Been there! ;D Some scorpions are actually still alive on a stick and moving their legs around. If I were ever to eat anything from there, I'd take those coccoons. Perhaps a seastar, but really nothing with little legs and such.
eee those foods look so scary, but I mean it would be awesome to be able to eat them without feeling queasy haha. seems that chinese people are a lot more resourceful, and would probably have a greater chance of survival than many north americans. I'm pretty envious.
hey eemma, nice vids! I was there when I had a FEVER! It was windy at the time...not good. Thank God for tylenol, came home with 1 tablet left - I keep it for g'luck now. hehe.
Eemma, what was the flavor of the city like? The smells, the attitude of the people to you as a visitor with a camera? Did they ignore the camera, pretty much? How much tape did you shoot overall in China?
Those scorpions and locusts looked like they had been left out too long. If scorpions go bad, they will start to tast like beatles. And if beatles go bad, they will marry Yoko Ono.
Thanks for accepting my video as a video response. When i saw yours i thought we had had a similar idea. So people can check out a market in china and then go see one in Mauritius when they click on mine.
All i got to say is EColi must be a requirement for some of the food vendors...and did they have a sale on red hardhats and white meat jackets in china? EVery Vendor had one whether they needed them or not.Cool Video and i bet some of the food was fantastic.
Excuse MOI men såg jag möss? Spindlar? Skorpioner?? Fy fan!!! Ja, jag såg massa annat med. Blä o Growse eller hur det nu stavas!! Haha. Vad var det du åt?? Förresten jag har nog frågat innan men har totalt glömt. Vad gjorde du där egentligen?
Ok, if you ever call me a Wangfujing one more time, I will never speak to you ever again! But that market looked great! I would eat everything there. Ok, almost everything. Some stuff looked... well, you know, you were there! ;p
Wangfujing street in Beijing is one of the Chinese capital's most famous shopping streets. In the Qing Dynasty, eight aristocratic estates and princess residence were built here, soon after when a well full of sweet water was discovered, thereby giving the street its name "Wang Fu" (=aristocratic residence), "Jing" (=well)
My chinese is very rusty since I never had a lesson in my life but I believe it is the Chinese capital's most famous shopping streets. It's one of your tag! LOL
Sheesh. Scorpions on a stick. How do you even satirize that? Tough to go one better on that one. Any chance that was just a display for the tourists? Kind of like a haunted house type thing?
haha, one of the stall owner complained that"yall dont eat anything!" LOL!! oh ya. and not all chinese eat those stuff. i don eat them for sure! haha. i think its a street kinda delicacy or what. haha
I think of all the China videos so far, this or the neon lights one is definitely my favourite. In this vid, I found it cool that you showed your family laughing and having fun. Makes me jealous that I cant go to a different country and do that with my family...Anyway great vid...keep it up!
Eemma has a pet frog?? I hope whatever you ate was cooked well. Shoulda gone all out and tried the scorpions. Who knows when you'll get another opportunity like that.
hey, i heard some guy speaking Greek in the background. perimene...meaning wait. Greek tourists in china? That makes no sense. Anyway Emma....you told us to tell you when you've made enough china videos....they're still good, don't take this the wrong way...but i think you should make 1 more china video and then move on.
OK, I watched this vid like 15 times now because everytime I discover something new, mainly INSECTS! And even worse, I can smell it all to now! You should rename this vid to "Eemma's horror insect adventure".
Damn.. a lot a talking going on there! Guess they have to do that (to talk you into eating that ish...) prrrr... What have you been eating there? geez - does anyone really eat scorpions? I won't sleep well tonight! ;-)
I need to move there. I would lose weight instantly. And in the end, it looks like you're eating lamb fries. I suppose a choice between scorpion and lamb fries, I'd choose lamb fries.
Haha, looked liked the food-court in the mall or something, though this place was outside and they're like 20+ stands. Do you know what you where eating?!
Eeeeew! This video is gona help me losing weight, I just closed my bag with Doritos, lol. WTF at all those insect type thingies? What did you eat? At least that looked tasty ;P
i agree with Leonfit. You need to go to Taiwan women.
