There are a lot of different taste of potata chips in China, but the best I would recommend the brand called "Jack&Jill", a brand from Hong Kong.
Hi Melissa saw your old video w/ your hubby thats now trending on Fb .. that wedding video clip❤
wish you health all good
nice
Hi! I’ve just moved to Shanghai and have really been enjoying your videos. The plane ride was not the best for my lower back. Do you mind sharing your chiro’s contact?
Some elderly people in China believe in Buddhism. They choose to eat only vegetarian food for a period of time, including not accepting animal oil. Many temples also provide vegetarian food to pilgrims. In addition, when you go to a restaurant, you can say that you are a vegetarian and cannot eat animal oil. Generally, Chinese people believe that animal oil contains other aromatic substances besides fat, so they will add animal oil when stir-frying vegetarian dishes to make the taste more layered, but you can mention that you are a vegetarian, which is not a problem for the chef.
Cool museum, and thank you for sharing.
Really like your videos about your family and your friends' life in Shanghai. Wish you all the best!
Thanks for the open and transparent insights! Really enjoyed watching and learning from you 😊
I’m glad I could help!
Bondie in China is very popular! 😂 You're moving up in the world! Speedy recovery! ❤😊
Nice BGM! Shanghai got so much to do and see, what an amazing city! Love it❤
@10:00 - that woman eats - you have very little contents for her to work with 😂
I am very excited to see your recent life in Shanghai. All the best!
Thank you!! 😊
By 3:46 in the background the girl says with her loudspeaker, “ Please tidy your hair, wipe your saliva and your tear …” It’s hilarious 😅
Bahahaha! Thank you for telling me. That is so funny.
How does Luckin Coffee compared to others?
My husband doesn't like it because the coconut milk is really sweet. We both prefer Manner but I can't drink the oat milk here in China unfortunately. But it's good. The price is amazing.
Some "wierd" items sold there are also sold in the US Costco.
It is not a marriage market. It is a place where parents want to get their kids dates and hopefully it will end with a great match potential. Unlike in the west, people over certain age in Asia usually date with marriage in minds , not just for the sake of dating or play around.
That area where they are looking for a life partner is interesting. I wonder how successful it is. Get well soon.
That's a great question! I have no idea.
@@melissa_renee Oh, and congrats on your acting. Forgot to say that.
Melissa in Qipao is gorgeous!
And get well soon, Melissa!
Thank you Alvin!
Love the serene and peaceful vibe of your video. All the best!
Thank you so much 🙂 That means a lot to me.
Happy Valley seems cute! I love your hair that you got done in the way you did! It looks nice. I am so not a rides person at all. I would love a potato on a stick though. We have a "Wild West City" in NJ that is probably like your "Frontier City" or whatever you said it was called. I love the beautiful costumes shown at the one portion of your video before it faded out into you getting some more food. Poop tea is good????? I am so confused. Sorry to hear about the edema issue. I am glad your procedure went well.
Hahaha, yeah I'm not sure about the poop tea but it does taste good. I don't think it's ACTUAL poop... I hope.
Things will go well.wish you luck
What a beautiful couple! Your smiles warm my heart!
Thank you so much!
Did anyone mention that Benden look like Viggo Mortensen?🤔🤭. btw, get well soon 💪
Haha! No never, but I totally see that! Thanks for the compliment.
Glad it went well. Speedy recovery to you
Thank you!
Wish you a speedy recovery!!!
Thank you!
Rest well and wish you a speedy recovery, Melissa. Have been enjoying your videos all the time and expecting more to come. Thank you for sharing your and your family's life in Shanghai.
Thank you so much! I'll keep them coming!
I wish you speedy recover Melissa. I'm very happy to see you and your family enjoying themselves in Happy Valley. The roller coaster is a very exciting project. At the same time, I think Universal Studios Beijing is also a good choice because I like Harry Potter very much.
Yes, I agree. We would love to see Harry Potter world!
get well soon. Thanks for sharing your live in SHhanghai with us.
Thank you!
haha, blondieinchina aka amy is very popular in china, has over 1m subscribers on bilibili.
Woow I’ve been there (Sbucks store)!!! But didn’t realize it was their biggest store in Asia (or World?) 😂
14:37 You call this a hospital? This is a hotel...🤩 Glad to see you're back online
This is a private hospital. Most local people in China go to public hospitals which are not as expensive. There are definitely no hotel like rooms for patients in public hospitals.
@@vc3492 The rooms in public hospitals are nice too though, my grandpa was in one in Harbin in the early 2000s and his room was comparable to this one with a private bathroom, flatscreen TV and long couch that could be turned into a bed.
@@jzvr5842 not sure if you have connections in the Hospital or it was VIP rooms costing more. Had family members stayed in the best public hospitals in Shanghai, the service was terrible and the hygiene was subpar. Some patients from other small towns commented that even hospitals in their hometown are cleaner than these in Shanghai. I can write a book about hospital experience in shanghai as locals. It's not all rosy pictures living there and it is my hometown.
@jzvr5842 Your family may have connections with people in the hospital, or that was a VIP room that your Grandpa stayed, or that was the private service side of the public hospital which offers this kind of room. As general public, if you don't have connections or do not want to pay extra costs, you get a shared room with other patients. Some hospitals don't even separate male and female patients. The service was terrible and hygiene was supbar. Some patients from other provinces or small towns even commented hospitals in their hometowns have better hygiene than this supposed to be one of the best hospitals in the country. The above is first hand experience and shanghai is my hometown.
Lovely video…..
thank you!
wish you speedy recovery, again love the BGM
Thank you so much!
wish you a speedy recovery, best wishes
Thank you so much!!
gluten free diet will help
P.S. R.A. is quite a common small out-patient procedure here in the States...., we are not that backwards Melissa :). Hope you did enjoy the last legal high ( your local anesthesia ) :).
We are still up at 3 AM in New England :)....., patients patients and more patients .... It's awesome to learn that you had the R.A. (Radiofrequency Ablation) done! Although those growths are usually harmless but It's better to have them removed. Since it's an out-patient procedure here in the States, so we usually kick our patients' you know what out the very same day instead of putting them up in a 'hotel room' over night :). Hey, have you heard Hollywood is going to do a "Gone With The Wind" remake, and they are looking for a very talented lady / actress to play Melanie Hamilton ???
Haha, I don't think my acting chops could go that far. but I appreciate your comment. haha
Sending lots of well wishes 🤗
hi Melissa, I wish you a speedy recovery. Please send my regards to your lovely family .... Greetings from Hong Kong
Thank you!!
