- First Tier? Third Tier? Why is Shenzhen in my opinion the best city in China? Especially since I've been all over China and seen all of the biggest and best, as well as the rural and the small cities and towns, well here are the definitive reasons as to why I still think that Shenzhen is the best city China has to offer.

I'm at a bad part in my life and your videos really help me keep my spirits and ambitions up. Just thought you should know mate, keep it up and all the best
You'd best stay awesome mate! Push on through, the tough times will pass!
thank you mate, will do:)
MelloOwnsRyuuzaki Go kid! there is still no golden button receiver among China based youtubers yet.

MelloOwnsRyuuzaki if you're not tied down with responsibilities in Australia considering working in Asia for a few years. You might discover that you never want to go back to the western world.
As someone who grew up in HK I can’t sympathise with your complaints about expensive rent
haha
In the 3rd tier cities, the people are so much more laid back and chill. Stuff is cheaper. Locals are more friendly and genuine. If some guy comes up to you in a 3rd tier city, they're probably just curious about you and want to see what's up with you up close. Unless maybe a KTV...haha.
Whereas in 1st tier cities, people are more rushed, arrogant, and usually have some agenda. When someone comes up to you, they want something from you. Usually, to buy some real estate, join some membership, or invest in some ponzi scheme. The worst is when you get approached by some pompous guy in a suit and camera filming you to STAY AWESOME.
Not always, 3rd 4th tier cities that have a lot of factories are money centered. And the people might be nationalistic and seriously annoying and harassing.
Wei Zhang - Apples to apples. I'm talking about big cities with large populations vs smaller cities, not one part of a country with another part. You can argue Chicago to be comparable to NYC. Also you can compare Bloomington, IL with Albany, NY. But you can't say NYC and Albany are in the same tier even tho they're in the same state. Same contrast as Shenzhen vs. Huizhou in Guangdong.
skylinec83 it's same every else. City life drives people crazy.

Whilst everyone else is wearing a bathing suit, Winston is wearing a business suit.
Now that's what I call professionalism.
I live in an ocean-view apartment (170m2 with three bedrooms) in Xiamen. The landlord recently raised the rent from 4500 to 4950. I was of course upset but after hearing how much you pay I feel much better now. Thx :D
Folks, it's all relative. In the SF Bay Area, rent costs about 25k-30k yuan for 130-150 m2 per month. I converted the numbers to yuan and m2.
I pay 2700 for 3 bedroom in Hangzhou...how do you feel now?
Amsterdam: 15000 rmb for about 80 m2 in a good area. For 45 m2 you will still easily pay 10000 in center.... waaahhh 4950 for 170 m2 ocean view apartment does sound great!! 😁😜
Tel Aviv, Isarel
a 60-70 square meter apartment would set you back around 12,000 RMB or 1,750 USD.
Yeah, You go ahead and enjoy your Ocean View Apartment lol...
850 m^2 in cali for $1200 :D
Prozzie! Nice video. Glad you had him as a guest.
I'm happy to see you and prozzie working it out . Nice informational video. keep up the good work. From Montreal Canada
Great Videos! Very informative and helpful. Especially for someone who just moved to China. Keep up the good work.
Welcome to another wrideo
lol
Shinay nay hilarious lol
I love the video introductions by his wife. Keep them coming!

She just got some dental work done.
I think she is reading like that deliberately. It's cute and you may difficult to get that.
Ningbo is an up and coming city too. I saw it graduate from 3 to 2 tier. Nice to see the discussion.
They made this "new tier 1" cities which is a bit worse than the four but better than the rest of the tier 2s. So technically, ningbo is tier 1 now. Heres the link. wapbaike.baidu.com/item/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E5%9F%8E%E5%B8%82%E6%96%B0%E5%88%86%E7%BA%A7%E5%90%8D%E5%8D%95
@the JaYoe Nation Totally agree with you Matt. Many people agree with that "In terms of Chinese city life , if you want to see the past China, please go to Beijing. If you want to see the current China, go to Shanghai. If you want to see the future China, please go to Shenzhen". And in my opinion, if you want to see the China's future of future, please go to Ningbo, Dalian, Guiyang..etc.. those thriving cities with a complete new infrastructures buildup from scratch.
Chaoran He All tier 1 humans in the world should create their own country and become the world power :P
Or you have tier 1 humans everywhere in the world and they control the second and third tier humans
Become the elite and control the proletariat
Haha just kidding :)
" How&Why can we Chinese achieve a complete infrastructure reconstruction so fast? Besides the readiness of technology, manpower and money, We don't not need to go through an unnecessary, arduous overhead of national or congrass debate to prove it or how to implement it. Moreover all land is the property of the nation. There is no such thing in China someone can own a piece of private land. So, the nation is the solo landlord has the upper hand right to terminate the lease." ---- Dr Aaron, July 14. 2017.
RoyalDomi come on... that is not our communism spirit, you knew that. Mr Deng, Xiaoping explained 40 years ago, the strategy of how to make China a develped country .. Basically , “Let some people, some areas with good geographic advance get rich first, then redistribute the wealth in the form of new investment to help the rest relative poorer areas to get rich too. ” This strategy is totally working now. Again, I have to mention the 'maximum flow' greedy algorithm as CMILK knew very well since his first year colleage computer science algoritm class... It is how it worked and works and most suited watpy for a rapid developing country ...
Informative video as usual. You guys are looking good!!
Really like your videos..so chilled out..and informative.Thanks alot mate!
I feel that 3rd tier cities are more relaxed, even if they are massive. However the 1st tiers (Shanghai, Shenzhen, Beijing) people seem to be more rushed, faster pace of life.
3rd tier cities, you see the ancient beautiful side of China.
Prozzie & Winston looking like two really shit hitmen here - Winston being the responsible one & Prozzie being the one who shoots the wrong person, thus getting both of them into deep shit. I feel a screenplay coming on.
That's pretty much the plot to one of the best movies of the last decade - In Bruges. Winston is Brendan Gleeson and Proz is Colin Farrell.
Fuck! You're right! I don't think Colin Farrell's character wore really shite mirrored sunglasses though. That could be all the difference needed to prevent claims of plagiarism.
Tang Wei, Jason Statham & Matthew McConaughey in The Shenzhen Job.
Hot fuzz, Snatch...
Have you copied a past you comments from someone else its almost exactly the same almost word for word I've seen on other serpentza's videos.
Loving these videos! Keep 'em coming.
Nice video Winston, as always!
Winston and prozzie and cmenmilk are the bomb yo
everything I watch their video it makes me say 'allahu akbar'.
Cmenmilk?! Wtff?
great to see you two together.
Absolutely great video guys. Loved it!
Great video! Good to see that Prozzie is more confident these days.
Nice video again Winston. I have been watching your videos for last 6years. Really good job Winston. I am a Chinese girl who married Australian man living Sydney for 15 years.
Stay awesome mate!
+ione Kitty A thank you! I really appreciate that!
I lived in Hong Kong and have been to mainland china as well and think that HK has the perfect blend of the levels in different areas of the city. The alleyways in certain areas are the jewels of the city if you want to 'escape' the ultra high tech experience of say the financial district. Great video 👍🏻
Great video; nice to see you two collaborate👍🏼
Thanks for this one Serpentza & Prozzie. Some of our teachers and students are going to China for a school trip and this will be interesting for them. I always enjoy your videos and Prozzie, as a fellow Canadian, I get your sense of humour and you always make me laugh - which I really appreciate. Cheers guys - I look forward to the next video as well as the release of Concouring Northern China.
I visited Shenzhen last week and loved the place, very surprised even after watching these videos. What's the entrance-way at 2:26? I wandered past there and was wondering what was inside, haven't been able to find out.
Before I visited Shanghai, my friends kept telling me I didn't need to learn any Chinese because everyone spoke English. I'm glad I didn't listen because it turned out that most people didn't speak it or if they did, it was usually about as good as my Chinese. I was happy to get a lot of practice using my five months worth of language lessons. I also ended up traveling by bus a couple times. Fortunately taking pictures of the schedule and just watching the signs until I saw the characters for my stop made it easy to navigate (or just using Maps and waiting until the GPS showed that I was at my destination). My favorite part of the trip was traveling to Hengdian World Studios by myself. Only one person I met spoke a little bit of English, but I still managed to travel from Shanghai to Hengdian, get a hotel room and tickets for the studio. It was the best part of my trip. Can't wait to go back next year. (And hopefully my Chinese will be a lot better by then.)
Did you go back?
@@hufficag Yup. My last trip there was 2019.
You are helping a lot of people with your videos and you helped me learn about Shenzhen. I wish I could have met you while I was there, but it is what it is. I hope this platform takes you far, keep it up!
I love this video! It's such a rare treat to see Winston & Prozie working in the same video. Prozie take notes from Winston professionalism to improve your vids, he's a master craftsman at video capturing, editing and portrayal.
people paying rent in HK, let's cry all together ;__;
Just like the difference between Detroit and New York
Can you give a comparative in the costs, please? I'm also curious about the relative costs of living versus the wages that one can expect to make. Sometimes the wages make up for the higher costs, making Life in one location far better than another. If a rent is very low in another place, but the wages are far less in comparison deciding in one place to visit or to live for a long or short term could be the wisest factor in one's choice.
HK way overated...polluted....just crap. A bubble anyway.
Video on the "milk dog" please? seen a few in your videos and I really don't understand, have they just had a litter of puppies or are they sick?
🤷♂️
they're used to nurture children :3
Great video and good to see you two collab.
Thanks for the video i loved it !
I was almost on the verge of not staying awesome
Is milk dog a china term? Or just a dog that is milking? Very confused by this term I hear you guys say a lot!
You opened my eyes to many things in china ! Keep it up and more videos plz!
Winston, your b-roll is amazing. Some of the best on TH-cam.
Last time I was this early, Mohammad was a rare name in Europe.
Thankfully it is in my country (in Europe).
FeelsBadMan
MrUrchu Europe went through a long history. if we look back at spain, Portugal, Greece and many other small nations...
WE ALWAYS FIRE BACK AND GET EVERYONE OUT, PERIOD!
MrUrchu also your teeth... They are not acceptable in China too.
"people will become minorities in their own country"
Reminds me a lot of Native American.
I like Winston. He introduced me to cmilk, prozzie, etc.. But he actually seems to have his shit together, I like his style best.. But.. he has a pain in his eyes man.. :'( shit is real. He's seen it, he's lived it, and it reminds me that you can't unsee it.. it reminds me of the pain in my eyes from the shit ive lived.. I love you bro, you're the man
Another great video,awesome
Holy cow Winston and Prozzie together for more than half a second. Best video ever!
You guys (Winston, Prozzie, and Cmilk) always talk about 1st tier cities and 3rd tier cities. Why not 2nd tier cities?
I feel like 2nd tiers are pretty similar in quality but maybe smaller in size and population. Most notable difference is their location and different foods/culture.
2nd tier cities are just the middle ground between them, reasonably developed cities with some amount of international influence but less so than the 1st tier cities. Most of them are way smaller too, for example Xiamen only has 3 million people
Are "just"?! 2nd tier cities are the best of both worlds. You get very well developed central city areas and all the rural hominess of the villages on the outskirts/suburbs. Chengdu, at 14 million is a nice large sized city with soon to be 5 subway lines, and all the amenities that you could want, not to mention the Best Food in China! Chengdu is probably the best city in China, BY FAR. Shenzhen doesn't come close!
Cheng Du is indeed heaven on earth, thats for sure. I would judge Cheng du thou not as a good representative for tier 2 cities in general.
Shenzhen is probably like the American, looks posh but no culture. Maybe feels comfi for westerners, but doesn't have the Chinese flavour. I would prefer Shanghai over Shenzhen. As for the 2nd tier cities, you might want to consider Hangzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu, or Xiamen. Those are cities well developed, yet still have lots of traditions, and a relaxed life style comparing with 1st tier city.
I have literally just traveled to Shenzhen to go to Ikea and buy some bits, but mostly for the meatballs. I love living in Huizhou because the cost of living is great but I don't think i could do it without having Shenzhen and Hong Kong in such close proximity.
Thank you for a factual and positive presentation of China. This brings back memory of my time in Shenzhen, 2012 til 2017.
About time you and prozie made a video !
I suspect Prozzie's vocabulary might be bijou-fueled (or, at least enhanced).
I was also curious what the criteria is for the tier system is. How would to rate the cities in the US you've been to? I suspect for cleanliness/risk, some of the deepest, darkest southern US cities could give lower tier Chinese cities a run for their money.
I'm not sure about the exact criteria, but the tier number for each city is actually given by the central government, I think it's a method helping to measure how the resources should be allocated. Generally speaking, population is a good bet, but definitely not the only measurement.
Ah, okay, so I'm actually seeing it the wrong way around? It's not, "This city has managed to grow enough to be considered a tier 3 city", but rather, "We'll allocate the resources to this city in order to make it a tier 3 city?
Awesome 😎 stay awesomely Awesome 😎
*Also, Prozzie needs to learn his area measurements instead of spending his time flying kites and sword fighting with C-milk.*
Prozzie has time yet. He's still young enough to learn a trade more than teaching. It's just that in China, he may find it hard to learn another trade that affords him the lifestyle he would like to have in China... that is, a lifestyle like Brown-Eye has.
abigguitar yeah. He can always become a male Prozzie.
LMAO sword fighting. I am DYING
Sword fighting...brown-eye....what the hell is going on in this thread😁
Great info. Stay Awesome mate.
Excellent video once again.
I cried a little when he said that a 45m2 apartment is a tiny one. I live in one the exact same size in my home country (not China) and my boyfriend and I can't even use up all the space here. I guess it all depends on what you're used to.
You can live like a king anywhere if you had the money.
lol no thanks! I'd much rather have free healthcare and free university education while living in my tiny apartment.
Where is that at? Canada? :o
university is not free in Canada.
MihaiRUdeRO I actually don't mind the higher taxrate as long as I can benefit from it, which I do daily. Such a small portion on my tax money actually goes to universities, way more is used for lower levels of education and healthcare services. Why should it bother me what someone else wants to study? You should google Finland sometime, it's not too shit of a place.
I prefer living in a third tier city because English isn't most places so it forces you to learn Chinese & makes it easier to improve because you have to. Also I find shanghai & other first tier cities a little impersonal.
I lived in China for many years and mainly lived in 3rd tier cities. But I went there looking to learn the language/culture and didn't care much about the western features. I lived in Jinan, Wenzhou, Weihai and Rizhao
Paul Gainer yeah agreed, for me third tier cities suit better. How long did you live here in Wenzhou for??
Wow, I don't know a thing about those cities, what's a short statement you would use to describe each?
I can't comment for three of the four, but Wenzhou is a wealthy coastal city with an extensive and interesting history. The local dialect here is one of the hardest to learn in China & as a result all of the secret service operatives in ww2 were from here. So the Japanese couldn't get the jist of what they were planning.
All the videos on my channel are shot in Wenzhou:-)
Amazing video! Also you uploaded it on my bday 7/14!!!
great Video really enjoyed it.
It's a What's up with...but wait what Winston and Prozzie?????? Mind blown.
I've been approached by a company to teach in China but they wouldn't sponsor my spouse. Are there any organizations that sponsor visas for spouses/potential spouses. I am so keen to go to China. I didn't give a crap about it before your videos but I've really wanted to visit now.
Clear, good channel, great content, no stupid things. I love the attitude and awesomeness/professional aura that surrounds you.
+Matteo M. Thank you!
Nice video Serpentza and Prozzie 👍
Prozie on his best behaviour!
Rare sight
I like when other people are in Winston's videos because when they talk, he looks at them like he wants to thunder punch them, sometimes :)
and sobre...haha, for a few hours
LOL! No swearing allowed.
cheapcharlie7, I totally noticed it too. lol.
I don't think Shenzhen is a showcase of China...Shanghai and Beijing are more like a showcase. Actually, comparing to the former cities, Shenzhen is not focused on international image, it focuses on itself. It is an economic special zone. In another word, capitalism zone, it developed by the good location near to HongKong. Shenzhen is so regular and modern is because it has to keep its development, not for face.
Awesome 😎 stay awesomely Awesome
I love your videos, this is probably one of my favorite youtube channels. Please keep up the good work ::)))
+Alex Adedipe thanks mate!
very helpful info , thanx
How about a video on martial arts in China? In the west, Chinese are always portrayed as knowing Karate, Kung Fu or something. So what's the truth? Does every other Chinese person know karate? Is everyone in China always Kung Fu fighting?
The truth is is that the "truth" is exaggerated and painted with a different picture than the actual situation.
Yes, a lot of people know martial arts because they have to defend themselves and they aren't in the position of owning firearms so being capable of physical self-defense is still effective.
It's like asking, "Does every American shoot/own guns? Is everyone in Amurrica always shooting & tooting?"
Cool Prozzzziie on board! How would a 4th tier look like? Why doesn't Prozzzie move to 1st/2nd tier? (More expensive, but you can also make more money)
Kaspar He's been talking about moving to a higher tier city a few videos ago. He also mentioned moving to Japan, but not as likely as moving to a higher tier city. Plus he has his friends here in China and would have to start from scratch again.
Thanks Cuba!
prozzie is too poor for 1st tier...
Prozie is so broke he'd move to tier 6 if he could
I think the increase in the salary is not even enough to compensate for the increase in rent alone. He will have much less money left every month.
wow, that tree in the middle is so crisp and in focus! :p
Except that, really liked the video, think i will start with the tier 1 cities and move on from there ;)
Great to see Prozie on your channel!

oi Prozzie, why are you cheating on the C-Milk?
whoa a Winston and Prozzie video!! it's like a 🦄!
Good information thanks for the video
I have to leave China in a week or so. Even though I haven't left yet, I already miss it.
Which city?
中国有很多有意思的城市，很多我都会想念。
Small advice: manual lens focus
Why? Just put the cam into manual focus mode.
What a stupid piece of advice
... ok.
You're great at giving informative insights into China.
Thanks for the great Video's make, please keep them up
Theses guys are sweating paying 600 bucks a month for rent lol
my monthly maint. is more than that.
jasio kowalski I guess he shouldn't have quit his job "training" doctors...
I know many people out west that are barely on the edges of first tier; that easily pay in excess of two thousand per month for a place that is in grave need of considerable repairs.
Take a look at the rental prices or prices for homes throughout the San Francisco region. If there were mobile homes in the county surrounding SF; they cold easily charge 2k++ a month for a small mobile home
I can't recall if Serpentza trained doctors but I knew he was a English teacher for school children if I recall right. Don't know about Prozzie.
Also we've only payed $300 excluding knowing the owners. Everyone has their own financial conditions. Also he's paying $600 for a piece of shit. $600 imo should be what we normally pay $300 for where we currently live.
Seriously. Try living in NYC or Boston. It's like $1200 minimum for a studio
I dont think it 100% correct of the tier system by your understanding.
Shenzhen is not even a direct-controlled municipality, but it was the 1st Special Economic Zone which the Chinese government built in 1980 from scratch (almost).It is very close to Hongkong (colony of UK for 150 years), this is the only reason. It holds sub-provincial administrative status means the political power is less than a province. The easieat way to explain, Shenzhen is the Wall street of China, good salary, expensive to live, extremely convenient for almost everything, but no history. I may choose Nanjing over Shenzhen, it has a prominent place in Chinese history and culture, having served as the capital of various Chinese dynasties, kingdoms and republican governments dating from the 3rd century CE to 1949 ( copy from Wikipedia) and it does better GPD growth than Shenzhen in the past few years.
Why you moved to Shenzhen? Maybe because of your wife? haha
Haiyang S LOL Shenzhen is much better than Nanjing in economic wise considering the much lager GDP in total. Only reason Nanjing's higher GDP growth is because it has a lower GDP, just like the US and China. Cultural wise, come on, who actually cares about the culture anymore, if a person who wants to experience the old culture, he/she can always fly to Beijing, Xi'an, or Nanjing. There are too many old cities in China, which means that there are tons of options. Nanjing doesn't stand out from them lol
Btw Shenzhen's political status is the same as Nanjing, don't get it wrong :p
I like your video it shows all the very inner things in China and your feelings about those places
i love the video man, especially when you fly your drone to show the view, its so spectacular!
+ＰＯＲＴＧＡＳＡＣＥ thanks mate! Glad you appreciate the effort!
Winston's hairline seems better
DeusJGer He is probably taking some pills... that defends the hairline receding , but enlarge the booboo as a side-effect... or he just painted his skull...
+Tough Baloney I think you mean shrink...
Now that you mention it. Yes, it does seem so. But good for him! I do think hair transplants (or similar things) can drastically improve the appearance of men who are losing hair.
啊哟 Breast.
Bin Young Nah bald is beautiful, look at the Rock and many other actors.
I got news for you fellas----I've gotten throwing-up sick in Shanghai so many times over the years, and my other expat friends have suffered similarly. It doesn't matter how nice the place looks. Cleanliness standards can still be low in tier one cities, and it happens quite often at Western-style restaurants staffed by workers who don't quite get how to safely prepare and preserve that kind of food. As for those smiley faced safety rating stickers, they are commonly paid for under the table in Shanghai, too.
eslgurucalif
Agreed.
Great videos ☺
I think that was the biggest smile I have seen Winston right at the end. You guys need to collaborate more often!
personal favorite citys in Mainland China for live:
1. Zhuhai
2. Shanghai
3. Guangzhou

5. Shenzhen
6. Hangzhou
7. Chengdu
8. Sanya
9. Suzhou
10. Beijing
11. Quanzhou

18. Fuzhou
19. Haikou
20. Wuhan
王程成 It is said Suzhou is over passing Guang Zhou to become the 3th first tier city
In my opinion Suzhou is a first tier city from 100 years ago to now: most civilized ppl, hightest average gdp per person, great history and environment. It is a first tier city maintaining a low profile.
王程成 Shanghai is the only livable city in China, whatever expensive, but at least it's decent
whywouldyou wannakillthecook? 上有天堂，下有苏杭
The poor air quality in Beijing alone puts it at 11+ on my list.
Make more videos about your life before China
Very interesting, thank you!
Nice explainer. Thanks.
First tier city = more money, more organization, more English, etc.
Wow, please be careful, I saw a picture of you guys drinking a beer before driving at 03:07. That is against the law in China, and you could be locked in the police station for up to 14 days. "酒驾". Athough I think drinking beer cannot make people drunk, beause it's far from liquor, next time, make 200% sure there is no security guard around you first. Stay awesome.
Thanks for the tip.
Awesome 😎 stay awesomely Awesome
Great video guys!!! I could definitely feel the difference between tier 1 and 2 even (Shanghai and Nanjing)
Nicely done, Thanks.
More prozzie!
7:12 what is a milk dog?
ha ha dirty bastards @Brian Major
@Brian Major the world is a battlefield
props for Prozzie living it up the 3rd tier - Great video guys
You forgot to add: It has the best air quality within the big chinese cities, have parks and nature everywhere, the goverment and rule of law really works, excellent public transport, really really safe city, bigger employment opportunities, i can say this as a foreigner living in shenzhen since 2007
Of all the Chinese City's I've been to this City stands out as a up and coming Great City and that is Chongqing. If I had a chance to live anywhere in China it would be Chongqing. It has everything. It's fast becoming a First Tier City
I know they have their famous noodles, what's the people and nature like?
Dennis Humbard I
Chengdu>Chongqing in many respects, including hotpot.
Have you been to the caves, How about the street food, River tours, Fishing, Exploring the area, Hot springs in the Mountains, Their are different parts of Chongqing. Great shopping. Man Get out there, so much to do and see. Have you been to the museums
Rent here in Auckland, New Zealand is like $2500
Steven Ma damn that's quite a bit, I'm moving to whangarei from cape town south Africa in the next month or so really cool country
*+Steve Ma*, I assume that is $2500 AUS/NZ and is that for a 1-bed/1-bath? If so, that is about the same (converted from $2500 AUS (assumed in AUS) to USD) $1950 USD give or take the price of my current apartment. Mine is a 1-bed/1-bath a 15 minute walk from the train and 5 minutes to a bus.
Steven Ma Ah, yeah. Even in south island NZ it was like 600 Euros/month for a shithole that would make Winston's a fucking palace.
Yeah in Auckland easily 50% if your pay can go into rent.
Diane if it has a loo and a kitchenette and a bedroom then its mad cheap. the UK prices are in insane. I am in the countryside , and it is still expensive .I love the Uk but i feel living again in Quebec , which is another shithole but its just uprooting family is hell.
That was a very interesting video.
I really like your videos!
My mortgage is $3000 USD a month. So I gather I could live like a GOD in China.
I'm not in Shenzhen, I'm in Shanghai, I can tell you the person in charge, over here. The difference between a monthly salary of $ 5000 and a monthly salary of $ 500 is not very large, and they are all poor
Basically:
Tier 1 City = 1st World Country
Tier 3 City = 3rd World Country.
Bangbangboom51 us hasa similar arrangement but transit is horrible period
qjtvaddict yea except third tier city's in the US still have clean water and no hygiene issues. Even failed cities like Flint.
tier 3 city is second world.(-o-)／
love your videos, and 4k, perfekt
Subbed and slowly getting through your vids. They are great and really give an informative view of such a great country.
This has surely been mentioned before but you gotta start wearing a red tie then in my mind you will look like that character off the hitman game well maybe a little. Agent 47 or something. Anyway really great content keep it up.
