3.5: China Pre-Trip, Language Reactivation, and Other Mischief

Greetings from Kunming, China, land of Pu-erh tea! Kevin Rose, Glenn McElhose, and Tim Ferriss are up to no good and having a blast. This video is the first of several to chronicle their experience exploring the incredible world of tea in China, so be prepared for footage no foreigners have seen before. Not into tea? Don’t worry; it’s an inside look at strangers in a strange land, culture shock included. This volume covers their trip preparation, Pu-erh tea cakes, and basic Mandarin language reactivation. There is a separate Random episode coming that includes more on language and textbook analysis. In the afternoon they head to Beijing for a bit of Bladerunner-style fun and exploration of Olympics-inspired modernization.
