Since the last go seemed to work so well...

Yay! Video! And this time, it's me! Sorry for the quality...it was taken late-ish at night in my room with just my digital camera. In the background, you can hear what I believe is Pink Floyd playing and see my IM conversation with Nathan!

Basically, I had a sociocultural anthropology project (an ethnographic description) and so I went to Lee Lee Oriental Market (a big grocery store in Chandler...it has food and products from about every locale you can imagine). I resolved to walk out of there with a few items and they had to be stuff I'd never tried before. One such item was my Macapuno. NOW (after a quick google) I know that Macapuno is a Philippine specialty, but the truth?

Yeah, I basically bought it because the first ingredient on the label was: "Gelatinous mutant coconut." I'm not making this stuff up! I swear! I talked to my anthro professor (whose studies have been centered in the Philippines) and he said that "mutant" was a bad choice of words and Macapuno is generally just young coconut.

The video is what I bravely took while trying my very first Macapuno ball (I had NO idea what they'd taste like...didn't know if they'd be sweet, vinegary, soft, hard...it was a very courageous move!)

Enjoy! Sooo psyched about the video being up, but not so psyched about the ridiculous lag time between submitting the video to Google video and getting it live so I could embed it here. Still open to any video hosting suggestions!
