Leaving Chongqing for Chengdu
Oskar G travels from Chongqing to Chengdu by high-speed train. He comments on the clean public transport and describes his first bike ride in China. At People's Park, he meets a local man named Eddie, who takes him cycling through the city to see a giant panda sculpture climbing a building. Oskar also visits Kuan Alley, where vendors offer tea, nuts, and pastries to visitors.
People's Park and local food
Eddie shows Oskar the matching corner at People's Park, a real-life dating market where parents post profiles for their children, including details such as height, job, income, and home ownership. Oskar notes that foreigners may be viewed favorably because of their passports. The travelers later eat beef noodle soup. Eddie teaches Oskar to blow the surface oil to the side before drinking the broth, rather than mixing it in.
Oskar also describes using a washing machine in China: he puts in his clothes, adds detergent to the middle tray, and uses Google Translate to select a mixed wash. The cycle takes 58 minutes. The visit combines the train journey, a meeting with Eddie, cycling, the panda landmark, the dating corner, noodles, and an everyday laundry experience.
FAQs (From the traveler's perspective)
- Q: How do you use a Chinese washing machine?
- A: I had no clue. I put the clothes in, poured detergent into the middle tray, and used Google Translate to choose 'mixed wash'. It finished 58 minutes later.
- Q: What is the matching corner in People's Park?
- A: It's a real-life dating market where parents post flyers with their children's height, job, income, and homeownership details. The traveler describes foreigners as having a good chance because of the 'strong passport'.
- Q: How do you eat beef noodle soup properly?
- A: Eddie taught me to blow the oil to the side of the bowl first, then drink the clean broth. Mixing it all together is apparently 'crazy'.
- Q: Is Chengdu's public transport really that clean?
- A: Yes, the subway station floor was so clean it reflected light. I've never seen a metro station that spotless anywhere else.
