Lmao, so you feel like you're being watched, remarking "how many cameras?". Well, how many cameras are in the big cities of the "free world"? I count no less than 5 just on traffic lights in California, so what the f are you talking about? America is the biggest surveillance state in the world. You don't feel it only because you know your "free world" government doesn't care about your kind of "dissent", if any to begin with. But wait till you start supporting Russia Today, then you'll see what happens to journalists who refuse to stay inside that small box of freedom you have.
Actually, you don't need to go to the dining car. You can order KFC or any other food by scanning the QR code on your seats' arm. And when the train arrived the next station, the food will be brought to your seat right away.😊
No, they are actually touring the train see what amenities there are. They don’t intend to order KFC at the dining car until they are told that there is KFC services.
When I first time rode the HSR in China, I was a bit scared of leaving my luggage at the rack because it was positioned far from my seat, I was definitely surprised how everyone around me just left their baggages there like that’s the most normal thing to do, so I followed. My trip was 10 hours, and I periodically went to the rack just checking whether my luggage was still there 😂. At the end of my trip I figured I was overly concerned. Hope you guys keep enjoying China!
In fact, after coming to China, people are worried about cameras everywhere and afraid of being monitored. In fact, you can rest assured that they are only used to monitor bad people, making China one of the safest countries in the world. This allows you to go shopping and have supper in the early morning without worrying about being robbed or stolen. I will also install surveillance cameras in my own home
And thanks to the digital payment, neither cash nor wallet needs to be carried in bag. You only take care of your phone. Thieves are "losing their jobs" here.
The moment I stepped into China, I was pleasantly surprised by the 144-hour visa-free policy. From the bustling cities to the alleys of ancient towns, every place was beyond imagination. The beauty of China is well-deserved!
In fact, in China, high-speed rail seats are business seats, first-class seats and second-class seats. Among them, the most expensive is the business seat, which can have a completely flat seat, and a free meal is provided for long-distance travel. Secondly, KFC in China also has French fries. Finally, welcome to visit China. I know you from bilibili, and welcome you to China again👏
KFC in the UK also has fries, but the chicken tastes much better in China than UK. Things like popcorn chicken is made using chicken thigh meat in China compared to chicken breast in the UK which doesn't have much flavour.
Interesting! Great to know! We loved the train and were impressed with its speed! Not mentioning the food options - which we ended up paying for but it was so much for it ❤️❤️ While we were booking the seats for the First Class we saw that Business Class was also available but the price level was crazy 🤯🤯 It's probably worth paying as you get extra services and amazing customer care, but for us $176 USD/person was already a big enough expense at the moment 🙏🏼
Appreciate you toning your voice down a notch on the train. That’s called basic human decency. Saw another couple travel channel recorded their journey, they sat alongside an older local and the local was looking very uncomfortable having camera panned on his face constantly while the content creator were laughing/trying out snacks for the whole journey. Asians in asia dont confront you it’s on the tourists to behave. Dont ruin travelling for the rest of us 😂
10.1-10.7 is China’s National Day holiday. You will see a huge crowd, so please be mentally prepared. So try to avoid attractions that are too popular, otherwise you may collapse if there are too many people.

We took the metro to the train station so we went through the underground entrance to the train platforms.

You don't need to go to the main entrance but we would have liked to show the station inside but I guess this is more efficient and what most people will do (I think haha).
@@JayandKarolina the prices are just in multiples, first class usually around 2x 2nd class, and business class 3-4x 2nd class. if you have a short trip, 2nd class can be below $10 so it's worth paying $30-35 for a business class seat just for the experience since it includes lounge and queue bypass. but for longer trips, 2nd class is honestly fine 😆. first class is definitely not worth 2x second class
I personally don't see the point paying for 1st class or business on Chinese high speed rail. 2nd class is good enough and you get bigger seats and more legroom that you would ever get in a 1st class UK train seat. Buy your own snacks and drinks before boarding the train and a couple of instant noodle bowls and take advantage of the free hot water in every carriage. This is the true China experience.
We might break the bank next time and try business class but tbh it doesn't seem worth it or value for money. First class was already a bit too expensive in my opinion. Second class I agree is probably the best value for money! Our train was quite early in the morning so we didn't have time to get snacks and drinks - we could of got it the day before but that's no fun haha
@@JayandKarolinaYou can experience high-speed rail business class on short journeys so as not to spend too much money, such as from Shanghai to Hangzhou, Shanghai to Suzhou.
@@JayandKarolina Well it made for a far more interesting video ordering KFC and local food on the train. I love how super friendly and helpful the staff were to you both. That is exactly what I have experienced in China myself each time I have visited. The people will do their absolute best to help you even if they cannot speak English and you cannot speak Chinese. Its a little easier these days with smart phones, Google Translate etc, but I'm old enough to remember visiting China before all that and it was a far more difficult experience but I still found people absolutely willing to help you. I love the country and its people so much.
@@JayandKarolina You need to compare it to flying and the time required or spent on your journey and add in taxi times and cost (e.g. from the airport to downtown). This is the reason I fly to BJ (from SHA) because even allowing for the taxis and extra time there are very cheap flights. However for traveling to my wife's home town (Wenzhou) from SHA we always go by train (station is 10 mins drive from home) as there is no major monetary saving either way, the train and experience is far more comfortable and convenient and we save time (arrive 20-25 mins before the train departs - they don't allow boarding until 10-15 mins before anyway - instead of 90 mins for a flight). Business Class on trains is the highest standard with lay flat, massage like, seats and usually only 4 seats to a cabin. Personally I don't see the extra value for short trips (under 3 hours) so always take 1st.
You can book any food on the train. Every seat has the same price if they are in the same class. So, if you book the ticket early, you can choose where you want to sit.
FYI. the 2nd class seat of bullet train is good enough，and not much different from the first class seat except the price，while the business class seat is far better but around four times the price of the 2nd class seat. So maybe the 2nd class seat will always be the best choice.
I think of a question, China will soon start the National Day holiday, in two or three days there will be super super people out to travel, then everywhere is the flow of people😂
Jolly good to have you in China! From this video, one can see you chaps arrived in Shanghai on the fourteenth of September. I reckon you've since popped off to other parts of the country. Do come back to Shanghai for another jolly, won't you? There are heaps more surprises waiting for you here. If you're still knocking about in China, you absolutely must have a go at one of those clever self-driving motors (like AITO, for instance). It'll be absolutely smashing, I dare say!
When you purchased your tickets, you could have chosen your seat with full window view. You call the western style toilet the proper one. The squat toilet is far better for health than sitting down.
We unfortunately booked this through an agency a long time before we came to China. We now use trip.com which seems like the way to go. We booked it with the agency because we didn’t know if the tickets for first class would sell out and we thought they would send us the tickets earlier then trip.com (which you can only book 2 weeks out). I guess it’s nice for some people to have peace of mind and not worry about booking it but it’s more expensive and we didn’t get to choose our seat…still learning here in China!
@@northenpeace1111 psychological effect. It is fine to sit on a seat other barefoot butt just sit on. Seldomly folks carry bacteria on their bare skin. I do not worry that much
Welcome to China, I read on Tiktok and then came to UA-cam to catch up, it should be noted that there will be a lot of people traveling on the National Day, travel needs to be planned in advance, otherwise it may not be able to buy tickets, and finally wish you all the best and happy in the next trip❤
The train ticket is quite expensive? Not really. US$90 can get you a 1200 km trip (similar to a trip from NYC to Miami). Enjoy a very affordable transportation.

We did visit the Forbidden city in our second video in China. We expect to come back to Beijing not too far in the future as we had limited time on this trip!
I know why KFC on the train doesn't sell fries, because it takes a while from the time you place an order to the time you get it, and the fries won't be crispy, which greatly affects the taste. So they are not available on the train, but if you go to the store, they have fries.😊
I love your videos but I don't know much English. I watch your videos with subtitles. German videos are like a perfect way of teaching English. I learned a few words in your videos. You know, they are very useful.Your video is a complete learning English Greetings from Germany😍
US led western propaganda extended to gaming, apart from all the smearing before & after the game launch with those so-called "game reviews" by PR companies (ie ScreenRant) as well as attempts to recruit top Chinese streamers to do the same. There were also large amount of DDOS attacks on Stream during the first few days of launch which was over 20,000 time more than Stream DDOS daily average. This week many gamers around the world voted BM: Wukong for the GOTY candidate and became #1 by a huge margin, but IGN manipulated the voting data from 90% to 71% and dropped it to #3 spots in just one hour and more such covert actions later on. Their tweet asking fans about GOTY candidate question also didn't include BM:Wukong picture but included all the other top 4 games candidates. US led propaganda with billions US$ budget won't stop preventing ordinary people from finding out anything positive about this beautiful country. Last week the US has passed over 25 anti-China bills and they proudly called it a "China week," which should be called an anti-China week (but you know double speaking is in their blood...). One of the bill was to approve a budget of US$350 millions per year till 2028 for spreading anti-China propaganda globally. This bill is a continuation of another bill that expired in 2024 that passed in 2020 with US$300 millions per year budget. There was also another similar bill with US$500 millions each year.

Wow Jayesh, you guys are enjoying your trip.That train looks like its from a different planet. The speed it travels and you dont even feel anything it just shows how far China has come.The are making and building to the next level and the Western world is left behind.Looking at the station how clean they look and everything works like clock wise.Thanks for sharing your journey guys 👍👍🙏🙏👌👌🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
At least UA-cam (for now) allows positive videos of China posted like this. God bless the people trying to slow the tide of ignorance. God bless humanity no matter where in the world you are from 🫂
@@melvinch Hmmnn- let me guess. USofA hooraah! Get out the house, nugget. Lear something, enjoy life. Stop hating something you know nothing of. Clear you never were in China. Or probably out of your block/village. Have a great weekend in there. 🙏
You are riding the Fu Xing (pronouced FOO 4th tone, SING 1st Tone) Model, that can travel at 400 kph and more! Its the newest model replacing the He Xie, the previous model that can do about 320 kph. Fu Xing has better seats and bigger and stronger overhead cabin luggage stowage than He Xie, glad you like them. But travelling 2nd class is tougher but you probably pay 50 bucks instead of the 140 for 1st Class. There is also the exclusive Business class with only 6 seats in the whole cabin. That, you will sleep in a cocoon, but will probably pay like 300 bucks for it!
I am Chinese. Including your video, the sponsor of the videos about traveling to China that I have watched recently is all level8. I noticed this because I am also using a level8 suitcase that I have used for 5 years. I have to say it is really good, but there are so many people using it in China that I almost got the wrong luggage with others several times when picking up luggage at the airport.
In China, most lights have a frequency of 50Hz. In your video, I noticed screen flickering. I suggest adjusting the frame rate or shutter speed to avoid the flickering, which would improve the viewing experience
I think the problem is that some lighting has 60Hz whilst the main frequency is 50Hz. My camera is set to 50FPS and has anti flicker on auto so it set up for PAL regions. I’ll double check this!
The hole in the ground is also a proper toilet. It's an old style toilet in Asia where you squat to do your business. Soda Biscuits is what the Chinese called cracker. The term is also used in places like Malaysia and Singapore. On HSR, second class is definitely more value for money. KFC China serves tasty fried chicken, much better than KFC from many other countries and the pastel de nata from KFC China is indeed very good.
That high-speed train looks like the HSR they use here in Indonesia, maybe similar model. You should check out our Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Railway when you come back here.
It is very convenient to travel from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station to Suzhou and Hangzhou. It only takes 30 minutes to go to Suzhou and you can plan a one-day trip. Both cities are very beautiful, with well-developed natural landscapes and economies
hey bro great video. I’m here in Shanghai right now and I have been here more times than I can remember and I’m very familiar with the city. Regarding the huge crowd you saw around the East Nanjing Rd., my guess is that you ran into the tourist wave of a national holiday. It is absolutely not normal that you see such a crowd waiting for green light at a crossroad and requires so many policemen to guide the pedestrian traffic. Judging from when this video was posted I guess it could be the Mid-autumn festival where the whole country has a 3 or 4 day holiday. There are always HUGE amount of travelers from other parts of China come to visit Shanghai on national holidays except the Chinese New Year, when everyone goes home (a little like the Thanksgiving or Christmas).
Friends, welcome to visit my motherland. China is the safest place. When I take the subway in New York, I have to be careful that someone behind me might push me off the track. I wish you a pleasant journey! !
I found your comment on so called high train fares but if you caught the train from London to Scotland which is less then a quarter of the distance would be more expensice and No service !
@@zackk4969Why do you care, you can’t afford it anyways. I see your comments a lot, you are a member of keyboard army and paid by smear fund, not enough to travel 😂
Welcome to Shanghai, you will definitely feel surprised ;) $48 can't even get you backpackers in London lol Thanks for showing KFC in China, which is very different and more value for money definitely!
When passing through a gate in China's train station, you should check you id document first, and go through it after the door opened. If you get in the gate before your id document get check. The gate will alarm.
The boarding check you went through is the fast-lane boarding check specifically for passengers arriving to the train station by subway, so you didn't come up to the main gate
KFC in China serve French fries too but for some reason they don’t include it on the train. I guess because the fries will lost its crispness and become soggy when it’s cold. Fries have to eat hot. Like you said they ordered it from the next available station. Anyway, I hope you guys have an amazing vacation there in Shanghai. Lots of food, lots of shopping and a lot to explore. Waiting for your next vlog. Take care! Cheers from Macau 🇲🇴 China 🇨🇳
Fun fact about KFC Egg tarts. They are based on Portuguese pasteis de nata but were a variation originally created by a British man, Andrew "Lord" Stow, based in Macau. He married a local lady who set up her own shop after divorcing form her husband and she sold her own version of the original recipe, which she then sold to KFC, which they continue to use to this very day. Its very common for a KFC meal in China to come with an egg tart for dessert. I love them so much.
Hi Guys.. Magic Video !!!! Hi Jay i just replied to your reply, Ha Ha. The trains are first class every thing there... The trains the stations the service puts Network rail and the TFL to shame. Thanks for sharing your experience. John

@@JayandKarolina You need to compare it to flying and the time required or spent on your journey and add in taxi times and cost (e.g. from the airport to downtown). This is the reason I fly to BJ (from SHA) because even allowing for the taxis and extra time there are very cheap flights. However for traveling to my wife's home town (Wenzhou) from SHA we always go by train (station is 10 mins drive from home) as there is no major monetary saving either way, the train and experience is far more comfortable and convenient and we save time (arrive 20-25 mins before the train departs - they don't allow boarding until 10-15 mins before anyway - instead of 90 mins for a flight).
Business Class on trains is the highest standard with lay flat, massage like, seats and usually only 4 seats to a cabin. Personally I don't see the extra value for short trips (under 3 hours) so always take 1st.

Lately I have been thinking. How can a country that builds all these nice things for their people, be oppressive.
easy, western propaganda.
因为不是真的 😁

欢迎您来 👍

So you've noticed the "contradiction." People who know nothing about China automatically assume it is oppressive, when that is not the case at all.
你当然知道原因，否则写不出：be oppressive
1300KM cost 176$, it's about 1250 yuan. given the distance, I think the price is okay. maybe next time you should try the 2nd class.
I just checked the second class price is 671 yuan, the first class price is 1073 yuan, the business class price is 2344 yuan

I'm taking the bullet train next week to go to Shanghai 🚝 Can't wait as they're amazing!
i saw u in a few times under china travel vlogs lol, i bet u r doing research for ur upcoming trips
You can book any food on the train. Every seat has the same price if they are in the same class. So, if you book the ticket early, you can choose where you want to sit.
欢迎 🎉
预祝旅途愉快 😁
next week is holiday, crowded everywhere, good luck
FYI. the 2nd class seat of bullet train is good enough，and not much different from the first class seat except the price，while the business class seat is far better but around four times the price of the 2nd class seat. So maybe the 2nd class seat will always be the best choice.
I think of a question, China will soon start the National Day holiday, in two or three days there will be super super people out to travel, then everywhere is the flow of people😂
这是真的 😅

Jolly good to have you in China! From this video, one can see you chaps arrived in Shanghai on the fourteenth of September. I reckon you've since popped off to other parts of the country. Do come back to Shanghai for another jolly, won't you? There are heaps more surprises waiting for you here.
If you're still knocking about in China, you absolutely must have a go at one of those clever self-driving motors (like AITO, for instance). It'll be absolutely smashing, I dare say!
When you purchased your tickets, you could have chosen your seat with full window view. You call the western style toilet the proper one. The squat toilet is far better for health than sitting down.
We unfortunately booked this through an agency a long time before we came to China. We now use trip.com which seems like the way to go. We booked it with the agency because we didn’t know if the tickets for first class would sell out and we thought they would send us the tickets earlier then trip.com (which you can only book 2 weeks out). I guess it’s nice for some people to have peace of mind and not worry about booking it but it’s more expensive and we didn’t get to choose our seat…still learning here in China!

Welcome to China, I read on Tiktok and then came to UA-cam to catch up, it should be noted that there will be a lot of people traveling on the National Day, travel needs to be planned in advance, otherwise it may not be able to buy tickets, and finally wish you all the best and happy in the next trip❤
The train ticket is quite expensive? Not really. US$90 can get you a 1200 km trip (similar to a trip from NYC to Miami).
Enjoy a very affordable transportation.
Still tickets cannot cover all the costs, the rail system is built on debt and runs on deficit.

That express train journey is so uniquely worthy of it. It traveled close to a thousand miles! Wow.
Did you leave Beijing without visiting the Great Wall, Tian 'anmen, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, etc.? It's a shame if that's the case...
We did visit the Forbidden city in our second video in China. We expect to come back to Beijing not too far in the future as we had limited time on this trip!
It seems that you have traveled from one novice village in China to another. Wishing you a smooth journey!
This time around we decided to do the main cities but hope to come back to China and do more of the rural areas as well!!!
What a speed! 🐉🐉
I know why KFC on the train doesn't sell fries, because it takes a while from the time you place an order to the time you get it, and the fries won't be crispy, which greatly affects the taste. So they are not available on the train, but if you go to the store, they have fries.😊

Black Myth: Wukong on the train NICE
I knew there would be people who knew what game that was - that’s why I kept the clip in haha!
US led western propaganda extended to gaming, apart from all the smearing before & after the game launch with those so-called "game reviews" by PR companies (ie ScreenRant) as well as attempts to recruit top Chinese streamers to do the same. There were also large amount of DDOS attacks on Stream during the first few days of launch which was over 20,000 time more than Stream DDOS daily average. This week many gamers around the world voted BM: Wukong for the GOTY candidate and became #1 by a huge margin, but IGN manipulated the voting data from 90% to 71% and dropped it to #3 spots in just one hour and more such covert actions later on. Their tweet asking fans about GOTY candidate question also didn't include BM:Wukong picture but included all the other top 4 games candidates. US led propaganda with billions US$ budget won't stop preventing ordinary people from finding out anything positive about this beautiful country. Last week the US has passed over 25 anti-China bills and they proudly called it a "China week," which should be called an anti-China week (but you know double speaking is in their blood...). One of the bill was to approve a budget of US$350 millions per year till 2028 for spreading anti-China propaganda globally. This bill is a continuation of another bill that expired in 2024 that passed in 2020 with US$300 millions per year budget. There was also another similar bill with US$500 millions each year.
I’m from HK, but have been living in U.S. for 56 years. I didn’t know China is so modern. I wish to visit there someday !

You need to be nervous w / camera in ur country but in china you'll thank them for ur safety especially when you lost something deerly .
Hahaha best joke of 2024.😆
@@melvinch in your country? Probably yes. In China? Probably no.
Cameras are for security, not for your privacy. You have been brainwashed by media to care about cameras.
@@melvinch Hmmnn- let me guess. USofA hooraah! Get out the house, nugget. Lear something, enjoy life. Stop hating something you know nothing of. Clear you never were in China. Or probably out of your block/village. Have a great weekend in there. 🙏
Because the cameras in other countries are for your privacy, while the ones in China are for security.
You are riding the Fu Xing (pronouced FOO 4th tone, SING 1st Tone) Model, that can travel at 400 kph and more! Its the newest model replacing the He Xie, the previous model that can do about 320 kph. Fu Xing has better seats and bigger and stronger overhead cabin luggage stowage than He Xie, glad you like them. But travelling 2nd class is tougher but you probably pay 50 bucks instead of the 140 for 1st Class. There is also the exclusive Business class with only 6 seats in the whole cabin. That, you will sleep in a cocoon, but will probably pay like 300 bucks for it!
9:49 oh the jealousy. That's called real love
I am Chinese. Including your video, the sponsor of the videos about traveling to China that I have watched recently is all level8. I noticed this because I am also using a level8 suitcase that I have used for 5 years. I have to say it is really good, but there are so many people using it in China that I almost got the wrong luggage with others several times when picking up luggage at the airport.
Thanks for sharing! We do really love the quality of the LEVEL8 cases and it's true that it's also beloved by many of the Chinese :)!
Helpful content! Thank you! Excited to be using high-speed train this October!
The first class is not the most expensive actually. The business class is. Opposite of what’s on airplanes.
In China, most lights have a frequency of 50Hz. In your video, I noticed screen flickering. I suggest adjusting the frame rate or shutter speed to avoid the flickering, which would improve the viewing experience
I think the problem is that some lighting has 60Hz whilst the main frequency is 50Hz. My camera is set to 50FPS and has anti flicker on auto so it set up for PAL regions. I’ll double check this!
The hole in the ground is also a proper toilet. It's an old style toilet in Asia where you squat to do your business. Soda Biscuits is what the Chinese called cracker. The term is also used in places like Malaysia and Singapore. On HSR, second class is definitely more value for money. KFC China serves tasty fried chicken, much better than KFC from many other countries and the pastel de nata from KFC China is indeed very good.
That high-speed train looks like the HSR they use here in Indonesia, maybe similar model.
You should check out our Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Railway when you come back here.
Hi Jay, congratulations on the video you made 😄
Hi Karolina, you are nice as always and you are Minister of Culture 😘
Wow. You travelled twice the distance of the Caledonian Sleeper and still got to Shanghai two hours sooner ! You must have hit speeds of 200mph.
actually, it's much faster than that! Maximum speed is 350 km/h, Average is about 280 km/h.
It is very convenient to travel from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station to Suzhou and Hangzhou. It only takes 30 minutes to go to Suzhou and you can plan a one-day trip. Both cities are very beautiful, with well-developed natural landscapes and economies
Thank you so much for the recommendations 😍🙏🏼
Beautiful Trip.
hey bro great video. I’m here in Shanghai right now and I have been here more times than I can remember and I’m very familiar with the city. Regarding the huge crowd you saw around the East Nanjing Rd., my guess is that you ran into the tourist wave of a national holiday. It is absolutely not normal that you see such a crowd waiting for green light at a crossroad and requires so many policemen to guide the pedestrian traffic. Judging from when this video was posted I guess it could be the Mid-autumn festival where the whole country has a 3 or 4 day holiday. There are always HUGE amount of travelers from other parts of China come to visit Shanghai on national holidays except the Chinese New Year, when everyone goes home (a little like the Thanksgiving or Christmas).
Friends, welcome to visit my motherland. China is the safest place. When I take the subway in New York, I have to be careful that someone behind me might push me off the track. I wish you a pleasant journey! !

When passing through a gate in China's train station, you should check you id document first, and go through it after the door opened. If you get in the gate before your id document get check. The gate will alarm.
Hello! Great video. What app did you use to translate?
Google translate got us by in China 👍
as a chinese, i usually dont buy things on train,it is more expensive than other place.we usually buy what we want before ,and u can take it on train
The boarding check you went through is the fast-lane boarding check specifically for passengers arriving to the train station by subway, so you didn't come up to the main gate
KFC in China serve French fries too but for some reason they don’t include it on the train. I guess because the fries will lost its crispness and become soggy when it’s cold. Fries have to eat hot. Like you said they ordered it from the next available station. Anyway, I hope you guys have an amazing vacation there in Shanghai. Lots of food, lots of shopping and a lot to explore. Waiting for your next vlog. Take care! Cheers from Macau 🇲🇴 China 🇨🇳
Fun fact about KFC Egg tarts. They are based on Portuguese pasteis de nata but were a variation originally created by a British man, Andrew "Lord" Stow, based in Macau. He married a local lady who set up her own shop after divorcing form her husband and she sold her own version of the original recipe, which she then sold to KFC, which they continue to use to this very day. Its very common for a KFC meal in China to come with an egg tart for dessert. I love them so much.
Love this! We are heading to Macau soon so we will definitely head to the famous egg tart shop and deliver this as information whilst doing so!

The business class is the top category in the China bullet train network. Not the first class. You should try it sometime.
I think business class was like $300-400 and so for two of us would be too expensive. Not sure if it’s quite worth it? Let me know your thoughts!
