Next, we'll dive into the colorful chaos of the wet market (spoiler: it's not that wet), sampling juicy, exotic fruits at their freshest.

But that’s just the beginning. Ask me anything, or just walk in peace and snap some photos.. introverts are more than welcome. So, I’ll share stories, secrets, and hidden corners you won't find on Google, and make sure you leave a little more relaxed. What could go wrong? :)
