Hey great to see you back. Yes the year is moving fast. Liked the Tasmania video. Not at all what I expected of the place. It would be fun to see it. Food looked delicious. Thanks again for the video. More soon please.

[@JaniceFung]

way too fast. more videos coming!! 🎥

[@michaelj2528]

I was only thinking yesterday I not seen you in a while great to see you back . Looks like a beautiful place to visit probably to far from the UK for me and my age , so it's interesting to see these videos of places I will never see . Hope all is well with you and your family

[@JaniceFung]

appreciate it Michael - thanks for watching!

[@jamieli1174]

Hi Janice, nice video and memories w ur family❤Excited for your life update video. Hope that u bring back Sydney vlogs, especially in eastwood. Miss those.

[@JaniceFung]

for sure - long overdue for a Sydney vlog actually!

[@SiuKar628]

Thanks for the vlog Janice, it’s always fine to see you spending time with your family, especially the jokes around, a nice one!

[@JaniceFung]

haha appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@AlusW.]

So glad you finally posted again. Tassie with your fam was awesome. I wish I was part of your fam and ate well with you! Would have loved having a dozen oysters with you! Yum. I was drooling watching What great meals you shared together. Wonderful family time on all those walks. Tassie is gorgeous. Thanks, Janice for sharing your great vlogs with us. 🤗❤️😘

[@JaniceFung]

thanks for watching! the oysters there were probs one of the best oysters ive had - and also more affordable too esp when compared to Sydney!

[@IamNoaf]

Hi Janice. Thank you for your videos.The first time I saw your video about Sydney food travles I know that you are a great story teller. And the fact that you always travel with your family truly inspires me. Such a nice lady you are to ensure that your truly family matters. Keep up and enjoy your next travels!

[@graceishikawa8736]

Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing.

[@JaniceFung]

thanks Grace :)

[@Judyyesulcho]

You're glowing Janice!! Also I agree, this year is going by too quick!!

[@JaniceFung]

wayyyy to quick... almost April.. how?!?!

[@irena-talita]

Hey Janice really great video you have been missed ..I love the hiking and all the DELICIOUS food you and the fams ate ..I can’t for the next video ..x🥰🫶❤️💗

[@JaniceFung]

thank you Irena! 💛

[@nightowldickson]

Some of the best oysters from Tasmania come from St Helens. Lease 65 is definitely top 3, Melshell near Wineglass Bay and Get Shucked are the other two.

[@boningwang]

"It sounds like something you would have on your face." 🤣

[@JaniceFung]

It was the only thing I could think of at the time 😅

[@GTasOz]

Haha. A little insight into the naming of Wineglass Bay. Back in the day it was more the stained water as they brought whales ashore to cut them up (whale oil was the thing for lamps all over the world) and the blood flowed into the bay making it look like a 'wineglass'. Gross I know but history is not all fancy and free. Love your blog style Janice plus of course the endless seeking out of food.

[@JaniceFung]

I had no idea ! thanks for sharing

[@nicolasrobitaille3259]

Tasmania looks great, I will definitely put it on my list for a future trip to Australia. Hey, I am going to Hong Kong in a couple of weeks. Only for a few days but I a so excited. I am revising your Honk Kong series and taking notes!

[@JaniceFung]

oh how exciting! I am actually thinking of creating a guide for Hong Kong (like a written PDF guide) - from your perspective, what do you think would be useful to include in there / any particular questions you have about travelling there?

[@nicolasrobitaille3259]

That would be really cool! So far, the questions that I have are regarding everyday things like what is the preferred payment method to go around and at the restaurants? Can I use western credit cards easily? Cash? or should I get a local payment tool. I saw that some were suggesting to get an Octopus card. With my poor sense of orientation, I am sure I will get lost (as usual). Is there places I should avoid or be more careful? Are there any common scams that the tourists should pay attention to? I noticed that in some restaurants, they are washing the cups with the tea before serving it. I don't know this practice. Is there a specific way to do it? The vloggers that I saw eating in HK are often eating dumplings, won-tons or other food containing prawns. Is there other meat or veggie options? Despite me loving prawns, I unfortunately became allergic so I need to avoid them but I want to eat dumplings! Is it reasonably easy to communicate in English when you go out of the touristy spots? Especially in restaurants. I usually use Google translate to compensate the 4-5 words that I know but it's not always working well. BTW, is Google working at all in HK? That's so far my concerns. If I think about other questions I will get back to you! Thank you so much! @@JaniceFung

[@mookatgirl7680]

It’s great to see you back!!! Eddy and I have missed watching your vlogs and worried you’d left KZbin 🙁 looking forward to your life update vlog soon ☺️

[@JaniceFung]

helllllo! 👋🏻 i love making long form vlogs too much to ever leave KZbin.. thank youuuu to you & Eddy for always tuning in!

[@mookatgirl7680]

Phew!!! We’ve enjoyed watching your short videos, and your ABC videos (sooooo cool!!!) on Instagram 😊

[@JaniceFung]

helllllo! it's now officially autumn here in sydney, what the 🍂hope you're all doing well!!! those who have been to tassie before - what else would you recommend that I do? because i am 100% going back again next time flights go on sale lol - those oysters from Bruny Island live rent free in my mind

[@gopheritnow]

If you have more time to spend, go to Sheffield and have a look at the murals. If you go in winter, then pumpkin soup / hot chocolate in front of an open fire - if you want that European winter vibe.

[@JaniceFung]

oh hot choc / pumpkin soup on a cold night sounds lovely 🎃🔥

[@carokat1111]

Have you been to Queenstown/ Strahan on the west coast or Stanley in the far north-west? Stanley is beautiful and quaint. There is beautiful coastline along the route there coming from Burnie. You need to give yourself time if you go to these places because the drive can be windy and slow and in winter on the west coast can be sleet or even snow. If you go to Strahan, you need to do the Gordon River cruise and see Sarah Island where the convicts were sent. Another overlooked place is the far south. I think you've been to the Huon, but there's also Dover and the beautiful Cockle Creek way down south. If you go to Cockle Creek, stop at the Hastings Cave thermal springs and caves. Past Dover, eating options are very few, so that's the place to stock up at the supermarket. The Hastings Cave parks office has a small cafe where you can grab a coffee and something light to eat. Maria Island on the east coast is a bit tricky to get to but very worth it - convict ruins, beautiful landscape and beaches, introduced Tasmanian devil population and loads of wombats. Again this is somewhere where you would want to bring your own food. Also sounds like you need to go back to Bruny!

[@SuAnneFoo]

Hi Janice, thanks for FINALLY uploading the final part of your Tazzie vlog😂Jokes aside - my family is the same as yours too! We need our chinese food fix on our holidays 👍😁 Cheers!

[@JaniceFung]

Hahah it’s been a while hey 😅 thanks for tuning in! Yes- I start to miss rice if I stop having it for more than a couple days.. 🍚

[@SuAnneFoo]

@@JaniceFung hehehe I know right? Life isn’t complete without rice 🍚 😂 have a good week!

[@lucy.loves.travel]

Love the sibling banter 🤪

[@JaniceFung]

I secretly enjoy them too

[@robertjayruan9490]

Love the video!! Make me want to Tassie!! One question oysters did u like the most? Get a clear picture on ones to look for??

[@JaniceFung]

My favourite was, hands down, the oysters from Bruny island (at ‘get shucked’ )probably one of the best oysters I’ve ever had

[@carokat1111]

All Tasmanian oysters are good. You won't be disappointed.

[@martinnelson3565]

Heading to Tassie early next month for the first time

[@JaniceFung]

how exciting - have the best time!

[@peterc5318]

Hi Janice Great video Cradle mountain & Wineglass bay great spots to visit I need to go back been 20 years since I was there Food options much better now That house you rented looks amazing 😄👍

[@JaniceFung]

the house in Launceston was really nice! wish we had allocated more time to cradle mountain etc. wouldve been really nice to do the full trail

[@carokat1111]

@@JaniceFung I live in Hobart. I think Cradle needs at least two nights. My favourite place in Tassie.

[@crumbtember]

janice, u gotta try pupusas at some point! they r so guuud.

[@JaniceFung]

just looked it up! looks awesome - any place you'd recommend here in Sydney?

[@crumbtember]

@@JaniceFung haha I don't live in Australia 🦘, hope to visit someday though! I did Google to make sure you could find some however, looks like there are a few options! I highly recommend making sure tho place u go has curtido, it's fermented seasoned cabbage slaw that is usually served with pupusa along with salsa, highly likely they all would have that though:) also, any variety will be delicious, but the meat bean and cheese ones are incredible. Good luck ❣️

[@yamKenny]

love your content looking forward to seeing it more

[@JaniceFung]

Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

[@pennysue8926]

Thank you Janice for coming back to visit with us... please don't forget your loyal KZbin subbies.... we love you... miss you when you are away for so long. Love this vlog. Only a brother could get away with (or maybe he didn't... I would have made sure he didn't were he were my brother) with calling you stupid. Shame on him. And shame on the rest of the family members that laughed so robustly at what he said. I'm sorry Janice... that's just disrespectful and downright rude. Sibling or no... at least while you are filming... he could have refrained? Just when we thought he was growing up... geesh.

[@JaniceFung]

thanks for watching Penny! we grew up dishing it out to each other, it's all love ☺️

Good video

[@JaniceFung]

Cheers Joseph!

[@lagerhound]

Very interesting video, beautiful place. Just off topic, you said it's frightening how fast time passes. Wait until you get older, it goes even faster 😞. Important thing is to make time count. I must be about twice as old as you. But I just can't get my head around this aging thing. I don't feel older, yet I am 😞.

[@JaniceFung]

I do find that also! As a kid, a year seemed to take forever to pass and now, literally just the blink of an eye

[@flick4117]

Not me thinking she was talking into a razor at the start

[@JaniceFung]

Hahahaha 😂

[@carokat1111]

The parking at Wineglass Bay is not $45 per car. That's the entry fee to the National Park. It is a lot but this poor park is over-visited and under stress.

[@Disillusioned2022]

How do you keep getting more and more beautiful Janice? What's your secret?!

[@WiseGuy02]

$45 for parking! Who do they think they are? Sydney?

[@JaniceFung]

😂😂

[@carokat1111]

It's not the parking cost. It's the entry fee to the National Park for a car load of people. As a Tasmanian, I buy the two year National Parks pass and it covers both my vehicles. Much better value. I don't pay nearly this much.

[@daveb5374]

I really dont understand the oyster thing , tastes like seawater and jelly(I'm being as polite as I can). What am I missing - someone explain

I assume it's either for health benefits or ppl add flavour to it. I have only tried them once

[@JaniceFung]

Hahah I actually felt the same way as you do until maybe my early 20s. not sure what happened but all of a sudden oysters stopped tasting like I was drowning in the ocean, but more like…this savoury, slightly umami bursts of freshness lol

@@JaniceFung I've tried Thai mussel salad. I need the added flavoring 😁

[@daveb5374]

Must be an acquired taste, I heard its an aphrodisiac so there u go....

@@daveb5374 You could still put that under health benefit 🤭
