91
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>And gestures, but communication with the local vendors was still

92
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:42.480

00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>what it was, but the store owner only smiled and

97
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.360

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 2>wafting through the air, but while dancing around, he didn't

00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:45.279
