Revisit a Touristy Coffee Farm: Coffee Time LIVE 16 June 2024

[Music] [Music] [Applause] good morning and welcome back to the channel Grand Columbia and welcome to another coffee time live and I'm feeling a bit undressed so let's put on the hat only wear it for this but it's a it's a really nice hat love the hat I just don't wear hats all right so today going to be a little bit different I'm going to talk um about what Pisa is it seems there's a lot of misunderstanding but that's not my main topic although it could have been um I'm going to talk about something that really kind of struck me this week when I went to U uh took some people to a coffee Farm that's kind of set up for for tourists and I've got a bit of a history with the place and while I was there I had one take and then by the time I left I had a very different take about a place that I've been to many times so we're going to talk about that I have no no news topics because they're all boring as hell there wasn't anything interesting um I don't know we just don't have enough news I mean there was you know you got some deaths and you had the L Nas gang a gang of females that have been extorting uh farmers at 100,000 200,000 a pop um but yeah it just wasn't very interesting you know criminals criminals caught people died you know it's life okay so um what's going on rain L has been doing its thing we've been getting rain and rain and rain now we've had some beautiful mornings don't get me wrong but instead of waiting till 2: 3 in the afternoon or into the evening it's been hitting us around noon 1 2:00 uh one day we had pretty good downpour that went on for a couple hours which is not really common so and yesterday I had to go to p and it was torrential downpour around 4 five o'clock but what was nice is that I approached armania the clouds started to clear and by the time I got into armania the roads were actually dry so you know over the course of a few miles was a drastic change so that was that was pretty cool let's take a look I think our weather cam has turned into a traffic cam today but good enough I'm looking at a lot of overcast clouds kind of cool Sunday lot of traffic okay um right now temperatur is about 70° we have a high of about 75 a low of about 63 come 5 or 6:00 in the morning and the peso actually changed when I first set this up this morning it was at 4151 and now it's at 4135 and from last week I think we're about 330 pesos difference which if you add that up over the course of $1,000 that's about a $80 increase give or take so that's it's always cool when U you see that number get larger and it's larger just because um with our wonderful beloved president that we all just adore and worship um he's created a kind of a debt that isn't typical and it scared some investors so the peso gets weaker and and so here we are okay let's see um great outside what the hell is that that's my note oh okay coffee meeting went to Annie's again which is in the orb building complex on the first floor which is on centenario if you know where that is and it's almost across the street from container City just down the street the equivalent of about a half a block very nice place and uh some new people showed up last week and again this week so it's very cool um one we got engrossed in a conversation because we had a couple things from our past in common including some military things and um I gave him a ride home he had me he bought a place here some years ago but he only comes to visit now and then so he went up take a look at his place and he had a couple rooms were just packed full of boxes that hadn't been opened but um he's he's he complet completely redesigned um the place himself took out a wall it's really nice looking it's near the uh portelo Mall um let's see oh yeah back to Annie's it's a great location I think we're going to be there the next couple weeks I think he said and there's actually an outdoor patio maybe next week um I I got there before anybody and I chose inside but if that happens next week I'm going to see if we can sit outside it looks if the weather is halfway decent it looks very nice out there um so there's that the car has been running great uh I do get I I have a check engine light I'm gonna they're going to take care of that it I don't think it's anything serious but um I'm getting reasonable gas mileage with it considering I call it the black elephant elephante Negra it's um cuz it's it's pretty massive you know in the US maybe not so much but when you're driving around here like yesterday in pada and some of the streets I was in and parking spaces are made for little cars and uh it's it you actually have to find one because I barely fit in the yellow lines and that's if you if you manage to park perfectly but then you still have to kind of figure out how to open open the doors yeah so it's a it's a it's a thing here um but if you're here and you want to hire me for a car service to go visit to something I'm up for hire um but I can't see myself as a daily driver let's see this week I went to BU of Vista I think I got a photo here somewhere where is it there that was um having lunch and most everything is open to the outside as was this and um that was a view from the outside gorgeous place I've done a one or two videos on it um so I didn't do one this time because it pretty much the same as the last time I did videos I will tell you one of the reasons I went there is I wanted to go check out the San Alberto Cafe that's the the world's number one coffee last year and set up a time to maybe tour do a video of that particular coffee Farm well there was nobody there uh to do that but we walked down and said okay well we'll go down I'll get a mochaccino and there were three people with me so we get down there no cappuccinos no moch inos where you have any juices I'm looking at the menu who goes juices no we don't have any um hot chocolate you have any hot chocolate no we don't have any hot chocolate all they had was basically a pot of coffee like at a truck stop what's going on I mean this was this was a holiday um last Monday very busy and they had coffee so you know it wasn't like they didn't they ran out of coffee it was all pretty weird they you know the people working there didn't really want to explain they're just they're just kind of laughing about it I mean not at us in particular it's not like uh you know some of you jump to the conclusion well it's a gringo thing well the people with me weren't um I was the only one that spoke any English and the people behind me were definitely Colombians and they got the same thing so it was you know it was a touch disappointing but it it doesn't matter you go to bu be so you can't help but smile anyway um let's see let's take a look at the let's take a look at the chats uh make sure you tell me if you can hear me okay I'm always concerned Juka thank you for the contribution I appreciate it and greetings from Finland how are you Mr Rob good morning for Fort Lauderdale 326 days when last we 322 I can't keep track Turtle good morning earthlings from beautiful downtown sooro I think he's probably cheerful when he sees the the U peso get better for us um I know he's been a little worried about it but you just got to go for the ride you know you can't get upset about these things uh you can't really Panic it's going to go up it's going to go down the it's just how it is and it's very difficult to predict when you get an immediate jump like we had last week you can actually pinpoint it but it's never a single factor it's always a multiple array of things what's going on in the US isn't helping you know the amount of debt it's not helping us it's certainly helping countries like Colombia uh Charles Wes thisas from New York City how you doing back in in Columbia this Friday awesome Mr Mike Jarvis how you doing good morning we got to get together again Charles getting nervous one one not sure what that is one ya um nothing to get nervous about it's awesome Place Renee how are you doing hello from Brussels the capital of the world right right Charles oh here we go one year to final move trying to sell all my things to figure out what I can bring yeah that's uh took me three months I had already sold my house a couple years prior and I was living in an apartment but I still had I had way too much stuff and whittling it down it it I all I could tell you don't try to do it all at once kind of categorize and it I laid out I decided to come down in two big suitcases so I bought brand new top-of-the-line Samsungs they were hundreds of dollars each but they're awesome I still have them they're like brand new and they would zip and expand and these were the largest that you could put on an airline so I got those two and um set them aside and I started laying out you know what what's important to me a Shu knife definitely important what about the all the knives I don't really need all the knives uh books that hard books are the hardest thing you know I got basically a house library and even books even books that I hadn't read didn't necessarily get priority over books that I have read but absolutely loved and just wanted to kind of keep them with me so that it was really a process almost all the books I had I had read but I kept them for a reason you know I I just liked them around and I would reread once in a while or refer to a fair amount of my books were uh somewhat technical so that was difficult took me a long time to wh it down to eight or 10 books that I finally came down with cuz books are really heavy uh clothes no big deal you know I brought down a whole bunch of black t-shirts and some black BL uh black blue jeans black jeans and uh good to go there um some uh half ankle motorcycle boots and um a pair of shoes so anything else I got you know since I've been down here but um yeah it's it's hard to let go but it's it's awesome once you do uh Michael good morning from Los Angeles how are you doing um I hope your favorite restaurant hasn't closed down on you Mr SII please GM from Seattle good morning in case of emergency good morning all heading to a b terminal in Armenia in a few minutes movers arrive tomorrow nice Libby good morning raining here in quka now too all night mostly likely too temperature is 55 yeah it kind of gets pretty cool in in quka it's not it's not quite what they advertise but you know they say well it's Spring weather but if you think about it spring where I mean spring Upstate New York or Maine um that can mean 40° so Sebastian when are you coming back here we go Chicago is the best city in the world summer is great Florida is underwater and 10 hurricanes on their way and most USA is under Fire next seven days well that's a way to look at it this is Charlie congrats on the car if you get a chance look into a rearview mirror dash cam usually comes with a rear cam easy way to capture b-roll for your videos as well as little extra security yeah I have I just can't um I can't swing it right now my old um version 5 uh GoPro I've got uh I'm setting it up to put up on the dash going forward and so I'll use it for that um Judy good morning all and can hear you fine I hope so you know it's sometimes I'll go through these things and find out five minutes later that uh there was a problem Mr Ben Lake good morning from your South he's nebor he's my neighbor in the building next door it's probably got 30 feet between us uh let see Joel good morning from medene how you doing Mark hello from near alala how are you doing uh let's see Libby I have too much stuff it's scares me I love to keep my books most of them I did not ever read yet clothes no problem to get rid of can get them cheap in Columbia most of it but it's very hard yeah it it's it's tough it's tough sorting things out worst part is my two dogs when moving will save some money when in the US I hope all right let's get to um let's get to our first sort of topic this was kind of a last minute thing I just grabbed some photos and threw it together but um it occurred to me this week in talking to a few people that Pisa is kind of a misunderstood thing they think first of all it's the people Imaging and well that may be true it's it isn't really uh first of all Paisa is is kind of an a bridge version of the word Pisano uh it's country folk countrymen um the Pisano there's a country folk and they come from a group of people that came to Colombia out of the um Bosque region near um between Portugal Spain you got that um the Bosque region where um the people are just kind of quirky they almost speak their own language uh they have different foods well they settled here and pises of today they're of a mixed race but genetically they're from the you know those original people that came from Spain um so let's see let me show you got I drew up a quick on a map this is generalized because people kind of move around and so it's not necessarily encapsulated but basically it runs from around medine to around C and it includes areas of ralda which is p is in um Calis which is manalus is in and so that's the you and medine all points you know between me and them and so that's the the general region and again there's overflow kind of goes off into different things but um that's my map you'll probably see different Maps you know show kind of a broader thing when you say Paisa what do most people think of they think of this this kind of a famous dish Benda Paisa and if you look here you got beans you got ground beef you got chiso that sausage you got um eggs white thing at the bottom that brown thing that kind of Curves that's U plantain You Got Rice under there you got cheich your own kind of a slab of bacon crispy fried and then you got that round ball looking thing that's a bit crusty on the top let's see here here we go right up there that's an an AA that's it's how they were here they weren't those cardboard things and these are quite tasty they're kind of uh uh moist and soft inside put butter on them or put a piece of cut them in half put a piece of cheese on them they're steaming hot um you know quite good sadly people that come here they think of uh aapas as something that's tastes like cardboard because a lot of the stuff they throw out there came from some Factory and it tastes like cardboard so they say BHA Pisa but that's not what pisas means it's just kind of a popular food dish but there's a reason you look at this thing reminds you kind of almost of English breakfast you got uh you know three meat items you've got a couple carb items three carb items you got the avocado Agate this is what this is what would be a very hearty meal by any standards you generally if you get if you get a traditional one you I can't eat it all I it for me it'll be dinner that night or even the next day um it's a lot of food and it reminds me of the the Amish the Amish have a very fattening diet they use uh lard in their pies and I mean they don't scrimp because it's all about calories because they spend all their time out working in the fields they need those calories you know they might pack away in one meal 5,000 calories but they're burning them up uh you don't see fat Amish well it was the same here so this was a traditional dish and that was the reason why they're going to be out and they need to eat but some of the characteristics all these towns that you see all this painted decoration that's a Pisa culture thing that's not a Colombia in general that's a Pisa culture now it is spread but when you go to I think this is in medine it's I mean um um oh help me help me help me help me hardine I think this is hardine um it's there it's in salento it's in fandia it's you see it in a lot of towns in the Paisa region and I chose this particular photo because you see horses because that's a characteristic you'll see people riding horses in out in the country or in these towns it's not for show It's Not For Tourists it's because it's what they do and and uh you'll see horses pulling wagons it's you know that's the culture of of Paisa another iconic image that represents Paisa is the Willies Jeep uh this picture I took I think almost eight years ago but uh Willie's Jeep is is it it's it's as Colombian as apple pie is to the 4th of July U Willie's Jeep says it all if you if you want to pick up girls buy yourself a Willie's Jeep it's like a chick magnet and a Colombian tell me that um but it's true if you ask every girl you know it's like what do you think of that think oh my God yeah okay um again here very colorful that's that's that's a pip a thing and there's a certain look right here is very typical uh Paisa now it isn't necessarily always a Colombian flag uh colors but it's something along these lines it'll be a scarf uh very often just kind of draped over the shoulder or a poncho it'll be a hat of this design very lightweight uh kind of keep the sun off but not cause your head to uh to sweat this is a working man's outfit this is a guy who would you know go pick coffee beans um it's it's all about working on the farms in the fields picking coffee uh milking the cows it's that's that's what Paisa is all about um they have it's become more homogenized but they have kind of a distinctive language they'll have certain words but they come in Pockets remember we're in the Andes and so we get these pockets and whereas today because of Internet because of travel it's really homogenized but if you go back when I was here before go back even 20 years ago and further you would have pisas and medine not understand words that pisas in in Pera were using because it'd be so isolated um but they also have a very distinct way of talking and to me it's it's it's whining so if you hear that that rhythmic whining you're hearing in particular females that's that's Paisa origin everything about Paisa is awesome but that kind of that kind of drives me nuts all right we got some more uh comments here let's see uh Ben L home of BBVA BBVA okay isn't that a bank um Charles you have big solar setup here we'll need to get rid of have not seen solar power stuff in Colombia would be great when they cut the electric know of any reasonable companies there no I don't know anything about it but they have solar here um I don't think they're big on the windmills but uh I see solar panels now and then check out blessa for solar um yes Mark thank you I I know nothing about it because I don't care um doesn't it doesn't affect me but whatever you have in the US it's likely you're going to see here this isn't as backwards as people want to make it out to be although they can't they can't design a website that works for the life of them all right so let's get to the this main topic here and try something new today let's see is it going to work where is it I'm looking I'm looking going I accidentally delete it let's hope not pained B here we go why is it not showing up this is weird it was working this morning right let's see let let me turn this off there we go there we go okay I mentioned I took this picture um seven or eight years ago but if you notice to the right it says rayuka this is a coffee Farm that's right near Armenia uh kind of need a car to get to it but um they they do tours and seven or eight years ago when I went there it was it was free it was family members uh one of them we we talked in the front a friend of mine took me there somebody I've known for 20 some years and he took me there and I met some of the family uh they made me some coffee we sat around I didn't understand a word anybody was saying but then they cook me up on a little tour of the place and it was pretty cool and they processed the coffee there um that was 7 or8 years ago then I went the next time I went was um I think it was 2019 and at that Char time they were charging a small fee and you know made sense and there were more people and I started seeing advertising like in the mall you'd see on these um flat screens I saw advertising for the place then Co hit and I went during Co and uh during Co they they're doing the mask and all the separation all that kind of nonsense but the fee had increased of course but now they had um an actual cashier station um got a photo of it here somewhere don't know where it is nothing's going to be in order all right we'll stop here for a minute um so that was the extent of it I don't remember the amount well I went again and I went a couple times in between I don't remember those were particular points that I I remember um last week I went and I took uh three people with me so we pull into the parking lot which you can see here and there was a fee to park and that kind of really surpris me because I was thinking of something else if I'm not concentrating I don't get what people are saying and he was trying to hey charging you what why you know I'm parking I'm coming in here I'm going to pay well parking fees so you got people watching the parking lot it wasn't a lot it was 5,000 pesos a dollar quarter and whatever but it was a surprise so that was something new so then I get to the the Turn Style and um the fee was kind of kind of considerable um yeah there's parking you actually see my car back there but if you looked hard uh those my my guests that I took to check it out and there's our iconic Willies Jeep photo op they have these little concrete animals now that didn't exist before and here you have this uh little maze and you got the cashier window and so I paid um you know for the entrance fee uh I think it was 45,000 a person and 5,000 a Parks it's you know it's not bad but then if I wanted a bilingual um guide it was a for 45,000 more but the bilingual guide would would only speak in English he would not repeat it in Spanish so then it would be for me not the three of them well I've already been there I knew everything that was going to be said plus I understand you know maybe half of what people say and so I said well it doesn't make sense but that surprised me too I mean it's like it it started to feel like we're getting nicked and dimed here it's very touristy there was a million people there you saw the parking lot was basically full um and then at the end it reminds you of amusement parks where at the end you go to this this place it's like the end of your tour and they have this room open open walls of course with benches attached to the ground um like um like baseball benches you know out on the field they're attached to the ground and you sit there and they have big screen and they start going through photos and you don't know I don't know where the camera was didn't know about it but they have photos and you can pick out the photo of you and and buy the photo which I I've noticed is actually becoming a popular thing in Colombia but I was just reflecting that you know in 2017 I think was the first time I went it was basically free and then you know there was a small admission charge then it was a you know a bigger fee and it was a little more formal and then um you know we started adding on all these extras so I have to tell you at first it it felt a little annoying you know I would prefer it just be one fee but you know all these chairs those thing didn't exist before and as the day went on these things actually filled up with groups of people our group had probably 40 people in it that was a a bit of a shock to me yeah that's that's the group and behind us there was another group not far behind but I want to point out you see this walkway with nice railing everything was kept up well if you if I I I thought I had a picture somewhere of the walkway every every other diagonal block of of that concrete has uh their name and logo in it um there's a couple additions there's a tower a viewing Tower that's uh pretty substantial thing it's it's it's about the size of that patio you can see in the upper middle of this picture but it it kind of goes up and it's got stairs that kind of kind of wind around go up um a lot of in infrastructure was invested into this place and this thing although this has been there for um I think I think I probably first saw it around 2019 I don't think either I just they never showed me or didn't exist um back in my first visit I'm guessing it probably didn't exist and I think what they're trying to do is create a value added and I have a video somewhere about this place that actually shows a lot more detail but this thing goes on the length of this building inside and it's all animated you have all these little cars running around the track you got little people moving and picking the coffee and it's it's like a scene and then another scene another scene you know picking the coffee and processing the coffee and bagging up the coffee and all of that it's um it's it's pretty awesome it's it's it's a highlight actually and um you I'm sure I'm sure it's in the the video I took of this in the in the past be worth digging it up you know you got a little cow walking around with somebody behind them right there uh this was another walkway I remember this one this was kind of a muddy path and it's all a nice concrete now and some of it it was kind of up and down and some of these walkways are they were leveled out also so it's a lot it's a lot easier it's a lot friendlier to walk on these things uh there was nothing really to have to really hike up and you you know you're on the side of a mountain the way it was originally you know there were probably people that it it was a little much for them maybe they wouldn't go they they've accommodated that and something else I want to say about this is let's see there we go um I had it working perfect this morning I don't know why it's acting up now but um something else that's added to this it's a formalized tour now before I was just kind of walking through in conversational even on the video that I took it was just me and another person and walking through and he spoke English most people there seem to speak a little English and which is surprising but we're walking through and they pointed out certain things well now on this on this tour it's formalized they have these stations and they talk about the origin of coffee and uh then different plants and how they grow them from Little Sprouts and and so they kind of walk you through the whole thing it's it's very well done it's some information about coffee is anecdotal nobody knows for sure certain things but I noticed that they were very careful about selecting the most likely um example so I appreciated that and they in infused a lot of humor and a fair amount of audience participation I could say I got picked on a little bit about being the Americano you know um it was humor it was done in all in good fun thankfully because I understood what he was doing otherwi if I didn't know I would think I was being mocked you know but that wasn't the case and I wasn't the only one that they would kind of kind of Select and and go back to but um it was all very well done and so at the end where I felt I almost I hate to say that I felt like resentful like I was being nickel and dimed like I said earlier but by the time this was done and I saw how much they' put into this how much they've invested and I saw this around covid where a lot of the groundwork of this is done and portions of it was done now the thing is built out I don't know if there's any more that they need to do uh there there's one project I saw I didn't go over there and I think that's a future thing but it's so well done there's a lot of expense there and they had a lot of employees they probably on any given day I'll bet you they have 20 or 30 employees there directly related to this operation I don't mean the people out picking the coffee but this this touristy kind of uh thing and and the other thing is it is actually a working coffee farm so everything about it was real it was authentic it was just done in a way to be more organized more comfortable and be more informative it was it was very informative if if you only know somewhat about coffee I mean I've been studying now for a couple years so I I I knew everything he was talking about and a lot of you probably would also but if if you've never really kind of you know picked up a book on it or or really done much research you just like your coffee you would get a ton out of it there's a lot of good information um and so I changed my those feelings and I felt kind of embarrassed for even thinking or feeling that way there's a lot of value for for the money and for everything that they've invested for all the people that they have there to try to you know make it a good experience for people you know I can almost feel ashamed for feeling like they were nitpicking the only thing if I were to advise them make it make it a one price because you the only reason I felt that way is because I was kind of nickel and dime you know can you pay for Park pay for this pay for that pay for this and it's like just make it one price and that's it um they they had things like The Wristband you know you put the wristband on that relatively new you know so they're trying to make it like a like a theme park and they're trying to grow it I'm sure they have visions and I appreciate that too people that want to U you know grow and progress and create this little Empire and they and they're and they're doing it now I will say about the coffee I've said this all the time you can't get bad coffee and cillo however on the scheme of amazing coffees that we get to drink every day in that bucket of amazing coffees they're very average now they they would be superior to a lot of coffees in general and of course when I say that so much of that is subjective but um objectively Can Deo coffees are pretty Superior when you have the top 10 four of them in the world are out of this little Department of candal I mean what are the odds that's so we have amazing coffee here and there's reasons it's not like it's not an accent there's particular reasons for it um but this it didn't blow me away but it was good coffee and so they they give you coffee uh give you little sample cups you can get small medium or large they didn't charge you for that um so you could you could actually have all the coffee you wanted I'm guessing um at times they have shows it wasn't when we were there I don't know what the sched would be for that I didn't ask cuz I didn't care but they'll have women dressed up in the traditional uh fluffy white and colorful outfits doing some traditional dances and they'll have guys there with uh horse whips that you know dancing around and I Saw V some video clips of it so and there's other things that I notice but having never seen them I don't know but there's there's more to it even than what I said so my feeling now is that's probably a great if you're going to come here and visit one coffee farm and I've been to a number of them but I would say that might be the one to go to because it's very educational you're going to see most aspects of coffee they're even into the natural and washed and uh you know different things they talk about Tabby beans and so they're into some of the things are considered more Progressive in coffee uh growing now you know the fermenting so the all of that is there but you get to walk on relatively comfortable walkways and you're not stepping in mud puddles and you're not climbing any Hills and you know when you're doing a tour for a couple hours you don't really need that stuff now a lot of these coffee Farms that's what you're going to get so if you're more hardcore there's that but I think this is a great place to go even though you could say it's touristy it's touristy for a reason it's because they put together something that's really nice it's it's really good it's very educational a lot of humor um you know so yeah my feelings about completely flipped all right let's see what uh we got a bunch of comments here let's see where we're at let's say good morning Dallas Texas you look great I don't know who you're talking to but oh and capitalism comes to Ruka yeah I can't remember the cuka and rayuka there's a meaning and it's kind of like a dirty joke it's like a dual meaning and and what you find on the internet is not that um but I don't remember it was they told me way back when it was more family kind of thing and and it's their tongue and cheek joke and I just don't remember if any of you know let me know uh I actually wanted to ask last time but these were all they were all just employees that just weren't weren't part of that so uh good morning Happy Father's Day thank you I had a really nice really I won't read it but it was the sweetest thing that was um given to me um that um almost had me choked up it was it was so so awesome uh went to a water park in M was like that nice but 6 to 700,000 for five people entrance food and beer yeah yeah some of these things can be but you know it's it's it's the way of the world and sometimes you're going to go to these and it's like I'm disappointed what did I get for my money and then you go to play like you go to the Coffee Park here it's an amusement park but it's more than that it's a coffee theme park they have shows and there's a lot of different things going on if you don't want to ride one of their I think seven roller coasters of different types um there's other things that you can do you know if you're I don't know I'm 70 but I don't feel that generally I go there I going to take the roller coaster I don't like roller coasters much anymore but I get on the roller coaster I'm fine I mean I was a pilot so all the loop-de-loops they don't bother me it's not like I'm going to throw up uh they just bore me but if you're not into that uh if your if your metabolism is even slower than than mine then you know you can go sit down and watch uh some of these shows I remember I went to this one it was about orchids that was it was pretty awesome but it's not like one there's different things it's a it's a large Park it's also got some areas where you can kind of walk through and see some uh original coffee processing equipment and like little museums and uh h and models and you know so there there's a lot of things going on there including some restaurants so it's well worth going and the money for it which I don't remember now I'm thinking it might be 880,000 pesos something like that I I think it's a bargain for you know for what's there um it was there 20 some years ago when I lived here nowhere near to the extent of what it is now but um it was there and it was pretty awesome back then so don't be afraid of tourist you know people say oh I don't want to do that as tourist well think of it this way it's tourists for a reason and if you don't do that you're missing out on why that became touristy there's something special about that which is what caused it to become touristy I've said this in the past but I I think it's I keep hearing it and I think it's a good reminder you know it's like I want to be authentic so I want to see everything authentic as it is I don't want to see touristy where you know it's make believe well they're not Disney here that coffee Farm it's not make believe it's all it's all real it's just done for your convenience for your comfort uh the coffee Park yeah you got all these r and things because hey it's fun especially you know you're a teenager skipping school and you know you're out riding the roller coasters all day it doesn't get much better than that right um but there's there's reasons these are popular and and I highly recommend you don't skip these things and if you're just out for things that I've lived past out for the adventure I mean I've had these things in my life you want to go hang gliding if you want to go uh what do you call it uh ring the zipline you know across the canion that's you look down it's like 2,000 ft down to the bottom uh you want to go bungee jumping all that stuff is here it's not me anymore it was I I've done those things I mean I used to jump out of airplanes I used to fly airplanes you know my best friend was an acrobat pilot and uh we'd fly together a lot and never threw up but yeah gets challenging so I've done those I'm not there anymore but if you are it's here also and if you want to go hangliding you're going to probably F find other tourists there that doesn't take away from it being hangliding fun you know it's just how are they going to stay in business if they don't get more people to come come you know there that's what keeps it going for the next year and the next year uh so take out of your mind this idea I don't want to go see something because there might be tourists there and go see them they're cool they're highlights they're awesome all right we got any uh I know I get preachy don't I and shut the hell up and I saw a bunch of people drop off because uh you know who likes getting preached at but if you got any comments if you have any questions say it now because we're coming to an end hold on just a second [Music] here here's your
