Goal! Time for a give-away!

Guys, fantastic! I hit my 199 goal, I'm flabbergasted! As soon as I saw that I'd hit my second goal I arranged to go out to China's biggest and best Electronics market "Hua Qiang Bei" (which happens to be close to my home), I spent the day looking for fun and interesting gadgets, and although there were a few contenders, this little programmable LED badge/sign really caught my eye. Please go and w...

The alcohol adventure continues...

I've tried many a strange food and drink during the ten years I've been living in China... I've often done it without knowing and this is a good example. I was shopping in a supermarket and found this unassuming bottle of alcohol next to the usual bottles of baijiu and cheap red wine, I thought well this should be good for the next alcohol video and snapped it up, it was pretty cheap (less than 20...

Passion

Vegan-ism is certainly not a subject that interests me... especially since I love Meat, Cheese and leather jackets ;) But I do respect the choices people make, and understand how difficult it is to survive in China with any sort of alternative diet (it's difficult to find even basic dairy products here), so when I met "Green Girl" a few months ago at one of my subscriber meetups, I was quite surpr...

As promised

So I hit the $99 goal, and now it's time to start trying weird and wonderful Chinese Alcohol... I've asked my girl to help out since I can't read all the strange ingredients on the bottles, she'll be helping me explain exactly what the alcohols I'm drinking consist  of and what they're supposed to do... the first one is rather interesting with a host of animals and TCM infused into this very ...

A sincere thank you to all of you!

I started this Patreon account on a whim, I didn't think that I would actually get any pledges, and here I am, just hit 100 Dollars and my first goal of 99, I can't believe it. I am over the moon for various reasons, number 1 it proves that you guys have faith in what I'm doing and actually see worth in my videos, this simply inspires me to do more and create better and more varied content for all...

Hong Kong vs. Mainland China

So I've been asked this many a time and living here on the border of Hong Kong, I've wanted to explain properly what the differences are between life in Hong Kong and Mainland China... They are completely different places in almost every aspect. I like to think of Hong Kong as a mixture of Old China and the U.K, it is one of my favourite cities, but I can't ever bring myself to live there... My la...

I'm Back!

That was exhausting! I've always been of the opinion that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, but this was one hell of a risk which almost ended up costing me everything... The ride was tough, we rode 5200kms on a 125cc motorbikes on destroyed roads fraught with danger, crazy trucks and cars that have no regard for your life, through freezing cold wet weather one day, then boiling hot we...

Broken Vase scams

This has been something that has really irritated me living in China, it has been in the news so often lately that I decided to make a video about it. 

I'm busy preparing for my big trip (the camera crew is flying down from Beijing tomorrow) and so I'll soon be off on my adventure! I will not be uploading any big videos during my 15 day trip, but I will try my absolute best to upload sm...

Pink Chickens? What?

So C-milk and I did a last minute test ride through some rural areas of Guangdong (a few hours away from our shop) and it was both a lot of fun and also very interesting, we came across pink chickens which a farmer had spray painted, got approached by a group of giggling school girls who were riding their bikes home from school (after I had waved to them all passing) who were very curious about us...

What happened to Beer girl?

Welcome to the behind the scenes patron's eyes only feed, I'll be posting my thoughts on upcoming videos and other interesting observations here on a weekly basis, so here's the first post... What happened to Beer Girl? I know most of my avid subscribers know the story but I'm going to release a video this week to make it completely clear and hopefully stop people constantly asking me the same "wh...
