    Special thanks to Omeida Chinese Academy for sponsoring this video. Study Mandarin in China and use my discount code 'monkeyabroad' to get 200 RMB off: bit.ly/2UgZ6PS

      Hey Kevin, great video, I really enjoyed watching it. Maybe it is more or less a boring topic to cover, but is there any chance you can go into more detail on your visa in china?

      Hi Kevin I've been watching your RUclips videos for a long time and a week ago I signed up for a Bai Ci Zhan tomato English lesson called "Buzz around Los Angeles" and I was like why this guy looks so familiar, it was you!!! I never knew you used to work with Bai ci zhan. So have you lived in Chengdu before? Now you are in Yang Shuo so I was super surprised to find you as the host. You are so handsome in the videos and I learnt a lot from you. Last week I learnt the hollywood, surfing, pink wall, uber and NBA, while today I just finished learning the electrical appliances video in Beverly Hills. Let go man!!!!!
