Definitely meeting all the friendly people. They were so welcoming and kind, even though we couldn't always understand each other.
What was the worst food you ate?
Those noodles were pretty bad! They were mushy and had almost no flavor. But, you know, it's all part of the adventure!
What's the weirdest thing you tried?
Probably that sauce! It tasted minty and tingly. I think it's a Sichuan spice, but I put way too much in my noodles.
What did you learn from your trip?
That sometimes, the best travel experiences aren't always about perfect food. It's about the people you meet and the connections you make.
