#abandoned #china - Zábava
At 3:26 before entering the front door the guard said to them, do not smoke inside, now a day you shouldn't smoke....
12:15 the guard said, are you two study in Shanghai? Here used to be crowded with people.
14:49 he ask if you wanted to look inside the room, there's no more so call "room". 15:52 ok, ok to go?
15:57 guard said, you guys may go down to film or explore yourselves and pointing the way to downstairs.
16:17 he ask there's a bigger place if you guys interesting to see? 23:28 guard ask are you guys done, is about
time to leave..if you see the end of the hallway? you may go check it out. 26:52 getting dark..you guys should go now..
28:08 thank you, good.
oh he seemed so sweet! what a great guy!
They were pretty lucky to even be allowed to go in
This should be a pinned comment.
Thank you for the translation. Seemed like a nice guy. Darn shame they didn’t have anyone who spoke Chinese or the guard speaking a little English.
这口音都听的来, 强
In the big hall with the fish tank (the wedding venue), the guard is saying “this place used to have lots of, lots of different guests.” My guess is that this guard started his work here way back, when the hotel was still very popular and had a lot of guests. He seems to be very proud of the hotel back in the day, that’s why he’s willing to show you around the place. And he definitely misses the old days.
Thank you!
Damn. Reminds you that these abandoned places gave people memories.
Wow. That would be surreal if he worked there when it was intact. If he did, watching it decay must be again, quite surreal..
That is wholesome.
Some tanks are for live food. Some Chinese restaurants in the US have lots of these tanks and they pull the fish out of the tanks and cook them - in China I'm sure they serve fish still alive.. SOURCE ? The amazing race !
That had to be the friendliest, happiest "security" dog ever. How sweet.
yes she is.
@Voracious Reader so cute and funny! And so true! It is so cute when they are like that! :)
Also one of the fattest Labs I've ever seen. I doubt she's ever had to chase anyone down.
That guard top marks we need more guards like him still doing his job but also being understanding and knowing your good intentions just to explore and document
Hope he got a tip or a beer
The guy was probably bored just sitting there in the shack so it probably gave him something to do too
@@stevenvanheel3932 true true but very unlikely as he would have been responsible if they has got hurt even if he didn't know they were there. There's a case going on in my town were a group of kids got hurt running through a corn field and so because it's there property there liable even tho it was three am and they were about 5 miles away. Laws be crazy sometimes
@@expertgodking9226 Health and Safety isn't really as much of a concern in China as it is in most other places.
He seems kind of proud of the place in a way.
The dog was the best part. He was so happy to be exploring with you guys.
Yeayy.. Seem like he does 😍😍
That dog has probably not seen many people other than that old guard and an occational person at the gate, it would bark at. ;)
10/10 good doggo
He deserved a wad of yuan's for his hospitality.
I'm sure they would have sorted something
Not only that but he got criticized here. "Gee this isn't natural exploration" while he shows them around. Where's the gratitude? It comes across so smarmy here. This guy was so nice to do them a huge favor, putting his job at risk, even showing them around. This attitude, exactly why many foreigners resent Americans.
He was so accommodating and kind to them! I was really impressed. Anyone to say otherwise are really quite rude.
@@RealArtfulDodger i mean tbf it was impossible to understand what he was saying, would've been nice if they translated more of what he said tho so they actually could understand him tho
@@JasonHorkles Yes translation would've been nice, but I think the gist of it was understood by his actions. They treated him like an inconvenience. They come across like snotty entitled millennial dudes here. I guess I am "triggered" because I see this so often with this age group. I do subscribe to this channel but things like this, makes me question it.
15:30 The guard is saying: "the part down there, you guys go look on your own." What a cool guy.
I can't understand everything he says due to a regional dialect, but basically he's being hospitable.
3:25 "Don't fall and injure yourselves." (or something along those lines)
11:40 (can't understand him)
12:15 "You guys are (can't understand- he's asking something about you both)? This place is (can't understand)."
15:30 "The part down there, you guys go look on your own."
15:50 "Go this way to get down there"
16:05 "In the next part, there's another ____. A big one. Do you need it?"
23:20 "Is that good enough? Good enough. Did you guys look over there yet?"
26:50 "Ok, that's enough"
-bad translation by a Chinese-American
Gives me a rough idea, much appreciated
@@Duckh3rd Thank you!
In my trips to China I've found that security and cops there are really cool and laid back, very hospitable. I'm a cop in the US and it seems Chinese people support their law enforcement a lot more, whereas here in the US we are constantly under threat of ambush and assassination so we're more hypervigilant and distrustful.
@@Duckh3rd pretty nice .Thank you . I got good vibes from the guard and His dog
That guy is freaking awesome... what a dude! Shame there had to be the language barrier... I'm sure his days are pretty boring, day after day after day... doing nothing, seeing nothing... He really improved my overall outlook and faith in humans a bit... at least 0.007% .... truly amazing.
Agreed. Someone might think that this job is a breeze, free money with almost no real work, but anyone that has had a job like that will tell you that it is prefereable to have a meaningful job, where you actually do something, and the days go by a lot faster if you have something to do.
We forget that it’s the government that’s the problem. The people just do what they’re told, or.............
I know you guys wanted natural exploration but you're so lucky you even got in. He was so nice and generous showing you around when honestly he could potentially lose his job letting you guys in.
The room he showed you is a purpose built wedding venue. The fish tank, the stage, Chinese wedding feasts. The big room with the fish tank.
Looks like a cool place
Too bad they didn't have someone with them who could speak Chinese. Maybe they could have struck up an interesting conversation with the guard, since he did seem interested in showing them around. They should try to do this more often when they visit non-English speaking countries.
Are you saying there was a fish tank? I didn't quite catch that.
@@9.5.9.5 around 12:55. That whole back wall is a fish tank. All Chinese weddings I’ve been to have this feature.
@@genericallynamed1 I mean aren´t there apps for this ?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you two really liked that place. Those rooms were probably sealed due to mold danger.
Sorry, but China does not come across to me as being a country that is very big on the whole health and safety issue, so i dont think this is something they thought about here ..
Yeah my school has had to close the top floor of a building due to a black mould growth in the roof
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz that's what I was thinking, so if they sealed it up it's probably deadly in minutes
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz In the US, mold or black mold, isnt alway sealed, as most buildings become abandon and not worth the cost. This is why they put signs , no tresspassing, like this guard for example, his duty was to keep people away. In some cases, they would want you to sign a "waiver" or to pay entry fee with that wavior, of sorts, as they can't guarantee your life.
and with the guard, no vandalizing. No graffiti all over the place.
That guard must be so bored. Imagine standing there for years on end and probably almost no one ever comes by.
@Mo Chow Even then, it's China internet
dont think so,he got the huge hotel all for himself with 2 dogs
theres gym,swimming pool,karaoke with big ASS amplifier...and plenty of room for accommodation
@Mo Chow I bet it was a welcome break from the monotony of babysitting an abandoned hotel that is rotting away.
I also wonder how much money it would realistically have taken to keep atleast the shell of the hotel intact over the 15-20 years it was abandoned.
If they had patched holes in the roof and replaced broken glass, i bet that hotel would have been in a lot better shape today, than it was.
It does not take a big hole in the roof for water to get in, and make it worse and worse.
If they have money for a 24/7 guard service, i would, imagine $5000 a year to keep the place patched up would be possible.
@Mo Chow If kids dont want to spend money, they could sell it or even give it away, which would still be cheaper than keeping it until it has rottet away and worthless and even having to pay for the guard.
It seems to me that what these owners have done is the least profitable thing they could have done.
I dont know if there is such a thing as property tax, but if there is, they are also paying for the land, even though they have zero income from the land.
You guys have the coolest theme song. I never get tired of hearing it.
It's on their sound cloud as a full song, they are really talented
It’s amazing
I love it too
The german currency chart still shows "DM" instead auf Euros. So the hotel was probably closed before 2001.
So therefore the hotel operated for even a LESSER amount of years.
@@airaero5473 Yeah... And it's just scary too see that waste of resources.
Well spotted.
Not to mention the Dutch Guilders and French Francs
@@bbmikej Well it still would have been eventually replaced with the euro
It looks like he wanted you to see as much as possible before the end of his shift. Nice guy.
You should have slipped him some cash. He could have sent you away but he went the extra mile for you guys.
I was thinking the same. I would have slipped him a US$50. Maybe they did off camera.
im pretty sure they did off-cam
They could have offered him some other..."service" aswell, we'll never know
@@SwedishEmpire1700 don't
@@SwedishEmpire1700 HAHA my type of humor. Some organic services haha.
That guard was awesome. He was super proud of the hotel and was kind enough to show you around. He deserves a lot of gratitude.
The password is: Shanghai
It was nice of that guard to let you guys in even though he didn’t let you explore too much alone. And the dogs were much friendlier at this place 😄 Very grand buildings. I loved that it was all natural decay and nothing man made like graffiti.
Natural decay but gosh, this place took a beating with just that.
@@julosx Maybe a small earthquake happened or something too.
"Shanghai" whilst slipping him some cash off camera 🤣
That dog was so happy to hang out, best day ever.
Can we give a thumbs up for the security guard, what a pleasure to have him allow you guys to at least take a look and see what’s left..
I hope you tipped the guards extremely well.
right ! the first thing i do when I go into bar is to tip the bartender 20 bucks (or more depending on the bar glass of wine 30 dollars - then tip $ 100).. trust me ! If you can't tip $100 on your first drink you shouldn't be there. :):)
in some cultures it is extremely rude to tip. When i was in japan and india they got mad i offered money after they showed me around.
@@Hookedon240 cause sometime its like you make them / compare them as to be a "servant", cause servant get tip and that kinda low caste
@@Hookedon240 better be asking "is it ok to give you some money for this?", asking permission is common in asian culture
@@helldronez i held up a question mark with the money in Japan. One guy laughed and signaled no. The girl at a abandoned hospital gave me a look and walked away. She had been witj me for 6 hours (security). I tried lol
That was amazing. The language barrier created an atmosphere of suspense but also it was cool to see the tension being overcome over what was evidently a underlying humane shared sense of how freakin COOL it is to explore time capsules that are entire resorts. Wonder if you could have gotten more from the tour if you had an interpreter with you, but that would have undercut some of the drama and humanity--the risk taking.
The song that you hear in the background 17:28 is actually the street washer trucks here in China, they have like a “It’s a small world” theme that seems to be used although out China
The security is awesome he just comes up like "ya'll wanna see something cool?" and just gives you a tour of the abandoned building.
Maybe urbex in China there's security everywhere but on the other hand there's really a lot less of this idiotic vandalism that's more or less common in the west. This security guard didn't act like a dick and gave you the opportunity to have a nice look around, maybe even show you things you would otherwise have overlooked. And his dog showed that this was just a good man. It was a little bit of a 'too much loved' dog to be honest (as it was really a bit on the 'big boned' side ;) ).
In the Netherlands they demolish buildings in weeks. Barely any abandoned buildings around lmao. We always gotta travel to Belgium or Germany.
@@MrPatriickzz Living in the Netherlands myself ;). There's a heavy populated country with not too much room left. So when there's space created we'll be starting to build on it. We don't have the 'luxury' to leave something just be.
@@henkdouma8448 not if they have immigration of 100k.
Only chinese in china
Yeah i'm surprised too at the friendliness of the guards
I'm so glad he let you guys in. You are honestly so respectful to every place you go
When you travel to a country where the language isn't familiar I STRONGLY suggest to bring in a translation device that translates whatever you say as you speak. It's such an easy way to communicate with foreigners and I assume it would help you guys A LOT in your explorations. Plus this guy was pure sweet and I would've loved it for both sides to converse and understand each other!
that guard was so cool to let you in and have things he wanted you to see. i really wish i knew what he was saying.
check the comments again, there's translation with timestamps
@@piippiz ah super, just what i was waiting for, thank you
This place still looks better decorated and cleaner than my room.
Yep, same here.
Mine too. he he he he he.
Lmao
Definitely better than some hoarder shows.
I have to commend that security guard for his hospitality. Sure, it would have been nice to roam around and explore on your own but at least he's keeping the vandals out and looking after the place. Plus he probably wanted something to do!
That guard could get his ass kicked for letting you in, yet he did it anyway. What a legend.
Props to the security guard for letting you in. I hope he didn't get in any trouble afterwards.
I'm honestly so happy I found your channel. You've made 2020 somewhat better.
I found his channel last 5 months and I'm so happy that I found it!!
i found this channel about 5 years ago and i’ve watched every video and they only get better each time
What's your favorite episode?
I think mine is the abandoned nuclear power-plant in NY.
These guys are great.
@@jtparker4978 That's the best one. They won't ever top it haha. Real OG's saw that episode uploaded for the first time. That was the fastest 50 mins of my life.
Great to see how friendly the guard is. Most people, given politeness and respect, are decent people doing decent jobs. Despite the culture barrier you managed to reach out and share a common interest in looking at the buildings. Great job!
"The tank is half full".... An optimist, I like it 😁
A flat tire is still full of air
You guys were in desperate need of some little cards with basic phrases like "Do we need to leave?" or "Can we have a look around?" and probably "Is there a problem?". Would have solved all your trouble very quickly, without fiddling with your phone. Nice video, as always!
that Chinese guys is actually cool. At 16:15 he was not waving them to leave, instead he was telling them that there's another building not far away to explore and if they want they can go without him. Haha nice video!
The guard probably thinks you're affiliated with possible investors....
Yup, Mark, Prospective Investors into Ghetto Disney Aesthetics
They should have at least slip a $20 on that guy.
@@michellefernandez3155Off camera, i bet they tipped the guy.
More likely he handed him some cash the second time he asked for permission but didn't want to mention it in the video.
I was thinking the same thing. He was eager to show them the big dining hall and trying to tell them about it, I wonder if any Chinese speaking fans will catch what he's saying.
The speakers are not 'Ass' but A.S.S. (Acoustic Sound Systems) built by master speaker cabinet maker Tony Rossell in the UK who built for many of the big boys in the P.A. business but also sold under his own A.S.S. brand name. The are superbly constructed, as are all of Tony's cabinets) and use premium drivers. One of his users was the late John Entwistle, bassist of the Who, who owned 2 custom A.S.S. bass systems, one in the US and the other in the UK. Pity you couldn't have got your hands on them!
That security guard was so chill to let you in and show you about, all concidering .
Your actually pretty lucky that he showed you parts that was a must see befor it got dark .
His dog was pretty cute too.
Amazing to see how natural decay and plants just slowly demolish what man made when it's empty. Also so nice to see no graffiti... hate that.
This is so sad to see. Can only imagine how beautiful this place looked in its prime
And it looks that bad after only 14 years of being abandoned
Bethesda devs should really know your chanel, it could be a very inspirational material for them to make detailed levels for a future Fallout game!
YES YES YES it would be interesting if we had a fallout from a foreign country
Nice of the guard to let you in once he realised you were just curious tourists. Buy that man a beer/coffee/sandwich. You guys are probably the most interesting thing he's seen at work for a long time.
I am always amazed at how things in the east seem to be left fully furnished - like this, the Royal Hotel on Hachijio, the theme parks....... In the west, the place would for sure have been cleared of the furniture and furnishings, sold off to recoup some of the losses. It's nice to see things left as they were. Those chandeliers look expensive. I agree with the people saying that the room he showed you was a wedding venue - dancefloor, grand centrepiece fishtank, stage. It's definitely set up for big events rather than ordinary breakfast service.
Thanks for another awesome video guys - been binging your stuff during quarantine, makes time fly!
The chairs in that room had those ribbons which is a wedding prop
He thought they were Art Students studying in Shanghai
wow that security guard was great he seemed so proud of this place he wanted to show you the best bits and you got to see them without always looking over your shoulder and having to worry about being caught
I guess Ran didn’t make the trip? It’s funny how the guard keeps talking, even know you don’t speak Chinese.
It’s natural to do so even when they cannot understand you otherwise it would be awkward silence 😅
Ya, but that sorta thing happens all the time regardless of which language is not being understood.
He did ask if they studied in Shanghai
I rediscovered this channel when quarantine began and I got laid off from my dream job. I binge watched basically from the beginning, as well as watching the vlog channel. You guys really helped me get through some tough times this year! Your videos are always top notch quality, with some amazing cinematic shots and thoughtful audio throughout. I look forward to supporting this channel for a long time to come!!
You need to bring along a translator with you so you can get any history the guard might know. He might even have things to show if you ask the right questions.
The lighting, overgrowth, and the sheer essence of this beauty is magnificent. Amazing as always gentlemen. Thank you for continually bringing us the good stuff. Explore on 🤘
the guard was being so nice and actually asking if you guys wanted to see the other rooms. If only yall had an interpreter.
That was very nice of that man to allow you in there and to accompany you around a little bit. I bet he was happy to see someone caring and kind such as you two gentlemen. That place is an amazing treasure of decay. Love your videos. Thanks for doing this. I used to do the same kind of exploration when I was much younger and now I can live vicariously through you guys.
I was kind of worried about the dog walking around in all the glass
yeah i worried about her too. she was cute! in the end it looks like she was all right.
24:58 Those were gyro rides, you get in and it spins you in multiple directions. They were popular in US malls in the late 80's and early 90's.
Otherwise known as Vomit Comets!
The guard probably figured this would be the most interesting day at work ever. I can't imagine guarding an abandoned resort is very fun.
I have to agree with them. It is amazing how one area is in almost perfect condition but 5 feet away is decay and a rather large plant growing in every which way. The weaving of the decay and splendor is beautiful.
Originally thought the ASS audio speakers were some Chinese brand. Turns out it was UK-based.
they are really good speaker cabs too!
@@tekvax01 So I guess they don't sound like total ASS then,right?
@@chazzcoolidge2654 HA! Yeah... I see what you did there! :P
Funneh!
Hey guys. In new york there is a group of about 20 abandoned resorts called the "Bortch belt" there are also some untouched ones that not many people know about. Lmk if you want the location ☺️
I think they should explore that place yeah?
They already made videos there. Just go back 4 months ago they were in the Nevel resort.... Also be sure to look at their previous years of amazing videos.
@@drscopeify I'm talking about untouched/unvandalised places very little ppl know about
This reads like you’re trying to kidnap people
This is how r/nosleep stories begin
That "ice cream" truck playing small world at ~17:20 is likely a street cleaner car, and more specifically, one that sprays water on streets to keep dust down. Playing music just so that pedestrians don't inadvertently get hosed down.
Your dedication to showing us this amazing place is very much appreciated. Thank you for travelling so far for such a short video. It was great!
Wow what a beautiful space! And such a nice security guard! I’m sure the security guard was happy to see you film the space so it won’t be forgotten. That dog was so sweet too! 10/10 doggo
I'm guessing that was a modest house plant originally that went wild in the atrium area.
Most houseplants (in the right conditions) will explode with growth if left unkept.
This is the perfect thing to watch during the pandemic thank you I was dying of boredom
You can do my homework 📚 needs to get done by Monday
And that is why I sub to them because without them idk what I would do stuck in my house 😑
@UCNrttPu39GcequszUnxAKJQ well that went dark quick o-o
Yeah youtube keeps showing me videos of the proper people that I haven't seen before!
that security guard was so chill and cute, i loved him
Security guard was so sweet. it seems like he wanted to show you guys the stuff he finds beautiful that he found making his rounds.
The hall he showed you was a Chinese style wedding hall, with a "喜" on the stage. After opening the door, he seemed to ask if you two were a students (he might have thought you were studying in China), and then he said there used to be many people here.
Where's Ran (otherwise known as the proper peoples Chinese diplomatic corps.) when you need her.
I’ve been following her on Instagram and Reddit. I love her urbex style
This is honestly one of the most incredible places you guys have shown us in terms of quality of the place being practically untouched in it was abandoned and it's being taken over by nature. Reminds me of that seaside hotel in Japan.
Also that security guard was incredibly chill. He probably just didn't want you to get lost in that massive complex lol
I wonder what he could tell us if he could speak English? I would love to get the real story behind the abandonment....
That would be awesome!
does anyone had translations on what the guard was saying? were their interpretations correct? i'm just really curous
We probably will soon. It's a new video.
He's asking if they want to go downstairs there's a bigger room there. They didnt understand and thought he wanted them to leave.
One of the top comments is a translation script now :)
check the comments again, there's translation with timestamps
The more balance the more i really feel the emotion in these places. You guys are doing so well and you present these places in such beauty... well done! :D
WOW!!! It was incredibly gracious of that guard to let you tour the property. I love your videos and appreciate you taking us on your adventures. Please don't take this the wrong way when I ask you to not disrespect someone's generosity by "sneaking back " to the other building, etc. He could get terminated for allowing you access in the first place. Be grateful you have the privilege to get to travel and explore. Many blessings and safe travels to you and again.....thank you.
The gaurd was so nice, he really just enjoyed showing you around. From what I understood, he remembers when the place was full of guests, maybe he started working in the resort then. From the little Mandarin I understand, he asked you if your were studying in Shanghai. He was really just a kind man.
At around the 15:30 point, the security guard was actually telling you to go downstairs and take a look around yourself.
Awsome! always look forward to a new vid.
As i understand it closed on 05?
Was thinking that's alot of decay for 15 years... spectacular camera work.
You both are always so respectful! A+ in my book.
Ok!! As a hospitality worker this was next level!!! The fact that everything is set up in that dining hall blew me away!! The chafing dishes lined up ready for service was just amazing. And I loved that he took you to the second building because it was the ‘Lux’ building because he knew you’d appreciate it! I have to say this is my favourite video!! Nice work guys!!!
Oh PS the dog was funny! My hooman likes you so I like you!! 😂
If you curious what the guard is saying:
3:26 "Don't smoke inside. Young people shouldn't smoke these days."
12:16 The Guard asked, "Are you two studying in the same school in Shanghai?" Probably mistaken you two as university students went to Shanghai.
12:20 "Don't touch anything" (I saw another comment saying he said, "There was many people here", but I don't think he said that. It's a bit indistinguishable.)
14:46 He asked, "Do you want to see the decayed rooms?" and followed up with "No more other rooms." Probably means this is the only room not sealed up/presentable.
15:31 He didn't wave you off, but instead he said "You can help yourself with the front building" and he was guesting toward that other building.
15:51 "Go down here"
16:07 He probably wondering why you are not going by your own to the other place, so he tried to explain, "There is another very big building, do you want to go?"
16:40 "Do you want to go in there?"
16:49 "(watch out!) this way, this way" I think he is trying to show where the steps were under the vegetation.
(17:00) You can hear a water spraying truck in a background. They spray water on the road trying to reduce dust from car/truck tires. The music is used to warn pedestrians not get wet.
17:37 "Go up here"
17:41 "Do come out later, follow the original path!" He is under the impression you understood what he said at 16:07.
23:24 "Are you done yet?" "Are you ready to go back?"
23:33 "Almost (time to go)" Yeah he wants you to leave, probably since its getting dark.
23:38 "You haven't been there yet?" "Ok, go take check out there."
24:24 "Go down there" "Go down here, less stuff to see (up) there. Almost* " *(I think he meant its almost time so hurry up)
(He then called the dog to follow)
25:57 "What's in there? Oh that thing" (he probably just read the text)
(27:00 A comment here: He probably wants to go cook dinner/go back to his post at the gate, so trying to show you last bit of interesting parts and rush you out the door.)
28:04 "Sure" (A common response to Thank you in Chinese)
What a kind guard. Really sad that he didn't understand English, and you didn't speak Chinese much. I'm sure he'd be a lovely guy to chat about the place with.
I love that the guard went from "no, go away" to "hey, let me show you cool shit." He gets you're not there to smash.
As Carly Simon once crooned, "Nobody does it better..." ! You guys rock. As a world traveler myself, if people have a need to, are willing to, have the patience and desire, language doesn't have to be a barrier. Of course having something of a working knowledge of other languages helps. I'm glad you guys are still at it these many years. I've watched you improve tremendously and anxiously await your installments. That security guard did his job, but showed his heart and understanding of your mission! The dog w!s the guard's guardian and companion more than an attack guard dog. He sensed you guys were not dangerous. This one was from your precovid archives! Smart! Thanks!
i love these videos for doing painting studies, especially when they have so much green and plantlife that start to creep into the building. i really appreciate the still shots you guys sometimes do! and the lighting is always pretty great
Hi Brian & Michael! 1st as I have seen so many abandoned places that have CHRISTmas decorations that its pretty clear the endorsement the yr marks the end of these places & a clear slate for a new yr. The guard seemed really nice & seemed to want to make sure u both were safe & that dog was adorable. 🏚😲😯😊
Anyone else try to imagine how these places were when it was running with people etc? Or is that just me?
Amazing content as always! Thanks for the beautiful upload!
With all the amenities that this place offered, one wonders how they were losing money. Was very generous of the guard to allow you on the property, even if he did keep a close eye on you. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
best guest, BAD location
I love how you keep focusing on the puppy lol
Every place beyond a certain size always has a piano in it. Sometimes a nice piano.
I LOVE y’all’s videos! They are exciting and relaxing at the same time! Keep up the good work!
That guard was amazing and super generous to let you partly explore the place! Untouched by vandalism, this is an urban explorers dream. Such an unusual sight. I really enjoyed this unique perspective. Despite not being able to explore it all I really enjoyed this. Massive thanks to the guard!
＠16:30, he said below has a big building, you can go visit yourself! He did not hurry you two off.
It was nice that the Security Guard let you guys explore but if something happened to you while on the property exploring he would be held liable.Worked as a Security Guard for over 10 years. Cool Video.
Absolutely incredible, this place must have been something in its day.
As always, great work sharing it with us. Awesome filming angles, spectacular editing. Always a pleasure to watch your Channel. You guys are a great inspiration for all of us smaller channels, keep up the great work and stay safe out there
Reminds me of the Bayer UK HQ, now empty, with the overflowing interior gardens and the large glass atrium. Great vid guys. Thank you.
You bros should just have google translate on ALL the time. It can translate conversations in real-time.
This 100% ^
Pretty sure there is an app that does this without having to press the mic button. Im sure it can say it out loud too.
We tried it, all Google services are blocked in China so we had to use a VPN and it was just too slow to load for real time translation like that. And what we did get to load just seemed like unintelligible gibberish, probably misheard or didn't hear a lot of the words.
@@TheProperPeople I just tried it on my phone, also gibberish, strange. Great vid again and again, Always impressed. Thank you for your content.
I wonder how much it would cost to hire a traslator? I'm sure internet over there is highly restricted so a lot of online translator services wouldn't work anyway.
That is the most reasonable and helpful security guard on the planet.
Easily my favorite CZcams channel... Thanks for what you guys do... Really enjoy it
You guys have been posting absolutely amazing places recently. This is definitely one of my favorite videos. Such a unique place. I hope you give that guy some cash he really did you guys a favor showing you around and letting you see it.
It always amazes me how quickly nature takes hold, the place looks like its been deserted for decades.
7:54 -- Is that a fax machine on that side table by the flower vase?
Great video though...you guys still captured something really good even if it wasn't traditional self-explore thing. For 2006, this place is still is decent shape. The guard also didn't shoo you guys too aggressively, which is good. He was actually welcoming at times, around 16:04 telling you guys that there is another large building off in the distance that you guys could go see (which he eventually took you guys to).
What a beautiful place! That was a kind man for letting you in and showing you some of the rooms. I'm glad you got to do some big international travels before the pandemic and have been enjoying catching up on your videos
Michael your voiceover sounds so good in the beginning. I love it when you're like, "Now, we're venturing inside to see what's left."
