@@ChickensAndGardening Totally agreed with you . Too many economic problems (Zero-dollar Shopping, high inflation and high unemployment), a criminal regime (that starts wars all over the world so that it can sell more weapons, bully other small countries with endless illegal sanctions), lack of rights (especially for the blacks & native Americans, who are still living in ghettos called Indian reservation)
Welcome to China. First impressions you are such a pain to watch. You always whinging and call the glass half empty. Lovely beautiful Demi saves the day for you. Thanks for sharing your experiences, and I am looking forward to seeing how you cope with the cultural shocks in China. Please appreciate all the moments you have in China.
Nice nice. Some suggestions, get a day cleaning maid come in 2-3 days a week. Get to know a gd handyman that can fix almost everything or if you can do it , get a tool box n power drill. I normally fix everything and deep clean the house at least once before I move in. And also buy whatever electrical stuff needed eg. microwave, TV , dehumidifier ( a must for GZ ) , coffee machine , sound system, mini oven , etc. Things r so cheap here you don’t need to think twice. Sometimes the fittings are below par , just change what is needed , makes life easier- like shower head , taps , coat hangers etc. I don’t even bother telling the landlord. Then your house turns into a home. Happy settling down.
lived in Guangzhou for a few months when working there. it's an exceptionally humid city. with occational typhoons, kind of wild for me tbh. I prefer the north or cooler parts inland more like sichuan yunnan or somewhere up north
Wow...Good luck, the apartment looks pretty good. I'm having a hard time adjusting my life here in China after living in the US for 12 years. How ironic LOL...as a native Chinese, born in China, is now having trouble adjusting to the culture here.
Thats really big detour, no one do that😂 there used to be direct flight from NY to China, the sinophobic US gov banned the flights, what a shame! But still, i guess through LA or Japan is better route
left North America approx 5 years ago,,,, Now I am living in Hong Kong between Taiwan ( family & relatives here). That was probably one of the best + wise decision I've ever made. America ~~SUCKS!!!!!! Period.
@@HappyHourWithMatt You know who else was born in Guangzhou and grew up in Boston? Donnie Yen, the Hollywood and Hong Kong movie star that played Ip Man, haha. His parents are both in Boston……
@@HappyHourWithMatt Ip Man was Bruce Lee’s master. Bruce Lee’s hometown Shunde (a suburban area in Guangdong province. Guangzhou is the capital city of Guangdong province). Shunde is now part of Foshan district, which was the hometown of Ip Man, Bruce Lee’s teacher. Donnie Yen played Ip Man in the “Ip Man the Grand Master” movie series. Donnie Yen’s mother is a martial artist. His father is a Chinese newspaper editor in Boston. They live in Newton. Donnie Yen also played the general in the Hollywood Mulan movie. I grew up in Brighton and then Watertown. My alma mater was Boston Latin School, haha. Now I live with my husband in Los Angeles. Enjoy your stay in Guangzhou. There are Eight Major Chinese Regional Culinary Styles, and Cantonese cuisine originating from Guangzhou (Canton is the French pronunciation of Guangdong province pronounced in Cantonese) is the most famous among them. Wonton noodles soup, barbecued pork char siu (chashu in Sino-Japanese and xa xiu in Sino-Vietnamese), roasted suckling pigs, dim sum, double skin milk, claypot rice, roasted ducks/geese are some of the most famous Cantonese dishes. Shunde is where they train Cantonese chefs. Anyways, enjoy your stay and greetings from Los Angeles…..
I know that it is extremely difficult for Americans and their allies to believe that the pollution in China isn't too bad anymore. China has many EVs in the big cities. Even fog, Americans and their allies refer to as pollution. Truth is that it's normal for any country to have fog and cloudy days. The pollution isn't that bad anymore, folks, and I ain't lying to you.
@@HappyHourWithMatt Most countries, do not give a fuck even if you die at the doorsteps of their hospitals.....So buying the adequate medical insurance is a protection for yourself.....especially in Mainland China, if you got no money then you are screwed when it comes to medical emergencies.....you cannot blame them for they are still a relatively uneven developed country.

You made the best decision
I think so too!
Would you move to China?
Not at this time, sorry. Too many economic problems, a criminal regime, lack of rights... Good luck to you.
@@ChickensAndGardening fair enough. Not everything can be perfect.

欢迎来广州定居，我是广州人，这边还有很多高科技的东西，无人驾驶出租车，无人巴士，酒店机器人，甚至是低空出租车（还在规划中）快速地铁18号线
Thank you! Where are the driverless taxis? I’d love to make a video about that.

It’s too humid for me too. I like the city, but the humidity makes going out rough. I constantly need to shower throughout the day.
How much is the rent for an apartment there? And do you pay each month or?
Do you mean in china? Or where i live in Guangzhou? My apartment is 3000rmb a month.
😀😀😀 Actually, everything is interesting to me.
Great!

It’s the same Matt, but luckily other types of coffee don’t affect him like that other one.
