A day in the life in China. I began a journey by train from London to China on 12th January 2020. My intention was to spend a year exploring the wonders of this huge, ancient and enigmatic country.. Who knew at that point i was headed to the epicentre of a Global Pandemic. Setting out on that adventure changed my life and 4 years later I am now making a home here. I am adding videos from the first journey and 18 months in China and a daily vlog of the streets of Beijing and my life here. Accompanying it is a blog you can read at www.nicholasquirkewas.com
Exploring Taipei: The Palace Museum and The 101 Tower
A late start after a late night. But noodles for breakfast followed by a bus ride to The National Palace Museum. A wealth of treasures from China. Then went to the heavens for a Birds Eye view of Taipei from the 101 Tower. Breathtaking views. Down to earth with buying glasses for Peng 3rd December 2024. #dailyvlog #travel #taiwan #taipei #exploringTaipei #busride #timelapse #timelapsevideo #aerialview #tower

Memory moment. 15th April 2020.

Memory Moment: 14th April 2020. I went in search of the treasures of the Tea Museum. It was the time of Covid and it was shut. Instead I looked at a shoe store and was driven out of the tea area by people scared of a laowai and what disease he might bring #dailyvlog #travel #cycling #beijinglife #beijing #cityrides #covid19 #gopro5black

Discovering Beijing: Eating Ma La Tang in Xidan
Переглядів 3День тому
Memory Moment. I cycled to Ping’Anli for another treatment and on my back I met Peng to try a Chinese dish known as Ma La Tan. The customer selects a variety of foods to be cooked in a soup. I asked for the mushroom based soup but got a tomato base. It’s probably why I look sour and you don’t see the completed soup. 11 April 2020. #dailyvlog #travel #bikeride #cityrides #cycling #eating #chines...

@@anniejeaneats74 thanks for watching and loving. 😀
Thanks for sharing the China Railway Museum tour!
Thank you too for watching. It was an absorbing visit. Sorry you had to watch me paint first. 😂😂
You captured the video well.😂❤
I love the music style and the great view is the best.❤
Greetings from my Uzbek Muslim heart 🙏
@@alibobo9821 greetings to you to friend.
China is so beautiful
"Hey China, I understand that you may have cultural or personal preferences when it comes to food, but I wanted to gently remind you that consuming animal products can be harmful and cruel to those innocent creatures. With the abundance of delicious and nutritious fruits, vegetables, and plant-based options available, it's easier than ever to make compassionate choices. Animal agriculture not only causes suffering but also contributes to environmental degradation and resource depletion. Let's explore the wonderful world of plant-based cuisine together and make choices that promote kindness, sustainability, and well-being for all beings!"
@@man08839 Thank you for your comment. I am not sure why you are writing this. I am a vegan and any food that you will see in these videos are not meat products. you are preaching to the converted.
@@1verisimilitude it's probably just a bot
@@jamesbraveboy Thank you. I think you are right. After all, I am not China.
😂😂😂😂
Great
This is a great video, it's beautiful.👍
@@시커먼선생Mr.Blackman thank you. It’s a great to have these memories.
Great video. Well done.👍 I'll watch it.
@@시커먼선생Mr.Blackman i appreciate your kind words
😂❤
Thank you for watching and enjoying. When I watch this now I laugh at, but also love the lack of stabilisation the GoPro5 Black had. At the time I thought it was brilliant.
@@1verisimilitude Yes, that's right. At that time, GoPro 5 was the best. The Kyoto scene was impressive and I was so impressed, so thank you.
Hello, I analyzed your UA-cam channel and found some problems.That's why your channel subscribers and views are not increasing. Can I identify problems with your channel?
Nice music choice
Very cool. I will be posting some more in the days to come
Japan seems like such a cool country to travel to!
I can't believe how restrained I was.
Love it padre!
@@TheM8u I particularly like the upside down moments! How did I allow that through.
Can not believe it’s been almost a year already!
