    Nothing better than a wet market! Fresh, fresh, fresh!
    Rice, yum...
    You must touch, smell, color, size, and know how you're going to use it.
    When I'm at my farm in NC, I'll pick starting at 4am! Best time for the freshness and it last longer. Customer satisfaction!
    I get the best in China so, I sell similar quality in America... :-)
    Buy from a local farmer to get your veggies stateside!

      I came to Nanning to attend a university from other area of Guangxi province in 2001, have been living in this city for almost 19 years.
      The first thing I would do after clicking Gweilo60’ videos is that scrolling down to find your comments. I can relate to some of your experience in Nanning in the past 10-20 years.
      I was planning to go to NC to study for my doctorate in the fall. However, I have to defer my admission to spring because of Covid and the travel restrictions.
      Nanning is a great city to live and life here is beginning to return to normal, as you can see from Gweilo60’ videos.

    One of the advantages of the cashless market is that people don't have to touch potentially contaminated paper money.
    I use extra precaution going to the fish market and the meat section in the Southeast asian countries because paper money and coins are held by lots of people. Some sellers hand me the change that got wet with meat blood. Sometimes paper money and coins smell funny because they are contaminated by fishy smell.
    It should be understood that in a wet market, you cannot expect people to have their hands clean all the time. With the introduction of cashless payments, it helps break transmission of potential pathogens.

    For China to get rid of wet market is fine. it is just a matter of changing the way of life. However getting rid of wet market in south east asia is essentially impossible. It is not just as simple as building a supermaket. You will need to establish a modern logistic system, supply chain, sophisticated standard food processing factories. To do this, you will need to put massive investment in infrastructure, high way, truck industry. You don't want your food to be stinky when they arrive in the local supermarket. It is a total revolution.

    Hi Kirk, long time viewer and first time comment on a channel, all new to me :)
    I have a request, could you go into further detail into the wet market prices around your area ?
    I'm English living here in Australia but have a lovely family consisting of Chinese, Vietnamese
    and Philippines mix. We thinking of moving there to Nanning close to Vietnam or to the Philippines.
    The clincher would probably be the availability and cost of fresh seafood and chicken produce.
    Thanx in advance and all the best to you and your family.
    John.

      I also want to figure out why they only sell (80%) the NY hat in those sports store in China. :) Baseball hat is not popular as in Canada in China. Because in Canada I can find many different kind of Baseball hat. I am not fan of baseball. And I find interesting people don’t like tear off the Sparkling tag on those hat.
