Hey guys - Please read the description for this video, and remember to keep the comments respectful. Thank you - and I look forward to talking to you all during the premiere of this video!
Absolutely love the on the ground vlogging showing the real china which is far more than what I can say for many other "china experts" on RUclips. I as pro-china as they come but one thing I'm not the biggest fan of is how rude some of the salespeople in these smaller tech stalls can be but obviously those few don't represent how everyone acts in their community. They remind me of some salespeople in similar tech stalls I've visited in Singapore and Malaysia who can be just as rude if not more so.
@@o-654 Yup totally agree with regards the rude sales people. They exist everywhere e.g. in Spore. or especially in Spore LOL. But China is awesome. Can't wait to return.
Yeah, usually people are nice, but sometimes when you are carrying a camera around, people can be a bit reserved. Usually, if I’m not filming something for a vlog, I like to try and strike up a conversation, and if the person isn’t happy to engage, then I’ll just move onto another stall with someone that is!
I thought the swaying was resolved? It was due to the metro vibration and wind affecting their anti-earthquake system that became loose. I heard they have replace that foundation system and its back to normal
It has been changing...more retail shops so higher prices. I remember when I first went there, every time I asked for the price of something, the answer I got was how many I wanted....they were expecting dozens!
Great that you interact with the shopkeepers and talk about interesting tech and the price. The Osmo Pocket 2 is a whopping AUD$150 cheaper in GZ than at the DJI One store in Australia! I'm gonna buy such tech when I come to China.
@@Hazza_Harding I think not. I bought my Mavic 2 from Spore and they didn't honour it in Australia. Which is pretty ironic. The collection point, troubleshooting, testing and all in Melb were all run by Chinese. Its like I stepped into GZ when I entered through the door. LOL. Kinda wish I'm back in China. Miss China so much..... At least I can eat the good foods and walk down the street at night withouth having to always check my back.
Well - here in China, when there is a safety hazard, even if it is the most minor of safety hazards, people take it extremely seriously, so things are usually pretty safe
While watching your conversation with the girl who replaced your Iphone screen protector, I keeping thinking of Scotty from Strange Parts who used to bargain and found all sorts of gadgets/parts at Huaqiangbei to assemble/hack his phones. The place looks a lot quieter and people seem more reserved. Almost feel like a transition from a street booth atmosphere to a storefront rental in a mall. It's probably better regulated, but lacks the rush you may feel while bargain your way out.
Wow, the walking street of Huagiangbei has totally changed. It was a crazy place for gadgets. I wish there is an old picture of Huagiangbei to compare. I remember part of the walking street they discovered an ancient path that leads to Peking, they unearth the hidden tracks and the authorities persevere the tracks with thick glass for display to the public. Amazing China.
Hi Hazza. Is it still shaking? Haven't heard about it in the last week, maybe due to virus revelations. I was there 24 hours after the initial story. From what I understand, it is not swaying, it was an up and down motion. Chinese people I talk to at SZU think it was due to mining for crypto currency and thousands of hard drives spinning in the same direction at the same time. I don't understand that but I don't know much about crypto currency. Looking forward to your video. Is this one on your networks dime?
No - not on my network's dime... I self-fund all of my travels for creating vlogs and keep my work and RUclips channel separate. I'm hoping that I can make something of this channel in the future, as generally, the trend is moving online. Although I did include some information in the video that I gained through work - so I hope you'll watch when it launches and stick around to the end. Thanks mate.
Today two symptomatic and two asymptomatic cases were reported in Guangzhou. I'll have more updates tomorrow when I go to work, but it seems as though contact tracing is working
@@Hazza_Harding not a huge believer of the Dream Interpretation and voice in my head tells me that I won't like the interpretation of my horror dream so I just skip it XD
All modern tall buildings are designed to deal with earthquakes etc. Hence, a very small tremor which can hardly be felt on ground level, may be swaying at the very tall heights. In most milder earthquakes, the danger is not the tall modern buildings collapsing but being cut, hurt by the broken glass and debris falling from high above. So, have to stay clear to be safe. I had seen and felt earthquakes in Manila when I was there for some work. (also in Taiwan but that was very minor earthquake, the 1st for me). Most of it were minor, however, the last one was slight bigger. The Trump Towers in Makati City, near the hotel where I stayed was swaying quite a bit and in some buildings, where there were water storage tanks on the roof, the water spewed over and came down like a huge waterfall. So, were some falling glass panel and other debris. Other than that, nothing serious happened. Manila is a nicely place too. Cheers.
I thought you were going to cover the cause of the swaying, rather than the vendors in the place. Anyhow, still interesting - t.y. I wonder if the irregular movement is due to some sort of malfunction of the counterweights they use in tall buildings to break the rhythm of the structure's natural oscillation [presumably it's equipped with one].
Sorry to disappoint! We are still waiting for the scientific results from the inquiry to be released to know exactly what happened. When I know, I’ll let you know!
Did you catch DiDi? I'm surprised you're allowed to eat and drink inside the car. The no-filming must be a Shenzhen thing. In other parts of China, people don't care.
Wow, this is weird. It says the video premiered 112 minutes ago but my comment below is from a day ago. I don’t remember watching it, I remember you saying you were going to post the video. Did that somehow get the same link?
@@Hazza_Harding Ok, got it. That’s the first time that has happened to me. I can tell you a funny story.

Then I looked at who posted it, and it was me. Haha. The first comment I posted today was nearly identical to what I posted yesterday, so I deleted it.
@@rl225 hopefully border restrictions will ease further between the mainland and Hong Kong. I also haven’t been to HK in ages, and I’m really keen to visit when I don’t need to quarantine on returning to Guangzhou
@@rl225 I love visiting Hong Kong - great shopping, and there’s a really awesome vegan/gluten-free restaurant on Hong Kong Island... so even though I love living in Guangzhou and exploring the Chinese mainland, I also like taking trips to HK and Macao... unfortunately, due to the pandemic, I haven’t been to either in a while...
Unfortunately, travel in Guangdong is a bit difficult to manage at the moment due to the current situation. If I did go there again in the future, what would you be interested in hearing, or what would you like me to focus on? Thank you!
my guess is that people getting scared for competition and people trying to compare prices even in the place where they make the products , maibe thats the reason why they dont like you taking pictures thinking on going there when i visit thailand , smile airways flies there cheap , reason being that you cannot realy get an idea from a picture compared to seeing the real thing , besides that the shipping cost adds a lot to the prices and when you take them back in youre suitcase and dont get caught by customs you might be better off and get a return on the investment of the ticket to china (maibe even the price for the visa i need)
@@Hazza_Harding thats the reason why i am planning end of next year , even though you can enter thailand now and only have a small quarantaine stay its stil hard to travel between citties there , i hope thing will be better next year , in the netherlands there allready talking about boostershots to imunise against the delta variant
Interesting they don't want you to film. It's not as if they're doing anything illegal is it? Is taking photos and footage generally frowned upon just in stores or outside as well I'll never understand the ways of customer service in China (from my Western perspective), either they are completely uninterested or they are chasing you down the street.
@@doozledumbler5393 well, they know that some people go there and misrepresent what they are doing, so they are a little bit careful.I also don’t like people filming me without consent because I don’t know how they’ll use it
I heard that people from Fujian r known for scam while those from Guangdong (Cantonese) r rude in general n I realized most of them in this video dislike to be on camera or maybe they just shy.....remember the movie Comrade, Almost a Love Story (Leon Lai & Maggie Cheung) where a naive Beijing guy being treated rudely by Cantonese (both from (GuangDong & HongKong) Well, wherever we go I think it’s important to understand the local culture n habit, just know that it’s nothing personal I mean usually they’ll be as rude even towards their own.....
I think that Cantonese people are generally pretty polite when they speak Cantonese... but there are just some commonly used polite words in Cantonese that don’t translate well into Mandarin, so if they don’t speak Mandarin perfectly, the way they speak may come across as being rude to speakers of Putonghua - but most of the time, especially when I’m not holding a camera, Cantonese people have always been really friendly to me. I guess it depends on the situation, and who you speak to. Also, Cantonese people can be very pragmatic too - and sometimes being too polite comes across as being a bit standoffish... I don’t know how to explain it... like being too polite seems to put distance between you and the person you are speaking with. Thanks for your comment! Much appreciated

Just noticed that the side walks are extremely wide. It only stands to reason given the population density.
Yeah... it’s a square now, so it’s really spacious... lots of large squares in Chinese cities
In Melbourne one of the main big shopping centers which is around 25km out from the CBD has a DJI store.

I thought you were going to cover the cause of the swaying, rather than the vendors in the place. Anyhow, still interesting - t.y.
