Sending love from Canada, love the aesthetic and how busy it gets in Hong Kong for CNY. Hope to visit someday, everything you both ate looks so good. The interaction with the auntie at 12:20 is so wholesome 😂
i am watching from Calgary, Alberta. Neat to see the huge crowds getting ready for lunar new year. Hong Kong has a great atmosphere, retro, run down, shops, peoples lives every where.
Where tradition and innovation collide, creating a city that's both ancient and futuristic. And truth be told, it's a city that's small enough to walk, but big enough to get lost in. I suddenly remembered the time I spent there to film one of our TV show episode. I enjoyed every hour I stayed there.
That server guy knows how to photo. Turned out so pretty, actually! I’m binge watching your vlogs, they are so aesthetically pleasing. Enjoying it so much! Happy new lunar year, wish good health to both of you Victor and Sam!
Hello from Russia! Started watch your Japan vlogs and now I can’t stop. Your videos are little pieces of art, so cozy and relaxing. Waiting for next videos🤎
I was in HK this time last week - I already miss it so much!! Ireland is very dull and grey by comparison ... but watching your vlogs cheers me up, hopefully I will get back to Hong Kong soon!
I've never wanted to visit Hong Kong more than seeing this video and seeing all the sights and food! I love the aesthetic of your flat, so gorgeous! Great video
ahh what a beautiful vlog! watching this (especially the final part) made me so happy :) love how you decorated your space and sam, i love your nails! looking forward to the next one
this is making me emo i miss my summer in hong kong!! the vibe of your home with the lunar new year decorations is immaculate omg makes me want to decor as well!
server was a hoot ... have a happy new year! I'm not Chinese but I've been giving out red envelopes for the past 4 or 5 years and I love doing it ... this is my year and I'm excited to spend part of it at Disneyland lunar new year this year 🐉🧧
Chinese New Year vs. Lunar New Year - Know the Differences Simply put, Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year are not the same, although they are very much connected. In a casual conversation, both terms can be used interchangeably as synonyms. However, in a more strict cultural environment, it is necessary to understand the differences between the two. About Chinese New Year Chinese New Year goes beyond the commonly-known animal zodiac system and incorporates other cultural and religious elements from ancient Chinese culture.For example, Chinese New Year marks not only the change of the zodiac but the change of the heavenly stems (“天干”) and earthly branches (“地支”) - a unique way of using specific characters to mark a calendar year.The Chinese New Year also entails specific rituals. Such as giving red envelopes, setting off firecrackers to scare off Nian (“年”), dragon and lion dances,etc About Lunar New Year While Lunar New Year is usually celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year, it does fall on a different day for some countries. For example, many cultures celebrate on the first instead of the second new moon after the winter solstice.Moreover, although many other Asian countries celebrate Lunar New Year, these countries do not endorse the Chinese cultural elements From the many Chinese elements showcasing in this video, it's very obvious that you're celebrating Chinese New Year, not Lunar New Year, but of course you're free to use Lunar New Year as you like, just one thing, be consistent, don't mix them up!
love the vibe of this video and that you mainly went to local cha chan tengs. also corned beef and egg sando is such an underrated cct item, i love it!
I've just found you guys while looking for some cny decoration inspo, I guess it's too late to decorate now but I'll try my best to put something. Thank you so much, many blessings and love from Argentina 🎊🐲🎆🐉🌸🥮🌛🧧
Thank you for yet another great vlog, your sense of style is impeccable, love your Chinese New Year decorations, loved seeing different streets in Hong Kong, Iam in Tampa Florida, wishing I was back in Hong Kong, all the best to both of you!
Hi! First off I must say that you can really see that Victor has lost weight- not only in his body but his face looks very thin. I lost forty pounds recently myself and although my clothes are too big to wear, my face doesn’t look much thinner to me. With all of those delicious buns and pastries you’ve managed to balance your diet well. 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. The CNY decorations looked great! Just looking at all of the shops with so many choices gave me “Red” overload! I must say it is indeed beautiful and definitely a great photo back drop. All of the flowers are so beautiful. I was wondering if they all sell out during the CNY or do they have a longer “shelf” life. Here in the USA, sometimes after a funeral or if someone receives flowers while in the hospital, they donate the abundance of flowers received to a nursing home etc. so that someone else might enjoy them. It would be a pity to just see all of the non-purchased flowers go to waste. Your apartment looks so festive- looking forward to celebrating with you! ❤️🌟🥰🐉🐲
victor ... with you eating so much paper from the bread , the server must think you have issues LOL Love your vlogs and especially you interacting with the staff! too funny.
Love! Your videos have been the inspiration for my trip to HK last year. I'm going there again next weekend and I have one question (sorry if it's out of topic): Is it true that Lin Heung Kui the tea house is now closed? Thank you..
This vlog was terrific. I really loved the parts where the server was asking you questions about all sorts of things. Were you speaking in Cantonese then? I felt so sorry for Victor having issues with paper under the buns. Lovely to see all the CNY decorations and my beautiful Wan Chai. Thanks for a beaut vlog.
Love the HK style cafe! Those pineapple breads could be a problem though…😂 Everything tastes better with butter right?😉 The flower market looks so pretty! Also can’t wait to see all of CNY decor around the city! Your CNY decor for the house is so lovely! 🐲🏮 Enjoy preparations for the holiday and can’t wait to see your CNY vlog! ❤
❤❤❤ Thank you for another vlog! I think I should head over to HK to celebrate CNY. 🎉 Love all the HK cafes you explore, need to hit them all! 😂 the pineapple bun with butter looks 🔥 I love Kam Wah! Definitely my go to spot! I guess Victor loves the paper! Is it that cold there?!
