Hey Matt, the quality of your vblog is getter better and better! I love all the drone footage and the route presentation at the end. Have a nice and safe trip!
Hi Matt, I've just started watching your channel and I want to thank you for your awesome videos. I always interested to see the development in Chinese urban/rural communities and small cities in China. Your videos have provided me with a lot of pictures and info on development of the small cities in mainland. Stay safe.
I like your 'thought process commentary' on the businesses/sites that you pass. I too think like that & we are a rare breed as my wife constantly reminds me while commenting "why do you think like that, your weird", lol. Good stuff!
My host said it the best way: Everyone is doing the same thing, we're all fulfilling the same needs. Just the way we do it differs here and there but in the end it all comes down to the same few things (love, fulfillment, happiness)
yeah this trees look like extended roots and they grow upward on walls. in Foshan where I stayed there was a big one and on the Baiyun mountaint in the temple is one as you mentioned
Great to see that you can get around this crazy "special hotels for foreigners" requirement that seemingly all hotels seem to assume even though it's IIRC no longer a thing.
those small seafood by the roadside, they probably try to dry it for preparing pig food at a later time. and dried oyster is an ingredient for their everyday cooking, thus the oyster shell mountain you saw
BUT the seafood are surrounded by a lot of flies and in the middle of the highway??? personally, i think it is just out fishmen 's choice since they are too small to get economic interests from them, but what a pity, it is kind of disrespect for these little creatures, they can set them free if they caught them.
I remember how difficult it can be to get a hotel as a foreigner. And I remember that C-Milk and Winston also had this problem while their „Conquering „ series. Make sure that the Hotels know that you are a foreigner. I think Anny can help with that. Great videos you make of China, great people you show. Your Video is the best advertisement for the real China.
I’ve seen the fish on the road thing before. Was there an elderly person just sitting nearby, most likely watching you? They’re guarding the fish. It seems the pavement is ideal for sun drying, it’s later ground up into a kind of paste. I tried it, it’s delicious but looks and smells awful
Great video as usual! I'd love to try a trike, but I am a day's drive from the nearest dealer. I also don't have the cash for a trike; I'm almost wondering if I should try to become a dealer for trikes. Don't know if there's a market for them here, but it might be worth testing the waters...
I found nothing on eBay that I could ride. I'm taller than most trikes can handle, and I'm pushing the weight limit of most of 'em. Thus I am VERY reluctant to try "mail order" products, including eBay. I never buy clothes or shoes online either - same problem.
Hey Matt, how do you do it with the registering thing for foreigners? When I was in China it was super hard to even find a single hotel that would accept foreigners and was willing to register them for the police.
@@JaYoeNation Really? I went this summer and most hotels seemed unwilling to take foreigners, or if they were they wouldnt register them which technically means breaking the law.
imagine what all that's doing to the environment...holy crap...like what that kid left on the sidewalk lol..micro and macro,...starts with a little kid taking a shit and goes up from there......love your vids Matt!...your story telling always amazes me..
I love it when you yell out a friendly *HELLO* and their reaction is to laugh as a group. Surprise? A little bit shocked? I guess you stand out in the bright colors, add contraption of a bike, and a White person. I just can’t see myself busting out laughing though at anyone that is different. Possibly I’ve been overly “P.C’d”.
“You’re gonna fucking EAT THIS! And you’re gonna LIKE IT!”😂. My mom does that with me n I avoid going home bc she literally makes me gain 5 pounds a day! That force feeding shit does get annoying!😂
Matt, Matt, Matt. Please dont ask if you can pay for the food, that just comes through as insincere. Put some money in an envelope or wrapped in paper and give it to the host.
i do that as a formality... actually... if they want to take care of my meal... im not going to stop them. In most cases they actually want too. in china... its impolite to force pay if they intend to help you out. Makes them feel good and me too.
people debt due to their unfortunate investments on real estate in recent 20 years after the IMF crisis swept through the south korea has lost the citizenship in order to runaway from the debt that the bank the concerned is endlessly pushing them to pay back the money they loaned. most of them are the educated and the middle class. afterall .some of them are selling thier body as a prostitute .i am not joking. so my opinion on this isuue. there should be the organization help them to back onto the normal life and retrieve their citizenship .otherwise the criminal ratio will definitely raise up highly enough. the rich knows the waiting till the money they put on should be increased automatically as time goes by. so there are no hurry amongst the rich but the poorer is on hurry.
more so in China than in the states. Chinese gamble a hell of lot more. plus more shady practices and no so much regulations. you could not build something like that in the states and walk away from it easily. it is called blight which most cities do not like.
Blight... A hotel near the centre of Regina, Saskatchewan was demolished in 2011 to make way for a new condo developlment. Excavation for the foundation started a year or so later. This year, the City insisted that the hole be filled in. the developer is fighting to keep the pit open, claiming that construction will restart as soon as they get funding again. One of our main intersections has been limited to 30 km/hr due to "construction" for about five years now, with no sign of the debate, the hole, or construction, ever ending. Or in the case of construction, ever restarting.

Great hospitality. They seemed really nice.

Hey Matt another informative and visually interesting offering from the Master of Ja Yoe nation. Heads up and good journeys to you. Thanks again.
I like your 'thought process commentary' on the businesses/sites that you pass. I too think like that & we are a rare breed as my wife constantly reminds me while commenting "why do you think like that, your weird", lol. Good stuff!
were are a strange breed
Super great video.
Cool to see the small town life compared to the much more bigger cities you've been to in the past.
My host said it the best way: Everyone is doing the same thing, we're all fulfilling the same needs. Just the way we do it differs here and there but in the end it all comes down to the same few things (love, fulfillment, happiness)
your stories are great the way you tell them.
yeah this trees look like extended roots and they grow upward on walls. in Foshan where I stayed there was a big one and on the Baiyun mountaint in the temple is one as you mentioned
Yea. Lots in that Area
Welcome to my hometown.YunXiao Zhangzhou
Another nice vlog. Great to see you on the road again. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the awesome work.
Great episode... you got me homesick for China again. :)
Lol yes. In China, especially the senior people will "push" you to eat more and more to show how welcomed you are.
And like every other senior people in the world, they force their young generation to eat too much too.
Great to see that you can get around this crazy "special hotels for foreigners" requirement that seemingly all hotels seem to assume even though it's IIRC no longer a thing.
those small seafood by the roadside, they probably try to dry it for preparing pig food at a later time.

Love those Trees..
Free meal. No change offer. Those fish on road side . They sun dry ?

actually... its super easy now.. just need the passport and you can stay almost anywhere.
Don't listen to those freaks. There's a reason why they're not welcomed in the country anymore.
You're not in Ningbo any more! Happy, safe travels! JaYoe!!!
Kath Bowers yes, he left again :$
You both must miss him so much! Good thing you can stay in touch even from great distance!
If you burn oyster shells you get QuickTime. That can be used to make Portland cement for concrete.
interesting.
Matt, village people have beautiful warm hearts,,,,,
Road building in China is impressive as good as their hospitality. Big road at 5:46 is empty. Build the roads and they will come.
I’ve seen the fish on the road thing before. Was there an elderly person just sitting nearby, most likely watching you? They’re guarding the fish. It seems the pavement is ideal for sun drying, it’s later ground up into a kind of paste. I tried it, it’s delicious but looks and smells awful
AAAAH... you think so? i guess i could see it would be ground up... but there was no consistency to the types of creatures.
the JaYoe Nation I think that’s why the grind it up, not enough of any one thing worth selling separately
Probably discarded food for the birds
Ground up & use as fertiliser .
Great video as usual! I'd love to try a trike, but I am a day's drive from the nearest dealer. I also don't have the cash for a trike; I'm almost wondering if I should try to become a dealer for trikes. Don't know if there's a market for them here, but it might be worth testing the waters...
N1inSK try Ebay?

I think the tree is called Banyan trees. Numerous banyan trees were planted in South of China during the Song Dynasty.
Hey Matt, how do you do it with the registering thing for foreigners? When I was in China it was super hard to even find a single hotel that would accept foreigners and was willing to register them for the police.
super easy these days... just present your passport and your good.

haha.. .well at least the shit can be organic fertilizer...
It is a figus tree close to the rubber tree family The leaves are smaller and consider as a medium size tree 20ft max for your info
thanks! so they are not banyan trees? are there any banyan?
What is the music 😁
Pond cover they farm abalone. Not cover pond with oxygen pump they farm shrimps.
They sun dry seafood for tomorrow on side roads not waste food
That tree is a fence.
👍

I honestly love it... i love the smiles and reactions... the more over the top the better. :)
这样式的自行车中国很少，看起来是个有趣的事情。The bike they never see before ,it looks funny for most people!
That was "The real China" ..... just to irritate some. What a well edited video with interesting content.
“You’re gonna fucking EAT THIS! And you’re gonna LIKE IT!”😂. My mom does that with me n I avoid going home bc she literally makes me gain 5 pounds a day! That force feeding shit does get annoying!😂
Hahah. It’s all in good intentions.
piles of shells for cosmetics manufacturers.
I think it's called Schadenfreude.
Matt, Matt, Matt. Please dont ask if you can pay for the food, that just comes through as insincere. Put some money in an envelope or wrapped in paper and give it to the host.

Don’t eat too much Malatang, it’s not good for your health
