lolol... After our challenge, Ivana and I remembered that she is better than me at archery! We chose the wrong person to challenge you lol. Good fun :D
A side note here Ken but your costume in Xi'an for New Year was a Eunuch not a General. Steve's was an Imperial Guard. Eunuchs where castrated men that looked after or protected the females of the Imperial court.
@@JetLagWarriorsSteve, you're amazing, as a Chinese I have to say your hand writing is so perfect! It's even much better than many Chinese! You really have talent on Chinese hand writing!!!
@@uwang982😂your chinese writing must be so terrible to come up with such a compliment. Some Chinese ppl can have bad writing, but it’s with styles. It is completely different than a 3 y/o’s writing. Its readable and actually pretty good for a foreign person, especially if it’s first time.
Steve the rabbit dish was sold out so they replace it with chicken, so I think that’s chicken stew you guys were eating. 😂😂. Anyway thanks for sharing the amazing video. Take care! Cheers from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Chinese fish is different from foreign fish. Skilled Chinese chefs will cook the most delicious fish. I have eaten three kinds of very delicious fish in China, Guilin beer fish, Guizhou rice fish, and a kind of fish from Yunnan. (Can’t remember the name), I’m still very impressed.
Honestly I remember being a kid in China thinking English was just Chinese with a weird accent. Tv programs, shows, and ads featuring “foreigners” would have some white guy speaking Chinese with a strong accent. Just my own experience but I’m thinking those kids may have thought they were more understandable to Steve by using an accent.
Oh wow, another awesome, amazing and breathtakingly beautiful video. The scenery/mountains view is super duper lovely. What a great challenge of archery with Ken Gao Fei !! Steve, your Chinese handwriting is excellent. Truly love to see your interactions with those lovely kids. And the locals are very friendly. Totally agree with you, Steve, that this is indeed a 7 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ experience in a rural Chinese mountain village. Kudos to you both !! CHINA is indeed amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
That was such a wholesome interaction with the locals. No matter how many years later, you can go back and say "HAO Che 好吃" and they will instantly remember you. The experiences are priceless, you can talk about this heartwarming connection with friends and family, and it's even better that you captured it on video to share your first-hand experiences through the eyes of your lens. Life is Good, absorb every minute of it. It was my pleasure to follow you on this journey. Thank you for posting!
Excellent first attempt of Chinese writing! 👍👍Absolutely readable and much better than many kids in Hong Kong! Enjoy your vlogs with positive vibes. Please continue to explore other cities and villages in China, and you will soon find out each one can be different from the other with different cuisines and vibe and scenes. 😊😊
Hahahahahah. Steve wrote Chinese really well！！You guys are so cute. Love to see you two and ken travel together🤣And donkey meat is delicious，maybe try it when you come to China next time😂
3:39 The grandma was saying that she is in her 80s. In China Grannies and Poppas are obsessed with telling people their age, in exchange of young kids telling them that they look healthy and strong, which I find absolutely adorable.
12:25 Donkey meat is a real delicacy! In China there is a saying, "天上龙肉，地下驴肉“，which means ”Dragon meat in Heaven, Donkey meat on Earth." Although I've never come to fully appreciate the uniqueness of donkey meat(it just tastes like every other meat), many well off middle aged Chinese(including my parents and their friends) are very keen on frequenting restaurants that offer cuisines that incorporated donkey meat. You guys missed out on a really special opportunity right there~! Just for reference "Being a dietary meat characterized by low fat and cholesterol content, donkey meat can be considered an excellent alternative to red meat" shows why donkey meat is special from modern nutritional aspect.
It's actually donkey meat! Love to see you guys enjoy the rural life. Chinese nature is bar none. I just went to Jiuzhaigou last fall and regret I didn't go earlier, I can go again and again and not be tired of it! Also Xinjiang , mother nature is so breathtaking!
If you want to see the most spectacular natural scenery, go to Guilin, Guangxi.Every province in China is different. There are so many interesting places.
Impressive writing! Watching you guys touring around in China makes me and my families here in Canada feel nostalgic, hope you enjoy your trip to the fullest!
@Jetlag Warriors &. @Ken Abroad. Always always enjoy ylboth your vloggs and especially when you travel together once a while. Just wonderful contents❤❤❤
Steve, love your pumped attitude and interactions with people. This is what travel and exploring new places is all about. You make such an awesome travel companion. Thanks for bringing us along to your fun China trip ❤👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It is so nice to see you show the real China. Most people they may just have a deep impression of those big city like Beijing or Shanghai😂 But actually the peaceful and friendly countryside is also an important part of China. If you want to explore more diverse Chinese villages, I strongly recommend Yunnan province to you. As a native form northern China, Yunnan is just like a wonderland for me. The natural scenery there is very beautiful, you can see snow mountains and highland and lakes. At the same time, it is a place where people of different nations live together, their architecture is very beautiful too. I really hope that more people can discover there😊
I had 🫏 donkey once on the Italian island Sardinia, it was so tender and flavourful. There isn't any strange taste and was like a fine piece of fielt. You guys should try it next time 😉
I’ve heard that during WWII, Italians were supplying the canned donkey meat to the German soldiers in the front lines, and the German were complaining that it tasted awful.
17:45 She replied to you in a meme🤣"好吃你就多吃点" was a popular commercial line in the old days, which means "Eat more if you like it". So when you said 好吃, she finished it with 你就多吃点 immediately😂
I adore how much positivity you encounter everywhere you go. They didn't have rabbit I think. You gotta try of the hunting meats restaurants next time you are in Romania and try rabbit and bear

Adorable kids with their laughter, aww anyways strongly suggest you buy a real-time translator thingy, I'm just telling ya, you are missing out stuff.
Steve, your handwriting in Chinese is really impressive! As a Canadian Chinese, I can read and understand your written dish name 100%. Well done!
👍
是的👍
much better than mine. lol
thats dope!
true😂
What an experience in rural China! Amazing 🙏 and Steve let me know if you want another challenge 😎

@@billhartnett6413 who told u that? anyone with their right mind doing business won't dress their customers as eunuch

肯高飞牛逼！好箭法！🎉
STEVE, you are so funny, friendly, entertaining with a heart of GOLD!!!
Thanks to you, Ivana and Ken for showing real China to the world!!!
Perfect Chinese hand writing Steve!!! Even though looks like it’s written by a three year old kid but absolutely readable! Five stars 15:03
LOL I'll take it :D
He may have been a Chinese teacher in a previous life,but certainly not a military attache.😄

The old grandma and grandpa at 3:31 were telling you how old they are with hand sign "8". They are over 80.
The kids are too adorable!
U will obsess with villages like this in china. Every province with different ethnic groups.
A nice/positive thing about Steve is he always has a friendly attitude, laughs a lot, which attract the same behaviour from the Chinese. Great!
17:49 When Steve said “delicious 好吃”，the waitress responded “then eat some more 那就多吃点”
"delicious, then have more“ is a very famous advertising slogan.🥰
Steve, you wrote the Chinese characters accurately. Good job 👍 👍 👍
I visited Xian twice but had never been to the countryside. That lake is so beautiful … Impressive! ❤
I am impressed as you do not speak mandarin but still going to villages(with ken)
Steve is very good for first time writing Hanji
Nice people experience friendly encounters. Another great video.
17:49 the restaurant lady says, "If it tastes good, please eat more"🤗
Wow, good hand writing, love the way you write "no spicy" in Chinese
Very good handwriting! Well done Steve!
1:57 Oh my the little girl is SO cute.
14:12 Steve did a marvelous job copying the text, they are absolutely legible.
Steve the rabbit dish was sold out so they replace it with chicken, so I think that’s chicken stew you guys were eating. 😂😂. Anyway thanks for sharing the amazing video. Take care! Cheers from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
The lady actually asked if you want some fish. It seems to be their specialty there.
I was like Steve, say yes, say yes!!! would not be surprised that's their daily catch from the lake nearby
@@MrMingsyin exactly
@@MrMingsyinI don't think foreigner can eat the fish as we do because the fish we ear has so many bone and they don't get use to get rid of the bones
@@shuangleng5479 True. But thing is Steve didn't understand that woman was offering them fish.

Oh wow 👍
Imagine that village in spring time, when all the nature wakes up 😍
Such sweet kids! And Steve is another (big) kid 🥰
Goodness me Steve, you have a distinct handwriting style! Artistic!
Steve's handwritings are perfectly legible🎉
Very nice and artistic Chinese writing from Steve! Bravo
你们是一对真的的玩家和非常厉害的旅行者。你们的探索方式太棒了。
爱你们。
Your writing is very good and clear
The kid was speaking “xīnnián kuàilè” with Canadian accent, at the end… 😄
Exactly 😂😂😂 it was so funny and he ddnt realise 😂

14:19 Great Job Steve!
I finally realize how this works...
Oh this is a nice purpose
WOW!!! Steve wrote Chinese very well!!!🙂
3:40 She said she’s more than 80 years old now
Steve, you can clearly write the Chinese menu, you are really great, you are like a foreigner who has been in China for many years.
Steve, when you said "HAO Che 好吃" to the waitress in video, Her response actually meant: “Enjoy more多吃一点! ”
Chinese always ask guest to eat more, eat more.
@user-vi9bq8ws8u Haha that's true! 😊
Waitress：Bon appetite，and Steve's handwriting are like those written in third grade kids
The correct pronunciation should be Hǎo chī.
Beautiful village
What a beautiful sight to behold...
Well done with the Chinese words Steve! I am impressed 😄👍👍I am a Singaporean Chinese, I could read what you wrote. 👏👏👏🙂
Excellent hand writing, I am greatly impressed. 5 stars for a first timer.
You are already very skilled at eating with chopsticks!
that kid at the end mimicking your chinese "accent" is friggin hilarious LOL
Yes. It's difficult to master the tonality of the Chinese language.
史蒂文你这个幽默的性格，完全是中国老丈人喜欢的类型😂😂和孩子们蹦蹦跳跳那场景太可爱了
12:07 It is donkey meat😂...Steve, your Chinese handwriting is the best I've ever seen!! Good job, good job!!👍👍
It's actually donkey meat! Love to see you guys enjoy the rural life. Chinese nature is bar none. I just went to Jiuzhaigou last fall and regret I didn't go earlier, I can go again and again and not be tired of it! Also Xinjiang , mother nature is so breathtaking!
Steve, your Chinese handwriting is better than my 7-yr-old son!
你猜steve为啥点赞了别人没点你jajaja
@YanwenTan Teach him the basic strokes, stroke order and proportion with proper Chinese writing sheets. He'll get better.
@@phonphon102 哈哈哈😂
笑拥了
Very happy to watched your videos , and your Chinese handwriting was not bad 😊 Thank you 🙏
I can feel the warm atmosphere through the screen. I wish I could do it with a friend or two as well.
If you want to see the most spectacular natural scenery, go to Guilin, Guangxi.Every province in China is different. There are so many interesting places.
I agree. The mountain and lakes in Guilin are amazing. Zhangjiajia in Hunan province is amazing too. It was where Avatar was film.
you guys should come in summer or late spring when everything is green, interaction with the kids are soo wholesome
Wow, your hand writing is very good 👍
Great scenery, great interacting with locals great video!😅
The curious kids in this video are just too much. So cute. Again what a good time! Loving following your travels.

Great video guys !. Steve should get a brush and ink ... Might one day be up on the wall, as in that restaurant : )
Steve, bro, you rock! Chinese characters you wrote are rather good. The principal of writing Chinese is to have all strokes in a square 😊. Good job!
what a scenic view at the lake.
good job Steve , the written was beautiful !
Steve!!! Your hand writing is awesome. I can read it no problem. Check your family tree. You might be surprised😂
