China Chat

Xi'an is home to the world famous terra cotta warriors and Jiajia, Chris and Khalil take a tour and hundreds of pictures. If you go to Xi'an, the terra cotta warriors are a must-see. Jiajia says he can feel the force. 

西安是世界著名的兵马俑的所在地，嘉嘉、克里斯和哈利尔去参观并拍了数百张照片。如果你去西安，兵马俑是必看的景点。佳佳说他能感受到那种力量。

We met Khalil at the airport and headed out to a vegan restaurant Jiajia found. It turned out it's attached to an ancient Taoist nunnery, so we had tea in a lovely garden, met a friendly parrot and had lunch under an ancient tree. Delightful. 

我们在机场接到了卡里尔，然后去了佳佳找到的一家素食餐厅。结果发现这家餐厅是附属于一座古老的道观的，所以我们在一个美丽的花园里喝了茶，见到了一只友好的鹦鹉，并在一棵古老的树下吃了午餐。太惬意了。

Yes, everyone goes to Xi'an to see the terra cotta warriors, but when it comes to cuisine, it's all about the noodles. We talk about a few of the varieties available and how to eat them. 是的，每个人去西安都是为了看兵马俑，但说到美食，那就全是关于面条了。我们聊了几种面条的种类以及怎么吃它们。

Lesson learned. Jiajia and Chris are horrible at math. We went on vacation and didn't record enough episodes to cover the gap. We make some corrections, talk about the high-speed train, Xi'an's Wild Goose Pagoda and hot pot outdoor restaurants as well as Jiajia's favorite: The Monkey King. 

经验教训。佳佳和克里斯数学很差。我们去度假了，没有录制足够多的节目来填补这段时间的空白。我们做了一些更正，谈到了高铁、西安的大雁塔、户外火锅餐厅，还有佳佳最喜欢的：《西游记》（《猴王》）。

Jiajia's headaches and dizziness on the road are explained. Blame the shades! A deep dive into sunglasses and Jiajia's buying spree. Now he feels fine and looks super cool. 

深入探讨墨镜与佳佳的购物狂潮：佳佳在路上的头痛和眩晕问题终于得到了解释。原来都是墨镜惹的祸！如今，他感觉棒极了，还看起来超级酷。

Chris loves a big, loud, vibrant music festival. Jiajia would rather hike for five days in the desert without water. The Medusa Music Festival lasts three days and is a fun event for those who love live music and shared experiences on the grand scale. Massive concerts are always happening in China. If that's your thing, make sure you include at least one on your travel itinerary. 

克里斯喜欢那种大型的、喧闹的、充满活力的音乐节。而佳佳宁愿在沙漠里徒步五天，也不愿意去参加音乐节，哪怕没有水喝。梅杜莎音乐节为期三天，对于那些热爱现场音乐和喜欢大规模共享体验的人来说，这是一个很有趣的活动。在中国，大型音乐会总是层出不穷。如果你喜欢这种活动，那么在你的旅行计划中至少要安排一场。

We actually manage to talk about pop-up markets, what you can find there, and Jiajia becomes a "yes man". 

我们实际上确实谈到了临时集市，以及你可以在那里找到的东西，而佳佳变成了一个“好好先生”。

Well, we were going to talk about the pop-up street markets, but only made it to the jianbing before Jiajia decided to share his chicken crepe recipe and thereby a new drinking game was born. 

好吧，我们本来打算聊聊街头集市的，但还没聊到，就被佳佳分享的鸡肉煎饼配方给打断了，结果还诞生了一个新的饮酒游戏。

Jiajia and Chris explore the traditions and modern updates to the traditional Chinese wedding and Chris laments thee lack of dancing, while Jiajia rejoices. 

佳佳和克里斯探索了中国传统婚礼及其现代更新的习俗，克里斯感叹婚礼上缺乏跳舞的环节，而佳佳却为此感到高兴。

Time to hit thee street and enjoy the sights and sounds of a festive night out in the village. Chris and Jiajia load up on teeshirts and Jiajia has the restaurant add 5 eggs to his fried rice.

是时候走上街头，享受村庄里节日夜晚的热闹景象和欢快氛围了。克里斯和佳佳买了很多T恤衫，而佳佳还让餐厅在他的炒饭里加了5个鸡蛋。
