climber, this guy just came here in a pretty interesting suit and he's going to climb up there and grab some nuts, you said your dad used to climb up there , you said your My dad used to do that, so I've been toying with the idea of ​​climbing there since I moved here, but wow, okay, don't worry, don't worry, I'm not going to die, oh, here we go , Yeah. would probably kill you I'm fine, he's throwing them there, he's going to knock them all down every

Do you pay him for that? Do you pay him for those 150? Can't you just pay him in coconuts? Okay, thanks, bye, now you'll be a superstar on YouTube, now he's just going to climb another tree, what a job that's his. His leg is almost like it was made for climbing, it even bends a little, yeah, yeah, it's like he's been climbing all his life. Okay, I'll stalk him for a while, he'll investigate the coconut fiber, oh, now there's nowhere to be, oh, yeah. ah you have a bike and that's all awesome, let's see this bike, nice bike, now you're going to get more coconuts on this one, okay, I'll go with you, I'll go with you, yeah, let's see where it goes, something good.

There's no curfew right now and we can see what he's doing, you're keeping it home, no, you're climbing another tree, okay, let's see, I think this bike has seen better days, so I just followed it by the way. and he goes to this house I guess he'll find coconuts here- hey let's see which one he's going to make, what a cool guy, so they didn't really know him, he just goes from house to house when they ask this. one speaks English no while he is good at this so if you are looking what I mean this is me at least maybe I would say it is about 10 meters there soon the coconuts will start raining watch out doggie , this dog is. about to get coconuts thrown at him if he doesn't move I think he's struggling a little with this one, keep in mind he's not using any knives or anything, here we go, I mean there's no way that won't kill you if this one, Well, it's ok.

Now I understand why the locals stay away. I guess I can do a little housebreaking while I'm here. Hello how are you? Speak English. No, no, be careful with the coconuts. I think he has given up. He is going down. Oh, that's great! place I love the way they live here I mean it's so hopeful all these houses together everyone knows each other can you climb a tree? You climb too, can you climb the tree? He's very strong oh, he's getting tired come back down, let's take a look at this thing he wears Can I take a look at this one?

Can I see this one? No, no, this one, yeah, oops, a little bit behind us, keep our distance here. go to the next house, are you more different? Wow, two more, let's follow it, see how many trees it makes, oh, it's to say an outdoor bathroom, cut the toilet. I was wrong, he has a knife in his back, otherwise I can't, here we go, he's going to start. He's raining, watch out, watch out, watch out, well, uh, you actually think you know where he's going to land, but then yeah, then you don't even know if you're not going to eat the coconuts.

I guess you have to do this because it's dangerous for the people who live here this is the tree that keeps on giving there have been at least 20 maybe 30 coconuts and it's still just a bunch up there you're going to come back down good job I guess some Me I wonder if he'll get 150 for Pertwee because that would be quite 150s done, it actually costs less than a dollar, but if he said he was going to do three trees, good job, one more finish, well, back to the bike, ah, look, I have another one, yeah okay that goes to one more for those of us who complain about having to commute, yes I know the commute sucks but imagine having to climb 20-30 trees every day.

I think he's done, let's see if he gets paid or not. Yes that's fine. This guy paid for it too, so I guess it's court, we're done now, we're done, okay, let's go back, bye, thanks, look, climb three trees. I guess that took him a long time, maybe he's been here for 15 minutes, so wow, what an exercise, I guess it's on. one for him, bye, and now we go to the next tree, fortunately I have something with me because I don't think they make much now if they are only allowed to walk for a day, so oh, we were climbing, climbing. trees yeah can you ask him how many tweets?

Hey, can you ask him how many tweets he makes in a day? 40 trees and one tree is 150. He's okay, so he's making a lot of money by working very hard. Yes that is good. I saw it. He was a little tired in the third, he looked bad, he had to take a break, what's the name of his job? Is there a job? A name for the job. So there are people like him that that's all they do. That's his only job. Know? I see it was great to see how he worked. Now, guys, you know what a coconut blocker looks like and we're wondering how many trees we'll climb today. 25 three, you're going to do 15 more.

Wow, you need time because first of all, so not every day for your voice work. Wow, does he ever have a family? How many wives do you have to ask because they especially told me not to ask? Likes? No, well, tell him, thanks for showing it to me, thanks. thank you for showing it to me, I really appreciate it and don't worry, he will be duly rewarded, yes, now I'm going to go beat, yes, yes, I'll see you on the beach, saying goodbye to the empty hotel, empty beach, I'll take it under It's a circumstance Normally this is a busy place.

He's never been here before, but he's probably as dead as this tourism industry has been. The guy who was climbing the coconuts would have happily done so and happily shown me around or I stalked him. and he wasn't expecting anything, he would never have demanded anything to show me around, so just a note for those of you who always obsess over these things, locals in most countries, even in the West, more than happy to show you the surroundings, spend a minute telling them about what you are doing if there is you know doing something or climbing a tree you are like that guy without expecting anything in return so don't be number one don't think that ah well when I travel I want too I want to know people like that but I don't have money to give them well don't get obsessed with it and in the same way there are times when I don't give anything to anyone so you have to remember that many people will say well I should have given them money on the bus, sometimes it can be an insult, you'll have to accept what you feel now that man is climbing 43 years a day and has three kids to feed and all that, so yeah, I mean, I could afford to do it. pass him something and he was very, very happy with it, but every time it's not like that, so it's up to me to judge, you know, in my videos, it's up to you to judge when you're on vacation, etc., and that's it.

Pretty much everything I have to say about it.
