When I was in college I worked as a pizza delivery dude out here in the U.S. And in my town at least there was one universal truth about the customers - the poorer the house/neighborhood, the better tips. Mansions - I got nothing, no tips, and demanding free pizzas because you were delayed by their security gates they never gave you the code for, playing games w/you just so they can get a free pizza(s), all while having a swimming pool moat around their house. RV park, on the other hand - best tips of 'em all. So perhaps its less a cultural thing and more a universal truth. After all, you really appreciate the importance of generosity when you're poor and you have at times depended on it. Whereas if you're rich, people supposedly giving you things are often just trying to ingratiate themselves w/you in order to 'get in good' w/you, which probably makes you knowingly suspicious, and unknowingly devalue generosity in general (no idea as to the why, just speculating, but it was a phenomenon I witnessed regardless of the why). Plus, poor people living in an RV park might have been or even currently be a pizza driver and simply have a better understanding of your position and reliance on tips. Easier to have empathy for a situation you have actually experienced yourself after all.

Wonderful video, I do not know how it is in South Africa. Every place I have been as soon as you leave the major cities everyone tends to be very hospitable. Tours France, Phuket Thailand, Nira Japan, Kenya was amazing you could not go to someones house without them cooking for you. Even in the Southern United States. I say this as a 205 pound 6.5 foot tall black man. I am always amazed at how wonderful and giving people that do not even know you can be. I knew 1 person in Japan. When I left I knew 10. Three would come to visit me in the States. In Tours France I knew no one. 24 hours later I was moving with 20 people. It is funny because I am so guarded in the states. I always try to help out someone that cant speak english. I have been in that situation so many times in my travels.

I'm a mixed-race South African from European, Asian, and African origin, and since I am a person of a multi-ethnic background I do have the unique advantage over many other foreigners living in China, because I can blend in a lot easier with people from different ethnic groups. Nevertheless Winston, I do really like your informative videos on China whether it is positive or negative observations from your own personal experience. I don`t like political correctness, that's why I like you for being honest about your thoughts and feelings about China. I was trained as an Engineer in the oil & gas industry in France and the U.S.A. and I had worked in 4 countries in the oil & gas industry in Africa. I had worked and lived with people of all kinds of nationalities, religions, and races, and traveled to at least 12 different countries. I had been traveling in and out of China since 2009, and I had met my wife in China while I had lived in America. I had traveled all the way from Texas, and met my wife in Tianjin in 2011, and proposed to her on the Great Wall of China in 2012, and we got married in Tianjin in 2014. My wife and I had lived in Cape Town only for 9 months after we got married, and then we had decided to leave South Africa for good so we are presently living in Tianjin since 2015. I don`t miss South Africa at all, because both my parents had already died in South Africa even long before I got married in China. I love China so I have more positive things than negative things to say about Chinese people and this country in general. We are looking forward to moving down to Shenzhen in 2018 and grow our export business in the solar industry. Hopefully we do get a chance to meet in Shenzhen next year.

All over the world, the indigenes are always nice. Even the officials , if you are to meet them individually, are nice people. It is when ' officiallity' get involved, that is when people get nasty. Bang on. I was going to say that in my comment, and forgot. It is usually the poorest that share. Noticed that in my travels all over the world, especially in Mexico, where I see super kindness off the touristy paths I guess the rich people have something to lose, but the poor have nothing to lose By the way, Winston, you have a gem of a wife.

One thing that I will never forget, about 10 years ago I was in Mecca with two friends during the Hajj (Pilgrimage) and as part of the Hajj we had to spend the night in a open place called Muzdalifa, our sleeping bags were in our bus that broke earlier that day so we found ourselves without our sleeping bags that night, so we began searching for some cardboard boxes to sleep over, while we were doing that a very poor Pakistani man thought we were looking for food in the trash so he took the only food he had and offered it to us. I was very moved and almost wasn't able to thank him (I don't know the right expression in english but in portuguese we say "estar com um nó na garganta" which literally means to have a knot in the throat, an expression used when we are so moved and we feel like there is a knot that stops us from even talking)

Absolutely! I was always most moved by the hospitality of poor people who did not know me. It also made taking walks around my house fun when the poor neighbors and I would start to recognize each other and exchange daily pleasantries. Sometimes at the market people would give me things for free. Other times, we would actually negotiate backwards - they would tell me it was free, and I would say how about 5 yuan, and they'd say "No way! Too much!" And we'd go back and forth until I end up giving them 1 or 2 yuan! Everyone laughed and enjoyed the spectacle!

Once I was travelling with a friend in Bangkok. We were looking for the offices of a Christian organisation where I was supposed to meet some people, but we got lost. I saw a taxi stand and said why not try asking a taxi driver? They'll probably know where it is. We walked over and asked the first cab driver we saw. He only spoke a few words of English, but we discovered he was Chinese, and spoke the same dialect as my friend. As it turned out, he was even from the same area that her family originated from. From that moment on, he happily offered his services as our chauffeur, tour guide and interpreter for the rest of our week-long stay in Bangkok! He translated everything from Thai to Chinese, which my friend in turn translated into German for me. When he drove us to the airport for our flight to Singapore, I wanted to give him something for all his trouble, but my friend said that would be a great dishonour, as he had insisted doing all this for free. It was one of the most amazing trips I have ever had, and I'll be forever grateful for his incredible hospitality!

you make china sound lovely. i can't speak for the whole country but if you ever visit canada i can assure you that the people here are very similar with the hospitality. the largest difference is that here we are generally a lot wealthier so it is perhaps not as big a deal for us to give strangers a meal. many times though, especially in the winter, if someone gets stuck the neighbors will come out to help get you unstuck, and you may well find yourself enjoying a warm home cooked meal. i would really hope this sort of hospitality is more common than you might think, i have experienced it often in my own travels around europe and south east asia. not so much in the usa though i am sure it happens there too.

Hi Winston, I just start to look your video "the Downside of Chinese hospitality" and I have one advice. The shoot in your car is a good idea, but please don't do it on the highway. The background is moving toooo fast, and it's uncomfortable to look. Thanks again for your always good content, and as always stay awesome !!

Me , my son and my wife was in Haikou when the storm hit, it was an experience I do not wish to try again. The house we lived in was shaking more than two days, and how the city looked afterwards was not pretty. street lighting low down in many places, the same with trees and other things. . Many tiles of the houses was shattered on the streets everywhere. . . once is enough, now I know!

I am not exactly sure how to express this without sounding folksy and like a hipster wannabe. Having farmed, it is a great part of your makeup to share. It builds the best things about humanity. When you know how difficult it is to extract everything that you need directly from the environment around you, that informs how precious life is and the relationships that we have with our sphere of influence. It is not an exchange rate; it is a commitment. To not share is something of a sin against the land. That is true hospitality.

thanks for making these videos, I never had any desire to go there before your videos. Now I kind of do, but first I have to finish exploring my own country, the U.S. for me anyway might take a lifetime. Thank you for the knowledge of current culture though as that's a hard to understand in writing or just in general. As an Irish/native American that has hung out with a bunch of different ethnic groups, I love trying to just figure out why people act the way they do.

Have you ever visited other countries? im a South american who now calls the US home, but i find out that every time you experience other countries/cultures, you learn even more about your own. There's no need to "finish exploring" the US first, in order to visit China, you can do both! Plus, I don't think a lifetime is enough to finish exploring either the US or the whole world. im 34 now and my goal is to have visited 28 countries by age 50, cheers

I refused a beer (that I didn't ask for/was sent over by ownee, as soon as I sat) @ Thai restaurant I've gone to for years. I refused because I became sober. Totally offended owner and he never was hospitable afterwards. ❤villages & its people- so raw & so much charm! So much better than all the gross materlistic developments & stores!

As a Chinese, I feel this hospitality really tiring sometimes. Ever since young, Our parents had it drummed into us that if someone come by, we have to serve them meals, make sure they well treated. On the other hand, if we are the visitors, we have to avoid staying over for diner and troubling the others. So never visit at dining time. The same way goes to other situations as well. And it's more of a responsibility than out of genuine affections. Not necessarily just face. I did poorly, always end up staying over dining, receiving gifts, receiving money....

Hi Winston, as always love your videos, and hope you have a great time in USA! I just wanted to say maybe consider Netflix for CSC. I've said this a couple times to C-Milk I believe + watched the show myself on Vimeo. It's just that no one watches Vimeo. Perhaps ask around in America if anyone uses Vimeo vs. Netflix. It's just the quality of your production is excellent, and Netflix could give you some really good organic reach (help it blow up).

Dear Serpentza, I have been in the same situation many times in China. In this video, I feel you are trying to make up for the previous video where you talk about what you dislike about Chinese hospitality.
