This video makes me so depressed. Not because of the video but because I live in China and I eat at TON of McDonalds. I need to go across the street more...

PS: I would LOVE to see some more authentic Chinese food in America. Especially roubao.

She talks too much.

Apparently you don't understand the meaning of the comment, "bro". I live in New Orleans, I have never had or seen sweet and sour alligator/crawfish. In other words, as a native who has never seen or heard of this I find it hard to believe it exists. I was trying to make the comment a joke but you made sure I couldn't do that. Thanks, "bro".

I couldn't stand listening to this lecture; I stopped it after a minute. She talks way too fast and has such an annoying voice. Speech classes, man.

[Kiki Nakamura]

Excellent presentation and so glad someone finally revealed this.

And if someone complains about her talking too fast, perhaps it's because their brain operates at snail speed an are likely compulsive complainers because of this brain defect. A pity actually.....
