中国china travel vlog中国旅行Vlog上海shanghai travelshanghai travel vlog重慶北京広州深圳南京武漢成都天津What did you think of the marriage market?
It was interesting to see how parents and grandparents try to find partners for their children. It's very different from how things are done back home.
What was your favorite Chinese dish?
The roast duck was incredible! The skin was so soft, and the flavor was amazing.
What surprised you the most about China?
Probably how friendly the people were and how technologically advanced the country is. I also didn't expect the food to be so good!
What was your experience at the fake market like?
It was fun negotiating for that Fear of God shirt! I managed to get a good deal.
How did you feel about the constant surveillance?
It was a bit unnerving at first, but it didn't really affect my enjoyment of the trip. It seems to have kept crime very low.
