayed up because they have an important deadline, work in general, ect.. My point is if a few days of no sleep literally traumatizes you, you are in a small minority and I'm glad nothing worse has happened to you. I guarantee the underlying problem is the op has anxiety issues, no sleep would make that a lot worse, often in the ways you described, though it's not necessarily a correlating factor. One more thing: It's a bit incompetent and very misleading that people are saying sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture, and using that as evidence to a point, when no one is mentioning the things THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO to make sleep deprivation torturous. Like they are just telling people, "hey don't go to sleep", and they listen with no incentive; lmao! CONTEXT PEOPLE. IF I locked a coke/sex addict in a room with a bunch of blow and prostitutes and said they couldn't sleep for 3 days I doubt they would consider that torture. You can't mention the torture unless you're mentioning all of the other accompanying things that comes with it all the things they're doing to you while you're not sleeping. Let's start with the fact that you're in a tiny room and can't go anywhere.
Sooo I saw a different video recently about a Vietnam veteran telling his dad, who fought in WWII, about how the Vientcongs fought. His dad said that he couldn't believe what his son went through. So that was about the fighting but I can imagine the food the Vientnam veterans ate had to be interesting yet unpleasant. Unpleasant during war or never ever being accustomed to it.
This is really, really next level content Andrew wow. It's crazy but tbh a beautiful tradition, however I would never hang my own leg over the same place where I cooked though, crazy! However you can't let your arm go if you always keep it close to you
These people’s traditions, food, etc are exactly the same as Southwestern Chinese people. They are in fact ancient Chinese people who are living in modern Vietnamese territory.
As a Vietnamese person, I can say claim that these traditional customs just exist in remote tribes in Vietnam. Even most Vietnamese citizens are not familiar to these customs. And even in China or any country else in the world, I believe there are still strange and weird traditions like those in my country.
@@duongquynh8129 They are not strange and weird at all. We knew those traditions well through articles, documentaries, tiktok videos, etc. These traditions are still existent in Southern China.
@@julioduan7130 so you're telling me intentionally amputating limbs and drying them so you can smoke out of them is not a strange or weird tradition? How many cultures are you aware of that do that?
More than the fascinating stories of the Hmong people to date, I felt sad knowing the dark stories they've endured during and after the vietnam war. As a free-people they identified themselves, I got caught at how they were able to preserve the culture and traditions away from the modernisation of the present civilisation. I love how Andrew just listens to the stories of these people and then narrating it, then, you'll never know you are just caught up watching his documentaries for hours. Thank you Andrew for these digital stories!
Hey Andy, I really enjoyed this series but I must confess that I have not had any dried or cured meats 🍖 since seeing a certain episode. Hope you are enjoying your vacation. Seeya Next Time ✝️🙏🐢
Interesting! Love learning! ❤ I would love to see a follow up video where the host brings some prosthetics to the people who lost limbs to help them. ❤
Their practices are just extreme to us because we don’t do it. It’s their culture but not ours so it’s just different but not extreme to them. Understand them without judgement is the best way to learn about someone else. Their norm isn’t ours but nothings wrong wit that. They may find people in America praising a false god or idolizing people may be extreme to us. Just saying
Can I suggest you review the audio mixer of the finished videos, the background music often overpowers the monologue and unless listening on a high volume it's hard to hear you sometimes
It was hard to hear you sometimes because the background sounds were quite loud. When you talked about how expensive the buffalo are there was a loud screech too. Good content tho
Xin chao Andrew! Yet another sensational video to your channel my friend. I really made it through 1hr 20mins plus the closing with you not wearing your glasses which is quite surreal.. lol! A huge prop to your production team behind the scene... they ARE the reason as well for your channel success no doubt. Hope to bump into you in Hoi An when I visit again. Cheers!
@@skatterpro No, that's actually accurate. There are other factors. But one sideaffect of amphetamine abuse is loss of sleep. Sometimes for days and days. It's proven fact that getting sleep and good sleep at that is a huge factor in the health of our brains. When you don't sleep a lot of weird things start to happen. Even without drugs, lack of sleep can drive you insane. Mix that up with Amphetamine psychosis and you're in a for a bad time.
I did meth for 22 years as have my friends all 5 of us who grew up together we have been clean for 6 years and there are no memory issues whatsoever. We all remember just about all of it and we wouldn't sleep for 5 and 6 days
1:19:20 Marvelous Gentle simple beautifull Humanity,kind Peoples,i hope that could stay in health for all your life,and live in serenity with your lovely dears family !Emotinoal documentary !
I kept trying to understand what you were referring to these people as… thanks to the comments I found out it was a Hmong village that you visited. Great content- this is also why most Hmong people are not organ donors.
hmong american from the midwest here,was a joy to see you cover the hmong family that was polygamist. (the last words he gave you at the end directly translates "long heart" meaning be patient)
Correct, they are not Nung people but Hmong people. Orginated China dynasty (sub-group Miao), then migrate to Southeast asia. Scatter after Vietnam war, known as "vietnam secret war" recruited by the USA CIA. 100% understand what they are saying in Hmong.
why is the music so loud? it made it very difficult to understand a word he was saying,had to use subtitles. Apart from that, it was an amazing vid .very good 👍
We have it here 2 in r country d smoked food thing inalong Baguio city & b4r its normal 4 them dt it has flies in it but now generations they have stuck it in storage smoked room so dt it will much safe 2 flies 2 be eaten by clients.And some tribe here in dz area have diff.style of burying there dead 1 they hang it in a cliff of 1 mountains so when u visit u will so hanging the coffins in dt cliffs.Its amazing 2 know dt dz 2 diff.people in diff.country have d same style of meat preserving d foodie.Godbless 2 ur journey & keep safe u make us enjoy a good jour ney w/ u 2.
Your work reminds me of the old "Nat Geo" where documentaries were high quality, informative, fascinating and full of surprises. Today, everything is behind a paywall, shallow, a two minute snippet here and there, subscription here, subscription there, or programs that were released _decades_ earlier. Join us in social networking or login required to get more access and _still_ requires payment. Not even PBS a "Public" founded Broadcast Station (it's in their name!) with lots of private endowments is immune to this which is crazy when you think about it. (ALL of their new programs are locked behind paywalls). Ironically the more money they want the less I want to visit/watch them. In fact, I can't remember the last I watched any of their programs probably more than five years ago. People like you are the reason why RUclips is still KING!
There has been a large Vietnamese community in my area of Orange County CA, for many decades, and although I have learned a few things about their customs and cuisine, this video makes it apparent there are still many things I do not know about their country.
Wow, you are brave. Personally, I can't think of any other food that would beat the poo soup. Maybe eating the amputated foot would be worse. I don't know what I'd pick if I had to choose. What would you pick?
I think it would have been kind that if you were filming them when the women go to get water or wood that you would take a container as well to draw water to take back to the village with her that would be 2 less containers that she would have to go back to fill up. You must give back in whatever way you can, simple thoughtfulness is very much appreciated❤

Let's start with the fact that you're in a tiny room and can't go anywhere.
@@DylanWills-dg7kc if you actually went 10 days straight with absolutely not even a few minutes of sleep, you would have gone insane.
Seeing this stuff makes me wonder what type of crazy stuff the US soldiers experienced and seen during the Vietnam war...
Sooo I saw a different video recently about a Vietnam veteran telling his dad, who fought in WWII, about how the Vientcongs fought. His dad said that he couldn't believe what his son went through.
So that was about the fighting but I can imagine the food the Vientnam veterans ate had to be interesting yet unpleasant. Unpleasant during war or never ever being accustomed to it.
The amount of education in this Video is insane! Very high quality!! thank you so much I learned a lot!
I am from Hoang Su Phi, hello everyone

@@jentealwaves hello
Hey Andrew, those are HMONG people that live in Veitnam that you visited... Another great video, I enjoyed this one very much.
This is really, really next level content Andrew wow. It's crazy but tbh a beautiful tradition, however I would never hang my own leg over the same place where I cooked though, crazy! However you can't let your arm go if you always keep it close to you
Bravo! you are one arm or one leg ahead of sonny in this place!
These people’s traditions, food, etc are exactly the same as Southwestern Chinese people. They are in fact ancient Chinese people who are living in modern Vietnamese territory.
Their lives reminded me ancient China.
you chinese get on my nerves man. leave your brethren alone and stop trying to spread communism
As a Vietnamese person, I can say claim that these traditional customs just exist in remote tribes in Vietnam. Even most Vietnamese citizens are not familiar to these customs. And even in China or any country else in the world, I believe there are still strange and weird traditions like those in my country.
@@duongquynh8129 They are not strange and weird at all. We knew those traditions well through articles, documentaries, tiktok videos, etc. These traditions are still existent in Southern China.
@@julioduan7130 so you're telling me intentionally amputating limbs and drying them so you can smoke out of them is not a strange or weird tradition? How many cultures are you aware of that do that?
More than the fascinating stories of the Hmong people to date, I felt sad knowing the dark stories they've endured during and after the vietnam war. As a free-people they identified themselves, I got caught at how they were able to preserve the culture and traditions away from the modernisation of the present civilisation.
I love how Andrew just listens to the stories of these people and then narrating it, then, you'll never know you are just caught up watching his documentaries for hours. Thank you Andrew for these digital stories!
Hey Andy, I really enjoyed this series but I must confess that I have not had any dried or cured meats 🍖 since seeing a certain episode. Hope you are enjoying your vacation. Seeya Next Time ✝️🙏🐢
Interesting! Love learning! ❤ I would love to see a follow up video where the host brings some prosthetics to the people who lost limbs to help them. ❤
Their practices are just extreme to us because we don’t do it. It’s their culture but not ours so it’s just different but not extreme to them. Understand them without judgement is the best way to learn about someone else. Their norm isn’t ours but nothings wrong wit that. They may find people in America praising a false god or idolizing people may be extreme to us. Just saying
He literally hanged his amputated leg over the stove that he cooks food you noob
People can still have an opinion.
I rather not understand people that literaly smoke human remains
These are ape hybrids not humans. Stop your nonsense please as if this is normal.
Dude they smoke their limbs, that is just pure an utter disgusting insanity, no matter the "culture" argument.
Andrew's comparison to biltong ❤🇿🇦 Cultured AF.
Can I suggest you review the audio mixer of the finished videos, the background music often overpowers the monologue and unless listening on a high volume it's hard to hear you sometimes
Omg... good documentary.. thank you. Keep up the good work
It was hard to hear you sometimes because the background sounds were quite loud. When you talked about how expensive the buffalo are there was a loud screech too. Good content tho
Xin chao Andrew! Yet another sensational video to your channel my friend. I really made it through 1hr 20mins plus the closing with you not wearing your glasses which is quite surreal.. lol! A huge prop to your production team behind the scene... they ARE the reason as well for your channel success no doubt. Hope to bump into you in Hoi An when I visit again. Cheers!
As an Asian growing up, eating that soup and seeing you trying it makes me proud.
Without sleep we lose the ability to form memories. Thats why long term amphetamine drug users almost always go crazy
That's not the reason, at all, no.
@@skatterpro No, that's actually accurate. There are other factors. But one sideaffect of amphetamine abuse is loss of sleep. Sometimes for days and days. It's proven fact that getting sleep and good sleep at that is a huge factor in the health of our brains. When you don't sleep a lot of weird things start to happen. Even without drugs, lack of sleep can drive you insane. Mix that up with Amphetamine psychosis and you're in a for a bad time.
I did meth for 22 years as have my friends all 5 of us who grew up together we have been clean for 6 years and there are no memory issues whatsoever. We all remember just about all of it and we wouldn't sleep for 5 and 6 days
I'm a Vietnamese, and I love love love your content
We also had "Cow Dung Soup" in my place but we cleaned it thoroughly with salt and lemon and we called it "Sachek".
Is it good,?
Easily my new favorite channel 🤙🏼
1:19:20 Marvelous Gentle simple beautifull Humanity,kind Peoples,i hope that could stay in health for all your life,and live in serenity with your lovely dears family !Emotinoal documentary !
Love it! Thanks Andrew, for posting and sharing. The videos are awesome, well-paced, informative, and thoughtfully narrated.
The amazing thing is that even in such a place, the food still looks more hygenic than Indian street food
just discovered your amazing channel! Thank you for the top-notch and informative documentaries! Keep up the amazing job mate! :)
What if the dog eat the leg or the hand
I kept trying to understand what you were referring to these people as… thanks to the comments I found out it was a Hmong village that you visited. Great content- this is also why most Hmong people are not organ donors.
A good deal is actually having a vacation style job. You’re essentially a tourist wandering around with a translator.
anyone else click on this thinking they where smoking weed out of body parts not going to lie to you people im smoking a bone right now
The most fascinating part of the world, in my opinion! Thank you for sharing.
Mind blowing but yet very informative. Outstanding content.
hmong american from the midwest here,was a joy to see you cover the hmong family that was polygamist. (the last words he gave you at the end directly translates "long heart" meaning be patient)
Doesn't make since tho
You sure it’s not “long liver”? 😛 hello from another Hmong American from the Midwest.
The f***...I have never heard of polygamy being practiced in Vietnam let alone preserving limbs. This is wild!
Pasco County, Florida, I know some people that would call 11 days amateurish!!! 😂😂😂
I see what your saying...👁️👁️ wide open.... methology...
Correct, they are not Nung people but Hmong people. Orginated China dynasty (sub-group Miao), then migrate to Southeast asia. Scatter after Vietnam war, known as "vietnam secret war" recruited by the USA CIA.
100% understand what they are saying in Hmong.
Are you talking about the amputees? Because the first guy is definitely Nung. Hoang Su Phi is home to many minoruty ethnic groups :).
@@koalaminh1 hour in
Amazing documentary! And love the music choices. What are they?
It sounds simple, so I apologise for that, but I'd love if you could show on a map where you are. New subscriber x
How common are amputations there if a tiny culture has developed an entire tradition for this?
why is the music so loud? it made it very difficult to understand a word he was saying,had to use subtitles. Apart from that, it was an amazing vid .very good 👍
We have it here 2 in r country d smoked food thing inalong Baguio city & b4r its normal 4 them dt it has flies in it but now generations they have stuck it in storage smoked room so dt it will much safe 2 flies 2 be eaten by clients.And some tribe here in dz area have diff.style of burying there dead 1 they hang it in a cliff of 1 mountains so when u visit u will so hanging the coffins in dt cliffs.Its amazing 2 know dt dz 2 diff.people in diff.country have d same style of meat preserving d foodie.Godbless 2 ur journey & keep safe u make us enjoy a good jour ney w/ u 2.
my hmong from Vietnam. thank you. your videos are great
Your work reminds me of the old "Nat Geo" where documentaries were high quality, informative, fascinating and full of surprises. Today, everything is behind a paywall, shallow, a two minute snippet here and there, subscription here, subscription there, or programs that were released _decades_ earlier. Join us in social networking or login required to get more access and _still_ requires payment. Not even PBS a "Public" founded Broadcast Station (it's in their name!) with lots of private endowments is immune to this which is crazy when you think about it. (ALL of their new programs are locked behind paywalls). Ironically the more money they want the less I want to visit/watch them. In fact, I can't remember the last I watched any of their programs probably more than five years ago. People like you are the reason why RUclips is still KING!
There has been a large Vietnamese community in my area of Orange County CA, for many decades, and although I have learned a few things about their customs and cuisine, this video makes it apparent there are still many things I do not know about their country.
This is south vietnam....
There's a first for everything and your making my tummy turn with your dung soup
I will never complain about the ques in Asdas and Tesco ever again!!
I love Northern Vietnam...it's like travelling back in time.
What kind of tradition is it, you love this type of village. I'm scared bro.
Wow, you are brave. Personally, I can't think of any other food that would beat the poo soup. Maybe eating the amputated foot would be worse. I don't know what I'd pick if I had to choose. What would you pick?
Not gonna lie, I read the title and straight up thought it was smoking human limbs in a Thuốc lào or Rizla....
this stuff is better than movie. Ty
What's the problem with your video editor? It's been 3 minutes and the frame literally changed like 10000 times per second until now.
10:13 Andrew, you let your intrusive thoughts take over.
Not all cultures are equal. Some are definitely better than others.
At first you said smoke, I thought you gonna use that limbs as a bong 😂😂😂
In italy, in Naples, exists a similar food to this one made with cow dung, it's called 'O pere e 'o musso, it's delicious
Did you buy those pearl earrings, the ones that you held up, for her?
The bling is gorgeous.
I think it would have been kind that if you were filming them when the women go to get water or wood that you would take a container as well to draw water to take back to the village with her that would be 2 less containers that she would have to go back to fill up. You must give back in whatever way you can, simple thoughtfulness is very much appreciated❤
To each his own. If that is their form of life, who are we to judge?❤
I'am from Indonesia, i wanna see this tribe. Very rare, never heard before about this
Great story telling
I’m Vietnamese and I didn’t even know these things were a thing. 👀
How is the official record only 11 days for staying awake? I've beaten that multiple times, and have zero sleep issues.
Glad i have a strong stomach... im eating Right now.

Just found this channel and its absolutely incredible
