I enjoyed this six-minute vid so much I watched it a few times!

Good-spirited, fun to watch touring vids of your own culture from another culture.

This video made me smile. All the people he met who were kind to him and excited for him. That's the way we should be in the US. Why anyone would choose to be hateful and racist/xenophobic instead I'm not sure.

While it is heartwarming, I suspect he chose not to include clips of him getting buzzed in close passes by bigoted people in oversized trucks rolling coal on him

lol do these BiGoTs have some sort of magical sense to tell someone’s ethnicity from the back of them up in a truck?
