@@Chepecafeteria if you're in a crowd of hundreds of people in Asia, you'll immediately spot most of the westerners simply because they're way taller (and often larger overall) than the rest of the dark headed skinny people around them. There is a clear size difference, probably due to the difference in diet (Asians seem to prefer seafood instead of beef and whatnot...).

When I wanted to get a jacket for European XL size (that's smaller from American XL size) from an Asian shop, I ended up buying their XXXL size, because that was the size that fit me best. As for the other size... it's not a myth, there have been studies on it and there are size differences. When people are small in both width and height then everything in their anatomy is usually a bit smaller.

It's really nice to see him interacting with people in a friendly and polite way. It does seem to me from watching all his videos that although he honestly points out the negatives (which every culture has) he generally seems to like the people he encounters which is a compliment to the people. They shouldn't be so offended by his videos, the extremist people that is. It's actually probably encouraging tourism and it realistically gives you the information you need and feel more prepared when you go there. Without this information you're more likely to have a terrible or traumatic experience and spread more negative information of that experience. At least being prepared and knowing what to look out for you're more likely to have a more enjoyable time there. I'm also an expat South African so his perspective is really helpful. Our age group are strongly anti racist so he is likely to have a balanced perspective. His video explaining the background and motivations for things (like just leaving people who have fallen down sick or appear to be in distress) is so helpful and actually improves ones understanding of the Chinese people in a good way.

+Stalwart Shinobi: It would seem so! You can hear the audio degrade shortly before the end-music is supposed to start (and vice-versa shortly after the intro music is supposed to end), which indicates Serpentza used KZbin's "remove music" tool to silence it after posting the video and having it get demonetized (technically remonetized to the music owner) due to music detection by copyright-enforcement bot. If there had been other sounds underneath the music, those would have remained somewhat audible, but there was nothing but the music, so those sections became silent. If Michael Elliot didn't intentionally rescind his permission to use the music, it's possible he's unable to prevent the company he's assigned the rights enforcement to from enforcing an individual case. KZbin offers the ability to replace the entire audio track of a video with royalty-free music, but not individual sections you've run the remove music tool on. Lameness. +Cody Granrud: Huh?

I've lived in China for over a decade, this was really interesting to watch. I would like to add that regardless of how much or how little Chinese you speak, Shop Assistants are always very welcoming and helpful. Something that does surprise me sometimes not only from convenience shops but sometimes small supermarkets, they are not consistent with their stock, one day they might have your favorite snack but sometimes they might not. The best policy is to be flexible and grab something similar. If you're looking for Coke and they don't have it, be happy with a Pepsi. Don't complain, the stock is not up to the shop assistants.

(As of yesterday ...they have to boil their water). additionally,.I have some wealthy Chinese American friends who go to China to visit their relatives. (For the wealthy; They drink filtered water and bottled water without boiling - at lease that was my understanding.). Since you do not boil your water, I assume you are in the wealthy class, I apologize if I am wrong.. I can not imagine you or anyone living in the RURAL area don't boil their water.

It is definitely more "helpful" to conserve that energy for other parts for recovery instead.

Thank you for that advice. I definitely would go back in time to 2015 before I went to China and learn beforehand. It was quite embarrassing when I didn't understand basic conversation or manners, but it was rewarding once I did. I suppose I should keep on regardless even if it is not my language of choice for Uni.

Hey Windson, can confirm that it makes really sense drink warm water ! I lived myself five years in China and start to love it ! I assume you agree that what we have all in the western world isn’t always the healthiest shit ! There is a reason why you see you many really old people still so active at 5am in the parks and doing still flic-flacs while in the western world people 70 plus ( if they ever make it it to there ) just heavily overweight and tied to their wheelchair ( especially in the US) and still drinking the ice cold coke 😂👍🤪 so, hot water helped me a lot especially when I felt a bit sick .. cold or tummy pain !

You made me laugh, thanks for reminding me of the time I had in China. Drinking warm beer and water everywhere. The real fun was - if you wanted to have a glass of wine, people there would want to put all kind of things in it - ice, soda, coke, lemonade, never straight. Never managed to understand why wine is so distasteful to Chinese. I've read, Chines tend to be more sensitive to bitter tastes and this is one of the explanations, circling around, why they don't like blue cheeses. Then again, they don't like cheeses in general, or any dairy products. You opened this in another video, which I watched. I wish I had your videos available in 2006 when I started traveling. Never mind, broke my head all alone :)

@user-nf3hv3cx3e6 жыл бұрын
Cola water != bad. During girls' period, eat ice may make them more pain for most Chinese girl. Drink hot water may feel like warm especially in winter. But in summer, cold water is more popular. Even watermelon and juice will be put in fridge. Hot water is usually drunk during illness or period for feeling warm. Don't you want to drink some chicken soap when you get cold? Barbecue with cold drink will be the Heaven all the time. I remember that Sheldon from Bigbang Throry will serve a hot beverage for friends who is in a sad mood. That's the same situation with Chinese hot water.

Sun flower seeds (and pumpkin seeds for that matter) are one of the most popular snacks in Eastern Europe too. If you walk through the streets of any Bulgarian city, you'll most likely see people eating them. It's also a common movie snack among the older generation. Although we don't have the same belief about hot and cold water, most stores and super market let you choose between cold and room temperature. I don't know if this is a thing in other countries, but during summer we have stalls selling boiled corn (usually with salt)
