My heart breaks for the young man you befriended. All through high school I wanted to travel when I became an adult. We had vacations in western states and BC, living in Oregon. But, I longed for adventure. At 18 I married a man who also liked adventure. We stayed western for most our time together cuz he is a Vietnam vet and wanted to stay closer to home. But we wilderness camped, rock climbed, climbed waterfalls, and had motorcycles, dune buggy, snow mobile, boat, etc. Since we split in 1983, I’ve been to Mexico a few times and my ex went to Tanzania. Our only forays to other countries. Life was an adventure, even after having 3 kids. They just slowed us down some. But those kids and our grandchildren possess that same spirit of adventure. Our youngest grandchild is training for the rural volunteer fire dept with her bf. They are 18 and 17 respectively. I am so proud of them both. Their spirit of adventure drives them. Hope you can pass your great spirit of adventure to your descendants. Life is what you make it. Don and I are both “elderly” but not in our heads, lol. We are great friends and are able to join our family gatherings together with our spouses and tell stories of our younger selves. They love it. Being beset with a broken ankle, then just when that healed I broke the same leg. Don’t have a good story for it. Just fainting cuz my heart meds were off. But I discovered you and I am in love with your work while I’ve been laid up for most of a year. Would like to travel to Central and/or South America. My hubby is an archeologist and he’s into the history there. ❤❤

I woke up every Saturday morning, in Shanghai, to the sound of yelling. The neighborhood center courtyard full of people by noon who had been rounded up and forced to kneel until they could fit no more, and the buses would come to take them all away. I could look out the opposite side of my apartment and sometimes see police chasing people around, since that side of the building was a recycling area where non-Shanghainese would live and work. It was a chilling experience and after a few month and the end of my residential contract, I had to move away. I couldn't stop what was happening, and I needed some sleep.

[@kryts27]

I've read about Mongolian people. Not only are they are an independent, intelligent, practical and overall friendly and curious people, they are VERY different from the Chinese. Mongolians speak an Altaic language which is much closer to Turkic and Kazakh languages, and like these central Asian nomads, they have a similar pastoral nomadic tradition. Mongolians are Easterners but they would be culturally much closer than the Tatar people from the Crimea, very far West of Mongolia, for example than the Chinese. Mongolia was an unstoppable war machine from horseback in the 13th to 15th century and created the world's largest continuous land empire in history. Despite their ruthless militarism at that time, Mongolians were surprisingly outward looking and accepting of other Eurasian cultures and religions (provided you accepted their suzrainty).

Met a guy like you are talking about in Xinjiang, he wanted to be a tourist guide and english interpreter, his dad saw the potential with the English, and wanted him to help open a hotel/hostel for foreigners. (kid didnt want that, because he wanted to get away) the biggest problem, he couldnt even go to the school he wanted because he couldnt get travel permission from the cops. Last I checked the hostel that the family had build (on old family land,) was "owned and operated" by a Han man.

uyghurs , tibetians ect cannot get a permit isued by the government to run a hotel to foreigners i have never seen an exaple of the chinese govenrment issuing these permits to these poeple.. even among chinese outside of chinese areas it is very hard you must be a member of the communist part and active in the chinese government.. you must be chinese AND connected to the communist party.. there is whole areas of china were no foreigner can stay as there is no hotels permitted to allow this .

[@indigophoenix12]

@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 I honestly didnt know that ethnic minorities were barred from operating hotels/hostels for foreigners. It would make the family dynamics I witnessed make a lot more sense. The father seemed more to be induldging his sons dreams than hopeful. He also seemed to want to negotiate a partnership with me, (under the mistaken belief that because I was foreign I had the capital to work with him,) But as he did not speak mandarin or English, Everything he had to say to me was translated through his son. I got the distinct impression that the guy was a dreamer who wanted a better life, but his family was much more aware of the way things were/ if not the way things were headed. This was 2016? 2017? I know about the issues with finding places to stay in China, dealt with that multiple times. Found lots of very accomadating people too. Once had a guy figuratively dust off his liscense to house foreigners, he had the permit, but had never used it before. He spent a lot of extra time making sure he was dotting all his t's and crossing all his I's so he didnt get in trouble.) Yeah, guy I met was already living the life of a tragic dreamer, However, the evidence Ive found suggests that it got a lot more tragic after 2018. I hope Im wrong, but cant exactly make it back to that part of Xinjiang to find out. Im pretty sure that the house I shared dinner in with his family was incorporated into the new Han owned hostel. (Not something that family would have done if they still lived there.) It was a generational home so nothing positive would have made them leave.

[@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367]

@@indigophoenix12 yes having a permit to opperate a hotel in china needs a permit from the authorities, then there is a second very restricted licence for having hotels for foreign guests and another permit for running tours, i have never seen an example of a nonvhinese native person with a permit for a hotel, they might make a partnership with one like in tibet were there is to few chinese but even thrn generally the hotel is prohibited from renting rooms to foreign guests... Also it is not an "official" ban but an indirect one to stimulate chinese settlement in these new colonies and disposess the natives of business, it lhasa for example most hotel owners are ethnic chinese muslims moved there by the chinese government, decended from nationalist warlords troops who switched sides, the tibetians hate them and in 2008 the chineae mosque and hotels were the first target.

Butcher here, you are exactly correct about meat! Tougher meat has more flavor because they're working muscles, which get more blood flow. Same concept as dark meat on a bird. Tougher cuts ideally need either slow cooking, or proper cutting. If you slice it super thin, and ACROSS the grain, the same way as a steak (VERY important). I could slice thin, I tell you. I can turn one chicken breast into like 8 paper thin filets, so thin they were actually translucent. You couldn't hammer it after or it would fall apart lol.

Spent 6 years in China from 2016 until November 2022. Had great time there first 4 years. I totally understand these guys. You feel a bond with people and you feel sorry for them in a way. One example. This year in May when outbreak started in Shanghai and the city was completely locked down we in Beijing were having a rise in Covid cases so the government took precautions. All of the bars and restaurants were closed. We worked from home. City empty. 1st of May came. 5 day holiday. May is gorgeous in Beijing. Warm but not yet hot, sunny. Beautiful. On Saturday afternoon I texted a friend and said lets grab a few beers and just walk outside, no point being home. Lets go to Liangmaqiao, which is a beautiful 2km stroll on the banks of a tiny river running through Beijing. They just renovated it and it's really beautiful. We came there and there was thousands of people there. Enjoying great weather, families with kids, couples, elderly people. I had a feeling whole Beijing was there. People brought food, music, drinks, tents for the kids, picnic chairs, played badminton, girls doing yoga, guys working out or just chilling on the grass with book in their hands. It was melting my heart to see them so happy. They don't want to stay home, they don't want to obey stupid rules, they wanna enjoy life, have fun. I was so happy for them. It was fabulous Saturday afternoon, one of my fondest memories of Beijing. This went viral on Chinese social media and you guessed it, next weekend police barricaded whole area, left only pedestrian pathways. No gatherings of any kind permitted. I was so pissed. Chinese people are just like you and me. They want same things but unfortunately they are manipulated by their government. And hukou rule is the worst in Beijing. Anyway, I understand these guys and feel sorry for that Mongolian boy but stories like that are as many as you like in China. I went on a date with Uyghur girl who was working in Beijing for Portuguese company and moved to Portugal but after one year had to come back because they were threatening her family and pressuring them to tell her to come back. Her passport is taken away. So all of you who take your freedoms for granted, be grateful that you live where you live because you don't know how blessed you are in a way.

Interesting , I've been in Inner Mongolia for a while to do some work there , but I don't remember the name of the place . Went by plane to Tongliau airport , and from there another 2 hours by car to a place where we lived nearby a meat plant , but it was built in a former Mongolian army camp , which was occupied in 1974 or so . The cows we bought came from the Kerchin fields we were told . It was an interesting experience ! At 2100 hours all electricity was turned off in the main town , and it was possible to see a tremendous amount of starts and fast moving satellites , everything just above your head . The place where we stayed had a lot of train activity , a lot of charcoal from Russia went thru that place , 2 big locomotives pulling sometimes up to 62 transport trains . Think the name was chitta or conchiqa , something like that . We were also guarded by the guards of the place where we lived , and also by the local police . But we were doing business with important people from Peking , so we were not really bothered . We also had a Chinese translator who was afraid to translate the things we said to his superiors . For instance , we had in our kitchen old Kitchen Cabinets , and thru those cabinets there were also pipes from the heating system . The came in from a wall , but they never closes the hole in the wall the pipes came thru , and we had a rat problem . So our project leader wanted to have the problem solved immediately , but nothing happened . So he found a big hammer , and took down the rotten kitchen cabinets and threw it out of the door . The translator was in a shock , how to tell his boss , he was in big troubles he told me , because he had to explain it to his superior . Anyway , 2 days later we had a new kitchen , and the rats were gone . From that place we also had an open telephone line to outside china , and we had open internet . After a few month we went home , and we got escorted by a big black blinded car to Tongliau airport . We were very late , and not on time for the scheduled flight , but the guy from the factory told us that without their permission , the plane won't take off ! When we arrived , a lot of travelers were waiting , and we could enter the plane without even showing our passports , or weighting our luggage . The permitted hand luggage was only 8Kg for chinese people , but we didn't have any problems : the officials in the black car shouted orders , and they were carried out ! Can write many other things which happened during our stay , like the visit of a co-worker to a very professional acupuncturist , but then I could start a you-tube channel myself . . . . . . Anyway I always enjoy your episodes , especially the one about inner Mongolia . . . . .Tnx , and stay safe !

You'd be treated like a pesky foreigner now. Not like precious metal.

We had a young Mongolian visit us among the plains Indians of Montana sponsored by our church. He, at least, did get to travel. I can not convey how much of a strong kinship we felt, like a close relative:, much in common.

@8:45 Wonderful technique to have the cooking wessel from the skin and to economize fuel.

[@martinkesson4443]

I love this channel.

[@carlgranados7106]

You guys are the coolest. Keep it up Dudes

That footage of cooking the goat from the inside was so disturbing.

[@IronDruids]

That young horse was adorable. Really feeling its oats.

[@skylerdylan1005]

Looking forward to having Hukou’s in a country near you. Thanks China.

Tagged yall in a vape factory "hidden Camera" video, I'd really love to hear your reactions. it's a short with several millions of views. idk youtubes policy about links though

[@nobalkain624]

That is so sad to hear. To be trapped were you can go in your own Country, let alone go to other Countries is just sad.

[@hoddtoward]

Your tour guide seems like a nice fellow, I'm sure he won't cause any trouble 😉😏 same with your motorcycle buddy...

[@Rabbittrails4daze]

It's amazing the way you explained the minorities in this video with the comparison/similarity of the way minorities are viewed/treated by people on the left in America. You will live and die by your genealogy and ancestry- a trait that pays no merit to your aspirations or goals. Very sad for some of us as well. Soo many have no idea how good they have it or how quickly we will be in that same place where there is no longer a luxury of choice or freedom to live the way that is optimal for the individual.

The Rock monuments in Mongolia sound like thebinukshuk that the Inuit make up in the Northwest Territories

[@jakubkahoun8383]

The Mongolia looks amazing.

[@szabolcs__]

my favorite videos from you when you were in monogolia

[@robertcheetham8193]

Great video 🎉😊

[@sharonlavery7656]

That Mongolian goat cooked with the hot rocks is really ingenious.

[@Broken_dish]

the meat is probably also tough not just how its cooked but the life the animal lived they are nomadic so the animal is always moving around and eating wildlife so its probably more like eating a deer in that sense how it tough and earthy tasting where in these big factory farms the animals are stuck standing still side by side all day everyday being fed all sorts of fatty foods with all sorts of hormones' ect into its diet and gets fat and not moving so its alot more tender and fatty its also alot less healthy

[@ramieskola7845]

@14:20 That will change. In the future we are not allowed to travel without 'approved' reason.

[@ronmoore3290]

The link to your other Channel is not working ?

[@RodrigoPalma700]

Thanks.

Your motorcycle trips are superb! As for Inner Mongolia, I was there in '88, just after the snows had melted and met a travel agent who ask If I wanted to come with a group of travel agents (Mongolian) who were looking over how things would be for the tourists. This was in Hohhut. As proof this was no touristy thing, in the yurt next door the Mongolia Communist party was having a meeting. I asked If I could sit in but that was a no-no. But I still could hear them through the material walls. And then there was this wrestling match with a Mongolian wrestler. And me. We put on these leather vests and the first one to get thrown loses. And our match went on for so long. People watching got bored and left. It ended in a draw. He was in his early 20's and I was 43. But I knew a bit about wrestling. As I grew up in a place where that was the norm, plus playing tackle football with no pads. I hope some kids today get the same exercise. It does not hurt and helped me there. And that guy was good. Some kind of champion there. I have met Mongolian doctors working in Shenyang. Never thought to ask them hard hard it was to get out. That was in 2008. BTW, my Chinese wife is 35% Mongolian. Her mom is from Manchuria.
