The bridge is subject to traffic control during holidays and is closed to cars and only allows tourists to pass. Because when they designed the bridge, they did not expect that the city would be so popular that the narrow sidewalks could not carry tourists at all.
46:59 Those boys were raised well. They were trying to tell you to add a pinch of sugar to your dipping sauce. This is what makes Chinese cuisine exceptional overall in the world. A true balance of flavors. Much like adding a pinch of salt to cookie dough before forming the cookies. Rounds out, finishes off, and completes the umami.
A food country that compares to the food country of Italy, so I don’t think the “best”! The Chinese restaurants outside of China don’t compare to Italian restaurants outside of Italy……fact!
Let's share this video then eh lads!!! Criminal that these videos aren't blowing up compared to some of the absolute tripe China videos on YT recently.
@@JackAynsleyTravel The eating method of hot pot is very open, but Chongqing people usually like to use garlic paste and sesame oil as dipping ingredients, which will make it very fragrant and the sesame oil will suck away the chili peppers. However, it seems that you have forgotten to use sesame oil, which is the bottle originally placed on the table. Most hot pot restaurants assume that customers will use them, but they don't consider you as tourists. Maybe you can give a demonstration to other foreign tourists next time you go to eat, haha
In winter, the climate of Chongqing is cloudy, cold and humid. In traditional Chinese medicine, chili has the function of dispelling cold and dehumidified. You can understand that the weather is Yin qi. Pepper is Yang, and the balance between Yin and Yang applies to everything in the world，This is also the principle of Chinese Tai Chi culture
It seems that there is also peach gum, a gelatinous substance secreted by peach trees. It is also a tonic that relieves heat, relieves fatigue, and cools down.
May 1st is Labor Day and there is a 7-day holiday, so there are more tourists than usual. If you encounter something you haven't eaten before, just ask the people next to you and they will help you.
@@JackAynsleyTravel It is "清明节" (Qingming Festival), which is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the 15th day after the spring equinox, usually occurring around April 4-6 in the Gregorian calendar. It is also known as "Tomb Sweeping Day" or "Clear Bright Festival".
The substances in afternoon tea are: Tremella fungus and peach gum, which are commonly used by women in China to take care of their skin. They are very nutritious.
20:19 That's a run-of-the-mill snow fungus soup. It's a common Chinese dessert. They've also put goji berry and jujube in them, which are two common ingredients in Chinese herbal tea, so I am guessing that's probably why Jack felt it was some sort of tea.
@@JackAynsleyTravel Yeah, it's nice to have a bowl of chilled snow fungus soup in a hot summer day. Not a fan of the warm ones though. I don't know why, but tepid snow fungus soup always reminds me of soggy chips.
The soup looks like white woodear soup considered very nutricious and with some medicine functions that are supposed to be very favorable for our body.
This hotel is called an intelligent hotel, which refers to voice intelligence. All operations in the room can be completed through voice commands without the need for manual operation. Which instrument at the head of your bed is the AI? Shouting it a low degree will wake it up, and then you can voice command it to turn on music, turn on the TV, turn on lights, turn off lights, open curtains, turn on the air conditioning to adjust the degree, and so on. It will be able to complete all of these tasks.
I really like how you guys are really not hesitant to try new things !And you always do your homework on finding the most famous restaurants to eat despite the language barriers! I think you are the first RUclipsr I have seen who are able to use Didi in China! How is your 36hr standing up train ride coming along? I hope you guys have a good rest when you arrive in Xinjiang! Xoxo
I'm so enjoy watching you two in China❤.Maybe I could suggest you that find someplace to eat by asking some local people like in the video comment instead of searching on Internet.😊Hope you can enjoy yourself in China.
The Bamboo Sea is a scenic postcard of China. It is very shocking. The air is very comfortable, and you can also taste bamboo delicacies and ancient buildings.
BAMBOO SEE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER PICTURESQUE SENIC SPOTS IN CHINA. IF YOU COME FROM THOUSANDS MILES AWAY, BETER NO TO WASTE TIME AND MONEY IN THIS KIND OF COMMONE PLACES.
@@JackAynsleyTravel I have been to the Bamboo Sea, and the landforms and scenery are indeed very unique. It is the Chinese version of the Grand Canyon, but it is full of bamboo forests and rivers， caves and aerial cable cars,Hollywood movie shooting base... I suggest you go on-site to travel and explore instead of reading the critical comments of Taiwanese people online. The Bamboo Sea scenery is unique to China and is a unique scenery of China, while the bamboo forest is not.
As a person born in Chongqing, this is my first time hearing someone waiting 3 hrs for a hotpot table. Does not sound like Chongqing at all, as hotpot resterauts, large and small, are everywhere.
@@JackAynsleyTravelThese hot pot restaurants are just for tourists! Try some local restaurants away from tourist attractions with a reasonable price and authentic flavor !
@@JackAynsleyTravelwhile you navigate the subway system of Chongqing, I suggest you find a station called Hong Yan Cun红岩村, the deepest station in China. Find a hotpot restaurant in those side streets.
@@JackAynsleyTravel you don't have to find a popular hotpot restaurant in particularly in Chongqing, Hotpot is the name card of Chongqing, just go to the regular hotpot restaurant anywhere and the flavor would be good enough. Also noodles are tasty in Chongqing.
@@JackAynsleyTravel Best Chongqing hotpot hides in communities, it usually doesn’t have beautiful decorations, but many local people like it.(tips: if you want a local good hotpot, you can walk into apartment buildings, then you’ll find a hotpot with many local middle-aged people, that’s the best hotpot in Chongqing)
(Jeff from Columbus, Ohio) Just started watching you guys and you do a great job depicting reality in a very normal way! And, you made me look up KIP---a colloquialism we don't use here! :) Take care!
A little tip for the viewers that want to visit China, please avoid Chinese national holidays, especially May 1- 10, October 1-10, and Chinese new year. And give those unpopular destinations a go, like Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, guizhou … have fun.
In fact, "chi le ma" is not as commonly used and is often only used before and after meals, and is only used to greet acquaintances in this way. "Ni hao ma" is not particularly commonly used, usually just say "ni hao".
I really like the videos you shared. I miss hot pot, skewers and barbecue very much when I study in the UK. Chongqing hot pot usually uses two classic dipping sauces, one is sesame oil, garlic and salt, and the other is only dried chili peppers, which are usually used to dip duck blood, which is very delicious. There are also beef tripe, tripe and duck intestines, which are common must-order hot pot dishes. I hope you can try them if you have the chance!
As someone from chengdu who saw you two putting vinegar and soy sauce for that amount into the dipping sauce bowl, I was in total shock just like those 3 kiddos standing besides at the counter who want to have you guys notified 😂 normally when you have hotpot in Chongqing or around sichuan province in general, some sesame seeds, small chunk of minced garlic, a little bit oyster sauce, a bit green onions and cilantro along with few tablespoons of aromatic oil(Xiang oil) just good to go. Any salt or sweet and vinegar will smash the flavor of hotpot base. Besides, the longer the pot is cooked, more salty the cooked food gets, so soy sauce and salt in large amount is excessively destructive.
Such a lovely couple.I spent the whole afternoon watching your Vlogs.As a Chinese, it's an interesting perspective, to see our own people's lives through your eyes.Thank you for showing the real situation, no bias, just pure experience.I sincerely invite you to Suzhou, Suzhou is one of the most beautiful cities in China.If you could come,I would be very willing to take you to experience this city.Wishing you all the best.❤
You two are so cute. The first time I saw someone queuing up for 3 hours to eat, we usually go shopping after we get our number, and then come back to eat after about the same time. Also, due to holidays, hotel prices are very high and there are many people eating.
People don’t sit and wait 🥺 we saw people leave and comeback and they missed there number after waiting 3 hours! They joined the back of the queue haha
@@JackAynsleyTravel People's WeChat cheak in queues in real time by scanning the QR code on the booking ticket. Not eating at popular restaurants after 8pm on holidays and weekends. 😈
You are very brave. Despite all warnings from the medias not to take ‘risk’ coming to China , you did it.There are particularly many foreigners in CHONGQING, which proves China's security.
China is one of the safest countries in the world, there is almost no theft and robbery, and don't worry about cameras, there are many cameras on the streets of China, but they are for public safety, as long as you don't break the law, no one will interfere with your travel. Please do not believe that the Western media's reports on China are basically political and untrue. Come to China and see for yourself, you will know how hypocritical the Western media is.
Ive never heard of any media warning anyone not to visit China...Im from the US and watch news everyday... nor have I ever heard any US news say China is unsafe...Weird...where does that idea even come from? I only ever see it on RUclipsrs Titles to draw in viewers.
@@aaap3875 Because you don't usually read negative reports about China in Western media, you don't know. When you watch too much news, you will feel terrible about China.Due to political reasons, the U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for destinations in China (including Hong Kong and Macau) mentioned the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws. China is level 4 and the worst. But the reality is that China is the safest. travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/China.html
I came across your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy your videos. The views from the room were to die for 🤩. Gotta say you did well waiting all that time just to get fed but it did look well good 😋🤤
Maybe one day but I’m more for going to Singapore as was born there due to my father being based there while serving in the Royal Navy. I do love watching people that travel and you and Paige are so good to watch. Interaction with the locals is the way it should be pal 👌
The afternoon tea provided by the hotel is a kind of dessert. I think it should be bird's nest and white fungus soup, or something like that. It is a kind of dessert that nourishes the yin and nourishes the skin. It is very helpful for women to maintain a youthful appearance and keep the body energetic. Paige should eat this dessert more often and eat less fast food. She is very lively and cheerful. I like your videos. ❤️❤️
Those dessert the hotel offers is white mushrooms! Really good for skin beauty and digestion. I cook once a month at home for myself and my two girls. I cook it with goji berry ( good for eyes and skin)， jujube (red dates) and dried longan fruit. ( Sometimes with lotus seeds too if i want it extra fancy). It used to be premium dessert back in the old days, but it's very common and popular now due to its enoumous health benefits.
I like you very much, you have a desire to explore, you can fit in well with the local area, you are very respectful of the local people's life, very polite, not full of prejudice and arrogance like most foreign tourists who come to China, you show the real China, which is completely different from what the Western media reports, it is unbelievable
yunnan is also the most attractive place to visit!there are plenty of beautiful natural landscapes and unique cultural which is don’t exist in other places in china!
You’re both amazing for what you do. These video’s are so entertaining. Keep up great work. You both always make me laugh! ❤ You guys should come and visit the Isle of Man TT it one of the most dangerous motorsports in the world. 🌍
Hey Nicola, thank you very much for continuing to enjoy the videos, we really appreciate it! We have never been to the island of man so that would be really cool!
成都人来说一句，重庆火锅重麻重辣，是很正宗的，但是不能吃辣的就点微微辣加鸳鸯锅就好了，太辣了什么味道都吃不出来，除了辣还是辣😂 too much chili would cover all the taste and flavor of food, and may cause stomachache. I always choose the two-flavor hot pot, with slightly spicy, and boil vegetables in the not spicy part, boil meat in the spicy part, also add some oyster sauce and vinegar in the mixed sauce to reduce the spicy feeling, I really wished someone can help you to really enjoy the hot pot😅 Thanks for your video❤
Hello 👋🏻 Because you arrived in Chongqing during the holiday in our country, the roads and tunnels you walked on the bridge were sealed as roads, which is unique to take care of the people who come to Chongqing during the Chinese Labor Day holiday. So there are a lot of people in the video, because Chinese people especially like to travel during the national unified holiday.❤
My English is very poor, this is my English translated through the translator, you can understand in the past. Foreign friends are very welcome to visit China 🥰
From your clothes, I can tell that you arrived in Chongqing between May 1st and 5th, which is a holiday in our country, so there are a lot of tourists in Chongqing. Usually eat hot pot will not have more than 300 people in the equal number, because this is a holiday, so there are many people.
So you have tried the legendary Chongqing hotpot. my wife told me about it when i met her fifteen years ago she was right it's hot and spicy . she also mentioned Chongqing women are hot too. I just love the culture and the food. sitting around the cauldron as it's being loaded up with all the different ingredients watching it simmer away. then dipping in with your chop sticks and enjoying the hotpot. what a lovely way to enjoy the day or evening.
@@JackAynsleyTravel the mushroom itself is bland, the sweetness comes from brown sugar. in the US, we call it white fungus, it's incredibly nutritious, which i why it's used as chinese medicine, it's full of collagens, you two should eat more 😍
White mushrooms is priced for the collagen content which maintains beauty and youthfulness of the skin aka it has ant-aging benefits for the skin and joints.
Welcome to my hometown, Jiangsu, the province with the best economy in China. The 13 cities in this province are fiercely competitive, each believing itself to be the best in the province. Recommend visiting Suzhou's gardens, Wuxi's Lingshan Giant Buddha, Changzhou's Dinosaur Park, and Yangzhou's Slender West Lake. Try Suzhou-style Dim sum, squirrel mandarin fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, Dongpo Braised Pork, lion's head, crab roe bun, and Wonton. These are all unique flavors in China, as most regions in China prefer spicy dishes, with only a few areas eschewing spicy food. The preference for sweet dishes in southern Jiangsu is particularly distinctive.
I don't advise people who rarely eat spicy food to eat spicy food all of a sudden. You may get very sick because your body is not accustomed. Touchwood. Should eat them moderately then increase the intake gradually.
One of the better vlogers. Started watching few months bk, Now one of my get goes. Your good like your style, Keep up the good work not be long before your mill
Have you heard of the ex air raid shelters that have been repurposed as art galleries or restaurant or tea house? Try to find your way into one and please share the location in your video. So far, no foreign tourist vlogger has posted their adventure in one of them.
Dude,, the sesame oil on the table is the main dipping ingredient, which seems you didn't try at all 😅. . The most popular dipping sauce is half a bowl of sesame oil, a quarter of a bowl of garlic, and an eighth of oyster sauce.....Sesame oil makes food more fragrant and reduces spiciness..
51:08 Pork only need to get to 62˚C/145˚F and it's sliced so thin for hot pot in boiling beef tallow at is 215˚C/420˚F it literally takes less than 20 seconds to thorougly overcook your meat. If you really want to enjoy the meat, don't overcook it. China has some of the highest quality meat in the world. Their meat is fresh. Chinese are traditionally raised on fresh meat, they know the difference and would expect nothing less.
15:08 "Too much CHongQing spicy food SOS button". 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 33:44 What the heck, both traditional and futuristic. 48:50 Lotus root, also one of my favorite 😋😋😋

@@JackAynsleyTravel People's WeChat cheak in queues in real time by scanning the QR code on the booking ticket. Not eating at popular restaurants after 8pm on holidays and weekends. 😈
@@JackAynsleyTravel This is the best reward for patient people
You are very brave. Despite all warnings from the medias not to take ‘risk’ coming to China , you did it.There are particularly many foreigners in CHONGQING, which proves China's security.
It was worth every risk, it’s completely blown my mind!
China is one of the safest countries in the world, there is almost no theft and robbery, and don't worry about cameras, there are many cameras on the streets of China, but they are for public safety, as long as you don't break the law, no one will interfere with your travel. Please do not believe that the Western media's reports on China are basically political and untrue. Come to China and see for yourself, you will know how hypocritical the Western media is.
Ive never heard of any media warning anyone not to visit China...Im from the US and watch news everyday... nor have I ever heard any US news say China is unsafe...Weird...where does that idea even come from? I only ever see it on RUclipsrs Titles to draw in viewers.
@@aaap3875 Because you don't usually read negative reports about China in Western media, you don't know. When you watch too much news, you will feel terrible about China.Due to political reasons, the U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for destinations in China (including Hong Kong and Macau) mentioned the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws. China is level 4 and the worst. But the reality is that China is the safest.

I came across your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy your videos. The views from the room were to die for 🤩. Gotta say you did well waiting all that time just to get fed but it did look well good 😋🤤
Hey mate thank you very much! So glad you’re enjoying them! Are you thinking of travelling to China?
Maybe one day but I’m more for going to Singapore as was born there due to my father being based there while serving in the Royal Navy. I do love watching people that travel and you and Paige are so good to watch. Interaction with the locals is the way it should be pal 👌
U guys made a good decision, this restuarant is almost the best hot pot resuarant in Chongqing!
The afternoon tea provided by the hotel is a kind of dessert. I think it should be bird's nest and white fungus soup, or something like that. It is a kind of dessert that nourishes the yin and nourishes the skin. It is very helpful for women to maintain a youthful appearance and keep the body energetic. Paige should eat this dessert more often and eat less fast food. She is very lively and cheerful. I like your videos. ❤️❤️
Those dessert the hotel offers is white mushrooms! Really good for skin beauty and digestion. I cook once a month at home for myself and my two girls. I cook it with goji berry ( good for eyes and skin)， jujube (red dates) and dried longan fruit. ( Sometimes with lotus seeds too if i want it extra fancy). It used to be premium dessert back in the old days, but it's very common and popular now due to its enoumous health benefits.
not mushroom. fungus.
Highly suggest you guys to do the sky walk on top of the Raffles center, could be the most unique and exciting experience
Oh wow that would be amazing but I’m not sure we could have gone during the public holiday! We were going to stay there first but it was sold out!
I like you very much, you have a desire to explore, you can fit in well with the local area, you are very respectful of the local people's life, very polite, not full of prejudice and arrogance like most foreign tourists who come to China, you show the real China, which is completely different from what the Western media reports, it is unbelievable
yunnan is also the most attractive place to visit!there are plenty of beautiful natural landscapes and unique cultural which is don’t exist in other places in china!
Because of you two guys, I haven’t felt asleep until now 2.50 in the morning, despite I’ve been to all the places you visited in China. 😂
18:30, they are dessert soup made with white fungus, goji berry, dry longan, red dates and cane sugar, full of collagen and soothing your lung ❤❤❤
Actually, '吃了吗‘（Chi Le ma) is rarely used in my daily life as a Chinese now. By the way, good trip!
haha I can't stop saying it! I hope you enjoy watching the video
That's why most people don't respond to him. In fact. I don't like hearing a stranger say that to me.
Just say nihao :) chi le ma is now mostly only used on the countryside within acquittances
"吃了吗″这种问候只在朋友或熟人之间使用而且大多数是北方地区，陌生人问别人″吃了吗″或″你好吗″是非常不礼貌的。″你好吗″是疑问句，表示你问的人可能并不健康。通常和别人打招呼直接说″你好″或″Hello"更好
so embarrassing to watch actually but everyone is happy after all
You’re both amazing for what you do. These video’s are so entertaining. Keep up great work. You both always make me laugh! ❤ You guys should come and visit the Isle of Man TT it one of the most dangerous motorsports in the world. 🌍
Hey Nicola, thank you very much for continuing to enjoy the videos, we really appreciate it! We have never been to the island of man so that would be really cool!
@@JackAynsleyTravel You are both very welcome! ❤️❤️
That serves in the bowl of the afternoon tea should be a dessert 雪茸糖水
謝謝！
老哥大气
成都人来说一句，重庆火锅重麻重辣，是很正宗的，但是不能吃辣的就点微微辣加鸳鸯锅就好了，太辣了什么味道都吃不出来，除了辣还是辣😂 too much chili would cover all the taste and flavor of food, and may cause stomachache. I always choose the two-flavor hot pot, with slightly spicy, and boil vegetables in the not spicy part, boil meat in the spicy part, also add some oyster sauce and vinegar in the mixed sauce to reduce the spicy feeling, I really wished someone can help you to really enjoy the hot pot😅 Thanks for your video❤
You’ll be up the rest of the night after eating that type of food so late!
Omg the food was worth the wait.
Yessss!!! It was so so tasty
Beautiful video
Thank you!❤️
You guys doesn’t sound like from UK🇬🇧
~ sounds like from a Country where leprechauns are breed…🤭🤭
Hello 👋🏻 Because you arrived in Chongqing during the holiday in our country, the roads and tunnels you walked on the bridge were sealed as roads, which is unique to take care of the people who come to Chongqing during the Chinese Labor Day holiday. So there are a lot of people in the video, because Chinese people especially like to travel during the national unified holiday.❤
My English is very poor, this is my English translated through the translator, you can understand in the past. Foreign friends are very welcome to visit China 🥰
From your clothes, I can tell that you arrived in Chongqing between May 1st and 5th, which is a holiday in our country, so there are a lot of tourists in Chongqing. Usually eat hot pot will not have more than 300 people in the equal number, because this is a holiday, so there are many people.
So you have tried the legendary Chongqing hotpot. my wife told me about it when i met her fifteen years ago she was right it's hot and spicy . she also mentioned Chongqing women are hot too. I just love the culture and the food. sitting around the cauldron as it's being loaded up with all the different ingredients watching it simmer away. then dipping in with your chop sticks and enjoying the hotpot. what a lovely way to enjoy the day or evening.
I’m sweating just watching you tuck into that spicy noodle at the end!
that's a dessert in your afternoon tea plate, it's made of white mushrooms, goji berries and dates. it's a chinese delicacy.
White mushrooms? I’ve never had sweet mushrooms before?
@@JackAynsleyTravel the mushroom itself is bland, the sweetness comes from brown sugar. in the US, we call it white fungus, it's incredibly nutritious, which i why it's used as chinese medicine, it's full of collagens, you two should eat more 😍
White mushrooms is priced for the collagen content which maintains beauty and youthfulness of the skin aka it has ant-aging benefits for the skin and joints.
incredible city
It so is😍
Welcome to my hometown, Jiangsu, the province with the best economy in China. The 13 cities in this province are fiercely competitive, each believing itself to be the best in the province. Recommend visiting Suzhou's gardens, Wuxi's Lingshan Giant Buddha, Changzhou's Dinosaur Park, and Yangzhou's Slender West Lake. Try Suzhou-style Dim sum, squirrel mandarin fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, Dongpo Braised Pork, lion's head, crab roe bun, and Wonton. These are all unique flavors in China, as most regions in China prefer spicy dishes, with only a few areas eschewing spicy food. The preference for sweet dishes in southern Jiangsu is particularly distinctive.
Zaberdast bro.choging is nice city.night view very attractive
Yess!! It was so great
Enjoy your video.cannot stop
Enjoyed your video so much!
I don't advise people who rarely eat spicy food to eat spicy food all of a sudden. You may get very sick because your body is not accustomed. Touchwood. Should eat them moderately then increase the intake gradually.
We eat spicy food everyday! Don’t worry about us haha we like it hot 🥵
That telescope was pointed towards free standing bath of another apartment building!
Hahaha, I hope nobody was looking at my freestanding bath 👀
Haha maybe someone was viewing your freestanding parts and now your body parts are famous on TikTok 😂😂😂
😅😅😂😂😂这对情侣非常有意思。非常接地气❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your observation
I am a Chinese and I don't even know that Chongqing got such good hotel at only 100 Dollars. I really want to spend a night there.
That's funny. The taxi is looking for you too. You should meet at a numbered stand and wait.
The bowl of warm dessert is the highest value food, while the other breads and shachima are snacks mainly made of wheat or flour.
As soon as I saw the ingredients in the hotpot.. and mentioning the black peppercorn... I had that taste of numbing in my mouth lol!!
One of the better vlogers.
Started watching few months bk,
Now one of my get goes.
Your good like your style,
Keep up the good work not be long before your mill
24:20 my mate knew what hes doing lmao
Have you heard of the ex air raid shelters that have been repurposed as art galleries or restaurant or tea house? Try to find your way into one and please share the location in your video. So far, no foreign tourist vlogger has posted their adventure in one of them.
May 1 Labor Day holiday was busy in street, a lot of people!! 😮
Dude,, the sesame oil on the table is the main dipping ingredient, which seems you didn't try at all 😅. . The most popular dipping sauce is half a bowl of sesame oil, a quarter of a bowl of garlic, and an eighth of oyster sauce.....Sesame oil makes food more fragrant and reduces spiciness..
他那老婆给他倒的不知是一碗酱油还是醋，有意思😂
51:08 Pork only need to get to 62˚C/145˚F and it's sliced so thin for hot pot in boiling beef tallow at is 215˚C/420˚F it literally takes less than 20 seconds to thorougly overcook your meat. If you really want to enjoy the meat, don't overcook it. China has some of the highest quality meat in the world. Their meat is fresh. Chinese are traditionally raised on fresh meat, they know the difference and would expect nothing less.
15:08 "Too much CHongQing spicy food SOS button". 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
33:44 What the heck, both traditional and futuristic.
48:50 Lotus root, also one of my favorite 😋😋😋
