Hey Josie! Been watching your China videos for the past week now and absolutely loved it. As a Chinese myself just thought I'd bring up a few things that might be helpful to you: 1. It's not rudeness when people don't reply to your "Nihaome (how are you)" (cuz I see you confused a couple of times after being ignored 😂) , that's simply because we do not use such, how do I put it, such greeting routines in China. "Nihaome" is a very formal greeting phrase that is almost never used in a daily convo. In the west (in the few languages that I know), "how are you" is like a respectful convo starter, but not in China, that's why they look confused and they don't know how to respond or they just simply ignore your "Nihaome" 😂. We do use different lingo in different regions to ask how's the other person been (but usually to someone you already know, not any stranger on the street that is). Call it a cultural difference 😅 2. When you praise the food, you've been saying "henhaochi (very tasty)", and that's usually used to describe food because it's translated literally to "it's very good to eat". But I've seen you saying "henhaochi" to drinks (coffees, juices, etc.) and people get confused because we separate "eat" and "drink", when it's a drink you say "henhaohe (it's good to drink)" and people will understand you a lot more (also "meiwei" - "delicious" is a very literal and formal word, people might think you came out of a old movie from the past 😂, try to stay away from it) 3. When you respond to yes or no question, try to say "Dui (correct)" or "Shide (yes)" instead of saying "shi" because that will make your response more understandable. 4. Try to stay away the night markets that are next to a commercial area (a mall, city center, etc.) because these are vendors selling stuff to tourists (domestic or international alike) and they taste more or less the same with a lot of sauces going into it that are bad for your taste buds. Try asking the reception to help you find some good local places to try (I was going to recommend a few apps but it seems that there's no English version of these apps 😅). 5. Coming back to Business Class, when it's domestic flights, your business class seat is already way better than my previous experiences (I've flown China Southern from Guangzhou to Shenyang - my hometown, and the business class was literally just bigger seats, like Premium Economy), the decent business class seats are usually international flights which I'm sure wiht the growth of your channel, you'll be able to try out soon 🎉 All the best for your adventure and I'll be checking your videos out to see if there are more things I can help you with! P. S. is it just me or Michael looks like a larger version of Channing Tatum? 😂 X
At a Chinese airport The noodle is usually(not always) served in the form of plain noodles when you get it and you have to go to the other section for sauces, condiments, and toppings. Those together make up the actual flavor of the noodle dish. This is like a semi-self serve dish where you get to decide what YOU like for your noodles. The lady at the noodle section seemed to be telling you to choose your own toppings. Lol maybe that’s why you had plain noodles haha😂
Very useful tip, many thanks from the states. I prefer to utilize the extensive HSR network China has constructed, but this will come in handy on my flight out I'm sure! Chinese people are always so helpful in the comments, I ought to personally thank you for such kindness
If you want to learn about China history, welcome to Shanxi Province. As the saying goes, if you want to learn about above ground cultural relics, go to Shanxi; if you want to learn about underground cultural relics, go to Shaanxi
If you had planned your trip like 1. Beijing➡️ 2. Xinjiang➡️3. Kunming➡️ 4. Lijiang➡️ 5.Lahsa , Michael would feel much better in Tibet. Anyway, if you're going to visit the Heavenly Lake of Tianshan Mountains, it's 1900m, he will be fine I think.
@@iloveindiandfood557 I am from sea level, been to Xinjiang many many years before, was deeply touched by the hospitality of the people their and amazed by the stunning scenery( heavenly lake of Mt . Tianshan), the foods especially the fruits. Watermelon there has the natural flavour that i had long missing, totally different from the seedless watermelon imported from Singapore that we could buy in the supermarket.
I see what you meant. We were on an Australia princess cruise last year and with their medallion e-tag we wanted to see our itinerary but our personal details were shown on the big screen next to the lift for everyone to see too. So not private! But then we had nothing to hide.
Btw, this is Airbus A330-200. You are lucky, this seat arrangement is not the typical layout on their A330. A lot of them are 2-2-2 in business class instead of 1-2-1
7:35 basically airlines change their plane fleets over time as they want to get newer and more efficient planes so they can earn more money the newer planes also comes with newer interiors which give customers a better experience
The Chinese sign says "VIP Resting Room" - maybe that's why they have so many chairs instead of desks for people to work...they really take the sign to heart and design the area accordingly...😂
Those slippers are brand new and disposable one-time use, often offered for free at hotel rooms and business class train or airplane rides. No fungus 😂
I’ve only flown business once (I gave up my seat on an overbooked flight and instead got upgraded) and I slept through the whole flight. It’s been like 18 years and I’m still a bit mad about it 😂.
Dear Eastern Airlines Lounge is most famous for the bowl of noodle soup, I'm sorry you didn't add delicious ingredients. Only took the noodles, next time please do not miss!
Once you fly business class with other airlines, you will know that Chinese carriers are a bit below average. Depending on the aircraft and staff, your experience will differ of course. The food on Chinese airlines are very... meh. Better than train food though. You got a nice aircraft for a short-haul flight.
7:20 As a land service staff, the female China Eastern staff is playing with her mobile on the business class passenger bus. What I feel is, she is not professional. China Eastern Airlines needs more training to their staff in order to compete with other airlines and to be a 5-star airlines. I can see Hainan Airlines's staff/crews do better and more professional than China Eastern Airlines.
Australia’s camels are not native and in the middle of the country. 99.9% of people in Australia live on the coast line = not in the middle of the desert. Camels are not common to see 😊😊
Hey, that looks more like 1st class than a business class! I don't believe that you'd get this nice accomodations in business class from other flights. Nice vlog!
@@ChrisHereToday China is still under "communist" rules.. and imagine when the officials travel, how will that look if they take the "First Class".. this is way before China becomes the economical giant.
On the table next to you are various toppings that can be added to the noodles, including tomatoes, eggs, and meat. I see you didn’t add these, the noodles taste tasteless
Try to say 'wo bu mingbai' express you don't understand, then, they may try to explain to you. When they hear 'wu bu dong' most of them will keep silent, because they feel difficult to make you understand.
No offense…If you don’t like having your name on the screen for everyone to see, I’m curious whether the people on the shuttle bus like having their faces shown in your video😂 that’s basically the same concept lol
Hello from 🦘. Actually, the plane you were onboard is China Eastern's Airbus A330-200 with internal code 33H. The plane is around 10 years old, the product isn't that kind of appealing.
Great vlog. Hope this helps cover your business flight experience

Great Video And Info
Indian netizens said that their country is 20 years ahead of China. I don't know if it's true or not.
Check how many medals they won in this Paris Olympic and their ranking on the medal lists.
Btw, this is Airbus A330-200. You are lucky, this seat arrangement is not the typical layout on their A330. A lot of them are 2-2-2 in business class instead of 1-2-1
CHINA EASTERN IS NOW CHANGING THE MAJORITY OF A330 TO 1-2-1 CONFIGURED BUSINESS CLASS

omg her Chinese improved a lot , can speak basic words, it’s incredible, I cannt speak anything …
Camels are my favourite animal! I used to live next to a camel farm in Broome. They were so fun to watch. They have the most beautiful lashes. 😍🐪
Those slippers are brand new and disposable one-time use, often offered for free at hotel rooms and business class train or airplane rides. No fungus 😂

About the noodle, you forgot the toping . Like the staff shows you the topping which are in the pots that are on your right.
I didn’t forget it. I didn’t want it. ☺️

Hi to you too!
Can't believe you've never seen a camel with all your travels or even in Australia.

@@josievlogsthingsAnna Bay’s camel riding is quite popular. And it’s a unique experience to ride a camel on the beach.

Hey, that looks more like 1st class than a business class! I don't believe that you'd get this nice accomodations in business class from other flights. Nice vlog!
In China, Business is above First class.. both train and plane.
Interesting observation, maybe you are right
@@ChrisHereToday China is still under "communist" rules.. and imagine when the officials travel, how will that look if they take the "First Class".. this is way before China becomes the economical giant.
It's just business class. Some short-haul flights do not lie flat, but she got a newer aircraft.
@@VampireA-Oni For trains, yes. For planes, no. Because it goes by international standards.
Nice vid.
On the table next to you are various toppings that can be added to the noodles, including tomatoes, eggs, and meat. I see you didn’t add these, the noodles taste tasteless
Like your videos! ❤
When talking about comfort, taking a business class seat in a bullet train is a much better choice.
I want to try, maybe soon one day
Try to say 'wo bu mingbai' express you don't understand, then, they may try to explain to you. When they hear 'wu bu dong' most of them will keep silent, because they feel difficult to make you understand.
Word. The former basically means I didn’t follow you and the latter means I don’t speak much Chinese
Did you figure out how to work that TV?
Yes luckily 😂 but I ended up just watching my downloaded Netflix movie hahaa
