      How are you doing? I've been reading in the news and from my Chilean family about the social unrest, the destruction and sacking of businesses and of the subway at the hands of socialist thugs, and the turmoil, I hope you and your close ones are safe and that your business is doing okay. Love your content, salutes from Panama.

    My dear French Whisperer! I'm watching a show called "The Americans" there's a scene where a character is listening to your ASMR! Amazing! Season 4 Episode 1. You should be reimbursed for using your ASMR. Now I'm happy I've tried to watch this as it is not my taste in shows. You're speaking about railrodes & Agatha Christie's Muder on the Orient Express etc. Has anyone told you this??? All my love. 😘😘😘

    One factual correction, though: There is still a spice that is worth its weight in gold -- saffron. At least in the USA, saffron costs more than an equivalent weight of 24k gold. Of course, saffron is extremely lightweight, so it is still affordable for most people if they really need it for a recipe.

    It will be the most peaceful ☮️ and calm place in the world and we can make extra islands for tourists who need the best relaxing get away. But yes we build those islands so they don’t accidentally poison our paradise.
