One of the best parts of traveling to different countries is making friends along the way. It's always a delightful surprise to meet locals from other countries you've visited. They take pride in showing you hidden gems, taking you to the best spots, and treating you to scrumptious meals at local joints that only they know about. Since Valentino arrived during the Christmas and New Year seasons, firstly he cross the border from Xinjiang province coming from unforgettable trips in Kazakhstan. From the uniqueness of Xinjiang. While here, local buddies took him to a Xinjiang hot pot restaurant, where they casually indulged in the food without keeping count. He wondered how they would calculate the bill. Turns out, they had a clever trick they counted the wooden skewers to determine the exact amount to charge. How genius!
A few days later, he jump on a totally unknown trip toward the capital Beijing or Pekin. He had the chance to ring in the Christmas holidays with friends from all corners of the globe, right here in Beijing. They spent the night not just eating and drinking, but also discussing happiness and inspiring each other to pursue their own true happiness. During the Christmas speech, Vale took the opportunity to remind them to break limits because, after all, limits exist only in our minds. He sent a message to free the mind, body, and soul.
While Chinese tradition involves cleaning the house on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month to symbolize a fresh start, Valentino decided to do it before Christmas for a similar reason. However, it didn't go smoothly, as he shares his house with four cats who weren't exactly supportive of his well-intentioned cleaning efforts. They spent incredible new year moments together and stepped into 2015 together. Meanwhile capturing all the fun moments with his camera, Vale and his new friends sent Happy New Year messages to their loved ones and people all around the world, but right at the same time a huge tragedy happened in Shanghai during the New Year in the main square where too many people attended the final countdown. Hundred of deaths due to the overload of people and another reason to remind us we could have been there, if not decided to stay home and party. What a life right?

Welcome to China!
