      “Through examining the etymology, the similar sounding name strongly suggests that indeed acar was derived from Indian achar pickle. Indian achar was transmitted in antiquity to the maritime realm of Southeast Asia, which today recognized as acar in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and then on to the Philippines as atchara. The adoption of this vegetable pickling technique possibly took place during the Srivijaya period between 7th to 13th century.”

      When I was in Indo those little warung in Jakarta could be really good, but I always had to look at the cook's hands very closely, soap was taxed heavily and it's common that lower income people didn't have much if at all, and long nails could be considered fashionable, long dirty nails meant move on.

I ate from this one restaurant and they were outside giving out samples, and Lord knows I am glad they did. One of my favorite restaurants til this day. Maybe they should do that instead of having a group of ppl outside trying to get you to come in. Let me have a taste test first! LOL!

    Nepal was my first trip overseas because my Nepalese friend was getting married. I went for a month and stayed in a few different places, but our hub was in Kathmandu on one of the main streets where we stayed with my friends parents.
    Nepal is an incredible country, very lovely people - but I suspect my experience was a bit different as I was with a local and his family are quite well known. We rarely got hassled for tour guides/taxis etc cos people could see we were with a Nepalese person.
    We got to see the best local known places for really good prices, and when we went to Thamel which is tourist spot we knew what places to avoid.
    I’m very lucky for the experience I had, but man if you can travel Nepal with someone who speaks local language your experience is enhanced ten fold.
    The people are incredibly friendly, we found ourselves travelling through cities (like in the old city district in Bhaktapur) and asking people if we could see into their homes. Multiple times people just let us in and walked us through and let us ask questions.
    We always gave people money to show thanks, or gave them a gift of some kind as I understand money can be a bit rude. People more often than not just were happy to speak to us.
    Beautiful country.

    I've been a chef for so many years. I've learned, no matter your culture or your environment. Food is life. Good food is a happy life. Food is a universal language, and I love to enjoy every aspect of it. I would love nothing less than to spend a day or a week, cooking with these people that know what truly matters in life. We can certainly teach each other. I wish to run a food truck, so I can bring these ideas to people. Thank you for reigniting the passion I have for food.

Sadly, Westerners who come from parts of the world you & I are from, are only aware of the tourist traps & miss the authentic people, the real people, who make the places around the world so unique. I wonder how many of your videos have helped businesses you visit profit well from increased business. Enjoy all the food, because food puts a smile on our face & a hug in our stomachs.

    A great advice to anyone visiting Nepal :
    Don't go to fancy and expensive restaurants and cafe for eating pizza, burger and foods you usually eat in your country.
    Instead, try to go to local and cheap restaurants to eat Nepali foods. They are so unique and delicious that you will feel lucky to try those foods at least once in your life. You will enjoy Nepali foods for sure.
    Not only Nepal, whenever you visit other countries, try their local foods and items. Enjoy their culture.😊

    I like that they have a sign in MANY different languages. That makes me think they are considerate and smart. Sometimes when you go to a restaurant its not the restaurant itself that is bad. Sometimes its just the employee who is trying to hustle, or just doesn't really give a fk or doesn't have the right outlook. I went back to a Chinese restaurant I haven't been to in about 10 years and it was under new ownership. The Chicken Balls were amazing this last time I went. Which caused me to go back lol. Before under the old ownership the chicken balls were terrible and you/we only got about 7-8 of them. This time or the same price, 20+ and amazing.

      Tourism has been closed in NZ for 2-years now since the beginning of COVID (it's still closed). There's not much to cover in the way of tourist scams & traps. The Govt. pays you money if you don't have a job, so no need to go out and scam.
