Lost in Culture
Приєднався 3 кві 2015
Hey! I am Ryan and I make videos of me exploring different cultures whilst uncomfortably over-indulging myself with food. While I am on my travels, I am using as a time for self-exploration and asking the big questions about the world! Join me on this journey of embracing culture and self-improvement.

Great post makes me think about my everyday life.
Nice! Thank you
Watching 17th September 2024 20 odd days sober feeling Good this is my umpteenth time quitting Alcohol Hopefully for Good Blackouts are dangerous
This is great to hear! Yeah blackouts are the worst, it's crazy that I used to just continue to do it even though I lost all conscious capacity to control myself. Give us a message if you need to, don't need do it alone mate
Love this man! Well done- you’ve inspired me!
@@thomasreeve8652 thank you bro, I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
Your video is really good.I like watching you bicker with each other,that‘s very funny.Lol Welcome to China.😊
Haha thank you! Wait until the next video we bicker so much 😂
Day 3 for me, this was really helpful thank you! 🙏
@@RihFlood212 keep it up! Day by day! I’m glad it has helped 🫡

Really enjoyed this one! Great to see some tradition of China! Keep up the good work bro, excited for the next drop!
Thank bro! More coming very soon!
The porridge looks like cement haha. Great video! My wife's family always tried to get me to play Mahjong, but I am not a huge fan.
I wouldn't even know where to get started but it looks like fun to me lol! I would have no idea what to do!
Nice. Great sharing. More foreigners should visit China so that lies and disinformation spread by US and West mainstream media will be dispelled.
Thank you…..
Seemed impossible, but it’s been over 2 years and I don’t crave a drop of alcohol, the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal, not even within the first 30 days, just happened after go’ogling Steffon Barkloads Quit Drinking Forever and genuinely quitting because I was a mess.
I was also a mess! Feels good to put it all behind now! Well done for doing it and keeping it up for two years!
Well done mate. Incredible maturity for a 27 year old to make such a bold change that can only be for the better of yourself and everyone around you. It takes bravery and it is the biggest act of self love you can carry out in your life. I am 41 and have struggled with alcohol for the same reasons as you. I always over did it. It was always the focus of my nights out. I struggled with social anxiety. I feared not being accepted without alcohol. For the last 6 years I have taken 3 month breaks here and there and attempted to kick the habit completely but failed. 16 days ago after another regretful night I finally decided the end had come. For the first time I am telling people I dont drink, instead of saying I'm taking a break. It takes guts and I struggle with the fomo and fear of rejection at times, but I know this decision is the key to living the best version of this very short life we have.
@@seansayer7684 it’s not easy and you are doing great for tackling the problem too. Unfortunately, not being accepted kind of comes with it but you really do learn to love it! You know the people around you are genuine. I think saying “I don’t drink” is absolutely huge. You literally have to become the person who you choose to be, that starts with the labels for yourself. I wish you the best of luck and if you need to message I am also here too! Don’t think you have to do it alone!
@@seansayer7684 thank you for your kind words too 😊
Thanks for this.
@@RiaG no problem! Are u doing ok?
Yes, thank you for asking. Been dealing with this goal for a while and have failed and tried again. Watching videos like these help me not want to go back to my old life where drinking every weekend was a given.
@@RiaG I was dealing with it for ages too. Failing is normal it’s part of the process. Each failure is a step closer! Don’t be too hard on yourself, be strict but give yourself love in the process. Brush it off and go again! You are doing great because you’ve identified the problem and at least trying. Keep going! If you need to message just give us a shout!
Thank you that’s so kind and i do finally realize that to achieve any goal you have to be okay with those L’s lol cuz they lead you to your win. It’s so interesting with drinking because i always thought it’s okay if it’s just the weekends and this last year it was wild how many times it wasn’t fun and it was just me blacking out making terrible decisions. Anyway thank you for hearing me and again thanks for the video. 💙
@@RiaG For me the blacking out was the biggest problem. It's so scary to lose control of yourself and not know what happened. Then you gotta deal with the awful anxiety for the coming days only to make the same mistake again. I told myself so many times "only a little bit" or "I can control it". I simply could not do what the rest of the world is doing, my body reacted differently. It was a blessing in disguise tbh. It's really isolating to quit that's what stops most of us but you find a bit more of yourself by the end of it :)
Ohhhh looks amazing
It was amazing !
China trully has alot of hidden gem amazing 😂🎉
@@khenghoontay5763 it’s absolutely incredible! 😂
You were hardly addicted mate, this isn’t really any help to anyone.
@@Benjipee77 you don’t know me and you don’t know what situations I’ve gotten into so… 🤐 Your comment is so much more helpful right ?
@@lostinculture how much a day where you drinking and for how long?..
@@Benjipee77 your parameters for understanding my problem are all wrong. I don’t really expect you to understand so it’s ok. Are you tryna quit by any chance, how do you find this video?
@@lostinculture so I was correct and you can’t answer. Says it all really. All the best with the clickbait
@@Benjipee77 cool brother, take it easy
Goodjob!
@@SwannyBoi thank you
👌👌👌👌
ilysm😍😍😍

Congratulations 🎉😍what an interesting topic so helpful👏❤️
Congratulations Ryan 🎉
@@nkwijtunga thank you
Well done Ryan! You are doing a fantastic job, keep it up. Hopefully you will inspire more people. 😊
@@helenlkimber5820 thank you!
Nice video! Congrats on your journey! I never thought about quitting alcohol for good. I think I have a decent relationship with it. Like you said, going to the gym, eating well, and doing things you enjoy can truly improve your life and also keep you away from alcohol. I think I have a good balance of all those things, but still enjoy a drink once in a while, especially during social events that are catered around alcohol. I’m definitely done with the days of heavily drinking, blacking out and feel like crap for a week. Keep it up!
@@HappyHourWithMatt yeah I think if you can do it in moderation all power to ya! Like you said balance is essential. I think for some of us, it has way more power over us than the average person and it becomes a hindrance! Building up healthy habits in general is the way to go to get more out of ourselves😊
Perfectly said mate 🙌🙌🙌🙌 thank you!!!!!
Life is genuinely so much better without alcohol - to anyone considering stopping, please don’t think it’s a just a cliché or a cope, there’s so much life to live and it’s amazing without booze. Ryan - you’re awesome 👊🏻
I’m glad you like the topic!
Like rap is any better.
@@RobertRitchie-re5pt clearly not getting the joke
Good comment from kind woman
11 days in, for the first time in thirty years! This is fantastic! Congrats mate.
Well done for making the first steps! Congrats to you too!💪
@@lostinculture thank you - it took forever! but I finally am on track. and material like yours is so helpful with inspiring me, so thank you.
@@theinfinitepassportTV it can be a slow process but each time you try you get a bit closer! You’re welcome but you guys are also inspiring me. Good to know we are all doing it together
Love this video❤
Thank you ❤️🙌💪
Just came across your channel im liking ur content so far😍😍keep up the good work
@@nes3923 Thank you! It means a lot❤️❤️❤️
How'd you like Changsha? This is my wife's city and I've been many times.
Ahhh man it was incredible! I love me some spicy food so it was perfect. I was really surprised when I saw the infrastructure! Btw I’ve watched your videos, your voice reminds me of Michael Cera! Great content!
@@lostinculture that’s great! Yeah their food is my favorite in China! Hahaha I actually never heard that comparison but I like it. And dude I love your thumbnails, I was going through your channel and love the style. Can you make a video on how to make them like that or share some tips?
@@HappyHourWithMatt I can tell you! Is there a way I can private message you on UA-cam?
@@HappyHourWithMatt maybe we can learn from each other lol
@@lostinculture yes for sure!
Thank you bro ❤
Well said !!!🙏❤️🤗😊🙌🏻
Looking sexy as usuall
关于神兽,你找错了图片
Thank you! It was very hard to find copyright free images of the exact pictures
Love the video, man! I am moving to China in a few weeks. I love the commentary!
Thank you mate! Which part of China are you moving to? Just saw your vids too, really cool man
@@lostinculture thanks so much! Moving to Guangzhou. Lived there before but that was during Covid so not a great experience haha.
Looking forward to more of your Chinese travel videos, your updates are too few and too slow, I like your videos very much, I haven't watched enough TT and I really like the interaction between you and your friends
I appreciate that you enjoy the videos. Unfortunately, I also work two jobs while doing this so I’m doing the best that I can.
great video, enjoy your mushroom hot pot, can't wait for the next video.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos!! 😊
Cities like Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, puer, puzhehei, so many gems In Yunnan. Besides all of those, the rest is also great.
@@canalesjuan356 sounds like I need to return to China and explore more! Thank you for the recommendations!
@@lostinculture I know you definitely will. 😉
@@canalesjuan356 hahaha seems like you know me well
I was going through a period of no alcohol just to prove to myself that i could do it. I went to the bar with a group of employees and told everyone that i can't drink. It's amazing how many times that night that alcohol was pushed in front of my face. Finally i had to leave.
@@JAMESlock1911 hahahaha, it’s actually ridiculous isn’t it? Even from people you don’t know
Massive respect mate. I currently find myself in a position of wanting to stop but not doing because it’s very much my way of blowing off steam. I get to the point end of a busy week and I want to drink, it’s definitely my vice. The annoying bit is knowing all the negative impacts it has on me, sure I’ll get there though. Take care pal
@@barryb5155 Thank you mate! Definitely worth doing 30 days and seeing how you feel. If you like it and it’s not a problem, maybe just cut down and find new hobbies to blow off steam. Drinking was really detrimental for me but I know everyone is different. Experiment, try new things, see what’s good for you!
Yunnan is indeed a good place to visit, one of the top tourist destinations in China.
It was incredible! I have never seen anything like it!
Ohhhh got some ideas for my next bbq. 😊
Scallops 😋
めっちゃ おもしろかった ですよ!
ゆめいよ
At the most im trying not to drink as much. Which im successful at so far. I used to drink a 1/5 of Jack in just afeww hours and pass out.
@@tankerboysabot good on you for being aware about the situation! Maybe you can look to decrease the amount even more! It’s up to you! Just asking why you do it might bring some clarity! Good luck on your journey mate! Wish you all the best
@lostinculture just something to relax me mostly, but these days, if I do drink whiskey, it's usually a half pint and maybe 2 or 3 beers, and I'm good to go. It's more for a buzz after work. It used to be to go to sleep. I have been trying to cut back completely, but it's not as easy as I thought it would be.
@@tankerboysabot yeah definitely not easy! It’s habitual, part of our culture and so accessible! I think the main thing is to replace it with positive habits, natural dopamine, natural ways to relax! I cut it out completely but maybe doing bit by bit is better for you. I can’t control the amount I drink so it was better to cut it out! You’ve identified and doing something about it so that’s great
Hahaha, trust me it’s worth just going for the food
Great job mate!!! I am so happy for you that you came to these conclusions at such a young age! Alcohol is poison to our body. Keep up the good work ❤
Thank you for the support! I should have done it even earlier!
It's really awesome to see one of my favorite Chinese cities. Thanks, bro! I now live in Stockholm, and most of my memories of Changsha are of food. I just had dinner on the roadside with my friends today and it was terrible.😅
@@TongMo-ps4zp Literally every meal was so good man! It’s the perfect kind of food for my palate! Maybe one day you will revisit!
