The two kids speak 100% native-level Chinese. Fantastic!
Born in China, Study in Chinese primary school ever since. Two kids are taught with English, Dutch and Chinese. They are tri-languages master.
@@KrisVonCN Answered my question😃
@@STEM-democracy Dah😁
The two kids can be kids in China and be more intelligent than most adults in the west 😂
I’m OBSESSED 😂😂 so funny and cute
great outing, your kids speak incredible chinese
Thank you!!
its not just about the cost - positive vibes , recreation , cultures and ideas , bright future ahead of Chinese People
Being able to speak Chinese is very important for children because it allows them to have conversations and chats with their friends to the fullest, making their childhood even better.
Your kids speak native Chinese... How amazing
这二个小朋友中文太好了，母语者水平
日常用语两小孩都能够做到随意切换，David跟Ursula对小孩的教育非常成功。
都是在国内出生的
其实是中国人，中国出生和长大的，虽然可能没有中国身份证。
@@jon_yuan 那就不是中国人，
@@jon_yuan 别给别人乱安身份，这样惹人嫌，是不是中国人要具备两个条件。1.身份认同 2.身份证。你在非洲出生长大你就是非洲人？有没有非洲国籍，认不认为自己是非洲人？
This channel just pop out and wow I love your family vibe and fashion, as a fan of 80-90's rock bands it reminds me that era 😂😂😂
What a wonderful kids they are...
Love from Indonesia
Thanks Mary!! 🤘🏻
你的兩位寶貝真是太太太可愛了，老實説別生氣看這yt 就是為了這倆位
小天使尤其是古怪靈精boy 像極了爸媽表情生動又調皮而妹妹就像個文雅高貴lady 真為你們擁有這對子女相伴雀悅高興，祝你們全家在中國生活一切幸褔美滿，別忘了多發視頻太少了點。

Welcome back home soon❤

谢谢台湾同胞！
RUclips algorithms are so weird. I used to watch you guys months ago but then suddenly I see no more recommendations from this channel. I think RUclips secretly hate your wholesome videos from China. I need to binge watch lots of videos now.
Yeah, it’s really weird. Also many subscribers that turned on the notification bell don’t get a notification when we upload a new video. Disappointing but at least this video is doing well 😉! Welcome back!
same here
I actually subscribed a long time ago, but today I just found out unsunscribe. really werid.
@@CHINABEATBOX RUclips is sneaky like that. I hear from many subscribers they never even see our videos on their home screen! What’s that about? Weird
@@OurChineseLifeanything positive from china will be cens0red
your dog almost stole the show at the beach, love to see you guys having so much fun PEACE
Hah yes Toto loved the beach so much!
Not only is China cheaper than Western Europe, the food looks delicious, the places are cleaner, with great culture and atmosphere.
全家出遊的影片，總是讓人心情愉快、幸福感滿滿❤
I spent last summer at Guangzhou. It was memorable. Weather was nice , visited many historical places.
Did you go to the zoo? Tickets are only ¥20 and the zoo is very big and spacious
Western media and politicians are used to portraying China as hell. Thank you for sharing the truth.
You’re welcome
all the reason to never ever watch tv news media satelitte, terrestrial or otherwise.
@@hemiv8949 never believe what you’ve been told until you see it with your own 2 eyes 👀😉
Thanks for sharing your life in China with us
My pleasure 😊
I can't not believe it comparing to what I pay here in the US....
How much would you pay in the US?
@@OurChineseLife
Too much in all western countries, even more in western Europe.
@@OurChineseLife the hour long uber ride alone would be $100+ in LA lol
@@Toby-yz7wt Yes, Chinese Uber (Didi) is really cheap. I had a ride for 1 hr 15 mins in Shantao. It cost US$15. And the shortest ride I had. It was like a 8 -10 mins ride. It cost me US$1 only.
@@Toby-yz7wtalmost same as FL
'CNY 3 for the first 6 km (3.7 mi), CNY 4 for 6 to 12 km( 3.7 to 7.5 mi), CNY 5 for 12 to 22 km (7.5 to 13.7 mi) '
China's subway is 10x times cheaper than America , and it gets you almost everywhere !!!
If there was a subway near the hotel in Zhongshan we would definitely be using it, but we were on the coast, a little middle of nowhere, no choice but to taxi it up!
In fact, compared with buses, subway fares are on the high side.
China's public transport system is running at an unimaginable low price, and citizens take it for granted.
In China, there are still some families who don't have cars, but they don't find life inconvenient.
Subway 4 to 6 yuan. 1/5 vs ny city
Great day out and quite cheap considering all the food and taxi rides around!
Inflation in China is very low.
Super affordable , great living in Planet China !
Yes indeed!
Just noticed lots of people are traveling to China recently, it seems China's reputation might just be getting better!
I wouldn’t know about that. China opened its borders last year, and this year they made some special ‘free 15day visa’ arrangements for some countries like the Netherlands (but not UK) so that might be the reason more foreigners are coming over for a holiday ✈️
Talk about freedom, given the costs, you definitely were free to go out to enjoy your day without worrying whether you can afford it.
That’s right!
That's economic freedom 😊
Very very affordable.
100€, it is what costs me to take my little family of 4 for a normal lunch (dinner is more expensive) in France.
Thank you for your sharing.
Nice music and nice family. The future of the world will be bright (with such open-minded people like you).
Thank you
Yes that’s about the same price in the Netherlands for a family lunch! Thanks for watching!! 🫶🏻
I love smaller Chinese cities. Not only is it cheaper, but less crowded as well
Smart famely with positive vibe❤😊
Thank you 🫶🏻
$106USD for all that? For a family of 4 and during the holidays too. C'mon, I'm moving to China! You guys must love the south China weather (except during summer of course, lol). Btw, what you guys think about the incredible development of the Greater Bay Area?
How much would a similar day out cost in the US? Double price? The development is of course astonishing - its been great to watch it from the front row over the last decade 🤯
@@OurChineseLife
3 to 5 times.
One 40 minute taxi ride would more than likely cost over $100.
@@OurChineseLifeRough estimate (in UD$):
2 way taxi - $200
Lunch - $100 (excluding mandatory tips)
Dinner - $150 (X tips)
Snacks and stuff $50.
Total $500/-
The city is1，2 level city is so expensive,of course cheaper than western city..if they are go to 3,4,5 level city more cheap price..
the kids speak perfect chinese
🫶🏻
@@OurChineseLife Do they go to the local public school or international ones ?
@@tweedy4sg they metioned this in a previous video's comment section, but they go to chinese school (private though because they dont have a chinese ID to attend a public one)

I like China.
I was listening to Quiet Riot and Poison on the FM and now this video was recommended to me. So far, so good.
Awesome
Wow... The kids. Their mandarin are so good. Food heaven. Just like the kind of food you get at the street of Korea. From your accent I thought you guys were South Africans.
Thanks! Yes the food is so adventurous here and super affordable! David is from the UK and I’m Dutch 😉
@@OurChineseLife hello, I am Chinese living in Shanghai, i have just subscribed your bilibili❤,just want to know what is the bgm at the beginning of the video?sounds a little bit like disco in 1980s(my feeling may not be correct)❤
好开心見到你们一家吃喝玩乐，❤，祝福大家新年快乐，身体健康，心想事成，
Thank you! ❤️
Your kids speak excellent Mandarin! Happy to see you guys have a fun time!👍🏼👍🏼😃

Wow, true gem! I like your 70-80s vibe in your editing
Cool! We are true 80’s fans, growing up in that time makes us want to continue living in that time now 😉
F@#$ Me you guys are certainly enjoying life, salute to your kids able to speak Mandarin so fluently..... Love your Video!!
Thank you 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing🙏your kids speak fluent Chinese Mandarin 👍👍👍really caught my attention 😮wow wish I could speak like them👍👍👍
Thank you! Yes their Chinese is really good, wish I could speak like that too😂😂😂
Ｉn 2022, the permanent resident population of Guangdong Province is 126.568 million, accounting for 8.97% of the total population in the country. The nominal GDP is 135.7 trillion yuan, which is approximately equivalent to one Russia.
Nicely said 😉
I just went to Zhongshan for work right before Chinese New Year.
I wish I had the same opportunity to be able to speak both languages at such young age. So lucky Deedee and Freddie are growing up in this environment.
Yes it’s a real good opportunity and a valuable skill for their future!
Awesome funky vlog in 80s style!!
Wow❤
You look like an 1980's rock star !!! Holy Moses.
that's their theme. the 80s. and David actually is a musician. he is a rock star.😀
Axel and Slash at your service 🤘🏻
That was my first impression of the guy when I first saw him. He looks like Axl Rose when he was young!
Happy Chinese new year.
thanx! great video! i like that potato tornado! the most original Bing Tang Hu Lu is glazed haw berry, the rest kind are very new variants, began showed up on street no more than 15 years, while , the original/authentic haw berry version can be traced back to sevral hundred years ago. I believe it was originated around Beijing area, was called Peking back then.
Haha I like that, ‘potato tornado’. I will call it that from now on!
并不是
至少在清代就有各种水果的糖葫芦了，网上还能找到照片。最开始出现糖葫芦应该是宋代。
Freddy and Deedee's Chinese are sooooooo good!
Thank you! 😜
The best thing is no tip culture and extra tax in China! You pay what is exactly on the menu!
And Lots of times you even get a discount in the end 😂
其实是有税收的，只是被隐藏起来了😫这是我不喜欢的一点
Nice vibes! Great video! Have a happy life in China!
Love you family.
wow,cool music
I like the BGM❤❤
Talk so well brilliant
Welcome to China, that's great to see you guys a family enjoying the holiday and having funs in here, and the kids speak in mandarin so well, and they are very cute and polite, awesome!
Thank you 🫶🏻
The family 4 wheel bike rental in Singapore is SGD 50 per hour. So it is RMB 250 for 60 mins. Envy you!
What! That’s x5 more expensive 😂
Singapore's consumption is notoriously expensive in Asia
nice..
👍 right format n suitable truthful contents...great journey await with enlarge viewers. 😀
Adorable family
Thank you for keep sharing the life in China videos, make people know about the real life over there, and your lovely 2 children are bright, wish your family all the good luck and health.
You speak such good Chinese
Back to 80s nice🎉
So so lovely family ❤

Cool thanks!
Nice

I love your video. Very educating
Great thanks!
What a COOL family 🤘🏼 keep it coming
Thanks! ⚡️😎
Wow, your children speak Chinese like a real Chinese, amazing!
Like your video , Support from Turkey
Thank you very much!
Honestly... few of my American (white) friends who liquidated all their assets ($1 million USD) and bought the 20 year US treasury bonds at the peak of around 5.5% and moved to China to retired. So with around $50K USD annual interest, which is around $350K-$400K RMB, they say they can live comfortably in China's tier 2 or 3 cities. Here's the kicker... they are only around 45-50 years of age. (ex bay area programmers). One thing they really appreciate and value most in China is the public safety... don't have to worry about your kids going to school and might get shot, or get into drugs and gangs... they say those are priceless to them...it's like a peace of mind. And I ask them what do they do with their retirement life in China. They say it would take them more than 20 years to visit or travel to each different cities in China... like one different city per week, so four cities a month. 28 different cities in a year, 560 cities in 20 years... so I guess they would never run out of places to go in China.
@@cxplb 對啊，一百萬美金無可能在美國退休.
There's no such thing as a retirement visa in China.
@@308_Negra_Arroyo_Lane I didn't say anything about "retirement visa". A lot of Americans or foreigners have been staying in China over decades with just regular visa, you just have to renew the visa every 6 months or a year.
Our plan is one province a year, it will take us 30 years to, so we have to retire early otherwise can’t finish 😂
LoL. There is no such thing as a "regular visa".@@Fightback2023
That same day trip in the UK would cost 3 to 4 times as much, especially the taxi ride.
It’s amazing! Say hello to Brazil
❤🎉🇧🇷
Good show in Chinese new expensive city, the cost for day out in family of 4 plus taxies is still very affordable.
Beautiful outing for a Beautiful family on a beautiful budget
Thank you 🫶🏻
Super cute kids! Very polite too❤
Thank you 😊
I really like two sunshine kids ❤
Very nice family❤.
Thank you 😊
What a wonderful family! What a wonderful life!
Thank you! 🫶🏻
the korean bbq is so nice and good price
Very tasty too 😉
The price of Korean BBQ in Australia here is so expensive, I've gone to eat for only 3 times because I personally think it is really an unfair price.
My hometown, when I little, I like to walk sun men zhong lu.
Glad to see you also went to Zhongshan. I just returned from a week-long holiday there with my family spent in my second home back to Hong Kong. Very cozy city!
Very fun city and much cheaper than HK! 😂
It is recommended to eat some green vegetables when eating in Guangdong, which is good for the stomach and intestines
好家伙，今天甜食让随便吃呀😂小孩的眼睛都笑的眯起来了
your family looks like a team of rock! have a good day! (although it's night now😂)
Cool thank you! ⚡️
小朋友中文太好了❗
I usually have a dish of vegetable or bean every meal...
复古的感觉 🤟
Man that only cost for a dinner here
Wow 😯
很喜欢你们的打扮风格，复古且酷
Thank you! 🫶🏻
