@@166abn Merry Christmas! Thank you and to you and the fam too.

@@indianprincess1974 Merry Christmas to you too!

@@vincentliu02 good thanks!

@@abigail.m.3785 we sure do! Haha Not at all. It’s nice to know that it’s not only me that can appreciate #sunsetsforever 🌅

Thank you for being so attentive to the subtitles! I realize I made the mistake of saying no PUXI when I meant Pudong only after posting this video… it’s was actually in PUDONG near Disneyland! Yes, there is an app for it. Exactly the same app you use to call taxis - Didi! The drivers usually scoot to your location with some small electronic bike that they’ll fold into your car boot for when they drive you back. Maybe I’ll film it next time - just so use to such service didn’t think it’d be that interesting! Okay! Noted, must try So MEZZE!

@@JackS-y4z thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it, especially the music, always takes forever to find the right track/vibe.

Welcome back to Shanghai... in about a week! Please do and prepare him by letting him know "Lemon Chicken" isn't really a thing here. I was pretty shocked too - though sweet and sour can be found in different forms! Thanks for rewatching this, because of your comment, we found ourselves enjoying this moment in history again. Makayla was so small, I was so slim (sigh) and the world seems less stressful... Enjoy your family time, that's always important. Even your apparent 'bland' noodles too, because it's home-cooked and there's nothing more precious than a home-cooked meal. Especially if it's Nissan 出前一丁 instant noodles. :)

Thanks Abigail! Always love reading your comments, it gives me confidence things I considered maybe too 'mundane' actually some people can find pleasure in the simple things. Indonesia was actually pretty amazing, though was too busy absorbing rather than filming on my iPhone the footage. ; )

There's definitely a WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF for the kids to do in Anji's Club Med - including spinning plates on a stick well past their bedtimes! I'd prefer we could spend 2 nights there to settle and enjoy it a little more. A tip, see if you can get your hands on their programming a week ahead of your visit. That way you can already plan ahead all the activities/things you want to do with your kid. We arrived just before lunch and the restaurant was going to close in an hour - so the first day was somewhat rushed. Had I'd known the restaurant operating hours and programmes ahead of schedule. We could probably have maximized the offerings a little more, you'd be very clear also on what you can and can't do (age restrictions for cycling). Though that's just me being an adult and considering ROIs (as you are!) - we obviously hope that it's worth the money. Honestly, you'll see all the kids chasing the dads on the grass in this vlog and them running up and down a grassy slope.

Well said💯

What a great question! It depends on what you consider 'worthwhile'? If it's defined by, will my 3 year old thank me for treating them to a magical experience when they're 18 - then you'll be disappointed. Will a 3 year old giggle with glee when they see Mickey Mouse and friends - thus making a trip 'worth it'? Oh absolutely! If you don't mind spending the money, yet miss out on the 10,000 other far more exciting rides than the Winnie The Poo honeypot ride. Then go for it! We did because there was a time in Shanghai when Disneyland seemed somewhat affordable - not these days.

@@griffink thank you! 🙏

A big thank you from Shanghai!

@@indianprincess1974 this will certainly be the last growth for us, we’ll stop at two!

@@166abn Thank you! And thank you for the gifts again, the winter chill is approaching and Theo will be using that nice duvet jumpsuit soon.

@@grymmd congrats received! Thank you so much!

@@pickleball-e8u thank you so much. Indeed, safe and pretty smooth and ‘painless’ (Cherrys own words not mine).

@@nzboyandgirl cheers!

it’s called SENSO. I’ve heard good things about Bottega, will need to find time try and let you know. Though we did find Senso truffle mushroom pizza great!

Crazy that this video has been several years already. I'm still using it daily, though clearly not as dense as these days (since I only use minoxidil - no finasteride or anything else). As you'll see from my video series, I've actually had several shed since starting - actually I've lost count how many I've had over the years. Likewise, I'd use to have a lot of hair left on my fingers - that's decreased now but mainly because I have a lot less hair these days. All the best with your journey.

@@166abn thanks so much! Yes, a lot of good food as always. That’s the first time I’ve heard Beijing Duck being referred to as “duck tacos” yet it makes sense! Yeah our African friends are cool 😎

Haha if only my vlogs were as popular as breaking bad!! Yes, you can definitely find the mic on taobao, it’s by “唱吧” the KTV app. They give you a mic and some wireless usb unit to plug into your tv - so it uses your tv speakers. Honestly, not the best experience, there’s some delays in the signal from singing to amplified output. Also sound quality ain’t great compared to proper KTV mic units which I’ve seen better. I guess the benefit is they have their own app and it’s pretty comprehensive.

Thank you! She did a great job despite the conditions.

Yeah, especially wasn’t fun for the guy when he saw we were traveling with a pregnant lady. Think he was more frightened than me.

Thanks! The conditions were horrible, yet she made it through. Really proud - hope your daughter enjoyed this one too!

I think you've done more than your fair share of crashing face-first! I noticed that too... surprised I didn't "nice" it all the way through this one. Grandma was a super trouper.

Thanks!!! Always shocks me...

@@166abn this was definitely a hard one! Having to maintain that level of strength, I’m constantly amazed by her!

Also, if it's okay for me to ask a 'behind-the-scenes' question, do you do the subtitles yourself? I'm always amazed. How long does it take usually to do just the subtitles?

Thank you so much for the kind comment. It always amazes me that our mundane life and vlog somehow seems to bring joy to others!

@@ssayima I use "CapCut" (also know by its CN name "JianYing") which has automatic subtitles capabilities! I recall my first 50+ videos were subtitled from scratch - took me 4-5 hours to do. With CapCut running the initial first round - that I still need to edit and re-write, also add in parts that are more [COMMENTARY ON SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS TO GIVE CONTEXT TO THE FOOTAGE], the time is cut by almost half! So average 10-15 minute video may take me now 2 hours.

@@liu4life Wow, I’m glad the five hour days are behind you. Two hours is still significant but it’s good to know it’s gotten better. Everyone watches for different reasons, for me it’s mostly because you make parenting and family life look so beautiful and fulfilling. It personally feeds my spirit. The care you put into your videos is felt and truly appreciated. We’ll keep enjoying your vlogs!

@@ssayima this isn’t my full time, it’s still just a passing hobby. I used to upload every week but those days are behind me, it’s more every two weeks now (at best). Thanks for sharing! Well, our second one is due soon. So maybe I’ll showcase also the difficult parts of parenting too… hoping the kid will be another easy one though and you’ll not be watching many vlogs shot in pitch dark night time due to the kid waking and keeping us up!

14km run? Why would you put yourself through that - at least the InterContinental stay makes up for the pain endured! Thanks! We just finished her Spartan race last - last weekend. Thought she'd smash it this time round, but the heavy rain, slippery surfaces and a fall mid-way hindered a top performance. Was still fun eitherway!

@@liu4life Congratulation to her! I hope there will be a video about the race, my daughter loves to watch Makayla racing :)

It's not as impressive as her first time Spartan run but there is one due. Kids are so cute, always interested in seeing other kids run around! Makayla is the same

@@JackS-y4z she really has a strong capacity to just watch and learn, she doesn’t attend any OCR training! Not to mention grip strength too… I’d be stuck at the start of the course for the whole day

@@chiachiwei7334 我也是 🥹

@@chiachiwei7334 她的杯子也太多了 🙃

@@liu4life 哈哈哈哈哈我杯子也超多然额不妨碍我一直被种草😂😂

@@chiachiwei7334 这个留言我就不点赞了😅

@@tinniefresheats888 it definitely is! Just food is way too overpriced, we were given a USD 70 “voucher” to spend but still managed to spend more than double that value on 2 meals there.

@@griffink yes! Under a month… craziness!

Btw I’m the same pickleball as before. This is my ad-free student account lol

@@pickleball-e8u maths is pretty stressful naturally… I applaud you for taking it to a phd!!! No problem, glad our snippets of shanghai life can bring some sense of relaxation.

@@166abn never ever have corn water even if the chance is given - pretty gross. My steaks are perfect! Even when cut 😂

Happy mid-Autumn festival too! Hope you have a ton of mooncakes!🥮

@@susanchan5501 thank you so much!! ☺️

Thank you so much! What a strange thought, that I'll be making a 'last day' for this baby too... I wonder how life will turn out? If it'll be the same one? Thank you, glad you liked this one - had a lot of activity and a lot of news so pretty action packed!

@@166abn thanks Andy! She is looking forward to it, surreal to think we need to go through early years again but part of the fun I guess! Yeah sharp eyes, tacos were from Taco Bell 😉

@@griffink it’s a great show! The movie is better though, can’t beat Jack Black for some randomness! Cheers, new glasses are growing on me.
