A trip to 7/11 in CHINA!

7/11 in every country is a little different, and China definitely has some interesting items... I wanted to share some of the wackier ones with you! Some were good. Some were not so good. But all were very different to what I can find in 7/11 back home in Australia!!! So all in all, a very cultural experience :P

Okay I feel like I need to defend the 'fake meat sausages' here. It's made with real meat, probably thinly minced and mixed with additives and potentially starch. Kinda like the spam in western countries. Very good vids! Keep up the good work Amy.

About the mask, I think the white sheet is what you should put on the face. The blue piece is the lining.

[@jasonli3599]

janeinflushing hhh yeah maybe

[@stellali5885]

That mask is probably one with cover sheets on both sides. She should probably take off the blue cover as well.

Love your video so much. Obviously, you know so much about Chinese culture, and you can show it to the world base on your experience of living in China. And you are so funny, really enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you

[@yuanluo6619]

around 0:45, that's not sea food. It's the tongue of a duck.

[@manathac5396]

I like how you film Northern China’s tourist attractions and food people there will likely eat, cuz I live in HK and I have never been to the North since I was born so it is quite interesting to watch your KZbin channels to learn about the other part of China’s culture that I’ve never known.

[@TommyDJr45]

The review as you go method is genius idk why everyone isn't doing that. Great inspo!

Good on you for enthusiastically trying those assortment of wonderful products. My favourite was the free saucy innuendos! :D

The "seafood" next to the duck wings are duck tongues 🤣

[@ianmontgomery7213]

getting the right types of breads caused me all sorts of problem when I worked in China. I had to get white bread from a French supermarket to use in working out the setting for a conveyor toaster. We had a marvelous day making toast and eating it with Vegemite! Also when I got a bagel toaster I couldn't find any anywhere but fortunately the chef at the Four Seasons hotel knew how to make them. I eventually made my own bread but wasn't about to tackle a bagel!

[@epicenter6213]

So many things to choose from, wish sydney 7 eleven has this many stuff. Especially baozi yum..

[@happylobsterpatatas]

Huge respect for trying all these meals ! ^^

[@manukalias]

when I visited last year, 1st day I survived on my Indian snacks I carried along, 2nd day onwards I started exploring the veg food and stores like 7Eleven were life saver where you could find 🍞 slices, chowmin and Lays to survive on. Tofu and other fried veggies were great at most outlets. But China is certainly worth visiting atleast for a month ever year 🤭🤭

Hi! I'm a Texan new to living in China as a teacher and just wanted to say thank you for your videos, they are so fun and helpful for learning about the culture here and give me ideas about places to travel and things I want to try! Some of these snacks I've tried, but a lot I haven't, so thanks again for the reviews/suggestions. I'll definitely have to grab that jasmine tea next time I'm in a store. My current favorite is the bottled jasmine and grapefruit tea, but an unsweetened option would be really nice!

[@bohemiansparrow]

@Ben Louis I've tried stinky tofu and scorpion. The stinky tofu smelled gross when they were cooking it, but then tasted fine. The grilled scorpion reminded me of shellfish and was actually pretty tasty.

[@winniequ7215]

Hi I am a northern Chinese currently living in Hong Kong. Your channel was recommended by Chinese social media and I immediately check it on KZbin. The video about HK, Beijing breakfast and this video are awesome ！Can‘t wait to see more❤️ I miss northern China too.

[@Keesmom2]

Just found your channel and subbed! I am a First Generation Chinese in the US (parents are from a village in Guangdong) and had to say I love your honesty and personality. And please don’t feel that you are being offensive just because something is not your cup of tea, you are just being honest. My husband is Caucasian and the first time I gave him a Moy (salted plum), he about gagged, said that it tasted horrible and I had to stifle a giggle. NOW, he likes them, especially when I give it to him when he has a sore throat. Keep up the great work and content!

[@kims.7094]

6:40 Yes we do hahshsh bc it's kind of a traditional to eat bread everyday for breakfast and dinner sometimes.. it is mostly a good quality often way more brown and with more nutrients. It's truly smth I miss when I'm not in Germany ㅜ.ㅜ

[@daisicong]

I admire your adventurous attitudes towards new things. I should have really get it out there to explore

[@bigorange6328]

OMG you are so true about the bread and German expats. When my boyfriend lived in the us. He would travel 1 hour to go to downtown just to get his german style good bread...

this video looks so fun and makes me hungry while watching it. Snacks here in Netherlands are so lame. looking forward to more videos👍👍👍

[@simranchawla6]

I can't stop thinking how fun it would be to hang out with you in China xD ❤️

[@qizhang5129]

bread in china is more like snacks not main course. so most of bread are processed and flavored, people only eat bread on emergency like on train or having no time to cook.

[@BlondieinChina]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

This made me LOL! You're such a good sport. Loved this view of 7-Eleven -- thanks for sharing this! :D

[@stevenkyle9426]

NIce Video and well done! I saw other youtubers trying Chinese snacks but you show more respect and are more open-minded. I love your attitude. By the way 7-11 is not really cheap. You can actually buy the same product in a bigger supermarket and save about 10%-15% and it is a Japanese biz that is why you can find so many Japanese candies there.

[@puggus6547]

this September i will be back to China for three weeks and congratulations to "Time being touched", you are in my list...

[@ChineseLanternFestival]

When I visited Tokyo Japan for the first time, I was blown away when I walked into 7/11. Then I noticed there was a a 7/11 on EVERY corner in Japan. I was like WTF??? Then I researched and finally realized, it was acquired by the Japanese many years ago. Had no idea it was a Japanese biz. Interesting stuff.

[@violetviolet888]

They also sell more "real food" in Japanese and Chinese stores. Easy and convenient for people of every income to have access to decent food. Unlike "food deserts"of the US.

[@julioduan7130]

Italuver1 that is funny. When Chinese go abroad for the first time, they will no accept the flavor and texture of western bread.

[@fengshi4284]

Chinese usually eat bread as a snack. Fluffy and sweet bread serve well as a snack. Solid and tasteless bread would seem plain as white rice.

In China people usually have bread as snack but not staple, so that's why the bread in China is sweet and fluffy。

@3:25 Ito en and tea's tea brand have those. It's becoming readily more available in Western market. I agree I love cold tea drinks without sugar. Idk why they have to make the drinks in the west so sugary that it just ruins the taste. Also it's so sweet that it becomes so sour.

I think those snacks are meant to be eaten with baijiu. Those fish sausages are pretty terrible raw too in my opinion, but if you fry em up, or just put in the ramen to soak and kinda rehydrate, pretty good.

[@fernandomendezceballos3168]

Hi, thanks for your supermarket review. Do you know if they have oatmeal porridge like the one of quaker or if they have powder desserts like jellies or puddings? I have just seen them in Gourmet supermarkets in China but I dont know if in convenience stores do they sell these kind of products , kind regard from germany

[@skynight6919]

My way of opening package of sausage is to use plastic fork given inside the package of instant noodle to cut...
