0:02 hello everyone from a random back alley
0:05 in C after all these years in China I'm
0:07 finally visiting this place one of
0:09 China's most famous cities and my first
0:11 impression is it's noisy there are a lot
0:13 of beeps going on in these little
0:15 Alleyways but other than that I am
0:17 enjoying this place cool architecture
0:19 good food I actually just started a new
0:20 contract at work that will give me extra
0:23 time off because if I didn't do that
0:25 this channel would be like unable to
0:27 survive anymore because I never have
0:28 enough time to go anywhere so that's why
0:30 I'll be traveling to some more far off
0:32 destinations in upcoming months so stay
0:34 tuned for that for now let's explore
1:02 [Music]
1:05 y'all check out this Tower of steamed
1:09 bun trays this is impressive I usually
1:12 see them in a stack of like three it's
1:14 so tall you literally need a ladder to
1:25 thing so a new fruit shop has just
1:27 opened as you can see from the bundles
1:29 of celebratory Wheats the Giant
1:33 Labratory Arch and the drum performance
1:44 [Music]
1:47 there in retrospect I realized how
1:48 anticlimactic it was for me to watch the
1:50 whole performance but not actually try
1:52 any fruit and give like a fruit review
1:54 or something so I expressed my sincere
1:56 apologies but now that we are on the
1:58 topic of watching random performances on
1:59 the side of the road you're in luck cuz
2:02 there is no shortage of that here in C
2:04 off we go to the park on the way there
2:05 please take a moment to admire some of
2:08 the unique items for sale around here my
2:10 personal favorite of which is this
2:12 rainbow chicken that ruthlessly devoured
2:15 the entire Peppa Pig family and we're
2:18 stuck in traffic okay typical C back alley
2:30 lifestyle you know the traffic's bad
2:32 when even the people who are walking are
2:34 struggling I fought my way through some
2:35 pretty intense traffic and finally made
2:37 it to the [Music]
2:50 park morning in the park the grandma and
2:52 grandpa exercise brigades are at full force
2:53 force [Music]
3:16 [Music]
3:18 the spinny dragon guy I think is the
3:20 winner of this morning coolest
3:24 performance out of all of them [Music]
3:40 for [Music]
4:22 well I attempted to learn some Kung Fu
4:24 moves but it's kind of like learning how
4:26 to dance in the way that it looks so
4:28 easy when other people do it but then
4:29 when you do it your hands just are like
4:32 like so uncoordinated and so out of
4:35 whack there really is an infinite array
4:37 of exercise regimens going on in the
4:39 park even after all these years I've
4:41 spent in China this Kung Fu move with
4:43 the stick is something I've never seen
4:45 before I was terrible at it but hey it
4:47 was cool to be involved in Park
4:48 activities instead of just being a
4:51 bystander I love the fun and social
4:52 atmosphere in these Parks especially in
4:54 the morning there are always people out
4:56 and about look even the youth have
4:58 peeled themselves away from their iPads
5:23 Outdoors y'all look how cute this thing
5:25 is if you get tired of City living and
5:27 you want that feeling of hiking in
5:29 nature but it's too far away to get to
5:31 real nature we got a fake nature right
5:33 here in this park this thing is
5:36 literally made out of rocks stacked on
5:39 top of each other to create like this
5:41 tiny Mountain I mean I guess I wouldn't
5:42 say it's fake nature cuz they are real
5:45 rocks I don't know what to call it I
5:56 now bye-bye wow my very first encounter
6:10 despite the fact that there are so many
6:12 layers of clouds covering the Sun that
6:13 you can't even tell what time of day it
6:16 is outside this park is still chef's
6:19 kiss it is indeed the peak of fall here
6:21 in C and if it's this beautiful in the
6:23 city I can't wait to see what it looks
6:25 like in the countryside which is where
6:27 we are going next time to get on our
6:29 Dahan Stallion and head out into the
6:33 middle of nowhere Dahan mailed me a bike
6:35 here to Shan this folding stallion is
6:36 going to take me all the way from the
6:38 bustling City Center of Cen to the
6:40 beautiful mountain villages on the
6:42 outskirts I'm not going to lie y'all
6:45 this weather is horrible but I'm going
6:47 to get as far as I possibly [Music]
6:53 [Music]
6:56 can is fall not like the most magical
7:00 season ever this is such a run the midle
7:02 street but it's so beautiful and it's
7:04 like raining outside right now the
7:05 weather sucks my fingers are cold I
7:08 should have brought gloves but it's so
7:11 beautiful look at the trees [Music]
7:48 [Music]
7:50 all right it is actually properly
7:53 raining out my fingers are numb it is so
7:56 cold but hey look at these
8:00 leaves look at the leaves
8:03 I love fall man the rain got out of
8:06 control so no more biking today I have
8:09 found a hotel with a cute little bougie
8:12 background this room has not only one
8:14 window but two windows and there's
8:16 nothing really worth looking at outside
8:18 of either one of them but that's fine
8:19 cuz sometimes the most interesting
8:22 things happen in the most uninteresting
8:24 of places [Music]
8:33 [Music]
8:35 this is one of my favorite dishes Lamb
8:39 with this bread like item in a soup and
8:41 I love this dish especially on a super
8:43 cold day it's really good and
8:45 interestingly they have given me like a
8:48 week's supply of garlic to consume with
8:51 this one meal that's a crazy food to
8:53 garlic ratio but I'm just really glad I
8:57 get some authentic Yaro paloa [Music]
9:12 [Music]
9:14 this rain is so annoying in every
9:16 conceivable way except there is one
9:19 benefit and only one which is that the
9:20 flashing neon lights everywhere in these
9:23 Alleyways look super sick reflected in
9:40 [Music]
9:42 despite the rain the evening market is
9:45 going in full force [Music]
10:23 I knew he was going to talk about Trump
10:26 I just knew it I was just waiting I was
10:31 like 5 4 3 2 1 going to talk about Trump
11:01 [Music] [Applause]
11:04 [Applause] [Music]
11:19 y'all I got engrossed in that dog love
11:21 triangle I have not been so captivated
11:25 by anybody's drama in the longest time
11:27 but it's really cold outside tomorrow
11:28 morning I'll be hopping back on my bike
11:30 and heading Into The Boondocks if the
11:33 weather allows good morning everyone from
11:34 from
11:37 CN I am in the midst of this bustling
11:39 Morning Market that I got rerouted
11:42 through because of road work and well
11:43 what a great place to be rerouted
11:45 through if you hadn't noticed already
11:46 this is actually the same Market from
11:48 last night but this time I wasn't just
11:50 wandering aimlessly and watching dog
11:52 love triangles I actually did have some
11:55 tasks to accomplish I got some breakfast
11:58 a banana and this biscuit with a hint of
12:00 beef in it and and I got a pair of
12:03 gloves because the wind be whipping then
12:05 it was time to get going or not because
12:08 I was lured into another Park almost
12:10 immediately I heard a familiar sound in
12:11 this park and what do you know it's
12:15 people doing the song dance and I wish
12:19 ason was here Al [Music]
12:40 there was a surprisingly large amount of
12:42 activities of All Sorts crammed into
12:44 this tiny Park and while I was content
12:47 just being a spectator the grandmas and
12:50 grandpas were dissatisfied they wanted a [Music]
12:59 performance they attempted multiple
13:01 times to convince me to step out onto
13:09 [Music]
13:11 dance but I also don't know Kung Fu and
13:13 I did that too so why [Music]
13:19 [Music] [Applause]
13:22 [Applause] [Music]
14:04 wow this has been a very productive
14:05 morning y'all hopefully there won't be
14:09 any internet gossip going around this
14:11 guy just asked me where I'm biking here
14:13 from and I'm so used to people asking me
14:15 where I'm from that I just automatically
14:17 responded the US and now I'm just
14:18 thinking about it over and over again
14:20 like how stupid that was and he was on a
14:21 motor scooter so I didn't have time to
14:25 be like wait I didn't mean that these
14:27 polka dot Grandma gloves are life
14:30 changing like for five m&b I didn't have
14:33 very high expectations but these are
14:36 great hello [Music]
14:54 [Music]
15:00 hello how is this still going my gosh [Music]
15:06 [Music]
15:08 I'm making incredibly slow progress here
15:10 because I keep stopping in like every single
15:12 single
15:15 yeah because I keep stopping in like
15:17 every single Alleyway to get shots of
15:20 the Misty Mountains in the background
15:21 because these honestly are very
15:22 run-of-the-mill Alleyways there's
15:23 nothing that special about them but
15:25 something about the mountains in the
15:26 background just makes them feel like
15:30 there's something out of a painting [Music]
16:08 byebye firsten for my journey I guess he
16:11 just selects people who look worthy of
16:14 his books so I'm honored to have
16:17 received one but I never have time to
16:20 read and now it's like I must find time
16:22 to read this book that has been bestowed upon
16:28 me stopping at this cute little park for
16:31 a few minutes minutes for my banana it's banana
16:59 time foreign
17:01 foreign [Music]
17:03 [Music]
17:30 oh [Music]
18:11 [Music]
18:13 so due to inclement weather I had to
18:15 call it a day early it's annoying to
18:17 have to stop early but hey look at this
18:20 sick view in the next video I'll be
18:22 wandering around some of these Villages
18:24 and showing you guys The Boondocks of
18:27 Cen up close and personal that's all for
18:29 today's little Vlog and and remember if
18:31 you ever find yourself in a Chinese Park
