Hi Winston. Currently in Shenzhen from Australia. Thankyou for another awesome video. One of the best things I did was to buy a daily 24h subway pass (25 Yuan) (several in one go, it activates on first use). Allows so much flexibility. My trip initially was just Beijing and HK until I stumbled across your videos. The whole trip was a spontaneous affair (had leave booked already and a cheap airfare came up to Beijing). Must admit I was stressed coming by myself but your videos have helped me. Had trouble on first couple of days in Shenzhen. No one could tell me where to get the airport shuttle bus line 2 to Luohu (several exit show pictures of a bus some mention shuttle bus). I then tried green and red taxi and they both refused (had chinese address written down). I'd read something about the expansion of the MTR and thought surely I could get out via MTR. A lovely customer service officer helped me get the right train. Called hotel from MTR asking which exit but they didn't have booking. Another awesome bright as a button, full of personality MTR customer service lady, fluent in english helped me (I'd gotten off at huangbeiling instead of huaqiang North). By the way I think I fell in love. I asked her if I could recommend her to her boss and she said maybe I could come back and visit her. I was so stressed that it didn't sink in until the train was leaving and she was waving enthusiastically through the window. I didn't get her photo or her name but I'm determined to find her (update: I now have her photo as when I went back there was a photo display of the customer service officers, how lucky). Got to the hotel and they realised I'd written down the huaqiangbei address instead of the Luohu branch of their hotel. The arranged a taxi and 20 min later at hotel (4.5 Hours after landing). Headache, a bit car sick from taxi, dehydrated I then threw up in the toilet. On the up and up now. Sorry for the long story.
That "chinese Burger" is a invention of a Turkish dude in Berlin, the so called "Döner" ~25 years ago. Very Popular in Germany, Netherlands and Austria
Just want to thank to for opening my eyes into what china is like, went to beijing for a few days on the way to Sydney two years ago and it felt very surreal and depressing (although I enjoyed it), unfortunately this made me think the whole of China was the same. Looking at Shenzhen has helped me see a more lenient side to China. Thanks
殷乾昊 it is much more western than I had imagined. There are more personal freedom's with respect to business and the people seem more friendly than I imagined.
Actually this vid made one good point, that if you're in SZ and feel bored, go to Dongmen then. the amount of clothes and electronics there could easily supply the full size of England no doubt. LOL.
Somehow I've been living in China for one year now, making videos 1x/week, and still haven't managed to go to Dongmen. I really need to come visit Dongmen and perhaps make a video there. Thanks for showing it to me, Winston, I've been thinking of going to check it out.
I like the new format of your video, much better video quality since your not turning your camera forward and back or moving it around. But still kept the selfie part at the end. keep up the good work !
I import many items for Shenzhen, Mostly cellphone accessories and parts, Very true somethings are cheap, But I have also found many good products that my customers love. One example is that most generic iPhone batteries are just as good if not better then the batteries the Apple ships it's Phones with.
Very interesting video. I've always wanted to see what Shenzhen is really like. It looks like a fun place to walk around and pick up a few things along the way. Thanks.
Dongmen is worth a look if you like people watching or want to pick up some knickknacks to bring home. I have found most things not unique to China are exported to and less expensive in the USA. If you don't like crowded places and lots of shopping/ like a big mall, then you will probably hate Dongmen
wow the maze mall has not changed since the last time i came back to shenzhen which was over 10 years ago..but maybe more tatty shops..i clearly remembered alot of ladies offering massage services on each escalator level
Everytime I have been to Hong Kong in the past, there were these ladies waiting for foreign customers newly arrived in mainland... I am not sure if it is still the case though. Last time I went to Hong Kong was more than two years ago and I didn't noticed any of these ladies.
Just visited Dongmen this week, it was somewhat chaotic but awesome! We were in a maze-like shopping centre and there were these two little girls playing around and as soon as they saw me and my friend (both white as ghosts with blond hair), they started yelling "外国人,爸爸!!!" on top their lungs and started crying :D
Interesting, Is it always that busy? Looks like a flea market, only on a grander scale. When is the next Conquering Southern China coming? Keep 'em coming. Love the scenery in China, I find it amazing that so much beautiful country to explore and can't wait to see more. Plus wondering about Dumplings crash.
ugah... such a horrible crush of people in dirty stores selling knocked off junk... Don't think I could handle that, having lived in rural areas most of my life, I'd say that's the embodiment of hell.
doing a great job fading in and out with the camera. I don't think I would do ok in China, I'm not a loud mouthed jerk to people just not part of the politically correct crowd. Thanks again Winston
Some corrections/add-ons of the vid: 1. It is NOT so-called "cheap" shops selling "cheap" and "fake" products, not by a long shot. If non-cheap and non-fake products to you mean exclusively Armani, Prada and RL Polo alikes, then perhaps 99% of the entire planet earth are selling "cheap"and "fake" products including most of shops in the US and UK. A considerable amount of things sold in DongMen actually have pricings (after bargaining) more or less comparable to the TOP Shop chain of the UK - one of the most recognisable brands for the young in the UK high streets. So, is the UK or Oxford Street where the Topshop HQed also selling "cheap" and "fake" products thus? The fact is that they are not cheap at all (e.g. 25RMB non-brabded T-shirt, about $4, is not cheap even in world's standard for any non-Armani, non-HugoBoss/ RL Polo T-shirt). They are just non-(biggie name)branded products. 2. Dongmen=LaoJie. It started >25years ago as CHEAP area for temporarary small shops in the middle of a construction site. When it rained, Laojie looked like after-earthquack disaster zone. 90% customers of Dongmen were the 20+ immigrant workers - probably similar to today. Back then it was usually cheap, e.g. 10 RMB 2-piece suit - yes, weable suit and not bad either. The rent there, however, were never cheap, e.g. any temporary tiny shop space (there were 1,000s of it) the size of 3mX4m costed about 10,000 RMB rent at a time - that's USD 1,000 - yes, price of 25 years ago. Was that cheap? That price tag could get you a month-rent of a even bigger shop space in the centre of Paris! 3. Laojie's so-called "cheap" electronics come from Huajiangbei - the world's largest electronics retail/wholesale site, which btw also supplies the majority of world's consumer wholesale market, AND most of world's defence contractor market as well - many of its " cheap" products being "the stable food" for defence sectors of even Russia, some of them even making their way right thru to the Pantagon-US military contractors... dunno why they are called "cheap". Guess only the likes such as Hugo Boss or Armani - enabled computer electronics are not considered cheap nowadays? So-called "cheap" is an urban myth! 4. the Dongmen McD was the 1st McD in China mainland, and its BBQ-styled Fried Squid Stew is argueablely the "grand daddy" of all fried squid stews you can find in China today. Yes, the legendary fried squid stews started from right there in some temporary stands in Dongmen about 25 years ago, before being quickly spreaded to Canton, Beijing, Shanghai and the rest of all China.
You didn't mention the fantastic dirt cheap £1 (10 RMB) massages in Shenzhen . I hired five people to massage me for an hour! For a measly £5! I had one person on each limb and one dedicated to massaging my head... for an entire hour. Lol
+Zac Johnson Why I jizzed right on their faces ofcourse! Only kidding. You can find some delightful pretty young ladies for about 20 USD a pop. You can also find some not so delightful ladies. I'll write a book one day on my many adventures
In Chinese you very often refer the direction/district of a city with the word 门/gate, but it does not mean that it was the precise location of the ancient city gate or anything. U this every where. People in many cities use 门/gate to refer to that side of the city.
Wow look at the crowds, No thank you I'm nervous in crowds, now I know why there's not that many foreigners. I thought my city was crowded it is thanks to all our foreigners.
江康 After Deng Xiaoping visited Singapore in 1978, he decided that the Singaporean model of making use of capitalism was the way to go, to lift China out of utter poverty. Shenzhen was the first city (at that time a village of about 30,000 people) to be developed. In the years that followed, China sent tens of thousands of their civil servants to Singapore to find out (learn) how Singapore did it. So, I think it would be fair to say that Shenzhen is like Singapore. In his southern tour, Deng told the Chinese "Open up! Learn from the world, and especially, from Singapore. And do better than them!" LOL! It's interesting that while Shenzhen was chosen as a test bed for capitalism with Chinese characteristics because of its proximity to Hong Kong, it looks nothing like Hong Kong. With lots of greenery and high rise buildings, it does look far more like Singapore. Lacking historical sites like other parts of China, Shenzhen created its own attractions like Windows of the World, Splendid China, Minghua in SeaWorld, etc...etc...the very same things which a young country like Singapore also did. LOL!
I'd go to "lao jie" and i discovered that place it's so cool place and i think you forgotten to take a look of a place where there's a lot of video games and many stuff like that it was so cool
i lived in china before for 2 years. ill be going back to visit in about a month for about 2 weeks and will visit shenzhen...any other places besides dongmen?
Let's NEVER photograph children. Let's NEVER photograph the elderly. Do we all hear how we have been socially engineered? Get a grip, people. Show the world, warts and all. So relax, BE YOURSELF. Who has time to think about every possible mistake we may make. That's the spice of life. I'm all about, life' too short. Peace.
This 'falafel-like thing' (2:54) is actually Greek-style 'gyros' (pron. /'giros/): sliced meat with various condiments and a yogurt-based sauce all in a special wrap called 'pita' (/'pita/). How do I know? I'm Greek! ;-)
I was contemplating not doing you the dignity of answering but I will not stand idly by while you spread hate. Why can you not just let countries be? My comment was by no means an attempt at nationalist sentiment and, if I am wrong in what I said, I will wholeheartedly admit to it after personal research. You started a hate war and are trying to unbury the hatchet on such a contentious subject as the relationship between Turkey and Greece for no good reason. Peace, brother. We are all fellow human beings after all, our one and only country being Mother Earth :-)
Whatever suits you, partner. No time to engage in meaningless conversation with trolls or fanatics online. I tried to end this peacefully, you didn;t want to, fine with me. IF you want to let your religion, nationality and whichever other social construction rule you and divide you from the rest of us earthlings, your choice and your right. I respect it. Have a nice day!
No thank you for fake goods. There is an universal saying in both Chinese and Western, "You pay for what you get." Jewelry made in China was known for excessive Cadmium, which is "poisonous" if kids put them in the mouth. Also, knocked off electronic gadgets could cause fire or other problems which probably costed a lot more potentially than saving a few dollars. Some of my friends living in the Mainland are so wary of the food, they would keep a close watch on the butcher just so that they wouldn't switch their cuts of meats with something else. No wonder they will have 'day-travelers' going to Hong Kong to get all of sundries, medicines and baby formulas at least 4 times a day and selling them back at the black markets at Shenzhen.
Dayum.. that rou jia mo at 2:47 looks awfully tasty. At 8:27 I noticed something on the left hand side of the screen that I've never seen in any of Winston's videos before: a chubby Chinese girl.
Hey serpentza,didnt you know that, it is not chinese hamburger, it is "Turkish Doner Kebab"2:46 . And its traditional turkish food. not chinese or smthing.
You got photo bombed a few times Winston. Can never find my way round that place I just keep gong till I find a subway station. Food, Clothing and nice looking women this is definitely the place to go.
I have been in many of these types of malls and the first thing that came to my mind was God help you if there was a fire or some other disaster, There are no direct routes out. Exits not marked. Made me very uncomfortable being in them..
I like your work and I agree with all you say and do, but I have noticed that just as in the west, every entity build plots to fit the top 80 and then replicate. everything you have shown here is 99.999% the same as in Guangzhou, as in Chengdu, as in Shenzhen, as in China and as of lately Arlington Texas USA,(Hong Kong Market)(V-Land) and as in BKK.
i heard that visa laws have changed for shenzhen and Macaoand other places on the peninsula to make it easier for tourists. can you confirm this as ill be there in a few months
Asia is filled with Starbucks, but I rarely see them having any customers. How on earth are they still here... Drug dealing? Human trafficking? Spies for the CIA? Must be something because they sure aren't making money from selling coffee or food.
lol, 00:50 the t-shirt of the guy in the left :D four 20 :D 420 :D anyways, nice video, always glad to hear about stuff to do in china shenzhen especially, besides work. ! more public videos :D
Love your day-to-day video documentary! ! You are the first person recording the life in China ! !
I watched this video a couple of months ago, and I'm now spending the night here! Thanks for the info.

popular in bulgaria too actually
That has been done in Turkey long before that, and other places.
and Switzerland as well ;)
i also live in guangdong. i am awesome. very good. very cool. see my everything. i do everything too. find asian girls. self marketing.
Come again. Now in English pls.
***** dong is 东 in Chinese, it means east.it's not English.
+laowhy86 ahahah
What makes you think he's white? It's ironic that you're as racist as the people you're condemning.
Awesome video as usual. Particularly useful for me I plan to visit hong Kong soon and probably drop by shenzhen as well.
It's easy to see why people would like such a place. It's full of life and good energy.
Thank you for the tour. Great info, fun watching the people around you. This is "THE REAL CHINA". Thanxs.
Awesome! This is very help full the next time I’m there my wife and I now know wear to go shopping thanks for another great video
Great video, Thanks again! :)
Great vid mate. Your back on it!
Winston, Another Great Video and A Pleasure To Watch And Learn From!!!
Nice, thx for sharing again.
Just want to thank to for opening my eyes into what china is like, went to beijing for a few days on the way to Sydney two years ago and it felt very surreal and depressing (although I enjoyed it), unfortunately this made me think the whole of China was the same. Looking at Shenzhen has helped me see a more lenient side to China. Thanks
I am learning a lot about China through your vids. Thanks.
what do you learn??
Check my vids as well ;-)
殷乾昊 it is much more western than I had imagined. There are more personal freedom's with respect to business and the people seem more friendly than I imagined.
i think you are right!!
Actually this vid made one good point, that if you're in SZ and feel bored, go to Dongmen then. the amount of clothes and electronics there could easily supply the full size of England no doubt. LOL.
These crowds give me anxiety just by watching the video. It's really awesome to follow your adventures around china. Keep up the great work :)
4:52 She spoke Cantonese, "Come in and have a look".
I spent 5 days there in Shenzhen last March. It was a fantastic stay and it's a gadget fans dream!
can you speak chinese? id like to go but worry id struggle
bizzyfingers I actually have a friend who lives in Shenzhen so it was great to have him speak for me or translate for me during my stay.
+Ryan Darcy ah wonderful. I am planning on going in the next two years. Thank you for the reply and upload.
Somehow I've been living in China for one year now, making videos 1x/week, and still haven't managed to go to Dongmen. I really need to come visit Dongmen and perhaps make a video there. Thanks for showing it to me, Winston, I've been thinking of going to check it out.
Thanks mate. Amazing footage!
Brilliant! I love watching videos like this one!
I like the new format of your video, much better video quality since your not turning your camera forward and back or moving it around. But still kept the selfie part at the end. keep up the good work !
how is beautiful video thank u for sharing this with u
great pepole i love china and i do recpect ❤
0:50 Now there's a guy who knows how to party
I think over 80% of electronic stuff I buy via Ebay comes from Shenzhen.
Perhaps it comes from some of those shops I see here.
It feels like I'm walking through Dongmen and Winston is speaking to me telepathically
I see your program on and it's great thanks... greetings from bogota, Colombia
Great video! Please do more like this
I import many items for Shenzhen, Mostly cellphone accessories and parts, Very true somethings are cheap, But I have also found many good products that my customers love. One example is that most generic iPhone batteries are just as good if not better then the batteries the Apple ships it's Phones with.
I love your videos so much, I'm going to save up and visit Shenzhen once I saved up enough :)
Seems like a nice area, plan to visit Shenzhen next year and will probably go there then!
cool finally u making some vedios abt shenzheng!
LOL
Very interesting video. I've always wanted to see what Shenzhen is really like. It looks like a fun place to walk around and pick up a few things along the way. Thanks.
Dongmen is worth a look if you like people watching or want to pick up some knickknacks to bring home. I have found most things not unique to China are exported to and less expensive in the USA. If you don't like crowded places and lots of shopping/ like a big mall, then you will probably hate Dongmen
The local government should give you an award for promoting the city
hah
wow the maze mall has not changed since the last time i came back to shenzhen which was over 10 years ago..but maybe more tatty shops..i clearly remembered alot of ladies offering massage services on each escalator level
Everytime I have been to Hong Kong in the past, there were these ladies waiting for foreign customers newly arrived in mainland...
I am not sure if it is still the case though. Last time I went to Hong Kong was more than two years ago and I didn't noticed any of these ladies.
Winston, you are so cool. Has anyone ever told you that?
Wow, these videos are great. Thanks mate!
Just visited Dongmen this week, it was somewhat chaotic but awesome! We were in a maze-like shopping centre and there were these two little girls playing around and as soon as they saw me and my friend (both white as ghosts with blond hair), they started yelling "外国人,爸爸!!!" on top their lungs and started crying :D
Interesting, Is it always that busy? Looks like a flea market, only on a grander scale. When is the next Conquering Southern China coming? Keep 'em coming. Love the scenery in China, I find it amazing that so much beautiful country to explore and can't wait to see more. Plus wondering about Dumplings crash.
Serpentza is awesome!
ugah... such a horrible crush of people in dirty stores selling knocked off junk... Don't think I could handle that, having lived in rural areas most of my life, I'd say that's the embodiment of hell.
I like to remember when Serpentza do cool and good videos, and not trash how now days xD
doing a great job fading in and out with the camera. I don't think I would do ok in China, I'm not a loud mouthed jerk to people just not part of the politically correct crowd. Thanks again Winston
Good video I am learning a lot thanks! Stay awesome.
Thanks for showing us the city ...
Some corrections/add-ons of the vid:
1. It is NOT so-called "cheap" shops selling "cheap" and "fake" products, not by a long shot. If non-cheap and non-fake products to you mean exclusively Armani, Prada and RL Polo alikes, then perhaps 99% of the entire planet earth are selling "cheap"and "fake" products including most of shops in the US and UK. A considerable amount of things sold in DongMen actually have pricings (after bargaining) more or less comparable to the TOP Shop chain of the UK - one of the most recognisable brands for the young in the UK high streets. So, is the UK or Oxford Street where the Topshop HQed also selling "cheap" and "fake" products thus? The fact is that they are not cheap at all (e.g. 25RMB non-brabded T-shirt, about $4, is not cheap even in world's standard for any non-Armani, non-HugoBoss/ RL Polo T-shirt). They are just non-(biggie name)branded products.
2. Dongmen=LaoJie. It started >25years ago as CHEAP area for temporarary small shops in the middle of a construction site. When it rained, Laojie looked like after-earthquack disaster zone. 90% customers of Dongmen were the 20+ immigrant workers - probably similar to today. Back then it was usually cheap, e.g. 10 RMB 2-piece suit - yes, weable suit and not bad either. The rent there, however, were never cheap, e.g. any temporary tiny shop space (there were 1,000s of it) the size of 3mX4m costed about 10,000 RMB rent at a time - that's USD 1,000 - yes, price of 25 years ago. Was that cheap? That price tag could get you a month-rent of a even bigger shop space in the centre of Paris!
3. Laojie's so-called "cheap" electronics come from Huajiangbei - the world's largest electronics retail/wholesale site, which btw also supplies the majority of world's consumer wholesale market, AND most of world's defence contractor market as well - many of its " cheap" products being "the stable food" for defence sectors of even Russia, some of them even making their way right thru to the Pantagon-US military contractors... dunno why they are called "cheap". Guess only the likes such as Hugo Boss or Armani - enabled computer electronics are not considered cheap nowadays? So-called "cheap" is an urban myth!
4. the Dongmen McD was the 1st McD in China mainland, and its BBQ-styled Fried Squid Stew is argueablely the "grand daddy" of all fried squid stews you can find in China today. Yes, the legendary fried squid stews started from right there in some temporary stands in Dongmen about 25 years ago, before being quickly spreaded to Canton, Beijing, Shanghai and the rest of all China.
Its weird how similar that place is to some markets in Mexico City, which in turn are full of chinese imports
Thanks, am moving to Shenzhen after Chinese new year.
You didn't mention the fantastic dirt cheap £1 (10 RMB) massages in Shenzhen .
I hired five people to massage me for an hour! For a measly £5!
I had one person on each limb and one dedicated to massaging my head... for an entire hour. Lol
+farceadentus
and then what happened?
+farceadentus
You will have to learn how to WRITE first.
+Zac Johnson Why I jizzed right on their faces ofcourse! Only kidding.
You can find some delightful pretty young ladies for about 20 USD a pop.
You can also find some not so delightful ladies.
I'll write a book one day on my many adventures
WAIT a second! This *wasn't* overdubbed? His voice was recorded live!? Bloody hell that's one jolly good mic! :-)
***** You know you can easily start the transition between videos and keep the first video audio going?
Menko
its overdubbed i hear the echo of his voice because i have good logitech speakers, that means hes in a room
i must go shopping next month.fly to Dongmen.
Do you know why Dong Men...
East gate? There were no old city walls... so why east gate? (maybe to copy Beijing and look more "authentic"?)
***** Yes I never thought about this.
Though the village was really small... This place was one entrance?
In Chinese you very often refer the direction/district of a city with the word 门/gate, but it does not mean that it was the precise location of the ancient city gate or anything. U this every where. People in many cities use 门/gate to refer to that side of the city.
Wow look at the crowds, No thank you I'm nervous in crowds, now I know why there's not that many foreigners. I thought my city was crowded it is thanks to all our foreigners.
Well Shenzhen looks just like Singapore. or rather, Singapore just looks like Shenzhen. Maybe with different atmospheres.
江康 After Deng Xiaoping visited Singapore in 1978, he decided that the Singaporean model of making use of capitalism was the way to go, to lift China out of utter poverty. Shenzhen was the first city (at that time a village of about 30,000 people) to be developed.

Your voice was amplified in this video
You didn't mention that Mcdonalds was the first Mcdonalds in mainland China.
I'd go to "lao jie" and i discovered that place it's so cool place and i think you forgotten to take a look of a place where there's a lot of video games and many stuff like that it was so cool
amazing Clip
Wondering, are there any nice beaches around? I am going to go to Shenzhen the next academic year.
good video and stay awesome like you say
i lived in china before for 2 years. ill be going back to visit in about a month for about 2 weeks and will visit shenzhen...any other places besides dongmen?
What are the restrooms like there?
“Temple of McDonald’s”
I’ll check it out tomorrow
Just fascinating.Where are the real quality products sold that are Chines designed and manufactured?
"what younger people get up to in the city, slamming the brother's head into wall for instant." made my day =)
Let's NEVER photograph children. Let's NEVER photograph the elderly. Do we all hear how we have been socially engineered? Get a grip, people. Show the world, warts and all. So relax, BE YOURSELF. Who has time to think about every possible mistake we may make. That's the spice of life. I'm all about, life' too short. Peace.
Another outstanding documentary !!!!
Looks a lot like the Xi Men area of Taipei City here in Taiwan.
This 'falafel-like thing' (2:54) is actually Greek-style 'gyros' (pron. /'giros/): sliced meat with various condiments and a yogurt-based sauce all in a special wrap called 'pita' (/'pita/). How do I know? I'm Greek! ;-)
I was contemplating not doing you the dignity of answering but I will not stand idly by while you spread hate. Why can you not just let countries be? My comment was by no means an attempt at nationalist sentiment and, if I am wrong in what I said, I will wholeheartedly admit to it after personal research. You started a hate war and are trying to unbury the hatchet on such a contentious subject as the relationship between Turkey and Greece for no good reason. Peace, brother. We are all fellow human beings after all, our one and only country being Mother Earth :-)
Whatever suits you, partner. No time to engage in meaningless conversation with trolls or fanatics online. I tried to end this peacefully, you didn;t want to, fine with me.

Hey serpentza,didnt you know that, it is not chinese hamburger, it is "Turkish Doner Kebab"2:46 .
And its traditional turkish food. not chinese or smthing.
+altanca
In fact, the doner machine was invented by German after WW2....
You got photo bombed a few times Winston. Can never find my way round that place I just keep gong till I find a subway station. Food, Clothing and nice looking women this is definitely the place to go.
thank you so much
What about fire escape routes in those malls? they would die in hundreds with this layout.
I have been in many of these types of malls and the first thing that came to my mind was God help you if there was a fire or some other disaster, There are no direct routes out. Exits not marked. Made me very uncomfortable being in them..
It's a giant Paraguay (near to frontier with Brazil)
It would be cool to know what are the prices of those knock offs.
I like your work and I agree with all you say and do, but I have noticed that just as in the west, every entity build plots to fit the top 80 and then replicate. everything you have shown here is 99.999% the same as in Guangzhou, as in Chengdu, as in Shenzhen, as in China and as of lately Arlington Texas USA,(Hong Kong Market)(V-Land) and as in BKK.
Omg that guys t shirt at 0:49 lol l! Stoners are everywhere!
i heard that visa laws have changed for shenzhen and Macaoand other places on the peninsula to make it easier for tourists. can you confirm this as ill be there in a few months
Shēnzhèn shì yīgè měilì dì dìfāng :)
Thank you for praising my hometown~
I'm staying in Dongmen next month :)
I don't see the new experience lol, 100% same to what we have in Perú REALLY, except it seems safer there :p
Shenzhen, where every woman is attractive simply because they aren't fat.
falafel is something very different: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falafel
Except for English teaching, are there in China any other jobs available for foreigners?
Asia is filled with Starbucks, but I rarely see them having any customers. How on earth are they still here... Drug dealing? Human trafficking? Spies for the CIA? Must be something because they sure aren't making money from selling coffee or food.
lol, 00:50 the t-shirt of the guy in the left :D four 20 :D 420 :D
anyways, nice video, always glad to hear about stuff to do in china shenzhen especially, besides work. ! more public videos :D
cant hear myself think and im not even there........
Omg, the squids... 😍😍😍😍
Now I know what to do with dong men
Shenzhen, what to do?Pick up pretty young women!In case anyone was too busy to see them.
Winston, "when are you going to do some video about chocolate city?"
The falafal (chinese hamburger) is much to fat....I would even say that it's 80 to 90% fat.....
But Dongmen is very nice to visit.
isn't youtube banned in China ?
Is there any replica shopping centre in Shenzhen ?
