So we are siitting in the car not even pulled up to the station yet this is this is gonna be a run
Should we get out and run?
Today it started ridiculously early so naturally
we were ridiculously late. We're going to check out a new city today in China
Hangzhou
This is what you call drama
What's the big deal? We made it. Plenty of time
P: Karlie would would you like a lemon juice K: Yes please, lemon juice.
Okay, so who did I drag with me on this adventure? First up, Penny guarantee you won't see her off
her phone at this entire trip. Then we have Kelly, she speaks Mandarin
and can basically bail us out if something goes wrong and then there's
Nicolas, whose bag is full of secrets
I think this is our stop. We gotta go
Not really feeling my outfit. I see everybody with all these like cute kind of like
two-piece suits. I might need to go shopping I don't know what it's like
here in Hangzhou, but feel like a shopping trip might be in our 24 hours
schedule. We didn't exactly choose the best day for outdoor activities
It basically poured all day long.
I'm gonna try this breakfast pastry watching them make it back here
Bon appetite, thank you
This looks amazing and delicious. Breakfast to go. I have my breakfast walking through this
market and I see this fruit in which I've just been told is the stinkiest
This fruit apparently is banned from all airports, trains, everything because it's
smells so bad when you eat it, but I'm not gonna have that. Let's stick to my fried dough
Our first stop was Hu Qing Yu Tang pharmacy which founded in 1874, is a pharmacy for
traditional Chinese medicine
This is so cool
The prescriptions look like magic potions
It smells so good in here
Wow, are those mushrooms? Those are some fungus
They're weighing out all of the perscriptions like if you have a perscription
quarter pound of bee pollen, they put in a quarter pound of bee pollen
Next we ventured to Qincghefang ancient street, famous for shopping and it did not disappoint
Wow, thank you
Fresh sugarcane juice straight from the root
It's a little piggy at the market. This is pork
That's a walnut candy
I would find the candy and the store no matter where I am no matter what language
I'm eating random things that I find on the street for free
This is not a good idea. Ohh it smells like, it's the inside of a Payday like peanuts and sugar and probably just peanuts and sugar
Mhmmm, oh we need to buy those. They're good.
What is this?
I have no idea what this is, but I really want to try it
So we made it to West :ake it's a little bit rainier than I had imagined, but it's beautiful
West Lake is a big attraction in China because of its beauty and
serenity. it's said that many poets and painters
have come here throughout history seeking inspiration
Oh my god, that's amazing
Not gonna go to the McDonald's, but I'm gonna swing by Starbucks, just for a quick coffee!
Last up on this trip, we signed up for tai chi lessons at Taiji Zen
a Center founded by Jack Ma and Jet Li. This should be interesting.
So the final stop on our tour today in Hangzhou is a Tai Chi lesson and we have the amazing
Jason here to teach us what to do
J: Tai Chi movements - we just use our body to show how the tai chi philosophically is
Now breathe in here and breathe out
relax the chest
You can use your palm
I'm Ying, she's yang
I feel the power
See you next time! Bye
I'm so tired and delirious. Okay, um
Okay so, Hangzhou it's been awesome. I'm crying
laughter and tears of joy. It's been so much fun. I'm gonna jump on a flight
tonight. Everybody's flying home. I'm sad to ;eave China, it's been so much fun
and I'll be back soon
Bye
