Hello, team, and happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is doing well. I started my day by kickboxing with Tasha so I'm feeling pretty energized. Maybe the fact that the sun is shining outside is also helping. We are having weather that is much to warm for this time of year and , if I ignore my dread at the thought of climate change, it's quite nice.
Ok, let's see what's in my bag of links. Perhaps you'd be curious to see what a Nigerian supermarket looks like and what 1$ gets you? Same for a market? Babatunde reached out to a youtuber doing scambaiting content during the pandemic to talk about why his countrymen resort to pretending to be princes to get your money. He was a teacher but wasn't working due to Covid and was going through a rough patch. Long story short, he got help with starting a Youtube channel and it's quite interesting to see, even if the videos are not the best quality in term of audio or filming.

Babatunde and AtomicShrimp (the guy that got him started with the channel) do collaborations where they each try to cook a recipe with ingredients available to them and the cultural exchange is also quite fascinating. A recent pair:

Speaking of cultural exchange, Uyen's video about her reverse cultural shock when going back to Vietnam was really interesting. I remain convinced i would not survive a trip there:

Or perhaps you'd like to read about some art fraud?
