This is How Locals Treat You in Chongqing, China

This is How Locals Treat You in Chongqing, China

This place is so cool. What is this place? I don’t know. We got this—. Xièxiè. Oh, nǐ hǎo. She said, “Welcome to China.” Oh, did she really? Oh, that was 
so sweet. I didn’t realize it. “I watch your video.” Oh, no kidding. Thank you so much. Okay. Okay. Yes. Yes. You’re welcome. 
Thank you so much. Bye. Everyone has been so incredibly kind. Hello. Nǐ hǎo. They said our pronunciation 
was terrible last time. It probably is. But nǐ hǎo We are on the other side of 
the bridge on…where are we? We’re on a pedestrian street. It’s where the locals come. Yeah, it looks like just a big awesome mall. But   we had some shopping to do 
and it’s cold and rainy out. We were going to put this in our main video, 
but we decided because it’s cold and rainy out,   we had to come here anyways to 
get whatever Ashley needs to get. Makeup. To be fair, it’s been a long time 
since the last time you bought makeup. Yeah, I’m looking crusty. 
I need to not look crusty. Get out of here. You look beautiful. In any event, so we had to come out here 
anyways, and we’re probably going to use   this as an opportunity to grab some food at 
a part of town we wouldn’t see otherwise. Yeah. Yeah. So let’s go inside. It’s cold out. It’s my favorite store ever. Oh my god. It’s right there. 
It’s literally right here. It’s literally right here. That means we can leave 
immediately afterwards, right? No. Wait, we don’t have to shop though,   cuz you’ve already put everything in your 
cart online. You just need a gift card. I want to shop. Ooh, look how fancy. I wonder—can you try stuff 
like you can in the States? Hello, nǐ hǎo. So that was overwhelming. We walked into 
the Sephora store and literally before I had stepped in two feet, there were 
realistically probably five or six— Four.
Five? I think it was like four people at the 
beginning, but then like two more people   came from the back and swarmed us and were just 
asking if we needed anything or whatever. Yeah. And I had a couple of questions. Basically, 
I tried to use the Sephora mini app in WeChat to place an order because I wanted 
to get some anti-aging skincare cuz, like I said, I’m feeling crusty. Anyway, I 
had tried to order it through the mini app, but it wouldn’t accept my international credit 
card, which is really frustrating. So I had the   idea of, “Oh, I can purchase a gift card 
in store and then pay with a gift card.” The reason that I didn’t want to buy it in 
store is because there were a bunch of free   gifts you got when you purchased through 
the mini app. And regardless of that, they didn’t even have the product in stock. So 
it was a little bit frustrating, but I got all that settled. We were able to translate and 
they kind of dispersed. But then I was like,   okay, I’m going to look around for a 
little bit, but they just all followed me. And I’m an introvert, so that’s really 
overwhelming for me. In the States,   one of my favorite things is going into Sephora 
and just kind of playing with the samples, figuring out what colors I want to use, 
seeing what looks good on my skin tone.   And I just felt like I couldn’t do that because 
they were all right behind me every step I took. So I got a little bit overwhelmed and 
we ended up leaving without anything. And I’m really disappointed because I 
was very, very excited to get the things I’m used to back home. I’ve been without 
them for so long. But it is what it is. Now we are at Sushiro, 
which always makes me happy. Yeah, conveyor belt sushi. What could be better? Yeah. So, on our main channel, we’ll typically 
eat the local food, which we love, but we saw a Sushiro just randomly and Mike’s trying to 
cheer me up. So now we’re going to have sushi. Yeah, that comes by us on a conveyor belt and you 
can order. It’s great. This is the best place. I love it. It’s cheap, but it’s good, and they’ve 
got all the stuff that I like, so I’m happy. Except for gyoza. I wish they 
had gyoza, but that’s okay. We have so many dumplings. We 
literally have dumplings all the time. That is true. But yeah, I sound like a snob cuz I’m like,   “Boohoo, I couldn’t get makeup.” But 
I was just looking forward to it. You don’t sound like a snob at all. You sound like 
someone who wanted a shopping experience where it   wasn’t like Pac-Man.
Yeah. It was like Pac-Man. She was walking through 
the aisles and as she was walking through,   all of the people—oh, please take an order. Ah, yay. Food has arrived. We’ve got our sushi. Yeah. Nice. That looks delicious. Now I need wasabi. Mm. There’s little packets. [Please pick up your order] Gladly. We got some shrimp. Tempura shrimp. 
Those look good. Oh, here’s your wasabi. There’s my wasabi. And then do you want whatever this is? I don’t know. What is this? Uh, I don’t know. We’ll find out.
Yeah. So, we have more food. What is this? This is a beef sukiyaki. Oh. It’s gonna all off that plate. Nah. One of my favorite things about Sushiro is 
they’ve always got the chef recommendations. When we were in Thailand, they had a fried 
chicken sushi, and it’s so Americanized, but it was delicious. They also had a burger 
sushi, which you know we had to try both of those. Yeah. And they were actually really good. And so I don’t know if this is local or 
not. Sukiyaki reminds me of Thailand, but… Sure does. It sounds good. So we didn’t actually go through 
the whole menu. The menu is way bigger than the   one that we’ve seen in Thailand. And so I’m 
excited to kind of like go through and see, but they put an order limit on you, so you can 
only order three plates at a time, or actually,   I guess we got four plates at a time. You can 
only order four. Um, so figure we’ll start here. But I’m definitely interested to see—they’ve got 
like King crab, you could do like a whole plate of crab if you wanted to. They’ve got like um raw 
horsemeat sushi, which I’ve never heard of before. Uh foie gras, which I never feel good about 
eating foie gras. I’ve never actually tried it,   but I haven’t tried it for a reason. And then 
they give you matcha tea, which is kind of cool. I don’t think you put enough matcha in it. You don’t think I put enough matcha in it? It’s like water with hints of grass. That’s basically what matcha is. So, yeah. What do you want to try first? Uh, I am making my super wasabi 
soy sauce mixture that I love. Let me show you guys. He put 
so much wasabi in this thing. Yeah. Wee! Oh, you can’t really 
see it, but it’s in there. I feel like you’ll be able to see it. 
Look at all those lovely chunks of wasabi. Gross. It’s so good. I don’t like it. But yeah, 
so this is our—uh—our spread right here. So, one of the things to do in this part of town 
um that we’re in that I forget the name of is, uh, the locals really like to eat hot pot 
is what I’ve heard. And there’s, I guess,   a bridge that has a ton of restaurants 
and it’s like kind of cool. Um, it’s been compared to Jiefangbei. 
I hope I’m saying that right. Um,   but it’s—it’s the more local kind of 
favorite from what I understand. But um yeah, so we should realistically not eat too much here 
and then go get hot pot where the locals go. That’ll probably be fun, too. But we’ll—we’ll see. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to 
it, cuz t’s very rare that we eat sushi, and so when I eat sushi, I’m usually like— “Give me all the sushi.” Yeah. Look how good this looks. For like affordable, 
just basic—basic sushi, I just—I love Sushiro. It’s probably like blasphemy to like 
this, but I just think it’s so good. It’s definitely not top quality sushi, I’m sure. But honestly, we’ve been to fancier 
restaurants and had worse quality sushi, so… That is also true, but never in like Japan. No. We go get sushi in Vietnam and we go to 
like a nice sushi restaurant in Hanoi, and it’s like, well, of course, maybe 
Sushiro is a little bit better. Maybe   not. I don’t know. But Sushiro never disappoints. I don’t know how interesting this is 
going to be for the rest of the duration,   but I’m going to eat this tempura shrimp boy. All right, so we won’t bore you with our sushi.   We’re going to finish eating and then 
we’ll go explore this little part of town. And by the time we come back, I 
promise I’ll know how to say it. Bye. Sushiro was delicious. And now we’re at arguably the 
coolest 3D screen we’ve seen. Oh, wow. Yeah, that is super cool and very big. That’s the biggest one we’ve seen. Whaaa! We’re in a traffic jam. Definitely the biggest. Yeah, every time I see them at this point, I don’t 
really get excited for them because I don’t know. It’s a big TV. My ADHD makes me really bored while 
I’m looking at these things if I’m being honest. That one’s cool. Yeah…all right, let’s see what it does. 
This one looks like it could be cool. Nah, it’s pretty, but it’s not 
like 3D. We’re 3D screen snobs now. Sure is a giant television. Oh, we promised you we would know the street 
name, and we do. It’s called Guanyinqiao. Guanyinqiao. Pedestrian street. Pedestrian street. And I think we’re on it right 
now. Yeah, we’re on it right now. Look at the buildings. See, I think the buildings   are more impressive than the TV 
screens. Like, look at this thing. Oo, we’re going to get copywritten. We better 
run. Oh, yeah. Speaking of like cool buildings,   so we’re on the 46th—45th floor in our um 
hotel that we’re staying at. Nǐ hǎo, hello. Everyone’s super funny. They were just like— But uh—we’re staying on the 40th—45th floor 
at our hotel, which I think is the highest up that we’ve ever been. And the view is so cool. 
We can see what we imagine are twin towers. We   don’t know if they’re actually twins or not. And 
we can see the Yangze River. And it’s just really, really beautiful. We probably won’t show it to you 
in this video because it’ll be nighttime by the   time we get back, um and our room’s really messy. 
But we’re going to get our room clean tomorrow, and we’ll show it to you probably in the next 
video. So, subscribe if you haven’t already. My eye’s watering. It looks like I’m crying. 
I promise I’m not just so emotional today. Cuz of the makeup. It’s cuz of the makeup. We really have 
no agenda for what we’re doing right   now. Our agenda was to go shopping 
for Ashley. Here’s a cool pepper. Oh, and I think that’s the park right 
there. Maybe not. It’s pretty though. Oh,   the lights are starting to come on. Oh, are they? Is that the park? I think so. It just looks like it’s part of 
the mall. Park looks much bigger. Yeah. No, it does, doesn’t it? 
This is the park. Park entrance,   and then it goes around. But yeah. 
Let’s go. Let’s go walk around. This is a very misty, drizzly, 
gray day out right now. There’s not a whole lot going on. I bet it’ll 
look cool when the lights come on,   but who knows when that’ll happen. Six o’clock 
on the nose right now. So probably right now. Oh, I thought the lights came on. They didn’t. They’re gonna come on. They’re about to. You think? Yeah. I saw those ones back there come on. Look at the garden. Are they fake? Yeah. Yeah, those are fake for sure. I wonder if it says don’t touch. 
Oh, electric. Do not touch. Yeah. Electric? I don’t know. I want to touch 
them so bad cuz it says I can’t. You want to touch them because it says you can’t. Yes. They just look like—like they 
look like wax or plastic, I guess. It reminds me of Alice in 
Wonderland and like the roses. The rose garden. Yeah. It does—it’s interesting. Oh, 
yeah. So these must all light up, I bet. All of them. Oh, yeah, 
they’re all connected with wires. It looks like it. Yo, if all of the roses light up, that’ll be cool. That will be cool. As soon as we turn 
our camera off, they’ll go bling! For sure. Look at these 
buildings, though. Like, yeah… Chongqing is kind of cool. I honestly—like 
at first I wasn’t sure if I liked it, but after being here for a couple of days, I do. I think you didn’t really 
like the area we were in. Yeah, I agree with that. It was like a really 
cool area because we were in the like warehouse   district in like Chaotianmen, which was so, 
so cool to see like—I don’t know—like such a local spot, but as far as like wanting to be in 
the center of the action, it was not far away, but you know, whatever. And so this is kind of 
cool from like being a tourist. We’re just like plop in the middle, at least in Jiefangbei. But 
I think more than anything I don’t like the cold. Yeah. Now you just want to get south 
as fast as possible. And you were   the one trying to get us to like go more north. Well, you know, funny story. So, I 
literally—what’s my watch saying? My   watch is like, “Go that way.” Um yeah. Today 
I literally was looking at train tickets to Harbin because I’m still like going back 
and forth. It’s like a 40-plus hour train journey from Chongqing to Harbin, and I was 
looking at business class cuz I was like,   “Ooh, what if we did business class?” It’s 
like 45 hours on a business class train, and um they’re like almost $350, probably 
$350 per person after tax. And I was like— It’s actually not that bad. I’m like, honestly, it’s not that bad. 
And it’d be like a cool video concept. And we’ve done like 24 hours on a bus before, 
and that actually did really well for us   um on our main channel like way back when 
we were new over there. But again, we just don’t have the proper clothes, and I just don’t 
know if I want to be on a train for 45 hours. I left Alaska because I didn’t want to be in minus 
30. I don’t know that I want to go spend a bunch of money, buy a bunch of clothes I’m never 
going to wear again just to go to Harbin now. So, our plan right now—because we really do want 
to go to Harbin and see the ice festival—but our   plan now is to go and see other parts of the 
country and then come back to China later on, like as the fall is happening, see like the 
northern and northwestern parts of China,   and make our way across the 
northern part of the country, and then finish that trip at Harbin for the 
ice festival as like the finale. And I feel like that’d be such a better way to see 
it than going and like half-assing it now. Yeah, I agree. Because then we can like come with just enough 
gear to do that trip. We’re not lugging a   bunch of stuff that we don’t need to carry 
around. I think it just makes way more sense. This is a cool little bridge. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Jialing Park. Jialing. I love all the parks in China. I do, too. I feel like that’s all I talk about in 
every single one of our videos. I’m like, “Oh, it’s dope. It’s a cool park.” 
You think I’m just like—we should do   a park channel where all we do is 
go review parks around the world. Oh, look at that floof.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, I mean– Parks and pups. That’s all we talk about. We’ve never—and we were never park people 
before we started traveling, but… It’s like we were never bird 
people until we were 30. Um, so… I think we’ve left the park. 
Oh, what’s all this place? I want to know where all the 
cool hot restaurants are. Oh my goodness!
What? This is called Saltimbocca! Oh, Saltimbocca! You know that cuz you’re Italian. Yeah, it’s like a clothes store, though. Interesting. Saltimbocca means jump in your mouth in Italian, and it’s like the name of my absolute 
favorite dish that my nona always used   to make. And the last time I hung out with my 
nona, she made that dish. We made it together actually. It was absolutely delicious. So yeah, 
Saltimbocca. That’s cool. Little fun fact. All right, we’re going to figure out what 
this park is. It’s dark and I don’t—I think we’re just kind of wandering around at 
this point. Ashley’s waiting for lights. Mike, that’s what the vlog channel is. But yeah, this is like the area we’re 
at now. Got a couple of food shops. That’s a weird step. Watch yourself. Yeah. What a weird little stupidity step. I want to go up there. You want to go up there? Yeah. Why? Uh, cuz I just want to see what’s up there. Cuz why? Well, they’ve got Nikon pictures, so I wonder if 
they have a camera shop. And I’m just interested. Oh, I see. He’s always looking for camera stuff. Sounds like someone’s having a fit. I’ve noticed 
that there’s a lot of uh KTV bars here in China, and we actually went to one in a video on our main 
channel. I’m not sure if it’s—uh—it’ll probably already be out, so if you’re interested check 
that out. It was the first time I ever did KTV, and I don’t know if you should listen or not 
cuz I’m not a good singer, but it was really,   really fun. We had a good time. This is 
such a weird little stoop and uh—it’s uh kind of funny, like is it called karaoke, 
like karaoke TV, or is it like—I don’t know. I’ve never seen it called KTV before I came 
to China. I’d always just heard karaoke,   and I just wonder if there’s a reason that 
it’s not called karaoke here. I assume there probably is that I don’t know. Um, but I know 
there’s like history between China and Japan, which we’re actually going to learn about in the 
upcoming days. Um, I know that there’s a bunch of uh like bomb shelters in Chongqing that have 
been made into like—they’ve been repurposed, and so like they are restaurants and bookstores 
and that kind of thing, which I think is just so   cool. And there’s actually this tunnel that I want 
to visit that has a really—a really sad past. Um, and so I know there’s, you know, there’s history 
there. And so I just wonder if that’s why it’s not called karaoke, because it’s a Japanese word, 
or if it even is. I don’t know. Like I said, I don’t know anything. But I’m always curious 
to learn. So please tell me. Just be kind. But is that a child or—yeah, I think it’s 
a child having a fit. Not really sure. What are you doing, you sneak? Being sneaky. Way to be a creep, though. You’re as tall 
as that building. Oh, now you’re not. You’re ruining it. There you go. Now you’re as tall as 
the building. Don’t step on me. No. All right. We’re such dorks. Look at the sky. It’s so pretty. Oh, yeah. It’s like— It’s like a purple sky. Yeah. It’s like kind of blue and kind of— It looks like even prettier in the camera for 
once. Normally it looks prettier in real life. Yeah. This is a surprisingly good little camera. Yeah. I don’t love the nighttime cuz like it 
like blurs all that, but it’s pretty cool. But the thing is, that’s what would 
happen anyways. It’s just I underexpose. What’s in here? I don’t know. Is it just like the subway? Sky Square. Sky Square. Let’s see. It’s probably like an underground food court mall. Maybe. Oh wow. It’s a lot of stairs. You want to go down? Yeah, why not? Okay. What comes down must come back up though. Boo. Always. What? Just us. We got to— Xièxiè. Oh, nǐ hǎo. She said, “Welcome to China.” Oh, did she really? Oh, that was 
so sweet. I didn’t realize it. Yeah, she said it like four times. It 
took me a second to realize it, too. I didn’t realize she was talking 
to us. Oh, we’re so rude. She’s so nice. That was so sweet. Oh, where are we? I don’t know. There’s a big 
blowup professor of some sort. Oh, wow. There’s like—this is cool. 
There’s lots of plants and stuff. Yeah. Let me show you. This is cool. Yeah. Look at all this. It’s like..bonk, as 
Mike bonks me. And it goes all the way around. Nǐ hǎo. Nǐ hǎo. And then there’s this grumpy dude. Nǐ hǎo. Nǐ hǎo.
Oops, I’m getting in the way. Yeah, this place is awesome. 
Everyone’s so nice down here. Yeah, they are. I was showing 
the little boy the camera screen, so it looked wonky for a minute. That’s why—he 
was very intrigued. He was like, “What is that?” Yeah. No. Look at this little place. Oh, this is cool. You can 
get your tea if you want. Yeah. I feel like I’ve had so much Chagee, 
though, that I want something different. I know, right? I was like so 
excited about it the first time, but now that I’ve had it, I’m 
like, “I want something else.” It’s really delicious. Yo, what is China’s obsession with 
Capybaras? They’re everywhere in China. They’re—I mean, don’t get me wrong, they’re 
adorable. Oh, there’s one with paws. Mike! He’s so cute. I have no need for this, 
but I want him so bad. He’s so cute. Oh, I want a home so I can have a Capybara stuffy. Oh,   I’m about to knock them all over. They’re so 
cute. This guy’s got a little bread backpack. This one has a little backpack, too. 
Some French fries from WacDonald’s. WhackArnold’s. I’ve been there. And this little dude, not sure what he is,   but he’s cute, too. Mushrooms are always 
good. Always a fun time with mushrooms. Aw. Oh, yeah. And like the coolest dollhouses. I 
saw these—where did we see these? In Thailand for the first time, right? I never had anything 
like that growing up. I did have a cool—like a pretty cool Barbie house though, to 
be fair. But like not like this. Like   look at that. Is that supposed to be toys 
or is that just decoration? It’s so cool. I think it’s like more like collectibles. Well, I want to collect them. Oh, buggies. If we both have collection houses. Yes? Which one’s yours? Well, I’m just saying like if we both 
had collections like in our house, we would have so much stuff. Yeah.
It’d be such a cluttered place. Yeah. These are bookshelves. I know. Little book ends? Yeah. You stick them in the 
middle so that you—you fill up   a book space. And you have Romantic 
Venice or Floral, whatever that is. Corner. Floral corner. Floral corner. Okay, that’s—that’s good. Look at this. Look at the 
detail in there. It’s so nice. And then you know these cuz 
everybody needs a pair of these. It matches your outfit. Oh yeah. They’re actually really cute. I am 
way too old for these, but they’re adorable. You look adorable. Do they have bobby pins? Maybe. Bobby pins are so hard to find in 
Asia. They’re probably like not, but they are for me. They’ve got a 
lot of cute clips, but no bobby pins. Oh, they’re so cute though. Little New Year—New 
Year dragons. Oh, and little haws again. Oh my gosh. Rock sugar gourd. Interesting. This is cute. 
And it’s so soft. That looks like little eyes. They love the little googly eyes here. I know, I love it. I love the like 
fluffy hair clips. They’re my favorite. I don’t see bobby pins, my love. I don’t either, my love. Oh, I do. Do you really? Oh, whoa. This stuff is like 
addictive. Those are cute. They also have pastel colored ones. Normally I’d want just like ones you couldn’t 
see, but these are cute. Oh, I like those, too. This probably matches what I have more. Yeah, that probably matches your skin tone better. Oh, yeah. Okay. Am I a soft 
summer—what is this—or a warm spring? I don’t know. You’re—that’s definitely warm   spring. But you’re definitely—you 
need the bolder colors for sure. Do you really think so? I do. I still need to do my color analysis. I always go 
for these colors, and Mike says it washes me out. I don’t know that it washes you out,   but it doesn’t make you stand out. You 
match like your whole ensemble here. Yeah, but this matches my like current 
outfit. You think this matches too though? No, it doesn’t match. I mean, you could wear like these blue ones 
cuz they’re the same. Okay, get those. Darn. I wish they had just like plain though. She never listens to me. But I also have 
no idea what I’m talking about, so… Okay, I’ll do the—I’ll do the bright ones. Why? Cuz you think they’re better. I like these ones. I was just saying in general those colors match you better. I don’t know that they’re 
better for your current wardrobe. They’re not. You’re also easily 
15 years senior anybody in here. Mike! Let’s go. Oh, look at this dude. He’s even 
got hair. Oh my gosh. These are like—you have to squish it though. It’s so fun. Uh-oh. I’m not getting these. What? why? Cuz. Boogies. You should definitely get them. I’m not leaving—oh, those are 
so cute. Oh, I like those. I’m leaving. “Thsse are so cute!” Here. Those are cute. There’s the cutest little French 
bulldog behind us. But I always feel weird like going and creeping on 
other people’s dogs and taking pictures. Oh my, he’s so cute. I’m going to do it. He’s so cute. Nǐ hǎo. “I always feel weird creeping.” 
Totally going to creep. Look at his little butt. He’s so cute! What’s that way? There’s a whole mole that way. You want to see? Yeah. Whoa. Those guys are terrifying. I feel like they’re from like a manga. I feel like so, too. I wouldn’t know, though. Yeah. This is a super cool—It feels 
like a little pop culture mall. Yeah, it does, doesn’t it? 
Like—look—question mark pillow. Any color question mark 
pillow you could ever want. Oh, they’re very soft. Are they? Yeah. They’re like kind of like a… It’s like a cool travel pillow. It’s like a neck pillow. Yeah. We should get our drawing done. Should get a drawing done? Yeah. I’m just really not good at sitting still. Hellen Keller? What? That is [ __ ] up! Yo, China, you 
are ruthless. That is not nice. That girl couldn’t see or hear and ain’t no amount 
of glasses about to fix that. Holy hell. Look at these little weirdos. Oh, yeah.
Funny ugly monsters. Funny ugly monsters. They’re called Fugler. Fuglers. That’s funny. That is adorable. They have Teenage 
Mutant Ninja Turtle Fuglers. Oh, wow. With teeth. What in the world? 
Oops. I’m going to scratch our screen. Please don’t. Or lens. I guess it’s a lens. It’s a lens. Yeah, that’s like full-on bowling. And they’ve 
got like slides. It’s like a fun zone, I guess. What? Archery, sniping, bike riding. What? Like VR rides? What? Rock 
climbing. Yo, China, you’re spoiled. Yeah. We don’t have any cool stuff. Yeah, we have like—in our hometown, like where 
we met and lived for the majority of our life, I think the only thing fun like that we 
had was like this old janky trampoline   park that they built in a mall that was 
half empty. Oh, it’s a movie theater. So, this is just like a fun zone. Yeah, subterranean fun zone. Ooh, tarot. Maybe you could get some tarot cards here. I mean—ooh, that’s not a bad idea. 
She’s pretty. Got more tarot. More tarot. Yeah, this place is so cool. What? This place? Yeah. Yeah. I would have never imagined that we’d come 
here for you to get scared of shopping at Sephora— Mike! And then end up at this wild place. It was a lot. I know. It was a lot. I’m—I’m only teasing because 
it’s my favorite thing to do is to tease you. They were mean. They were not mean. They were not. They were so nice. They were sweet, but there was a lot. They were just really trying to help. I know. Look at this place. It’s got like 
dragons and all those signs up there. Oh, yeah.
Looks cool. Oh, yeah? That’s so funny. I watch your videos.
Oh, yeah? I watch—I watch your video. 
I watch it this afternoon. Oh, no kidding? Thank you 
so much. That’s so funny. Thank you.
Yeah, of course. What’s your name? Uh, my name is Hao. Hao? Hao? Okay. Nice to meet you. That’s so funny. She watched 
our video this afternoon. Oh, yeah? That’s funny. Okay. Can we take a photo? Sure. Sure. Here. Okay. Okay. Yes, yes. You’re welcome. 
Thank you so much. Bye. You want to try this cake now? Oh, sure. Do you want to try the cake? Yeah, sure. He was like, “Let’s try the cake.” Yeah, sure. Sure. How many subscribers you guys got? We have two YouTube channels. 
One has 60,000 subscribers and one has like 1,600 subscribers. 
It’s very new. We just started. That’s good. Thanks. Thank you. It’s fun. We enjoy it. They look very adorable. Mhm. I’m very excited to eat an Oreo cake. You’ll have to eat most of it. I’m not hungry. Yeah. I’m not either. We were 
like, “Oh, let’s go get a hot pot.” Yeah. And then we’re like, “No 
way. We had too much sushi.” How much is it? Seven. Oh, okay. That’s good. Yeah, it’s only a dollar. Yeah, 
your English is very good. Much better than my Chinese. I can say like 
four words, and I say them all badly. I was studying. Oh, yeah? Where’ you study? Swiss. Oh, in Switzerland. Oh, wow. That’s awesome. Or bad. Or bad? Or bad. Yeah. It’s expensive there. Yeah. Everything much—you know, like—you 
know, like the noodle—noodle—how much—uh, like the change your dollar 
will be like the $10 noodle. Oh wow. That’s crazy. That’s crazy. It’s too much. Thank you so much. Okay. Thank you so much. Bye. Have a good day. Yeah. You should probably wait a few minutes. I should probably wait a few minutes. Okay. Ashley the celebrity. Stop it. What is this crazy place? I don’t know. Oh, look at this escalator. Whoa! Look at that. You want to go up? Yeah. Okay.
I think it probably just goes back outside. Look how cool it looks though. It does look really cool. That side looks cooler. Yeah. We got a long time. I’m going 
to try this little cake. You’re gonna burn your mouth. Mmm. Don’t touch it with your hands! What am I supposed to touch then? That thing. It’s very good. It’s like an—like an Oreo 
stuffed inside a pancake or a waffle, which I guess—which is what 
I guess he told me it was. Ah, it’s hot. That’s good. You can have it. We’re going this way. There’s 
a giant light up dragon. Boogie, that’s been here the whole time. Has it? And on the whole time. Yeah. That thing up there has 
been up here the whole time? Yep. Wow. Sure has. Oh, this is the park. Yeah, there’s the Saltimbocca place. Oh, yeah. I know where we are. Right there. Okay. A water? Yeah. Yeah. Let’s go find something to drink. Water and a cocktail. Okay. Okay. So, we have to go check 
out Angry Hungry, right? Yeah. Because it’s basically your restaurant. Okay. We may not eat there cuz like—I 
don’t know. I want to—I like want to go   somewhere vibey, but this looks 
cool. So, we got to check out. I’m not angry or hungry. I know. I’m definitely not at 
the hungry-angry point yet. Yeah. We call that hangry in the United States. We do call that hangry. We combine the words. Yeah. It’s not even a restaurant! Is it not? What? It’s a clothing store. That’s stupid. How you supposed to have a place 
called Angry Hungry that you can’t be angry or hungry? I’m—I think 
now I’m angry because I am hungry. Wait, are all of these food shop—like 
cuz Saltimbocca is a clothing store, too. Yeah. So this is—this is an interesting 
little place. It’s a bunch of clothing   shops named after food or food things or food 
related items. Yeah. It’s food-themed clothing. Huh. Where food and fashion meet. Whoa, look at this though. 
Like, that looks so cool. Whoa, that is pretty cool. It looks like Gotham City. Yeah, look at this. China is so modern. This place is crazy. Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase. Ain’t no worries for the rest of your days… Until you get copyright infringement. It’s your…I doubt that my singing 
is going to copyright infringe. It’s our problem free… Philosophy….Hakuna matatataaaa! I just don’t feel like we have this kind 
of stuff. Like we’re from a relatively   small city in the United States, and then 
we lived in Alaska, which is basically the middle of the wilderness. And so this is all 
very like new to us. Maybe—and any of our viewers from the United States or people who’ve 
explored the United States more than we have,   like the cities and stuff—maybe let us know 
if cities back in the US are like this, cuz I’ve never seen one, but I’ve only really 
been to like Charlotte and Durham and Anchorage, and then like we’ve driven by some 
other cities, but we didn’t really— Like look at this. Yeah. We didn’t really vibe with cities until 
we came to Bangkok and then all over Asia. Nǐ hǎo.
Hello. N ǐ hǎo. Měiguó. Okay. Xièxiè.
Xièxiè. Bye. He’s so nice. Bye-bye. Everyone has been so incredibly kind. This 
has been a lovely day out. We were going to stay inside, and then Ashley was like, 
no, I’d like to go shopping and maybe   explore this other part of town. And I’m so 
happy. I’m so happy that you took us here. Me, too. And look, there’s 
a Chef’s American Diner. What? Yeah, that’s cool. Hey, maybe I’m hungry. I’m just kidding. I’m not. But it does look good. Yeah, it does. Let’s see what they got. Hi there. Hello! So, apparently this whole little 
area of this mall is like brand new. It just opened on the first of the 
year, which was like two weeks ago. Yeah. Less than two weeks ago. Which is crazy. And the guy that runs 
that American diner is from Vermont in   the United States, and he says he is 
the only American—like American chef, Western American food restaurant—he’s the 
only American restaurant run by an American   chef in Chongqing, which is awesome. 
So if you’re craving American food, come check him out. You know 
where we are. As I sure don’t. That’s so cool. He was really, really nice. Yeah, he was super—well, he’s from 
Vermont. I mean, everyone’s super nice. Everyone from Vermont’s nice. Yeah, you’re right. Yeah. Check out Chefs. It’s right 
there. If you want American food, him and I assume his wife are very, very sweet. 
And it’s super cool cuz it’s pet-friendly. Yeah. Look at this little_ I love it. Seating area here. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that’s his restaurant. He said they just 
moved there, cuz obviously they just opened up. It’s very futuristic looking. Yeah, I love China. I really do. Same. Like—I’m like constantly being impressed. Yeah. Every city feels like you’re 
going to a new country. Yeah. And it’s just—it’s just constantly amazing. Well, and we were—so we were planning our next 
stop, right? Cuz we’re trying to escape the cold   cuz I’m a wimp. And um we were looking at train 
tickets, and so for a high-speed train to go the length of New York to Florida is only going to 
take us—what—under seven hours? And it’s going to cost us like $60 per person. Like, that’s insane. 
I don’t even know how long that would take in the States, but it would take way longer. It would 
be a grubbier train, and it would, I’m sure, cost a couple hundred per person. I feel like you 
could—or hundred something dollars per person. I feel like you could fly from like New 
York to Florida for fairly affordably. Probably. If you planned it right and didn’t have checked 
bags. But I feel like if you were to take a sub—like a train, you definitely wouldn’t get 
a high-speed train. You’d be on like an Amtrak. Yeah. And the Amtrak from Durham to Charlotte, which is like a three-hour train ride and 
only goes like 150 miles, is like $65. Yeah. So— And I’m not trying to [💩] on the States, 
like I’m not a States hater, but there are some very real and obvious differences in the 
transportation systems between America and Asia. Oh, Hong Kong Land. Is that what like 
this little area that we’re in is called? I don’t know. Interesting. And like, look 
at the apartment buildings.   The apartment buildings look like futuristic. I know. That’s so cool. Is that why 
everyone says it’s a cyberpunk city? Uh, I don’t think so. I think that’s from 
some other thing that we’re going to see   when we’re filming our main video. 
All right, let’s keep exploring. We have a plan. We have a plan. It involves walking 
until we get to the next location. You’re not going to tell them where? No, you keep watching. Oh, okay. We’re going to walk. It’s 
going to take us 43 minutes to get there, but it’s really nice out. It’s not too 
cold. Maybe by then we’ll have an appetite, but if not, there’s drinks. You ready? Yeah. Okay. Our travel made us detour back through 
the park that we’d already walked through, which is perfect because now it’s all lit up and 
we get to see what it’s like in all its glory. Well, we said we were going to 
and then we forgot about it, so I’m actually glad that it took us back here. Yeah. Now all the lanterns are lit up, too. I know. It’s so pretty. Whoa! Look 
at that building. It’s so pretty. Oh, there’s a lot of like those IMIX Parks 
everywhere. This city is cool. I like it. It’s a really cool city. It’s a puppy play date. Oh, is it? Oh, look at them! They’re so cute. You’re so sweet. 
Hello. He’s so cute. Xièxiè. Bye-bye. Aw, that was sweet. Fountain show! Oh, look at that. That’s cool. Whoa! Look at that. That’s wild. That is crazy. This whole place kind of feels like a theme park. Yeah, right? Like look at this. I know. Like what day is it even? It’s Tuesday. Tuesday?! The most magical of all days. Hello. A Havel? Yeah. Never heard of it. I haven’t either. GWM. That’s Great Wall Motors. An Avatar. What?! Look at this thing. That’s like a future car. That is like a future car. That is so cool. We can move here, right? Yeah. China will just be like, “It’s 
okay. You can move here.” If they did—if they were like, “We can 
make this work for you,” that’d be cool. That would be cool, wouldn’t it? Yeah. To have the choice to like be able to— I would love to drive an Arc Fox. An Arc Fox. Yeah. All the cars look so futuristic. I don’t think I can ever go look at 
like a Ford or a Chevrolet ever again. They’re not an Arc Fox, that’s for sure. That is for damn sure. Look at that thing. 
Even the logo is cool. Like this one lights up. I know. Look at that. It looks so cool. Yeah.
I want my car to look like that. Ash is always getting us lost. Where are we going? This city’s confusing. We haven’t even gone up a level yet. Mike! It’s been on the ground floor the whole time. Just follow her. Ow. Did you kink your neck? No, I ran into that thing. Oh, did you? Yeah. I’m having way more fun 
walking around this part than   the part by Raffle City, though, for sure. Yeah. I was kind of like, “Oh, this is it,” when we were 
by Raffle City. Not that Raffle City isn’t cool, but it just feels like a big mall. And there’s a 
bunch of warehouse district stuff and wholesale   shopping over there, which is cool and definitely 
interesting to witness. But I was like, “Hm. So this is all what the hubbub’s about.” And this is 
a very big shopping district and things like that,   but I don’t know. This definitely feels way more 
impressive and way cooler. Like, look at this. I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire 
life. And look at all these neon lights over here. It feels like we’re in Vegas. I know. Except way better. Way better. Cuz it’s not sad. Yeah, right? So many lights. What are those? Like little gun candies. Is it candy? Look like candy. We’re just like blown away right now. I like don’t know where to look. Yeah. We have nothing to say because we’re just 
like—there’s just so much cool stuff to look at. All right, well, I kind of need to be 
watching where I’m walking now cuz the   steps and everything are changing and 
we’re on and off the road and on and off the sidewalk. So I’m going to put you 
guys away, focus on where we’re walking.   When we get somewhere a little more calm, come 
back out. We’ll hang out. Ohh, strawberries. We are now in a much more calm and less 
shopping district and more just like—I don’t know—haircutting area and a little bit more— Local life. Yeah. I mean, I feel like it’s all 
local life, you know, but this is just like way more lowkey. Little auntie and uncle 
restaurants, barber shops, that kind of thing. Mm, that restaurant smells so good. It’s definitely drizzling out now, so I’m not 
going to keep the camera out for the whole time, but I think we got like 15 more minutes of walking 
to do. It has been hilly. Mm. They got some bao. I love seeing like parents and their children or 
grandparents and their children walking around. They always just seem so happy, like walking them 
home from school hand in hand or arm in arm. Got a local supermarket here. Ashley’s 
getting some water, I bet. Yeah. Do you want—uh—big or—or small? One big one is good. Oh, watch out. You have a little behind 
you. Uh, you want—what do you want? Just one big one. One big. Okay. Uh, nǐ hǎo. Oh, here. This one? Okay. Xièxiè. Yeah. You’re welcome. Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, I see. Xièxiè. Oh, I’m so thirsty! Oh, I was parched. You want some? Yeah. This place is such a stark contrast from where we 
just were. Like, we were just in this sprawling shopping district full of neon lights, and now 
we’re in this very quiet, lowkey market area with just like farmers markets. It’s so cool. It’s 
so cool that just a few blocks away it can be so different. That’s why I love travel, cuz you just 
get to see so many different sides. And honestly,   that’s why we like walking around. Had we taken a 
DiDi from where we just were to where we’re going, we would never have seen any of this. And 
sure, we’re walking around in the rain and,   you know, it’s a 45 minute walk, but 
we would never get to experience this. We would be sitting on our phones, not 
living life, not being in the moment,   not being present. It’s these moments of 
travel that I appreciate so much more, more often than going to like these big 
tourist sites. Like, don’t get me wrong,   Great Wall of China, pandas, all of that stuff is 
amazing and like once in a lifetime opportunities, but it’s seeing the way that life is lived 
that feels—I don’t know—just more memorable. Now it’s really dark, except for the 
passing headlights from the cars that   are giving me a little bit of ambient 
lighting. People always say like, “Oh, this is the real China,” or “This is the 
real [whatever country I’m in].” And that’s   not true. Like, everywhere in China is the 
real China. All of it is China. All of it is every place you’ve been. But it’s just cool 
to see more than just the glitz and the glam, and also cool to see more than the traditional, 
and cool to see more than everything. Like… Look at that. Yeah, it’s just cool. It is. We got this beautiful purple sky 
behind us. It’s wild. This is a cool night. Where are you taking me, my love? I’m pretty sure to that. To that? For real? You’ll see. It’s always an adventure with this one. Yeah. So, this I think, if I’m not 
mistaken, is Ninth Street. It’s hard to like tell really. And so, I don’t have 
a destination past this. It’s taking us to this place called Soma Cocktail Bar, but we 
can kind of go just anywhere that looks good.   It tells us to go right, but it 
kind of seems like left is busier. I can agree with that. So… I don’t know. This kind of—there looks like a little couple vibey spots 
maybe built into the wall. Oh, yeah. So, this is the cocktail bar. So this is 
definitely the quiet end of the street, I think. Yeah. Okay, well, I’m not going to lie. That 
definitely looks like my type of vibe. Ow. I just got a aindrop in the eye. You okay? Yeah, I’m fine. Okay. You want to go in there? No, not yet. But I will say 
that looks like my type of vibe. We could go have one drink there 
and then ask where Ninth Street is   or sit down and figure out where Ninth Street is. I feel like this is Ninth Street. I 
feel like we should walk down that way. Okay. And then if we don’t find anything that 
hits the vibe check of this, we come back. Okay. It is really vibey. Yeah. Well, this is pretty cool, but 
it’s not like popping off. However, it is a Tuesday, so maybe that’s why. It’s 
definitely a cool little area. I love all the smells of all the Chinese food. Like, 
Chinese food just smells so incredible. It tastes so incredible. It tastes even better. Yeah, Ashley’s right. Especially Sichuan food. I love the spice. It’s 
so good. I think I’m like addicted to it now. What? Sichuan food? Yeah, the flavor—or the mala? Uh, the flavor. But they go 
hand in hand for me. But no, it’s just the—the Sichuan pepper. Like, I 
just love that flavor. It is so, so, so good. Whoa, that’s cool. Yeah. Is it a snake? It’s for the year of the snake. Oh,   it’s like a dance club, I think. Told 
you I was taking you to the club. I see you. That’s weird. I see you, too, homie. 
Everyone’s so nice. They’re all like, what’s up? Wave to the camera. 
Peace sign to the camera. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It’s like nightclub street. Oh, sure is. Just—just what we need. Just what we need. Yeah. It is not Christmas anymore, guys. That’s a big-ass tree, though. That is a big ass tree. My goodness. Okay, well… So if I’m being honest, I think I See You and that one place—the first place—looked the 
best out of the stuff we just saw. I kind of agree. I think we’re going to go 
back towards Soma Cocktail Bar, I think is what it’s called. But we’re going to cross the 
street so we can see what’s on the other side. Brain. It sure is. Flaming pot of brain restaurant. I’m still so curious to see what it 
tastes like. I should just order it. It doesn’t taste like anything. It tastes like 
the sauce and the flavor that it was in. Like, I’m very like sensitive to organ meats, and it 
didn’t at all taste like an organ meat at all. That’s good. It was just—you know how tofu 
takes up the flavor of everything? Yeah. Except it’s not tofu. It’s brain. Yeah. So it’s like—it was like the 
same consistency as like what I imagine   like—like silken tofu. So it tasted 
like Sichuan peppers and knowledge. Mm. Wow, it’s so bright. All the knowledge and instincts 
of a pig I now have imbued in me. I mean, pigs are incredibly intelligent creatures. Probably smarter than me, which is why 
I think I feel so intelligent lately. That might be true. Ooh, Tastien! Oh, Tastien is so good!
Tastien is so good. We need to not eat Tastien again, though. Yeah, we had Tastien in Dujiangyan, and it’s very 
tempting to Tastien it from time and time again, but we will not. Maybe we’ll make a 
Tastien video, a Tastien taste test. If you want us to, let us know cuz 
we have an excuse to eat it again. Let us know in the comments. We try our best to 
eat local food and not fast food unless we’re just craving something. But we do our best. So if you’d 
like to give us an excuse to try Tastien again, let us know. And let us know your favorite menu 
item, and we’ll try that in a video if we do it. Look at that—oh, it’s Budweiser. Sure is Budweiser. That’s funny. This is the precursor to the giant 3D billboards. Yeah, right? This is—before there was giant 3D 
billboards, there was like dot matrix, pixelated koi fish jumping over Budweiser bottles. That’s cool, though. Yeah. I kind of prefer that, if I’m being 
honest. I think that that’s like more clever. Whoa, that place looks cool. Oh, Live 
House. They’ve got music in there. Oh, yeah. Oh, it’s so vibey. Ooh. Okay. I love it. That would be my vote. That place? Yeah. For real? Yeah. What’s wrong with it? Oh, I just—that doesn’t seem 
like the type of place you’d want to go. It’s got live music and candles. All right. So, it turns out we made it just 
to Ninth Street before we were like, “Okay, I guess there’s nothing to see here. Let’s 
turn around,” and went to the other place.   So, in proper explorer fashion, we are going to 
go to actual Ninth Street and see what the vibe is like there. And we’ll—we’ll—we’ll 
take you along with us. Let’s have… Oh, so this place—the place that we were like,   “Oh, this is cool,” and then we were just 
like, “I guess we turn around now. Yeah. That’s that cool wine bar. I saw a wine bar 
online, and I was like, “Oh, that sounds a   little more adult, a little more our speed.” It’s 
like a [ __ ] full on club. So, not our speed. Nǐ hǎo. Oh, he’s chained to the thing. Oh, is he chained? Yeah. Oh, hi, puppy. Hi. You just want some love. He’s so soft. Oh, you’re so sweet. Look at you. Oh, I’m 
sorry. You don’t have more leeway. Oh. He probably does, but he 
used it to get on the table. Did you see…yeah, why are you on the table, 
silly bean? Oh, you’re so sweet. Are you giving me the teeth? Oh, I love you. Yes, I do. You’re 
such a sweet little girl. Yes, you are. Oh, here. Let’s get you some space here. You’re so silly. 
Oh, you—oh, yeah. You don’t have—that’s—that’s about—that’s about all you got, huh? You’re 
so sweet. Got good looking nails. Yeah, you’re loved, huh? Yeah. Say, “I’m loved. I got 
a coat. My nails look good. My teeth are good.” “I’m super soft.” Everything’s good, huh? Yeah. Yeah. You have a table to sit on. That’s 
like—oh, and you have a bed. Okay. Okay, love bug. Okay. Bye-bye. Bye. I don’t want to leave. Bye. Bye, love bug. Oh, you’re 
so soft. Very clean. Bye! Totally worth it. How’d we miss that? I don’t know. This definitely seems more like nightlife bar 
area than the other part we were on. Like, there’s definitely bars. Oh 
my god, this is adorable. Look at the little dog in the chair. No. What? This is adorable. This is a 
little—it’s a little cocktail beer hut. See, that’s what we need. We need this. This is 
the type of business that we need. We need to own a business wherever we live, and that needs to 
be that. That’s exactly what we need. I always thought like beach hut in Thailand, but this—but 
basically we agree on a hut, so that’s good. Yeah. Like little small, easy to manage. Little hut of some sort 
serving something to somebody. Yeah. Yes. Ah, dog. This feels surreal. Nǐ hǎo. Uh, do you know what you want? Yeah. Which ones? I know what I want. What do you want? Oh, you’re getting two. Yeah. Oh, two of the legs? Yeah. Um, can I have— You want wings? Yeah, wings. Uh… Uh, how many? I don’t know. Five, six. Yeah. Could we do the wings? Uh the—yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[indiscernible] Okay. Yeah. Xièxiè. You understood that? No. [indiscernible] Okay. Yeah. I wonder, are those like 
cutlets or are those potatoes? I don’t know, honestly. It 
looks really good though. Yeah. I just want some fried chicken. We got a whole bag. Oh, he tossed it in chilis. Yum.
So it’s like tossed in chili powder. Awesome. All right. Okay, so do we want to see—cuz I think   this place is this place. So do you 
want to see if we can eat out here? Yeah, sure. And like I’m sure they have a QR code 
that we can order something from. Yeah. Probably need to order something first so 
we don’t get yelled at for taking a table. I’m sure we’ll be—I’m sure they’ll 
realize what—what—what the deal is. Is that a thing in China? Like if you sit down 
and if you don’t order something right away, will they yell at you and tell you have to 
order something? Cuz in the States, you’re   likely to—like you—you can’t bring outside food 
into other establishments. Like that’s not okay. I wonder, is that true if the 
place doesn’t serve food? I   think it’s okay if the place doesn’t serve food. I think it comes down to the place you are. 
And so like lots of places that serve food don’t want you to bring food into their 
establishments, which totally makes sense. Yeah. And lots of places that don’t 
serve food don’t care because you’re not competing with their business. Oh, he put so much chili. I don’t know what this means, but it 
looks like this is definitely with the number of people to eat. Well, there’s 
only two people, and we’re not eating,   so maybe that—hopefully that won’t be 
a problem. I’m sure it will be fine. There is so much chili powder on these. Is it good? Yeah. It’s almost like sweet spicy 
though. It’s kind of interesting. They have— It’s good though. It’s like—it’s—they’re always trying to get you 
hammered. It’s like, all right, you can do it for— Oh, with the packages? Yeah. It’s always like, “Oh, yeah. Do you 
want 24 beers?” It’s like, no, I don’t want   24 beers. Am I 19 years old? Twenty-four 
beers. Get out of here. I want two beers. I think I’m going to go to bed after this. Yeah, I think so, too. I’m exhausted. This is not   what I anticipated when you were 
like, “I want to go to Sephora”. Well. Lois. Hey, Lois. Hahaha. Hahahaha.
Hahahaha. Hahahaha. Oh, man. Please don’t—please 
tell me I don’t sound like Peter. I mean, there was definitely some 
comment that was like, “Oh, Peter.” Yeah, but I think they were making fun of 
me. I think they were making fun of you. I feel like they were making fun of me. 
Yeah, you’re right. I’m not Lois. Okay. No, I don’t want to sign up for a 
membership. I just want to order two beers. I can kind of see it though. 
My Michigander accent. Well chosen. Aren’t they from— She’s from Rhode Island. Oh, Rhode Island. So New England. Which is nothing the same as Michigan. Yeah, Michigan’s more Midwestern. I am 
very nasally, but I guess from like a non-English speaker, I could see how they 
would sound similar, I guess. I don’t know. Yeah, I think that means pay. I’ve always been insecure about my voice,   so reading y’all’s comments 
is great for my self-esteem. I feel like so many people say—like 
we’ve had a lot of people say—that   you have a warm and lovely voice, and one 
person even said that they would listen to any voice acting work you did or any 
podcast material you had available. Yeah, that’s true, too. It’s a mixed bag. You have the uncanny ability to let one comment 
completely derail how you feel about yourself. Oh, it’s a lot of comments. Like so many comments. 
But it’s okay. I’m learning how to build a thick skin. And honestly, most of the comments, like 
even if they’re kind of like poking fun at us,   like everyone’s been really, really 
kind overall. There’s always like the occasional jerk, but that’s to be expected 
when you put yourself on the internet. And that’s usually a them thing and not 
an us thing. Like, don’t get me wrong,   sometimes we do some dumb things or we say 
some things that aren’t quite the brightest, and we deserve some of those digs, but 
when people can go and absolutely flay total strangers on the internet—from 
the comfort of their own home or their   mother’s basement or wherever they’re 
perched up doing the Lord’s work—like, that’s usually a them thing more than it is an 
us thing. We think. Maybe it’s an us thing, but I feel like if it was, there would be a lot more 
people saying mean things to us. And honestly— For the most part, everyone’s really kind. I feel like over 99%. I feel like it’s such a 
rare person that’s just awful in the comments. We did think that it might be a really 
funny video idea to react to all of   the comments on our Bilibili videos. And 
if you’re watching this not from China, Bilibili is effectively the Chinese equivalent 
to YouTube. And so some really crafty and kind netizens of China like to take our content 
from YouTube and share it with Bilibili so   that everyone who doesn’t have access to YouTube 
can enjoy the content as well. And that’s really, really nice and fantastic. And it is, you know, 
resulted in a lot more exposure than we even realized was possible. And that’s really cool. 
And uh—yeah, so when we go on there and read   the comments, again, most of them are incredibly 
nice. Some of them are kind of like—and then some are just like downright hilarious because the 
translations are just so bananas. So we thought it’d be really funny one day on a rainy day—like 
we probably should have done today—to just sit at   home and watch one—like one or two of our videos 
on Bilibili and react to the comments. Yeah. Like, and just see what they say and like react, 
cuz I’ve never seen them. Ashley’s watched a   lot of them. It’s like her favorite thing to 
do. So, be nice on Bilibili. We can see you. All right, give me some chicken. It’s pretty okay. Pretty okay? No. No Thai chicken? No Thai chicken. There’s a Thai chicken lady—I 
couldn’t even tell you where she was. I could. But she has—it’s like in this little tiny 
neighborhood like you wouldn’t go to unless you were staying there. But she literally 
has the best crunchy fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life. It is to die for. Literally, 
it’s—it’s worth—it’s worth the heart attack. I didn’t like fried chicken until 
I had this lady’s fried chicken. Yeah. All right, I’m ready to call 
it. You ready to call it? Mhm. I’m not going anywhere else 
after this. I’m going to bed. This is it. We’re far gone from our late-night 
club hopping. It’s—what time is it? It’s 9:30. 9:30. We made it till 9:30. A sensible 9:30. Yeah. But it’s been a fun day. Hopefully you enjoyed hanging out with us. We didn’t 
really do much but ate sushi, I guess. Wandered around like all these cool places. Yeah. So hopefully you enjoyed it. Let us know. 
It’s been really reassuring reading your feedback, letting you guys—letting us know that you like 
us, that you like our vlog content. So we’ll keep doing it as long as you keep enjoying 
it. And we’ll see you in the next video.   Please like and subscribe. And always remember 
to be kind. Bye. Oh, my hands are so greasy.

What started as a rainy, gloomy day in Chongqing turned into one of the sweetest memories of our time in China. 🇨🇳

We started the day at Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street, got totally overwhelmed while shopping, and made a sushi pitstop at Sushiro to regroup. That’s when things took a turn in the best way. We wandered into a mall, and suddenly, strangers were stopping us just to say hello and welcome us to China. 🥹

This vlog is a mix of everything: surprise kindness, 3D billboards, local nightlife, and aimless wandering that led to something special. Sometimes the best days are the ones you don’t plan.

Huge thanks to everyone who said “欢迎来到中国 / Welcome to China.” You really made our day.
