It's impressive how C-Milk and Commander Shepard are able to sneak in an out of China so fast, then do a podcast, safely out of the country. Great work!
I remember these vids from years ago, so happy even if it’s a rerun, please keep posting the Moto vids
As a Taiwanese I can say that is definitely not a Temple. The whole building is an old house for a big family of probably over 20 people, and what's in the back-middle is the ancestral hall of the family.
Feels like a repost/recycled content..
"The number 13 may be associated with some famous but undesirable dinner guests. In Norse mythology, the god Loki was 13th to arrive at a feast in Valhalla, where he tricked another attendee into killing the god Baldur. In Christianity, Judas - the apostle who betrayed Jesus - was the 13th guest at the Last Supper."
A superstition that I grew up with in the UK was... Don't accept the third light from a match when you are lighting your cigarette.... It supposedly comes from the war where a sniper would see the match spark up and watch it go to the second man so he could line up and shoot the third. I know a lot of older men swore by it and would blow it out before it got to them if the guy with the match forgot to.
I remember watching these kind of videos YEARS ago when I first found this channel. Is it possible for you guys to do something similar in the US?
13 is unlucky for a couple of reasons - firstly, because that's how many were at the Last Supper, secondly is because it's associated with the moon in a primarily solar culture - 13 lunar months in a year, vs 12 solar months - it's the symbolism in the Sleeping Beauty story - the King invited the 12 wise women, but spurned the 13th (symbolising embracing a solar value over a lunar), the 13th was the one who laid the curse..they're the two main reasons for 'unlucky 13'...
Old school vid! ❤
Would love to see you guys riding bikes again like the old days. I don't care what country you do it in. Could be Thailand. Could be Mexico. Could be Philippines. Could be USA. It doesn't matter. I just want to see new videos of you guys exploring the world again.
Can confirm that there are temples everywhere in Taiwan! I have at least 5 ornate temples within a kilometer of my apartment.
This it the type of content I subscribed to this channel for.

Man I miss adv china from back in the day. Thanks for posting this blast from the past!
i remember this one. videos like this are what got me watching you guys back in the day!
Mirrors used silver for the reflective coating, hence why vampires (and I'd assume other monsters as well) were supposed to not have a reflection (it would purify the light to say).
Number 13, one of the potential reasons: On a Friday the 13th in medieval times in Europe (October 13th, 1307), the Knights Templar were destroyed by French King Philip IV with the support of the Vatican. Rome saw them as dangerous and competition, the French king was broke and needed money. So his armies sacked all the Templar holdings, took all the gold and gave the prisoners to the church for torture to get false confessions.
I missed these videos so much. It’s depressing to think how you’re guys lives were basically destroyed in front of us.. just glad you made it out together
This one just feels like a blast from the past, seeing the ancient buildings is thrilling but tragic how few are left. It’s those kind of buildings everyone is interested to learn and experience the Chinese culture.
