The road to Ba Sing Se was an interesting one. Village after village and town after town began to pop up as their journey brought them closer to the heart of the Earth Kingdom. Every so often they would stop in a town to rest or eat or refuel. The first part of the road trip was somewhat familiar to Kasai as far as culture and traditions go. Seeing as Republic City and the United Republic used to be Earth territory itself, she could recognize things that had been passed along from the Earth Kingdom people to the mixed population of the UR. 

As they got further into earth territory the scenery started to change. Far different from the bustle of the city she was used to, a more agricultural tone took over the landscape. It was interesting to her to see how life was outside of the city. It seemed that the technologies developed by companies like Future Industries and Cabbage Corp. were helping them, but the majority of it looked like good ol' hard work and sweat. Kasai respected that, the fact that what they had came from their own hands and not some machine. She figured things might become more industrial again as they got closer to Ba Sing Se, but then again she had never been there. 

They probably could have made it to Ba Sing Se much quicker had they been a little more focused in their travels. However, Kasai insisted on doing a little exploring every time they stopped, even to just take a look around a small village or have a walk through the woods. She didn't decide to up and leave her life to travel to be stuck on the back of a motorcycle the whole time. Kasai knew she was probably getting on Avani's nerves with the requests, but she figured she could make it up to her later. 

Finally they neared the capital city of the Earth Kingdom. Kasai's jaw dropped as the massive walls surrounding the city spread out for miles around them. She knew that Ba Sing Se was famous for its great walls that protected the city, but she never imagined they would be so impressive. The photographs she had seen did not do it justice. 

"Whoa." She muttered, maybe louder than she had intended to. She held on tight as her girlfriend drove them down the road to enter the city. It was rather busy, many other vehicles clogging up the roadway. Not too surprising, because from what Kasai could tell, Ba Sing Se was practically the size of a small country. They neared the walls and after proper inspection and whatnot, they were allowed to enter with the other cleared vehicles. Kasai looked up as they passed through the massive barrier and entered the city. 

"Alright. Consider me impressed." She said, looking around now at what lay within the walls. "Where to now, oh mighty tour guide?" She said with a smile. Even though it had been a long time since Avani had even been to Ba Sing Se, Kasai was sure she probably already had a few destinations picked out. Kasai now wondered what kind of fun, or trouble, they could find for themselves while they were here.
