This is why I love Youtube. I could have never imagined the daily life of someone like this - videos like these are a reminder of how vast and wonderful the world is. I hope you and your family have a safe and prosperous winter! ❄️❤
I got teary eyes when you said buying fruits and vegetables is a luxury. I live in Bangalore, India where everything is so easily available that we often don’t realise the importance of what we have.❤
A major shoutout to the engineer and construction workers who helped built the city and made it work, despite the harsh cold conditions.
Writing this from central africa and the contrast in temperature and humidity is amazing.
Bro you can't tell me these aren't THE HARDEST people on Earth. These people walk around in -40 like it's nothing. This amazes me.
Seeing you eating raw fish and liver I couldn't help but imagine how diverse eating habits can be. Here in India where temperatures can cross 50°Celsius in summer some meat dishes are cooked on slow fire for over 16 hours after being marinated in 8 to 10 types of spices. I can well imagine the diversity in taste and style of cooking
That canteen meal did seem like great value. Food from different parts of the world is always interesting, thanks for showing us ☺
Couldn’t fathom eating raw, frozen horse liver 🥲. It’s very interesting seeing what’s considering a delicacy in other countries. Loved this video!
native american from michigan here! it was so nice seeing your breakfast, your pancakes are what we call “fry bread” and is a staple food in our communities. there’s a very hard history behind it, as it was the only thing our people had to survive at times.
I am from Hawaii. We are known for our nice weather and scenery. We receive a lot of sunshine and rainfall frequently, so it is easy to grow fruits such as papaya, mango, soursop, lychee, ulu (breadfruit), banana, lilikoi (passion fruit), guava, and coconut. We also grow kalo (taro), sweet potato, ginger, turmeric, cabbage, and watercress. There is a lot of development on the islands, so locally-grown produce is not plentiful and can be expensive. We heavily rely on importation, and imported foods tend to be cheaper, so it is difficult to support local farmers. We also LOVE fish, such as ahi (tuna), uhu (parrotfish), and ao (marlin). Poke is a side dish that includes raw ahi cut into cubes and seasoned with salt, roasted kukui nut (candlenut), limu (an algae), soy sauce, and more. It is delicious! There are also many shoreline fish that are popular. Thank you for your video! Very fascinating to see how those who live in extreme temperatures get and prepare their food!
It is really cool that you are able to speak English and as a result I am able to learn about your culture and homeland, thank you for making the videos!
Living in the USA, being raised as a vegetarian, truly is a luxury. Watching videos like this from other cultures is educational and inspiring. It also reminds me to be grateful and appreciate what I have and respect those who live a different life than mine. Another great video keep up the great work.😊
Fish slices and liver slices for dessert is definitely something different
How amazing! I am Fulani from across the planet in West Africa, my grandmother used to have the same type of wooden whipper to mix milk and yogurt. We are more alike than we are different, no matter where we’re from. ❤
I'm from Vietnam, a tropical country, I can't imagine how cold is it where you are. Your tradition pancakes are similar to the ones my morther used to make. We also have blood sausage but it's made from pig intestine, pig blood and herbs.
It’s crazy to think that people lived here for thousands of years before modern heating or anything else.
YouTube is great because channels like these can show the world how they live. Most of us were never going to visit, anyway! This content is highly educational.
Amazing how meats/fish can be eaten and considered a dessert! Culture is amazing!
It’s so fun seeing where everyone is from in the comment section. I’m from Oklahoma, USA. Everything is so convenient here in many ways. Food wise, I eat very little meat. Mostly beans, rice, eggs, cheese, fruits and vegetables. The people in my state usually eat a lot of steak and ground beef. The diet here is pretty carb and meat heavy. We get well into the 100 degrees (38 c+) I don’t like the cold. I used to live in the mountains and moved away because of the cold. I can’t imagine living in a place like this! I love seeing the differences and appreciating it from afar!
omg i almost cry when you said buying fruits and vegetables is a luxury.i live in macau and all of that is available for everyone so easy. we dont realise the importance of what we have....Your tradition pancakes are similar to the ones my grandmother used to make ,in portugal we say( fatias douradas),then we put,sugar and cinnamon.........This is why I love Your videos. I could have never imagined the daily life of someone like this - videos like these are a reminder of how vast and wonderful the world is. I hope you and your family have a good year....be safe
