Thank you for another great video, Ben! Now you have me wanting to visit Shanghai. I don't know how much longer I going to be able to "afford" to watch your channel. 😂 Seriously, I'm loving every minute!
@@matthewhildebrandt1901 HAHA there’s a whole world out there, Matthew! I’m trying to see as much as I can 😁 Shanghai is a great city, I’m happy I can show China to people who might have never seen it before!
I am French Canadian 🇨🇦 💜💜" You dont have any rights to expect people to speak English"💜💜 I am all about learning at least a few sentences in a new language if I am to visit. Even if the local speak English, they appreciate and you get better service. On that note, while speaking English with an accent, I was asked in Seattle WA "can you express yourself better"🤦♀️
@@Anyk572 you’re totally right, Anyk! Learning a little bit of the local language will help you, you’ll get respect and it’s fun! HAHA I can’t imagine saying that to someone speaking English!
Looks like such a great place to travel. I always appreciate when the people in the country I'm visiting do speak english. I never expect it, but it does make things much easier. But also I feel like those interactions when neither speaks the same language but they're trying to be helpful are so meaningful. I love when we're able to break the communication barrier and just be humans with eachother. Thanks for another amazing video from China. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip!
@@GDJason no doubt about it, Jason! It makes things easier but my point was they don’t have to speak your language and no one has any right to go to another country and be mad when they don’t speak their language! I’ve had some great interactions with people that don’t speak English 😁 they’re the fun ones! Thanks for watching early, I’m excited to share more!
Wow!..wonderful vlog. Shanghai is soooo neat and tidy, I don't think I saw any litter at all on the ground in the places you went to. The atmosphere is so calm and peaceful too... ❤✨️👍🙏😀
Yay for a clear day! It was all amazing! Thanks for allowing us to tag along! Quick question for you...are there any hand gestures that might be considered rude by the wonderful people of China?
That was fun to share with you. I’m loving seeing China through your eyes because it’s a place I know I’ll never visit. Did your guest not want to be live….or just shy? I’ll follow all the way through China and pretend I’m there🤗🤗
@@gerrilarsen29 cheers, Gerri! I’m glad I can show you China 😁 I hope you’re finding it interesting! Not shy, they cannot speak English. Thank you for watching!
Good afternoon, Ben !I think the name of the tower is "The Oriental Pearl". I was in the vicinity but never went up. However, I did climb uo to the top of the Empire State building in New York. I felt dizzy and I felt the top was moving as I watched the Central Park. Nice experience, indeed !
We are very excited for this video series through Asia. Your positive attitude is so refreshing. Nice to see the “real” China. Thanks for this fun video. Looking forward to the future ones.
I enjoy seeing the world through your eyes, but you have a gift for learning new languages, it is diffacult for the rest of us! Do you have an accent when you speak in other languages! LOL When I was much younger I lived in Tiwan for my work and was not able to learn their language very well. Tiwan was also clean, safe, and the people were so friendly and helpful. I was also an instructor and was treated like a King! Great memories from my youth. You are such a great teacher, I wish all teachers had your enthusiasm. I would enjoy seeing your Shanghai Disneyland vlogs. I was an Imagineer when EOCOT at WDW was being created.
@@stephencoutu2674 thanks so much, Stephen! Languages are hard for me too 😂 I picked up Chinese much faster than Spanish. I’ll be going to Taiwan soon! Wow, no way you were an Imagineer! That’s amazing, I’m sure you have many stories to tell 😁 I also have a history with Disney (I can’t say too much yet 😂)
Dear Ben, could you please vlog about Shanghai Museum East? It's a new and large modern museum that houses many ancient artworks. I haven't been able to find much information about this facility on RUclips, but I'm sure you won't regret visiting! Thank you!
In fact, since the last century, when relations between China and the Soviet Union deteriorated, Chinese students have given up Russian in middle school and joined English as a major course, and have had this course until university, think about it for at least 40 years, although it is a major course, but because there is no language environment, so students forget it after learning, it is not that China is only now teaching children English!
yeah a real heaven for foreigners earning usd or euros the price of stuff up in the oriental pearl is no where near reasonable for most chinese ppl earning the pay by chinese standard and the same thing u see up there could be scanned using taobao and be purchased for a way cheaper price.
Just watching you walk on that glass floor was making me nervous. I would not personally be able to go up that high. I’m very very afraid of heights and then to see you walk on the clear floor. It’s too much for me 😂 And I imagine that things in China are so much cheaper just like Thailand because they’re cost-of-living is not very high and they don’t get paid very much so things for us tourist is a bargain.
When we were in Shanghai the vendors were out in force and pretty aggressive .... one guy came up to my husband with a bunch of watches and said, "Lolex, buy Lolex!" My husband raised his wrist to show the guy he HAD a watch already, but the wily vendor said, "That not Lolex!" My husband pointed at his watches and said, "That not Lolex either!" The vendor began to laugh like crazy and cuffed my husband on the shoulder - "Good."
Did you see that Chinese film 'No More Bets'? We saw it last year, in China, luckily with subtitles. Pretty amazing, but disturbing. If people ask to have a photo with me, I usually ask for 25 yuan-as a joke! I've been approached once, by a girl, asking to go for drinks, in Beijing, but my wife was with me. In a small coastal town, a local asked my wife if I was a real human being.
you are a Hater and lies as always!!!! i have visited in China many times, China is safe and clean, people are very Nice and good! you have got money from USa and smear China on internet ! shame on U !

@ many people say the same thing, Brenda! They are surprised to see what it’s really like 😁
Excellent video. I was there last year and appeared in 5 selfies with the locals.

Thank you
