We are Pat & Giulia, a couple from 🇬🇧 and 🇮🇹 living in London.
We decided to go travelling and ended up living getting stuck in Malaysia during 2020 which spurred the creation of this channel, we're now back on the road after a lengthy hiatus!
We're travel enthusiasts who enjoy discovering spots off the tourist trail and don’t like taking ourselves too seriously. We're not here to be vloggers or to be famous, we're not necessarily here to "inspire" anyone to travel either - just enjoy the spontaneous fun of it, weird situations and of course making local friends.

Great, so much freedom, modernity, truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance.
💯🇨🇳
Unlike most Western tourists, I think you and your girlfriend have a gentle and modest temperament which is very much in line with the traditional Chinese aesthetic style.
really bad translation, try deepl next time if u can
Culturally speaking, the Chinese value harmony more than anything else. One needs a lot of patience to achieve that.
I noticed Chinese value balance, harmony, peace and tranquility, unlike us noisy and boisterous Africans!
We have a ton of Chinese in my country and they helped modernise our infrastructure. They have their own Chinatown where many non-Chinese love to visit for meals, shopping, etc
I don't know how long the history is, but I was a kid more than 30 years ago. It's a snack I remember. It's popular in Sichuan and Chongqing. It's hard to imagine that there are traditional tools that can be used to attract people's attention while knocking. It's also a cutting tool.
❤卖糖的。
The reason you were seeing a lot of tiny street shops, is probably because you were walking around in mostly residential streets or tourist attractions lol.
There are plenty of malls and Grocery stores like Walmart in every city, and a wet market in every communities usually, even nowadays people tend to do their grocery shopping online (it takes around 30 mins to delivery to your place.)
Oooh good to know
Nowadays, many people in China like to buy things online. You can buy things from various provinces in China ( including food). Which will be delivered to your home in a short time and the price is much cheaper than shopping malls. You can even buy fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and meat that you need every day online, and these foods will be delivered to your home quickly and at a cheap price. This has caused many shops to slowly disappear.
True! Online is a big market now!
Because people only do online shopping In China even grocery shopping. Delivery is super efficient. It can be done within 30 minutes.
America online shopping takes 2+days and food delivery takes an hr and is expensive fees.
If we had delivery speed like China, grocery stores and shops wouldnt survive either.
@@MacrosFTW 货品都是从店铺送出来的，所以没影响
When you were Chengdu, you should've visited one of the largest malls, New Century Global Center. It is the world's largest building in terms of floor area. Has a Olympic sized skating rink and water park.
He said it's good for the throat. You're so smart.
I guess sign language is just universal.
China is indeed a fun place with lots of delicious food. You're welcome to come and visit!
We love it! 🇨🇳👏🏻
When you have some time go learn some Chinese, you will find it very interesting, you don't have to learn something very complicated but just some basic Chinese then you can have basic communication with the Chinese, not that hard though.
The vendor was selling 麦芽糖（mai-ya-tang), which is a kind of candy made out of wheat.
there is a Chinese saying "少不入川", which roughly means " if a young man goes to Si chuan province, he wouldn't want to leave because of too comfortable local life there." so chengdu is surely a very livable place. chengdu is the capital of Sichuan province.😊
China's beauty, safety and deliciousness need you to experience it in person. China welcomes you.
04:00 malt sugar
Pear paste candy.
2:45 the guy was selling maltose, which is a very traditional chinese candy.
Delicious!
中国有大型卖场 跟你们一样 在大商场的-1楼 下次你注意看看 就知道了 找个旅行团 去一趟川西 那里更加美丽 气候宜人
Oh my god! That's Dan hong gao（蛋烘糕，egg baked cake）! My favourite chinese dessert! Smart choice! Being a vegetarian-traveler is definitely hard, so good luck and I wish both of you have fun!
I'm a person from Chengdu and there's a few things I can help you better understand the foods in the video. In the beginning of the video you guys tried the pancake, we locals call it Danhonggao(蛋烘糕), which means egg baked cakes and has a fluffy texture and stands as one of the must-try food in Chengdu. The tofu dessert you tried I think is not a specialty in Chengdu, it's like a variation of a dessert originating in Taiwan Province but probably this dessert store is headquartered in Chengdu. In your last video, the so-called meat dumplings are more similar to Cantonese Wonton, we locals call it Chaoshou(抄手); Cantonese Wonton has a slightly thinner skin always wrapping shrimps and pork in a non-spicy soup while Chaoshou usually only has pork inside and it can be soaked in spicy sauce or a non-spicy broth.
People in China usually purchase food materials from fresh market near the living neighbourhood, and someone will go to supermarket alternatively.
Oooh, good to know
When eating Chongqing hotpot/barbecue/stir-fried/fried food..., you should drink herbal tea. Herbal tea is like the radiator of a car.
When I have hotpot I must have a lot of cold beer, the best👍🙃
There are too many snacks in Chengdu, "Chen Mapo Tofu", "Dandan Noodles", "Zhong Shui Dumplings"... It's all a must-try👍👍👍
Most of the Chinese will do online shopping so it’s not necessary for the convenience store to be big. Convenient and fast.
That guy saying that the rock candy 好吃得很（”hao chi de heng,” meaning super delicious) is so funny and happy 😊
😂👏🏻
Thanks share China street food 👍😋🥠🥠🌮🌯🫔🧆
There are many supermarkets. When you see those big big buildings, usually shopping malls, there are always supermarkets, located at B1 or first floor.
Catch your videos late, I'm not mainlander, in Asia , except Japan and Korea ( I'm guessing, someone correct me if I'm wrong ) grocery shopping traditionaly are done open market, like farmer market in USA even for meat, in Hong Kong it could be in an apartment complex, usually dedicated first or second floor in one of the building, i think adopting to Western style grocery store mostly occurs in largest cities!
I left macau 40 years agos, never been back, so someone fill me in if my impression is wrong from doing research through TH-cam 😂, will be there when I retire in 2 years!
To your question on grocery shopping: each residential zone would usually have one or more farmers markets that sell produces at affordable prices. The more modern and built up areas would have fewer markets but more fancier supermarkets that are a bit more expensive, these are often in basements of huge malls. Both types are good places to check out if you are ever visiting again.
Interesting insight
Watching your videos, I have developed a reflex arc, which is feeling particularly hungry
😂🙏🏻
there are supermarkets but a lot of people just go to local wet markets or just small family style shops that typically just sell one type of food - fruits, vegs, meats, etc... and just pick up stuff from a few places within the area. nowadays some people just have groceries delivered.
Supermarkets have processed food and is overpriced as well all over the world. It's good to get from local markets .
There are large supermarkets too. You have to know where they are. There are also online shopping and wet markets.
Interesting to know - we’ll try a big supermarket soon?
I'm glad to see that you are more and more relaxed and enjoying the life in China.
I haven't been to supermarkets for many years. Usually, young people eat delivery or shop online. Most of the deliveries are free and only take 30 minutes.
Wow that’s good!
Chinese is the most populous language in the world, spoken by 1.4 billion people. Chinese can be seen everywhere in Southeast Asia. Chinese is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. If you want to communicate with Chinese people, just learn some simple daily conversations. The reason why Chinese people don’t know English is because China has a huge territory and a history of five thousand years. It has formed a unique cultural atmosphere. All of my western friends who made visits to China came back with extremely high praises on China.All cities are modern.clean and very safety.There are no guns, drugs, homeless people, LGBT, delinquents, thieves, or violence in China. It is a very safe country.This the true.True you can not see it in Western media when they speak about china.
Pat.. I was so looking forward to you doing a video in that gigantic build.. called Chengdu century centre.. i'm gutted.. got a hunch your next trip will be down south..
环球中心吧
What you said at the end of this video is quite right. In China, Beijing is known as the political center, Shanghai as the financial center, and shenzhen as the technology center. It is not 100% the case (many Chinese investment banks and funds are based in Beijing, and you can also find many hitech factories in Shanghai), but it is mostly true. Actually the thing is, any city apart from Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen is much more livable than these three. The pace of life is so quick. And you have to work very hard or be super rich to live in those three cities.
Since the online order is much convenient for everyone and for the daily grocery order can deliver within 2 hours or less. And what you see on the street mostly are convenience stores, and the supermarkets are most located in the neighborhoods. Plus, in chengdu you can find most of local markets, and there you can buy meats vegetables….etc but most fun is there are many of local foods available, and there are very tasty if you into SIchuan food.
It's like Martabak in Indonesia hehe
Because online shopping in China is so developed, it is cheap and fast and can be delivered to your home in just a few minutes.
❤❤❤
I think China is so good ❤

I want to go to Chengdu to see the pandas!!!! cannot wait to visit China!!!
Oooh you’ll love it!
are veggies allowed to eat cheese?
Yes! It differs between vegetarian and vegan - vegetarians (like us) eat cheese and eggs, vegans don’t
Yeah, you're so right that almost everything... Culture, Food in Asia are originated from China... the Culture hub of Asia for thousand years of history...
