    I literally just left Shanghai after a 12 days China tour. China is so clean, so big! And the people are so polite and friendly. The Bund, you see it on CZcams, on pictures, but nothing like seeing with your own eyes. It is like....staring into the future.

      Joe Biden is envious of Dictator Xi ( as called by JB) for doing such an excellent job to provide Chinese people and foreigners who live in Shanghai. He laments that US cities are full of homeless people, drug addicts and gun shooters, dirty streets and violence infested cities that the American people are afraid to walk in the streets at night., Compared to Chinese cities where people dance and stroll at night in the park is a contrast to behold. But he is too busy making wars around the world whereas Dictator Xi makes Chinese people happy and peaceful. .

    Hi Flora and Note Welcome back to China. Welcome to your 1ST Day in Shanghai. I had to laugh out loud when Note said it’s so cold and laughed again when Flora said she had 5 layers on because I just checked the weather for today, shows 60 degrees and sunny. That is definitely T-shirt and shorts for me. That street looks amazing and park too. I am so happy that you both joined in and went dancing in the park. Scallion pancake looks yummy. I could tell that Note really enjoyed the thin pork chop after taking his 1ST bite from his reaction. I laughed with Flora when she dropped the bun. Pork yum, crab must be delicious. Absolutely love seeing all the buildings lit up at night. So Sad when Flora said your going somewhere else, ONLY 1 Video in Shanghai. Absolutely Loved Every Second // Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish

People look friendly, food looks awesome, climate is my kind of temp. Love the EVs we own a Tesla Y and we're big believers in the Ezv movement. Hope you guys stay warm . Seems you're struggling a bit with the change in temp from Thailand. Be well and make great memories.❤❤❤

      @@PeeJay3714 As a Chinese local, the word "robbed" seems like a word that was only mentioned 20 years ago. Especially in Beijing, this is even more incredible. If your niece seeks help from the police, she will definitely be taken seriously, because the police can quickly locate the robber through CCTV, and this kind of robbery case is easy to detect and has a generous reward for police.

Pick any of them and I'm sure you'll be incredibly satisfied. The diversity of landscape, culture, some language differences, and cuisine are a pleasant surprise. Enjoy your travels.

    I love your travels and adventures. I can't wait to see your travels in China. China is so misunderstood by the West. It's a hidden gem that nobody from the West wants to visit. Like Note, I can see myself living there too. I used to think it was an insult when I was told to "Go back to China!" Now I think it's a great suggestion. 😂

  • @ronbeaubien
    @ronbeaubien Před 4 měsíci +2

    I think I prefer Flora and Note's travel videos because they spend most of the time showing the sights and activities in the places they visit. So many other travel CZcamsrs focus so much on their hotel rooms, even when their room isn't particularly special at all. It just feels like a commercial for the property and isn't very interesting. Flora and Note are like: "We stayed here. It was clean, convenient, and a good price," and then show more important things.
