Shouldn't it be 'An entire day...' Instead of 'A entire day...' in your title???
很多中国人都不知道这是一家中国本土公司，并且创始人非常年轻。

You should review top range Electric cars. Most people in the West do not know about it!
Y’a girl! I did NOT forget that your bf is in Changchun Dongbei China! Remember that from the 2022 video when you left Sydney in July 2022! Now COVID is practically gone hope you’ve been vaccinated & safe ma girl! Just as a friend, if I do run in to you in China, I’ll definitely come up to you to talk hope you won’t be alarmed or surprised to see me!
Derk is so chill and I enjoyed his subtle sales pitch for both the car and camera. I’d be so disappointed to be behind the slow tobogganer too after waiting so long, but I guess he really wanted to get his money/time’s worth out of the experience! 😂
Great seeing Derk on here again! Seems like he has already gotten used to the life there in Changchun! The lake view was amazing but yeah, the lining up must have been frustrating. Can't wait to see more of your food adventure! Oh, I also love how Derk just casually pans to the logo of the car when Amy complements how smoothly the car goes. LOL but in all fairness, it does look like a super cool (and fancy) car!
I love how after Derk tells Amy to honk, he rolls his window down just to give side eye to the pedestrians lol
Hupen😅
American like to honk pedestrians when driving in China. But they don’t do that in USA.
@@wondererasl Neither one is American though
@@lilkitten545 right lol so embarrassing
@8:38 thanks amy for taking us to the Jingyuetan National Forest Park.
Appreciate your honest impressions and travel tips. You not only traveled about an hour to get there, but had to wait in line for an hour plus at multiple venues. Seems like many of the popular destinations are on a massive scale.
@14:48 Amy : " . . . this is a very nice car to drive . . ." Derk pans directly to the Audi logo on the steering wheel . Derk never misses a business marketing opportunity.
You and Derk are so good together. He seems to like working in China and really enjoys the food as well. You are both good ambassadors of your respective countries.
Changchun is my home city where I was born and raised until I was 12 before I came to Canada. I lived very close to Jingyuetan Park for six years (abt 10 min drive) and me and my parents used to go there on the weekends just to take a walk. I remember back in the days (early 2010s) there were unguarded entrances where you could just drive through for free and smh exist at the legit entrance. 😂 Not that I could recall neither the cableway nor the toboggan were there at the time but it's always great to see all those improvement. Never the less the metro lines had grown massive over the past few years (nothing compared to the big cities) but still glad to see the upgrade of the infrastructures. Haven't been back to China since COVID and this video is rlly nostalgic for me. Thank you very much for making this amazing video and I am really glad that you are enjoying your time at Changchun. 💞
I grew up near Nanhu lake and moved to Australia in 2010 after elementary school. I will be visiting my hometown again this summer.
"other priorities" hahaaaa
🙈
sex😂
Nice video Blondie. If Derk’s getting one of these cameras, I will too. Looks super easy to use and I can use it for my next walk. ❤
I love how the Changchun metro is kind of an afterthought to you but it's like 500% nicer than most public transit in the US 😭
@@Jess-737那就不要只會整天要求怪罪別人，然後自己火力全開污染空氣，只為自己爽😂😂😂
@Jess-737 勤奋的人目标只有一个：就是让自己变得更好。懒惰的人理由总是有无数个。
The USA is a dump.
@@Jess-737 That's not really true. Even smaller towns in the US once had extensive streetcar or light rail systems. LA once had a huge public transport system that was dismantled as US cities became more wealthy and diverse, and cars/highways became both more affordable and a way to prevent poor/Black residents from moving into/working in wealthier white areas.
@@劉沛-l3lL take bruh lmfao
I love how you guys look at each other, so full of love.
First off congrats on your engagement!!!🎉 I must say I was pleasantly surprised to see Derk sporting a Montreal T-shirt. That’s our hometown! 😀Really love your China content. A+
Another hit. Your videos make me homesick for someplace I've never been before. I'm still kicking my backside for not moving to Hong Kong when I was 20. 😢🤦🏻♀️
good to see Derk in videos every now and then
I've had a lot of interesting tomato things, because I live in a city that was once known as "The Big Tomato" and we have an annual tomato festival here that always features tomato-themed food and drinks. I've had a tomato basil gelato, tomato-flavored beer and cider... I have not had tomato-flavored coffee.
Welcome you guys to come to Jilin city, I live there, it's an amazing place, lots of great food. If need a guide let me know!
Funny you should ask about a suggestion for your next road trip! I was watching an older video of yours (I think a little pre-covid) from Harbin yesterday and it looked like a fascinating city. It made me very curious what the rest of the food scene and the town looks like. I hope in your explorations in northeast china take you back to Harbin at some point because I would adore to see you revisit it!
Much love to you, your family and Derk. Safe Travels!
Hi Amy!😊 my hubby and I super love all your videos 🎉 Filipina married to a Chinese guy living in WA here ❤ We share the love for food! So here goes my list of food/places to eat in Manila. Have fun on your trip ♥️ Let me know if you need any help❤
1 Jollibee Restaurant
2 Mang Inasal Restaurant
2 Halo halo - dessert
3 Sizzling Pork Sisig
4 Max’s Restaurant
5 Dinuguan -pork blood soup
Goodluck 🎉❤😊
Love your channel! Moved from Sweden to Chongqing some 5 months ago (second time here after 10 years back home) and can really relate to doing/eating the same stuff all the time. I get so inspired to try new things by watching your videos (and to learn the language better). Keep up the good work!
It's so interesting. I can usually see my hometown Changchun here. Most of the food even the local Changchun people haven't tried before. Thank you
Your accent has gotten so much better!
As a Chinese living in Australia, your food vlog makes me hungry....miss the food soooooo much
When in the Philippines, try their roast whole suckling pigs. Make sure you experience the chopping (guess what they use???) of the whole pig into pieces. Apparently it has a Spanish origin and it's super yummy.
I've never been to the Northeast of China - but it looks pretty amazing 🤩 One of these days!
Northern parts of China tend to eat more flour/bread type foods where as in the south rice is more the focus. Never been north either.
@@Krenisphia Yeah I spent years in Wuhan and it was a bit of a mix - a lot of noodles for breakfast but lunch/dinner rice was the focus like you say
Welcome！I’m from Dalian - one of the best cities in the Northeast of China😊
@@YuanxinJi I've heard the seafood there is fantastic 😊
@@Krenisphia The north（北方） is a big concept. The Northeast（东北） and the North China（华北） have different climates and diets. The precipitation in the Northeast is higher, and don't forget that the northernmost Heilongjiang Province has the best rice in China.
White shirt and xinjiang fried noodles, what a warrior😂. The spicy oil and sauce of the noodle will definitely mess up the clothes, especially for a white one.
Not Derk plugging for his company LOL
Derk is such a relaxed passenger in what I assume is his car! 👍 German men can be a bit protective over their cars. 😂
Another great video. Always love to see you try new stuff, both food and that gadget👍😋👍
As a Changchun local who has been away for years, I’m so happy to see your video! Also I’m very surprised to see the cable car and rodelbahn, it reminds me more of Switzerland 😆
There's another version of the “煎粉” without adding water at the end, just mixed with sesame sauce and garlic, called “煎焖子”. Also worth trying～
Philippine food must try:
Go to Gerrys grill or native restaurant or cafeteria especialty …
1. Sisig
2. Karekare ( ox tail in peanut butter sauce with vegies)
3. Pancit canton or bam-e
4. Dinuguan
5. Adobo or humba
6. Pares
7. Bistik
8. Sour soap : sinigang
9. Bulalo beef soap with bone marrow & veggies
Visit : Mang inasal chicken barbq
Lots of new Chinese cuisines for you to try in Changchun, Miss Amy.
For me, instead of dining, I would try to explore places, streets, hiking trails, landscapes and hidden spots that I haven't been around in Hong Kong.
it's a good day when Amy uploads!
As native Chinese, I have travelled a lot of places in China. But I never heard of this food Jianfen after watching a foreigner’s video😂. Chinese food is so diverse. ❤
Last time I decided to try something new I went and got multigrain bread instead of white bread from the supermarket.
So excited for you to visit the Philippines! I'd recommend the ff:
Sisig (best if it's served sizzling!), Kare-Kare (stew with peanut sauce), adobo, pancit palabok or pancit malabon (they're both noodle dishes with an orange-colored shrimpy sauce), bulalo (beef bone & marrow soup), stuffed squid, pinakbet (vegetable dish with shrimp paste), bicol express (pork with coconut milk), kinilaw (raw seafood that is "cooked" in vinegar). For desert, of course we have halo-halo (shaved ice with lots of toppings), various "kakanin" (rice cakes) such as puto, kutsinta and biko, lengua de gato (filipino butter cookies), and buko pandan.
Derk is nice but I cannot get over his improper operation of the seatbelt!
Miss my hometown!
"No urinating" on the 🚆 sign😂🤣...
Whoops, they NEED that in New York City.
though i am not from philippines, i have been there and i would highly recommend trying some local dishes like "kare kare", "sinigang", "pork sisig". i tried them at a really nice cozy restaurant called "manam" in manila (i think they have multiple branches)
Derk should work for SAIC so you could try travel to shanghai more : )
Always good to try new things!
Amy's video is getting better and better everyday!
Thank you, that's so cool! Have fun!
Hi Amy and Derk👋🏻
Love watching your channel as always! The moon lake is phenomenal, I’d love to visit someday and ride on that toboggan but since you mentioned the long waiting time, I’ll passed too!😂😂😂
Good episode Amy! I’ve been trying new things this year and I must say it’s going great! I’m not going to the Philippines but will be in East Malaysia from end of Sept till early Nov and Japan from early Nov till end of Jan before flying back to Australia. If you plan to head to one of these countries during those times, my Japanese husband and I can recommend some places for you to go (depending on where in Japan and Malaysia) 😊
A bit of a long drive, but maybe up to Harbin? It might be interesting to see things in between you'd miss on the HSR. I wonder if they still illegally put wheat on the road in the countryside.
if you're going to the Philippines, no question you have to try out their infamous ''balut''
Heey!! Here's the 'Bubbly Aussie Blonde' again! Always puts a smile on my face. Nice, this new upload, Thanks and greetz from The Netherlands!
If you’re coming to Philippines and you want Chinese food, try the salted egg crab of Gloria Maris seafood restaurant
Fried Siopao in Chinatown (usually you’ll find long lines here)
Maki Mi in Chuan Kee restaurant also in Chinatown ( it’s pork noodle soup in thick starchy sauce)
Filipino food must try : Dinuguan ( its pork blood and ofals stew)
Crispy Pata ( Fried Pork Leg)
Sisig
Lechon
Kare-Kare : usualy beef stew in peanut butter sauce
Oh ! it looks so tasty! Jianfen and beef pie
Can you try an MSG free day in China? Literally the only thing keeping me from adventuring even the local diverse Chinese fare here in the states. I have a genuine sensitivity to it. I’m 1/2 Korean and have to tread carefully at Korean restaurants too. But a bit easier to avoid.
If you eat potato chips, doritos, any packaged ramen, any soup bouillon, canned soup, prepackaged deli meat, frozen dinners, salad dressing, condiments, hotdogs, sausage, and probably most things you have eaten - they will have MSG in it.
MSG also has other names - yeast extract, vegetable extract, Sodium caseinate, natural flavors, modified enzyme, fortified protein, hydrolyzed soy and and corn protein, soy sauce extract, malt extract, citrate, seasonings, and so many others.
If you don't like eating MSG, then my suggestion is that you can simply try to ask the chefs at the restaurants not to add MSG in the food ( maybe you can tell the waiter or waitress about your preference to see if they can accommodate to your situation). But for other pre-made food or snax, it is hard to avoid MSG for creating an MSG-free environment in food industry since lots of modern industrial food additives contains certain amounts of monosodium glutamate (MSG), like Dashida (다시다) the Korean instant beef stock which is high in salt and MSG, some chips like Doritos and Pringles also contain MSG to boost their flavor. However, personally I still use Dashida in my cooking just because a small stp can make my food taste so much betta😂, my husband who is Korean loves the food when I add a bit of Dashida too😂. Anyways, just try to ask the chef if they can skip adding the MSG if you don't like it, hope you have a nice experience in exploring the Chinese food in your city🎉❤
味精有害是个谎言
MSG, the king of flavor 😆😆
90% of savoury snacks probably have MSG even outside of China
omgggg!! you're finally coming to the Philippines! my home country!! hmmmm as for my food suggestion, knowing that youuu Amy is a big fan of Bingfen I suggest you try Halo-halo! it is a popular cold dessert in the Philippines made up of crushed ice, evaporated milk or coconut milk, and various ingredients you can check out! and if you could, I also suggest "Taho" it is a traditional Filipino sweet snack made with silken tofu, sago, or tapioca pearls, and a simple brown sugar syrup and also, it is commonly served warm. I hope you'll enjoy my country! I'm so looking forward to the vloggg!!!
Hey, Amy, do you have any plan for a food tour to Northwest China, such as Gansu or Ningxia? These places also have many local delicacies.
Can you do some videos on landmarks in China and infrastructure in China like bridges skyscrapers popular location
Also kinda shocked i haven't seen any comments about pansit but you should try every pansit you find
My GF's favorite dish is Xinjiang Chao Mifen!!
I mean, back in my hometown of Zhengzhou, they made a catnip milktea......
Maybe catnip coffee next?
i love this video concept!!
I will be in the Philippines during September and October. This will be my third visit. My food suggestion-try everything! Halo halo is an excellent dessert choice. Humba is my favorite meal. Sisig is a good choice also, as is adobo. Most of my time is spent in Digos City, so fresh seafood is on the menu just about everyday. BBQ at a night market is always a great choice; my personal favorite is BBQ offal.
Don't forget to check out Jollibee! You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Ligtas na paglalakbay
Thank you so much!!
Ypu may also want to try visiting Manila's Chinatown in Binondo and compare Chinese food from the diaspora!
I've enjoyed the Chinatown in Davao as well
@@AngAlyssa
is it safe in Philippines? scammers taxi and etc? thief snatching phones?
I have found the most dangerous thing in the Philippines to be Manila traffic, As with anywhere else when traveling, or at home, you need to be aware of what is going on around you, but my experience has been that Filipinos are the most welcoming and kind-hearted people that I have ever met. @@jasonsiy8785
Welcome to the Philippines, you should try adobo, sisig, sinigang and liempo barbecue!
When you said “we have arrived in one piece” I thought it was a place name in China 😂
Nothing like back in 2016 anymore! That was the last time I was there! They only had 2-3 metro lines back then!
looks great
You need to try a steak and kidney pie in a bun, put a fair amount of butter on the bun, then a wedge of good cheese, and add the pie, it’s absolute heaven.
Wow, when you go through the rainforest, it seem you in the Jurassic world....😂🤗👏👍💕💖
I just love watching Amy's vlogs with a glass of whiskey, it's like doing a mental yoga. Love from Boston/Hainan. 🥰
you should upload how you get your driverlisence in china ，that will be fun
I'm always craving chinese food after watching your videos! I'd like to see chinese supermarket snacks - can you really get chicken feet in the snack aisle?
哈哈哈，yes！
yes😂You can also get duck neck.
Qinhuangdao is a good place to go lots of seafood perfect for seafood lovers❤🦐
Amy, there is a small coffee shop in Shanghai selling ice old vinegar expresso , actually not bad
Phillipines.... ya got to try the Balut, Amy & Derk!!! 😁👍
you two make a lovely couple!
It's also not so good to press beeper when you drive in China,at least in Beijing. You may make people annoying and even angry. Then, you will in trouble to get through the road any further.
现在是暑假出游的高峰期，连大西北都贼多人，我刚结束大西北的旅行，推荐自驾游，就是要做好准备，因为路途很遥远，可以到当地租车❤
Thank you for another interesting video, it's always nice to see new things.
I would kill for that breakfast, it's right up my alley. It was funny seeing the clip of you and Derk reuniting, it's hard to remember the time when you were appart, shall we call it BD?
Another great video! Would love to see you and Derk having road trip in China, maybe Yunan😊
I have never seen so many 'do not' signs on any metro train before!!!
Staying out of your comfort zone is great! Stay motivated and stay awesome. Whackbang!
Went on one of the downhill carts at the great wall, there was no one in front haha I nearly died 😂😂😂
You can go to Thailand or Bali, Indonesia
We have a tobbogan like this in my hometown in Austria, where they say it's the longest in the world. So I always wonder if that's really true. Do you know how long this one was? Ours is like 3.5km.
Why not go to Xinjiang to taste Xinjiang cuisine? Always waiting for your trip to Xinjiang. It would be better if you both go to Xinjiang together, it will be a nice trip.
oh philippines! there are quite some chinese restaurants in makati and bgc area
Go and test drive a NIO ET7 for a good experience in electric vehicle.
Thanks
Here in LA there are some really rude drivers....those in NY and NJ are even worse 😅
I don’t even have notifications on but somehow arrived here incredibly early lol - excited to watch 💪💪
I like the doiley sleeve on your shirt
Nice Tshirt Derk!
Come to Montreal!
There are indeed many pedestrians jaywalking and crossing the road in China, but no matter where you are, it is impolite to honk behind pedestrians.
I've never been to these places before, can't believe I need a foreigner to introduce my home city😓
Great sharing.
it is so funny, Changchun is the city where i completed my university studies. And Montreal is where I am living now, and your boyfriend has a Montreal t-shirt.
Driving in Guangzhou is crazy
Good video mate
Another wonderful video!
Amy: it's a very nice car to drive, very smooth.
Me: hmm, nice car, Im interested😊
Then Derk Zoomed in the audi brand.
Me: oh, nvm, cant afford it now😅😅
I had tried this tomato rosemary latte at Starbucks;) Agree, weird taste hahahaha
