    ➡️ If you're new here: hi, I'm Katherine from the United States 🇺🇸 I've been living in China 🇨🇳 for 5 years and after having graduating from my masters program in environmental engineering at Nanjing University, I am now working at an environmental organization called Green Zhejiang. I also run this video channel on the side to share interesting experiences and stories, especially focusing on rural / small town life. Some videos you may find interesting:

    This video was filmed with a combination of 2 different cameras, GoPro Hero 11 (selfie/widescreen shots) and Sony ZV1 (pretty much everything else)
    GOPRO: amzn.to/45rObZy
    This camera is the secret to how I get such stable footage even while biking and walking 🚴‍♀️ She's waterproof, shoots in 4K, and is very tiny and portable as well as extremely easy to use
    SONY: amzn.to/3RybfiU
    This camera is my B-roll queen, she nails the perfect lighting and focus to get beautiful shots to bring my videos to the next level 📷

    Thanks for joining, everyone! Follow on insta @ kats_journey_east or join my Patreon @ patreon.com/kats_journey_east for some bonus content! 🐂What do you think about this house's interior decor - would you like having such a colorful house? The rugs in my house are actually from Kashgar so I do genuinely appreciate their sense of style, although some of the clashing patterns are a bit over the top even for me 😂🏡

      They put everything they like the most in one spot, the guest room. That means they appreciate the guests immensely 😊! in Eastern Europe, in the countryside, they have almost the same concept guest room, which is always clean and organized only for receiving guests. The interior design matches the local traditions.

    Katherine, I can't put my finger on it but there is a definite charm to Aysajan's home. It has an almost mediterranean feel to it. To me, the simplicity and openness of the house seem to reflect the culture of the people in this region. As for the colours and decorations, well, it is bright and a contrast to the desert landscape! GREAT Vlog!❤❤

    ❤This house is quite modern with characteristically Uyghur decor and modern wallpaper. The yards are lovely. Look forward to seeing more vineyards in Kashgar. In traditional Uyghur homes you sit on colorful carpeted platforms that we would associate with beds so that living rooms would appear to be bedrooms. The doors and windows almost remind me of the Soviet Union (rather than traditional Uyghur).

    So vibrantly exotic and peaceful 💚The 葡萄架 and lovely gardens brought so much nostalgia for me. Every room's so colourful except for Aysajan's, maybe he does have some minimalist potential in him? I remember those "underwhelming" snacks from when I was little (we used to get those from the Muslim quarters together with 馕,烧卖,羊杂汤...), they were wonderfully tasty when the next best thing we had to eat back then was 馒头 😅. Personally I appreciate how they can make the flavourful dishes such as pilafs or kabobs stand out more. Anyways I'm glad Uyghur people still hold their traditional taste so close and dear to their hearts 🙂
