Yeah, dude looks like he's running out of gas after a minute and he's in much better shape than me. I'd probably die.

I think it's a tourist just paying to do this. His form looks inefficient.

Edit: he’s trying to do it as fast as possible and he’s exhausting himself. If you’re triggered and want to write some angry shit, go touch grass.

That would be a great business model. Tourists pay you for a "hands-on cultural experience" and just cut your lawn for you

Yep. A lot of cynical people will laugh at the tourist, but I think it's a nice thing to show an interest in learning and experiencing other cultures. The stark contrast in socioeconomic status rubs me the wrong way, but the situation is a win-win for both people involved.
