vLog.01: Chuar!
Here it is, the first vBlog. Some friends and I headed out onto the mean streats of Dalian in hunt of some Chinese BBQ, better known as CHUAR!
As summer approaches, there’s nothing better than a few good pengyous, a couple of cheap pijius and a load of skewered random rou. Formica tables, dirty grills, and every part of an animal you can think of – what dining experience can top that?
Hey Ryan, yeah, loved the video. I thought the quality was really good, the editing was nicely done, and how can you resist a story about Canadians eating Chinese street meat!?? It was a really cool taste of Dalian nightlife~ Ignore our vegetarian dissenter, hehehe.
Anyway, yeah, I’m a friend of Justin’s from St. John’s- so it’s cool that you’ve hooked up with him, and are getting this video blogging to work so well. Keep ‘em comin,’!

actually, it should be pronounced as Chuan-er[串儿], because people from northern China tend to use “er” at the end of a word for all sorts of reasons， which is hard to explain.
BTW, Love your video clip, 77 bucks for a meal for 4 is quite cheap.
I normally eat 30 bucks by my own.
Well done, mate.
@Yantai… yeah, I know that when written it’s 串儿 to get that 东北话. But I refuse to write the pinyin as “chuan-er”, “chuan’r” or “chuan’er”… from a phonetical standpoint, it’s just wrong… and as pinyin is meant to add a Romanized phonetical component to Chinese … I just go with the much easier to understand “chuar” as i’ve never heard anyone say “chuaNer”
It looks like the video file no longer exists or your link to it is bad.
Hey Shaun, thanks for the heads up… not sure what happened there. I am slowly converting all these to the MOV or MP4 formats and making the YouTube version available… it’s just low on my priorities, perhaps I got halfway through doing this and … well… anyway… thanks for letting me know.
It’s working now BTW.
It is still way too weird to see you eat meat, you were a vegetarian for how long??
