Will you join us LIVE here on TH-cam on Tuesday?! We want to talk to you all about our new adventure in China. Also you can ask us questions in real time. Let us know! ❤
China does not have a tipping culture, and it is a commercial rule in China to clearly mark prices. Requesting tipping will increase the burden on consumers and is considered unethical.
We don't have tipping culture, only master tipping to his ow slave or servant in Chinese culture. The other reason is preventing unequal services to different customers, Miss A tips well than A gets superb service, Miss B tips just few than get bad service even ignore. One thing good for consumers is you can realize how much exactly you gonna pay from price list. If you really want to show your gratitude or love, you can give her oral praise or buying other merchandise, a warm hug will do the job also.
66.6 percent of the population of China live in the 685 cities and 20 thousand plus towns as of 2022. About one billion people are considered urban population. The rest 0.4 billion live in rural areas in half a million villages. A true diverse country with good transportation infrastructure and endless sights to see. Also a developing country with hard working people trying hard to make their lives better. One of the core values for the society is equality . People are humble and friendly. A country far from perfection but in the right way towards prosperity for all.
The Chinese believe that service staff should be paid by their employers, rather than giving them relatively small wages to ask for tips from customers. Otherwise, the waiters will serve better those who are willing to tip more, resulting in a poorer experience for other customers.
@@xxyy7799-xyi Yeah, tipping is really a bad culture. 15% is not a sign for good service now, but without 15%, you may receive a bad reaction from waiters. That's ridiculous.
Can you imagine that in Ohio, the minimum wage for tipped positions is only $5 an hour? This is exactly how capitalists shift the contradictions onto employees and consumers.
They want a positive comment on the review website more than tips. Every time I take a lot of photos and write a lot of positive comments on the website, they are very happy for that.
Tipping is considered rude by a lot of people in China. It makes them feel like beggars. You pay the amount in display, and they will be happy about it.😍
As a Chinese, I have lived in over 10 cities in China and ultimately chose to settle in Chengdu I am currently running my own software development and e-commerce company. I want to say that the prices in Chengdu are not high and the pace of life is slow. If your monthly income exceeds $2000, you can live very comfortably.
The internet is amazing. The lady who did Naomi's manicure saw this video in Chinese website.She said she was not offended at all.She was very grateful that Naomi liked nails.Just hope you guys enjoy your trip to China.

We can watch your translated vlogs on Chinese video websites. The nail technician who helped you do your nails commented under the video: I really didn't get angry when the lady took money out of her bag. I instinctively refused it! Because my English is not very good, I didn't explain it clearly to her. 😳After all, it's what I should do. She paid me the same amount for the same service, and I was very grateful that she liked the nails I did, so I refused the tip! I was very lucky to be chosen by the lady to do her nails. I boldly asked them if they were TH-camr after the manicure was over, hoping that they would like the hot pot restaurant I recommended.🥰 You're both so cute. Seeing her comments seems to be very afraid of being misunderstood by you, so help her to convey to you.😊
Wow! What an amazing job she did on your nails my friend! They look SO perfect and beautiful 😍 She paid so much attention to detail and that price is outstanding! I agree, it would have been so difficult to not leave even the smallest amount of tip simply out of gratitude after that. Much appreciated this video along with all the others of course but as a nail fanatic myself who has been religiously getting my nails done for 6 years now I appreciate knowing what to expect in Asia and thank you for taking the time to show the quality and pricing in Bangkok and Vietnam too! ❤
No need to worry about if tipping will made anyone unhappy. We do understand the tipping culture and we will appreciate your tipping action because we know you’re satisfied, that’s bigger than tips itself ❤
As for the tipping culture. When I first came to the United States I learned how to tip and thought that was a very good culture since people providing services will be rightfully incented. However when I myself worked in a restaurant I found out I really had little interest in maintaining good service for good tip because it was too hard to tell which person tip well. Today after thirty years, the average tip In America became 20% even includes delivery. It never served as an incentive but an supplement to underpaied salary. It has caused a lot of unnecessary problems between customer and service personal. During the same time, the level of service in China has improved a lot, much better than that of the US and alot of other countries I know of. All these make me thinking tipping is a false incentive and can even become negative incentive to the service industry. It's good China keeps the status que. If you really want to show your gratitude. You can publicly praise the people who serves you. You can also tell her I liked your service, do you have anything else you can provide like massage so she can make a bit more money. She will be happily to accept it and give you a wonderful service.
Tipping people with money is considered "charity" and that is bad. If you want to reward someone for a service of whatever ....... give them a "gift" instead. Give them a small bag of fruit as a gift. Fruit or cookies etc are gifts, while money is charity. Surprising how difficult it is for westerners to understand this.
Yes, as a Chongqing native, I once had a great experience with a hairdresser who offered me a drink. Another situation where people might offer extra money in China is due to numbers. For example, the number 8 represents prosperity. Some people will add 8 to a certain number when paying, while others will request a discount by adding 0 to the number. For example, if you pay 104 yuan, but only want to pay 100 yuan, you can request a discount by adding 0 to the number. Sometimes the boss will also offer a discount by adding 0 to the number, giving you a few yuan less as a new customer service representative or familiar customer discount.
(My English is not very good, so the following words are translated by translation software) I have watched a lot of your videos, and I like them very much. They are full of very detailed discussions, real life experiences, and very satisfying hours. I feel relaxed after watching them. Yesterday, I stayed up until 2:00 in the morning and watched all day long your China series videos. (Although I have to get up early for work tomorrow, it's really attractive). Thank you very much for shooting such a high quality video, and welcome you to China again in the future!!
My take on the lack of heat build up when she was removing the previous coat is that she had a very light touch that enabled her to scour off the old lacquer without pressing on the nail therefore avoiding any discomfort for you !
Hiiii Naomi, I just saw someone's putting ur video in"xiaohongshu", about the tipping thing I would like to explain in a Chinese way: I think the reason they're not taking the tips is :They don't want you to spend more money on this project because they aim to provide a good service experience for foreigners. Their goal is to offer you a genuine experience rather than providing good service just for tips. Moreover, tipping culture doesn't exist in China. If it is genuine appreciation, they will be very happy. Thank you very much for visiting China. While there might be some aspects that are not ideal,However, Chinese people are kind and hospitable, and China is a warm and welcoming country. We hope you enjoy your time in China.
she made you happy and the smile on your face for her is a good enough feedback very cute and soft colour, affordable price and good service, nice experience!
Tipping culture has gone too far here in North America. It's straight up robbery now for mandatory 15%+ tips at a lot of places and it's disgusting... China, among with a lot of other countries don't have a tipping culture is actually a very good thing.
is it just me noticing or? Seems Naomi is getting more beautiful since your trip in China. Did you also do your hair, eyebrows and some make up too? Btw Fairy Nails is a good name.
Tipping is just not part of the chinese culture :) People are hired and will be paid by the person/companies who hired them, and tipping will be considered as receiving money privately from customers, which i think may be against the hiring rule.
China is very safe, you can rest assured that traveling in China, whether in big cities or in the countryside is very safe. And most of the Chinese people are very warm and hospitable, in China have any problem can directly go to the police or the Chinese people around, They will help you. I am looking forward to visiting Guangzhou.
Average cost of the similar service in Australia is $ 50 + ! same as in USA and expect additional 10% " cash " tips . Tipping in china is NOT needed or expected , they all knows the Americans tips on all services , but they ( in China ) appreciate /grateful for given their business to them . Notice , when the cash ( changes ) hand back to the customer , majority of time , in Both hand ....
HI!!!It’s really good to know that you are going to Guangdong!!!!!I will be back to Guangzhou in one week!!!I hope to see you there and wish you enjoy the city!!!!!!!!!!All the best!!(god please let me meet you there 😢😢😢)
the input method is called pinyin which is the english romanization. when you type ni, several chinese characters with that sound will show up and you select one, then when you type hao, ai will sense you want to type ni hao or hello and you can select it as the first option. and when you want to show gratitude, just say xie xie with a big smile and that's enough 😆. you can add 'hen hao', or very good to express you like it.
There is no tipping culture in China, you just need to pay the price on the price list. If someone accepts your tip, then others or the boss may think that he/she gives you something extra, so you give him/her money. So, your tipping may not be a good thing for him/her. As I know, the only person who will accept tips in China is the bellboy who helps you carry your luggage in a five-star hotel.
I have carefully watched every video of you in my motherland, which is very good. I really like your husband and wife, and I hope you can have a happy time in China. Northeast China is also very fun. Welcome to visit Northeast China
This Spring Festival vacation I travelled to Sanya, Haikou. And I got a good treatment in a beauty salon and the lady there introduced the good local snacks to me. I bought two afterwards and sent them one. A gesture of gratitude.
Waiting for his partner doing nails is really funny for a guy: ), Super love Naomi's gigling and Luke's kindness. Highly recommend you couple to go to Yunnan for landscapes. Enjoy your trip and post more videos.
The Chinese input method you see on your cell phone is called Pinyin Input Method, and it is very convenient to combine phrases and sentence associations in input. There are other ways to input Chinese characters in China, such as five-stroke input, nine-key input, handwriting input, voice input, and so on.
have you tried Chinese traditional massage? good to enjoy! for the nailing, you can even find some nice pictures you like online to ask them to custom very similar nails as your picture.
Just enjoy your travel. I come from Shanxi Province, China, but I am pursuing a master's degree in Chengdu. I saw places I often go to play in your videos, and I am really happy. The feeling of living and traveling in a city is different, but you have tried your best to integrate into the local people's lives. I am really happy that you came to China to play and love you❤❤❤
To add to the last message, the diet in Northeast China is very similar to that in Germany, especially pickled Chinese cabbage, which is almost the same as that in Germany. I hope you will have the opportunity to travel in Northeast China and taste the food in Northeast China 跟读
That's called Chinese Pin Yin, u type in and Chinese character comes out. Comparison of Chengdu and Chongqing is a great idea! U konw, local people of these two cities have a little comment on each side, u know... :) But both cities has it very own beauty and emsphere.
I'm glad to see that you said you would come to Guangdong next week! I am a college student studying in Guangdong, I must say that Guangdong has a lot of delicious food, but compared to Sichuan and Chongqing will be very light, Chinese people always say “食在广州”, which is “Eating in Guangzhou". It means Cantonese food is exquisite and delicious, which can be called a great enjoyment. Welcome！😃
Also，my hometown is in Shanxi（山西） Province, which is also a nice place with many beautiful ancient buildings and natural scenery. In addition, Shanxi's food is also very delicious, especially famous for noodles, there can be more than 1,000 kinds of noodles.
Strongly recommend you to Guangdong. Please try the cantonese dim sum and dessert . They are really good traditional Guangdong food. Just like hotpot in Chengdu. There is a lot of delicious food in Guangdong. I hope you have a good trip❤
A possible reason why you don’t feel the heat from the grinding tool is because it is still sharp. When the tool bits on the Dremel become worn, there will be heat build-up and hence the warm feeling
chengdu is the capital city of sichuan province, while chongqing is the city directly under central goverment, there 4 city currently in china which directly under central goverment which is shanghai, beijing, tianjin, and chongqing. so u have the picture of the scale between chengdu and chongqing...
In China, it is not recommended to give tips to service staff as their salaries are provided by their employers. In Chinese culture, service staff may perceive your giving them extra money as a sign of superiority and inequality. Chinese people are educated from childhood to believe in equality for all, with no distinction between social classes, and everyone enjoys the same rights. Therefore, you can simply enjoy the service and pay the corresponding fee. Tipping culture is not common in China, so you are not required to pay any tips. Have a pleasant stay!❤❤❤
As a Chinese, what I can tell you is that next time you want to express your satisfaction with someone's service, you can buy a cup of milk tea for the waiter, or buy some fruit for the staff to share, this is the Chinese culture, instead of directly giving money.
I am also Chinese, and I dont think the so-called "Chinese culture" you talk about is suitable here, you go too far. So, have you ever bought milk tea or fruits to express your gratitude to the service personnel just because you were satisfied with the service? And how is this different from tipping culture? How much drinks/fruit should you buy? Is there any standard? Since satisfication is subject feeling and there are various ranking of service as well. And most important, for the same service, serving foreigners can get extra drinks and snacks while it is just average level service for locals. Will the staff treat foreigners and Chinese people differently because of this? Your intension maybe simply good, but it may end up with unfair circumstance and violate the interests of consumers, especially locals. So no need to do these extra "appreciation", just do your job well, pay the right price, and a sincere thank you is enough. Unless it is help that others have no obligation to do, such as asking for directions, and a passerby not only gives you directions but also call you a taxi or give you a ride safely for free, then it is okay for you to treat them a cup of milk tea etc. to express your gratitude.
9:46, the girl is probably using some input method called Pin Yin IME, it's a system to romanize chinese characters by the pronunciation so people can type chinese in smart devices.
Hi, I am a Chinese who has been studied in the UK for five years. I know the culture difference between two areas. And I hope you have a nice journey in China. And I d love to invite you to come to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province which is one of the most developed city in China. I believe you will have a incredible experience here because most of people can speak English😊
Yup. In China, people don't use money to show appreciation (unless you're family or closest friends). If you really appreciate her work, you may give her a small small gift.
I'm really happy to know that you all will be traveling to Yunnan. It's my hometown, and I truly believe it's one of the most worth-exploring places. This region has the most diverse ethnic groups in all of China and the richest variety of animals and plants. In one area, you can experience karst landscapes, plateau landscapes, subtropical landscapes, and more. Whether you enjoy natural scenery, wildlife, or vibrant cultural landscapes, you'll find enjoyment here. The people there are very hospitable and welcome you to visit places like Dali, Tengchong, Shangri-La, and Xishuangbanna. I'm sure you'll love it there. I'm currently studying in Dublin, if you want to know or inquire about anything related to Yunnan before or during your trip, please feel free to ask me
That's a standard menicule service in China with middle range price. They normally are done with heaps of detail attention. Some of them will even offer hot drinks and little treats while you are there. They use good quality product as well and supply way more varieties of colors and effects. Specially with these gel ones,they can last long time. The longest of mine lasted was like a month and half. I haven't had similar level of menicule service over in NZ yet.
Every year, July and August are the summer vacation time for Chinese students, so there are many students and their parents in the famous tourist attractions all over the country.If you want to go, you have to book your tickets in advance.
I believe the pretty lady use Pin Yin on her cellphone. It is one of the romanization of Chinese, and become official romanization system in China since 1956. When computer science came to China, it also take decades to develop many kinds of way to input Chinese charactors into computer, and Pinyin wins at the end. It is now the most pupular input system both on computer and cellphone. And in addition, the best appreciation to her work is your smile and liking.
"回头客“ is a chinese traditional business culture. it means that the best way to express your gratitude for her job is to go back to manicure next time and to recommend your friends(such as your husband) to her store for manicuring.if she see you next time ,she will feel your gratitude, no other is need.
If you go to Yunnan, Yunnan produces coffee and blueberries, pay attention to sun protection. Dali is a good place. To the east of Erhai Lake, there are double corridors(shuanglang), which are more commercialized and have higher prices. To the west of Erhai Lake is Dali Old City, the oldest and most famous place. On weekends, in Dali Old City, a place called "Bedding Factory Art District", there will be many craftsmen setting up stalls, which is very interesting, but only on weekends. Xizhou is a newly popular place in Dali in recent years, also located to the west of Erhai Lake. The prices there are cheap and very leisurely. The most recommended ecological corridor in Dali is the "Erhai Ecological Corridor", which is 50 kilometers long and has beautiful scenery. You can rent bicycles to ride and connect various villages along the west coast of Erhai, making each unique traditional Bai village a "string of pearls around Erhai". I am looking forward to your video and have a pleasant time in Yunnan
@@TwoMadExplorers Thank you for your reply.🥳 If you take a plane to Kunming, you will see many silver greenhouses from the air, most of which are planted with blueberries. Blueberries are very cheap, sweet, and large in the local area. By the way, the weight unit used in Yunnan and Xinjiang is 1000g, which is different from most other regions in China where the weight unit is 500g. In July, you can eat delicious mushrooms in Yunnan, Local people call it "jun zi"（菌子)，The mushrooms in the restaurant are all non-toxic. But Yunnan people really like to buy some slightly poisonous mushrooms in the market and cook them at home, because these slightly poisonous mushrooms are really delicious，Proper cooking will make them non-toxic, but not necessarily．The police warn Yunnan people not to eat these every year, but it's useless.🤣 Every year, some people go to the hospital due to mushroom poisoning. Yunnan is truly a magical place with abundant resources. You will have a very pleasant trip. Wishing you all the best😊😊😊
I'm curious why you haven't chosen the Chinese travel destinations that most people choose, such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Hangzhou. It seems that you haven't gone to some high-end shopping malls, such as SKP or Chengdu Taikoo Li, and you have been eating at some roadside shops
@@TwoMadExplorers I have no malice, I just put forward some of my ideas. I really like your videos. Someone moved your videos to domestic websites, and I watch every episode. Due to issues with my previous Google account, I have registered a new one. This is my first time watching your videos on TH-cam. I hope you have a great time in China😀
In most cases, only entertainment venues will give and receive tips, such as bars, KTVs, and nightclubs. In other scenarios, it may be considered as a form of charity, and Chinese people are not accustomed to accepting donations from others
The next time you come to China, I suggest you try massage, there are many large massage shops (not street shops) in various cities in China, very comfortable and reasonable prices.

Thank you ❤️
我们没有小费文化，但是有好评操作。通常你认为这家店很满意或者某位员工服务很好，就在软件上给这家店五星好评～
she made you happy and the smile on your face for her is a good enough feedback
very cute and soft colour, affordable price and good service, nice experience!
Tipping culture has gone too far here in North America. It's straight up robbery now for mandatory 15%+ tips at a lot of places and it's disgusting... China, among with a lot of other countries don't have a tipping culture is actually a very good thing.
Agreed, it’s too much in the west
really crazy these days, everything ask for tips, even take out they ask for tips, some restaurant they don't have 15% as option, the minimum is 18%
@@lilili2471 That is truly crazy
Agree
is it just me noticing or? Seems Naomi is getting more beautiful since your trip in China. Did you also do your hair, eyebrows and some make up too?
Btw Fairy Nails is a good name.
Tipping is just not part of the chinese culture :) People are hired and will be paid by the person/companies who hired them, and tipping will be considered as receiving money privately from customers, which i think may be against the hiring rule.
NO
因为中国人对所有消费者公平
如果有小费
那潜在会让服务变得不公平，服务人员会偏向于给能提供高额小费的顾客更好的服务
这不符合我们的文化！

13:10 What a nice music background! Phoenix Legend one of the top singer group in China!
中国香料很多的，辣椒都有十几种之多。看到你们越来越适应了真不错，玩的开心 期待你们更多的视频。毕竟我虽然是中国人我也没去过南方。。。 期待你们有机会来感受北方的风土人情。我觉得你们可以购买一个翻译器。现在有很多相关的离线翻译器 有眼镜的有手持的不需要WIFI和网络就可以翻译多个国家的语言，对于你们旅行博主应该很实用的。
China is very safe, you can rest assured that traveling in China, whether in big cities or in the countryside is very safe. And most of the Chinese people are very warm and hospitable, in China have any problem can directly go to the police or the Chinese people around, They will help you. I am looking forward to visiting Guangzhou.
Average cost of the similar service in Australia is $ 50 + ! same as in USA and expect additional 10% " cash " tips . Tipping in china is NOT needed or expected , they all knows the Americans tips on all services , but they ( in China ) appreciate /grateful for given their business to them . Notice , when the cash ( changes ) hand back to the customer , majority of time , in Both hand ....
早安！祝你們旅途愉快❤
HI!!!It’s really good to know that you are going to Guangdong!!!!!I will be back to Guangzhou in one week!!!I hope to see you there and wish you enjoy the city!!!!!!!!!!All the best!!(god please let me meet you there 😢😢😢)
the input method is called pinyin which is the english romanization. when you type ni, several chinese characters with that sound will show up and you select one, then when you type hao, ai will sense you want to type ni hao or hello and you can select it as the first option. and when you want to show gratitude, just say xie xie with a big smile and that's enough 😆. you can add 'hen hao', or very good to express you like it.
Have a nice day❤❤
There is no tipping culture in China, you just need to pay the price on the price list. If someone accepts your tip, then others or the boss may think that he/she gives you something extra, so you give him/her money. So, your tipping may not be a good thing for him/her.
As I know, the only person who will accept tips in China is the bellboy who helps you carry your luggage in a five-star hotel.
那也是服务外宾多了，给就收着吧，不收白不收。一般来说平民的服务场所是没有小费文化的。
I am impressed by how focused the manicurist was.
打字用的字母是拼音，拼音是用来辅助汉字发音的，也可以用来打字。😊😊😊
I have carefully watched every video of you in my motherland, which is very good. I really like your husband and wife, and I hope you can have a happy time in China. Northeast China is also very fun. Welcome to visit Northeast China
Thank you so much 🙂
This Spring Festival vacation I travelled to Sanya, Haikou. And I got a good treatment in a beauty salon and the lady there introduced the good local snacks to me. I bought two afterwards and sent them one. A gesture of gratitude.
Waiting for his partner doing nails is really funny for a guy: ), Super love Naomi's gigling and Luke's kindness. Highly recommend you couple to go to Yunnan for landscapes. Enjoy your trip and post more videos.
Naomi is beautiful. You look great on the baby pink colour nail.
second, i enjoy watching you guys exploring authentic life in china. manicures are very affordable in China. 😍
❤️❤️❤️
The Chinese input method you see on your cell phone is called Pinyin Input Method, and it is very convenient to combine phrases and sentence associations in input. There are other ways to input Chinese characters in China, such as five-stroke input, nine-key input, handwriting input, voice input, and so on.
have you tried Chinese traditional massage? good to enjoy!
for the nailing, you can even find some nice pictures you like online to ask them to custom very similar nails as your picture.
That’s a great idea 🙏❤️
Just enjoy your travel. I come from Shanxi Province, China, but I am pursuing a master's degree in Chengdu. I saw places I often go to play in your videos, and I am really happy. The feeling of living and traveling in a city is different, but you have tried your best to integrate into the local people's lives. I am really happy that you came to China to play and love you❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To add to the last message, the diet in Northeast China is very similar to that in Germany, especially pickled Chinese cabbage, which is almost the same as that in Germany. I hope you will have the opportunity to travel in Northeast China and taste the food in Northeast China

haha ,I love this baby pink color, it's suits you~

你可以让店员他们打开小红书给你选款式，很多延长和炫酷的带图案设计的款式，或许你可以试试带竹叶图案的新中式美甲，还有外国人喜欢的各种猫眼款式，纯色太基础了没什么难度，另外中国不用小费，他们更希望你在他们的评价单上写上满意
That's called Chinese Pin Yin, u type in and Chinese character comes out. Comparison of Chengdu and Chongqing is a great idea! U konw, local people of these two cities have a little comment on each side, u know... :) But both cities has it very own beauty and emsphere.
I'm glad to see that you said you would come to Guangdong next week! I am a college student studying in Guangdong, I must say that Guangdong has a lot of delicious food, but compared to Sichuan and Chongqing will be very light, Chinese people always say “食在广州”, which is “Eating in Guangzhou". It means Cantonese food is exquisite and delicious, which can be called a great enjoyment. Welcome！😃
Also，my hometown is in Shanxi（山西） Province, which is also a nice place with many beautiful ancient buildings and natural scenery. In addition, Shanxi's food is also very delicious, especially famous for noodles, there can be more than 1,000 kinds of noodles.
Sounds great!
love your every video in China. Good day❤
Thank you so much ☺️
Love seeing your interactions with the locals 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful colour ❤ love them
Strongly recommend you to Guangdong. Please try the cantonese dim sum and dessert . They are really good traditional Guangdong food. Just like hotpot in Chengdu. There is a lot of delicious food in Guangdong. I hope you have a good trip❤
BASED! This was a great video
A possible reason why you don’t feel the heat from the grinding tool is because it is still sharp. When the tool bits on the Dremel become worn, there will be heat build-up and hence the warm feeling
chengdu is the capital city of sichuan province, while chongqing is the city directly under central goverment, there 4 city currently in china which directly under central goverment which is shanghai, beijing, tianjin, and chongqing. so u have the picture of the scale between chengdu and chongqing...
Beautiful nails!
In China, it is not recommended to give tips to service staff as their salaries are provided by their employers.
In Chinese culture, service staff may perceive your giving them extra money as a sign of superiority and inequality. Chinese people are educated from childhood to believe in equality for all, with no distinction between social classes, and everyone enjoys the same rights. Therefore, you can simply enjoy the service and pay the corresponding fee. Tipping culture is not common in China, so you are not required to pay any tips.
Have a pleasant stay!❤❤❤
be your self i know habits chinese never give tips,but if you feel satisfied with their service,of course give thanks 😂
没必要特别强调
As a Chinese, what I can tell you is that next time you want to express your satisfaction with someone's service, you can buy a cup of milk tea for the waiter, or buy some fruit for the staff to share, this is the Chinese culture, instead of directly giving money.
I am also Chinese, and I dont think the so-called "Chinese culture" you talk about is suitable here, you go too far.
So, have you ever bought milk tea or fruits to express your gratitude to the service personnel just because you were satisfied with the service? And how is this different from tipping culture? How much drinks/fruit should you buy? Is there any standard? Since satisfication is subject feeling and there are various ranking of service as well.
And most important, for the same service, serving foreigners can get extra drinks and snacks while it is just average level service for locals. Will the staff treat foreigners and Chinese people differently because of this? Your intension maybe simply good, but it may end up with unfair circumstance and violate the interests of consumers, especially locals.
So no need to do these extra "appreciation", just do your job well, pay the right price, and a sincere thank you is enough. Unless it is help that others have no obligation to do, such as asking for directions, and a passerby not only gives you directions but also call you a taxi or give you a ride safely for free, then it is okay for you to treat them a cup of milk tea etc. to express your gratitude.
@@sihanli9279 没错，这么多说买东西的真的是中国人吗？ 我感觉最多就跟老板夸上两句，不太可能因为服务本身买东西送给服务人员。除非他们提供了本职工作以外的帮助。
@@wenlichen1201确定是中国人，你肯定很少出去接触人吧，有些人就是非常会做人，看天气热，买瓶汽水，价钱不贵，心意到位，又不用给小费那么露骨，有什么问题？
@@sihanli9279 你辛辛苦苦打了這麼多，我要告訴你的是，如果你真心感激，認為服務員給你提供的服務很好，你給別人送點飲料是心地善良，會做人的中國人常做的

這是中國大規模普及教育以及高校擴招帶來的紅利。
現在在中國相當一批在從事普通行業的同志擁有大專及普通大學的文憑
還有每個城市都擁有很多各種專門技術培訓學校以訓練年輕人以及失業者，幫助他們盡快走上工作崗位。成為一個能自我實現並且對家庭、對社會有用的人。
在中國，不讓孩子接受9年義務教育是違法的。

9:46, the girl is probably using some input method called Pin Yin IME, it's a system to romanize chinese characters by the pronunciation so people can type chinese in smart devices.
Hi, I am a Chinese who has been studied in the UK for five years. I know the culture difference between two areas. And I hope you have a nice journey in China. And I d love to invite you to come to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province which is one of the most developed city in China. I believe you will have a incredible experience here because most of people can speak English😊
Welcome to China，Love from Chengdu。
Yup. In China, people don't use money to show appreciation (unless you're family or closest friends). If you really appreciate her work, you may give her a small small gift.
Your both look so relaxed today. The nail tech is excellent - great color choice
I'm really happy to know that you all will be traveling to Yunnan. It's my hometown, and I truly believe it's one of the most worth-exploring places. This region has the most diverse ethnic groups in all of China and the richest variety of animals and plants. In one area, you can experience karst landscapes, plateau landscapes, subtropical landscapes, and more. Whether you enjoy natural scenery, wildlife, or vibrant cultural landscapes, you'll find enjoyment here. The people there are very hospitable and welcome you to visit places like Dali, Tengchong, Shangri-La, and Xishuangbanna. I'm sure you'll love it there. I'm currently studying in Dublin, if you want to know or inquire about anything related to Yunnan before or during your trip, please feel free to ask me
When you arrived in Chongqing, it was a holiday, so it seemed very busy.
Maniscare store is usually in shopping mall.
Hope you have nice a tour in Chengdu.
cute episode hehehe🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's a standard menicule service in China with middle range price. They normally are done with heaps of detail attention. Some of them will even offer hot drinks and little treats while you are there. They use good quality product as well and supply way more varieties of colors and effects. Specially with these gel ones,they can last long time. The longest of mine lasted was like a month and half. I haven't had similar level of menicule service over in NZ yet.
Hi Luke & Naomi: Thank you for continue sharing your journey with us. What is the name of this mall? Thank you!
The name of this shopping mall isTIANFU HOOOT.This is an animation game theme shopping mall, next to Tianfu Square subway station.

You are so lucky to have the most patient husband!
Love the new nail colour.
She did very well.
If you like your nails，only say beautiful and you like it so much to her is enough，thank you for loving my city
Every year, July and August are the summer vacation time for Chinese students, so there are many students and their parents in the famous tourist attractions all over the country.If you want to go, you have to book your tickets in advance.
And there are a lot of people in each scenic spot, so it will be crowded.
Hello, I am a native of Chengdu. Are you still in Chengdu? If you are still there, I can recommend you to go to some places to play or eat.
Beautiful
Wa! I just thought you will post new video on TH-cam today! 😂😅 Catch you in two minutes! Hhhhhhhhh😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I believe the pretty lady use Pin Yin on her cellphone. It is one of the romanization of Chinese, and become official romanization system in China since 1956. When computer science came to China, it also take decades to develop many kinds of way to input Chinese charactors into computer, and Pinyin wins at the end. It is now the most pupular input system both on computer and cellphone. And in addition, the best appreciation to her work is your smile and liking.
Your video is very popular in China, many Chinese people like to watch your video
❤️
Looking forward to your upcoming trip to Yunnan and Guangdong.
thanks for your videos, you successfully made me, a Chinese to plan a national wide travel in China after 10 years work outside my own country.
You are showing the real Chinese life style!Good job!🎉
❤️
Love this. So cool😊
Potatoes in Yunnan Province are very delicious,you can try them here.And the UV is very strong,please take care of your skin.
Beautiful nail color
"回头客“ is a chinese traditional business culture. it means that the best way to express your gratitude for her job is to go back to manicure next time and to recommend your friends(such as your husband) to her store for manicuring.if she see you next time ,she will feel your gratitude, no other is need.
If you go to Yunnan, Yunnan produces coffee and blueberries, pay attention to sun protection. Dali is a good place. To the east of Erhai Lake, there are double corridors(shuanglang), which are more commercialized and have higher prices. To the west of Erhai Lake is Dali Old City, the oldest and most famous place. On weekends, in Dali Old City, a place called "Bedding Factory Art District", there will be many craftsmen setting up stalls, which is very interesting, but only on weekends. Xizhou is a newly popular place in Dali in recent years, also located to the west of Erhai Lake. The prices there are cheap and very leisurely. The most recommended ecological corridor in Dali is the "Erhai Ecological Corridor", which is 50 kilometers long and has beautiful scenery. You can rent bicycles to ride and connect various villages along the west coast of Erhai, making each unique traditional Bai village a "string of pearls around Erhai". I am looking forward to your video and have a pleasant time in Yunnan
Thank you so much ☺️
@@TwoMadExplorers Thank you for your reply.🥳 If you take a plane to Kunming, you will see many silver greenhouses from the air, most of which are planted with blueberries. Blueberries are very cheap, sweet, and large in the local area. By the way, the weight unit used in Yunnan and Xinjiang is 1000g, which is different from most other regions in China where the weight unit is 500g. In July, you can eat delicious mushrooms in Yunnan, Local people call it "jun zi"（菌子)，The mushrooms in the restaurant are all non-toxic. But Yunnan people really like to buy some slightly poisonous mushrooms in the market and cook them at home, because these slightly poisonous mushrooms are really delicious，Proper cooking will make them non-toxic, but not necessarily．The police warn Yunnan people not to eat these every year, but it's useless.🤣 Every year, some people go to the hospital due to mushroom poisoning. Yunnan is truly a magical place with abundant resources. You will have a very pleasant trip. Wishing you all the best😊😊😊
i'm sooooo love you guys travel video,i'm watching this vedio now then look like i accompainied Naomi to do nail art🤣
I'm curious why you haven't chosen the Chinese travel destinations that most people choose, such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Hangzhou. It seems that you haven't gone to some high-end shopping malls, such as SKP or Chengdu Taikoo Li, and you have been eating at some roadside shops
We don’t like typical tourist destinations ❤️ we like to travel and experience real local life 🙏
@@TwoMadExplorers I have no malice, I just put forward some of my ideas. I really like your videos. Someone moved your videos to domestic websites, and I watch every episode.

In most cases, only entertainment venues will give and receive tips, such as bars, KTVs, and nightclubs. In other scenarios, it may be considered as a form of charity, and Chinese people are not accustomed to accepting donations from others
I ate at a restaurant in California back, I tipped 10% and the waitress chased me out and said it was too little 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Really beautiful! Luke needs that too…same colour! 😄
The next time you come to China, I suggest you try massage, there are many large massage shops (not street shops) in various cities in China, very comfortable and reasonable prices.
China is another level in many field🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
