万花筒 2009-02-14&02-16 102天，吃遍全世界（在线收听）

There is nothing like trying a food that you’ve really never had anything like before.

"Gorgeous! Thank you so much."

 It’s kind of a really exciting experience, I think.

Hi. My name is Noah and I decided to eat food from a different country every day in a row for as long as I could. It went for a really long time, and I’m really full now.

I've lived up all my whole life in LA and to find out that there is this much that I have never discovered is in one way really disappointing coz I guess I should have found it earlier, but also really liberating and exciting, just to know that there is that much and there is that much more still to find.

 "Oh, mine!"

 It would be thoroughly disorderly to come up with a set of rules that I thought would be that useful to abide by. The prerequisite was no days off. So, you know, you gotta really do it everyday. Weekends count too. You gotta just, You know, every single day.

You know on Day 85, when you are getting Israeli food on Pico near our house, we are just both exhausted. It took a really great meal to pull you out of that exhaustion. When you have just, you know, good meals or mediocre, or even worse, bad meals, it really, you know, it kinda zaps energy out of you.  It makes you wonder why you're doing it again.

As someone who is not a trained foodie, or actual foodie, there are times, I was just like, “Can we please talk about something else?”. Consistency of these noodles is fine.

Some days, it’s just Jackie-my girlfriend-and I, and some days it’s 8 to 10 to 15 people. For a China day actually, there were about 20 or 25 of us travelling all around San Gabriel Valley, going to 11 different places.

You know, a lot of people are quick to look at my website as a restaurant review website. It’s really not about restaurant reviews. It’s about the experience. You are doing a real review for a newspaper, you go multiple times, you check for consistency, you order the same thing one hundred times. And you really kind of get a feel to do over a trend to the restaurant on a night-to-night basis. This is about more experience. It’s… You know, they can have an awful night, you can have an awful night. And when you really go for the first time you will pledge to us. Actually a place like this is just so exciting because you really don’t know what’s gonna happen and you don’t know what the foods in the bill, how it’s gonna be, so part of the fun is just kind of waiting.

That it ended up Day 102 is really just a testament to “How amazing!”.

Well, I think it could have technically gone on longer if the rule about cash had not been enforced by me.
