Chinese City with a Strong Russian Heritage | Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province 

Yeah - I could have done the northeastern food thing, but I eat that all that time. I was wanting some good, authentic Russian cuisine, which Harbin used to have, but from what I can see, is pretty much gone now. 😔

你好Melanie！I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the video! I will be returning to 哈尔滨 again soon and will make another video! Do you have any suggestions on where I should visit or what I could do in Harbin?

Thanks!

Shhh go away, don't bring heat on small, comfy channels 🤐

Yeah - totally agree! I think you guys have been as for north as Mohe, yeah? I'd really like to get up there sometime!

@@hoddtoward He doesn't bring heat bro, he's literally like one of the nicest guys out there. It's the wumao that are the problem.

Indeed

Wanted to ask if @chopsticks…knew you two reprobates 🤪 but decided not to. Keeping a low profile seems wise. Good to have both your channels now.

Yup, the shuttle trade is in the past now. Today people just order on the internet or even if they visit China to select products to buy, they will just pay for its shipping.

Thanks for watching and commenting :)

You've been to Harbin?

yeah spent a few weeks in Qiqihar and Harbin but mostly in an office building 😆

Got another Harbin vid coming soon - not of the museum but of some other interesting things! Thanks for tuning in sir!

Thanks... BUT, I looked and looked... I think that restaurant is closed now. Maybe 疫情 was too hard for it... many businesses went under during the pandemic.

@@chopsticksandtrains it is 100% still open 😆 just checked with my friend who visited that cobblestone pedestrian street today, I guess you can visit next time! I’ve honestly been there myself a few years ago but I can’t honestly recommend it. If you’re in Harbin you gotta try the GuoBaoRou, nowhere else beats Harbin’s version.

@@awooga Thanks! I have had 锅包肉 so many times, 有点吃腻了。 OK, Next time I'm in Harbin I'll try again to find Huamei Restaurant! Thanks for your help! I'll go back to Harbin soon! :)

haha, apparently so! Aren't many around these days, that's for sure!

Were they Ukrainians?

their accounts are linked to their national id card.. so, yeah… it’s all easily monitored and traced back. And yeah, some Chinese use VPNs, but the vast, vast majority do not.

@@chopsticksandtrains Good to know. Appreciate! I wonder about my friends and colleagues there. Last msg I got was a sweet kid who ran away from the Harbin school. With his limited English he told me not to worry, he was fine, & we msgd a short while…then nothing until Covid when he simply asked “can get me antigens.”. Of course I couldn’t, but wonder how he’s doing and where he is. ☹️
