This 'special' cup of hand brewed acidic and fruity coffee is exactly my thing. 3rd wave coffee FTW. I hope China will not consume all the good coffee now. There is not enough going around as it is for the whole planet. :D But if it means places like Vietnam will stop stelling their low quality crap directly to Nescafee and instead grow nice coffee, then I'm all for it I guess.
Hey I just moved to shenzhen 3 days ago from the US, as unavoidable as the shock is, all of yours and C-Milks videos were really helpful in preparing me for the move. Very thankful for all the info on your channel, would love to meet up and buy you a beer if you get a chance
I wish I was closer. I’m in Shanghai and their videos also helped me with my move from the U.S. I’d love to meet them as well but I’m a little too far north.
This is great stuff. I had suggested this on Serpentza channel but other people were not receptive to the idea. Glad to see I'm not alone interested in having these guys interacting with locals.
I am Canadian, probably one of your more mature viewers and very much enjoy all your videos mainly because they give us an up to date idea of everyday life in China. I will be visiting China for 3 weeks in September with an organized tour and have read quite a few books in preparation for my trip and they have given me great historical background. Your videos are a welcomed complement to my getting a better understanding of this fascinating country which I look forward to visiting and I thank you for that. I was in Taiwan last year and find a lot of similarities...on a smaller scale. Keep up the good work!
Hey there, I just found your channel and as an expat living in China for going on eight years - I've gotta say everything I've seen on your channel so far is spot on. Thanks for making these - it's good that people understand what life is like here.
I remember years ago when the coffee shops appeared everywhere in Brisbane. they were around before, but not in every building lobby etc. People came in droves from the floors above and streets to meet up and talk business or have a meeting or at night a place to meet up. Keep up the great work, you guys do a wonderful job of giving us a different insight into another country, it's AWESOME
Some "historical" perspective: When I studied at Fudan in Shanghai in 1987/88 (30 years ago! I can hardly believe it!), there were HUGE marketing campaigns by Nestlé and Maxwell House to convince the Chinese people that freeze-dried coffee was an awesome drink! When you asked Chinese friends whether they liked coffee, nine out of ten would admit that they actually hated the bitter taste. But the marketing campaign was a huge success! People had a big Nescafé glass sitting prominently on their living room cabinet, as a status symbol.
Winston, you are right about not being able to get a decent cup of coffee in America. I like my coffee at home but when I get out and want a cup, unless I go to a diner that serves breakfast. There is always good coffee at a restaurant.
I love hearing from the random people who get included in your videos :) feels so much more real in a sense! Also, I'm assuming Majong is quite popular there? What other board games are most popular or surging in popularity? :o
This is one of my favorite videos that you guys have done in a while. I love watching you guys half asleep just sitting there drinking coffee and talking!I'm watching this while I'm making breakfast myself! [french toast]
Always drank coffee to stay awake (42 years truck driver) and as a young whippersnapper would have never believed people would flock to buy coffee in America. Now as a motorcycle bum I drink tea / coffee / water and kabucha. Love the vids!
I first got hooked on coffee when I had an unintentionally massive cappuccino at a place called Jamaica Blue in Shanghai, no idea if it's a chain or not. Later that same morning me and my dad stopped into a New Zealand themed cafe (we're nzers ourselves) and had a bloody flat white, the signature coffee of our country... Ridiculous first morning in Shanghai lol
Love this video it highlights the struggle of early morning coffee drinkers in China, I am very happy that a Pacific Coffee has finally opened in Huizhou. Their coffee is so much better than Starbucks.
Has "cold brew" coffee caught on yet in China? It's catching on quickly in America. It has all the full-bodied coffee flavor without needing sugar or cream to cover the bitterness or acidity, but requires 8-12 hours to steep in cold water instead of a couple of minutes in boiling water, so there's planning involved, and less aroma. And for Chinese, not being a hot liquid might also be a problem.
I'm about to end my trip in Seoul, South Korea. Man, coffee shops are super popular over here. My brother, a coffee drinker, was surprised to see the difference between coffee culture in China vs South Korea. He complained that coffee is too scarce and expensive in China and once we came to Korea, saw a massive difference in the availability and price for a cup of coffee. If China follows suit, coffee will be a huge business as it is in South Korea. Starbucks is starting to appear more in my tier 3 city and there is a "Potato's Coffee House" that opened up near my home. I assume this is one of the coffee shops that were started by some young entrepreneurs as you mentioned in your video. Whatever the case is, I don't really care hahah. I never liked coffee but perhaps I can profit in some way if it becomes more popular.
You'd probably be surprised to find out that some European countries like Moldova didn't have any coffee habits just until a few years ago. It is now a rising business but it did not exist until 2-3 years ago.
It doesn't surprise me at all, as Moldova is a very poor country. Modern café culture is all about expensive coffee drinks and food, it requires a lot of purchasing power/disposable income.
I was talking about the popularity of the drink itself, and a country being poor has nothing to do with coffee shops. In Bulgaria, even in the years of hyperinflation(1995-1996-1997) the one truly successful business was owning a coffee shop, coffee was cheap and abundant. Culturally Moldova is quite close to Russia and people there predominantly drink tea, that's the explanation.
yeah but theres countries that are wealthy and don't necessarily have a culture of mainly drinking in coffee shops and my homeland finland is a great example. we basically drink coffee like it's beer, and believe me, we drink a LOT of beer too! you might wanna look up some statistics for it :D what's important to us is just that the coffee tastes alright and the price is reasonable, and most people add a slight bit of milk and/or sugar on it, myself and some others just drinking it black those pseudocoffees like starbucks are a pretty new thing here, of course we've had cappuccino and espresso for years in some places but it was never that big of a deal, most people just got a cup of normal coffee for their caffeine fix haha
I guess that all they knew before was sub par coffee powder, just like they had it in the sowjet army. Also coffee culture has predominantly been a western thing. It was always big in Italy, Switzerland, Austria (Vienna), France and Spain as well as in Colombia, Brasil or South America in general. Apart from that the Middle East is known as a coffee region, too.
I saw the sign that read sandwiches in the second cafe and I wonder if they had proper western sandwiches? One of the neatest experiences I've ever had was teaching a Chinese teen how to make a sandwich at a church lunch here in Canada because he had absolutely no idea what a sandwich was.
You get normally big fine from drunk driving. When you are over 1,25 ‰ (per mil) drunk you can get jail or fine and over 1,75 ‰ it is always jail i think. If you kill somebody or happens big accident when you drunk driving, you can get jailed also. Confiscation happens normally if you are driving repeatedly drunk. And you lost your driving license of course too, but if you buy breath analyzer for car that is connected to starting system you can continue driving without confiscation of driving license sometimes.
Thanks for the video & you too, stay awesome! Living in HK and drinking coffee (咖啡 = "café" - pronounced the same as in French) while watching. There are many many small restaurants open from 7am, for workers to have a meal (which I do occasionally, with wonton noodles = 雲吞麺, before starting in the morning!). I agree with you, regarding usually-watered-down "coffee" in the US and Canada. Had a laugh for Pacific Coffee, which is my primary provider of caffeinated juice, but I prefer good old home-made dark coffee. These places are a main recruiting hub here (got a couple interviews and landed a job in a Starbucks, myself). Also, away from expats neighborhoods, there are a couple of great coffee shops (the artisanal kind).
here (Macedonia) we drink allot of coffee... normally people drink turkish coffee at home at least 3 times per day but if they are free they will go 3 times to coffee shop with friends and drink espresso, nescafe or macchiato mostly... coffee at coffee shops is from 0,8 euros to 1,5 euros and the average monthly salary is 200-300 euros... we drink tea only when we are ill... :)
Gardener Earth Guy Sleep deprivation can cause stoicism? That would mean restricting healthy hours of sleep instigates better willpower when studying for long sessions. It's just antithetical lol.
I absolutely love your channel! I love comparing my western life to my stay here in China. I am definitely returning next year and I'm thinking about moving here when I'm older.
Just recently found your channel, been watching the backlog of videos and I have to say I really enjoy them. It's great to see a different country and culture through the eyes of someone like you two, hear the views and comments and see how well you've adapted to your new home. As a side note: the more I've watched, the more that theme song of yours has started to sink into my brain. Can't help but smile every time I hear it, now! :)
it was interesting to hear you speak to the barista in the second place. since you both speak Chinese maybe that's something you could do in future videos - sort of like 'what your average zhou in China thinks about x' or something. would be cool I reckon.
Gotta say, you two have a great formula here. As a production guy myself, I love the way you arrange your shows, play with different technologies and keep things honest. Also, Churchill's coffee snobbery is to be admired and applauded. Life's too short for piss weak stained water masquerading as coffee.
Fuck that. Tea is where it's at. There's no going back once you Gongfu brew some Sheng Puer or Wuyi Rock Oolongs. That said, I highly suspect Yunnan coffee will explode in the next few years.
I never developed a taste for coffee, which I assume has probably saved me a bundle over the years. Guess I'd more likely be in that tea and Mahjong crowd... if I could play Mahjong
I'm about to move to Nanjing and have really enjoyed the videos on ADVChina and your personal accounts. Found your videos very informative and they have helped me prepare for my move!
Gosh, this brings back memories! When I used to live in China, I used to STAY in those coffee shops mostly for the internet, the cookies, and to finish work.
"Acidic and fruity...just like him." LMFAO. Nice one. I can't tell whether I liked the remark or the reaction + camera zoom more lol. Even videos as simple as this, I find entertaining. It's not just bcuz I'm learning so much about a foreign land/culture, but I genuinely could listen to you guys talk about how your tooth brushing experience went this morning. You are 2 entertaining, insightful fellas. Till the next video, guys. *tips fedora*
Much appreciate you guys and all you share about the westerners experience in China. One can learn more about modern China watching your videos than anywhere else!
Good to know about coffee in China! I usually go to HKG which I find it no problem. I must say that because of you guys, I'm hooked on Jüri now! I never heard of him, and yet he is so talented. Thank you!! :)
Hi guys I am a new TH-cam user and discovered your videos. Just love them. You have given me a real insite to life in China. Thanks keep up the good work.
Pacific coffee isn't from America! I googled it when I was living in HK when my friends were like "you're from the Pacific Northwest in the US, isn't there any Pacific coffee?" Nope it's based in HK lol
No kidding, China has some great coffee. You can go to Mcdonalds and seriously get a decent cup meanwhile, here in the US, it's undrinkable. I have had some tremendous cups of coffee in China. Who knew...... Stay Awesome!
Interesting factoid: I don't know how the ad system works on TH-cam, but all your videos seem to feature dating site ads. I like how you guys make the Chinese translations sound more colloquial than they actually are. They still convey the same meaning, it just gives me a bit of a chuckle.
My TH-cam video recommendations include videos I have just watched and even my frickin' own videos, so that's that. Google doesn't want to be smart, they just want to make money.
They have McDonald's,Pizza Hut, KFC,Burger King,subway and more in china but Hong Kong has more western chains but serpantza already made a video about this.
Hey been watching your videos and really enjoy the stuff you talk about. This is such a nice place. Looking forward to bring my family to visit. Thanks!
Awe man now I want a cup of coffee !!!!! Thank guys for all the great videos I always wanted to see Asia and these videos help out a lot. I just hope that shiznit with N.Korea does not kick off or there will be no chance of seeing this in the future.
Taiwanese people drink tons of coffee and tea, no shits given about too much caffeine. Older asians drink tea as water. Just water it down through the day.
What is the sex culture like in China? what is the young people's attitude, like pre-marital sex, experimental stuff, kinky stuff? I have a preconception that it's a very conservative society in regard of sex, from what I heard even porn is banned. I could be very wrong.
Vancouver is not in China, so a pretty big difference. Also, not every Asian is Chinese. Russians, Pakistanis, Israelis, Indians, Japanese, and many others, are also Asians, so having a Canadian Starbucks with various Asians is not even close to coffee in China.
+DonD512 You take drinking coffee for granted, so you don't realize the cultural moving forces that would lead you to drink coffee on a regular basis. +azn north Citing examples of Asian people drinking coffee in western countries is absolutely retarded and extremely different from the topic of the video. It is normal to drink coffee in western countries, but it's a rather new and foreign thing in other parts of the world.
A month or so ago I unsubscribed from all 3 of you guys' channels because I kind of overdosed on them. But lately I felt I missed you guys, so tonight I re-subscribed LOL!
Greetings from El Salvador, hoped you liked that coffee. My eyes opened wide af when you mentioned my country, we never have any protagonism haha. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Hey that was the Mix C mall. That Pacific Coffee was closed for awhile while they remodeled. They had a small kiosk outside for a bit selling a few things. Honestly I do love coffee but I find that in a lot of the smaller towns they don't have a lot of good coffee, and of course no Pacific Coffee in my town.
I've been watching Winston´s video for at least 2 years now, I'm used to see him in suit long ago, but its actually making me go a bit crazy lately when i see him wear a suit in sommer in China! especially when C-milk next to him is wearing a t-shirt
Very injoyable a nice light and breezy post brings back memories of us in Pacific Coffee all over China I think Malaysia and Singapore as well stay safe you pair and enjoy yourselves oh we thought you both lived in Shenzen
I used to run a company that had many chinese clients living in the UK. Every time I visited them, they always told me they went out and bought coffee especially for me. Non of them drank it themselves. I actually started asking them for tea because I felt so bad that they kept disappearing to the shops to buy coffee for me.
@ 8:24 the guy says it is some "dank" stuff, is dank a type of hip word or how is that meant? To me dank has a negative connotation because it reminds me of musty, mold, unclean, smelly in an unflattering way.
That barista was a nice dude!
This 'special' cup of hand brewed acidic and fruity coffee is exactly my thing. 3rd wave coffee FTW.
I hope China will not consume all the good coffee now. There is not enough going around as it is for the whole planet. :D
But if it means places like Vietnam will stop stelling their low quality crap directly to Nescafee and instead grow nice coffee, then I'm all for it I guess.
He is cute too
A Chinese province Yunnan plants high quality coffee
His translations aren't completely accurate lol. Serpentza basically approximates what the chinese people say with western slang. Guy was a bro tho
Tilman Baumann I hope China dips hard into coffee, because my family has a small coffee plantation over here in Colombia, :D
Hey I just moved to shenzhen 3 days ago from the US, as unavoidable as the shock is, all of yours and C-Milks videos were really helpful in preparing me for the move. Very thankful for all the info on your channel, would love to meet up and buy you a beer if you get a chance
Patrick Sansom
Winston is always down to meet subscribers, I meet him 2 weeks ago.
I wish I was closer. I’m in Shanghai and their videos also helped me with my move from the U.S. I’d love to meet them as well but I’m a little too far north.
Good times
Sweden: 1168 cups per year. Finland: 1277 cpy. Norway/Denmark: 1131 cpy. Some nonsense coffee facts for you there. :-)
I like seeing you guys speak Mandarin with random people. please do it more!
Even weirder for me - I think I understood Cmilk's Mandarin for the most part. Wow!
This is great stuff. I had suggested this on Serpentza channel but other people were not receptive to the idea. Glad to see I'm not alone interested in having these guys interacting with locals.
C-Milk doing subtitles is always hilarious!
+Rick C "This is some dank stuff right here" lol
Cmilk's mandarin's actually pretty good. It's good even for Chinese locals.
I like how the subtitles are always extra spicy. :D
I am Canadian, probably one of your more mature viewers and very much enjoy all your videos mainly because they give us an up to date idea of everyday life in China. I will be visiting China for 3 weeks in September with an organized tour and have read quite a few books in preparation for my trip and they have given me great historical background. Your videos are a welcomed complement to my getting a better understanding of this fascinating country which I look forward to visiting and I thank you for that.
I was in Taiwan last year and find a lot of similarities...on a smaller scale.
Keep up the good work!

The worst coffee in the world is that burnt nasty stuff that starbucks sells
Burnt coffee...
Nah Instant coffee is worse

In Finland we drink coffee 12 kg per capita in year. It's about 1200 cups per year.
In Finland is estimated that 0,133% are drunken drivers. 1 of 750 drivers is drunk. Police test every time with breath analyzer if they stop you.
You get normally big fine from drunk driving. When you are over 1,25 ‰ (per mil) drunk you can get jail or fine and over 1,75 ‰ it is always jail i think. If you kill somebody or happens big accident when you drunk driving, you can get jailed also. Confiscation happens normally if you are driving repeatedly drunk.

who fucking cares about Macedonia? LOL
@FoodforThought who asked you if anyone cares?
Really interesting contend as usual! I'm happy to learn more about live in China from you guys. Thanks for sharing!
C-Milk seems to become more and more stoic in his attitude.
Probably comes from being a father now.
Bottlekiller
it's called sleep deprivation, every parent faces it.
Gardener Earth Guy
Sleep deprivation can cause stoicism? That would mean restricting healthy hours of sleep instigates better willpower when studying for long sessions. It's just antithetical lol.
you need stoicism in your life if you want to avoid a mental breakdown in China...
getting ready for them dad jokes.
Hey, deadpanning is an art form :| hehe
I absolutely love your channel! I love comparing my western life to my stay here in China. I am definitely returning next year and I'm thinking about moving here when I'm older.
Ha! Acidic and fruity. Down with the Winston slam.

That sound effect for when Winston takes off his glasses is starting to sound like it's from a Nigerian or Indian movie

these episodes are just getting better and better
I never developed a taste for coffee, which I assume has probably saved me a bundle over the years. Guess I'd more likely be in that tea and Mahjong crowd... if I could play Mahjong
Your youtube videos are the best I've encountered! Keep up the good work, I will definately recommend your videos to others!
7:22 Stay determined SerpentZA!
I'm about to move to Nanjing and have really enjoyed the videos on ADVChina and your personal accounts. Found your videos very informative and they have helped me prepare for my move!
Good morning! My favorite ADVChina episode yet!
you guys made me get up and make myself a coffee...Cool video..looking forward to the smaller coffee shops video.
How often do you two get mistaken for a couple?
Gosh, this brings back memories! When I used to live in China, I used to STAY in those coffee shops mostly for the internet, the cookies, and to finish work.
Love the glasses, "swish" :-)
"Acidic and fruity...just like him." LMFAO. Nice one. I can't tell whether I liked the remark or the reaction + camera zoom more lol.
Even videos as simple as this, I find entertaining. It's not just bcuz I'm learning so much about a foreign land/culture, but I genuinely could listen to you guys talk about how your tooth brushing experience went this morning. You are 2 entertaining, insightful fellas. Till the next video, guys. *tips fedora*
Cool, can you take us to see a Chinese dentist please.
I already have 3 dentist videos over on my channel
Make an appointment with the Chinese dentist at _two thirty_
Damn serpentza got no chill. No cavities either
I think they already did on serpantza. Channel
Much appreciate you guys and all you share about the westerners experience in China. One can learn more about modern China watching your videos than anywhere else!
More bike riding, less malls and restaurants?
Keep up the good work. 😎
We stagger them, one week on the bikes, one week off
Good deal, thanks
It's absolutely unsafe to ride a bike there, especially talking while riding, I'm always afraid they would crash the next second.
Na
Ferrit Asia Bale!
Good to know about coffee in China! I usually go to HKG which I find it no problem. I must say that because of you guys, I'm hooked on Jüri now! I never heard of him, and yet he is so talented. Thank you!! :)
i have only had 3 cups my whole life and i'm 40 now
I just had 3 cups while reading your comment..
3 cups too many
Hi guys I am a new TH-cam user and discovered your videos. Just love them. You have given me a real insite to life in China. Thanks keep up the good work.
Chinese people don't drink coffee. Period. They perceive coffee as a westernized chic life style.
I see that C-Milk is wearing his favorite pink cargo shorts. Don't ever change guys. Good video.
Pacific coffee isn't from America! I googled it when I was living in HK when my friends were like "you're from the Pacific Northwest in the US, isn't there any Pacific coffee?" Nope it's based in HK lol
The founder of the company is American though (Thomas Neir from Seattle)
Nice! Makes me want to go more often to take a coffee outside in Shanghai or home with my vietnamese coffee. Love your videos, keep going!
I'm feeling totally deprived. NO GRATUITOUS DRONE SHOTS!!!!!!
I guess the 0:12 one at the end at the end doesn't count? Not gratuitous enough?
I like all your vids but to have an upbeat one about Chinese peeps getting something right is refreshing... like a good cup of coffee in the morning
No kidding, China has some great coffee. You can go to Mcdonalds and seriously get a decent cup meanwhile, here in the US, it's undrinkable. I have had some tremendous cups of coffee in China. Who knew...... Stay Awesome!
I really like these videos about China's growing middle class, you should do more videos with that theme, really interesting!
We like tea like "hey tea" we don't like to drink coffee
I agree.. but it's quite personal. some of my colleges and friends drinks coffee often, while I can't sleep after drinking it.
awsome video guys as always and im happy to hear you drank coffee from my parents country
Sorry but as an Italian I have to say it, espresso master race!
Actually Im surprised Winston doesnt drink tea only
jesse doof Both work..
I would say the same but I live in the US...... Have you had espresso in the US? If not I hope you never have too.
@jesse doof its pronounced like that but Supergecko8 write it correctly... its espresso not expresso...
@Supergecko8 F* coffee without milk, macchiato rules ;) segafredo especially...
Interesting factoid: I don't know how the ad system works on TH-cam, but all your videos seem to feature dating site ads. I like how you guys make the Chinese translations sound more colloquial than they actually are. They still convey the same meaning, it just gives me a bit of a chuckle.
I believe Google shows you ads based on your profile, search history and the video's content?
Noddy Twothree But it only shows me those ads on their channels, and I'm married, so I'm not looking for anyone. 😂
My TH-cam video recommendations include videos I have just watched and even my frickin' own videos, so that's that. Google doesn't want to be smart, they just want to make money.
can you guys do an episode on Chinese fast food chains?
i think winston already has
They have McDonald's,Pizza Hut, KFC,Burger King,subway and more in china but Hong Kong has more western chains but serpantza already made a video about this.
Hey been watching your videos and really enjoy the stuff you talk about. This is such a nice place. Looking forward to bring my family to visit. Thanks!
Is it just me or is LaoWhy, sorry couldn't find your real name, so salty? Seems to get triggered a lot by SerpentZA these days.
prolly cuz serpentZA drinks gas station coffee
Jacob Lydecka hard to say, they look mostly fine but sometimes seem like they're having passive aggressive arguments but hard to detect
yeah cmilk looked like he was ready to lay serpa out bro lol...
Yea he pisses me off lol
coffee in the US sucks, Dunkin Donuts, Mc Donalds....horrible
As always, you guys are awesome . Love the videos and the chat between you guys 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
what about the gratuitous drone shot? :(
I'm feel totally deprived. NO GRATUITOUS DRONE SHOTS!!!!!!
Awe man now I want a cup of coffee !!!!! Thank guys for all the great videos I always wanted to see Asia and these videos help out a lot. I just hope that shiznit with N.Korea does not kick off or there will be no chance of seeing this in the future.
"This is some dank stuff right here"
I noticed that too~ those translations had me chuckling
Another Great Episode Guys !!! Stay Awesome !!! :)
i prefer covfefe myself
It trumps the decocainated stuff. 😄
Taiwanese people drink tons of coffee and tea, no shits given about too much caffeine.
Older asians drink tea as water. Just water it down through the day.
What is the sex culture like in China? what is the young people's attitude, like pre-marital sex, experimental stuff, kinky stuff? I have a preconception that it's a very conservative society in regard of sex, from what I heard even porn is banned. I could be very wrong.
And in a follow up to that, do they view the sexual liberty of Japanese society as depraved in China?
The girls will be stoned to death by their family members if found having pre-marital sex.
I'm European/Chinese, and that is definitely not the case.
+Video Out of China u r crazy man.
It's. A good thing that it's banned it should be illegal in the states but it not.
Their videos are so addictive !!
"Do Chinese people drink coffee" man you are really scraping bottom of the barrel for ideas huh lmao
Vancouver is not in China, so a pretty big difference. Also, not every Asian is Chinese. Russians, Pakistanis, Israelis, Indians, Japanese, and many others, are also Asians, so having a Canadian Starbucks with various Asians is not even close to coffee in China.
actually church in china is pretty good topic
I thought the video was interesting.

You take drinking coffee for granted, so you don't realize the cultural moving forces that would lead you to drink coffee on a regular basis.
+azn north
Citing examples of Asian people drinking coffee in western countries is absolutely retarded and extremely different from the topic of the video. It is normal to drink coffee in western countries, but it's a rather new and foreign thing in other parts of the world.
ppaaccoojrf I don't drink coffee so stop assuming and acting like you know me.
Informative, fruity and acidic haha, great episode.
always a pleasure learning something new guys! Could you do an episode about the tea rituals in China?
You did mention the price of coffee in China? How much did you pay for those cups?
Good show guys.
A month or so ago I unsubscribed from all 3 of you guys' channels because I kind of overdosed on them. But lately I felt I missed you guys, so tonight I re-subscribed LOL!
Greetings from El Salvador, hoped you liked that coffee. My eyes opened wide af when you mentioned my country, we never have any protagonism haha. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
1:39 wow catch Cmilks look after Winston wooshed off his sunglasses, LOL.
Hey that was the Mix C mall. That Pacific Coffee was closed for awhile while they remodeled. They had a small kiosk outside for a bit selling a few things. Honestly I do love coffee but I find that in a lot of the smaller towns they don't have a lot of good coffee, and of course no Pacific Coffee in my town.
Are you the actor of NCIS Los Angeles? now im confused
At work.. that alarm at the end got me lol, it's all clear.
I've been watching Winston´s video for at least 2 years now, I'm used to see him in suit long ago, but its actually making me go a bit crazy lately when i see him wear a suit in sommer in China! especially when C-milk next to him is wearing a t-shirt
Wait, was that an Undertale sound effect at 7:20 (during the transition to the science cafe)? Awesome!
Very injoyable a nice light and breezy post brings back memories of us in Pacific Coffee all over China I think Malaysia and Singapore as well stay safe you pair and enjoy yourselves oh we thought you both lived in Shenzen
Nice Videos, I watch your videos in Portugal
I used to run a company that had many chinese clients living in the UK. Every time I visited them, they always told me they went out and bought coffee especially for me. Non of them drank it themselves. I actually started asking them for tea because I felt so bad that they kept disappearing to the shops to buy coffee for me.
Damn both of your Mandarin is so good. Too good as always.
8:24
"This is some dank stuff right here"
You guys sure you didn't accidentally just stumble into a Vancouver coffee shop?
This is some dank stuff right here
Fun as always!
OMFG Matt ordered straight black coffee with no sugar.........................
Wow, those gallon sized mugs are awesome!!!!
lol, I thought that was a green screen at first when you were both in the mall with the ice skating rink.
@ 8:24 the guy says it is some "dank" stuff, is dank a type of hip word or how is that meant?
To me dank has a negative connotation because it reminds me of musty, mold, unclean, smelly in an unflattering way.
