serpentza Make a video about the murder of South African farmers!
Faro485 yes it's high, just like in America.
serpentza Oh really? Is that right? Wellile have to take your word on that, you Chinese expert...Joking lol. I love Chinese ppl, personally I don't believe im superior to anyone. Ive always loved Asian ppl, beautiful humble ppl :)
Whats going on between around 07.04 and 07.24 @serpentza ?
It's next in the youtube line up, lol
The funny thing is, that Chinese complain about foreigner´s cultural ignorance, but when they are travelling they ignore the culture of the other country. Seen that many times in Thailand where I live.
CNX Expat this is so true
@Scott Whatever I think there is 1 clear winner. And it's not the Chinese.
I took a tour of national parks in the US. You could tell who was Chinese by there behavior. They were usually in a huge group and were pushy and didnt abide by rules. For example, people would line up to go to bathroom. But some of the Chinese would just cut everyone.
totally agree. I kinda embarrassed of mainland chinese, especially their habit of wasting foods (in a buffet restaurant, they like to take foods more than they could handle and in the end they don't eat it) this is really contradict with where I was grew. I hate people who like to wasting foods -_-
@Scott Whatever wow. How stupid you are? I mean if you have 10 iq more you would know your statement is pretty much baseless.
As a half Chinese South African watching these videos, I gotta say, this channel is an odd niche to stumble upon. Highly relatable
Hello fellow non native South African👊
Oof thats gotta suck Africans hate asians currently cause of The Wuhan leak, its really sad to see.
Also foreign-born, living in Cape Town. After seeing Hu Knows, will be sure to Mark How things are done.We all have so much to learn from each other's skills and perspectives👍
Youre his son
I had a Chinese chemistry partner, typical well organised robot person. Anyway she was quite rude, until our first tests came back, I scored highest in the class.....then she was smiling at me and trying to be friendly. I thought it was gross that she could change her demeanour because i was smarter than her.
Agreed. Typical Chinese solipsism.
They respect and admire "smart" people! They are also nice if they want something from you!
@@susanohara4274 yeah I guess so, I might not of been clear in my comment and what I was thinking about. I don't put too much value in test scores as I believe that everyone has a gift, rather it's making a person comfortable and letting them express themselves in a positive way to find solutions with the knowledge they possess. Asian culture puts the children under pressure to achieve, and really stifled that creative spark, and it showed how they treated a (friendly) stranger. The strict culture has positive effects too....so,
I should not be stereo typing, as it can appear in anyone.
Same here.
Hey alright! Score one for the western swine!
This video should be called "11:01 minutes of people breaking their necks to see what I was filming"
I just ate some fast food and am not farting a lot.
I have lived in Thailand for more than 12 years. When Chinese come to Thailand and bring their Chinese Culture here, Thai people do their best to ignore their rude and crude ways. Spitting and blowing snot rockets on the floors and sidewalks, obnoxiously loud conversations on their cell phones, and their aggressive/grabbing and fondling style with the young Thai ladies, as if all Thai ladies work on the streets. Most hotels here have "Chinese floors only" void of carpeting that is difficult to clean the snot rockets, spit and spilled food. We are all aware of the Chinese culture as the Chinese make it ever so obvious but they also refuse to acknowledge any other culture but their own, as if it was the only civilized culture in the world. As a half European/half Asian man, I acknowledge the differences and uniqueness of every culture and attempt to retain the best of each and overlook the worse of each. Chinese have their flaws as well as their qualities. Unfortunately, when Chinese visit Thailand, we see the majority to be arrogance and culturally ignorant of any other culture aside their own.
Also lack of respect in temples.
Chinese people are being brainwashed every day by CCP and don't even know it ...therefore they live in denial of the rest of the civilized world.
Usually the things you hate about others are the ones you are guilty of. - I think this applies to the Chinese.
@Charles Young yes totally gross disrespectful and no wonder its dirty all over china and viruses all around.
So true
I crack up every time you spot an old Chinese man breaking their necks to get a look at you and what you're filming.
They are called EVIL UNCLES
You mean they are male karens?
to be fair, people filming stuff are probably feckless and annoying...so...
Rubber necking?
@@JohnnyBot71 Feckless means ineffectual.
FYI In Canada, we don't like it when you walk into our house with your shoes on either.
Can confirm, what can I say clean floors are satisfying XD
@@JR-qo1kj I’d rather have sidewalk dust on my floor than foot sweat. Sidewalk dust is easier to clean
Same in Europe.
@@ScotchTapeMafia why are your feet so sweaty bro?
In the uk some people do and some don’t. I’m a germaphobe and I can’t stand wearing shoes and socks or slippers so I don’t but some do. I freak when I see people touching the bottom of shoes 🤢
Most people will ask for some newspaper for example if their shoes are dirty and they don’t have an enclosed porch to leave them in x
It’s amazing that they don’t do that, but happy to let children do their business in the streets, have disgusting public toilets, including there not being toilet roll and using hands & water 🤮 Where’s the hot water and liquid soap? Nasty, where are the food stalls washing their hands & using the toilet…I feel sick writing that 😂
Seeing your positivity and excitement in these older videos compared to your change in demeanour after you left, it’s really sobering. Such a shame things went so badly wrong in China.
Yeah I am sober today because I drank yesterday and I am farting like crazy and very very runny smelly poop coming out. Hangover farts are so smelly.
1) They're foreigners.
2) They're foreigners.
3) They're foreigners.
4) They're foreigners.
5) They're foreigners.
They seem unable to stand black people,especially
João Maverick dont be jealous, the sun rise for everybody!!!!share the ladies!!!!🤪🤪🤪
@@MrRoundwound when exactly is this common, though? And if It is, do you think it is because of the American influence pre-World War II?
THE STRONGEST COMMENT HERE!😂
I am so surprised they would think of us as cocky it is not like we walk around in public with a camera in are face talking to ourselves.
mark davison wow you completely missed that joke
@@markdavison8602 whoooosh
LMFAO
Thanks for the help wu mao!
U forgot to add “and always overdressing” las in always wearing a suit & tie for absolutely no reason like when you’re just walking around a park. I get Winston wears a suit and tie in the shower
I was living in Korea, and whiletraining for a boxing charity event I shaved my head for convenience - my Korean girlfriend then filled me in on why everyone was looking at me funny: apparently Koreans shave their heads to repent for doing something terribly shameful..
I grew my hair back out lol
Interesting. Its neat finding out little cultural things like that.
Well, we mostly don't have air conditioning in homes in Germany, so for us this is a very valid question 😉
That would be great for me because I fart a lot lol.
number 6: walking on the running lane in parks
Where did you see anyone running?
@@cmh2111 8:39 8:48
@@rafaeldotjs3277 Red is the running lane. Grey is the walking lane.
@@cmh2111 You don't say

Just discovered your channel. Like it! The real deal I learn something new and interesting about China and the Chinese people with every video of yours. Thanks for being awesome!
They can’t stand westerners smoking weed yet will happily smoke cigarettes and drink Baijiu all day long when those two drugs are some of the most harmful. Doesn’t make much sense to me 🤔
Poppy.
the entire chinese regime doenst make sense and will be the downfall of post ww2 peace time....
tbh this is most of the world.
people dont like drugs. forgotting they use a lot drugs themselves. even caffeine/coffee is a real drug
@@namelesssnitchy You are right, but countries like china are the worst for it. Purely because of the amount they smoke and drink. China will lock you up for life for a few grams of weed yet allow half of their population to chain smoke and binge drink. All drugs in excess are terrible for the body just find it ironic how these types of countries let certain drugs slide...
True about Sex and the City - my Chinese friend said to me "I was surprised to find westerners are actually romantic. I thought you were like people in Sex and the City" 😆
I live in Canada. Most people take their shoes off or ask when they come into my house
@@Dylan-vj9yl Take it down a notch dude - you take your shoes off in Ontario at least.
@@Dylan-vj9yl Long life to French speaking Canada, don't be frustrated just because they're better than you.
Dylan Take about 20% off there bud
Dylan pump the brakes there
@@Dylan-vj9yl Look if you're coming you better come correct
5 - It's rather funny that Chinese people hold drug use in absolute disdain, but binge drinking till you black out is perfectly acceptable.
It's pretty much the same anywhere. In the west (at least in the UK where I'm from), whilst there tends to be a niche sort of drug culture in the younger generation, and some people are more accepting of it, the vast majority of people see drugs as disgusting, where as binge drinking is just a social activity.
And are the biggest exporter of opioids to the west lol
+White Argentinian obviously because the west wants them lol
Yeah, the west fucking loves asian mafia and drug dealers. They love it so much that america is causing this an opioid crisis.
73Corbin well from my understanding (my mom is taiwan-born chinese), it is ingrained into chinese kids that drugs are bad because of the opium crisis in china back in those days. they tell kids that it was because of drugs (opium) that their country had such a hard time. which is true.
so i would honestly say that the opium thing in 1800's china is not hypocritical at all, as the anti-drug mentality is a response to opium and the problems it brought on china.
Their freedoms . Their lack of home grown viruses. Their fair legal systems. Their free press. Their lack of pathological cruelty to living creatures.
@Scientific Humanist : That's what their pavements are for. Being so environmentally conscious, they avoid paper to save the Forests.
Hilarious. You had me at lack of homegrown viruses. Not particularly sure about the free press is all.
Fair legal systems? Guilty until proven innocent is definitely not fair, and favoritism (particularly towards females, be they offenders or accusers) within the judicial system is not fair either.
Free press that's all been bought out by the government isn't that free either.
And freedom? You really think we're more free than the Chinese people? We're just as enslaved, the only difference is that our dystopia is a little less smoggy.
@@cestarianinhabitant5898 Your right. Best move there. Avoid the Wet Markets.
In Cambodia the Chinese build many casinos and hotels employing only Chinese workers and the crazy thing is the Cambodian’s aren’t allowed in the casinos. They also franchise many historical buildings in Cambodia and charging to enter. In Thailand the Chinese build condos in volume and in Laos they are trying to push the small shop owners out of the market.
Chinese are very controlling. Just wait and see what happens with the CCP. They love to control.
I like the exclamation "alarms". It startles me every time!
It originally comes from the famous video game ''metal gear solid''.
I'm not sure about other Chinese but I think one of the reason why I disapprove of drug usage is because in 19th century Chinese society almost destroyed by opium.
Yes, it’s because of opium
" What if I smoke the pot ? " LOL
Experimental Flow : I am a 1/2 a century old grown man of the 21 st Century ! I can operate machinery, drive my vehicle , study anything and all things related to any topic, my mind is clear and focused. My coordination and balance pivot off and around my bodies center point of gravity. So I really don't know WTF you're referencing to.... Maybe it's pharmaceuticals, legal pharmaceuticals. You can make a few $1000.00 bucks offering up your own body and mind to test and make trial runs of a ( NEW ) potential Drug that relieve other's aliments but are ( ALWAYS ) accompanied with potential side affects. Some life threatening ! What a bunch of Hogwash ! The pot is not a needle and syringe, is not a synthetic pill, nor is it a fifth of whiskey. All of which will affect me in ways that i ( can not ) perform any of the above.
Experimental Flow : Not at all . Dude; if I told you how little I smoke each and everyday you would laugh at me. I'm a" light weight " , but I function perfectly each and every day. Try this one on : "Don't drink and drive." I personally use to drink and drive all the time. However: I never got Drunk and drove, ever !

Very good getting along knowing what others cannot tolerate. I like and support you. Stay confident and feel happy. For those are negative don't let them affect you.
Really interesting your approach, thanks and great video!
I like your ALERTED mentions in your videos, funny stuff.
It does makes it look more Chinese, although a few cartoon overlays and weird sounds short :-)
i swear, 80% of people in your videos stop doing their things and stares at you.
they're either fascinated because he's a visible foreigner or wondering whether they're being filmed for nefarious reasons
Camera buddy.
the camera.......
wzp15 they’re just curious
wzp15 they are star struck because he's white. It becomes a thing for some reason. When I go back to China I tend to stare at foreigners also.
When discussing the attitudes to drugs, I'm amazed you didn't acknowledge China's history with opium addiction and the Opium Wars. That history would make any society pretty anti-drug.
Funny how it was their drug lords who started the supply of illegal Fentanyl that is killing so many young people in Canada.
You're amazed he didn't talk about a problem from 200 years ago? Really. Fascinating. The entire planet has a problem with opiates TODAY and the chemicals to make such drugs originate in where else? China.
The introduction of opium to China was what lead to the One Hundred Years of Humiliation.
Winston your observations are spot-on. What needs to happen is obviously are closer understanding of communication. But that is a course within itself.
This is not a troll question. What do Chinese people complain about other Chinese people about the most?!
Good question
RUDENESS FROM OLD GENERATION!(THE EVIL UNCLE GENERATION), there is a huge gap between young and old generation in terms of education level. The young generation is much more open and polite than old.
I have the same question but replace "Chinese" with "expats"?
Try reading this post by a Chinese blogger. You can feel the poor guy's exasperation: blog.hiddenharmonies.org/2013/05/04/whats-wrong-with-china-hint-its-not-the-government/
If you like to speculate on _why_ the Han Chinese are the way they are, here's a good theory to start with: www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-social-darwinism-made-modern-china-248/
神州 Shenzhou,
His first description of himself is "a Chinese person", so I don't know what you're talking about.
And what if he's more familiar with America? He saw what he saw and wrote about it.
Serpentza, I have been a subscriber for like a week, and I can't stop watching your videos, very very interesting & refreshing, it gives me so much knowledge about China. Thank you. Also, I love when you walk in the middle of the street, interacting with random citizen, it's something that fascinates me, you obviously speak very well in Chinese, I wish I could see more interaction like these ;) you're awesome.
"like a week?" was it a week or not? Ridiculous English.
I really find ur videos really amazing & quite exquisite again appreciate your work
4:19 I have heard that from a Chinese family while visiting Malaysia last year. I repeated what they said to my mother on phone (but they understood what I was telling and was happy to hear it!)
the amount of people looking back at you is ridiculous!
I'm also a white dude with average height, been to China twice and believe me you get stared at a LOTTTTT!
someone walking around all dressed up, holding a selfie camera, talking to himself. i think you would get attentions almost anywhere in the world.
@@Byroneee Whose to say it isn't just a well dressed man video chatting with his phone?
I know it's so rude. I get infuriated just watching.
Its because he's wearing a dress! When us in the UK see men wearing dresses in public, we laugh inside and try not to f*cking show it.
As a grandmother from 🇨🇦 I love your videos for the educational content. I will never have an opportunity to visit the countries you show us and I deeply appreciate your wonderful insight. Thank you for taking me along with you.
I’m incredibly happy that you enjoy the videos! I’ll keep making them as long as you keep watching them!
serpentza I have a brother named Winston so we share a bond. Please ‘stay awesome’ by just being yourself. I from a part of Canada that is so different from the rest of the country, Newfoundland. It’s an island on the east coast and because of that we have a very different attitude to life. You would love it there.
Also love your Channel. Stay Awesome and best wishes to you and your family.
As a Tibetan, I can get along with Chinese but not their CCP Govt.
I'm pretty sure they also hate foreigners slowly walking on the jogging lane 🙄
thought thats a biking laneD
That's probably the only person iv ever seen jogging in China
haha I saw that too. good eyes!
Especially, as the Chinese are so courteous when walking on the pavement.
My goodness the metal gear solid ' ! ' moments from the evil uncles make me crack up. Love your videos Winston, you and C Milk are awesome guys. Keep up the good work!
Mendacious! Awesome vocabulary, SerpentZA!
I love the suit. Fantastic!
I can't say enough good stuff about your videos, it's refreshing to watch quality vids that are educational while being entertaining. You have a great presence and I can't wait for your next video.
"Don't tell me your are number 1" I like that guy.
At 03:26 that may have been the longest most awkward handshake I've ever seen.
It was just enough off screen that it looked like you were both doing "something else" there if you know what I mean?!
Wtf dude? 😂😂
Very good video!
The older videos are the best!
The new ones are mostly not good.
In many Eastern countries, the shoes need to be taken off. In Russia, as well. Never understood why it was normal to walk in with dirty shoes on.
Evgeny Samovarov because it’s clean outside and shoes are not dirty
mysummertouch : just appearing clean (outside) isn’t enough to be clean. Shoes are worn for a reason (one of them is to keep feet clean from dirt outside).
In canada its like this
mysummertouch Is that real? Which place? I must go there to check it out
unless you walking in wet mud there no reason to take shoes off and the persistent nature of this requirement is just neurotic. perhaps Chinese and East Europeans should walk barefoot outside and have foot shower installed in front and back door
Well, we don't pee on the sidewalks, you gotta give us that
Or shit in public?
Yes, you fucking do.
Have you never been out on weekends? Bitches with their underwear down to their ankles squatting between cars having a piss because they've been binge drinking. Or the guys pissing a corner . You're walking down the street and then you see a river of piss growing on the path in front of you only to turn to your right to see some drunk guy pissing up against the wall.
In my city in the UK, they even put out special urinals in the middle of the fucking street on weekends for the pissed up guys to piss in. They have no doors. All you see is the back of a man when he's pissing there.
So, no, we can't give you that. Your people piss in the streets too.
Oh, wait. Don't forget that when they get pissed, they start fucking in public too. Yeh, so, you can have THAT!
@@GFINHK where do you live?
@@ElonHusky lmao!
No one is safe, we are all brainwashed, the world belong to powerful people
love the music at the end
I know I’m a pretty late lol. When I lived in china in 2012, the Chinese teachers I worked with were obsessed with Vampire Diaries lol. I love your videos btw! Very interesting 😀
I always miss being a kid playing metal gear solid when I see the crazy uncles exclamation mark and that sound in your videos.
6:16 wow, the grandpa actually told the kids to "stop, that's bad manner".. i'm awe lol
lol that guy was probably in his mid to upper 30's. poor guy.
I think he is dad...
Wtf is that kid sayin ? Songs like kill someone lol
Based on all the terrible Chinese censored airplane movies I'm not suprised anyone white and wearing a suit would be considered a spy lol
pentatopComment - the kid said ‘kiss my ass’ in Italian. I’m not kidding.
truth be told, most chinese know foreigners from Movies and have already set their minds as to what foreigners are , so even when they meet any foreigner they expect them to be like those characters in the movies and when you're not, they purposely create situations to make you act out.
you know, i really like the videos where you’d walk around. you got soooo much attention lol
Executing people for marijuana use while alcohol and tobacco abuse is encouraged. Seems pretty hypocritical.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they're drugs too
RCXDerp something western media says about China might be true, but there's absolutely no drug allowed and no drug at all! We've already paid enough for drug use that the entire population hates drug...
Search Google for "the opium war"
And also, since tobacco and alcohol is a normal thing, young Chinese growing up never give a fvck about that, it's so common that they don't care. (It's like daily common, not like craze common) So actually there's not a lot of people addicted to anything... Except for video games or anemei...
Comparing alcohol and marijuana is like comparing orange and apple. They are not the same.
@@user-ld4jc9je3o Hence, completely hypocritical. What a backward nation.
What do you expect from a Communist country?
The people passing you, think your a celebrity ♥️
Yea, like he would be someone with 300k TH-cam followers or something.
pretty sure they where laughing about his selfie stick lol but who cares
Those kids at 5:55 were trying to murder him, though... not cool.
Quisl you get filmed and photographed for just being a foreigner. It gets well annoying!
I'd say seems more like they want to kill him
It's a good video, I like it it's informative, and interesting in view point and different from your views now. At one point in your life you seemed more open minded about china
I really enjoy your videos about China. Having lived in over 11 countries worldwide including South Africa and presently retired I lived in Hohhot Inner Mongolia in 2008. I can relate to your videos especially the “ honey trap” , similar things happened to me including the travel ban to Beijing for 3 months during the 2008 Olympics, was not allowed to leave the city of Hohhot at all. Loved China despite all the surveillance and hassle. Lived in worse countries for sure. Thank you.
This list is pretty much spot-on. Speaking as a Chinese who is studying in the US, the way a lot of Westerners (not all of course) carelessly spend money really blows my mind. It just seems like a lot of them retain the spending habit of a rebellious 15-year-old throughout their entire lives.
jeffrman777 - They have money to spend.
Give some examples
jeffrman777 well i live in the west (even though i am mixed) and i agree on most of these.. i think asian cultures are much better.. more peaceful and reserved.. calm and much more respectful compared to most western cultures.. i like how people in asia are much more reserved when it comes to showing affection because if i see anyone making out in the street i just really want to slap them and tell them to get a room.. i don’t need to see two people basically eating eachothers faces.. knowing that in asia this is frowned upon makes me very tempted to move to an asian country.. simply because i was actually raised with alot of asian customs (my great grandmother was asian.. we think se was indonesian seeing as we live in holland and there was alot of slavery in indonesia that later brought alot of them to our country.. though this is on my mums side.. on my dads side i’ve got african and native american.. ) basically some of the things like taking off your shoes when entering someones house are things that i was taught early and that have stuck to me ever since.. i mean it’s just nasty to walk all over someones house with outside shoes on for that same floor only to be walked by one of the residents who is walking around on bare feet.. only for them to get all of the outside bacteria on their feet...
Litch The Shinigami There is some truth in what you said, but I do acknowledge that there are many elements in Chinese culture that can be very toxic. Many things about the culture are double-edged swords that are very good in some ways and very bad in other ways, depending on the context. Parenting for example is one of these things that I think we should strike a balance between the Eastern way and the Western way.
Litch The Shinigami - Slapping someone in the face doesn't sound peaceful, reserved or respectful at all. How about working on that pent up aggression of yours first before you begin espousing the virtues of one culture vs another?
It's not only the Chinese who get asked weird questions. When I visited the USA only 12 years ago, I was asked if Australia has electricity.
When i visited New York in 2010, I was asked "Oh you're from Australia? How come your English is so good?" Seriously America?
Me too!! I was asked , "Where did you learn such good English?"I replied, "At school, but I'm still having trouble with it. Please feel free to correct me if I make grammatical errors." LOL
You're too humble @coralarch I don't see any issue with your English at all! I think the person I spoke to got Australia and Austria mixed up LOL.
Yes, I had that, too. I was in a cafe and the manager approached me asking if I'd settle a bet. He said I was from Scotland, and his wife thought I was Swedish. I said, "You're both wrong. I'm from Australia." At which the woman said, "Oh yes, we've been to Vienna and loved it." I looked blank, then realised what she thought and said loudly and clearly, "Australia." She went on happily describing how she loved Vienna and asked if I came from there, and that's when I just gave up.
coralarch
I've been to Australia many times, and been asked, "How did you get off the island?" People can't be bothered to read anymore. Libraries are like museums. R.I.P. Bon Scott.
He was so hopeful back then. Has it only been two years? sm
I've rarely seen him talk positively about China at all.
@@trndsttr7585 any video older than this is largely positive
Very very good and informative video
MASSIVELY great video. You are high-energy, and it's a great topic. It REALLY helps me calibrate behavior, when I know how we are seen... Thanks.
I love that you mentioned South Africa. Thank you. People are very ignorant on the topic.
Agreed. Im from South Africa and it made me so happy that someone with a platform mentioned it.
Toni C South Africa’s treatment of whites is horrible and sad
Heather Murray much better than their treatment of black and coloured people
Jody Fortuin how do u figure? The black gov. Officials have called for a white genocide. I don’t hear any white people calling for a black genocide
Heather Murray You do know that’s not true right? Trump declared that, but not the South African government. And anyone who has had their land seized has been compensated by the government. There’s not one record of illegal land seizures by the government.
Apartheid still remains to be one of the worst discriminations in South Africa.
Great job on the video brother and you are right. No matter the country we are all just people. Unfortunately all countries have two things in common. Media that lies and politicians that lack common sense. I believe most people in the world already know this well. Peace , love and Merry to you and everyone.
Thank you, interesting!
I love it when you point out the stares in the background lol
You sure turned a lot of heads in that park. Another awesome video!
I get the same thing when i'm in Finland. I'm Irish but my family are part Finnish, when i'm visiting relatives people will just stop and stare at us speaking English in public.
Tony Lohi hahahahahhahahahahha thats funny tho
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! 🙏🏼👍🏼😎
4:23 haha why did you have to call that dude out when every person you walked past turned to look at you
haha yes
From South Africa love your videos serpentza.
In Finland we also take our shoes off inside. I guess it's due to climate, which leads shoes to often being pretty dirty or wet... And the shoes themselves are often quite big and bulky, especially during winter, so not very comfortable to use them inside.
We do that in Sweden as well, i'd never let anyone with shoes on inside my hoouse tbh
I suppose only Englishman/ Americans have no issue to walk around their house with street shoes on. How the heck would anyone think it`s good to walk into friends living room in dirty shoes ?
bimbo mumba I guess it depends on climate.. And culture of course. Perhaps they wear shoes inside because the floor/carpet is so dirty that it is disgusting to not wear shoes? ;) Catch-22.
Greetings from another Jorma ....
There’s still a difference. I don’t know about China but in japan you take off your shoes before going in through the doorway. Where in most western places I’ve been you walk inside and there’s a place to put your shoes just inside the door.
As soon as serpentza leaves China he lets the criticism of China fly XD
Loved the park. The landscaping and the variety in the greenery were amazing. Wish we had such park designers in India too.
As someone who has worked for a Chinese Auto supplier (Tier 1) in the US, I thought I was informed about the culture in China...thanks to your videos and C-Milk, I have learned more in the past 2 weeks than i have in the past 10 years. I am coming to China this summer (Changsha, HuNan) and I really appreciate all your hard work and the quality content that you provide in your vids. I never thought I would learn so much from youtubers and my GF who lives in Changsha really appreciates that I am now more aware of the obstacles ahead of us and i am more understanding now of our differences. You have given me the basics to "Stay Awesome" when i come to China for the first time. Thank you for doing this and in a most humble way as well! More power!
Awesome mate!
i dont even care about going to china anytime soon i just watch this guys videos because hes very chill lol
Salacious Mustard gonna be going to China this October to meet my girlfriends parents wish me luck. Lol
Good luck dude, I went through the same process with my wife back when we first started dating (way back in 2002). It's nerve wracking, but always remember, get the mother to like you first. If the mother likes you, she can convince the father. Bring gifts, the more expensive the better. Chocolates for the mother, alcohol for the dad. Check with your girlfriend first though, she'll know what her parents like.
I'm pretty sure he must be a spy.
You should consider going, I've been there twice for work (8 week stays) and both trips were amazing and memorable...I've been trying to find a way to go back but so far no dice...
+marioozzie I agree, it's amazing. My company sent me there on a two year contract, and though sometimes it was exhausting, overall it was a good experience. Plus, I loved the high speed trains because I could bring my wife to visit her family over the weekend in only two hours without fussing about with cramped airliners. (The ability to stretch one's legs in a high speed train is worth every penny; I wish we had them here in the US honestly.)
Too polite, too prosperous, too knowledgeable and too generous.
So that thing with point 1 finger and 3 at yourself is really true here regarding the two first topics
Yes , The 5 Rights of China
1) In China the people have the Right to urinate anywhere they please , in my country I must look for a gas station
2) In China the people have the Right to eat any living thing , in my country I must go to MacDonald's
3) In China the people have the Right to counterfeit any countries merchandise , in my country I get it trouble
4) In China the People have the Right to be rude to everyone , In my country its too dangerous to be rude
5) In China the people have the Right to worship the Government , In my country I must go to church
When China becomes a world leader , will I be granted these Rights ?
No, but you Do gain the right to have your organs harvested!
@@supadupahilton6848 lol 🤣 savage
"If" not "when"
You'll also have the right to be free of gun violence and to have free health care.
I know it doesn’t have anything to do with this video but I wanted to give you kudos on your conquering southern and northern China documentaries. I have a degree in Economics/Finance and also Global Studies with a concentration on Asia. It was definitely the most unbiased, diverse and informative documentary/movies I’ve ever seen. Very impressed and hope you do others in other parts of Asia.
Thanks mate
Wow, I have only watched a few of your episodes but you are 110% accurate, "Sensei." IMO, I would apply it to South Asian/Japanese cultures.
Finally, as you stated it works both ways. I have traveled to Europe and made many friends as I try to learn their language , the basics , and research their culture before even leaving the plane. Average looking guy but Ladies of those countries are surprised of my knowledge of language and sincerity in learning/respecting their culture. Works wonders in the Scandinavian and Eastern counties( Hungary , Czech republic etc)
I wonder how long it takes to become inured to having people look at you curiously (or belligerently) while making videos in public? You handle it very well; maybe it’s a personality thing. I have a hard time just taking snapshots in public!
As a Chinese person, the only thing that really get to me is the fact that us chinese are often miss portrayed. When I first moved overseas at 5 years old, I was always bullied, harassed, hit, and insulted because kids in my class were taught the wrong things about my culture. I think this applies to many nations because people judge them based on generalized stereotypes and tend to forget that everyone is different within those confines. I love your videos, and best of luck to everyone in 2019 :)
I hope your mental health is good right now.
I know this comment is 4 years old now but want to add this is very true, we get taught so many misconceptions and stereotypes about China that aren't necessarily true. I was talking with a Chinese girl for a while and she thought me such much more about China and its actual culture, and the same way around with her knowing false things about western culture, there is also a lot of things that are just the same in both cultures. Especially younger people would agree more to western ideals
If you came to america and were the target of bullying, it's not because of where you came from, it's because of how you behave when you got here. The only people who are the target of bullying are people who need to modify their behavior to match the rest of the people in their peer group. Also, the USA has NOTHING on bullying when it comes to Asian countries like China and Japan! USA students can't even attend a Japanese school because of how harshly they'd be treated. Kids in the USA accept all foreigners, unless their behavior is strange or appalling, like not wearing underarm deodorant. Fit in and you'll have a good time. Act like a fool and you'll be treated as such.
@@mikabakker1 All things considered, what the west knows about China is 10x closer to reality than what orientals are taught about the west.
My wife is Chinese, she had some of her friends visiting from China and when they would dine out it HAD to be Chinese food, WTF? Who goes to other countries to eat food they can already eat in their own country. (and don't try to tell me Chinese food is the best that simple isn't true, Italian food was voted the best/most poplar food in the world.)
Ultranationalism at its finest...
Rather partial to real Mexican myself...
It's also depending from which chinese province they are from, they may just not like the food. My GF is cantonese and the food there is very light, very few herbs and such and little salt. In comparison to other food which one is used to, my gf reacts to bitter, sour and salty very sensitive because she is not used to it. Therefor the food can be seen too intensive in flavor for her. Has nothing to do with nationalism lol. It's just a different food culture. You share lots of dishes instead of just having one for yourself. They even share 1 pizza for 6 people and have different pasta etc, if they order other countries dishes (at least in china). Just because people voted Italian food the most, doesn't mean all voted for it ... you can still have your own opinions on food lol.
Picture it. May 2018. Santorini, Greece. Chinese tour group all trooping into a Chinese restaurant. Let that sink in, you are in Greece, on Santorini which is so Greek , and I bet none of those Chinese tourists ate anything except Chinese food.
To be fair a lot of western tourists are like that too - paying high prices for crappy western food just cos it’s what they know
there is so much going on in the intro lmaooo 😂😂😅
Good video
I love the 'suspicious uncle' alerts
I’m a Singapore Chinese. You are good in the way you present, explains and discuss the topics.
Thanks mate
Isn't part of #2 walking on the bicycle lane? :) Good video btw.
Good video. So true
Haha the children were so cute ! Always curious about there environment :)
They were shooting him. (watch it again and see).
@@zippypenny what did they call him?
@@shayrockmusic they kept saying something along the lines of zhende si le which means really die... I couldn’t make out the rest but these kids were literally wanting to kill him. Just goes to show indoctrination from a young age.
John Galt and their father said, eat him he is delicious. Winston said, 没事, which means I’m really juicy
CNN (Chinese Negative News) hahahahaha
Wok Them Up!
Seems nobody likes cnn
With good reason.
@Serpentza what were the kids saying??? 😂
The 90's called for their suit back...jk
Keep doing you dude, really enjoy you and Lao's content!
Thanks for another great video. Chinese people will appreciate what you have done here one day, at least I am. Would you want to talk about top 5 things we LIKE about each other? Happy Chinese New Year. Hope you had some dumplings tonight.
Hey, serpentza I really enjoy your vids, keep on keeping on,
Interesting! thanks
Actually, despite the fact that Germany is quite a modern country, air conditioning is not very widespread. On the other hand, most houses have central heating which I heard is not that widespread in countries where airconditioning is widespread. And if we Germans want fresh air, we just open up our windows. Hanging your wash outside in your garden or balcony is not considered to be a sign that you are poor but that you are concious of the problems of the environment and want to protect it by saving electricity and therefore, it is even very popular amongst young people. So, even developed countries have different standards of living if you look at the facts of airconditioning, or using dryers or central heating.
I'm really enjoying your videos on China, its like the best possible travel guide to China anyone could want. Keep it up :)
This was one of your better videos. I like the new suit too.
HAHAHA the little kids were gunning him down😂😂😂😆
