  • My apartment in China is a very warm and comfortable home; it offers very good value for money. It is the biggest and most luxurious apartment that I have lived in since I’ve moved to China in 2018. This video gives you an unobstructed front row seat tour to my apartment in China. The tour includes all the rooms and the amazing views from the 56th floor in the 61 story building.

      In the states, some very old hotels had outhouses on each floor at the end of the halls, outside. They all had holes straight down to a pit, but they were staggered. So the bottom seat was on the 2nd floor and was on the far right, the next level in the middle, next level was far left. The one that I've seen did not have an outhouse on the ground floor in this design, it was away from the hotel.

      There are obviously some real stories of buildings literally falling over, but considering that to be a normal risk of life is like wearing a lightning rod around for fear of getting struck by lightning. With all the construction in China, and as few nightmare stories as there have been where buildings have actually collapsed, that is not a rational fear.
      The building quality issues usually come out in things like elevators that stop working, leaving you with a 20-minute wait for the remaining elevators to come all the way up that high; terrible water leakage that fills a place up with mold, or worse yet your upstairs neighbors hiring a substandard plumbing contractor and either dripping persistently into your apartment or actually flooding it; power service that was designed for a 20-story building, so it shuts off whenever there's too much demand... etc. That's where my fears would be lodged. I've never lived in a building THAT tall, but I have had those problems and many more in virtually every Chinese apartment I've ever lived in.

    Nice video, pleasant host, accurate about middle class China. When I visited Tanlao (Inner Mongolia) and Shanhai the apartments where Chinese midle class people lived were spacious, thoughtfully deigned, and very nice. In Shanghai the was a very large central oval shaped courtyard surrounded by a number of apartment buildings. Nice place to run on a track or take a stroll or sit and read. There was also a play area for kids. In China I never met with any fellow Westerners, only Chinese people. They mostly all spoke English but when they didn't and I was a alone with them we could make ourselves understood and we could phone someone to translate a word or phrase. The college age guides were friendly and funny, good company.

      Thank you. China is not a perfect country, but there are some good aspects. My goal on the channel is to break some negative stereotypes and share my experience with other people.

      You could have stopped, but no, you had to crow about how "brave" and unvaccinated and moronic you are in a situation where *NO ONE CARES.*
      It is very surprising you didn't shove the "Chinese" or "Wuhan" virus conspiracy down our throats, especially since this is a video taken in China.
      Really, grow up.
      nrn eod - One does not engage in discourse with those who are too stupid to take care of themselves. Notifications are not received and one does not return to a thread after having left.
      So next time you're looking at a video that has absolutely nothing to do with your political beliefs, keep them to yourself instead of ruining it for everyone else.

      yeah, you do realize the mask was never about protecting yourself, right? "High-risk" -- you mean you don't like needles.
      Ironic you posting this on an Asian located tour - Asians wear masks when they have a simple FLU, so they don't spread it to others.
