Introduction

At the very beginning, we hope sharing our useful experiences, insights of living and studying abroad for Chinese people who is interested in real Australian cultures and daily life. On the other hand, it can spread Chinese traditional culture and present situation to people who is interested in China.

Part 1

 

 

 

Inside, I cooked Chinese wolfberry stewed mutton and The Stewed Pear with Rock Candy which is traditional tonic diet in China. Food therapy is a very important part of Yang Sheng. They combine the effect of medicines and the taste of foods. Apart from nourishing and strengthening our body, soup also whets our appetite, improves our skin and regulates our digestive system.

Knowledge Point:

1.The Stewed Pear with Rock Candy can moisten the lung, smooth to breathe heavily and relieve cough as the traditional herbal cuisine. And the other one is suitable Good for the winter months.

2.Chinese wolfberry is “very early health”, people will soak it in boiling water its bubble water, boil soup or porridge in daily life.

3.The mutton soup can promote the body’s blood circulation, strengthen the cold-resistance,making the body feel relax and comfortable.

At the end of video, Leya added some interesting trailers.

We have had good feedback from viewers. It is so exciting that I have gained little friendship from my DA. I feel grateful them sincerely-those helped me and encouraged my lovely person. For me, those were opportunities that came unexpectedly and which I was able to take advantage of.

 

Part 2

 

On a recent episode, we compared Chinese and Australian takeout. There are many WeChat groups like Wollongong ‘gourmet’ group and ‘help-each-other’group, by which we can order food and communicate with each other about almost everything.

In China, once online orders are placed, the platform sets a delivery deadline based on the distance between the restaurant and the user.And will show the location of the delivery driver, so an order can be tracked.Data analysis shows the average delivery time is 31 minutes. But in Australia, it always takes a long time to deliver. What’s more, most take away foods are fast food.It is not really accord with the dietary traditions of the Chinese people.

For most people, Chinese takeout means little white boxes packed full of sweet and sour pork and General Tso’s chicken. That not really Chinese…Therefore we chose the restaurant named ‘Yum Yu’, and ordered authentic northeastern cuisine—-Stewed chicken with mushroom and Fried Pork in Scoop.

Finally, we added an interview with the restaurateur.

At present, we pay more attention to domestic app—-WeiBo. And our DA to be there is a high rate of growth. ” Design Thinking is defined as: An iterative and collaborative process that takes an empathetic approach to problem solving that is particularly effective when the issue at hand requires solutions that are innovative yet practical. ” (Chesson D, 2018) We cooked different cuisines to interweave various Chinese cultures in DA. There were other great comments—some funny, but overall really encouraging to hear so many varied responses.

If you have any good ideas or suggestions, you are welcome to contact us at any time. We’ll work even harder.

  1. Hey, I like your DA concept as I am doing something similar. I feel you should change your font color on your blog as it camouflages with your background which is also grey. It just makes it a little difficult to read, nothing severe. I would suggest, if you could reach out to other platforms as you already are planning to use Instagram and perhaps you can try out Facebook as well. As you are also engaged in making vlogs, you can maybe cut scenes and add them on your Instagram story before uploading the vlog on Instagram, as by doing this you will create a hype among your audience who will be bound to view your vlog on Instagram or YouTube. This could in turn increase your viewership. Great start, will stay tuned for more.

  2. “The opportunities that came unexpectedly”. This line in your blog post is the one that resonates with me the most. It’s one thing to have a concept and attempt to execute it, but it’s another thing to shift your focus and direction of the concept based on the opportunities you are given. THIS is prototyping. And I find your experience with it to be quite exciting to read! The ability for you to engage with an international audience is an advantage that most of us doing BCM114 don’t have so use it wisely. I would suggest using both a mixture of videos that share the Chinese culture with Australians as well as videos that share Australian life with the Chinese population. This will broaden your target market and in theory will increase the growth of your digital artefact as well. I took a look at your channel and the aesthetics are great, the only thing other thing I would suggest is investing in a small external microphone. Some are only around $20 and will sound 30 times better than the internal camera mic. Keep up the good work!

  3. Found your DA very interesting as it is in a sense is like mine since we both use video and that you have gained friends through the viewers. I’m not sure if you stream but streaming would be a great benefit towards your type of content as it is trendy (used to be not sure now) but it shouldn’t be too hard as you could easily just use the content you do now and put it into a live setting, I also do suggest getting a usb mic like a blue yeti as it will increase audio quality which in turn could branch your content to asmr if you wanted to take that route (also trendy). But overall love your content seems to have a solid foundation and good luck for the future!

  4. I find this such an interesting concept. I really like your DA and find it highly unique. You have put together your video very well and were able to keep me entertained and informed through it’s duration. I can suggest utilising a variety of platforms at once such as Instagram and/or Facebook. By using more than one form of social media platform, you will be able to create a stronger awareness of your project and what you aim to achieve. I really do commend your efforts in the making of your video and best of luck for the future. Keep up the great work.
