And headed up to the jungle on road 14...
...pretty steep
we had to turn of the AC when heading up, to save the energy
This macho man was out guide...

It reminded me of when I was making some commercial in stockholm some years ago...
My friend Youkun was alo joiing the video..
...and we were suppose to make a knife out it this metalig and wooden peice...
...using this over...
They thhought I liked this axe since in "come from a viking country"...they probably watched thor or something..
