5 Things Life in China Has Taught Me

[@Albion80s]

Kids there are so fortunate to have such a lovely teacher like you. You look amazing!

[@lifewithminkie5178]

I love the fact that this video has so many positive things and doesn't focus on the negatives... And I also love Chinese kids they usually smile and say "hello" and another English word they know lol

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Agreed! I love when they see us at the store and come over to practice their English. It's so cute, and then I get to practice my mandarin as well.

[@ThinkWWW]

Yes, be positive and enjoy what life offers.

[@lemanlie2356]

Beautifull 👍. In the great country

[@szzzx8935]

I really like how open-minded and positive you are :) 光阴似箭 莫失韶华, hope all the best to you.

[@LaLaLaLauran]

Thank you!

[@walid7885]

Am so looking forward to going to China. So many KZbinrs are saying so many good things.

[@theend4054]

in the meanwhile most mainstream medias are reporting or making up negative things of China.......

[@walid7885]

@@theend4054 I heard about that, but I have not watched TV news or about 10 years. Mostly going to youtube channels for new commentary CGTN, RT, The Duran, The gray zone, jimmy dore...you know, the usual smart stuff, nothing fancy.

You have a beautiful heart so you can appreciate the world around you!

[@如是我闻-h3z]

Thank you and welcome to China. With all due respect, you are very, very beautiful.

[@dannylam1687]

Hi Lauran, you fascinated me !!

[@skippy5712]

You are a truly positive person. In the short time I have spent in China I also saw many many positive things. Far more positives than negatives. You are a lovely contrast to that completely negative guy "Serpantaz" (Something like that) who tries to pretend he is balanced. About as balanced as a veteran CIA Agent. Its a wonder he has not done a Video criticising Toilet Paper in China. Not that I noticed any problem. It is obvious he spends all his time looking for negatives. A very insecure person. He is lucky they did not kick him out. Most nations would.

Hi, have you been to a hiking route near shanghai where you spiderman climb this mountain, the route itself is halfway in the air? Like rock climbing but horizontally around the mountain. Would love to see a video of that!

The faster to up load the KZbin is to make slide show rather than video for the less data is used.

Have you been to Hefei ? We definitely want a teacher like you .

I have never been to Hefei but I would love to visit

Thanks for the support!! That's odd, I have no idea. Maybe its updating or something.

[@cw5331]

That noodle is "la mian" , which is the origin of "Ramin", see the pronouciation of these two words.

[@edwardsnowdenhero3142]

Hi, you see, children like beautiful people and when you smile ,they smile as well, that’s why you think Chinese children cute. And off course, traditionally Chinese are friendly to foreigners esp. in Shanghai, Hongkong, Guangzhou, Hangzhou,...

[@yenriver5255]

maybe add some pics to what you done and seen? When you talk about avatar mountains I try to picture in my head what it looks like????????? Just a suggestion.

[@NN-hi7nd]

she had posted a video abt her avatar mountain trip

[@petesim22]

Hey Teacher, please excuse the salty remarks from Americans on here. Their post show they are very defensive. You know, they are number uno, no one else can have anything good , or better.

Summary: 1. expect the unexpected 2. wechat and alipay is life 3. follow the rules unless you don't want to (actually i don't completely get this point 4:03) 4. never stop learning 5. chinese kids are the cutest ever XD

[@erictansweebeng5498]

Singapore and Malaysia will welcome u!!

[@erictansweebeng5498]

Luv to meet you someday. ;-)

[@Chaser4906]

" ah ... McDonald" that was unexpected and funny.

[@micwang7757]

Actually, we can use wechat pay and alipay in Toronto, like Yorkdale, and a lot of Chinese restaurants. I feel like the western little kids are more cutier than Chinese one. its really hard to learn Chinese language but the good thing is you have got environment which is the no.1 aspect to learn a new language. My question is how to post youtube video when you are in China. I tried couple vpn, but none of them working well in China.

[@parisqs]

You are also quite cute. I guess Cute kids meet Cute Teacher, haha. Can't imagine what a cute class you gonna form.

[@thomassterling2919]

This is 2018 that's almost 2 years ago !!

[@bluesky1102]

The pandemic is over in China right now. hope people can visit China to start your own adventure. i knew that your heard lots of negative things about China, but China is a huge country with 1.4Billion people, there must amazing thing there, you can check whether western media is true or not with your own eyes not through videos or media.

[@SFXFF]

noodle man, do you have a video of him making noodles just appearing?

[@z3020979]

[@kevingonzalez3673]

What is it like on a communist country considering you were born in a democratic republic? Did you see a difference in personal freedom? Were you treated better due to being a Westerner? Just asking.

[@kevingonzalez3673]

@Daisy Wong That could very well be true. I have never had a problem mtself in the states. Where I live it is 60% hispanic. Half of what you read is in Spanish. I am more interested in the political climate. The CCP is still in control and it is a one part system. I have known only one American to live there. There experince sounded ok at best, but she lived there many years ago. I have know many Chinese immigrants. I have not ever asked what there lives were lije before coming to the US.

[@kevingonzalez3673]

@Daisy Wong Not necessarily. Not to argue but all Americans share many freedoms. True there is racism but not to the extent that peple potray it in the media. It also greatly depends where you are at in the US. As I stated, whete I live, it is 60% hispanic and much is in Spanish. That is hardly racism. Now if you go to another more city or state where the majority of peoples are lets say white, you might run into some racism. It does exist. Unlike China, we have many many different peoples not just different ethnic backgrounds. I am sure that bigotry and racism exist elsewhere in the world. Not just here😊 Our past saw slavery as well as expansion into the West. Many peoples suffered eho were not WASP. Dispite this, this is truly a wonderful country. My family came here for better opportunities and it worked out for them. They are not all white peoples😉 China has a long and interesting history. Longer than the US.

[@kevingonzalez3673]

@Daisy Wong That state was Spanish and then Mexican. The US bought Texas from Mexico prior to the civil war. Remember my dear, America was colonised by European powers and taken from the Indians. Really it belonged to the indians in the area first only to be taken in the name of the Spanish crown. Mexico revolted against Spain and took Texas as their spoils of war. I did not see the Mule. Hollywood has a way of making things bigger and better for the movies. Perhaps it took place during more unenlightened times or in El Paso. El paso is a dangerous area due to drugs and Mexican drug cartel coming into the US. There are shootings at the boarder. This could take place on the boarder of Arizona as well. The American West was not really tamed until the early 20th century. Texas is a God fearing and gun packing state. Arizona has an open carry law. Guys still drive around with truck guns😊 the city I live in was ran by the mob until the late 80s. American corporations and the FBI forced them out and into jail. The US is by far not a perfect country. Many people have been harmed throughout the years due to US policy but dang, the fore fathers sure put a good constitution together as well as a bil of rights. I would not dream of living anywhere else. My father came from a developing country to this wonderful land. Life is better now than ever before. As a matter of fact, the kids got it too easy and the US is falling behind because we committed to globalization for cheaper labor and products. Whatever country you hail from, be proud, I know I am pround of mine😉

[@kevingonzalez3673]

@Daisy Wong You are correct. They did not envision minorities or women. This much is true. They envisioned WASP, but this does not mean that the founding concept of this country is not short of amazing. The true problem is that if you fo mot know your rights, you are likely to have them taken advantage of by the authorities. It pays to know your rights and have a lawyer on retainer.

[@kevingonzalez3673]

@Daisy Wong Everyone earns their freedom the hardway my friend. On my mothers side, I had many relatives who fought for this country. My step father served during the Vietnam era. None of those times were easy. Life is hard and everyone fights a battle that no one else can understand unless you walk in their shoes. This is life and all trials will come to pass as they always do. Children do not grow under ideal circumstances. They need to be challenged to grow into their potential. This is the same with a country. I live better than those before me. I have lived through seven presidents. I have not ever seen a time that our great nation has truley been at rest, but things have gotten better for the population at large. More minorities are represented in the workforce and in influential positions. This is not just a trend but the wave of the future. Some people do have it easier than others. I am not one of them. I have worked and studied hard throughout my life. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that my efforts guided me.
