i feel that if i went to china or any other country i would be doing the same things, trying to assimilate and reject my western culture to "fit in". I have not experienced immigrating elsewhere or not remaining in the country where i was born. I have heard similar things from other immigrant students in college who may have moved here when they were a teenager and a girl from Harbin, China who always "just wanted to be viewed as a canadian" and didnt like that she even had an accent in english. Only thing i would say is to just try to appreciate who she was and not worry so much about it and if anything, being able to live in 2 different countries and know other culture/language is an advantage over me.

I’m a Korean woman who spent part of my childhood in Shanghai and is planning to move to Canada this year with my same-sex partner. It was great to hear your history of experiencing both cultures and embracing both. Seems like it won’t be easy for a typical Asian-minded person like myself to adapt to Canada, but I feel encouraged hearing your words. After all, it’s quite fascinating to get to see the world in different perspectives. Thanks for a great video.

33 year old Canadian-born Chinese here, with teochew mother and hakka father dialect parentage, with both parents born in Malaysia. Really appreciate your vid as a fellow CBC who has always been on the pursuit of "finding" or becoming oneself. Love the psychology takes, Chinese people could really learn a lot from western psychology as much as western "intellectuals" could learn a lot of philosophy from Chinese Taoism, Chinese qigong, and Tai Chi. Honestly, it's up to people like to bridge bother worlds and fight against the prejudice, you know? Great job on the vid and looking forward to your future vids about these topics! Peace, love and hope

HaLong Bay or Ninh Binh if you only have time for one? Did you have a favorite?

MORE VIDEOS! I NEED MORE!! YESSSSSS!!!!!

Please share hotel name and location

Great video, could you confirm the name of the car company you used to transfer between Hanoi and Sapa.

This is such a wonderful video. You did amazing.

In which month did you visit?

Can you plz share you beautiful bill top hotel name?

Relatable. I am a 80s kid who moved to Sweden with my parents when I was 6. Ignored my Chinese culture of most of my life to fit in until the 2010s and then relapsed hard and trying to consume as much Chinese culture I can nowadays. Still don’t fit in neither in Sweden nor in China. Swedes will never accept me as a Swede even though I have a Swedish passport, I’ve grown up in Sweden and speaks Swedish like it’s my native language. I think different from them and I can’t escape that I don’t look like them. I still get that “where are you really from” and “you speak Swedish very well for a foreigner”. And many Swedes don’t understand why I just don’t ditch my Chinese culture, because “China bad” narrative, and embrace Swedish culture. In their eyes it’s so much better, top 10 in the world in fact according to human freedom index. Oh boy you won’t hear the end of that! And they’re so salty about falling out off top 5. And the same other way around. Chinese won’t see me at Chinese because I’ve spent so much time overseas. There’s so much I don’t understand about Chinese culture so I can’t be a real Chinese, I only look the part. I have accepted that I’m a weirdo in this world. Most people will probably not relate and can’t understand my cultural background. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Good stuff… I’ll subscribe.

炮友 easy girl

Which month did you visit ?

Good view and fresh Air 😎

That's beautiful

what is this ion 3:14 for a hotel or homestay ? you have the name ?

Hello! I'm a subscriber on your other channel, had seen 3 videos there, and watched another one tonight, the one on rejection. Well done, and very emotionally intelligent. Then I happened to notice you had this other channel and watched this video here. Again, nicely done, and thanks for sharing your story, thoughts, and lovely pictures of growing up. Es verdad lo que dices del frame-switching, it's true what you say about the frame-switching, and also, I can even sometimes feel 답답해 or another emotion and not know how to say it in English or Spanish. As for the identity denial... It's always been interesting running into foreigners growing up here in Seattle, as my parents were both immigrants from Latin America, and it was so easy for them to be like "oh hi, where are you from, I'm from x and my husband/wife is from y", and they could easily connect over being immigrants. I'm fluent in Spanish so I can still easily do that when I run into Latinos. But I also lived in Korea for 10 years, so I can pretty well spot a Korean, and sometimes approach them, and want to connect with them, but with more hesitation, because if they're American they can tend to be more sensitive about it, similar to the "where are you from?" question your portrayed. And sometimes I, as a child of immigrants, also want to ask a 1st/2nd/3rd generation immigrant that I run into this question too, but out of a place in my heart of genuine curiosity and admiration. I love sharing my family background, and find it fascinating to hear stories of migration, food, culture, etc.. The world is a beautiful place in so many ways, and so I'm lucky to have visited my parents' countries and many more. But I'm also generally introverted, and out of respect for so many people not liking the question, I tend to let it pass. If only there weren't so many people asking this question out of rudeness or disparagingly, it would be easier for me to ask this question out of love. A little anecdote, if I may. Just 3 nights ago I was sitting outside the 2nd Starbucks here in Seattle (yes the 2nd one is slightly well-known here too), and a Korean family walked by. The dad was like "ah, Starbucks, shall we go to 스벅?" (seu-beok, a shortened version of the Korean spelling of Starbucks). And the mom was like "no no, it's 별다방" (byeol-dabang, meaning "star - old style coffeehouse", a cute nickname for Starbucks). And I piped up and said "yes, it's 별다방!" The mom, was like, yeah, right, 별다방, right? And I answered "yes!" as if I were one of my Korean students answering his teacher. And we all chuckled at each other. Connections can start simply and be beautiful out of a place of knowledge and love. Oh, and as for Shanghai, I did visit for the World's Fair in 2010. Though I didn't see much of the rest of the city, unfortunately. Hope I have a chance someday. Ended up making friends from both Pingdingshan and Taiwan. Already seems like a simpler time... No "S-U-B-S-C-R-I-B-E!"? ^^ Thanks again ~

😮😮 nice view

Do pedophiles and terrorists get to manifest? Seems to me they do. So how is manifesting helpful in the absence of morality? I don't think it is. In fact, I think it's dangerous, even outside of the extreme contexts I put it between to make a point. It has been said that God gives us what we want to punish us. My own take is that unchecked selfishness is self destructive. Furthermore, I don't envision any deity that wants to, or should, be a part of satisfying our selfish desires just because we ask. In the absence of maturity, children desire and ask for things they don't need, don't deserve, and that are harmful to them. Many grow up to be controlled by material and otherwise physical pursuits that leave other aspects of their lives neglected and unfulfilled. But I don't ascribe to the ideal that money is the root of all evil. Placed in the right hands, it does a world of good for the needy. On the other "hand", maybe selfishness is the common denominator of evil thoughts and deeds. I wonder if humans are put on this Earth to rid ourselves of our selfish desires, and accept that we are all part of a single living organism that can only truly flourish when we behave responsibly towards the whole, and not to each miniscule part.

Beautiful video! Thank you

有没看到白娘子？

I relate to everything you have said. This is such a beautiful video! I’ve always had to code switch between being Asian and being American and it’s always super tiring. Everyone sees me and expects that I think and act Asian, but I think and act fully American since I was born in the US. I try to be myself, but everyone around me doesn’t see or except that and that makes it very difficult. Even my own family doesn’t understand.

I love it

orale, nuevo corte

Beautiful V-log, Master Chingu ❤

Although there are problems with education method in China, the anti-intellectual education system in America is not that good either. Elite groups will always study hard, play hard, but the mediocre always buy into those seeming cool /anti-intellectual method

Vietnam is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. The friendly people, the delicious food, and the cheap price of everything is just icing on the cake.

Wonderful video! How's the vegan scene in Sa Pa?

Wolf-Warrior education is a damage to mind indeed

Just got back from VN in January, and already booked another trip in September. Sapa is on the list, since I didn't get a chance to earlier this year. LOVE the content.

I went to vietnam in june 2019, pre covid19, it was the best country to visit by far. I loved it so much im going back in september of this year 2023 for 3 full weeks, will visit Sapa for sure!

Can’t wait to see more of these type of videos!
