@@ssrae-2229 No - most girls are not like these girls, not even close - they are extremely extroverted and goofy, more so than the average chinese girl - and the joke quite a lot about things that many girls will be shy to joke about. So these are definitely more outgoing than most. Its kinda weird also, how you say like "Most if not all girls" - def not true, there are many girls in China with vastly different personalities

I'm from Ireland and I'm dying to eat all the amazing food you've tried! You're videos are awesome Amy and you deserve so many more subscribers!!!

[@raygan777able]

Dun die, dude. Just take a flight to China.

[@stingraytingvideo]

If you're in Dublin, there are several Chinese hotpot places in town on Parnell Street. Some of them do a large hotpot pot that you share with your table and others give you your own individual hotpot pot. I recommend trying one and taking note of what sauces and ingredients you like, so you can buy them in the Asian supermarkets nearby afterwards to make at home. The Asian supermarkets have premade hotpot soup bases in different flavours in packets and you can get Asian style meatballs (usually fish or beef), tofu puffs, mushrooms Asian greens,.and of course all the sauces. Since we're in Ireland, things like prawns, mussels and clams (frozen or chilled from Lidl etc) are great in hotpots and you can just buy fillets of beef, lamb or pork from the butcher and partially freeze it so it's easier to slice very thinly and they'll cook in the hotpot within a minute or so. Anything goes with hotpots! I also recommend getting the portable induction hob from IKEA to use for your hotpot, better and safer than the portable gas stoves.

[@charleydevlin833]

@@stingraytingvideo Yes! I've been meaning to get down there to try some! I can't wait!

[@charleydevlin833]

@@stingraytingvideo I definitely will try a hotpot at home, I've had it once and loved it😊

[@stingraytingvideo]

@@charleydevlin833 good to hear! Our family usually do two different soup bases (yin yang style) when we do it at home - one very spicy and numbing, and the other a light one using just coconut water that you can get litre cartons from Lidl or Aldi seasoned with some salt and pepper and handful of sliced cherry tomatoes and spring onions. The latter is nice one to drink as a soup at the end when you're done as long as you didn't make it too salty or peppery. Enjoy!

[@sportsonwheelss]

@@tigerroar649 not possible as a vassal nation. Australia does not have a foreign policy when it comes to China. Otherwise, they would have not ruined their trade surplus with China. They do not care for their people's livelihood. Australia is one of few nations that did not have to go through the 2008 debacles for riding the Chinese economic wave. Too bad the people have no say in their political matters. Listen to the Aussie media and you can see they are rowdy up the population to have China.

Gagadei Amy and two nice friends!😆 I appreciate so much your experience in this Northern China region; it's cold but I get the feeling that people are friendlier and fun to spend spare time with. Food is also very interesting and looks delicious, that hotpot is more like a treasure pot, great idea of everyone dipping their food in the same broth for the hole day, at the end of the day, as you mentioned, it will be the most delish. Thanks again and be safe and warm. Happy new 2023!

[@EuroTravChannel]

I am so happy that this episode is in China's North. So many bloggers stay in the South. It's happiness and warmness to see you three are having a good time. The food is an unique skewer hotpot. The soup base is umami. The meat and vegetables are fresh. There is a dipping sauce buffet. The result is a healthy, delicious and hot meal. The price is quite reasonable. 25 Chinese Yuan is like 5 USD.

the difference between hotpot and Malatang is such that you share a common broth base with other customers so you don't have to pay for your private soup base. Basically the more economic and fun version of Hot pot

this is still kind of expensive... I have been to this kind of hotpot restaurant and it is 3 usd per person hotpot buffet in Changchun, you got it, 3 usd and eat as much as you can... incredible

[@weifan9533]

The wages in China are generally lower than the US, so that kind of balances things out. In a second or third tier city like Changchun, the average salary is around 3000 to 4000 RMB a month, which is around 400 to 600 USD.
