Summary
In this episode, Tom is back in the United Kingdom and gives his first proper update after returning home. He talks about picking up his new mother-of-pearl white Volkswagen Golf and how smooth and sharp it drives. He also reflects on adjusting back to British roads after weeks of driving in America. Tom shares his plans for a trip to China at the end of August with his friend Alex, taking advantage of the current visa-free travel. He’s looking forward to seeing the Great Wall, Hong Kong, and the Terracotta Army. A relaxed, casual start to Season 5 as the virtual diary continues.
