There's a place in Asia that's pretty much like this, the name escapes me right now, but they attract millions of tourists annually. I'm not saying this place should become a tourist trap, but it's sure got a lot of potential. Another cool thing about African countries that I love is how the average person speaks 3-4 languages. Thanks for another incredible video bro. Now I want to go visit Ganvie.

Thanks so much Mr. Aina watching all the videos you did in Benin Republic 🇧🇯 really brought a lot of joy to me honestly, because my mum is from there and all her family lived over there, she has no one here in Nigeria except my dad and us (her children) . She visits Benin once in 2 years or more, and we the children barely visit. Seeing this video, men i just want to explore all of benin and get more closure to my families over there too. Thanks So much sir.

Another nice glimpse into a fascinating culture!
