Haha this is so accurate! I must not have lived in China long enough because I still can't do that deep squat. Their response to the word "tip" had me in tears. Only thing missing is trying to pay with wechat. Great stuff guys!
snarkyguy Well do some research, and talk to relatives who lives in the US about the culture and what to do and what not to do, compare it to China. Just be mentally prepared. Welcome to the USA.
Lived in China for eight years. Returned to the UK in 2010 for kids' schooling. Have never settled and hate every second of it. Counting the days to when I can "go home" to the Far East. It's my honest opinion that if you've been gone for anything over five years, you'll never return - not really. And no 'repatriation course' is going to help.
Lived in the UK for eight years, I like the family lifestyle here but my social network is shrinking, made some new friends but people are too polite to call each other, here is peaceful and lonely, China is noisy and exciting!
That time I crossed a road at the crosswalk without a light and a car actually stopped and waited for me to cross. That's when realized I wasn't in China anymore.
This video covers some "negative" social experiences in China, e.g., smoking in public and the "Great Fire Wall". I see in the comments that many Chinese viewers got triggered by such depictions. As a Chinese myself, I totally understand their feelings but must say they are still in the middle of getting through their shares of "culture shock" in a world of free speech. The point is, the depiction here, even about the negative experiences, is rather friendly than critic. The tone of their performance is like "i am missing all these 'freedoms' I enjoyed in China" rather than morally accusing or hostilely mocking at them. I guess it will take some more time for them to understand.
I know that "FU WU YUARRRRR" thing the squatting on the floor "friend price" and OMG the "turn around"to the taxi driver this was a REALLY good video!! also who's the Taxi driver? amazing actor LOL
I just got back from a year living in Taiwan and this is so relatable hahaha right when I came back to the US I used to always forget my seatbelt, look both ways before crossing the street, and the worst thing was that for some reason I had an accent when speaking English... most of my reverse culture shock has gone away by now, but I think one lasting thing was the fact that no matter where I am or how close I'm standing to someone, I'll always speak REALLY REALLY LOUDLY. Even though I had to lose these habits in order to fit back in, I'll have to say I miss being able to haggle!!
the problem is that in some chinese cabs or I guess in this case maybe taiwanese cabs, they put seat covers that has either Velcro or some sort of binding that completely hides away the buckling part of the seat belt so you legit cannot buckle your seatbelt unless you take the seat cover off or cut a hole.
Haha funny! Interesting about the accent. I tend to notice accent coming from westerners who have lived in China (or Taiwan) for a long time. But what I notice is that it's not "accent" in the sense of the pronunciation of words, but with tones. Mandarin has 4 tones plus a soft tone whereas English has no set tones. So if you've been speaking Mandarin a lot these 4 tones will likely come through when you speak English because they've been wired into your brain. I'm Chinese originally but lived majority of my life in the UK (including all my teenage years, with only 3 visits to China in the last 13 years). When I speak Chinese nowadays I don't do the 4 tones properly with each word, and in a sentence my tone would go up and down like it does in English. My family in China all say I don't speak Chinese very well anymore, but it is in fact better than it sounds.
Goldie K haggling is not an advantage, given that they always set the price four times higher for you as soon as they see your foreigner face. In the end you have half of the triple of the usual price
The "I got it“ part really got me haha. In Canada, whenever u finish ur food in a restaurant, some waiters might ask you "split or all together", and some even done the split calculation for u l0l.
I'm from nyc and I've tried to bargain down the food cart guys... they'll usually give you a discount if they're blatantly inflating it at touristy places :)
Hey guys this is Turner Sparks, I'm the dude in the green shirt in the video. I'm a stand up comedian now based in New York after 12 years of living in China. I have a weekly podcast called "Lost In America" (Listen and Subscribe Here: itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lost-in-america/id1164577211?mt=2) where we bring on the best comedians in NY (Wil Sylvince and Joe Schaefer from this video have both been on) and we talk about repatriation issues like the ones in this video and beyond ie "How does a dishwasher work?", "Why do they now have gluten free communion at church?" and "Why do you need a doctor's prescription to buy contact lenses?" If you like this video you will LOVE it. Get Lost!
hahaha lol very funny. When I went back to my country I had difficulty socialising, specially, I keept forgetting to shake hands or kiss people in the checks lol. Also I forgot that we don't share food and that people get pissed if you take some food out of their plates without asking haha. By the way... people can't drink in public in U.S.?
Haha that part where you fought for the bill is literally like my dad and uncle all over again!! Oh and that Asian squat!! Some funny stereotypes here. 😂😂😂
Wow I am shocked by how many negative comments from Chinese. What included in this clip is so true even in my hometown Shanghai, why can't you just accept the fact?
hahaha, that was fuc*ing genius! I love you do these quality videos, instead of a bunch of guys siting on a table and talking some sh*it. keep up the hard work!
To my Chinese friends commenting, many of you didn't seem to understand that this is a comedy sketch. And the joke is really on the expats who have adopted some of your culture and when they go back home and do the same things as they did in China it doesn't fit there. We westerrns tend to like to laugh at ourselves and laugh I did! This was hilarious.
Comedy doesn't have to be ignorant and bigoted. Who do you think you are to tell offended people that "it's just comedy"🙄 I dare you do that to black people
Unfortunately I only saw 5 minutes of bias and arrogance. If you do that do any other race in the world, not sure how many demand letters you are abt to receive.
waha did you guys want some hot corn juice?! And I have to admit I am like that girl in the video do not take any ice when I am on my period, bad bad for health!
+Karina You're the first white girl i've heard to adopt the 'cold things while on the rag will kill you' mentality. And i wonder how many 'ABC' women follow that. I will admit that despite absolutely not believing in their thing with cold water causing stomach disruptions, it has against all my defenses apparently brainwashed me. If i have stomach discomfort and then drink something cold, i swear i'll feel an increase in pain. I swear it's purely psychosomatic, but crazy that even thinking/knowing that, it still happens. So, do what you gotta do, i guess.
after travelling around the world for 3 years, back home, one of the habits i couldn't kick was doing my laundry in the bathtub. kept it up for 3 months
You should do a sequel adding lack of personal space, mass chaos at any place where a line should be forming, walking right up to the server to pay for your meal, and some others.
so many people are sensitive lol, i lived in china for most of my life and almost all of the things(althought exaggerated) is accurate lol, it is a comedy guys
In some very small and traditional cities men may do that, but still very rare those days. It’s not a very decent gesture as perceived nowadays anyway...it’s a typical Asian squatting though, since I’ve seen many in movies presenting old society of China
Thanks for being a culture ambassador for both countries! I can see too much effort that you put into your videos and hard works! I appreciate your thoughts on culture and humanity!
Western always talk about "Human rights", but it's all depends on how you define it. In many perspects, China has more human rights and less rules compared to western countries.
Very funny. But you forgot about "嗯“。 Last time i was back in the states (only for a week or so), i couldn't stop just 嗯ing people as an affirmative response. It's just reflexive. I know the squatting while trying to haggle was meant to be over the top, but... damn that was a little much.
Or South Korea, I've been in America for a week and I was so confused about the trash. I'm ashamed to say that I just left the trash next to the trash bin.
When I got back to America I was staring at everyone because they looked so different. And it was so weird understanding what people were talking about... it's incredibly shocking after a long time in China
I did not have much reverse culture shock. I enjoyed the set prices (and not the ¨special¨ increased ¨friend¨prices), the vibrant colors and non polluted skies. I mean, when you did find set prices (electronics especially) or food, they were cheaper, so I missed that, the usa is just too expensive. But overall, it was not too hard to adapt. I did not miss random people taking photos of me for no reason.
When my siblings saw me squatting over the garbage to peel a potato and they were like "is that a Chinese thing? and I was like, OH right- we don't do this here. Don't even get me started on spitting. haha. AMAZING!

请各位同胞不要愤慨。我关注这个频道很久了。这个频道是客观介绍中国。你们去关注一下就知道了，主旋律是在中国的有趣的异文化冲击。偶尔出现一下讽刺中国不文明现象我觉得也没问题，咱们还是发展中国家，各方面和欧美发达国家还是有差距。我觉得评价一个频道的意图还是观总体吧。比如我曾经关注一个南非白皮来中国的频道，还几百万粉丝，前期貌似是说中国好，后来全是黑中国的视频，靠黑中国赚钱，这种人就恶心了。

@@HughJazz13 对于一个完全不懂中国的来说，看他视频误导的人会觉得大部分中国人都这样，比如吐痰其实只有10%的人会，吃狗肉其实只占中国一小部分（小于0.01%）但所有看过的人会觉得一半的中国人都吐痰都吃狗肉。Serpentza 不会说这些数据给你（而且故意暗示给你错觉夸大数据），只会告诉你有这件事发生。他就是为了赚钱怎无所不用其极
@@sinco4823 吐痰基本上是年纪很大的老人

這已經不是好的一面和不好一面的問題，我感覺完全是在醜化中國人，你現在在中國坐車的時候抽煙試試看，還有扔垃圾的那個，太刻意了，你以為是二十年前的中國嗎？最後，不要什麼事都跟所謂的自由扯上關系，現在國內比你想像中自由多了，別出個國就覺得了不起還刷優越感，現在大部分有本事的都回國了。

Megan Hutt because they use squating toliets so the muscle is developed plus its very clean nothing but your feet have to touch the floor.

I'm so afraid to go back home 😂😂😂
Great video. Definitely relatable, especially that fight for paying bills, is part of our culture.
Western always talk about "Human rights", but it's all depends on how you define it. In many perspects, China has more human rights and less rules compared to western countries.
you are conflating rights with liberties
so true on people buying things too expensive and wanting a discount or lower the price
4:24 suddenly a random Francis
ahahaha,last part is so fun... friends price.... friends price....
Very funny. But you forgot about "嗯“。 Last time i was back in the states (only for a week or so), i couldn't stop just 嗯ing people as an affirmative response. It's just reflexive.
I know the squatting while trying to haggle was meant to be over the top, but... damn that was a little much.
I have been to australia for 18 years and I knew that I will go back somedays, so much fun there
I miss the loud mamahuhu beginning that let's you know it's a mamahuhu video :(
"Sorry. Did you guys want hot corn juice?" I'm dead! I don't even know what that is? lol
One of the best videos in my opinion!
Freaking Awesome! This is what I like to see Mamahuhu. I don't mind the serious stuff but this is where it's at! Hahahaha keep it coming!
挺有意思的，当个搞笑片看就行了，用不着太敏感。
是有点搞笑的
人家就是来侮辱你的 还敏感？
呵呵 你觉得不的话 可能你家或者你们家乡都是视频里那德行吧 反正我是不会站垃圾桶旁边不扔 而跑去河边扔瓶子 也不会像神经病一样跟人讲价
我觉得这就是个夸张的搞笑片而已啊，没必要这么敏感啊。讲述在中国生活时间长的外国人回国后还依然保持着在中国的习惯（虽然演绎的很夸张），从而和他们自己国家的文化习惯冲突。我觉得很有新意，而且还是以访谈的模式，哈哈。
别太敏感，他只是纠结为什么没有可回收分类的垃圾桶
lol I "binged" it, yep I had to use the bing from time to time.
感覺他真可憐，每天接觸的都是些什麼人啊，自己層次不高，還賴上中國人。休養不是做出來的，是與生俱來的高貴，不是隨便什麼人和環境就能改變的。只能說:繼續裝逼。
很多外國人對中國很友好，很喜歡中國的文化。但是不喜歡這個，建議沒事多學習中國的傳統文化，不要學一些下三濫的東西
物以类聚人以群分，这个老外本身也是没素质的下流胚子
故意夸大搞笑而已，这么点自信都没有。btw中国传统文化才全是害人的糟粕
Ok the driving one is so true...I totally forgot about traffic rules back home
有些是社会习俗，有些是把部分人群的不良习俗扩大化。抢着买单算是不太好文化习俗；饮酒在中国从来就不是一个大的社会问题，所以公共场合没有限制，这很容易理解；乱扔垃圾就是明显把部分人的低素质行为扩大化了。。。。有则改之，无则加勉罢了。
张芮 酒文化是特色
乱扔垃圾……只有我理解视频里面说的是垃圾桶没有分类，还有有个盖子不好投放吗？难道是我太善意了？
我感觉他是黑大陆。特别是合同那段。我感到深深的恶意。
哪些是文化，哪些是陋习，哪些个别人的问题，哪些是要改进的地方，我们自己心里有数就行。至于黑不黑的，乱叫的疯狗多了去了，哪里能个个都搭理
还有那个砍价的，他妈哪个中国人买个小吃还砍价的，他还故意蹲在那，看不起谁？
LOLLL I rewatched and saw that 'Bing' was translated to '度娘’!!! I love this!!!! XD
Only people who went to China will understand the trash can scene haha~~
Or South Korea, I've been in America for a week and I was so confused about the trash. I'm ashamed to say that I just left the trash next to the trash bin.
I don't understand is it because all the trash cans are closed and they feel gross to open it? Pls tell me the reason hahaha
Zuhal Fidan wait.... there is no recycle bin in most of the foreign cuntry?
When I got back to America I was staring at everyone because they looked so different. And it was so weird understanding what people were talking about... it's incredibly shocking after a long time in China
Not being able to understand advertisements is also underrated.
So did you actually film part of this in the US? I would have thought you shot it in Shanghai if it weren't for the appearance of Francis B******l.
It was all filmed in New York with one scene (the job interview) at TH-cams Space in LA.
Mamahuhu Cool. So everyone in the vid was in the US, including Alessio?
100%! By the way, you can follow us on other social media to see the progress of this shoot and future ones.
Mamahuhu Thanks. Good to know. I've started following you on two other social media.
i dont know about you guys but i found this very funny.... lmao
Here's a big one: cutting in lines. I began doing it all the time after my return from China.
And going inside the metro trains before everybody leaves.
Leon Campa you don't learn sth good but into bad behavior
装你妈的大头钉
Well at least we don't jaywalk like people in us do
Hahahahahaha I’m a Chinese and I enjoyed it. This is professional comedy. Does anyone notice the Asian squad?
I'm surprised there was no mention of struggling with being re-introduced to standing in line. Unless Shanghai is different?
quibily yap shanghai people are the most disciplined in China,in shanghai most people will standing in line
That is not culture difference. That's considered bad in every countries.
hahah, the last part was so adorable!! I like the video!
This is GOLD🎗
I hold it until the paying bill part... Man that one was good LOL
除了买单，其他都是鬼扯
季世博 停车很多城市也是乱停的，大城市好些。玩手机啊什么的都是的啊
现在人买单也很少像这样拉拉扯扯了，你要请客就你请，下次我再请你吃饭就好了。现在这种情况很少见了
@@una-kayoing4135 看地方，看文化，山东还有不少。。。
Not really. Very related here.
敏感到了什么样，这主要就是搞笑没有恶意的。再说这很多都是存在的现象，不想别人笑就自己去改。
I got to say the bargaining part is so true on me. Even I am ashamed of my bargaining. Just cant help it
Oh there the friend of Donnie :D
Tipping and not being able to drink in public are horrible traditions.
I did not have much reverse culture shock. I enjoyed the set prices (and not the ¨special¨ increased ¨friend¨prices), the vibrant colors and non polluted skies. I mean, when you did find set prices (electronics especially) or food, they were cheaper, so I missed that, the usa is just too expensive. But overall, it was not too hard to adapt. I did not miss random people taking photos of me for no reason.
Travel Man how long had you been in china ?
When my siblings saw me squatting over the garbage to peel a potato and they were like "is that a Chinese thing? and I was like, OH right- we don't do this here. Don't even get me started on spitting. haha. AMAZING!
This video is growing fast
I predicted the end! Just before she even mentioned the price, when she said "... require a fair bit of work." I predicted. Who else?
Absolutely brilliant! Joe is awesome!
what really got me lauging is the bargein moment the guys suats witha cigarrette and the friend price, can you imagine Americans doing that?
