The Amazon's Weirdest Village 🇵🇪

[@fongsbasement]

The Peruvian transportation industry is fueled by repeating top tier cinematic masterpieces. On my 20 hour bus ride from Arequipa to Cusco I was blessed with watching Paul Blart mall cop 2 on repeat. I really felt like I was missing context from the first Paul Blart film, but after the third watch I truly was able to appreciate it for the masterpiece that it is.

[@Alsatiagent]

What do the proprietors have against silence? I'd rather hear the drone of an engine. Do the locals actually watch these movies in the middle of the night?

[@MrLoretano77]

In 1993 i took a bus from Cusco to Arequipa through the night. We saw robocop, Karate Kid 3 and a Mexican Sexy Comedy and 5 minutes into the Mexican film. The tv sparked and fried. The bus driver wasn't even phased lol. Then he told me he was in the Shining Path and wanted to kill Fujimouri but that is another story lol

[@rogink]

Never mind Peru. Back in the 80s/90s as a student I used to take long coach journeys across the UK - 8-9 hours - and we were treated to such delights as National Lampoon's Vacation. These were the days before noise cancelling headphones. So it was brutal.

As a bilingual I sometimes catch myself struggling to figure out if he understands what people are saying or not. Like when he says “I know I know” . Because part of my brain just translates to try and guess what he would have said in English. Regardless it’s admirable that he is so good at Spanish and russian and who knows how many other languages. And accents are always way harder for learners to understand. So even if he speaks pansies he might not understand the Amazonian accents

Suggestion: Idk how's your schedule after Venezuela, but since you're in the Amazon, you could take a boat to the Brazilian Amazon and stop by Manaus and Santarém. Alternatively, coming from Venezuela, you could enter Brazil by its northenmost state and you can even climb the insanely beautiful Roraima Mount (that square mountain that inspired the movie "Up" and has the highest waterfall in the world). But anyway, south of Santarém, there is a ghost town in the middle of freaking nowhere. It's called Fordland, and it's where Henry Ford himself sent his men and machinery to build an utopian american city in the middle of the Amazon in order to extract rubber for his car's tires. And boy, did it go wrong! It's a pretty eerie place with a fantastic and unknown history. The lack of good content about this city is criminal, you should 100% go there. I'm a tour guide in Santarém and I've been to Fordland a few times. Let me know if you need any info! Greetings from the Brazilian Amazon!

I find myself often envious of some of these villages and the life people live there… I imagine it can be incredibly challenging and isolating but everyone seems so happy and well connected with nature. I am definitely jaded with western civilization and would love to live off the grid for a period of time but due to several severe chronic illnesses where I do need medication and such.

[@wspek]

No offence, but...are you sure the chronic illnesses are not related to the western civilization?

Yours is the one KZbin video I won't immediately binge after getting the notification, instead I'll wait until I'm home, grab a beer, fire up the home cinema and vanish into your world. Thanks for creating this wonderful content for us!

I am envious of your zeal, your gift for gab in so many languages and your boldness in how you approach travel - unafraid, unintimdated and able to approach and converse with the locals in such an open and friendly manner. You are enjoying life in a way I could never do - such a treat to see a side of life many of us would not, and could not experience. Cheers, mate!

[@f.m5473]

As a Spanish speaking person. Bald Spanish is epic. For example when he said " Capitan cincuenta cincuenta con el" thats honor code. He gave the Captain the whole tip and made sure he used those word and pointed at the Co-Captain. He was watching the whole time. There will be no issues at all. The word is word. Is all how he made sure he added that statement and the tone. If he had used the wrong language and tone they would be all kinds of issues. Not necessarily for amount etc but for principle. Thats master Spanish speaking. Bald another dope video. thanks
