Sakuraco offers nice things but even with a yearly subscription shipping is still 30% of my cost and that's not acceptable to me. I want products and not subsidise post companies. Same thing when donating money, I don't want to give 30 out of 100 bucks to Google instead of e.g. sharla.

Fun fact: I'm a Scottish barista and after hearing you talk about London Fogs, I learned how to make them and we now have them on the menu at my work! Only two people order them, because no one else knows what it is, but they're so good!

Being a long time fan of Sharla & Chris separately, it's so lovely seeing them in each others videos so consistently recently. It's like seeing two long time friends enjoying life together and it's just wonderful. Thank you for being so candid and sharing your adventure Sharla!

Loving Sharla's exasperated: oh lord, what has he found NOW?!! Every time Chris holds something xD

[@Loawercs31]

As an English guy married to a Quebecois living in Canada I can recommend the following foods and experiences: Tim horton, Krispy Kreme donuts, Poutine, gourmet burgers, steak house, beaver tails, 2 bite brownies, drive 50KM+ into the country side/forest to see all the beauty, experience just how dark it is a night which is something you can't really appreciate in the UK, Canadian breakfast, Canadian pancakes with proper maple syrup, a NHL game, lobster, fondue. There may be many more but that is just what I can think of at the moment. Enjoy your stay in Canada.

[@cocomilk4846]

Oh we have Krispy kreme and Tim Hortons.

[@asukaseto]

Lol I love how Chris is like a kid at the supermarket - wanting everything he sees, and Sharla's just like "Put it back"😂

[@frostyblade8842]

I can't wait for Chris's new series, Journey across Canadian grocery shops. Chris and Sharla have such a lovely bond, it's so cute to see them together and close they are. Plus Sharlas new haircut is lovely

[@Vashed555]

Sharla and Chris are now addicted to using the Japanese style of randomly grunting as someone talks to show their understanding. 😂

[@SolRUs1]

My close friend is a Navajo and they do that too.

[@galaxiaad]

I think he says "Ii desu ne" under his breath while unwrapping his present too 🙂

[@callmewaves1160]

I do this with my family and they just think I am just saying something without actually listening lol

[@nicedragon815]

Hi from Sweden! What is the weirdest or most unusual thing you have seen in a Swedish food store?

[@CodenameTurtle]

It's definitely fun in general to explore and go shopping together. Yo my husband brought me to an American Ikea before I moved here and it was so fun to see the differences, it's still my go-to for Swedish foods to this day.

[@mollyapteros]

@@nicedragon815 Ooh definitely the fish products in squeeze tubes! I think they are meant as spreads for crackers/toast? I haven't been back in several years so my memory is fuzzy. We were mostly in the Stockholm area and briefly went to visit family in the country near Lidköping.

[@mollyapteros]

​@@CodenameTurtle we live an hour away from our nearest ikea unfortunately so my husband is deprived lol. It's such a fun store.

It is so much fun to share holiday traditions with folks from other countries and cultures. I hope you guys get to blend your traditions for many years to come. A couple of years ago I got two gingerbread house kits for my sons and me to put together after dinner and at some point I thought it would be funny to make a two story strip club. My sons (they are both grown) we’re a little apprehensive at first but it didn’t take them long to get into it. That is one of my favorite holiday activities we’ve done in a long time. I still get tickled when I think about it.

[@ok4now749]

I’m probably just bitter.... But Sharla & Chris are my favorite online couple. They seem to be very natural and relaxed. You can feel the friendship their relationship is built on. Sometimes it seems like online couples have the need to show off their love/ prove that they are a couple every chance they get. I just like that Sharla and Chris are not so in-your-face with their relationship.

[@DadCanInJapan]

It was nice to see shots of Canada. I haven't been back since 2016. I only spent a week that time and it was too see my father in the hospital. One place I miss in Toronto is the Hungarian Goulash Party Tavern (Yes, that was the name of the restaurant). Back in the 80s, you could get absolutely stuffed for only $5.

[@kaygriffin4835]

This video is so nostalgic for me as it’s been ages since I’ve been back in Canada. Assuming you went to swans it’s nothing like British pubs to my experience… living in the uk now, but the food and beer are decent. Food items my husband liked when I took him to Victoria were crispers -- ketchup chips/ crisps -- triscuts - coffee crisp candy bars. In terms of snacks.

[@Scottgunner89]

Watching Chris slowly becoming the guy that wouldn't stab your ball before throwing it back over the fence.

Welcome back home! Hope you made it for the Truck Light Parade in Victoria!!! If not, you can't miss Tuba Christmas on Saturday the 10th, downtown at Market Square. It's like 100 tubas playing Christmas music. Pretty sure it starts at 1:00.

[@chefevilee9377]

I just love that buying fabric and wrapping presents idea! At the rate the economy is going let me tell you this is a great idea! You can get discount fabric everywhere after the holidays. Plus you have more money then because you’re not buying Christmas presents.

[@deadfr0g]

*Smoked salmon!* 🇨🇦 Ideally on a good bagel with cream cheese and all the happy little garnishes. Obviously you can go out for it, but it’s kinda fun to assemble at home with the family. Makes for a fancy easy cold brunch during the holidays. If you guys are where I think you are, there is a shockingly good Montreal-style bagel shop in your area; the name is a dead giveaway, should come up really fast in local search results. They make their own cream cheese in-house. That’s the best of west coast and east coast in one meal. (Recommended toppings: capers, red onion, dill, black pepper, whatever you like. Some people like chives, avocado, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, lemon zest, but I think sometimes those can obscure the flavour of the smoked salmon. Nice to have some cucumber slices or mini tomatoes on the side.) Not very on-theme here but I am spiritually obligated to mention it: their cinnamon bagels with the honey vanilla cream cheese are criminally good. IT SHOULD BE A CRIME.

[@summercarter2668]

I think unless oysters are commercially-farmed there's a chance of finding a pearl in them. There's not so much sandy sediment in oyster farm tanks. If the oysters are wild-foraged there will be more chance of them getting sand grains in their shells, which is the starting point of a pearl. I always hope to find a pearl when I buy oysters, but I doubt it will ever happen (unless I can befriend a wild oyster forager, of course).
