I went to Hallstatt, Austria earlier this year and learned that they're suffering from overtourism because of the Hallstatt replica in China. People visit the fake Hallstatt and then decide they want to travel to Europe to see the real thing. They had to limit the number of tour buses allowed in on any given day because overtourism was becoming such a problem (lucky for me I picked a pretty quiet day to go and was able to enjoy the town without fighting crowds)

Many times people were surprised that we were (U.S.) American kids since some Americans are so loud and rude. Simple Kindness and respectfulness potentially save lives since they dislodge some of the stereotypes that divide people and make wars more likely. Thank You!

They generally think a person should get married and start a family by around 30. The younger generation generally cares little about if a person is married or not. There are a lot difference between older and younger generations.

For anyone confused by the flickering lights: Cameras made in America/lighting in America operates at a standard of 60Hz (this can be changed in-camera, of course), but China uses a 220V 50Hz system. As a result, the strobing of the lights at 50Hz causes aliasing due to the desync with his cameras 60Hz frequency (NTSC). It can be fixed by switching to the proper frequency for the lighting environment you find yourself in (In this case, Tommy should switch to PAL 50Hz).

Hey Tommy, how are you doing? Besides never bothering to ask I have always wondered what do you do for living, as you said to the "almost wife", complicated job. I am in a point in life that might use some more experienced knowledge to guide my attention to some more cost-effective ways of living, because of that being poorly done by me on the last years. Yeah, that's a complicated way to say I am broke. Hope someday in the future I can start some travel vlogging like I see you doing, but what really amazes me are the polyglossic interactions you show on your videos, and the naturallity you speak some languages always catch me offguard, besides already knowing you gonna talk chinese when you will be in China. If you ever come to southern Brazil I can show you around. We do not have the fancy architecture from Europe, but the people that emigrated from there a century ago.

40 minutes to get to Hangzhou by high-speed train.. and 67 minutes to get to Thames Town by metro. Maybe commuting from Hangzhou is better than from Shanghai suburbs..
