Man, remembering some of the older Xiaoma videos always makes me smile. It's awesome to see how far the channel has come, with these super polished setups like the rap battle or surprising the museum guard with Ancient Egyptian. But who else misses some of those earlier, simpler challenges? I'm talking about the ones where it was just him walking around NYC, trying to order food in a new language, or just having casual conversations with strangers. It felt a bit more spontaneous, you know? Not that I don't love the current content, but there was a charm to those raw interactions. Anyone remember the video where he tried to speak *insert a less common language, e.g., Tagalog* to street vendors, or those early Mandarin lessons? Good times!
