Just a kindly reminder if you wanna buy a pin in the future. I think the average price is ~20 Yuan in a souvenir shop,but it could be 10 Yuan for a piece at that stall. You can buy 5 pieces of the Pins if you pay 50 Yuan.
Local dialect for Fu Ren (wife) is Fu Yin, sounds like a quick version of Fu Wu yuan(waitress). So Jack is really not bad at understanding him. A Chinese person from a different dialect area may make the same mistake.
I only just come across your channel literally within the last few days. I am completely mesmerised with your videos. I love travel videos, but your videos are on a different level to everyone else I watch. Thanks for opening my eyes to places I have not even heard of. 😊
No travel vloggers do it like you! Could honestly watch you all day. So genuine and down to earth, would love to meet/bump into you someday. As a southerner I’ve only ever met one Geordie and you remind me a lot of him 🤣 wey aye man
As usual, you two make wonderful travelling companions. Your amazing ability to make genuine contact with people is so enjoyable to watch.Such an adventure.
Communicating with locals proactively is the best way to learn local culture and tradition quickly. and it's also very helpful to learn local language. Obviously Jack has found the secret!
North Korea, China 🇰🇵, looks so nice! Thank you so much, as always, for making these amazing traveling videos. They are always so entertaining to watch. Your languages are always amazing. The food and the drinks look so nice to try 😋. I’m wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year! Stay safe. ❤🇮🇲🇬🇧
China went into the Korean War with the Allied Army because they've pushing too close to the Chinese borders and the Chinese weren't too comfortable about having the Americans too close to their doorstep. So they pushed the American and Allied forces way back to where the North-South divide is today.
As an American, I love seeing your China videos. Sure everything might not be perfect there, but where is it perfect at? Just because they don’t trust imperialistic mindsets, doesn’t mean they are mean or weird! Judge nations on their people, not just what your government says about their government!

Well done for your Chinese, Jack! - If you want a more accurate intonation, ask your tutor about the four tones (it will definitely help). For example mā: (steady tone) for "mother" má: (rising tone) for "numb" like mala hotpot mǎ: for "horse" mà: (duo tone) and mà for "scolding". The spelling is the same for the four words but the focus is on the 'accent' symbol ( or diacritic)
This is the first video I've watched of this guy. Always been obsessed about the 2 Korea's and currently on the waiting list for a visit to Pyongyang. I must say it's refreshing to see an Englishman who can speak the language of the country he's going to and interacting with the locals. We take it for granted that everyone speaks English wherever we go.
26:10 Actually chinese can travel to north korea in a toursist group organised by north korea, but the flight is from Beijing (or Shenyang) to Pyongyang only, and thats pretty much the only way toursists can access DPRK
I just discovered your Chanel. I am from the US and I think you are fabulous! I’m hooked!❣️ I wish you could do a tour to North Korea 🇰🇵 , but only if it can be done safely!!! Jack, with your personality, I could see you coming back as Kim Jung Un’s friend who will probably visit him frequently 🙄!❣️ 😁 🥰
At 5:05, he said "your wife" (fu ren), not "waitress" (fu wu yuan). "fu ren" is a more formal term for "lao po" or "qi zi" (wife). The confusion arose because his north-eastern accent made it sound like "fu wu yuan" (waitress). That’s so funny! Your Chinese has improved a lot-I can see it throughout your video.
Haha. I love that kid! As an American it reminds me of how our kids would act. He definitely wasn’t shy! I liked how he called you out for not having good pronunciation! He didn’t understand it wasn’t your first language lol
at 16:09, when the owner says "冷面，这是典型的。“ he meant that the cold noodle is a classic Korean food. The subtitle you have here is wrong： 点心=snack, 典型=classic. But I totally get why you thought it like that since the pronunciation is close.
The border area between China and North Korea is a little-known region, with unique stories and perspectives on the relationship between the two countries, as well as the impact of the border on the lives and culture of the people living there.
In the English cources taken by most (at least some) of Chinese, they don't use the words "Britain" or "UK", they just use "England" to represent the whole of UK. One of foreign teachers I met, who is from Northern Ireland, said he always feel offended.
Thanks you so much for your new remarkable video today’s @ the China 🇨🇳 & North Korea 🇰🇵 border in December of 2024❤❤❤Happy Holidays to you in peace❤❤❤
Rice is hard to grow in the regions bordering North Korea. Maybe that's why they buy some rice from North Korea into the border regions. Its just a guess though.
At 30 minutes into the video, I was surprised to see the woman with the child you spoke with wearing a cap showing Cleveland Guardians. That is a baseball team in Cleveland, Ohio USA that changed its name from Indians to Guardians in 2022. Small world.
Its my first time watching your videos and all i can say is, thanks for this entertainment, i'm learning english so you are my perfect teacher, thanks bro, i hope one day to take a trip to this enigmatic place Dandong-North Korea border😊
1 month and you manage to have full conversations in Chinese? How? That’s impressive!
Must have been a lot of active recall learning since he learned it fast
He's actually been learning a lot longer. His old china video has him trying to speak it. It is not an easy language
Exactly what I was thinking
Almost like he’s got stronger connections to China than he portrays.
At 5:06, the old man asked "Is that your wife? Your wife is beautiful." The word he used was "Fu Ren" (wife), instead of "Fu Wu Yuan" (waitress) LOL
ohh thats my bad haha, I thought he was being funny because she took the stuff I bought and put it in a bag for me
Just a kindly reminder if you wanna buy a pin in the future. I think the average price is ~20 Yuan in a souvenir shop,but it could be 10 Yuan for a piece at that stall. You can buy 5 pieces of the Pins if you pay 50 Yuan.

Learned Chinese for only one month? I can hardly believe it. You're a language genius, bro.
I saw him speak Urdu in Pakistan. And then he speaks Spanish as well. His English is Geordie and needs improving :)
@@jahason01 Ha ha! If I studied Chinese for a month I might be able to say one word that probably nobody could understand. Nee how boo boo?
Me thinking your Chinese is amazing but at 27:56 we have this kid dissing your pronunciation 🤣🤣

Oh, the honesty of children. Such a sweet family you had the chance to meet on the steps. Lovely
one month of studying Chinese and you could manage a decent conversation like that, definitely you got my salute and my subscription !!!

amazing video! thanks for bringing us to North Korea border😍
Great job jack. Your content is really different from all the regular travel “vloggers” i feel!
He is so interesting😂
Nice video bro thanks ❤❤
I love Dandong and have found the people there to be awesome. Loving your videos too. I wish you a happy and blessed Christmas.
5:18 He said '夫人' which means wife, not waitress.
💯
sounds like'服务员'
@@ZenHornWhale North east accent lmao.
your mandarin is pretty good mate! Well done!

Very special vedio!😮😮😮😊😊😊
great video
25:35 "Your english is so good!" "Its not good, its alright"🤣🤣🤣🤣
1950年中国军队近75万就从这座桥上分4批进入朝鲜与美军作战。
当年的铁桥被美军飞机数次炸断，每次又被中国从新接上。
这座桥具有历史意义！

Having this level of spoken-Chinese by just learning for 1 month, man you are a genius
30:50 I was not expecting to see a Cleveland Gaurdians hat 😂 glad to see CLE is repped even in china lol

Love your vids. I find it weird that the bars you were going to were so empty. Whats up with that?
一個月中文說的這樣好？敬佩👍👍👍👍👍
Was this video posted on a Chinese channel earlier than YT? I saw the episode about eating in a Korean restaurant and talking to the kid by the river.
他们在bilibili有账号
You are very sociable. not only made many Chinese friends, but also made friends with North Korean soldiers. 😂😂😂

Can somebody tell what the group of ladies at 37:28 is saying? Is it something historic related to the place?
打得一拳开免得百拳来。justify Chinese troops entering North Korea against American troops or UN troops
他们说的是：“打得一拳开，免得百拳来”。这是1950年10月毛泽东与周世钊谈话中提出来的著名论断。😂😂
@@fanye5849 That answers it perfectly, thank you! 😊
it means one punch hard avoid 100 times of been punched in future, which was Mao's quotation on legitimacy of defending the Kim's family
"Parry one punch now to stop hundred punches in the future." It's what Mao gave as the reason to participate in the Korean war.
you can take a cruise in the river
Sometimes you have to ask upstairs what you're going to do downstairs
Jack doesn't need to explain that you are not American, Chinese people are not anti-America.🤣🤣
He means North Korea is anti-American.
HI JACK& YOUR WIFE HOW ARE YOU MY FRIEND NICE TO SEEING YOU .VERY NICE VEDIO NOW YOU'RE IN CHINA. VEEY NICE AM FROM KARACHI CITY OF PAKISTAN
兄弟，虽然200块肯定是被骗了，不过这大爷肯定也骗不到其他人😂，年纪这么大也蛮不容易的，相当于做慈善，合理😂
哈哈哈哈哈
That kid telling you, your Chinese is not good.
"Furen" is a polite way to refer to someone else's wife, not "fuwuyuan," which means waitress.
What was the gun fire all about? Is that normal?
The old vendor overcharged you 😃
You speak fluent Chinese, in November I was just one day in Beijing, visited Tiananmen and somehow I didn't manage to learn a word of Chinese, why ?
