You are proof that a positive attitude can transform an experience. What fun. Thank you for taking us along to somewhere most of us will have never seen.
I absolutely Love, Love ,Love this Garden. Maybe I should travel there and chain myself to it. I liked the green dress but you can wear everything. 🥰
Thank you Stephanie. This was a wonderful excursion for all of us. I especially loved the food you’d ordered. It all looked delicious. Hope you have a great flight home. ❤
It's those unexpected stops that make the trip special.
Second your comment! Great attitude results in great time.
Only Stephanie Jarvis could miss her flight, land in China, get stranded, and find a great restaurant, all the while, not speaking a word of Chinese & absolutely enjoy herself!❤That’s our Girl!❤
I swear, Stephanie could somehow make being caught up in a tornado a super fun adventure. She is a treat herself!
Yes, she would rescue the antique china ware as it whizzed around her and give a short bio on each piece as it's rescued.🤣👍
Japan culture is originally from China 👍
I can’t say that. I can only say that it is greatly influenced by China.
@jackychen5578 Well, Japan is basically made up of people from China. The original natives or aborigines are Burakumins, Ainus, etc. The migration of Chinese to Japan probably started earlier than that the recorded history of Xufu (Jofuku) who went to the eastern islands (Japan) with 5,000 girls and boys during the Qin Shihuang reign. There is still a statue of him in Japan. It was said he became the first emperor of Japan. Like many Chinese who migrated overseas, for example, to Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, etc., the Japanese who came from China changed their names for various reasons and partly to blend into the community. Past and recent DNA tests by the Japanese themselves show that they are mostly of Han Chinese origins. (Well, note that even the so-called Tibetans have the same DNA as Han Chinese.)
japan is part of the sinosphere. scatch the surface of japanese cultures, you will find made in China. Same with korea & north vietnam.
It’s like you were speaking straight to me. After becoming a widow last year, I’ve been trying to get up the guts to travel to travel to France alone. (People are nice even if you don’t speak their language). Thanks Stephanie, I’m going to do it.
Lisa you can do it! Sorry for your loss…
@@maurawhelan3530 Thanks. That’s so sweet. For a while I thought my love of travel had died with him. Now I’ve taken a couple little trips here in the US and I’m hoping to get comfortable with the idea of France. (I think he’s giving me a little nudge with all of this)
I'm sure that your hubby would have wanted you to carry on doing the things that you love and enjoy and if that's traveling then go for it. I'm so sorry for your loss. X
You should do it, I went backpacking at 45 alone to Singapore, Australia and India and I was fine 😊 enjoy.
lol. I am in tears now 😂. Smell of burning general mobilization, blazed flower glue with coconut emperor and Buddha leaps over the wall in golden soup. These are well known, traditional Cantonese dishes. Absolutely precious. I read Chinese and I can never imagine anyone translating these dishes directly and literally. The first dish can be translated into “a large selection of assorted BBQ meat” 2nd dish can be “fish maw stew in coconut soup” 3rd dish is a stew of an assortment of precious dried seafood. It was given this strange name because even Buddha,who is vegetarian, leaps over the wall when he smells this dish.😂
😂 Thanks for the clarification!
"Smell of Burning General Mobilization" made my day, thank you Stephanie!
Oh my dear. A few travels tips I've learned the hardway. 1. In my travel purse, I always carry an extra pair of quick dry undies (or two), listerine mouthwash spray, and a tiny travel toothbrush. 2. In Google Translate, you can download specific languages that can be used offline when you have no internet. 3. I have a tiny umbrella made for backpackers. It folds incredibly small and weighs next to nothing. Made by Montbell. Those three tips have saved my bacon on many a travel delay/times when my bag was delayed. 4. Bonus tip: Sephora has many tiny travel versions of makeup, and a tiny pressed powder foundation goes a very long way. That being said, you don't need makeup. ❤❤
Great tips thanks! And I always travel with a sheet of bubble wrap to wrap souvenirs.
11:25 Yes! Most people on this planet ARE kind! So important to understand and remember! 😃
I couldn't stop laughing through the menu description 😂
I’ve decided that you are an excellent videographer. You are very knowledgeable about the places you go and can speak about them without sounding like a tour guide. I thought I liked your videos because of all the interesting people at the chateau but you alone are quite interesting. I enjoyed your mini break, thanks for taking me along. I am so glad I did not have to try to fit in your suitcase. 😂
Yet another extraordinary experience with Stephanie! I really didn't expect to take a day trip to China this time yesterday, let alone Japan the days before!
Thank you sooo much Stephanie for yet another wonderful, wonderful in the true sense of the word, break. China was nothing like I would have expected. What you said about the number of kind people in the world made me rethink of what is happening all around us in Europe at the moment. Maybe there is hope for a better future for my grandchild.
Patricia, count on it. Good things ahead. And, yes, most of us are kind people. It’s the baddies who make all of the noise. Chin up! Pray for Good Men to do what will help the world. It is happening. Take heart.
Stephanie! Thank you for taking me on such a wonderful experience! Again, I feel like that freeloading friend who always seems to forget their wallet on our excursions! It may have felt like you were alone and stranded but there were thousands of us right there with you. Thank you, by the way, for letting us know things like prices and names, etc…btw, in Texas (Dallas), you would have paid $30 for a steak dinner (1 plate of food) and nowhere near the aesthetics!
Stephanie, Queen of Making the Best of a Bad Situation!👑
9:27 What's so scary in China? OMG! The scary part is you yourself.
I've said it before. Following you (and Oliver too) on your travels beats any "professional" travelogue I've seen. Wonderful perception, wonderful filming. Thank you!
You didn't need the foundation, you look lovely without it. Thank for this wonderful video x
Stephanie, I agree that you do not need foundation. You look so youthful without it!
I agree with the person who said attitude is everything! You have such a loving, grateful and brave attitude and outlook. I am so happy to spend time in your world, the one you take so much time and care to share with us...even when you are stranded!
With love & gratitude,
Audri
Attitude: Gets the job done. What a wonderful mini adventure, lovely Stephanie
Haha loved the names of the food at the restaurant, thanks for taking us along on your stopover in China.👏👏👏
Nobody does being stranded more elegantly.
Green is a colour you never seem to choose but I think it looks good on you.
I’m sure that’s as close as I will ever get to spending a day in China but I loved it! Thanks for taking us along.
Stephanie, I just adore you. You are such a delight to hang out with. God bless you, angel. I'm praying you get home safe. Take care.
Stephanie…..you are amazing! I would have fallen apart if I got stranded in a foreign country by myself. I love the positivity you have and the great information you gave in China. Your dress is beautiful and looked fabulous on you! 😉🥰👗🍷🙏
Wow, what a adventure. Thanks for taking us with you. The gardens were beautiful. Blessings.
Thank you Stephanie for the encouragement in regards to being adventurous. My oldest son was that way especially in travel, not afraid of anything. I am a bit different. Everything different brings this fear in me out. I felt as if my son was speaking through you to me, "Mom get out there and see things. Enjoy life." Maybe I just will now. Thanks for the encouragement.
You actually look very good without the foundation make up.
An oriental garden would be nice at Lalande. Maybe near the lake? I can imagine a large pagoda across the lake.
She discussed waterfalls and water jets with Davey, but we haven't seen plans yet. The mosquitos must be controlled by moving the water. ❤
Would make a great folly on the island with a wonderful Chinese statue and a great Asian day bed or tea service area.
That was fantastic thank you Stephanie. A lovely detour indeed~
Yes, I often think that it’s the unexpected detours in life that are some of the most memorable. ❤️
I am so glad you chose that dress Stephanie! As soon as you put it on I knew it was perfect on you. I was yelling at the screen to get it. And thank you for such an uplifting positive video. I think I would have been terrified or have a meltdown to be stranded in a foreign country with a language I did not understand and no internet! But you transformed that day completely around. The meal looked delicious! You showed off the best of China. And you're right. Most people on this planet are kind. Just remember that and you will be fine. Treat others with dignity and they will do the same for you. I wish you well and hope you are at home now in the loving arms of your family. I look forward to tomorrow's video.
...just wish certain gov'ts treated their own citizens with dignity ...and honored treaties that gave autonomy and independence as an honored promise to the people of a certain island when the British pulled out. Praying for Stephanie's safety (not from the lovely and kind people themselves) ...but that other dragon that breathes flames onto human rights and makes them go up in smoke!!
And the black one was awesome too! I was so hoping you'd get it!
Oh Stephanie I was so glad you got the new dresses for a change of clothes. Fun to shop in a different country. That food it makes our American diet look for simple and plain I must say.
You are so brave! I admire your positivity so much and appreciate you bringing us along on your journey!
I've never actually loved anyone I've never met in person before. But I love you my sweet friend! I know this because I worried about you all day, saying little reminders to God to please bless you with safety and get you home to Philip! I hope you have no objection to being like one of my "bonus daughters", even though I know you have Isabelle who loves you dearly. Your very best self shone throughout this vlog, and you are the epitome of innocent, dear and sweet, and kind. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, as though you are one-on-one friends with all of us. Love from your friend Cindy in Durham, North Carolina USA. ❤🙏😍
Stephanie, when a notice about your upcoming video showed up, I told my husband, who watches your channel with me, that you were stranded in China, then I said, but if I know Stephanie, from watching you for so long, she will take these lemons and make lemonade out of it and sure enough, you actually said those words at the beginning of the video 😊. Thank you for taking us along for a nice, long, leisurely sip of some your delicious lemonade.
I would love to have a travel partner such as you, I would always have a blast no matter what! Love this series of travel videos. I also love the outfit you bought❤
I had a Fantastic Time as well- Thank You for taking us along! I love that your Father is near you always- his paintings, his memories- and in reminders such as in his love of Koi Carp. That is so lovely and he'll always be with you and your Mum. I love that Percy is not at all bothered as he is a Gem unto himself. Thank you so much for including us in your travels- so beautiful and enjoyable! Safe Travels and you'll be home in no time.
What a trooper Stephanie! Love the dress you bought! Hope you are back home in no time! 😊
Omg. I was laughing out loud at the names of those dishes. One of my favorite vlogs! Who knew a missed flight could bring such joy!
😊 Wow...loved this trip too! Seeing so many new and lovely things! Even when you have no idea where you are going you are a great tour guide!😊
Dear Stephanie, joining you on your day trip in China was indeed a pleasure 😊
When life gives Stephanie lemons she makes limoncello out of them. Fabulous video, that restaurant is must see, such a peaceful place on a middle of busy city. Stephanie made the best out of her set back for sure.
Stephanie, when life hands you lemons, you make champagne. That garden was sublime.
As many have said before me you are a breath of fresh air and it is a p;erasure to watch your diaries. Safe Travels home.
Another uplifting reminder to make lemonade.. ❤
Stephanie may your flight home be an enjoyable one. ❤️🤗
That felt like a girl's day out and I was your girlfriend lunching with you and exploring the gardens together. I loved the garden and the food looked amazing. I love living vicariously through you. I am excited to be back at Lalande too.
I had a fantastic trip to China with you . Thank you for taking us along and now I am looking at recreating some of that delicious lunch . So happy you are finally on your way home. Well done for taking lemons and making them into lemonade. Wonderful positive energy. Sending you love health and happiness always from Dubai 💕💝😊
Took the words right out of my mouth Stephanie, ideas for Dan or Davy. Everything is beautiful!!!
I love how you make lemonade out of lemons!! 🍋🍋
I wish I could give this more than just a thumbs up. You are a role model for how to handle adversity! ❤
James Clavell was known to be a writer of great historical accuracy. I remember vividly about halfway through Sho-Gun (I continued reading all of the series except for Whirlwind way back when.) that I would probably have little trouble becoming a vegetarian given some of the heathen-like mannerisms of the Europeans (we Americans are worse) at the time compared to the refined and almost dignified social customs, manners and mannerisms of the Japanese (and the Chinese as well). The view through your camera lense and vivid narration brought all of those memories back into crystal clear focus unlike anything I've experienced since. That includes an all expense-paid tour of Saigon for one year although the vietnamese are an entirely different culture than the Japanese. Not bad, just different. That being said, I want to express my gratitude, Stephanie for re-kindeling those old thoughts and impressions for me. You do an absolutely marvelous job of giving life to an empty residential street or a not-yet-open restaurant. Thanks. Jack L. And yes, you made all those dresses look pretty good, too!
This was such a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! It seemed even the rain was part of the esthetic experience.
What an adventure! You handled the stress like a queen!
Absolutely divine video of a very cosmopolitan lady adventurer.
It's a pleasant reminder that wherever you go in the world, there are people who are kind and good.
I have loved every one of the hundreds of "Stephanie" videos I have watched. I would think it could not get much better, but this one is really over the top!!!!! I have enjoyed this adventure to the utmost! You enjoy things the way I do, but I don't have the ability to travel, so thank you so much for sharing this priceless treasure with me and all your 'followers' as we tag along.
I think the green dress is stunning
Stef you are such a tonic! Such a fun and unexpected day in China.
Oh Stephanie what good fortune your missed flight turned out to be. And I love your dress and cardigan 😍
Your reading of the menu was hilarious. So much fun. I was so concerned for you but you are such a trooper. You made the best of it and showed us all how to be an adventurer.
Wow! Thank you! Thank you! This was so brave of you! I thoroughly enjoyed exploring China along with you! That garden is my dream garden. Water falls, streams , ponds, fish, lush greens with pops of color... 😍 You found some gorgeous clothes too. I enjoyed the editing of the video too. Before you said anything about your face I was thinking, "Wuw. That tool has really made her skin look good! Or has all that green tea cleansed Stephanie? Her skin looks so clear and bright! So beautiful. She must be using a filter on her phone. "
Thanks for the China tour, Stephanie! Definitely mind blowing!
I knew you would find the beauty in a busy city!
Thanks so much for taking us with you! That restaurant garden was beautiful!
The restaurant you went is a very special kind that designed for wedding banquet or high-standard hosting , so you can see round tables (8-10 ppl/table), big screen (for wedding VCR), and the first menu you saw is actually a 10 people combo. That is also why the dish is so big.
We all have had a fantastic time on your little adventure in China.
Safe home travels.
Best Lemonade ever!!!
Stephanie, I love the dresses you chose, especially that first one. I think the cut, the color, the collar, everything really flatters you! What an adventure! Attitude is everything 😊
Thanks for sharing Stephanie! I would probably curled up in a corner and just slept! You're a champ!
Stephanie, thank you for taking all of us along on such a magical trip to countries we probably won't ever get to go to. Hope you have a safe trip home. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
This is a perfect example of the positive, joyful spirit we all love so much about you Stephanie 😊❤
Next time, come visit Shanghai! It's a city that seamlessly blends tradition and modernity, offering breathtaking sights and delicious cuisine. With a plethora of world-class luxury hotels at affordable prices, it's where the East meets the West, and where people are known for their kindness, friendliness, and hospitality
Lovely adventure in China, Stephanie soooo happy you now are on your way back to La Lande
Stephaine! Thank you for being such a sport and going through the rain for us to see such beauty!😘
Loved this one. The synchronized swimming made me laugh. Food looked so good. Thank you for being you!
What a delightful day just living in the moment! ❤
I see you. This was specially incredible. As in all the best performance, you are fully and freely expressed, and it is so joyful. And at the same time the subject you are presenting is always forward. You always have that perfect balance. No doubt a classical training in your background influences. Thank you, Stephanie. You were simply built for this. You are a joy and treasure, and we love you. I'm sure the planet will not mind me speaking for them. 😉
Oh Stephanie, you are well traveled. So brave and make good of whatever you have. When I grow up I want to be like you. lol Thank you for showing us a little of China.
What an amazing adventurous soul you are Stephanie! This is one of my favorite videos! ❤❤❤
What a wonderful adventure you have had! It has been lovely to travel with you as you made the very best of the situation!❤
I'd still be petrified in the airport. Stephanie, you are my heroine. How wonderful you are.
Thanks for the adventure. I look forward to your videos every night
Thank you for taking us on this little mini trip! It was wonderful to see the garden at the restaurant. I was a little apprehensive when you got in the taxi and went an hour away, but why not try and see some of the city! you are truly a world traveler! I really admire you! And you managed to buy some beautiful dresses! My sister and her family lived in China for several years, so I really love to see the sights there. I hope that the rest of your trip is uneventful and you get home for a rest!
You manifested that awesome day by having such a positive attitude in the situation, and I am glad you did, because that garden was magical. Get home safe and sound.
Love the dress, my favourite!
No 3 and the black dress both looked great on you.
Travelling on a Chinese airline?? You are braver than me!!
Really enjoyed your video my dear! ☺️❤ please do come back and do a proper visit trip to China! 🇨🇳
So many great design ideas in that garden.
What a treasure you found! The stranding was well worth it!
You definitely" go with the flow " and I enjoyed hanging out with you from my couch.❤
This reminded me of the long ago videos that drew me to your channel in the first place. Felt more organic and spontaneous than they have in a very long time if I’m honest. Miss those.🥰
Correction: everything is written in Chinese.
Mandarin and Cantonese are just 2 dialects.
The Chinese writtings was standardised by Shi huangdi of Qin dynasty. Today, there are ten major sinitic Han dialect supergroups, The Hua (mandarin) jin hui ping wu min yue ke (hakka) gan xiang. each supergroup have its regional sub dialects. Mandarin itself have about 90+ sub dialects, min has about 10+ sub dialects...as example.
@@achtungbaby2009 it is like saying London English and Oxford English are 2 dialects. Stop confusing people. It’s Chinese language. Mandarin is one dialect and it’s official in Mainland and Taiwan.
I speak American and Redneck. Are they two dialects too?
I’m so glad you brought the brown dress. I that was my favorite. I’m glad a postponed flight led to a wonderful day in China!
Nooo the light green one looked so cute .
Thank you! Your bravery during a trying time was exceedingly rewarded with a beautiful experience and though raining a gorgeous day out! The clothes,the incredibly beautiful gardens and yummy meal too. You're just so cute inside and out! Hope your back with your loved ones safe and snug! 💗
Best vlog of your trip because it was so impromptu. You picked the right dress, the gardens were gorgeous and the food looked delicious. Thanks for sharing...sometimes the unplanned experiences are the best.
The garden is magical! Especially in the rain. What an exceptional missed flight!
With little bias and prejudices, but except you, the views look amazing, hotel and restaurant look so luxurious, meal for the emperor and what a park with beautiful koi fish.
😊 You are so lovely. The dresses are nice. The garden is beautiful. The food is good.
Oh my how many times I’ve had to wash my underwear and socks in my hotel room and dry them with a blow dryer. 😂😂 I thought I was the only one.
