Video Transcription

today we're going to a place called Westlake I think it's a three-hour drive so we have to leave first thing in the morning andrew is dying let's hope he survives there we go [Music]

the

[Music]

back

[Music]

ah

we're currently in Westlake which is in Hangzhou city which I did some Wikipedia research beforehand this is the capital of judge on province and apparently Hangzhou is where Alibaba is based which is that huge like commerce thing and everybody's been waiting for us we found the kind of parking spot so go - duck tongue so that's one durian pastry area oh I never had you look okay we have a bird's got the pork people either describe it as like custard or rotten onion let me try it I'm is good just like custard in increments like this little package each oxygen clicking like that [Music]

the bowtie come on it was very good there was a lot of food to the famous people yummy that's another men yeah they've got these tourist bicycles you can rent and she asked who wants to ride one and immediately every kid that I do [Music]

wow this place is unbelievably beautiful I can see why it's such a huge tourist destination help kalyana everyday [Music]

I'm not sure if it's all of the bikes but at least the yellow ones are one quai or one Chinese dollar which is like one seventh of the dollars though I like fifteen cents for a ride so it's basically a service ship I think the money is just a light cover coffee table [Music]

that's telephoto lens inter archives this is a very different experience than when I lived here in 1996 not only was I in Beijing then which is the big city but it was also that there was way more trash and like littering that they've done a really good job of cleaning everything up here like it's beautiful here

fantastic

[Music]

pretty crowded here this is actually probably the most crowded area we've been to since we've gotten here like a shipbuilding area the long bridge not that creative so apparently two people committed suicide on this bridge and then immediately two lotuses blossomed up and then long bridge ain't not long bridge or something like that whoa what is she [Music]

office-like shibuya level but proudly now good the feeling back here right now no i doesn't go that bad much more organizing your clean these walkways still have the cars come right through them there is not a lot of room look at that

this is like a [Music]

[Music]

this is top level chaos and now adding for the Nick Bing function like red blood cells going through capillaries the boat is now moving we're on the back of the boat we can score the best beat everybody else sitting on the inside [Music]

I think that's the road that extends the whole length of the lake and on the other side you can see water - it's like very narrow ten people on there and now leave that's the city of Hangzhou right there who are they already yes sir [Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so I think that this is like a temple for a general or something so what I pieced together is that this is the tomb of general you you have fiction when you have to the other thing and I think everybody's waiting at the dollar store for something that's just walking around pretty sweet pawn here loaded lotus lotus powder the mix ugly water subtly sweet good like a feast even kids dream Oh

[Music]

apparently the holes there are today I don't think well actually not that crowded for what it can be especially a Saturday on a Labor Day weekend that's close to even more ground [Music]

[Music]

they were having hot hot again where you cook all the food and the pot it's actually hollow inside so not that much our job in this big ring Oh Yolo Yolo goodies you are awesome in Yahoo it's like very creamy cuddling with a new a new c'mon for this your turn to Peter said that is actually frightfully good super creamy it just melts in your mouth I want to order that because it's kind of gross doesn't hate fan at all how was it is incredible I think for once we both don't feel like dying after eating too much like we like no because like right amount yeah I also think the pacing of hot pot is always like a good paper laughter yeah that helped yes jack you are sitting here uh strawberry look what you like that one son chuckles I don't know honey

Wow that is incredible it's funny because it is just lights on trees but they're amazing yeah we did such a thorough job of putting those on there yeah they like so evenly place wow that is incredible [Music]

okay we're back at the hotel another successful day don't know what we're doing tomorrow but they said something about Chow and that could be their jumping or dancing so I don't know what that is but uh we'll see you tomorrow [Music]
