ludwigludwigahgrenahgrengamingchatstreamdecidesludmotorcyclechina travelroad tripadventurebiker ganglocal foodpark workoutstreet foodhighway journeycultural encounterWhat was the funniest moment in the transcript?
Definitely when we tried the park workout machines, especially the 'ass shaker' that was supposed to burn energy but just shook my butt. Locals were watching and laughing.
What food did you try and how much did it cost?
We had a fried tomato and egg dish at a random spot. It cost about $2 for my meal, and $4 total for both of us. It was hearty but different from what I'm used to.
Did you get ice cream in the end?
No, we went to a place called Mr. Bing's but they were out of 'bing chilling' (ice cream). We ended up with a blueberry drink instead. It was heartbreaking.
Any advice on navigating China's roads?
Don't trust every direction. We relied on GPS and locals but still got confused. The 207 road is scenic but tricky. Always confirm with multiple people.
