我猜你们去西藏😂😂😂
@@user-kz5cj8ju1g You are telling the world the real China, so appreciative of China.
I also highly recommend you to visit Huángshān or the Yellow Mountain. It is the most beautiful mountain in my opinion, which is famous for its beautiful scenery and ware stones. As a Chinese saying goes, “After visiting the five holy mountains I decided not to see the other mountains, but after my return from Yellow Mountain, I don't care even to glance at the five holy mountains.”
As for the question about the hotel room, actually it depends on the designers work for different brands… not all hotels have their basins outside of the bathrrooms.
You can ask the owner of any store to mix the medicine with water (free of charge). Believe me, we Chinese are very friendly, don't worry! I wish you a happy trip in China!
Let’s go Josie ❤
❤❤❤
😊期待你的视频

@@TwoMadExplorers 哇哇哇！尽然在这里看到你们了，太开心了，你们都是我喜欢的博主，我是你们两组的粉丝，祝你们玩的开心，爱你们！
You and Josie are two of my favorite couples traveling in China. Very honest and inspiring contents form both of y’all❤❤
Friendly suggestions:
1. instead of saying "duo shao?", it is better to say "duo shao qian?" “qian钱” means money, "duo shao qian?" means "how much is it?" it is much better than just say "duo shao?" because "duo shao" also means "how many" when you want to count numbers.
2. "mei wei" is fine, but it is usually used in written language. When you want to say delicious, "hao chi" is a better choice. when your food is delicious, then use "hao chi", when your drinks are delicious, then use "hao he". Hope these helps, have a great trip!😆
hahahaha! Delicious(美味) and tasteless(没味) are both pronounced as "meiwei", with the only difference being the tone.
Josie did a really good job, eventhough she only knew few Chinese vocabullary, but speaking Chinese in the beginning of a conversation, will show the friendly and respect. For Chinese, if you do so, even you know just few words, we will think you are on our side. Good job, Josie.
Thank you so much for appreciating! I tried very hard with Chinese, it’s the hardest language for me to speak so far! Thank you 🙏 😊
@@josievlogsthings You have already learned more words than you just got here. We all know you trying very hard to do that. Just take your time, you will finally make it if you keep learning. I'm watching this episode now(while I am working....), you almost crying when you leave the coffee shop. I am so touching, almost crying with you. You are always welcome in China, you're just like our brother and sister in white skin. We don't divided people by blood or race, as long as you recognise our culture, yeah, we will treat you as our fellow people.
@@josievlogsthings Try Cantonese Josie 😀 it an amazing Language, Cantonese is the main spoken language in Hong Kong and in the Canton part of china 🙂🙂 watching from Australia 🇦🇺

Kunming is called “spring city” because it’s agreeable weather and how green it is.
Thanks for the weather info. In June 2024, we were in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chongqing, and it rained every other day. Beautiful, clean, safe cities nonetheless.
@@da12641 you unluckily met the rainy season of China, its called 梅雨季☺it start from June and end in July, anyway hope you doing great and have a nice trip
Kunming. Where my grandparents settled during Japanese invasion.
The street vender actually said, “oh your Chinese speaking is fairly good.”
Where you found the “flowers” is a tea shop. Teas are sometimes made with flowers.
Kunming is already high in altitude. I’m guessing you are heading further up like toward Tibet.
Yes, that’s Chinese Chess.
I think the reason why most Chinese hotels don't have fringes is that Chinese people, especially the elder ones are used to drinking warm water instead of cold water. And letting the basin be far from the toilet is a way to separate dry from wet, which is a newer decoration method, creating a cleaner environment
yeah,this decoration method is famous recently years ago
U are correct. Chinese people rarely have fringes, so In Chinese hotels, each room comes with a kettle, so guests can boil their own water, or u can buy mineral water. There are several reasons: they think boiled water is more hygienic and kills a lot of microorganisms that are not friendly to health, so they don't drink raw water. And Chinese culture and medical philosophy believe that what you eat into your body should ideally be about the same temperature as the body itself, this is a kind of health philosophy, so you will find that the Chinese people(includ the young ) do not have the habit of eating raw food, they prefer to heat the food cooked food diet, this tradition has lasted for thousands of years.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Love your interaction with locals! Most Chinese learnt English at school, it's a mandatory course, but they never got the chance to speak it.
Thank you so much! That’s very interesting! I really enjoy my time in China 😊😊
The seller said yr Chinese wording were so good!@ 2:45
Traditional Chinese medicines usually need to be dissolved in hot water, and using ice water may reduce their effectiveness. you can dissolve it in hot water and wait for it to get cold.
In China, most pharmacies will sell Chinese Traditional Medicines Rhodiola Rosea - Known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Hong Jing Tian (written as 红景天 in Chinese), Rhodiola Rosea, also called golden root and roseroot, is a plant that grows naturally in arctic environments and high altitudes and has been used as an herbal medicine for centuries
Wow, finally…love your guys, have fun
Thank you so much!!!
I'm a Chinese, and I'm overseas now. I really want to go back to Kunming to meet you. I will take you to eat a lot of delicious food and see a lot of interesting things.🥰
I’m from kunmimg now living in Melbourne, hope I was there so I can take u everywhere in kunming, hope u have a great time there in my home town ❤
Thank you so much!! So sweet 😁😁
Not all hotels in China have the basin outside, it really depends. The one you stayed is about a 3-star hotel, mainly targeting the economical travellers who expect quality of the stay as well as cost-effectiveness. In this way, outside basin can give more room to the living area (increase quality) without increasing the cost to furniture the room. You can tell this from the money you paid vs. the square feet you get. However, if this place is a closet like the traditional way, travellers in this cost range do not usually need. This layout is taylored to Chinese market due to the competition. You can also get this layout from those 3 star international brand hotel, like Farfield, Hampton, Hilton Garden Inn, Macure. But if you go to a 4/5 star hotel, the layout will become more traditional because their targeting customers are more willing to pay and care more about other stuff from the hotel.
The reason is quite simple, one could do the business behind close door while the other could clean his face or put her makeup on 'outside'. Otherwise, one has to wait for one to get the business done before he/she could make use of the room.

I am from Singapore, I had lived in Kunming for 8 years and now I am back in Singapore but I still long to go back to Kunming. You should try the famous small beans yunnan coffee while in Kunming and buy some flowers for yourself because it is the most cheapest place to buy in the whole world.
Kunming is famous for her summer cool weather.
Omg the watermelon lady is soooooo cute

Waking up on my day off to a Josie video! Perfect! 🤍
Two friendly suggestions: 1. No one says “how are you” (ni hao ma) in China. It is indeed a good way to show your friendliness and to start a conversation in English, but in China, we never say that. It is more common to just jump into what you want to say after saying ni hao. “Ni hao ma” is never used in Chinese conversation.
2. Since you can say “duo shao”, I strongly recommend that you learn how numbers are said in Chinese, at least from one to twenty, so that you can understand the price. If the numbers in Chinese is too hard, you should learn what the hand gestures of six to ten are. One to five is roughly the same across the globe. Six is thumb and little finger extended and other three fingers folded. It resembles the Chinese character of six. You can google what the others are. It is pretty interesting to learn. And you can communicate with local Chinese better.
Only some elders in china don't know numbers in English. Everyone knows numbers in English as they're graduated from high school.
Well, we do say "Ni Hao".
Nothing wrong to say “How are you “ in Chinese with your smile 😊
@@miketang1992 我们一般是会说“你好”，但不会说“你好吗”
正确叫法 你好 --------不要你好吗
小姐姐总是以一种乐观积极的态度面对大家！
the lady who sold you watermelon said your Chinese was impressive after you said Xiexie 😂
YES!!!! I’ve gotten much better from my last trip then 😅😂😂
To answer your question, when the roommate using the bathroom for shower, you can still use the basin and mirror for washing your face, brushing your teeth, waring makeup and doing your hair. without separating them, I might need to get up 1 hour earlier than roommate to finish my routine. LOL, every design has a reason.:) Imagin two girls travel together.
Totally agree.
The basin outside is MUCH more convenient; if one person is taking a shower, the other person can wash their hands after eating, etc
Josie you so good at learning language cause you have the perfect pronunciation in“美味”（yummy）“很好吃”（it taste good）and “我不懂”（I don't understand）😊 welcome to visit China again❤ love from Canton
Now it's Visa-Free for Ausie!!! LOL Hope to see you in China again!
Hi Josie, welcome to my hometown and I’m so happy you like this place🎉. Enjoy your time, I recommend deep exploring the province of Yu Nan if you have time in the future.
02:44 the vendor lady said that your Manderin speak so good. I thought that way,too. Josie has the talent to learn Chinese, your pronounciation is so accurate.
josie is just so cute❤❤😊genuinely hope you guys travel to Chongqing,China my hometown.❤❤
I lived in Chengdu, last week I just came back from Lhasa, Tibet for a 4day short trip. It’s quite tough for me to breath enough oxygen especially while sleep at night, luckily my hotel provided an oxygen generator for me to ease the situation. From this video I have learned you have asthma, hopefully I could adapt Lhasa’s altitude
Hi Joise, that pancake we have it in Melbourne (boxhill &city) and Sydney. That’s how we survived in Melbourne for home sick. Haha love your video.
Don't miss to check out the flower market. you will like it.
Kunming is a city call 春城，which means spring city of China because the weather is so nice whole years long.
Kids get told not to talk to strangers, so thats why they may ignore you, but it depends, sometime they will say hello spontaneously when they are with their parents.
Good choice, Kunming is a perfect place to escape from the heat in summer.
Very happy to see you are in Kunming. Have a nice trip! (From a Kunming local living in London ❤)
Welcome to my hometown,really hope you guys enjoy there 🎉
I think the basin is multi purpose to be usable by anyone anytime (say washing fruit) hence it's outside of the bathroom and toilet.
The outside basin is a very convenient idea.
I’m sure you’ve come across but “blondie in China” is a really awesome Australian food vlogger in China
The game those old uncles playing is “Chinese Chess”. Lots of the elderly love to play it in the park in China 😊
Josie, really enjoy your videos. it’s like listening to a friend 😊
You're great. You're able to use simple Chinese to get through. Feeling so much respect ❤ some travellers complain of not enough people can speak English.
I live exactly in the area you guys explored, not far from the Joy City. Watching your vlog is just like watching one day of my daily life, it's fantastic! Enjoy your trip!
Game at 39.50 is chinese chess. It needs 2 people to play. Similar like chess. Not mahjong which needs 4 people
It looks intense!! 😂😂
I travel all over China, I think it is kind of a newer design to have basin outside bathroom so that one person using the bathroom does not stop the other person using the basin who can then avoid potentially getting bothered by the noise and smell…
Kunming is awesome. It has the best climate all year round and the food is so interest. I hope you guys goto Dali and Lijiang.
By having basin outside of the toilet, others can use it when someone’s doing his business. Also it’s handy to have water for cleaning stuff cleaning fruit with it outside of the toilet. It’s more practical way to utilise the limited space in a small area.
你们是真的很会选择旅游城市，昆明非常的不错。
Yunan is one of the bigest Coffee bean production Region in the whole world, also the wine and Flowers, highly recommend to have another trip in Yunan Country side.
It’s the mushroom season in Yunnan. You’ll be able to eat super fresh in season/dozens of kinds of mushrooms in Kunming. Do find some nice restaurants that’s known for the mushrooms 菌子。
The sink is designed in this way so that you can wash your hands or do your makeup while someone else is using the toilet. There is no need for unnecessary waiting，which is a little more convenient.Also you can get a larger bathroom.❤
This depends on the hotel market in China. China doesn’t divide hotels into very detailed categories like others. Usually we vaguely divide hotels into express hotels (three-star hotels), mid range express hotels (four-star hotels), and high range hotels (five-star hotels). The hotel you are staying in is a mid range express hotel, and its room area is generally 18-30 sqm. Investors of this type of hotel have high requirements for RevPOS, so they will try to reduce some functional areas that are rarely used by Chinese people and improve more quality. With the development of the capitalized hotel market, similar designs are also used by most hotel designers. And If you have already arrived in Kunming, I suggest you go to Dali and Lijiang to experience the local luxury homestays！
50 yuan double cup of coffee I think is a little expensive, you can choose 9.9 yuan luckin
You guys visited 铁皮巷 for coffee , amazing ! My boyfriend and I like that area, many boutique coffee shops , we usually spent weekend afternoon there . Have a good trip in Kunming !
Thank you so much!!
Sooooo funny when you said you dont understand and the lady kept speaking chinese. It was so cute
they are racist in china for not speaking English
So friendly ….
2:05 It's very common for people in China to sign "ten (10)" by crossing the left & right hand's index finger. It's to represent the chinese character "十" for ten.
When you couldn't understand, the lady tried to explain by pulling out 2 x 5-yuan bill to tell you the price. its not because she only accepts cash.😁
p/s : Kunming is called the 'City of Eternal Spring' i.e. it's spring the whole year round. This is due to it's latitude (24 deg N) near the tropics & altitude (~2,000m).
Hope you guys have fun.
I suggest you go to Lijiang 麗江. Lijiang is a very beautiful ancient city and the most famous tourist attraction in Yunnan. It is worth your visit.
Just a tip for Chinese medicine: We usually put them in a small cup and in hot/warm water, then drink them all in one go. because they always taste really bad. Looking forward to the next video.
The Chinese grandpas were playing Chinese chess. It has somewhat similar rules to chess, but overall chess pieces move slower. There are 2 rooks, 2 horses (knights) (walk 2 forwards and 1 sideways), 2 elephants (bishops) (walk 2 diagonals), 5 pawns. Unique pieces includes 2 advisors, and 2 canons. The general (king) moves 1 horizontally/vertically and advisors moves 1 diagonally, and they can only move within a 3x3 area.
Just a couple of tips Josie. To know how much something costs, ask "duosao" as you do now, then give them the calculator on your mobile...that way they can input the price. That's why the fruit lady brought out the cash, it was solely to communicate the price, not to request payment in cash.
There are about 145 cities in China with over 1million population and all of them are pretty much developing their economies, tourism, infrastructure, preserving historical sites and architecture not to mention the different climate zones and landscapes, so there really are heaps of places to visit. I suggest applying for the One year, multiple entry visa available for Australians. You can stay for 90 days at a stretch, then you can go briefly out of China then reenter for another 90 days. You can do this repeatedly over the year.
Thanks for showing us everyday China and everyday folks!
Thank you for watching!!
For the 144 transit visa many tourist will leave to Hong Kong or Singapore then return back for another transit visa but I do recommend just get a 10 year multiple entries visa so many place to see in china it is worth the cost.
Thank you for sharing, let me see the application of technology in life
The taste of food varies greatly from place to place.
My guess you are heading to hualong and jiuzhaghou national park to see the color pool it is high elevation 3500 to 4000 metor good choice one of my favorites park with beautiful landscape been there 3 time it is too commercial and too many tourist now just take it slow I never need any high elevation medicine but carry oxygen to help breathing just in case.
In fact, you can take Rhodiola rosea a few days before going to the plateau. It is a pure plant medicine. You don't need to take too many western medicines. The local butter tea can also relieve altitude sickness. Try not to take a bath or drink alcohol on the first day. Just don't be too excited or too tired.
If the seller uses 2 index fingers to indicate a cross sign it means ten as the Chinese character for ten looks like a cross ie 十 while If he/dhe shows the thumb and little finger together it means six as in 六 😊
JOSIE！ YOU JUST CANNNNOOOOOOT LEAVE KUNMING WITHOUT TRYING THE ROSE CAKE/FLOWER CAKE！ ITS ILLEGAL LOLL
OMG！This is my hometown. I just came back home for the holidays. If I knew you were coming in advance, I would really like to be your tour guide and take you to have a good time in Kunming. In fact, Kunming is a city that is very worth exploring, although many people regard it as a transit station.But I hope you had a happy time in Kunming. If there is a chance next time, I hope to take you to have a good time in Kunming.
I think the reasons Chinese hotels put the sink+mirror out side of the bathroom is for the lady to do make-up more comfortable and enough times, if they do it inside of the bathroom,,, some take hours, that would be pissed off by the guys, who may need to go to the bathroom, maybe?
exactly right! I’d call this functional distribution. It’s usually room for two, thus both can use the necessary functions simultaneously!
reasonable …..mabybe
wow great idea to separate the bathroom sink with the toilet. Because when you flush your poop becomes aerosol.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 so true
At the end, you asked why the sink is separated from the bathroom in China. When decorating in China, there is a theory called dry and wet separation. Dry refers to the sink, because it is just a simple hand washing and brushing of teeth, and water will not be spilled on the ground, and the smell of the toilet will not affect the sink. Wet refers to the shower, because there will be water on the ground. So this is also the concept of home decoration in some Chinese families. The same difference between China and the West is also in the kitchen. Western kitchens are basically open kitchens because they have less smoke. Chinese cooking will produce a lot of smoke, so Chinese kitchens are separated by doors. These two examples are the differences caused by the different living habits of China and the West.
看到最后你有提问，为什么在中国洗手台会和浴室分离在外面。在中国装修的时候，有一个理论叫做干湿分离，干就是指的洗手池，因为只是简单的洗手刷牙，并不会把水弄到地上，同时避免马桶冲洗的时候气味影响到洗手台。湿指的是淋浴，因为地上会有水。所以这也是中国一部分家庭装修的理念。同样的中西方不同还有厨房，西式厨房因为油烟少，所以基本都是开放式的厨房。而中式的烹饪会产生很多油烟，所以中国的厨房都会有门隔离开。这两个例子就是中西方生活习惯的不同而产生的差异。
Exactly😂😂
From my experience, this is also the case in France.
恭喜你们终于走出新手村，进入更精彩的游戏时间。大理，丽江，欢迎你。
17:20 the lady says the shop just open and need time for the pan to heat it up
Thank you!! 😊 😂
What a cute city! When I first moved to L.A. I toured a few apartments where the sink was outside the bathroom because it was shared between the bathroom and the kitchen 🤢
That’s so LA 😂😂🤮🤢
Josie vlogs things, ❤❤❤ Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi🎉🎉🎉, Another Awesome Adventure, thank you so much for the sharing the real China to the world, I hope you will visit more cities and have a happy trip 😊😊😊.
the mushroom is so delicious in this season in yunnan.please dont miss this opportunity to try it
You're smart! Go to local small shop to eat which is cheap and tasty. Enjoy the local snacks😊😊
咖啡店老板那段是跨服聊天完美沟通了吧，人类的沟通能力太神奇了。
The sink outside the bathing/toilet area isn't that weird a setup. I've been to several hotels/motels in Canada and USA that had the same set up. It's just easier if there's two people, someone can still use the sink/vanity while someone else is taking a dump or having a shower at the same time. Plus, more vanity space to lay out your toiletries and the mirror won't get fogged up. No fridge is annoying if you're used to it, but food is really cheap there so most people would just buy from venders outside rather than store any water/food inside the hotel room fridge.
Headache medicine can also be used to treat altitude sickness. Just in case you should buy some
Visited Kunming only once and I absolutely loved the city.
Same!!! I really enjoyed it! 😁
the basen ist seprated from bathroom is during the one on toilet and the other one can still brush teeth, actually many chinese renovated at home like this
Since you have arrived in Kunming, you must go to DALI !!
The biggest feature of Luckin coffee is that every latte tastes different.
In China, you will find that the bill is for a certain amount and there are rarely any surprises out of budget.
Hi, I noticed that you are going to somewhere with a high sea level. Buying Rhodiola is a good idea, but we normally start taking it 2 weeks before going to high altitude areas. It just needs some time to take effect. But anyway, good luck to you.
Have a nice trip ~
Welcome to Kunming, hope you guys enjoy your time here.
Welcome to the spring city, my beloved hometown.
昆明是个好地方，一年四季如春，多山景色特别美，好吃的特别多。。。。

@@CriticalEchinozoa That's true. Same as the elderly here in Hong Kong 😓
Kunming is called Spring City, so the weather there is one of the best in China.

I think you are right. Yulong mountain! Don't suggest mushroom like 见手青😂😂😂

Love your video!❤
Thank you!! 🥰🥰
If you are going to Tibet or Shangri-la next (that’s what I m guessing), you can buy small oxygen bottles when you arrive there. That’s what I used to use when I go there. Nothing helps you better than a bottle of oxygen in high altitude. Also , some hotels are equipped with Oxygenated Rooms which will help you a lot. Enjoy your in-depth trip in China!
Thank you!!! You will see we used all of them! 😂 (well actually only one of us 😉)
@@josievlogsthings haha those small bottles of oxygen I usually put 2 in my backpack when I go out everyday while in Shangri-la or Lhasa Tibet. They are usually about 15-20 RMB per bottle. The Altitude of Shangri-la city is about 3600m, if you keep going towards Kawakapo mountain(Aka Meili Snow mountain), which is situated at the border of Yunnan province and Tibet autonomous region, you will reach about 4000m at some part, which will certainly make you feel it. Kawakapo mountain is one of the top Divine Mountain of the Tibetan ppl. That area is extremely beautiful , I used to drive there, the views which I will never forget.
You will have to watch my video on my large channel coming up this weekend! We are definitely over 4000m 😜
@@josievlogsthings can’t wait! I m going to Shangri-la this weekend from shanghai with my family!
The game that the old people are playing is called Xiangqi or Chinese Chess. It's a rather popular game among old people all across China.
I feel you guys are the type of people that can live in China for a long time. You are so appreciative of China. Get a longer Chinese VISA next time, get a conversation tranlator so you can you can do your daily life like natives. Stay out of the super big cities like Shanghai, Beijing... to see the beautifull nature of China
