| 0:05.4 | Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. |
| 0:08.2 | It's like pure corruption. |
| 0:10.5 | And you need to go do that within 48 hours of arriving. |
| 0:13.8 | And if you don't, they like crush you when you leave. |
| 0:18.5 | And you pay like another hundred bucks for that. |
| 0:20.2 | And then to get permits to film, which is like really challenging, um, you pay a ton for that. And then it doesn't work all the time. So like you go to another thing and you need to get another permit. So I probably ended up getting like five permits. Yeah. To be able to film. I could see you just showing up and then just like filming. you'd have people being like, oh, white guy filming. I can just walk up to him and be like, oh, if you want to keep filming, you got to pay me a couple hundred bucks or something. Right. But it's, but it's all like, uh, bureaucratic. So like a random guy isn't going to stop you and be like you need a, he might, but like that guy's |

I know there's sort of like back pay sometimes. Like, the employees of the government are always getting paid regularly from what I've heard. But then one time a guy, like, we got stopped at night and a guy rolled down the window and he saw me and he just leaned in and he went. |
| 1:51.3 | And then my friend just drove away and it didn't matter. |
| 1:57.1 | Like we just drove off. |
| 2:00.0 | They see an American tourist |
| 2:01.4 | that's rare like I gotta at least try |
| 2:03.2 | yeah I would |
| 2:04.1 | yeah yeah |
| 2:04.9 | and we just |
| 2:06.2 | I might try that show |
