Good morning to everyone. Today's day 14 in China. It's a bit rainy today
but I have my umbrella and I'm actually standing right beside my grandfather's
home. His childhood home. I think it must be at least
100 years old and it's nice to see how life was like back then even though
I never met him. It's a weird feeling seeing your
ancestors home in their home country
I don't know how to feel. Astonishment? Wonder?
I wonder how much of this is new and added
The roof looks like it's still the original
It looks like this place is just a warehouse to store things
A bunch of metal things. The nice thing about his house too is
that it's right beside a liv- not a liver. A river
um so this river can connect all the way down. Well it used to be able
to connect all the way to different parts of China. I think that's what I was
told oh that must have been fun to live so
close to water. The door used to be on the side of the
building like that
Now it's covered
It used to be here so
Did you see the kitchen of the village?
oh this is the kitchen. They have a banquet or something like that. A kitchen
for the village
ah looks like it finally stopped raining and
I have no idea where I am this is another
I guess industrial part of the city that my dad's visiting
My dad's doing some adult stuff out there
so I'm just waiting in this huge meeting room
with nobody else. Where are we going now? We're going to eat. Yes!!
I have no idea where I am. I'm just following my dad so
sorry if this part is really boring.
We're in another village now and this is like the front door
of a family's village so anyone with the last name
Lin in this area. This is their village. I wish we had time to go to
my family name's village but there wasn't enough time
and we're just going to one of the uncle's
places. The village here. Wow is it a shrine or
woah here looks like some ancient people oh these are ancient people with
last name Lin
I was just told that this building is more than 900
years old. It's just been renovated very well
so that's a lot of history
Looks like here's the renovations. The renovation
history. Well we are even further into the countryside and I'm just afraid that
I'm going to get bitten by more mosquitoes so I want to
make sure I'm not standing still. I found a turtle
with a snake on it. I'm sure there's a story behind it but I don't know what
that is. I love turtles. I have never been
so deep into China's countryside oh oh a cannon
ooh a chicken farm. You can see a huge chicken farm up there
So many chickens over there just free run
I love that no matter where you are, city or village
you'll usually find an exercise park in an area like this
so that you can get some daily exercise in
It's really rusty but it's gonna work
Old-fashioned toilets don't have doors just a hole but it doesn't smell
so it's not bad
