OMG, the panda is so cute!! I’m so insanely jealous that she sat with a panda and got to touch it. I’m so in love with pandas.
Definitely a highlight of the trip (and maybe her life?) 🐼
Love how the super cute panda turned to look at her! Pandas are just too cute and adorable!
🐼🐼🐼
Thank you so much for introducing China to the world. We need more good people like you to help haters understand more about our beautiful country.
I really enjoyed my time there and started learning Mandarin when I got back. 学中文太难了！
你说的对
Thom Gibson you need more time to learn Mandarin ,my friend learned
Chinese ten and more years , his Chinese is still not very good ，like some Chinese learn English.
@@gibsonedu Thanks for sharing your amazing trip to the audience, I like watching your video.
World hate chinese government....not chinese people or it's culture. Even people china's amazing growth and it's effort to bring people out of poverty.
The panda is so professional lolololololol
Such a pro 🐼
So lovely, the panda should be hungry that has no time to hug you.
Super hungry, but had time to smile
If not, u might be attacked
@@gibsonedu I wonder why don't she kiss the panda's head? She can do it as she wish..
It's dangerous to nearly it, because panda can do Kung Fu
It's true. I almost had to do jiu jitsu.
As a Chinese , I never been that close to a panda before！I'm so jealous of you！🥺I need go to Chengdu next time！
It was a very special experience 😃
Your smile was so precious when you were with the panda, lol
Definitely a bucket list item for Sara ;)
So is the panda, so lovely picture
THAT WAS SO COOL! Seat together and enjoy happy life, awesome!
It was a lot of fun. Thanks Tyler!
Sara: awww, you are so cute!
Ya-Shi: nom nom nom
Sara: We love you!
Ya-Shi: munch munch munch
Sara: Bye ~!
Ya-Shi: Say what ?
That’s pretty much how it went down 🐼 👧
The panda wants a kiss , you are so lucky
Super cute panda! It's cool that Sara did the voiceover for this one. Great video guys.
+Traveling Teachers Thanks guys! Yeah it was fun getting her involved more in this one. I asked if she was ready to start her voiceover career. She said 10 min was enough for her and that she was getting claustrophobic in the little recording closet. Haha.
Panda and your smile just cure everything!
Best ending ever!!! That was amazing!
Thanks Haney! :) It was fun putting that part together.
can't tell you how excited i've been to see this episode!!!! PANDAS!!!!! :D
+lumples11 Awesome! Was excited to put this one together :]
Oh my goodness, I have officially added this to my bucket list! I LOVE pandas & this seems like something to cherish forever.♥️♥️ Not quite sure about squid on a stick tho lol😊
Shannon Dominguez It was a pretty magical experience (the panda, not the squid) 🐼 > 🦑
That panda is the cutest thing on earth, a good eater too! Thx for the video!
Thanks for watching TC :) Sara had a blast getting to hang out with Ya-Shi
love the video blog. You guys made me miss China.
I love Chengdu, love the city and its street food. Of course the panda too :)
Really loved the food too!
Your love of pandas is so sweet and infectious!
Top bucket list item for Sara ;)
You guys are great people especially your son! Loving and happy. Thank you
Ha, he actually wasn't our son, just another panda lover with our group that went :)
"Even better than being born" 😂
Haha. That kid knows what's up.
Thanks for uploading. Awesome video :)
谢谢!
This is so awesome. And the people surely looked very friendly. And the panda, too!
He was the best!
Nice video. Thank you for taking your young son to experience China so he can learn first hand what it’s like there. Invaluable experience for him.
Thanks! He wasn't actually our son, just another person in our travel group, but it was good to bond with him over love for the panda!
This is amazing when you can sit next to kung fu panda!!
As a Chinese, I like your video very much, perfect!
谢谢！
My heart melted! sooooo cute!
Sara's heart melted too :)
Very cool video! I found you because of your Robotics class and then discovered that you went to Chengdu. I used to live and study at a local university there near Jinli Street. I also got to hold a panda. It was SO FUN!
Nice! Jinli was beautiful. Did you end up becoming pretty fluent in Mandarin? I've been studying for about a year and can have pretty basic and poor conversation. Haha.
I definitely learned more Mandarin living in Chengdu and attending 西南民族大学 for almost a year than I did studying Chinese in the states for several years. Being there forced me to practice every minute. I look forward to being fluent one day. I wish I had a video blog then. Thanks for taking me down memory lane guys!
Yeah nothing like immersion. I've got several Chinese international students at my school that I practice with sometimes. Taking the Mandarin class for high schoolers right now since I have a free period when it's offered.
Great idea to practice with international students. I was the exchange student in China, so I found a language partner to help them improve their English at the same time. When I really need to polish my language skills, I watch CCTV News on the apps I still have on my phone. I let it play for hours to train my ear to recognize Mandarin at a native speed. Language podcasts and the Google Translate app allow me to talk to myself to test if Google recognizes what I'm saying in Mandarin. If I speak too slowly, it stops listening and I have to start over, so it forces me to think faster. Wishing you all the best in your Mandarin studies. I will return to Chengdu next year and vlog in Mandarin, so I begin a Mandarin refresher course soon.
I found the best vocab app was Skritter. $15/mo but worth it. Native speakers saying the words, reviews the ones you miss more often, quizzes you on tones, and the desktop version has the word in a sentence read by a native speaker that you can sort of quiz yourself on the meaning of before you reveal it. I dig it. Let me know when you've got some Mandarin vlogs up! Would love to see them and practice my listening :) Sometimes it's easier to understand another English speaker speaking Mandarin than a native speaker ;)
wow up n close personal photoshoot with everybody favourite celebrity.
You know it 🐼
the panda is so cute!
He was!
Last year ,I went to Chengdu，but I didn’t go to see panda,I love it,thank you for sharing ...
It was the main reason we went to China :) 🐼🐼🐼🐼
Pretty！ thanks for ur sharing
Thanks for watching :)
cute panda cute lady and what a cute kid🥰He even said best day of his life even than being born 😂🤪
Ha! He is not our kid, just another tourist that went with us, but it was fun watching him enjoy himself too.
Panda: where is my tribute, human?
awesome!
It was awesome :)
Wow...I'm Chinese but I've never seen a real panda. Glad you had a good time in Chengdu!
Yeah we had a blast :)
Buying experiences on many occasions beats buying things.
the panda is so chill hahahahahaha so cute!
Super chill. 🐼🐼
OMG. The panda felled in love with you. ☺️☺️
And Sara loved him too :)
China is beautiful.
It is 🇨🇳
欢迎来四川
谢谢！我们很高兴去过四川!
I spent a few hours there last year and especially liked the panda babies! Thought the panda hugging experience was a bit expensive for 20 seconds (2000 RMB or 300 USD I think?), and I was travelling alone and no one can take a full video for me lol. Also I travelled from Shenzhen in southern China so only about a few hundred miles, but if you had travelled across the world to see the pandas, it's definitely worth it!
Yes, super expensive and worth it for Sara :) I have a student here in the US that's from Chengdu and he said 'I didn't even know they had this in Chengdu!' Haha.
真的好貴
In America concession foods, they charge you $7 dollar for a small fountain soda.
They do. Too much $$$.
I wish I could visit Panda Research Center in Chengdu, soon
I’m glad we went when we did! Hopefully people will be able to visit the pandas again soon 🐼
Woooo i wanna hug 🐼 too 😆
Do it! Go to Chengdu!
It's really funny and interesting
我们很喜欢我们的中国之行！
wow，cool
对。 太酷了！
I have been binge watching panda videos. I am wondering what is like hugging a panda 🐼
Ha, my wife loved the experience.
熊猫真的太可爱了哦
好有生活气息，好接地气！
Thanks for sharing!
Zero distance great
💁🏼♀️🐼
May be you didn’t find a violent panda video, but I’m telling you they could get aggressive (mostly in the wild when they feel threaten, in a zoo it’s probably cozy and happy), just have 1% cautiousness.
Guess we were living on the edge 🐼
Panda : dang, I am having my beer, no no, I mean bamboo
Panda is so cute
He was :)
i will be there one day, but for the red panda instead of the giant panda. lol... my favorite in the world.
Probably less expensive too!
Panda:-Hug/kiss do whatever you want but keep the bamboo supply comin..
That’s all he needed
I eat my bamboo, you are invisible~
Ya Xi: Hello! I carry on eating, you take photos......
Nomnomnom!
"Not as good as the original"Privileged!!! Lmao
Haha. What can I say.
跟熊猫的合影拍的很棒。
Thanks for sharing!
so much fun!!!
Indeed!
哈哈哈哈哈
Why do I feel hungry when I see this video?🤣
Got the bamboo cravings...
because of panda express?
和熊猫合照的时候，感觉那熊猫真的很像我们四川老大爷，优哉和懒散中还带点小小的嚣张~~~~笑死我了~~
彷彿吃著竹筍喊著：坐啊！
这是四川哪个地方？中心还是基地？
Thanks for joining the conversation!
03:02😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
She was so happy :)
Wish one day I could hold a panda too
Welcome to China
Someday!
Panda: Hey, you want some bamboo?
🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼
你们很幸运了，我见过的熊猫大部分都懒洋洋的一点也不playful lol
Thanks for sharing!
Sir ,How many dollars you spent for taking picture with panda ?
A lot. But worth the money.
Starbucks?! That’s unbelievable.
Wen C So？
They're everywhere!
$15 per sec, expensive!!! Expensive!!
Worth is 😃 🐼
@@gibsonedu 👍😅, as least it made you thrilled 👍👍
do u know the panda has to chew 2 mins of bamboo to give you that smile ? 15 dollar per second is well worth it.
He was chewing like crazy!
Panda:lovely woman? Does she love my bamboo?
Not a fan of bamboo but a fan of the 熊猫！
so cute once time wanna do like this
It was the highlight of the trip for sure. Pretty sure this is the only place in China that will let you do it.
$15 dollars every sec, worth every penny! I don’t even see a penny, it’s all in dollar. That’s an expensive panda visit.
That panda's time isn't cheap ;)
Wow it’s real? Like a man in it
Real 🐼
You're moron! I bet you hate your life as well! Smile a little, laugh a little and let go of all the darkness inside of you before it consumes you! Life is too short. All the best with the rest of your journey. Hope you find true happiness one day.
That huge fur ball is 2 years old?
I know! Not sure how much bigger he will get.
I am very jealous.
it's like she's on her first date... with a panda
She enjoyed every moment :)
Panda likes beautiful girls, if a man went to sit there the panda won’t even have a look at him.
Welcome to China btw
Thanks. I do like that pretty girl in the video ;) We enjoyed our time and China and I've been learning mandarin for about 2 years now since we've been back.
@@gibsonedu He said panda. You are not panda.
there is a intern inside the panda costume~~~~~
It's true. He really got into character. 🐼🐼
Du jiang Yan
Yashi: I am doing this for the Country!
We thank you for your service Yashi :)
How is the pandas hair feel like ? Hard or soft? Never touch them before 😓
Sara said it felt really course and hard!
Thank you for your reply. Hard haired 🐼 is not a pet then.
bamboo gives them hard hair I guess😂
7:05 someone's a panda snob now huh
Haha, only the real thing for her now.
LUCKY!!!!
Totally.
Is that you Poe ?? Where is Shifu and others ?
They took the photo. They were very understanding that we only wanted to sit with Poe :)
@@gibsonedu Now I got it!
Backstage panda passes be like:
Panda: $15/sec. So, in about a whole 1 min & some secs, I will cost you a grand. Also, don't touch my bamboo & we'll be good. K thx.
Worth every penny :)
I am crying with envy.
My wife couldn't believe she actually got to do it :)
hug me, I am a lovely panda~~~~~~~~~~
And he was 😊 🐼
1 million dollars? Or RMB?
Around $300 USD
欢迎再来中国
谢谢！
That panda looked hungry. It was busy eating other wise it probably will scratch you with those sharp claws. Pandas are probably the laziest animal ever existed. They are lucky that they look cuddly to humans so the humans are keeping them alive.
Hungry hungry pandas 🐼
Pandas eat a lot because they eat mainly bamboo, which doesn't provide so much energy.
@@zhenguo2854 They should try to steer the panda to eat plants with higher energy.
Btw, the map of China at the beginning of the video should be included Taiwan.
Thanks for the feedback! Wasn't making a political statement, just trying to show where I was.
How much you paid for selfie with Panda?
I think around $250 or something (it says it in the video I think). Didn't pay for the photo though (I took the photo and video). Just paid for the time to sit with Ya Shi.
Thom Gibson thank you for inform me Mr.gibson 😊
慵懒的熊猫碰到爱笑的美女🤪
呵呵！我爱人喜欢熊猫！
成都 带不走的只有你
🐼🐼🐼
Shes cuter than panda
I agree 👍🏼
KungFu panda
