If you were a BBC reporter, all those trees and plants would be grey rather than green!
That is the culture of Aglo-saxon, they like demonize others.
😂 you watched too many videos from Cobra 😂
Yes and the overcast sky would be described as pollution

the true freedom you can only experience in China , no need to worry about your safety , no drugs , no crimes , no gun shots , you can do whatever you feel pleased to do at anytime as long as you dont break the law . Even a young pretty girl can walk along in the park during night time , no harrass , no rapist , no homeless people , pure harmony .
You're telling my own story! 13+ years here, plus 5 years of commuting from Los Angeles 4 times a year. I live in Guangdong, Zhongshan City. It's a good life.
Wow, pretty much spot on with my views and thoughts. I am American expat in China now 14 years. China is now my home, for many of the reasons you brought up. From Zhuhai, Guangdong
Zhuhai is a lovely spot. Taken the kids to the aquarium there a couple times. Having belugas was a bit sad though.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in June. Have a good feel of the Dragon Boat Festival atmosphere in Guangzhou. Bro.
@@88jojo Hey friend, June we are on a road trip, Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, and Chongqing maybe out for the entire month. I do love watching the Dragon Boats, we will watch from what ever city we are in.
玩得开心❤，我最近在山区露营探灵，但我不担心失联，因为大山里也有信号📶基站。
From zhuhai too. It's really a lovely city and seafood here is so good!
You took the words right out of my mouth... Freedom you get from low crime is a human right in China.
Western media ain't gonna to be happy about this.

The whole length of this video showing all the outside areas I have not seen any trash on the floors. And everywhere is so green with all the trees.

@@CharlesShaw-dd4qg人家是赞叹不是找茬😂
You get on a cruise ship they check your passport and take your picture too. I often meet people from the US and Eastern Europe. They said that they don't like China because they don't want to get arrested just because they express their opinion. They are incredibly naive or misinformed. You don't get randomly arrested in China for saying the wrong thing and people don't have a tendency incite political divide. Chinese people know that harmony and stability are the key factors that keep the country solidified and moving forward. The Chinese people have enjoyed the fruit of good governance and freedom to live a safe and prosperous environment, it's only the West that's lying to its people to keep a sense of superiority in their mind.
说得太对了
The Western people cheat themselves for the sense of superiority. The Western governments lie because they are incapable of governing and they can't afford to let the heavily taxed people realize the reality.
The first time I watched someone talk about safety in China, I didn't really get it. I don't have the concept of safety because I am Chinese and live in a small town in Connecticut, USA. Later, I finally got the meaning of SAFETY after I visited San Fransisco.
The 1st time I heard a English talk about safety in Beijing was 2009, I thought it was weird and didn’t think more about it until I live in California, yes , some Chinese even think China is not safe enough because they have no idea what is like outside of China, also the social medias in China always says how better outside of China, how bad china is
@@weizhang2834The social media must be controlled by the China haters.
Wait till you visit NYC or LA.
Small town in USA is still very safe, but the metropolitan area is hell
If you are white, you are relatively safe everywhere in the US, but can’t be said for the minorities.
Ignore all these anti China haters....in actual fact they are all paid by the NED ...no need to be an apologist to all these anti China haters...keep it up ... jia you...
Exactly all the hate originates from the CIA, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the other
Yes, NED.

When you walk on the streets in China, they are very clean. I'm in New York, and the downtown area is quite dirty, with garbage everywhere and lots of homeless people on the streets. It seems like China does many things better than the U.S in many aspects.
@sweetburger8039 That's because a lot of the middle class has moved to the suburbs leaving NYC with a higher ratio of poor people who don't care about keeping the streets clean. Look at the mean income of NYC compared to its suburbs. Then notice how clean the suburbs are even though they probably don't have street cleaning.
An absolute freedom for each individual is not freedom, but anarchy. Freedom is only achievable if it is for the collective greater good but not focused on individuals.
A true statement of wisdom
Well said well done well put
You yell “freedom” to people with child-sized brains who don’t want to be restricted at all (forget all the laws in place in the West that already doesn’t allow for 100% freedom either) to get those gullible dumb ppl to vote for you. That’s how “democracy” works in the US. It’s just an adult version of a student body president in high school running on putting free soda machines in the hallways and making lunch 2 hrs long. Whoever is the slickest and most manipulative win. Look at Drump. Morons voting for another moron cuz he speaks their language.
Permission to quote your nice quote
I like your attitude. You're essentially in someone's house and you're not interested in trying to rearrange their furniture how you like it. Rather, you're respecting them by living according to their rules. And, like you said, if one doesn't like it, the door's always there. Many Western leaders insist that any country that doesn't adopt our style of "democracy" is authoritarian. Where in the fabric of the universe is it written that the only permissible way to govern a society is Western-style "democracy"? haha. keep up the great work
well said
Enjoyed this upbeat video and agree with all the points. Returning to UK after a year in China, it feels like a shabby uncomfortable world, although I'm lucky enough to live in a reasonably quiet place, but the news and politics is depressing.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I live out in the countryside when I’m back in the UK for visits, but when I went to downtown Newcastle, I did find it a bit grim. Shops boarded up, inflation through the roof, metros and escalators broken down and signs up warning of the dangers of stealing the metro’s cables. 😢
@@snide. “英雄不问出处，电缆不问来路”
“shabby” pronounce interesting haha
First time back in China after 24 years, china is very green even under the bridge. Trees grow 15 feet apart. Lots of flowers on the roadway 😊
What's makes you stay outside China for so long? You don't have family in China?
Welcome back! 多回来逛逛

Exactly
We are Canadian Chinese who lived in Canada for over 40 to 50 years We just moved to Canton recently to retire. The financial stress, safety, drugs issues and many other problems that people have to struggle or deal with are immediately vanished as we landed in China. I was almost fear of going out either worried about being attacked or robbed. One of my friend from there of course brought up the topic of " surveillance"... I love to have the cameras everywhere so that I know it is for our best interests. We live well here in China!!!!
我不认为是“监视”生活那些监控只是为了安全保障。没人会在意你是谁，监控也不是时时刻刻都在盯着你，只要你不偷不抢不对社会造成影响你就是好市民，不用担心
只有有犯罪或者需要其提供特定帮助的时候才会真正调用，其它时候，几乎没有人关注他们到底拍摄到了什么。没什么好担心的，只有好处，没坏处，当然对有违法意图的人，是一种震慑。
You have such a positive and kind mentality. Nice to have you here in China. Enjoy!
The irony of surveillance state is that it's about the same level of surveillance in USA. There are cameras everywhere but if you get in trouble or getting mugged in NYC, no cop will be around.
A large number of cameras means stable security. If you are robbed, the police can catch the criminal within an hour, relying on these cameras.
I wish when mainstream media make interviews for their China documentaries, they pick people who are actually qualified to make comments. People like yourself who have lived in the country for a long time, rather than those who have not even set foot in China....
No, it doesn‘t fit their job.
Yes. Someone who has lived in a country, learned the language, who understands the culture (at least as much as a newcomer can) is much better qualified to speak on a place.
Great video Snide... I can agree for 100%, after more then 16 years living in china. exactly how i feel and think about it. Was 2 years ago back in the Netherlands, kids sticking each other with knifes.. what the helll???
western kung fu! no holds barred.... none of the honour, none of the spirituality, none of the culture, no self control, all violence!!! MMA is the be all and end all of martial arts blah blah
Every country has its own problems. Recently, in China also happened kids killed kids, which caused concern and debate throughout the country, and the case is still open, let's see what will the judge decides .
@@xucg
In China, it happens once a few years, in the west, it happens on a daily basis, and sometimes on mass scale, no comparison.
@@xucg I think what you’re referring to is school bullying which in my opinion is a different topic. But yeah, something needs to be done in our education system to shift away from being so academic centric. That being sad, other countries such as Japan also have school bullying issues.
Every coin has two sides, including all and every Western moral concept; privacy is no exception. Besides protection for criminals like child molesters, privacy is also helping bosses manage workers. Think about it: if no one knows each other's salary, is this good for the workers? Or is it good for the bosses to manage the workers? If you are a boss, you promote privacy; you tell your workers to treasure their privacy, such as wages as secrets. However, if you are a worker, you don't know your fellow workers' salaries. How is that good for you? By keeping your wage a secret to your coworkers, you are helping the boss manage yourself and your coworkers for the boss's benefit. So, privacy is invented by capitalist intellectuals to help employers manage employees. Of course, there are also intellectuals who help the workers, such as Karl Marx, who invented communism. However, workers love their capitalism and employers, and workers also love privacy. Workers hate Marx, and workers hate communism even more.
I absolutely enjoyed watching your video all the way to the end. I must say you have done so well Snide as you speak your mind with a well balanced mindset.
12 years in China is long time as a foreigner & managed to blend into the society & on that you should be proud of yourself. Keep it up & I surely look forward to watching more videos from you.
Hey Snide, glad I found your channel. I am really fortunate to have lived in Shenzhen for about 7 years between 2008-16, those are some of the best years in my life. Before that, I have lived in Singapore for about 22 years since birth, 15 in Canada, 2 in the US, 7-8 months in HKG. Beside Canada, I cant really say I enjoy any of these places except Shenzhen but then Canada (Greater Toronto Area) is also started to get worse when I left in 2008.
In case anyone still wondering, just go to China and experience it yourself. No words are better than your own first hand experience.
GTA in Canada is bad now, not safe anymore.
i think the life of Shenzhen can't compare with Singapore yet
Congratulations on the video, it is really instructive, simple and practical about life in China. There is too much Chinophobia today and it is important to spread the word about how things really are. I lived in China a long time ago, they did not have the development they have today but the spirit is the same as you point out. Since I lived there I was able to realize the potential of that country and its wonderful people, I am glad that you are doing this selfless work of disseminating the true reality, I personally appreciate it. Congratulations from Chile! 🇨🇱
It’s my first time watching your video, everything is so well said. You made a real good decision to have your kids raised in a safe country.
What an excellent video, thanks hugely for all your positive facts of life, I am an old Chinese man leaving in London .
Glad you enjoyed it! How do you enjoy life in London? Hope you are well.
Me in the kitchen on Sunday listening to you "ramble". Enjoyed the video and what you had to say. The East is the future. You're in a good place.
Glad you came into YT feed and having lived in China for 15 years I readily agree with your observations on China! I love the country and return as often as I can. We in the West can learn SO MUCH from China instead of the US ramping up "Yellow Peril" demagoguery, starting trade wars and imposing sanctions on China! Great content and a new subscriber here!
GREAT VIDEO. I LOVE CHINA. HAVE ONE SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. NOW IM 71. WISH I COULD GO SEE CHINA. ENJOYING YOUR VIDEO FROM FLORIDA.
One of the reason why I watch foreigner in China is the food, and they look delicious because they are so affordable. Here in the west. when you see good food, first thing in your mind is Ï can't afford that". Chian vlogers on food industry and the beautiful scenery is just a good escape for us who lives from pay check to pay check. and that damn Trudue is making it worst for most of us here.
You left out a very important fact about real Chinese food - they are generally very healthy, aside from being affordable!!! Anytime I watch channels about "western" food, it's mostly deep fried, dripping in oil, oozing out fat, and screaming of cholesterol.
Go and visit China to see China with your 2 eyes and you will realized how much you have been lied by your media and government telling Americans not to visit China because it is dangerous, dirty, you are followed and monitored everywhere you go.
@@DubboU That's quite the stereotype. You realize there is Western food that isn't deep fried right and plenty of it. All Chinese people I think western food is burgers and pizza lol.
You are from Canada?
I have been living in Guangzhou, China for nearly 24 years and I am still having such a good time. Yes, there are problems and flaws here, but on the whole, it's a great and safe place to live. I can't remember how many times I have told people; "If you're not happy here, just leave." No malice etc....., just go and find somewhere you can find your happiness.
My brother in law is a bus driver and he lives on what we call a council estate. Three bedroomed flat in a building less than 6 years old, a private secured compound with schools nearby (the football pitches are immaculate), the shopping centres are good and the restaurants are really good. No litter. No matresses, no burned out bins and none of all that other rubbish.
I sometimes get stopped by the police and I get asked to show my passport. A copy of it on my phone is fine nowadays.
You mention the Canton Fair, are you based in Guanghou?
那你中文应该讲得很标准了吧，老哥😂
Because China will expel illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants will commit crimes😂
Regular Snide is cool, but suit Snide is a whole new level. Loving the thread's Snide.
Appreciate it mate
Beautiful China! Thank you for sharing.
I stuck it out for the whole video.
Thanks for waxing lyrical about your thoughts and ideas about living in Southern China over the years.
It’s all food for thought.
Cheers mate.
😅
The camera are there for security purposes, I am thankful 🤗 they are there for the security of my family and friends and general public. Let's not have the impression we are under surveillance, no one is interested to scrutinize good people like us. The people behind the camera will check the footage only when necessary. What is there to be afraid of if we are good people who has nothing to hide ??
Awesome video 👌 Thanks for taking the time and giving us what's it like to live in china. You've completely change my views about china. I would definitely visit china after watching this video. Thank you again 🙏 God bless you and your family my dear
Sir, you are a righteous man, thank you for speaking up for justice
Nice video man. I totally get you and the mentality you have. When you travel the world you get the real perspectives. It's very easy for people to have negative opinions from behind a screen and keyboard.
Or even worse, from Western "News" programs.
thank you. I think it’s very easy to consume too much news in one sitting and be convinced that things are awful. It’s all about having a critical eye and thinking about the media’s purpose behind their news.
When what you can display in public can't be called private, those that can't be exposed in public are private. Your face is not private, likewise your ID is not private, only criminals are afraid to show who they are.
I'm really impressed with the quality of your video. The sound, the image quality, and the digital video stabilisation are nuts.
Hi Mr Snide - the more that I learn about China through people living there the easier it is for me to suggest these sites to people who are stuck in their attitudes. I think I'd like to visit China but until then I'm pleased to have you and the others - some Chinese and some non Chinese - to show me this amazing country and it's people. The West needs a counterbalance in the East and for that I'm glad.
I am an older Canadian man but have had 4 visits to southwest China (Hainan to Shanghai) in recent years. I will return in December this year. My only regret, that I did not go earlier in my life. I probably would have stayed to live there. Good wishes.
The reason location is now checked and displayed for online comments is because of the amount of negative and fake stuff coming from internet army of tw or us.
Great video Snides, thanks for sharing. a refreshing change from the usual press about China. We never get to see this sort of thing really and it looks like a great clean, safe place to live. Happy for you man! And here's to hoping for that Nike SB contract 😂 can you imagine!!
Glad you enjoyed it, even if I did ramble on and go off topic! China is a lovely place to live, and I’ve barely scratched the surface with this video. Think I’ll share some more cool stuff that’s going on here. Day to day stuff.
It's so amazing to see the local people are working hard to promote their traditions and the uniqueness.
No matter what, Chinese people are non-stoply, are trying hard to make their living environment better and better. We shouldn't ignore the efforts which Chinese people are making.
Welcome more foreign friends to come to visit China! You will see China is not a threat or a dangerous country as what your government is trying to tell you. 💖 Peace! 🤗
Hello from the USA! I watched the whole video, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It was insightful and you made good points about the varying viewpoints of living in China when it comes to perceptions about freedom. I’m glad you and your family are having a wonderful time over there and I love that your boys have such a dynamic group of teachers at the international school. I’m a first year teacher this year and I’m teaching first grade.
Always cool seeing what type of tech China has and yes please do a video of the food and restaurants in China
Fair play to you Snide. You are one of the only people I follow who I can listen talk about most things and do different styles of video. Would love to see you do more about your life in China alongside the market vids etc. I don’t necessarily agree with everything you say in this video but that doesn’t matter to me, I’ve watched your stuff for a while and I respect you. I can tell you are a good dude and it will be a privilege to learn about China through your eyes.
Appreciate that mate. I knew you wouldn’t, but we don’t all need to agree on everything to crack on. I agree with a lot you say on your pod, it’s why I’m subscribed. I’m of the mentality that you can pick and choose different political views - I feel like western democracy is used to divide people and put people into tribes pitted against one another. Seems people aren’t really allowed their own opinion anymore and have to go with their leader or choice. I can appreciate both systems at the end of the day. Home is where you make it.
Appreciate you watching - there’ll be more random stuff like this.
@@snide. I really want to see you do more stuff like this, you are an intelligent lad who can provide a unique perspective on Chinese life and relate your experiences to a life in familiar with. I am absolutely locked in for that. It doesn’t matter to me that I 100% agree with somebody, it matters that I respect them and that they act in good faith. I’ve watched enough of your stuff to know that’s who you are.
Dude I am absolutely fascinated by your life and the things you are into. For me, I’ve worked super hard recently so last night I went on an odyssey catching up on your stuff, it relaxes me. Never underestimate the power of that in 2024 sir. Not much does given what I cover in my work so I’m genuinely grateful for your content. I wish you and your family nowt but the best brother. I respect you, you respect me and nothing can divide us. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your insights and seeing the sights.
Great video Snide, would love to see more like this especially a video on the different foods in China. 3200 sqf apartment for $840/month is incredible and great looking cars!
I need you to do all my number conversions! 😆 thanks for watching and commenting, appreciate it. Lots more random content to come I think!
@@snide. you got it mate!
Your entire walk during your video is very peaceful
Keep on walking and thinking then sharing with your viewers.
Yeah it’s a nice format, even if people don’t watch…it’s therapeutic. Nothing like a walk in the park by yourself.
I watched all your video good stuff keep them coming you have a great outlook on life agree with you100% uk is so broken .
I enjoyed watching this guy.I stayed until the end.If I was younger I would definitely go and see China.
You should hear about what happens in the UK these days.
Illegal boat immigrants being put up in hotels, fully heated with warm meals while British nationals go hungry and cold. A DPD delivery man was butchered in broad daylight while doing his job. Body parts found in public parks. It's grim here man.
Does feel like it’s on a downward spiral. When I do go back to the UK, it’s to the countryside exclusively. No interest in being in a UK city any more. Hope things aren’t too bad where you are
@@snide. Yeah, everyone's been feeling it, even the high and mighty middle class lol. Hence why labour have a real chance at winning the upcoming general election.
For years homeless have been freezing on the streets, people having to use food banks and being made homeless because the government are not building enough affordable homes. For a while, kids were also mass raiding department stores like they do in the US. I say sticking to the countryside is a good idea!
I understand your concerns. Just a reminder though. Much of refugee immigration on Europe stems from US military invasions in Iraq, Libya & Syria. The resulting death, destruction & despair has forced many people to seek a better life after their countries were attacked. Remember also that the UK, as always, backed the Yankees like being their sheepdogs.
@@briancousins3101 Most aren't refugees but economic migrants. True refugees would be glad to settle in the first safe country they come across. But a lot of these military aged men pay thousands to smuggle over here "for a better life" at the British taxpayers expense.
Just because we have a sh*try fake democracy where the government screws us over constantly, doesn't mean we deserve it. Nothing will change the rising anti-immigrant sentiment here
Most illegal immigrants in Europe come from African, Indian, and Middle Eastern countries
A picture paints a thousand words. You are just topping the cake with some sweetener. China as an Asian country is always very welcoming and warm… those chose to have a negative view of China please stay in your tent city!
Why is China trying to destroy the US?
Nobody in China is looking at your chats and surveilling you, but data will be looked at if there's a reason for them to look: if say you commit a crime or threaten someone.
yes, but this happens in every country. I mean look at the scale of data generated every day regarding the population size, it’s impossible to store all that data permanently 😂
True, 99.99% of CCTV are only for recording, not realtime monitoring. The amount of data is simply too large to be processed by human eyeballs.

I travelled to China with a cheap group tour with my whole family ten years ago.
Since then all of us are definitely relatively hardened against the constant negative China news in the west.

Hey Snide, this is the first time I've watched your videos. I agree with your points having been to China on many occasions over the last few decades. Honestly, each time I visit, it amazes me how much China continues to improve. I admire their efforts to want to be better in all aspects. Really enjoyed the video as I went on an afternoon walk in Melbourne 😊
This is really a great video! Thank you!
I stuck it out from the beginning to the end. Great Vlog. Thank you for sharing.

Greetings from London, UK. Really enjoyed your video and fascinating to hear about your experiences within China. I don’t read anything in the media as you get such a one sided opinion. Yours however shows a really great insight into the country that some revere and others are scared of. I’m here to learn more about China, so I’m here with you through subscribing to your channel. Looking forward to seeing your contents in he future. Xi xi.
Great video Snide keep it going! ❤👏🏽
100% with you on security issues
China’s safety is not only about extremely low criminal activity but also about resolute intolerance towards drugs and arbitrary gender changes.
you can actually change gender if you want, you just need to be checked in hospital to get a certification that proves you really have done the surgery before you go to police bureau to alter your gender on ID. But teaching kids about reckoning their genders is a fking big NO in China ofc.
it’s because it’s ethnically homogeneous and has had thousands of years to reach it
@@idirhhrin8876 UK is also homogeneous for many centuries. but it's been devolving into it's current state now. Look at London and so many other cities, some smaller towns are like so sad and depressed, the people are like stuck in the 70s and 80s.
It's weird to call China a Developing country and the UK a developed country.

Per capita, there are more surveillance cameras in America than in China, so there's that
Interesting indeed. How are they helping do you think?
so as London , where the 1st city with cameras in the world
@@snide. With that many surveillance cameras, the US has managed to have the world's largest prison population, amounting to a full 1% of its total population, in addition to out-of-control crime, never ending mass shootings, so I guess all those surveillance cameras worked really well
@snide. he's not telling the whole story. The vast majority of the cameras in the US are not controlled by the government/police. They are owned by businesses or homeowners. For instance doorbell cameras are pretty ubiquitous and so are cameras in stores. Outside in the streets they are almost nonexistent except for intersections with lots of car accidents.
@@snide.问道点子上了，有跟没有一样😂😂
thank you for telling people the trueth ,we know that in western society the majority news on china are negative ,as a chinese we do feel grateful
Like your geniune unbiased video, i wish i can live in china also, but i am going back to my hometown this november. Keep doing tour great stuff, u have got a new fan!
Living and working in China for 17 years was an amazing experience. To be part of the incredible transformation of China since 2004 makes me humble and grateful. The shock came for my after my return to Germany, now a f*#ked up country.

@@snide. I'm orginally from New Zealand and Live in Australia, but also had opportunity to live Thailand for awhile, Now im in my mid 40's feels like a life time ago now but was the best time of my life learned so much. A few years ago for my 40th I went to Japan for month and travelled around I loved it especially from safety & politeness of people and everthing was orderly. I watch a few walking/driving youtubers from China and I am always amazed at the infrastructure and cleanliness even in rural towns. I always find myslef asking why can't Aust & NZ be like that in rural areas and the infreastructure in general. Who knows before I exit this life maybe I wil get to experience living in china or japan.

It’s one thing to share my ideal reaction to adversity, but another altogether to actually employ this mindset at all times. I wish I could say I’m always calm and collected, but that would be a lie. We can only try our best, and the next day, do better.
Well said ❤
Thanks for this video. Interesting to learn many positive things about China.
I have lived & worked in many countries & also traveled for holidays. It’s very important for foreigners to do research about a place before they get there, in particular the culture, social norms, do’s & don’ts. For example taking off your shoes before u enter someone’s home or entering a mosque. The left hand is considered the dirty in many Muslim countries. When eating don’t use your left hand. Knowing th culture & social norms helps a foreigner to be accepted by the host nation & helps the foreigners settle into the host country.
I worked & lived in New York City (Manhattan) for 2 years. One time , in the sub-way train a lady had a few bags of Xmas shopping. When the train stopped at a station, 2 young guys grabbed the shopping bags from the lady & jumped of the train. It was really daylight robbery. NYC is not the safest place to be & one has to be on-guard all the time.
To be safe, always check the environment when in a foreign country & be aware who is watching you. Be prepared to run for safety or be prepared to fight.
Never been to China. And here I am doing DIY repair in the bathroom watching your video to the end.
And I was waiting for what sneaker u were wearing for this long walk
Good stuff, glad I could help pass the time. I rocked the Salehe Bembury crocs actually! Very comfortable
5：05 Sir， I agree with your idea. It is necessary to learn some local languages while living in a country. I hope more Western tourists can realize this and no longer complain too much about Chinese people not understanding English.
i watched the whole video, enjoyed and just subscribed it. I like your positive attitude in your life. Yes so much negativities and sh*t about China here in Canada too where i'm currently living. Thanks for portraying a different angles about China. You just got a new admirer and hello from Kelowna, BC Canada.
China's safety is crucial for families with children, and your choice is right!!
Long time no see. I used to watch some of your videos to find out good batches for rep sneakers and now I'm suddenly here, watching your video on living in China, when I all those years ago really wondered what the hell you were even doing there. Now, I am the one who recently picked up studying Mandarin and am foreseeing a future of living in China. You knew it all along!
Greta to have you here! The sneaker stuff is still happening, but I’m moving it over to a separate channel bit by bit.
How are the Chinese studies going?
Wow bird chirping in background in city area. I supposed the ecosystem is marvelous.
I really 💕 LOVE YOUR VLOG, The honesty in your delivery... thanks 🙏👍
13:08 That's what I thought.I don't want someone in the crowd suddenly pull out a knife🫣
I understand. I do carry a pocket knife and have many to choose from, but when I travel to China I feel good we don’t carry one.
@@santin4reel I do carry a tiny one(blade≈ 3cm) for opening packages etc. And it's allowed to go through the subway security in China.
Loved this snide!
Thank you for the mindset part especially haha guess good for me to stick to the end. It also makes me reflect on how I drown myself into those negative emotions instead of thinking it from a better way. Definitely thumbs up for that and the video as well
Amazing insight of china , keep up the good work
In China, the emphasis is on harmony and the community over the self. This is due to the influence of Confucianism, Taoism, etc. The same is true all over East Asia. Indeed, it can't be said that there is no such thing as 100% individual freedom but if the community is screwed, how can you have any individual freedom. There is complete individual freedom only when everything is in harmony, and you can take care of yourself. It is not such an abstract concept...
