Creator's Key Takeaways
I don't think that we've ever been to another country on a cruise where when we got off and they dropped us off or even just walking off the port that they had students there who were so willing and um enthusiastic about trying to help people out.
It was a lot better than just us kind of, you know, walking through and looking at things and taking it in, which is nice, but to get the background and context for, you know, why things are the way that they are and why they're here, um it was just really cool.
Well worth the language barrier to come and eat here.
To me is way better having that experience than a knickknack for me to take home.
