00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.800
<v Speaker 3>The two exchanged a glance, thinking that this must be

<v Speaker 3>the place to buy ice cream tamon Gien darla du de.

97

103
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 3>cream required a talk, but they didn't think much of

104
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:34.279

112
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.199
<v Speaker 3>Ming and Lee looked at each other perplexed, but decided

113
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.160
<v Speaker 3>to follow the instructions first, thinking maybe it was a

114
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 3>new experience, possibly a preparation for ice cream.

00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 3>The guide continued, Ninda now zili li kufu sienchu la moucha,

120
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 3>Ming's mind, the flavors of matcha, strawberry and chocolate ice

121
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 3>cream immediately appeared.

123
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.759

124
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:56.559

126
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 3>The surrounding tourists turned their heads, and upon hearing Ming's words,

127
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 3>they all laughed.

130
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.720
<v Speaker 3>The guide looked shocked at the meditator who suddenly broke

131
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.559
<v Speaker 3>the serenity Li.

134
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Lee struggled to hold back his laughter, padded Ming on

135
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 3>the shoulder and whispered, I think we got it wrong.

137
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 3>After the meditation session ended, the guide smiled and thanked

138
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 3>everyone for participating.

141
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 3>But Ming and Lee had faces full of confusion. Where

142
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 3>was the ice cream.

143
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:08.519

145
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 3>They finally realized it was a misunderstanding. They had mistaken

146
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 3>a meditation session for an ice cream line.

147
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Yah hussin can kat zehury ha ha da sell.

148
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 3>The two looked at each other and couldn't help but

149
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.440
<v Speaker 3>burst out laughing.

150
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Calai women desi can ti la nin shua.

151
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.759
<v Speaker 3>Looks like we need to pay more attention to the signs.
