I was gonna go to the toilet hey the
tour as well you came in for a light
lunch so there's a video the video is
linked magical and lingo means box taco
means bars so dingo baka Apple boxes

a desert called Apple box they don't say
what it is so if you go there and you
order the ham we order the Apple box
dessert please tell me what it is I
could've told you good morning guys
we've actually got a really nice view
out of the hotel there's just like a
bridge there and you can see the water I
come up to Almaty every single year for
the shamisen competition that's in heat
Oh sucky but I never really get to tour
around or do anything and come to think
of it I brought my tummy's in with me
didn't I yeah you did
haven't pulled it out once this entire
trip kind of feels like a waste we're
gonna get this hotel room cleaned up and
head out and grab some food and just
we're gonna al water you for today I get
it for three seconds and you steal my
seat how do you think that was sitting
there okay all right and then I'm gonna
steal your bank first stop of the day we
are going to grab some food gonna grab
some ramen because because ramen is
there any other reason to grab ramen up
there this is like special ramen right
Chris oh the best ramen you ever have in
the world ever in the world ever it's
the owners are from Suffern all so the
ramen is influenced by Safarov basically
Scott simple Kaido butter on it
karema so milk ramen it's got the kind
of curry missile base with milk and
other things and it looks yellow so to
cool us we need to make I was pretty
surprised to see the butter but it's
actually a really nice addition this
whole thing has a very very gentle
flavor but Chris is telling me that what
gets really busy in here so if you
actually ever plan on coming make sure
you come
we were kind of lucky great bills yeah
portion sizes were huge and Chris is
trying to hide his shirt he got robbed
middle I just walked out this naturally
we are in a bit of a rush to get back to
sheena hahabadi stations Chris doesn't
business she cuts it how furious if we
miss that train absolutely furious
