So many different varieties of hats. You got every major sporting team in the United States
16:04
Then we have these black ones here. And I like it because they have black ones. Plain
16:10
See my plain. All right, you know what? Let me try it on
16:15
He said 200, but give it to me for 180. I mean, it's a little tight
16:21
I don't know. It doesn't fit me that good. This should be nice. Snapbacks, right? I can't think of it
16:29
So you like it? Yes. How do I look? You look great
16:34
I mean, what's this? What's this? Regular one? No, this regular one is less than you
16:42
Oh, I got Carlos this hat. So, 150, no? 150. Yeah, of course, of course
16:50
If you don't have change, what are we doing here? At the market
16:55

17:00
Hat heaven. Look at this. Yes. Look at your eyes. Hey, just balls, right? Pellets. Pellets

17:23
The man with piñatas is insane. They have every character from Disney. They have Marvel
17:28
They have Star Wars. Gracias, mi jefa. Ciao, ciao. So this is all for like birthday parties, right
17:37
Birthday parties. Yeah, exactly. So they have like candies. They have right here different balloons for different numbers, right
17:45
So the age. Over here they have piñatas. Love piñatas. I want to have one for my birthday this year
17:49
37, I got a big piñata. Yeah, piñata is going to be your piñata, mira
18:17
In the piñata. It's a bag, put all the toys inside and give to the kids in the party
18:24
Yeah, it's a gift favor or favor. ¿Cómo se llama? Yeah, it's at the end of the party you give the gifts to every kid, right
18:30
Yeah, yeah. It's awesome. I mean, we have a huge influence from you guys
18:34
Obviously, I'm from Miami, so my kids do the same thing. We have the piñata, we break it, everything falls, and at the end we give everybody a gift
18:41
You know, it's nice, it's nice. The difference, though, is the price, right? In Miami, it costs you $10,000 one purchase
18:46
No, no, no, too much, too much. No, it depends who you are, right
18:51
To be honest with you guys, the scary thing about this market is you can get really lost in it. You don't have no idea how to get back
18:56
I mean, it's crazy, no? What big is this? Too big is this. Huge
19:00
Huge market. Love this place, though. I mean, really, anything you need, come here
19:05
And it's super safe. I mean, this is like the safest places in the cities right here, obviously because too many people
19:11
So you're going to be good. You're going to be safe. To the left. Six quarter bucks for this rip a hole
20:02
You know, I'm not about throwing away plastic. I actually don't even believe in using plastic, but this is how it is in this country, right
20:07
So if you have it, you gotta go with what you got, right? I think it's actually better than the bottles in a sense, right
20:12
Because it's a lot easier to go with it. Done? Done. So along the market you're going to find lots of vendors like this, right
20:23
They're selling Coca-Cola, they're selling Fantas. You got a mix, right? You have some iced tea in there, lots of water
20:28
Definitely support them. If you're thirsty, drink. Drink water, stay hydrated. Let's keep going
20:34
Shoes, shoes, shoes. More shoes. So each area is distinct for one or two different styles of vendors
20:41
This one's all shoes. Look. Look. Look
21:03
Just rap clothes, listen. I'm in Nicaragua with my people. We're doing something you've never seen in life
21:09
We're great. So this guy has all rap clothing. He has really nice high top sneakers
21:16
And he has another store over here. Do you have another one? Another one? Let's go
21:21
I mean, if you're into rap clothes, you know, like hip hop gear, this is the spot
21:25
He also has a bunch of jerseys. Look, all NBA, right? Come on, you have the Pistons, Portland, nice
21:33

21:48
Ya sabes cómo sale. Sí, sí. Este más de los viejos cuando cayó Francia la primera vez. Continue
21:53
Careful with the puddle. Woo! This place is less crowded, right? Way less people in this area
21:58
But we're in the back streets now, as I told you before. 135 city blocks
22:02
That's how big this place is. Look at this, look at this. Huge. Some of the shops are closed, but then it's like open closed
22:07
So it's a big mix here. Too much clothes, too much clothes. You can never run out of clothing here
22:13
You know, first-hand or brand-new clothes, second-hand clothes. And wow, here, look at this, look at these telas
22:19
Super nice. Oh, that little girl. It's not happening. That little grass is so delicious
22:52
It's a little smoky. You want chili? I wanted chili. I wanted chili
23:00
I wanted chili, but that's it. Look, let me pay you something for that
23:04
Alright, so what I just tried is fat from the breast of the calf
23:10
Exactly. Right? Different. I mean, it almost felt like this glandula. It was almost the same
23:16
Yes, yes, yes. But it's from here, from the calf. It's really amazing, I mean this is basically just a little grill right here, right
23:22
So she has the fat, she has meat, she has plantain, she has tortilla
23:26
So you basically just get that with some repollo on top like everybody here is having. It's a little tiny hole in the wall shop
23:31
It's amazing. Yeah, because it's Easter week, so it's a vacation time, no one's working
23:36
That's why it's so, so packed today. And it's right now, it's 1020 in the morning
23:40
So get here early, have breakfast here. I mean, it's worth it. The experience in itself is just once in a lifetime
23:47

Must do. Come, get a haircut, mini massage. I mean, it was nice
24:07
It was really cool. Went to the magic barbershop. And, yeah, now we're going to exit through this huge market
24:13
We're just going to find our way out of here. It's too, too big. I mean, it doesn't end
24:17
That barbershop area is really nice, though. It was like three different barbers there. But one of them, Osvaldo, he's the one that cut our hair
24:24
Yeah, Magic Barber Shop. He was so nice. He was like, come in, come in, film, yes, yes, film, come, come
