Liz, that just doesn't look right. How can the human being supposed to drink so much? Hey Lao winners, it's Lao 86 here with another video and I am back in China It's not a very beautiful day, that's for sure, it's actually really disgusting. It's been super polluted. A lot of people have been talking about the pollution being in Beijing but actually even down here where we are, it's usually really, really clear, but it's not today. That's for sure. Anyway, now that I'm back in China, Vivie and I, my Chinese wife, have been talking a lot about the things she found really really shocking or crazy about being in America. Just like, that's ridiculous, it's too, too, too cold Now, of course, me and Winston and Prozzy, we always talk about the things that are different uh, about China, when comparing to countries in the west but I figure this is a good opportunity to have a kind of Chinese woman's perspective on things that we kind of overlook when we go back home so I had Vivie talk about the five craziest, most shocking things that she noticed when she was in America and had her compare them to things in China. So the first thing that actually shocked me in America is actually this portion about the food the size of the popcorn, the soda, and all those kind of dessert, the portion of them actually scares me. Are you going to finish all that? I can't. I don't know. > Why'd you order it? Hey Vivie, got something for you. >Good? Imagine a human can actually put so much of this stuff inside of your stomach. I have no idea. People can actually eat more than two burgers and have a huge jug of soda and also have dessert. Here's one. Wait, why is it so big? >It's not big. >You must be kidding me. That's like way too much. Come on. How can you just like... Wait. And also, about the dessert and everything, I don't understand why everything can be so sweet. Don't you think you can't actually tolerate that much? It just like every single time I put those candy or donuts in my mouth, it just like... Yeah, it's delicious, but it's way too sweet. And another thing that shocked me in America is actually people drink tap water out of sink. In China, we grow up with the theory that you are never allowed to drink tap water, because in China, tap water is like full of heavy metal, and parasite, and this and that disgusting thing in there, so we can never allowed to drink that. If you drink tap water in China you will be extremely sick and end up in hospital but in America, everybody drink tap water. It's a huge shocking for me In my brain it just keep telling me, you can't drink that that's basically put toxic in your body but in order to survive, I have to. You don't boil it or something? >Why would you boil water? Water I seriously, seriously, don't get it why Americans keep drinking ice cold water in the freezing ice cold winter. That's like insane. Because when we're little we just basically, a really brutal punishment for people. For example, like, haha, you lose again, you gotta eat ice cream in the winter. You lost a bet. You have to drink ice cold water. It's freezing. > No it's.. > It's snowing. > Who wants warm soda? It's going to make you brain freeze or make you have stomach ache. I think maybe another reason is like even in the hot summer, Chinese actually drink hot water because we think that's way easier for us to digest. But here, people just feel like that's nothing, that's basically every single day what they do. That's like, insane. I can't handle all those, like, soda. Can we just like, go to somewhere and drink some tea? >Um, can I have the vanilla chai, large? It's vanilla tea. Do you like vanilla? > Yeah, I love it. >Here you go. (distressed scream) >What's wrong? >Ugh, Liz. >You haven't even said what's wrong with it. > IT'S ICE! >You said you wanted tea, I went to Dunkin Donuts. What, do you want my gloves? Here. (laugh) That's not going to heal my internal ?? >People have this all the time. There's Christmas trees in the winter. People have this all the time. I don't care about the trees. Another thing actually confused me is about the advertisement phone number. I'm so confused. Why are they all words? > 1-800-FLOWERS >To find out, call 1-800-LAWYERS right now. 1-800 94-JENNY. Call 1-800-94-JENNY today. You're not going to shoot me, are ya? No, this is New York, we're gonna sue you. 1-800-LAW-1333 For example, like 1-800-FOOD, 1-800-JERRY-SPRINGER, and 1-800 blah blah, fortune teller. > Who asked you to go out of town, the stupid one or the married one? Every phone number seems to be a word. I don't get it. Why is that? How the hell do you dial a word? Honey, I gotta call this like, stupid makeup thing to refund. They didn't send me the gift set. What, what are you talking about? What do you mean? I mean like, normally you have numbers, now it's words. How can you possibly do that? What's the number? Like, 1-800-ORANGES. (laughs) I mean like it doesn't make sense to me. Try to dial it. You mean like, for example they had 6 MNO, I should, plus three times like I should choose.. (laughs) 1, 2, 3 Like the old fashioned texting. (laughs) Where is the I? Oh. Crap, they're all 3 at the back. No longer in service? I didn't even finish my dialing. I don't want to do that anymore. Another thing that actually confused me is some of the American coins don't have numbers on it as a foreigner that actually confused me and especially the first time you're holding a bunch of the coins when you try to go to a supermarket to buy stuff actually that's really embarrassed. You don't even know what is what and good thing is, American people are actually really really helpful, so when I actually panic, I tried to like go to the cashier to buy stuff. I just like grabbed a bunch of coins and said "please help me." That's really desperate move. One thing I love about America is how cheap the things are and you guys, America, are so lucky. Hey Vivie, what are we doing? Shopping! Well I think we're going to be shopping for some discount jeans In China, a lot of things are actually really, really cheap if you try to live the full Chinese style. But the thing is, we love the import car, we love import shoes, we love cheese, we love, like, import steaks, If you want all those kind of things, wow, you go bankrupt. Who do you think you are? I look like Winston, I just need a suit. Yeah, not a lot of these sick t-shirts. and just a little blue here. But in America everything is so cheap and you guys actually have so many coupons, if you do it correctly, you can end up having a huge bag of grocery and with like 99 cents or whatever That's actually insane, I love that game. You know Chinese love bargains. Vivie.. What's wrong with white people clothes? What's wrong with that? Oh, it doesn't cover your privates. Is that what white people like? What is your commentary on this? White people really constantly show their parts You're not? I don't have parts. Do you have body issues? I don't have parts. You're just see through? I'm just a blob. You're a blob. (laughs) And be honest, yes, China is cheaper if you buy Chinese things but come on, I actually like cheese. She had a great time in America and it's always a pleasure to go back with her and honestly even me, myself, being an American, going back sometimes I find myself kind of shocked about these things as well. I hope you guys enjoyed the video and I will catch you on the next one. Actually I want you guys to go check out a video that Serpenzedite did about the transportation system in America and how it's so much worse than the transportation system in China. And don't click off just yet Bloopers are at the end. I'm getting like milky spit in my mouth. What am I talking about? Hold on. When was that? 3 2 1 Hey Lao weiners Thank you so much Lao winners and I will catch you on the next one. Is that a wrap? Are you filming my feet? I don't want them to see I'm standing on this. Come on! I'm tall! (laughs) One thing I like about... get back here! come on... ok 1-2-3 but come on. I like cheese. > Love! > I love.. You keep telling me like! I said love! I walk away your kiss! ARGHH! you said like... you said like.. but come on I like cheese. LOVE (laughs) ok. 1-2-3 but come on, I love cheese.
