To those saying that the teahouse was a scam, it was not. I am aware of the scam, but that's not what it was. I did not pay anything for the tea, the owner (my friend's friend) was just being friendly and very generous. She even gave me a gift of a huge box of very expensive tea, handmade incense, an incense holder, and more all for free! I didn't want anyone to think negatively of the experience because it was very beautiful and honest.
Travellight I agree with you. Most of Chinese very friendly ,and in northern china people even more generous to friends. I think your Chinese friends can tell you guys very simple , pure , open minds to the new things without any ideology, every body like to make friends with nice people. You guys just awesome!
can you please ask your local friend about the full address or any contact details of the teahouse you went to the other night and send me a private message if the owner of the teahouse has good news about my request? cheers! and wish you all the best living and exploring the Middle Kingdom!
Travellight Compared with Hongkong, I prefer Shenzhen, because I personally feel that although Hongkong is very busy, but too crowded, the buildings crowded together, people crowded together, feeling very bad. I've been living in Shenzhen for two years and I feel very relaxed and comfortable. I'm glad you like it too
No doubt China is Beautiful, this city Shenzen is called the "Silicon Valley" of China. This city was a new well planned & well designed city. Long Live Pakistan China Friendship!!
I am Indian and I have been watching these videos from 'Travellight' and 'Where's Poppy' who are living and travelling in China. I can see how China is so much developed than India in terms of infrastructure. Cities are much more cleaner than Indian cities. I hope to visit China someday.
Im about to move to Shenzhen workin as a concept artist 4 a video game company, this video is very helpful, I feel even more excited, thx. Sidenote all da haters are hilarious, they are hating on a country when they have never set foot there, and they believe other people are the brainwashed ones, brah aint we supposed to be an open mined society?
Make sure you install wechat as soon as possible and ask a Chinese friend or colleague to send some money to your wechat wallet. It will make life so much easier.
When I first traveled to China in 2007 to teach English for a year, one of my favorite actives quickly became taking a walk after dinner with friends and exploring the narrow lanes of the subtropical city we lived in. With a couple of lamb or chicken skewers in hand, we were set to explore the city for the night. On our nightly walk to the river that ran through the city, we observed the people around us selling clothes from carts along the streets and students playing ping pong in a park. Everyone was outside doing something (or nothing) and you felt like you were a part of it. One of the best things about China is that you can walk out of your door and everything and everyone is right there waiting for you. As China continues to grow, more and more foreigners are choosing to travel, live, work, or do business in China. No matter what your reason for exploring this vibrant country, the below tips on how to get by during your first days will help give you the confidence to buy your ticket and go have fun in China. #MasterMyVideo #IAmSoFunny #ILikeYoursVideos #YoumakeMeLaughingALot #DontStopMakingVideos #ILikeYourMood #ILikeChinaAndCanada #IPreferAsiaToHaveATrip #SoCoolAndSmart #ILikeSZ #Shenzhen #China #Mainland #HK #HongKong #HighGDPOfChina #PowerNextCenter #travel #traveling #ChineseBillionnaire #PoliticsIsFordbiddenInChina #GoToChinaBeacauseThisLocalDestinationIsReallyCool #TryToManageWithTheMandarinLol #VacationIsFunInChina #VisitingChinaIsAFantasticWayOfFreedom #IDonTSpeakChinese #ChineseDonTSpeakEnglishLol #SeeItAtTheInstagood #TripGoToChinaSoCoolDestination #holiday #TakeSouvenirAndPhotoChina #TheMountainGreenValeyIsFun #TravellingIn5StarsHotelIsCheaperThanInEuropeAndUSA #tourism #tourist #instapassport #GoToPassToTraveForgoingToVisitChina
The secret teahouse is where some artists wants to have their own space and hide from the busy, fast pacing, material city life in China. It's definitely not for marketing. I've been to some places like that before in Beijing. Great video from a foreigner's eye.
The image we are given in America of China is that it is a backwaters. Shenzhen looks as sophisticated, if not more, than New York City, my hometown. Thanks for your video.
I travel quite a bit. More and more people are learning China is not just about human rights violations, censorship and people living from hand to mouth, which is the image the US media and information channels generally like to present of China.
Kay Flip But still...Why China had to give their best product to America/other countries, but leave the worst product to itself. Don't worry, I love China! I mean yeah, China made a lot of money, but still thou. I'm American Chinese.....
Your videos are really enhancing my curiosity about China. I'm glad you've decided to live in such a beautiful area, and use your videography skill to present intriguing vignettes of the city. Great work!
In my opinion because of the huge population (1.3 billion), you'll find the most extreme people in both end of the scale. Unfortunately it is the negative end that's most eye catching on media. That explains the impression people especially the westerners have on China. But for anyone who has a open mind and actually set foot there, it's actually better than many of the world's metropolitans
What a great experience Jordan the tea house.. I want to go to China 😊 Every place you have been too that looks amazing I want to go. Thanks for sharing great videos😀
Shenzhen looks stunning! I'm glad you are enjoying yourself in Shenzhen! Shenzhen was a small fishing village a few decades ago, now it's a booming high-tech city AMAZING!
DiscoverWithDima Shenzhen is China's center of scientific and technological innovation, like California in the United States, Shanghai is China's financial and trade center, similar to New York in the United States, and Beijing's political and cultural center
That song that you wanna know the name is called ‘挪威的森林’. The singer’s name is ‘伍佰’. He is a famous rock singer in China, and you can copy the singer’s name on the Net East music to download it. I hope you can enjoy it. I appreciate that you teach us speaking English! Thanks for your efforts. Ciao!
If you make another China video could you cover what it is like for an English speaking tourist to communicate with the local people over there in China? Thanks.
David Wong, very few people speak English in China, and even those that do, are either shy of communicating in English or have a thick accent. You might find a few speakers in a large city like Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen. Mostly, those who want to practice their language skills would try to befriend you. Considering that you're ethnically Chinese, many people would initially try to communicate with you in Chinese. But, its no big deal once they realize that you don't speak the language. I know a Brazilian guy who speaks very little broken English and no Chinese and he manages to live and work here in a small city in China.
shenzhen is a crappy city. These days arrogant shenzhen countizens address their town as one of the first tier cities in China. If u know about China, then u d assure that China only got 3 first tier cities, Beijing, Shnghai, and Guangzhou(Canton) in all aspect.
Shenzhen is a city very friendly to foreigners.A lot of common with Shanghai.But if you r interested in Chinese food ,Guangzhou should be on your list ,food there is so amazing.And it’s about 180km away from Shenzhen.
hey there. I'm a recent subscriber from China. loving ur videos. I just want you to know that nowadays if it's video about China, the comments will just go a little hmmmmmm, annoying. Lots of bashing on China and all that....That's just what we Chinese youtube users been experiencing. pls ignore those and enjoy your life. Anyway, have a nice weekend. （˶′◡‵˶）
Hi, i subscribed your channel since i saw your video. I've been living in Shenzhen for years, it's a magic city! If you have any question about this city, please let me know. Have fun !
Awesome vid. That such a beautiful place. Such a shame we can have anything like that is USA. People would destroy it. No respect for anything over here.
Thank you for the wonderful experiences you share with us and your efforts. Really enjoying it. What an amazing interesting vlog. The tea house is extraordinary.
Great to see you both again boy don't that place fantastic a heap better than when we saw it 10 years ago just moved up high on our revisit list. You both look a lot better and healthier than a couple of videos again the place must be suiting you both oh well thanks for the great video stay safe :)
You know that you don't have to explain yourself, this is your first hand experience. If people believe they receive the glory of truth and enjoy. If not too bad because you're sharing a awesome time of your life, I am so excited and happy for you. No way I could ever do what your doing, so dream away and continue to bless us with your precious adventures. God bless you abundantly.
this is the best artise side of china i ever see on youtube...this prove there is a group of people behind this town except nothing can be done on the muddy sea water.
I've been in Shenzhen for many years, never aware of those kinds of exclusive teahouse. Guess it is because I am not exclusive. lol You should sell those tea they gave you. From my point of view, I don't taste the difference between very expensive tea and very cheap tea. They all taste almost the same.
The expensive tea has luxury packaging and probably has less pesticide residue, which give people some sort of comfort. Besides, expensive tea does taste better, although I can hardly tell the different.
K S lol. Why it sucks? It is just I had been living there for 5 years and went university there, know lots about this city and want to see how foreigners see this city too. And I am not hired by Chinese goverment if you asked, and not everything is about the chinese goverment. Thanks for noticing that. I really appriciate that. hope you have a nice day.
I think the brown water at the beach is because there are three waterways into the ocean around that general area. I think it is called the estuaries where the fresh water meet the ocean water, resulting in the waterbed turning and browning of the water in the area. That is crucial for the maritime environment where the fish get plenty of nutrition due to the waterbed turning.
I am from Shenzhen and I haven't been back for 2 years really miss it. However, for foreigners to explore China I would recommend go to the west or other small cities, (like the you tuber "food ranger") instead of Beijing, Shanghai or Shenzhen. Because all these modern cities are are more or less the same around the world
Travellight fantastic. there are lots of tea house scam stories that start off the way your story did so I was worried for a second. Glad it was an amazing experience. I am based in Shanghai so if u ever need info feel free to ask. soundcloud.com/stephanie-fuccio/ep-22-religion-haircuts-and-french-expat-lens-documentary-december-27-2003-june-3-2017
it's better not trying this if they are stranger. she's lucky this time but not every time. we chinese even got scamed in this kind of things. if you like tea ceremony enjoy when you are with trusted chinese friends and also it's normally safe in Japan.
Hearing a knock, you open the door and - before you can even take in who is standing there, you smell something heavenly. There is an elderly man standing there, and a pretty girl, holding stacks and stacks of steaming hot pizza boxes. The man smiles, "We have come to give you the First Comment Award!" The girl beams. "And an INFINITE amount of pizza!" You are so excited, you cannot think of anything to say. The man opens the top pizza box and a small cloud of delicious steam floats out. Is it just you, or is the box glowing with manifest happiness? The man hands you the trophy, and the pizza. You are just about to bite into the slice of bliss when - "WAIT!" the girl takes out a camera. She angles the pizza just so. She begins taking photos, and more photos, and even more, and - you guessed it - more photos. Wait, is she taking a video now? She adjusts her camera. "Eating time now???" She giggles. "Just one more shot." She proceeds to take one more. And then another. And another. You slip into a dreamlike state. The clocks on the walls sigh into silence as time and space hangs suspended. Seasons pass. Seeds grow into trees, and those trees eventually turn to dust. Stars fade into oblivion. Time stretches on. "Just one more."
Asher Teo so what? I will never like or hate a person just because of his/her nationality- that's sth he/she born with: he/she does not do anything about it so why I should judge people because of sth totally out of their control? And if someone judges me because of where I am from, that's none of my business. That's just because his/her lack of basic education and I will only feel pity for him/her.
+Asher Teo Yeah, I love them because they deserve to! Of course, there will be some rotten apples in all nations but larger point is those Asian nations have too much in their roots to ignore. That being said, I like the US but not many creeping from my southern borders! And, why is that? Canada is cool for me, although many here make fun of them! :)
never been to Shenzhen before, but I'm glad you all like it. I strongly advise you go somewhere else nearby, like Guilin, or maybe even Lijiang. I'm not a traveler though, but there are really a lot places you guys should check it out in China.
It was free - not the scam, which I am aware of. This was completely different, and the girl that owns the teahouse even gave me a box of very expensive tea, incense, and many other gifts!
Absolutely love your videos. I cant wait to go back to China. I was there in Sept. 2016. I went to Hong Kong, Macao, Zhangia, Zhangjiajie, Shen Zen, and a few towns in between. Loved it.
Hi Jordan， the song is called the Norway's Forest by Wubai. Name in Chinese 挪威的森林 Singer: 伍佰 its actually a classic song from the 90s. Hope you enjoy China! ^^
My father lives in Chengdu, China which is close to Shenzhen and I have been to China twice in my life. I am 14 lol. I really love this place and also I feel myself lucky that I will move to China after 3 years from now. Settle a life there. 😍😍😍
Where is our friend, Jordan? We haven't heard from her in some time. She went off to Egypt, and I hope that all is well with her there. Will be glad to receive any information.
Wow!! I used to live in China as a kid. This makes me want to go back so bad!! One day!! So glad to see you enjoying it! Did you have any issues communicating? Do people speak much English in Shenzhen?
The teahouse is sooooo COOL!!! I've been one or two like that, but definitely not that high level like the one you went to. That is totally run by an artist. That's so cool!
To those saying that the teahouse was a scam, it was not. I am aware of the scam, but that's not what it was.
I did not pay anything for the tea, the owner (my friend's friend) was just being friendly and very generous. She even gave me a gift of a huge box of very expensive tea, handmade incense, an incense holder, and more all for free!
I didn't want anyone to think negatively of the experience because it was very beautiful and honest.

I've been living in Shenzhen for two years and I feel very relaxed and comfortable. I'm glad you like it too
you never considered hong kong as a place to live?
Inquisitve m Having lived there for more than a year ，is a good place to work. But I felt uncomfortable, and I hated being crowded, so I left
我在国外多年，当有人回复：我讨厌中国，我都没啥感觉，也不想反驳，懒得解释，因为在国外接触久了，你会发现那是立场，而不是不知道真相，简单概括就是：他们不希望中国好。请那些写一堆蹩脚英语的留学生也不要再解释了，没有偏见的人你无须解释，有偏见的人你越解释越起副作用。中国被西方丑化100多年，你还在乎多几年吗？不如把井盖扣上，让他们自娱自乐
海外媒体流言太多了，前段时间看了个视频说中国向国外出口人肉，竟然还有很多人信，真是秀智商。中国也很自由，但不允许造谣传谣。自由不代表着可以无底线的做任何事情。中国封杀境外媒体是有原因的。
Wei zhang 我非常同意, 我们没有义务为一切愚蠢的偏见做解释...
天天看类似China uncensored 长大的外国人，就像被蛇精调教大的七娃，没治。我觉得别人的看法不重要，各位中国人应该努力，把我们国家建成能和汉唐比肩的伟大时代。
一开始我遇到这些抹黑言论还老是解释，后来我变成顺着他们说了。因为我明白了一个道理，在过去的三十多年，正是这些不断抹黑掩护了中国的战略崛起，中国崩溃论远优于中国崛起(威胁)论。所以我呼吁大家，以后再遇到这些抹黑言论的时候就随声附和吧，让那些sb们继续蒙在鼓里，而我们继续闷声发大财。
总结:"闷声发大财"。。。
No doubt China is Beautiful, this city Shenzen is called the "Silicon Valley" of China. This city was a new well planned & well designed city. Long Live Pakistan China Friendship!!

China was once like India -- maybe poorer. This should show that it is mainly a matter of time more than anything else.
Welcome to China
One-hundred thumbs-up! China never ceases to amaze me. Beautiful country and innovative people.
David Ben-Abraham Mark Kitto doesn't think so
You're becoming my favourite channel! Love the tea house and how you shared in their culture. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Im about to move to Shenzhen workin as a concept artist 4 a video game company, this video is very helpful, I feel even more excited, thx. Sidenote all da haters are hilarious, they are hating on a country when they have never set foot there, and they believe other people are the brainwashed ones, brah aint we supposed to be an open mined society?
that is a very fair comment
Tony Stark well said.
Make sure you install wechat as soon as possible and ask a Chinese friend or colleague to send some money to your wechat wallet. It will make life so much easier.
As a Chinese, I've never been to Shenzhen, but after watching your video, I definitely want to go there! Thanks for the video!
没去过深圳不是很正常嘛......
你去过中国哪些地方？你当中国是韩国呢？
北上广深 深真的最低调了 作为深圳人 觉得深圳的天空真的很美
Come to ShenZhen in autumn，it is the best season of here
听说深圳的物价很贵？没去过
I'm loving China through your videos! Shows the cultural center of the world is shifting back to the east.
Steve Blaine Haha,welcome to China if u want!

So beautiful!! The tea house looked so calming I'd love to experience that someday! Great video as always Jordan!
@Melissa Jernigan Her RUclips videos are one of the best in quality, beautiful footage with amazing music.
The secret teahouse is where some artists wants to have their own space and hide from the busy, fast pacing, material city life in China. It's definitely not for marketing. I've been to some places like that before in Beijing. Great video from a foreigner's eye.

Wow, Shenzhen is so beautiful. It's definitely one of places I would like to visit one day. Thanks for this amazing tour of the city, Jordan.
In my opinion because of the huge population (1.3 billion), you'll find the most extreme people in both end of the scale. Unfortunately it is the negative end that's most eye catching on media.

They even served whiskey in the proper Cognac tulip glasses ! ...hows is that for detail and refinement ?
the song is called 挪威的森林 in chinese, means forest in Norway, song by a Taiwan singer called Wubai
Cheers for featuring our music Travellight ! :D
+subbed !
Thanks for sharing the positive side of China to the world,have a nice trip in China.
why would anyone say its a scam? thats so rude.
it's called racism

I see. Thanks for the explaining. I heard people dump the first time brewing water, in order to get rid of the pesticide residue.
Jerome Lee you are always on show in every shenzhen video. it sucks and are you hired by chinese gov?
K S lol. Why it sucks? It is just I had been living there for 5 years and went university there, know lots about this city and want to see how foreigners see this city too. And I am not hired by Chinese goverment if you asked, and not everything is about the chinese goverment. Thanks for noticing that. I really appriciate that. hope you have a nice day.
Hi i'm curious are you an ABC or just a Chinese that speaks fluent english
Poppy takes me here, love both your work
I love China ❤❤❤
China is not that good, and not that bad too. Depends on your positive thinking or negative thinking. I love this channel. Be positive, be reasonable.
I think the brown water at the beach is because there are three waterways into the ocean around that general area. I think it is called the estuaries where the fresh water meet the ocean water, resulting in the waterbed turning and browning of the water in the area. That is crucial for the maritime environment where the fish get plenty of nutrition due to the waterbed turning.

You are right. Many Chinese cities are losing their own characteristics in the wave of economy growing. I cannot tell whether it's good or not.
Wow the teahouse was so intriguing and you were very lucky to have that experience. Seemed authentic to me.
Nice video. I've subscribed. Makes me want to come back to China soon.
OCT and the wider area is a very nice part of Shenzhen, glad you found your way there...
I can watch this video a million times.
The song you wanna know is 挪威的森林 by 朴树. The name of the song is literally "Forest of Norway".
how much was the tea house experience?
Completely free and the owner even gave me many gifts :)
Travellight fantastic. there are lots of tea house scam stories that start off the way your story did so I was worried for a second. Glad it was an amazing experience. I am based in Shanghai so if u ever need info feel free to ask.

lol thought you got tea scam
it's better not trying this if they are stranger. she's lucky this time but not every time. we chinese even got scamed in this kind of things. if you like tea ceremony enjoy when you are with trusted chinese friends and also it's normally safe in Japan.
The name of the song on 7:10 is 挪威的森林(Nowaygian forest) by a Taiwanese singer named 伍佰(Wu bai)
Great video！
the song is "Norwegian Forest" , by the great Taiwan singer Wu Bai. One of my very favourite songs!
Awesome video! Thank you for the promotion
Thanks! So glad that I found your channel, love the music!
Thanks for sharing! Shenzhen is a beautiful city!!
first!!!! 😍👌
Hearing a knock, you open the door and - before you can even take in who is standing there, you smell something heavenly.
There is an elderly man standing there, and a pretty girl, holding stacks and stacks of steaming hot pizza boxes.
The man smiles, "We have come to give you the First Comment Award!"
The girl beams. "And an INFINITE amount of pizza!"
You are so excited, you cannot think of anything to say. The man opens the top pizza box and a small cloud of delicious steam floats out. Is it just you, or is the box glowing with manifest happiness?
The man hands you the trophy, and the pizza. You are just about to bite into the slice of bliss when -
"WAIT!" the girl takes out a camera. She angles the pizza just so. She begins taking photos, and more photos, and even more, and - you guessed it - more photos. Wait, is she taking a video now? She adjusts her camera.
"Eating time now???"
She giggles. "Just one more shot." She proceeds to take one more. And then another. And another.
You slip into a dreamlike state. The clocks on the walls sigh into silence as time and space hangs suspended. Seasons pass. Seeds grow into trees, and those trees eventually turn to dust. Stars fade into oblivion. Time stretches on.
"Just one more."
nice poem lol

. you look hapa
Im so in love with your videos in China and the way you edit your videos!! Very good work!! Keep on doing these videos ^-^
finally someone that loves China and not Japan
Ichabod I am chinese and I am from Shenzhen, but why it matters if someone like China but not Japan? What's the point?
How secure is china in Shenzhen? What language do you speak? Mandarin or Cantonese?
Asher Teo so what? I will never like or hate a person just because of his/her nationality- that's sth he/she born with: he/she does not do anything about it so why I should judge people because of sth totally out of their control? And if someone judges me because of where I am from, that's none of my business. That's just because his/her lack of basic education and I will only feel pity for him/her.
+Ichabod I love Japan a lot. I love China. I love India too. Do you have a problem with that?
+Asher Teo Yeah, I love them because they deserve to! Of course, there will be some rotten apples in all nations but larger point is those Asian nations have too much in their roots to ignore.
That being said, I like the US but not many creeping from my southern borders! And, why is that? Canada is cool for me, although many here make fun of them! :)
I was missing ur vlog for a while Good to see that u back ^_^
Poor guy, always have to wait some one take the foto before eat. 23333
Glad you enjoy Shenzhen. I am loving your videos!!
only in China.......FRIE Alarm😂😂😂
Yes Livio and I always joked about setting it off and millions of french fries would fall from the ceiling! LOL
Travellight funny~~
lol
never been to Shenzhen before, but I'm glad you all like it. I strongly advise you go somewhere else nearby, like Guilin, or maybe even Lijiang. I'm not a traveler though, but there are really a lot places you guys should check it out in China.
Crossing my fingers you didn't fall for the teahouse scam. Did you have to pay for your tea?
It was free - not the scam, which I am aware of. This was completely different, and the girl that owns the teahouse even gave me a box of very expensive tea, incense, and many other gifts!
Oh good!
+Lee Entertainment Channel you act like a clown to beg for attention
troll中文怎么说？
Shanell 钓鱼=troll lol
The song at 7:12 is 挪威的森林(Norwegian Wood), though it shares nothing in common with the Beatles one except for the title
Glad to see that you are discovering the beauty of China. I follow and enjoy your travel log.
Absolutely love your videos. I cant wait to go back to China. I was there in Sept. 2016. I went to Hong Kong, Macao, Zhangia, Zhangjiajie, Shen Zen, and a few towns in between. Loved it.
Again those blue eyes of yours are really mesmerising. That tea house sounds really interesting, good to keep it hidden.
so glad that you enjoying China!! Have fun
The 18-year old tea things tend to be like tulipmania since tea leafs are best serve in fresh.
i love shenzhen!!!!! visit there everytime i go to hongkong :D such a difference between both cities and such great shopping!!
The song is called 挪威的森林（the forest in Norway 🇳🇴)And the original singer is 伍佰（5 hunnid) From Taiwan
feel like watching this video the entire day!!! Fantastic!!!
The song which you heard in the park called Norwegian Wood（挪威森林）.
Glad you enjoy your life in China...
There will be endless surprises for you, in both ways...
That song in the park is called 挪威的森林 （Norwegian Wood），same name as that Japanese novel
the whole Shenzhen citizen are loving you too !
I have never been to Shenzhen before...feels interesting watching foreign friends showing Shenzhen to me
Hi Jordan， the song is called the Norway's Forest by Wubai. Name in Chinese 挪威的森林 Singer: 伍佰 its actually a classic song from the 90s. Hope you enjoy China! ^^
My father lives in Chengdu, China which is close to Shenzhen and I have been to China twice in my life. I am 14 lol. I really love this place and also I feel myself lucky that I will move to China after 3 years from now. Settle a life there. 😍😍😍
Glad you like it out there and thanks for sharing . I did not picture China to be like this.👍👍
I love this video and btw the song is 挪威的森林（The Norwegian Woods）and 光辉岁月（The Glorious Days）
It's also hot there, you should prevent heatstroke (or sunstroke).
As a Shenzhener I am happy you like our city~
Where is our friend, Jordan? We haven't heard from her in some time. She went off to Egypt, and I hope that all is well with her there. Will be glad to receive any information.
Wow!! I used to live in China as a kid. This makes me want to go back so bad!! One day!! So glad to see you enjoying it! Did you have any issues communicating? Do people speak much English in Shenzhen?
name of the last song is "nuo wei de seng lin" by singer wubai, you can seach it on baidu.
in Chinese: 挪威的森林 by 伍佰
That's my city! thank you for showing these to ppl who have never been to Shenzhen. Yes Shenzhen is fxxking amazing.
The teahouse is sooooo COOL!!! I've been one or two like that, but definitely not that high level like the one you went to. That is totally run by an artist. That's so cool!
Yes!!!! This is my home.I go to OCT every weekend! This makes me miss home so much!
