Hey there, thanks for this info! Did you need to have a trip booked into China to get the visa, or can you simply apply for future travel (not yet booked)?

@ekmarriedlife don't know why it won't post last.message , just book hotel in shenzhen that can be cancelled after you have visa

@@ekmarriedlife oh.and take a copy of.your hong kong visa , latest one if you have they will want too see it

Hello 😊

Hey Jared, looks like you've been making your way through some of our humble videos haha. It's a difficult topic as I'm sure you know. When it comes to the media and foreign-policy in general, there's always going to be a "lens" that one group or another will want you to see things through. I think the only way is for each person to simply travel more, see more, and experience more. The world is actually a very big place, with different philosophies in play; and there really isn't a "one-size-fits-all" or a "this is the one and only correct way to do things".

@@ekmarriedlife I feel bad for you. The west has fucked you forever.

Hi Jared, thanks for watching the video. Actually I was born and raised in the UK and moved to Hong Kong in my early 30s. I agree with you that there generally is a distorted view of the UK by Hong Kongers, perhaps by Asia in general. It's not like what they might see from glamourised television, i.e. Eton College or the Cotswolds. Imagine a Hong Konger's shock (one who has never been abroad) if they stood in a rough town in UK, getting shouted at and slandered by Chavs. But in any case, it's still an interesting discussion for myself and my wife who is born and raised in Hong Kong. There's a dynamic there where her husband (me) is a full-fledged British Citizen, which opens more doors to the idea of migration than it would for people who only hold a BNO. In any case, regardless of one's view point on this matter, my hope is for those who make the choice to migrate away from HK to have a successful transition and future. At the end of the day, moving your entire life abroad is *hard*.

@@ekmarriedlife anybody who moves to the UK has got to have something wrong with them in the first place. It’s a shit show of an island who’s politicians are controlled by Zionists and still think they can go around setting the whole world on fire with no repercussions in the name of empire. I bet they sent you over to Hong Kong to “free it” from those evil Chinese who’ve lived there for millennia.

Hey Jared, whatever it is that's going in your life, it's clearly not in a good or healthy place. All the best and I hope there will be brighter days in the near future for you.

Hi! Sorry for the late reply - Honestly it's been a while since we made this video so I can't remember exact details. But throughout the video I did put some text to indicate stations and area names - please take a look :)

Easy topic to get things started!

It might have just been coincidence where on that particular Saturday it was not busy. Who knows!

It depends if you're a Chinese national who has a China Return Home Permit. Typically Chinese nationals who have settled in Hong Kong or Macau can get this and will not need a visa. But foreigners, i.e. myself a British Citizen, will need a visa - and one of the types of available visas for Shenzhen is a 5-day Visa on Arrival that you can get at certain ports entering Shenzhen.

Thanks for watching!

Ah this is very useful to know. Back in 2017 I did have a 2 year visa to China for business travel purposes. I think this is something worthwhile for me to explore into.

You're absolutely right, I did feel safer in Shenzhen at night than I did when I lived in London for many years. The same can be said about Hong Kong, if I am out and about late at night I always feel at ease. Back in London I was attacked and robbed of my belongings by some thugs - a much worse situation than simple pickpocketing. The attack was direct and out in the open, they simply targeted me and took what they could before running off. I guess I can perhaps try to explain why I mentioned the pickpocketing since you feel skeptical. I was holding my camera out in the open when recording this video and if you notice in the part where there is red carpet on the road, one of the electric scooters drives by quite close to me. It is "off camera" but I noticed the man keep glancing at me and my phone, and it made me remember that I was in a place that I am unfamiliar with and if something bad were to happen I would be much more vulnerable than if I was in my home city. If I was making a video in any other country I would've still mentioned the same warnings and precautions for travelers - sometimes it is in the safest places where we let our guard down, and that is when a single moment of "wrong place wrong time" can happen. Please keep an open mind yourself as to why people have their viewpoints as these too will often be grounded in their own experiences. Your 5 cents are valuable, but I think we all have our own small pieces of valuable advice that we can share with each other.

Pickpocket times in China were long gone. There were many reasons for that, most of all, people are much well off, gone are the days of extreme dirt poor society. it does not justify the risk to be a criminal and easily be caught and face extreme punishment. Secondly, because Alipay and WeChat pay are so prevalent, I guess no one would carry a large sum of money in their pocket. No point in picking an empty pocket !

Thank you! :)
