Such a great idea! My favorite place was Greece! I’ve only been to Copenhagen of the 5 and remember some of the streets you were on. I stayed with a friend for two weeks and told him I wanted to spend most of my time there like a local. We went to grocery stores and cooked almost every day, took walks around the city, and during one of those walks we passed a church and heard their gospel choir rehearsing inside. We went in to listen and the choir master asked my friend if I was a singer (I get this all the time everywhere I go). He said yes and the choir master asked if I would lead the rehearsal. I politely declined and he insisted, so here’s this American leading a gospel choir singing in Danish! I couldn’t understand what they were singing so it wound up being a lesson on choral vocal technique which is easy to demonstrate without words. By the end of it they offered me a job! So much fun! By the by, I want a Tshirt that says “Never, ever, ever”! 😊

I don't think we've necessarily been lied to about China. We know what they did to Hong Kong., we know what happened in Tiananmen Square, we know they've modernize. We know that we know that 40 years ago they rode bikes , I now know that they have automobiles, maybe even electric automobiles they've got a long way they're a long, long old old, ancient country, of course, but they have light and or indoctrinated their peoples. I'm happy you were able to go teach in China for two years, so so nice,

My boy study at ACM music and business, he ❤ it...

im doing LHR-PEK-BKK on monday with air china. hoping PEK is easy to transit through, i'm only there for 5 hrs before BKK leg

Awesome vid Ben , realy had no idea how life would be like in Shanghai .

Can you connect your headphones to the sound system on air China? Or is it a Jack?

whats wrong with taking picture of kids? why 'taking picture of kids' is equivalent to 'taking picture of a crying kid in a class by some teacher' which obviously means something particular? i really don't understand the sudden protective mindset coming out of nowhere, very strange, i guess, it's cultural differences. i don't know, like I said, i find it very odd unless some context that is not said. otherwise i really don't understand it.

It was fun to see your old stomping grounds! Qibao Ancient Town is beautiful, and the Former French concession is really cool. I'm loving these daily adventures. Thanks, Ben!

😂❤. Ben, I visited China .twice -first time .on. my own. In. April to. Beijing . That was. In the. year 1999. There. Was .then, still a lot of the OLD China. In the post Maoist. Lacuna, coexistimg simultaneously with the emerging NEW China of the Modern ni Age. I find this .period most meaningful. and most Unique ...the. Atmosphere. in Beijing.was electrifyiingm.....there is such a rich culture in the Ancient. Tradition... Beijing inb1999. was like A. Gatden estate. Its.houses were protected by high. walls. ...A big. door. leads. to. the Courtyard with. Flowering. Scented trees of sweet. Chestnuts. and. Corps of trees found only. In. CHINA. OUTSIDE , Zhang Er Ling's. house is .... Trees

Transportation is awesome, e-bike, taxi, metro, high speed railway... modern infrastructure!

Welcome back Ben!

Hi Ben, thanx for again a wonderful, crowded😮😂😂😂 Video of Shanghai 😂 have fun🎉

Yeah, chicken feet aren't that great, to be honest! I once had them in a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo. But we only ordered them because the menu was all in Japanese, with a small photo of each dish alongside. We thought they looked like spare ribs in the photo...how wrong we were! 😆

just curious, have you sought out fish and chip restaurant in shanghai? if so how do u think of them compare to uk's?

The Wukang building looks to be a copy of the Flatiron building in New York City...

7:39 士林 饒河 寧夏 逢甲 六合 樂華 花園 These are all names of some night markets in Taiwan. Is that a joint for Taiwanese night market foods?

No harm comes to photos of children . China government makes sure of it!

What are the wages like there?

Great vid Ben 👍 I can't wait to visit in January. Keep posting its all really good stuff, very positive. We need this sort of content.

Good afternoon, Ben ! If you look for people, Shanghai is number-one city where there are crowds nearly everywhere. I like it ! There is a sense of inner connection ! Watch the traffics and be safe ! Great film !

The Wukang building 武康大樓 supposed to be "photogenic".

❤🎉

Fantastic, gorgeous! My next life will definitely have me visit here!

When I saw so many coffee shops on the street, I checked GOOGLE and it was surprising! ! Shanghai already has 8,530 cafes, ranking first in the world in terms of number, far exceeding cities such as New York, London, and Tokyo. Specifically, Shanghai has an average of 3.45 cafes per 10,000 people and an average of 1.35 cafes per square kilometer.😅

Agree with you Ben, lots of ancient towns, it can get boring. LOve you contents.

43:14…even if you are not adventurous with food…there are some Shanghai food where most foreigners would like…for examples: xiao long bao, braised pork belly, jian bing, steam buns, and Roujiamo

I love you,BUT .. Please switch the word old to older. Or even senior. Old has such a bad connotation. If you ever come to the park in the mornings or afternoons, you will see older people… I don’t think on that much older than you but old enough to feel old when you say the word old

Thanks for another interesting video. I knew about the foreign concessions in China but didn’t know what they looked like or that so much evidence of them still existed. The ancient town looked beautiful. Are they actually a very old areas or were they purpose built to look like what people expect to see in an old Chinese city?

That statue was Zhou En Lai, according to my Chinese wife. We visited a place wherehis father lived in a preserved 'old town', Qingyang, near Guiyang, back in 2019.

8:07…really? Out of all the food you can eat in shanghai you come to a basically an equivalent 7 eleven convenience store to get food? Shame on you Ben

Hi Ben, Thanks for another great clip 🎉🎉🎉 Siri from Dover kent uk xx

Enjoy your contents.. can't wait for the next one

Hey Lucky! Thanks for another awesome video. Also, thanks for going into the market. It was very interesting. I think it's fun to go back to see where you lived. I truly appreciate you taking us along!

Wow. So lovely. I will add that to my list of places to visit. Thank you.

Thank you Ben, you have truly opened my eyes about China. I would like to experience what you have shown us. Keep up the great work

👍

❤❤love the video

because that building was the background of a very popular TV series

Nice to see you back visiting China Ben 👍 The French Concession is awesome.

apologize if my question is stupid. why on earth is England not safe? i was in Sheffield 20 years ago. the place was nice and good... not been to many place but i remembered most places were peaceful and good. people were friendly. is security really an issue now?

Thanks again for the great job you did

Love your video thanks

I live in the cess pit that is the UK. There are many places in the world I want to visit and China is one of them. The cities seem so clean, safe, friendly, organised and value for money. Compare this to the UK and it is certainly a revelation.

Love the videos, love Chinese food, can’t wait to try some new dishes! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😎🍦

90年代开始中国人从小观看西方的电视剧和电影，所以对西方人会有亲近感，来中国的西方人都会受到中国人的尊重和欢迎，但西方媒体却一直在视中国为威胁，试图抹黑造谣中国，这对于中国人来说感到很难过

😊 thank you for this special video. I think that chinese people are different, like you said, but they are different in a crazy way. But it is also fascinating how opposite things could be there. One thing about taking fotos of children , that is unacceptable. I am working with kids. And we are only allowed to take fotos for dokumentation, if the parents give their written consent.
