- All right, check it out, guys.
It's Trevor James.
I am with Ting and we are back.
We've been in Canada the last couple months
and we are bringing you on a world noodle tour.
Two plus years of eating noodles all around the world
and we're bringing you along with us
through the videos that we're gonna shoot.
We just got a box in the mail from Amazon, a world map.
We're gonna open it up and show you
where we're bringing you to eat noodles.
Check it out.
So, we're gonna open this map.
- Ha ha. - [Trevor] And show you
where we're bringing you
for the next two years to eat noodles
and we just got, check it out.
Look at that nice shirt Ting's got on.
World Noodle Tour.
Brand new merch, link in the description below.
Oh, yeah, here we go and show you.
We're still planning.
We've got four routes that we're taking you on for noodles
and we're gonna be doing the first route
starting in September.
Awesome.
You guys are gonna love this series.
Okay. - Yours is wrinkled.
- [Trevor] You guys can also check out ExpressVPN.
They are sponsoring part of this trip for us.
Link in description below.
I love using ExpressVPN for security,
privacy, to book cheap flights,
and to use Netflix to watch location-specific content.
Okay, so here we are.
We are gonna start out by taking you to Japan
and our goal is to eat
as much of the noodles in Japan as possible.
So, we're gonna start in Sapporo in the north
and then go down into Hakodate,
Tokyo, Osaka, and the south here.
This is just tentative plans.
We're going with the flow and bringing you
for the noodles that we find along the way.
The first route is The Silk Road.
So, you can see, we've got the counties listed here.
We're going from Japan to Italy.
So after Japan, we are gonna bring you through China,
starting in Tianjin, famous for lots of food,
and the goal for this China trip
is to take you places we haven't been before.
So, we're going to Tianjin, Kaifeng in Henan province.
Tons of street food there.
We're going to Shenyang, near Xi'an, famous for noodles,
and then we're going down to Chongqing for spicy noodles.
Chongqing chow mein is so famous.
We're gonna fly up to Lanzhou,
famous for hand-pulled noodles,
and then finish in Dunhuang in the desert.
Six cities in China and that is just the beginning.
After China, our goal is to go through central Asia.
We're gonna bring you all through Uzbekistan,
Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and then also,
we want to go to Iran if we can get the visa.
So, we're gonna visit Korea as well
but we're probably gonna do it after this route
because we're kind of in a rush.
So, our goal here is to fly into Iran after China,
go to Tehran and Isfahan
and wherever else the food takes us.
So, from Iran, we're probably fly into Uzbekistan,
Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.
So then, we've got central Asia covered
and I know central Asia is more famous
for pilaf and rice and pulao,
but we're gonna do our best to find any noodles we can
and the rule is for this whole noodle series
is that the noodles have to be local.
We're not gonna be eating
Chinese street noodles around the world.
We're gonna be finding local noodles, local pasta,
and we're also making the definition of noodles
very, very general.
So, even dumplings.
Anything made with wheat flour, rice flour,
things that are long or pressed out flat, we are gonna eat.
We are also gonna be visiting Pakistan again
to visit our buddy Ali and in the north,
apparently there's some local noodles we can try.
So, we'll be flying into Pakistan as well.
So, after central Asia and Iran,
we are gonna be going into Georgia
and then, through Turkey.
Istanbul, probably Izmir, and wherever else we find.
After Turkey, we're gonna go down to Lebanon, to Beirut.
This is gonna be so much fun.
After Lebanon, head down into Egypt, Cairo.
There are noodles there, the koshari.
We're gonna head up to Greece.
Maybe if we can take a boat across, that would be cool.
Or we'll fly up to Athens and then end in Italy.
Or we might continue on into Spain.
So, the whole route is going from Japan to Spain or Italy
and that is just the first route.
The Silk Road.
Route two, we're coming back strong, guys.
We've been on break for two months now.
We were shooting so hard before.
Gotta be honest, we were a little tired.
We are feeling energetic and ready to go.
Route two starting in Russia.
I don't know exactly where.
Maybe Vladivostok on the east or maybe Moscow.
This is next summer.
We're gonna go through Russia, through Mongolia,
and then down through China, of course, the noodle heaven,
noodle capital of the world.
There is a lifetime of noodles to eat in China.
But we're gonna be going all through China,
down in through southeast Asia, Vietnam,
Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, of course Malaysia.
One of our favorite countries in the world.
Some of the best food and of course,
best noodles in the whole world and in through Indonesia.
And of course, Philippines as well.
There is so much food to eat on this second route
from north to south and especially noodles.
And if we still feel energetic,
we can finish off in Australia.
So, that's the second route.
We got east to west, north to south.
It's gonna be a lot of fun, eh Ting?
- Yeah. - [Trevor] Yeah.
It's gonna be the noodle series of a lifetime.
- World noodles. - [Trevor] World noodle tour.
Okay, so we got four routes.
East to west, China to Italy or Spain, Silk Road.
We got second route, north to south, Russia to Australia,
all through southeast Asia,
Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia.
Best food in the world in southeast Asia.
Oh, I'm so excited.
And then, we've got third route,
Canada down to Argentina and Chile, through Central America
and then the fourth route,
now this is gonna take a lot of consultation.
Which route to choose through Africa
and whether we can get any sort of noodles or pasta.
This is just a a crazy idea, guys,
and I can't wait to bring you there.
You can check out our World Noodle Tour merch

This is gonna be a world noodle tour of a lifetime.
Starting out in September, Japan,
it's gonna be a trip of a lifetime.
Can't wait to upload for you then.
