    Great to host Trevor and great to highlight the art of food of Uyghors and by the way that sheep head is so delicious and popular in the entire region of Middle East . Also the Pilaf with lamb is very popular in Saudi Arabia and considered one of the top dishes in my country. Thanks Josh again for sharing

    Hi there! I'm really happy there's a youtuber who is really showing and introducing my hometown!! I'm a student from Urumqi, I'm studying in France now, It's just really surprising to see that finally some good and nice images and introductions of my hometown.. I want to make some videos like this too,I will come back this summer, If you have time and want to know something about the life style and the traditions of the mongolian people who live in Xinjiang, maybe we can do some videos about it !! I don't know if you are avaliable or not though...
    I'm really excited about going home already, I hope that I can do some helps to better introducing my province!!

    This was THE content that I was looking for. I trying to watch an interview with The Food Ranger for quite some time now. I wish you had asked about his background. How he ended up traveling the world tasting street-food, how he learned to speak Chinese, what his family and friends think about his lifestyle, how he met the camera-girl etc.
    But it was a good interview.

    He's right - chatting to street food vendors is a great way to get to know local people in your destination and see their passions. I couldn't handle those lamb heads! China is a country I'm yet to explore, but one day!

    Xin Jiang literally means New Territory. Unlike the way Americans did to local natives, Chinese have chosen a positive but time-costly and high-risky way of assimilation. The procedure is on the way and still can not assure its success.
