Thanks for joining, everyone! Follow on insta @ kats_journey_east or join my Patreon @ patreon.com/kats_journey_east for some bonus content! 🐂What do you think about this house's interior decor - would you like having such a colorful house? The rugs in my house are actually from Kashgar so I do genuinely appreciate their sense of style, although some of the clashing patterns are a bit over the top even for me 😂🏡
The house's interior decor is quite vibrant and eclectic, with a mix of patterns and colors that can be visually stimulating. The rugs from Kashgar add a unique and authentic touch, reflecting a deep appreciation for traditional craftsmanship. However, the combination of clashing patterns might feel overwhelming for some, though it could be seen as a bold and expressive choice for others. It's a matter of personal taste, and while the style might be too intense for some. It is very suitable for the environment of your current house. It is located in the countryside, which adds a lot of color to the countryside. I especially like your interior design. It is very suitable for the environment of your current house. I love it! Incredible!
Dear Katherine, we are all aware that you have been staying away from the geopolitical discussions about china, but still, we thank you for this xinjiang travel series, sincerely.
Some day I will visit China, love the culture and different ethnicities ❤ He is too cute, love his personality and how proud he is of his beautiful home.
why is there not 1 single Uyghur woman with hijab in xj? why is nobody looking reliigous? when in the records from before 2015 you could see hundreds of people in mosque, women wearing hijab? oh, did something happen after 2016 towards uyghurs?🤔
@@哈哦故事 oh, you mean the mosques that turned into night/dance clubs/cafes you dumba$$? for Muslims, this is like the biggest disrespect. and you think Uyghurs are okay with this? and no, the population is getting reduced(women and men are getting sterilized in the camps)and the Uyghur Muslims are losing their identity to get sinified in the most brutal ways. CHINA=ISRAEL. its just that clear.
Katherine, your footage is a celebration of authencity of life in Xinjiang. There is much to be thankful for as we can see from your lenses Xinjiang's Uighurs living in decent housing, doing decent work, living peaceful and contented lives in a green and peaceful environment. Cheers and keep up the good work! :)
Katherine, I can't put my finger on it but there is a definite charm to Aysajan's home. It has an almost mediterranean feel to it. To me, the simplicity and openness of the house seem to reflect the culture of the people in this region. As for the colours and decorations, well, it is bright and a contrast to the desert landscape! GREAT Vlog!❤❤
Aysajan makes all the simple things in life a joyful experience! 💚I’m a big fan! 👏👏👏Love seeing the Uighur life and all those grapevines! Kudos to you both! Can’t wait to see more!👍
American house: Here we have the kitchen, living room, family room, study, bedroom... Uyghur house: Here we have the kitchen, bedroom, bedroom, bedroom, bedroom, bedroom, bedroom...
This was so educational, the contrast of culture, customs, living in the desert, completely opposite from the rural Chinese life you have posted. Thank you to both of you for allowing us to learn about rural Xinjian. The open door hospitality surprises me!
Wow, your Chinese is good, I’m impressed! I lived and worked in China for 13 years - Shenzhen mostly - and loved it. My biggest regret is not working harder to learn to speak the language. Like watching your videos to see a foreigner speak the language so well and to see places that are non-tourist areas.
@@greentraveler4114 Thanks but I don't live there anymore. I moved back to Canada a few years ago. I still try to watch videos about China because it is such an interesting and diverse country. I love the food too.
Katherine, dear, everyone has been teasing you about Aysajan. If you are really dating, congrats. But If you are not, don't let us pressure you. We're just teasing you.
One of the best yet, for me anyway. A real house, with a real garden. I think I could quite happily live there although I do believe it gets cold in the winter.
yes it is a temperate desert, in the next video we even pass by the local ski slope hahahah it's a sand dune in the summer and covered in manmade snow in the winter 😂
Oh, my goodness! watching this video is a heart warming to start the day.. & the introduction of opening the gate with Aysajan, welcoming smile in this video gave it all. The place & everything was so amazing & beautiful. Make me dream that one day that the place I want to visit. to travel again around the world. Thank you, Katherine. Greeting from: Seattle, Washington of USA with LOVE. From here to Xinjiang, sending you at Blasting Firework to greet you a "Happy 4th of July!" ❤
❤This house is quite modern with characteristically Uyghur decor and modern wallpaper. The yards are lovely. Look forward to seeing more vineyards in Kashgar. In traditional Uyghur homes you sit on colorful carpeted platforms that we would associate with beds so that living rooms would appear to be bedrooms. The doors and windows almost remind me of the Soviet Union (rather than traditional Uyghur).
What a delight to wake up to Katherine! His family home is wonderful. So self sufficient. That's the way to go. Oh Katherine! I'm going back to when you two met in the videos . I think this young man is perfect. I am praying you two blossom together. Hope we get to meet his family. ❤till next video.
so unfair! they don't just have grapevines everywhere, they can see the snow mountain from the backyard! Wish I can meet Aysajan's mom ion the video, curious to know how adorable the mom will be to have a kid like that
I kept my encounters with his family during this trip off of my main social media because people will go nuts in the comment section, lol. there is a clip of his mother and I on Patreon because only a few people will see it so I don't mind sharing it there LOL. I will put interacting with his family in the vlogs next year, we plan to go to Kashgar again in March or April. stay tuned 😂
Katherine you are the best guide ! This home is amazing and the host is so kind and cute. ! I just love all the colorful fabrics everywhere and the flowers and the grapevines . I guess we all want you to date him. Not nosy, we just love you. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Nice house! It reminds me of the house of the parents of my former Romanian boyfriend. Guests could be put up everywhere; couches were converted into beds. There was an orchard and also lots of vines that provided shade. Almost similar colorful decor too.
I was only half-way through the video and I already fell in love the house. This is the most colorful farmhouse I have ever seen. Are there any such farmhouses in Xinjing being used as Bed and Breakfast?
❤Hia culture is very different from us . I would be scared to have a stranger knocking my door to let him / her in . Even a friend come to visit I would like to know in advance. Respect privacy . I can’t live with 15 people and expect strangers walk in anytime . Its kind of overwhelming and too many unpredictable visitors. I can tell those snacks are not like regular chips we eat . As for the space for the house , its nice and decent . His yard and grapes looks beautiful . Katherine, I hope you had a great time visiting his home and his city ❤
So vibrantly exotic and peaceful 💚The 葡萄架 and lovely gardens brought so much nostalgia for me. Every room's so colourful except for Aysajan's, maybe he does have some minimalist potential in him? I remember those "underwhelming" snacks from when I was little (we used to get those from the Muslim quarters together with 馕，烧卖，羊杂汤...), they were wonderfully tasty when the next best thing we had to eat back then was 馒头 😅. Personally I appreciate how they can make the flavourful dishes such as pilafs or kabobs stand out more. Anyways I'm glad Uyghur people still hold their traditional taste so close and dear to their hearts 🙂
有朋自遠方來,不亦悅乎 ! That is what Confucius tought us the traditional value of treating people, I am so shocked that Aysajan's home prepared so many beds and fruit for friends even strangers coming, that may be the tradition of Uyghur people. From Taiwan.
you dont get it. over there they dont take money from guests, visitors, even backpackers if they are invited for staying over in their house. it is their culture.
@@Belumbang6960 Keep your knickers on. Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed today? Are you telling me there are no businesses and hotels there? Is it so wrong to earn honest money? Jesus Christ
Can you do an episode on Xinjiang's food. Like go dine in a local eatery so we can have a better understanding of the culture and cuisine. I know you are not a food blogger, but food is such an integral part of culture
I'm already back in Zhejiang but during my next trip to Xinjiang, I hope to do some videos with Aysajan's mother teaching me how to make some food like hand-pulled noodles. it will be quite a while from now but... stay tuned 😂 we also might make a video about cooking XJ food in my kitchen in Zhejiang

It's like living in heaven actually. I wished I had such a wonderful mansion full of grapes dangling all over.
Basically you sleep and eat grapes all day long xD
@@lolilollolilol7773 Grapes and all the other fruits from Xinjiang are soooo good! Can't wait to be back there again...in 3 weeks I go!
God will provide if you will be in His Kingdom.

No need to discuss geopolitical issues when these vlogs speak louder than words

What an absolutely charming homestead - simple and idyllic with a charm all of its own! 😍No wonder Aysajan looks so proud and pleased to show it off!

The place is beautiful. Plenty of land area for children to run about. Aysajan is a good catch for you Katherine. Don't let him go.
No other UA-camr shows xinjiang or china soo in-depth like you! Probably because you can speak fluent Chinese. Keep up the good work Katherine !
Aysajan again!!! Gotta watch him right away!!! :)
