I am starting a new mini series of videos about how to survive in China without a car, I'll be using this opportunity to show you all some of the more interesting and far flung places around the city by using different forms of public transport, this video will be released on Wednesday to the public, but you get to see it now: 2017-07-16 08:09:21 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey there guys, a patreon exclusive early access to next weeks' video!
In this video I have a special guest, some of you may know him as C-milk's drunken sidekick, but you get to see him sober for the first time in a video as we talk about the differences between living in a 1st tier and a 3rd tier city: 2017-07-13 11:45:54 +0000 UTC View Post
A quick update from Sasha and I! After a ridiculous amount of travel 34 hours of flying and transferring, we made it back to Shenzhen! It was a bit touch and go but we arrived at the Shenzhen Huang Gang 24hour border at 1:20am and were let through without a hitch! I guess the two month long campaign to get me reported and deported didn't end up working for all those haters!
I'm going to pa...
In this Patreon exclusive video, Sasha and I would like to thank each and every one of you! https://youtu.be/H2OH8YnrW50
Wish us luck getting back over the border and as always

So, 40 days on the road filming Conquering Northern China, and arrived back home at 11pm then next day early had to head over to Hong Kong to fly with Sasha to meet my Family in Mauritius. First time in years since I've seen my family (about 5 years) and finally it was an opportunity for Sasha to meet my parents, my sister and our niece. Things ar...

I have a minute to sit down and write this to you all, my patreons. The last few days have been very taxing on our journey. Lovely scenery and local people, but serious issues with police, PLA, Swat and evil uncles! Our whole Inner Mongolia experience has been marred by constant harassment. I won't go into detail, but there was someone who we originally contacted to ask about interesting things to...

It seems like an eternity since we began our journey in Qingdao 20 days ago, we're now officially half way through our journey! Away from the sensitive North Korean border area where we saw fighter jets flying overhead, military trucks and troops and experienced both the border and also some amazing and frustrating situations. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you, not for making this happen,...

So we made it to the border of North Korea, it was a very fascinating experience and I can't wait to share it all with you through the documentary and of course once the documentary is out I'll also share my personal video footage and thoughts I have on the matter.

We've all heard about "that Chinese guy who played games non-stop for days then died". There is no doubt that there is a big internet and gaming addiction issue in China, I've seen it with my own eyes, experienced why internet cafes are still so popular here and now it's time to talk about the issue since it's getting better! Come join us as we talk about ...

Wow, it's really difficult to remain positive about living in China at times! But I've been through worse, so what's the score?
There is a debate raging on the Chinese internet, and it's a debate on how quickly Chinese netizens can get me expelled from China. The original poster is an ultra-nationalist girl who obviously felt re...

I'm going to be discussing a phenomenon that is fairly worrying in China, I stopped a fight at a McDonalds just before shooting my friendly people video, and it's a very very big topic to cover!

So I was chatting yesterday whilst having a beer with my subscriber and it turns out that he actually went to the fake rolex shop that was featured in our video about counterfeit things over on ADV, so I asked him about his experience and thought that some of you may be interested in what a fake watch actually looks like (since he bought one...

It's par for the course, when you put yourself out there on YouTube, haters will come (at least if you get any sort of following), It's pretty ridiculous how people are actually making money in China off of hating us by stealing our videos and selectively translating bits of our videos, it's quite funny and annoying all at the same time. It's not only from there t...

Okay so it's just a day early, but whenever I can, you guys will get a peek at what I'm working on.
Yesterday I took Sasha out for Sushi and thought that perhaps you'd be interested in what a typical Sushi Date in China is all about!
