  1. I loved Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta was always my favorite. The inner conflict and it taking a week to get through one speech. Happy Halloween from the D! šŸŽƒšŸ‘»

  2. Alright, is the water level that low? Or did they just really over-compensate the depth of that ravine? That's been bothering me and forgot to ask.

  3. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Well seriously the most hilarious part if anyone looked at a map to even consider this....guess what state is going to catch your eye? Literally right next to us. Lmao

  4. I thought you looked European....through your mask.

  5. Alright I just found your channel and hadn't seen this one yet. I'm pretty sure I know where you are from. Not being weird at all, I won't say it.

  6. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  I REALLY don't understand why people are messing with you, no offense but you're pretty low key (as of now). But guess what? You are awesome and don't stop doing what you're doing.

  7. I prefer the tofu brains oxymoron. So fried dough and soup with tofu for breakfast? I thought there may be a little more variety..

  8. I love how you came at her straight with English 03:25 Did you profile her Anming?

  9. Well, you turned it around on them and just accept that you're awesome.

  10. Lost in Translation...

  11. I feel like it would be really easy to rob a bank in Japan or China...

  12. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Yes, I didn't want to write that and just let people figure it out. If they got it they got it if not, no worries.

  13. Sadly...the best Japanese food I've had was at Miyako's at Great Lakes Crossing...ever been? I remember when we first discovered sake, we felt so cultured.

  14. Which lake was that?

  15. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Yeah that's what I thought, nice video love.

  16. Would that be considered a "Chinese fire drill?"

  17. MSU? Oh my Lord, you're an American in Japan getting into a gun debate.

  18. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Based on a true story, I just thought it was a great scenario and almost, well surreal.

  19. Back to your previous video and general topic, perhaps break into a conversation about the stars and creation of the universe in relation to Greek Gods and constellations.THAT will impress them and you won't have to be so modest =)

  20. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Yeah I get it. Just a thought

  21. I was so waiting for you to say in plain English but you caught yourself lol 06:41. Honestly, I feel like this was more informative and I guess culturally revealing? It is interesting how in America it's considered rude not to look someone in the eye and there it's off-putting or awkward. But obviously it's nuanced, some places here you want to avoid eye contact..

  22. Oh my, that just reminded me of being on the people mover in downtown Detroit. We would be coming from a Red Wings game and (somehow) decide that going to the casino afterwards was a good idea on a work night. So many drunk people packed into that little sardine can.
    1
  23. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Probably. The few people mover.

  24. The fact that she just came back at you with English spoke VOLUMES šŸ’™ From Michigan

  25. You use the word "only" pretty loosely. You have an interesting personality and for me the Michigan connection made me stick around initially. I guess I can't imagine taking the leap that you did and it's admirable. Also I literally just posted my first video and it's nerve racking, the key is not to care right? I have a lot of respect for you guys who put yourself out there all of the time.

  26. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Aww thanks. And I can't believe I'm saying this but like and subscribe? But only if you liked it obviously. It was the first time playing it and a disaster but that's why I kept it. It's honest.

  28. RickshawGUMP? Lmao

  29. People say we have accents in Michigan, I don't hear it. P.S. perhaps after that you could have searched for a Trader Jo in Nagoya?
    1
  30. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Aw I actually researched that joke and thought you'd notice. The castles you mentioned all end in "jo"..Trader Joe's is a store in Michigan....nevermind lol. Yeah we used to go to the Keewenaw on Big Traverse Bay every summer. We felt like city folk for sure up there.

  31. I've been craving Chinese food for awhile now but am almost embarrassed to call it that... it's probably not even close to authentic. What did you like when you were back home if anything?
    1
  32. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  I'm still here, crab rangoons are awesome even though there is zero crab. I'm a die hard sweet and sour chicken guy. There's still a place in Lake Orion that I first had Chinese food as a kid called Carrie Lee's.

  33. Have you experienced any resentment or negativity being an American there particularly from the older citizens?

  34. Where have you been?? Hope all is well. Merry Christmas from Detroit

  35. I worked for Michigan State's grounds department and did quite of bit of gardening. I'm fascinated with botany and wanted to attempt a Bonsai but I've heard too many horror stories. Do you know anyone that's into it? Having conquered multiple languages that you have, I shouldn't allow a plant to be too much of a challenge to me..

  36. If that actual Chinese woman doesn't know what a fortune cookie even is, I feel I've been following the wrong advice my entire life now. Damn it.

  37. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Oh Lord I wasn't expecting that, I learn Lhasa and pack my bags for Tibet.

  38. Remember when I made a joke about it being a great time to rob a bank in China? Not so funny now. It's getting bad in Detroit.

  40. I loved every minute of this...from Yates all the way to the Wings game. I was just excited to see where you would take him next. This is one of my favorite and best videos you have ever made...I may be bias, but I'm also right! šŸ’™From Detroit

  41. After 10 years, you're no longer a foreigner, Pearl. šŸ’™from Michigan again

  42. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Remember whose scale of success you're gauging yourself by. P.S. It's 90 degrees in Detroit right now, in May. Two weeks ago I was scraping my windshield, worst sound in the world.

  43. I would rather see and hear what you actually care about over gotcha gimmicks with unsuspecting participants, that market is already cornered. It is entertaining when you do them but don't be discouraged love.

  44. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  I know you won't see this but I know you listened to my first song on here and maybe you even subscribed and I have another. Holding the fort down in Michigan Sister. We got this

  45. You just got sucked into the belly of the Chinese tourist beast my dear. Too funny. Holy hell I live just outside Detroit, where were you from exactly?
    1
  46. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  What? I don't understand people. I will just tell you that I grew up in Lake Orion. moved to East Lansing, to downtown Royal Oak then to St. Clair Shores at 11 mile and Jefferson right on the lake. I'm sure you will know some of them!
    1
  47. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Alright that's really neat, I figured. I just realized when I worked for Sargent Appliance delivering I went to East China Mi I had never heard of it, did you know there was such a place? Lol....but yeah, that is bullsh*t. A waste of time and money on your part.
    1
  48. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Absolutely, we made hundreds like a little factory. Both potato and I forget the type of cheese ones as well. It hasn't been that long has it? Pierogi's I meant, I was auto-corrected. We're German too, I should have known better than to trust it.

  49. You get demonetized for saying that seriously? Well thank you for the sincerity, I always wondered why you and others immediately brushed off the compliments. This was probably one of your best yet.

  50. Ā @OrientalPearlĀ  Godspeed
