Chinese Mayor invites us to his home

Imagine you woke up in a random ass city

in China and then a bunch of Chinese

people came up to you like a damned zoo

animal and they were poking at you

because you're driving a motorcycle and

you convince them.

>> Yeah. For us, we don't have to imagine.

It's just it happens every morning.

>> No, I'll give you that.

>> They love the whites. What did I tell

you?

>> They love the whites.

>> Okay. Can I Michael? I don't think it's

>> this one. It's this way.

>> Yeah. Yeah. But you're you're holding it

like it's an ancient Chinese script. I

think it's this way.

>> You think it's this way? Yeah.

>> No, it's like sedoku. It's like down.

>> Like what?

>> Goes like I don't think I think I don't

think that's a word.

>> That's a What do you mean? It can't be.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Like that. Like that.

>> Nah, I don't think so.

>> Oh, Welcome back to Tip to Tip.

>> All right, we are back, baby. Let's go.

>> Let's go. Where's the 207? I

miss her already.

>> This is it, Michael. We're on the 207.

>> Oh, right. Yeah, cuz we got off and then

we uh finagled in the town and then came

back to her. This This should be as free

of a day as possible. And I think the

weather's going to stay this way

forever. It's a nice day out. It's not

too cold. It's not raining.

>> I heard it'll never go bad again for the

rest of our trip.

>> Just interstitial cuts of us in pouring

rain.

>> That would be really funny in theory. In

theory, that'd be what?

>> That's the theory of it.

>> Uh what elevation do you think we're at?

Cuz we climbed a lot yesterday.

>> I think we're high up, bro. I won't lie.

>> It feels high. Yeah. I mean, we went

down for sure a bit, but like that

initial upies we did, I don't think we

ever came back down from.

>> Absolutely not. Yeah. I feel like

mammoth.

>> Yeah. Yesterday I was having a hard time

getting a breath when we got to this

town. I can't tell if it's cuz it was

high up or because we were tired or

because my airbag vest had

>> But there might be a fourth reason in

there. Michael,

>> what is that?

>> You see, Lily had a zin once and now

Michael smokes cigarettes every day.

Well, I didn't even include that cuz

it's just like a daily couple couple

pack.

>> Just a couple pack. How could that

affect my lungs?

>> Just a daily couple. No, I think it's

cuz we were cold.

>> Small concern. Uh like my gloves are

sping wet,

>> dude. Yeah, you must be really cold

right now.

>> It cannot be getting better.

>> I'm in my final form. That's the issue.

Like I don't have any warmer gear than

this.

>> Yeah, I I think this is the coldest day.

I think yesterday was probably the

coldest day. This will be the second

coldest day and then it'll warm up as we

get north to Beijing.

>> And sorry, you're saying wait just you

think it's going to warm up as we go

north to Beijing?

>> Yeah. Historically, yeah.

>> Yeah. Okay. All right. I buy it. Uh

well, we found the city from the guy Sha

>> Shai. There's a city apparently 300 km

north called Shampai, which I think is

our today's goal cuz 300 km should be

pretty achievable. So hopefully

>> hopefully. It always feels like we

should get like more hours of driving.

It feels like the days go by so fast.

>> Yeah, dude. That's the tentative

tip curse is you're like, "What day is

are we on?"

>> It's always It's always a different

number than you think.

>> Yeah, it always is. Dude, I got bags on

my feet just like last year.

>> You got bags on your feet?

>> Yep. Dude, what happened last year? I I

don't know. We were so in

Hokkaido and then both of us just

completely forgot how bad it was and

then didn't buy any like super awesome I

mean you got waterproof boots which is

awesome. You got no nicer gloves. You

got no nicer no waterproof

jacket. We tried the pin lock but guess

I'm dumb. Oops.

>> Yeah, we

>> guess I'm a dumbass. No, we

suck.

>> Uh yeah, it's because time goes by and

you know what? I literally looked up. I

was like, "Does it rain a lot in China

this time of year?"

>> Yeah. And GPT was like,

"No, China is very aid. It does not rain

this time of year." And I was like,

"Hell yeah, it's not going to rain

once."

>> Yay.

>> And then it rained more than I've seen

in the last two years of my life.

>> Anyway, we're going to ride down the 207

until we get some food.

>> Um, Drake, where's the road

since the 207 just hung itself?

What?

>> So, we were coming down the 207 just

looking for a place to eat, a little

santing, maybe a bathroom,

>> and and then it just ends. You

see where that kid's walking?

>> Yeah.

>> I think it's over there, but I don't

know. I don't

>> You hear that, too, right? What?

Arliho.

>> Bye-bye. Shout out to that homie. This

is the 207.

>> Is that what he said?

>> I think he said it can go to the 207.

>> Oh,

>> I think we said cuz we definitely got

207 across and then he went it can go.

>> That's good. Yeah. I mean, he's going.

>> All right. Uh, well, come see what the

207 looks like.

>> Okay.

Okay. Yeah. Easy enough.

>> Like, what do you Come on. What do you

mean?

>> This is up. How does it just end?

It's like four lanes. It's like a

fourlane road terminates to this.

>> Okay. Well, just keep just keep powering

through.

Just keep going, I guess.

>> Wait, this is pretty.

>> Yeah. Is it like

food?

>> Is it a beauty?

>> Oh, okay. This is an interesting pickle,

brother. I don't know where we are

anymore.

Okay. Whoa. Wait. What the?

Um,

>> you know,

>> okay, it's kind of betting north kind

of.

>> Yeah. Country road.

>> We may have just lost the love of our

lives, though.

>> Uh, how did we do that? How do we keep

letting her slip through our fingers?

>> There's no way. There's no way. It's the

207, right? There's no way.

>> Yeah, there's no

>> Never in a million years. We must have

just lost her.

>> Well, we're going north. I I guess we

just keep driving.

>> No, nothing much else we can do.

>> All right.

Get a little bit of gas in me. Hey, Guo.

>> Joel. Joel.

>> Hey, dog.

>> So,

in Japan on the last tip of tip, you

might remember like the comb beanies.

We'd stop there for food basically every

day. And China is kind of more similar

to the states where a gas station will

have a convenience store attached. The
