"had to steal her away from her man"
what a classy guy...
The usual stuff...
If your girl gets stolen she ain't the one for you man. The guy did the lad a favor
That what happened with my Colombian wife, had to steal her away from the local dude she had
'I'm a white South African. If a day went by without someone calling me racist, I'd think it was strange. I'd feel empty and hollow inside if people took away my birthright like that' Absolutely priceless.
Michael McBain Pretty sure any white people who live in Africa have good reason to be racist.
Michael McBain seems to me the blacks in Sourh Africa are the racists.

It's odd how the people who live in an area react negatively to people that invade and occupy their homeland or come there as a result of the occupation to exploit the land/people/resources in a hostile fashion and quickly reach the point where they feel hatred towards said occupiers. Whites are SOOOO mistreated, misunderstood and oppressed. All we wanted from the people in places that we decided to colonize was to do all the grunt work of resource extraction, prepare them for export and load them into transports/ships for little to no pay, duplicate that labor model in other places we needed cheap labor, do so with a smile on their face and to appreciate/thank us for the opportunity when nothing of value was left and we decided to pack up and go repeat the process somewhere else. Seems like not too much to ask in exchange for giving them the gift of "civilization" and letting them know where their place in the cultural and geopolitical hierarchy was. Most people have to pay a lot of money for the opportunity to get an education like the one we gave to the non European people of the world for "Free". You're Welcome!!!
TRAGIC!!!
LOL! That's such a strong come back... (Psst, not really. Pretty weak, actually.). Also, it does nothing to diminish the facts presented and the point made. But then again, you're dealing with all the oppression and racial animus being hurled your way by the people your country colonized and exploited, so you probably were too distracted by that to come up with anything on topic or relevant in any way. So go off and be a SJW for your people and their cause. Impressive how you're out there fighting the good fight so that they can keep all the ill gotten gains from it without having to acknowledge enjoying the benefits that come from those gains makes you complicit/accessories after the fact if you don't except the responsibilities that come with it. Also, it's very important that those people benefiting without taking any responsibility not have to be subjected to the truth and be made to feel uncomfortable about any ugliness and/or cruelty in their ancestral history. THEY are the victims,after all...
TRAGIC!!!
Gotta keep your mom entertained.
You look like sign language translator in bottom right corner

He's African. He has no idea how much of the Africaness is showing on him. 😂
The suit dress code constantly, and the way he speaks and moves his hand so much, and he also looks younger than he is like an African man. Not like a white European man. I honestly thought he was 26-27
I wish we had many more men like Winston in this world! Carry on young man!
If you made a "Nonsense" T shirt, i'd buy it! 😆

@@AdventureTimeWithAsh .I love BJ
I love Beijing
I really really love his video, he speaks truth . To be honest, I thought like others that he was racist and only talked about negative things about China , but after I watched more and more his videos , I felt he is great guy , and negative things he talked are truth which I have to accept, and think deeply why and how Chinese social being like the ways he says .
Yes, China has many bad things.
But China also has many good things, and it's important to realise that we are ALL just people, regardless of where we come from.
People who say only good things or only bad things about other cultures/countries are racists/ignorant.
It's important to fully understand all aspects of foreign societies. And learning about foreign societies can help you to learn what your own faults are, which may not be easy to perceive unless you interact with foreigners.
I learn from Chinese culture everyday. I’m native from San Francisco so mostly influenced from Southern China but now we have lots of Mandarin speakers. I currently do a driver job like taxi/Uber/Lyft and enjoy my Chinese customers allot and they tip me almost every time, very cool, but I LIKE Chinese people... why not? Hehe. Other drivers do t get many tips and my black friend got zero tips from Chinese... maybe some racism BUT ALSO my black friend never gave extra service and felt like a slave to put in the full service so why can a Chinese tip for not a good feeling?
Anyways just want to comment on your comment to shore up relations as many Chinese & European / Western people have genuine affection/interest.
My started in Bruce Lee as a hero I looked up to, then the classical art and food of China... eventually now it’s grandmas n grandpas at my local gym with good advices and healthy Qi Gongs...
Anyways I’m passionately in Western Spiritual Systems & Wellness but continue to appreciate “playing” Kung fu, and some Chinese Classical period dramas.
serpentza Strange, the first thing a Chinese aquantance asked me when I mentioned I had watched a video about China was: "What does he say about China? Is he critical of [my country]?" Not interested in watching yourvids, even though married to a non-Han. This person now has citizenship in a Western country, but is Chinese first - does not approve of any criticism of the home country, or CCP. Odd, in my opinion.
Good balanced comment.
Talking "negative" or simply pointing out cultural facts about another country is not a definition of racism. Racism is when you commit an act to deprive someone of the same rights, access or opportunities you would give to yourself or other people who you do not discriminate against. It's extremely bad when you use the "racist" accusation against people in Western countries. It's the worse thing you can do. Think of something that is the worse thing anyone can do in China - that's similar to accusing someone of racism in the West.
I dated a Chinese guy in SA years ago. His parents never spoke English in my presence for the entire two years, despite being fluent. They had all their friends constantly making me aware that they did not approve and wanted us to break up.
Awful
Susan M You should consider yourself luck that you didn’t end up marrying him. His parents obviously didn’t approve or like you. Secondly, your bf had no guts to stand up for you by telling his parents to knock it off. In Taiwan, people call that kind of guys “mommy’s baby.” You should thank your lucky stars.
Susan M What's the matter with they didn't speak English? You mean they could but they didn't?
@S. Lucas mummy's boy
Susan M that’s going on with me right now. We’ve dated for 2 years and his parents/ grandparents like me but my parents don’t like him 😂😂 they also don’t speak any English except from ”拜拜” （Bye bye)
14:07 ...dude walked by and thought you were crazy, Never even realized you were talking to a camera.
same at 9:00
I think the lady he was with pointed out the camera at the end.
You are quite an elloquent guy, I understand how you could qualify to tutor English even without the teaching credentials.
I'm a Chinese myself, I've been watching few of your videos & I've been trying to understand which part are you being racist, apparently I couldn't find any so what's with viewers calling you a racist? Or they just simply can't accept some truth like a man.
Thanks mate, I appreciate that
serpentza Cheers Winston, keep doing wutchu doing! 👍
I didn’t get any racist impression at all either it’s probably a minority who think that.
I found your vids by accident after being recommended videos regarding avoiding being scammed I subbed and will try to watch the rest of your vids when I have time.
Totally unrelated side note I’m from Hong Kong and tried to pick up your accent without looking it up... for 2 seconds I thought it was New Zealand but then I took a guess on South African... it’s an accent that usually throws me off cause I have to rely on South African sports as my reference
Keep the videos coming. Take the criticism with a grain of salt.
@@corsairegg Please explain, I'm very interested. What were those videos and what was racist in them ?
I'm English. It really annoys me when white S. Africans would like the ability to live in England but they can't. England gets a tonne of immigrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Jamaica and they have never been good immigrants in general. Get a lot if Indians too and they are good in general.
Yet people that were English a couple of generations ago, they would integrate very well because the culture is almost the same, and are actually being oppressed in a foreign land, aren't allowed to come here.
Glad to hear that someone can understand our frustrations, thanks mate
Blame your government.....oh wait.....you already did. Maybe they can introduce rules to accept people who can prove they have British ancestry
Master Chief The left won't bring them in because they want to bring in left voters only and destroy British culture. The right won't bring em in because they are terrified of being called racist and there are bigger fish to fry for less flack. The right are just cowards, if you're right you're right to hell with the slander campaign the media throws at you. Trump and Brexit prove that.
I guess the government would love to take white South Africans but if they loosen the immigration guidelines for ZA citizens then those would be valid for ALL of them including the poor black population that would then flock en masse to the UK. Of course they could tweak it and say "University Degrees only" to weed out most of the unwashed masses. Maybe with Brexit changes are coming.
David Westernall more believable than most of these 6ft5 bearded 8 year olds
" I had to steal her away from another guy she was dating." Whooa, your morals ain't so high either. : )
I watch your channel because you don't ask people to 'subscribe' and 'hit that bell icon' like every other sheep. It expands my mind also frankly I like the tone of your voice and your demeanour is refreshing. Keep up the staying awesome!

wtf thats a new one
Biao Wang I just had to thumbs up that one.
Cope3am no lol
That's a good one. Lmao 😂😂
If I'm being honest mate, you have made me love the U.S.A more, because if people come here through the legal process they are American. I guess this might be my own personal point of view.
Im a Middle Eastern American, I always tell white Liberals that America is the least racist country in the world.

I love this video. My son decided to go to China because he wanted to do something extraordinary with his life before going on to uni. He had fantastic grades and his choice of schools but, he'd been sick for nearly all of grade 11 and 12 and so missed out on a ton of stuff. I was scared to death given his health issues but, he really felt determined to challenge himself. Ended up staying in China for almost 5 years, came home fluent in Mandarin and traveled all over Asia. So no, not all are "losers" some want more world life experience. Not everyone wants to do the boring path of school, marriage, regular job. He's a paramedic in Toronto now.
Loser back home or LBH is becoming a big problem over there. But those are the ones who become stale and do nothing with their life because they can't get jobs back home.
Why is marriage boring? Is being a cum dumpster the only way you can feel your life is exciting?
@@dwillbecancelledsoon4086 This person says one word and *that’s* what you focus on? Sad.
@@rubyy.7374 Yeah sure, there's wars and massacres going on around the world, but what is really sad is that an internet comment addressed something a whammen said!
If I typed a whole essay and then just ended it with "...and that said, we also need to gas the jews", I bet you'd focus on one word too. Sad :(
I am an ABC. I want to thank you for your words near the end of the video, they are very helpful and inspiring to me. Even in America, where I've lived my whole life, there are times where I feel I do not belong, with people around me labelling me all sorts of things. It is a conscious effort every day to remind myself not to be ashamed of who I am. I plan to travel to China soon as a tourist, where I hope I am not ostracized too much for my lack of understanding of the language and culture (I'll look pretty dumb to the natives!)
I feel you...I'm a Korean born raised in the US, not fully accepted by either culture. We should form our subgroup because we do have a unique perspective that I think a lot of people are envious of...
I have a sad story for you. At a school where I worked in northeast China, one of my fellow teachers was a young Canadian girl whose parents were Chinese from Vietnam and had immigrated to Canada after the Vietnam war. She was born and raised in Canada and saw herself only as Canadian, not as VNese and definitely not as Chinese, as that origin was many generations prior. She had a terrible experience, for the students assumed she was returning to the motherland to help the motherland grow, which meant nothing to her, as she was there for the same reason as all the rest of us: a foreigner going there for the job opportunity. When they finally realized that they kept calling her a traitor for turning her back on her motherland. If anything, her parents' motherland was VN for many generations. She broke down and quit after one semester. China has an odd view of overseas Chinese. They are always considered Chinese but in a twilight zone status of questionable or unknown motives. On the one hand they are sometimes seen as unpatriotic for abandoning their motherland, but they can also be seen as a window to the outside world, with which Chinese tend to have a love-hate relationship. When I was in China my first time back int he 80s, everything that required buying a ticket, such as admission and transportation (bus, train) had a three tier system posted. A low price for Chinese nationals, a much higher price for foreigners, and a medium price for overseas Chinese. I don't think that people in China realize how many people have left and continue to leave China over the past century, but they feel both insulted and jealous about it. The longer that many Chinese stay abroad the less emotional connection they have with China as a country and society, as opposed to the nostalgia of the identity, especially of they have difficulty fitting in. If you go back and can't speak the language, they won't know what to think of you, like a lost soul. I do recommend at the very least to do serious language study before you go there. And if you do go, don't take things too seriously or try to explain much. I find that people there tend to live in a bubble and just cannot comprehend certain concepts, because of the state propaganda, and education and media, so don't try.
You never cease to come up with relevant material. Great video man!
justin kleynhans yes . It's more natural. I like his video very much and jealous of her wife lol
Racist!

Hello my name is Christopher I just want to thank you for putting in such great videos I really enjoy watching them they're very entertaining very educational interesting you're a lucky man to be able to travel and see new things you seen thanks again
WAS REALLY disappointed the dude didn't say "stay awesome!" when he walked away ......
Love your videos. Pleasent tone of vice and loads of interesting information. Thank You. Keep doing it please :)
I like how you just took a moment to brag about your wife. Its pretty sweet
Exactly.
She's beautiful and intelligent I would brag too!
he kinda bragged about a lot of things like his ex. which i dont get why he needs to prove it.
MrWalker1000 it's not bragging if you back it up
kingomar69 aahhh ? yeah it is I mean I don't think he was bragging but just because you backup a statement doesn't mean you're not bragging or showing off but I don't think he was doing either in this video he just stating facts because of things people were calling him setting the record straight so to speak
Thanks for doing this .... you are a intelligent guy ..... a delight to listen to ....
Just want to write that I'm enjoying your videos. For two decades, I had my own biz in a very small, Japanese town (still have residency); Fukushima forced my family's hand. Went to graduate school and am now a "professional" in my home country. What a miserable existence being back. I dream of that small, dirty town and its culture every night. Anyhow, I highly recommend that everyone tries the expat life; it truly changes you for the better. Problem is: once you go, you're ruined and can never settle with home again! Thanks, Serpentza.
Mate have only recently started watching your vids. Love your work, I think yourself and the abroad in Japan channel give a fantastic and balanced insight into parts of Asia, and it makes me very keen to visit and maybe live in Asia at some point.
I feel cheated because I wasn't welcomed to another video!!
I hang my head in shame, because I did not notice. :(
I'm here to help.
"WELCOME TO ANOTHA WEEDIO!!"
For real, Winston, I like your old videos with your wife's introduction and the intro music the best!!!
Wanted to add, seriously you should do a poll from your subscribers, and ask us if we like your old format better than your current styles.

Thumbs up if you are a Laowinner and not a Laoloser!
Great video Winston, super helpful explanations of these terms. We all have to deal with this stuff here.
Snowbear can u speak it?
Nice insight shining light on small niche group issues that exist. It was informative but maybe don't take it so much to heart or personally. Parts of it sounded like a rant, defensive, and parts arrogant or condescending. You and Winston should do your own thing and try not to pay much attention to the negativity, it comes with success. By all means, give your personal perspectives but try to keep it positive instead of trying to justify what you do in a defensive way. Sometimes self deprecating humor/comments can enhance your content. You guys don't need to polarize your audience in order to grow. Cheers!
laowhy86 We're all losers in general there is no escape from the inevitable doom we live on this earth. Eat more Arbys
laowhy86 hi c-milk
We white people will always be losers. That is why I would never have kids with a white female. I would want an Asian wife so my kids will be 50% homogeneous. Meaning my kids will have at least a 50% chance in life. The rewards and benefits of being Asian, especially Chinese are so awesome. I hate being white and now I wish I was Asian.

lekker bezig
As a Chinese, I hope you not to feel too "negatively" about people post nasty comments on your video. Three points I want to make here, 1: they put bad comments on almost everything online, you name it, political figures, celebrities, countries, and your home town in china. ( Shanghai, Henan, Dongbei etc) But in real life they may not be such a dick, can be a perfectly normal guy, I guess internet is and has been used as a emotional trash can for this fast urbanising and changing society. 2: Let's face it China had fall behind and bullied and discriminated by Westerners not too long ago and the prejudice and misjudgement regarding china and chinese people still very common today. Thus a lot of Chinese people are extremely sensitive for a westerners to say bad things about china. Although themselves may have said worse things about china anyway. 3: Chinese culture makes people have strong group identity instead of as an individual. Therefore, when you say something about particular individual or group, they will immediately relates to themselves feeling insulted or proud depends on the contents. This is not to defend the nasty comments though, just want to let you know it is not particularly about you or against you personally.
Huo Tianxian this is an interesting comment. I also like how he pointed in out in America you get the same thing. it's a bit more evident in china but the same things still happen
That's because China and the US are similar at some point. They are both Culture State.
Don't know who puts bad comments but if Chinese people posting bad comments about other people for what ever reason no matter how lame the other person insults. It is not a misjudgement but a representation of who they are and how they're representing their own country. For anyone who defend a bad guy view but not questioning the bad guy's attitude and the whole context of the case is not really justified even on the internet. A sensible Chinese person would never have ever resort to physical or verbal violence if they as a whole nation want peace.
This is why arguments stays at home in China than in public and highly common on their difficulties and background, but in practice, it is easier said than done for some people to bring problems to other people.
China cannot blame another if they self-inflicted upon themselves. However, they do in most cases in China, when there are insurance, frauds, scams and other situation. It is extremely common for Chinese people to point finger at someone even if they're Chinese.
When a westerner is in the picture, it would make sense for a culture to redirect their attention to someone who are stereo-typically unaware on native experience, Chinese culture and history. You don't see a lot of white born raised in China that knows more Chinese history and culture than Chinese people, but trust me, they are very few and exceptional knowledgeable.
Overall, this is why it is acceptable and common in China to do this but unacceptable outside China or to people with different backgrounds or skin living or working in China.
罗一鸣 It depend's how you define Culture State because China may have views who believe in Confucianism, Maoism, Taoism, etc. US does share small traits but on the whole, it is different.
This is why you see agreements between two countries and other times you see many disagreements.
Yeah, I'm an internet troll myself as well. lol no shame.
I'm a Chinese student currently studying in East of Canada.
I have the experience of encountering people over reacting or just simply being rude. Had young people driving by and called me a f*cking Asian. (No bad feelings coz I am)Had old lady tell me the story that she visited China.
I think the ignorance ideas of people is often caused by lack of exposure. Most people who have learned tiny bit of my culture will act surprisingly kind and understandable.
Same as China, by banning UA-cam or any kind of main stream media, China has incredibly low exposure towards other culture which creates the ignorance.
I personally enjoyed my ethnicity coz I can make jokes and laugh about it.
Embrace the difference will simply make things easier I think.
Hopefully it will get better.
CHINGCHING OUT
I wish people had the same sort of mindset as you. People these days get too easily offended over increasingly smaller, harmless and otherwise meaningless things. Most of what people say is racist is actually due to ignorance or curiosity, not actual racism.
That's unfortunate because many Chinese people haven't gone overseas for many reasons. Canada is partly French speaking part so they have a culture of people in Britain as English speaking, and France and US.
You are better off in Vancouver. A lot of Chinese people there and more friendly and aware of the diverse cultures.
That's true by many Chinese doesn't have the chance that go oversea and study. It's also sad by seeing a lot of my Chinese friend having trouble or do not want to emerge other cultures. We have a such modest culture after all.
Planning to find a job in Toronto area later on, I would die to live in Vancouver tho(simply can't stand the cold :\)
+Drake Guo Wrong. These people will never change. Racism and hatred is instilled in its country. You let these foreigners come to your country, you welcome them with open arms and treat them as if they were gods. They take advantage of that as weakness and make fun of you and rape your women and then insult your culture and traditions because it is different than their own. If the Chinese people will unblock UA-cam and Google, China will see EXACTLY what these westerners think of them and that welcoming will no longer be welcoming. And the second you (Chinese) come to their country (America/Europe/CAN/AUS), they will spit at you, make fun of you and insult you. That's the truth. Gweilo.
Drake Guo as a Chinese student too in Canada, I totally agree with you. ChingChing Out... haha nice one
This is brilliant. I have no words.
12:15 the timing of that with the junkie walking behind you is impecable hahah

Thanks mate
ill health stops me from travelling but watching you in all your vids gives great pleasure ,liked the suits vid,please tighten the the tie and perhaps bit of subtle colour,hope you get peace from the jackhammers,perhaps more bike trips off main rds,visits to factories.thank you all at home.
I'm not even interested in visiting China, but your videos are so fascinating that... well, suffice to say that it's 3 a.m. almost here and I've been been watching your videos with such interest that I barely noticed how fast time passed. Thanks for having the courage of being yourself and showing such strength. Most people can't possibly imagine how hard it is to do what you're doing. You're a brave person and a great individual. Keep up the good work.
It’s a pleasure mate, glad you like the videos
The same has been happening to me, and been sharing like crazy the most interesting ones
I’ve been married to a Chinese girl now for 36 years but in all that time I’ve only spent one month in China. Watching some of your videos it’s opened my eyes to behaviour and cultural differences that I never understood before or more likely never took the time to understand. Especially within her Chinese family so much of the things you’ve posted have struck a chord. Great videos!
This is a huge amount of wisdom, very well presented and logically expressed. As a former Expat I can only agree. Thanks :)
As someone who lived in China for 7 years I can definitely identify with this video. I always hated people saying that you were a LBH for wanting to come out and teach English. Teaching ESL is NOT an easy job and most companies that I worked for in China did not let teachers fuck around and do nothing, they expected results. I worked very hard as an English teacher and while I did it for way too long, it was fun and satisfying and I enjoyed it a lot. That being said I did know many English teachers that did not take it seriously and only wanted to come to China and find "easy" girls, get drunk and party etc. While partying in China is indeed very fun it was not my primary reason for wanting to come there. I wanted to learn Chinese, which I did very well.
Didn't you marry beer girl as well? So that's two Chinese gals you married. Being critical of China automatically gets you labelled as racist by some who can't tell the difference between criticism and racism, but far as I can tell, you see fairly balanced about your positive takes on China and the things that strike you as negative.

You should check their education materials they read about what foreigners are to them. It is interesting to see for yourself.
Snowbear I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't merely echoing the echo chamber and running with a narrative fallacy of his critics. Meaning, could you provide links to his videos and the times he's roughly handled his critics?
You can message them to me directly, as youtube tends to eat links as spam.
He's got quite a few videos. Could perhaps give the title and rough time frame of one specific video that displays an overall trend on his part?
It's interesting how two people can have the different impressions on just about everything. I saw the suit video and took it as he started wearing the suit because it made his job easier and he got better treatment.
The doctor video didn't show him trying to teach medicine or train them to be doctor. He seemed to be pretty upfront about his job and how he goes about it.
At least, that is how I perceived those videos.
Love your videos! Just subscribed! I’ve lived in china since 2000...Frankly....you echo most of the thoughts I have had in my mind for a long time👍
I think people calling you racist don't know the difference between to be racist and being honest.
First of all they should define what specifically means racism and being racist in 2018.
If it means being for or against any racial groups our his own racial group.
And the difference between hatred speech and anthropologist's speech, because races and ethnicities and cultural values, IQ are not equals from a country to another.
Anti-racism was the main asset of catholics'Church and in URSS spreading, Capitalism has been anti-racist too since the end of the segregations laws in USA and UK.
Maybe bringing a contribution for antiracism or multi-racial societies' propaganda makes wealthy who joins it, hollywood, anti-defamation league are one the best example.
These people who call people racist like a gunslinger pulling a gun are full of shit! How can he be racist when hes married to a Chinese national. People call me racist for voting for Brexit yet I had a black girlfriend, and I prefer Asian women.
Did you get this jamaicans' girl just because she is black or because you had a crush for her ?
If you are a native english and white, you must not be ashamed to defend your fatherland.
You can vote for BNP, read Oswald and Diane Mosley's books, keep the boss at home Davman.
Fuck Maggy Thatcher and long live to Enoch Powell.
yes indeed
They call whites racists.
131k subscribers for a Chinese Chanel from nothing says it all.
i remember watching him when he only had a few thousand subscribers. i lived in china for 2 years as a student so could understand his perspective and he put out some interesting videos. didnt expect the channel to grow so much though. good on him
I'm from Canada. Your videos are really interesting and eye opening. Keep making them. :)
Dear Winston, your videos are very interesting. Thank you so much for your effort and do not let you push down by some strange persons!
I’m also living in China and one day a Chinese asked me where I’m from, I said from Colombia and the guy told me, oh so you are from Europe.... 😂 I explained him about South America and then he told me something about some Colombian miss universe who looks European, and after that I was totally lost hahaha
varick wettlaufer that’s cool! Yeah Colombia has several social problems but still it’s a lovely place, I would recommend you to go now, it’s more safe, improve in so many aspects. So welcome again hahaha
Dude, i'm from northern europe, totally white as ice cream, and almost all chinese kids on the street ask if i'm Korean xD They think Korea is where all foreigners come from, they dont understand that they also look asian xD Cute kids.
Enrique Castro if you're Colombian you are 45% European.
@pretty fly for a wifi Have you ever been there?
Jajaj, te afirmo esta realidad, yo cuando vivia en China que es donde nací, tampoco sabia donde estaba Colombia, es que como alli hay pocos latinos, la mayoria de los chinos no hemos escuchado de ningun fuente dónde está Colombia, hasta que llegué a españa, de repente me enteré de que los paises como Perú, Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina,Chile están en sur de Ameríca.
Long live to serpentza and laowhy86. Thanks for changing lives and torn down cultural barriers.
i really like your videos, i'm getting to understand a bit more about different cultures and your topics and discussions really helps thanks
Good job Wisnton, i love to watch your video all time, and share with my friends.
A: "I do not like the bread in China."
B: "How can you say that and criticise a part of our culture?"
A: "I just don't like it."
B: "You are a racist."
+Peter Kroll exactly! And their bread does suck
Support from China!
My wife does not like German Sauerkraut. She is not a racist.
This growing sensitivity to very minor criticism, this is becoming a huge problem.
BTW. I solved the bread problem by baking my own. It's easy with a bread maker.
I did not know there were bread makers.. I will have to look into it. Always having freshly home made bread would be amazing.
SweetLily, Nothing beats the smell of real bread, not that junk they sell you in China.
Mildea bread maker, it's ok mall.midea.com/category?id=10048&mtag=40003.5.10048 . Some of the best are Panasonic bread makers.
your wife is beautiful, and you are NOT racist
I love your videos. I was a TEFL Teacher in China (Wuhan) and Taiwan so know a little about this. Wish I had a kept a blog for all the countries i had travelled to. Avoided getting hitched because it would have led to childbirth like it did to some of my friends. Just wasn't ready for all that.
HI Winston, have just found your blog, have just spent four hours watching your videos,so well made,and I can relate so much to then,as I am an English Expat living in Thailand with my Thai Wife for seven Years now, Thanks again.
Hello Winston, love the videos!! This one specially clicked with me, because i am a Chinese born in Latinamerica + America-college-educated.
I have been all over the place, and can attest that identity crisis is part of immigrant's children young adulthood.
The past few years i have lost my interest in China, because learning the language is frustrating if you are not surrounded with the right people.
You and C-milk have re-sparked my interest in China. Conquering northern China was awesome!!
Their just racist losers Don't listen to them Serpentza i enjoy your videos. I always look forward to your videos always interesting one day i will visit you i will treat you out when am in China. To bad still working but someday if you still live in China.
I love your videos!!!! Very informative
I saw your videos a while back... but your channel got lost in my long list of subscriptions, but (luckily) re-discovered your channel and I have been thoroughly enjoying your content.
Love that dude cycling right in front of the camera ThugLife in China lol
And immigrant and expats are two factually different things...only liberals use that silly argument..
TimmacTR Right. An expat is more closely associated with emigrant. Though an expat may not necessarily become a lifelong emigrant of just one country. It literally just means that they are living abroad from their home country.
Yeah I mean expats are ex-pat (-riated) meaning their "patry", their "fatherland", is away, and they usually plan to return there some day, not stay here for their whole life.. (unless "a wild chinese waifu appears" event takes place of course)
"Immigrant" is supposed to go in to adopt that nation as his new own nation, you know, the original american dream etc..
It's always so fun to hear liberals use that argument on tv or whatever, I would love to have one use it when I'm around to give them a little etymology lesson..
nice explanation, but, please, keep your fucking politics out of this channel.
+DoomSabbatH Thanks for sharing your feelings but no thanks.. xD
your channel is so great to raise our awareness about so many thing whether its in china or somewhere else
really thanks for that
Once again a very thoughtful and well explained subject your addressing of these issues is very honest. Many thanks, Keep up the great work
"Losers back home" changed history by not staying home. I really hate this internet resentment rhetoric. Not healthy to pay too much attention to. Just live your dreams and if being an expat is that, go for it. You aren't losing at life at all doing that.
Aossic Freud Right! What's the alternative, they should stay at home and be nothing their whole lives? It's probably used by jealous, insecure people. People that need to put others down to boost their own success or lack of.
Wow, the way you put that really put it into perspective. If wondering westerner didn't leave Europe, the world would be so much different.
It's a little different. Most "losers back home" come from developed, first world countries, not poor places with no opportunities. As for Serpentza, he comes from SA so I don't know how good his prospects would have been there.
""Losers back home" changed history by not staying home."
You mean like the colonials?
dot For example. Got a problem with that?
You have an awesome channel here man, I've been watching your content for days now, and honestly I'm hooked. You talk about meaningful things like in this video in a comfortable conversational format, but most importantly you just communicate really well. Thanks for taking the time to really do this job well and I know your having a great time doing it. I have never had too much interest in China in particular but my wife and I do want to visit to see the painted hills country so thanks for all the insight you have given us for our future adventures. Stay awesome!
Love learning about other cultures. Glad I found your channel.
I Love all your videos Winston I think you and Matt and your wives are great. I look forward to watching much more did you and Matt finish the southern China and where can I find the videos I would very much love to watch them. Thanks and Stay Awesome!!!
Love your videos, i find it helps me understand China and Chinese people. Thanks, stay awesome
People like you are bridge-builders between peoples and cultures. Those who depreciate that are maybe just ignorant or jealous. Thank you for doing your very interesting videos. Good job !
Winston, your videos are absolutely wonderful. Living in Australia it is absolutely fantastic to be exposed to such a contrasting culture. I am so glad that you and C-milk have provided me with this opportunity to learn.
Your videos are so good, when I was 13 I'd watch a guy called mordeth13 do motorcycle vlogs in Taiwan. So glad to find someone similarly honest on China. This is coming from someone who watches China LiveLeak videos and often believes that it's just a "socialist shithole" and doesn't hold promise despite its negatives. A 20 minute video from you on China is so easy to watch and brilliantly informative and mind-changing.
nice pfp
For one continuous shot, that was impressive.
Dude you're awesome! Stay Winston!
taipeitaiwan10 taiwan's china
Watched lot's of serpentza videos but this one was brilliant. Lived in Germany for a few years and Spain for a couple. This really helped me to understand some of the stuff i've been through. Really ery helpful. Quite emotional to be honest.
Love it ..... like your openess..... and honesty ... ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
I like your videos. You are up front and explain the good and bad.
Being honest but you can hear the pride of your adopted country.
I really like your videos. I watch to learn about china and your experience there. Please keep making more :)
love the bit when you talk about your wife hahaha, you are really amazing , can't believe that i watched your videos from the beginning till the end each time.
I am new to this channel and I find it informative. I am an American living in Malaysia and I find what you say in this video quite true. I really like it here in Malaysia,but sometimes it can be quite frustrating. Keep posting the videos and I'll continue to watch.
How do chinese people access these videos? is it just assumed they are using a vpn?
Yes, many of them uses proxy website.
You got it. I managed to reply you using an open source tool. It is getting much much harder for us to circumvention the GFW, Fxxk that.
Dem Nisbet I’m a Chinese and I’m reading ur comment bruh
Dem Nisbet there are so many Chinese people outside the country
yep, with some IT savvy, cost and effort, some Chinese people do enjoy the real internet - better than normal Chinese people and non Chinese. They enjoy benefits of real internet (maybe a little slow and inconvenient) and China Intranet, ironically.
First of love your channel. Long time subscriber. Though I have never been in the position to travel, your insights and unbiased commentary if china has been extremely enlightening. I have learnt so much in relation to understanding attitudes and chinese customs. I have found this very useful in australia. Oh and first I thought you were sitting in front of a green screen until the lady walk in front of you. Thank you for all your efforts.
I've watched a couple videos now and I love the way you talk about your wife and I also love that you leave little bits in the video like that fan or the kids from a few videos back that were annoying you.
Really love your perspective and tailor!! LOL Hope to meet up with you one day.
Their is an old saying, "For a man to become a prophet, he must travel beyond his own land." Personally, I am a Texan. My family has been here for 7 generations. When I was 10 years old, our family moved to Mexico, where my father started a business and did quite well. Then, when my brothers and I were going to high school, we were sent back to Texas to finish high school and go to college. That was during the Viet Nam war and we had to go to college to keep from being drafted. After college, I worked with my father in Mexico for several years, until he sold the business, I moved back to Texas and had a career selling fork lift trucks, Back during the 1970, I began to sell quite a few large lift truck into Mexico and I did quite well at that. I never really did that well here in Texas, but in Mexico, I was like a prophet and sold millions of dollars worth of equipment. I even had my own business there for a while, but I moved back to Texas, when I retired and have family here and will always want to be close to them. In telling this story, I wanted to say that being successful in one country, I believe it is quite common to be more successful after traveling to a different country. I identify with that. You are bi-cultural and get a boost from that.
+Leonard Lackey fantastic! It’s always good to learn from other people’s experiences
Leonard Lackey "to have a second language is to posses a second soul"-Charlemagne, being bi-cultural really changes the way you see the world, awesome story sir.
Greetings from México!
Thank you for your wise words. I just hope I can be that successful one day too.
Great story - I would also say that bouncing between the developed world and the undeveloped world is the closest thing one can get to time travel. Living in the developed world one has the ability to see where their country has come from lack of technology or services. Going to the second world or even the third world and position oneself on a technology or a service that is not quite landed will make you rather wealthy.
And will make a undeveloped country happy
I’m a Native American Indian Woman... most non natives have no clue about us!! Ha ha I enjoy your videos...I’m also praying 🙏🏽 for those that are being targeted for believing in a different Religion! God Bless and Stay Morally Strong 💪🏽👍🏼🙇🏻♀️🕊🤺!
I really appreciate your hard-work Winston. You rushed from a wedding/funeral to shoot the video without taking a breath to get changed.
Really like your videos I'm a Brit my wife is hk Chinese I find your videos very interesting and informative, keep them coming. Thanks
I knew a Japanese girl who used to think a Westerner living in Japan as a "loser" and Japanese women that dated them as "silly girls", BUT she could never counter the facts of what it takes to move to another country, she could never counter about Japanese moving to another country (are they losers), she could never counter that Japanese girls dating Westerners maybe just have a liking for Westerners which is no different to a Westerners having a preference for blondes or brunettes or Thai girls or Japanese Girls - its a silly idea
