Thank you for this excellent video. So clear and informative. Ican’t wait to experience China. I watch all Chinese series on Viki. I especially like the costume dramas, Dynasty and historic series. I also love the language because it is musical and soft. I’ve tried to watch some Korean series which are good but the harshness of the language grates on the ear. At one time I worked for some Chinese people and was amazed to find they had the same sense of humour as us and were such hard workers. I was so impressed. I’m trying to learn the language at the moment but as I am in my 70s, find it very hard, it is fascinating though and very interesting to study more so than any other language. I like the Chinese people I have met and can’t wait to go there where the films are made. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and huge, I can’t wait to see it.

The freedom to go anywhere at anytime in your own country without fearing for the safety of your life. And lets not even talk abt cleanliness.

The city used to be very crowded because traditionally people all lived in the CBD, however in the past few decades when more and more new MRT lines were built extending to outskirts of the city, the government asked people to relocate to outskirts 2-3 hours from city centre and paid them 3 million to 5 million RMB as compensation depending on the home size and number of people of the family. People were given a choice of either buying a new home with cheaper price or moving to the apartments government built. After people were moved out, government knocked down all the old houses and build skyscrapers, some of the houses demolished were historical and 200-300 years old including these built by Britain and France during 1840-1945 era of international settlements in Shanghai. Shanghai had been ruled by a dozen of western nations and there were British, French, American and Japanese concessions, they were Indian policemen patrolling British concession and Vietnamese policemen patrolling French concession. There were tens of thousands American seamen, Jewish refugees from Europe and Russians living in Shanghai. There is an office building of Korean government in exile in Shanghai after Japan invaded Korea.

Not all soup dishes the soup is supposed to be eaten. It depends on the dish type. Some soup noodles for example, the soup is equivalent to condiments like soy-sauce, ketchup etc, just used to flavour the noodle but not supposed to be eaten by itself once the noodles' are finished. Some soup noodle the soup is supposed to be finished, because it's not made to be condiment to the dish itself. So be careful, by finishing 'soup' when it's not really soup.

AGAIN ive never been to shanghai personally..... ive only been to hk.... so maybe shanghainese people dont finish everything and is wasteful???? and also disclaimer im aware that some of the foods it would be impossible to finish off everything like say for example the TONS of chillis and chilli oil in a hotpot... thats for the flavour, thats essentally like soy sauce for flavouring or for dipping..... when i see that going to waste its sort of hurts but i understand thats impossible to drink all of it lol.... anyway not a negative comment or whatever i was also coming down the comments wondering if shanghai people waste alot of food lol..... again im chinese but in the uk and have never been to shanghai and this fact alone n the video would be culture shock for me lol!! i would personally WANT to finish everything served to me and not let any of it go to waste.... barring erm big bowls of chillis or chilli oil in a hotpot or dips obviously
You really don't have any idea about "Western Food". Take the soupy Chinese beef noodles for example. You get the noodles in a nice beef broth and it cost about 12 - 15 yuan in a small restaurant. In western country, you order that broth as soup and it cost you over USD$10/-. So next time, drink that damn broth.

I have more experience of Chengdu, which is also a mega city with 21 million people living there. May I add a a couple of things that was a positive experience for me when I first came to Changdu in 2015. It's very clean. - No trash or grafitti. There is none of that. - Well dressed people. Especially the young (maybe up to their fourties) dress very well. No sloppyness, showing their crack, wear down jeans och shoes. Very tidy people. (Except from some who spit in the street. There are more of that than back in Sweden I can tell - Sense of safety. I can walk ANYWHERE in the city and not feel threated by violence. Girls sit in parks after dark doing their homework and noone approach them. And in coffee shops. The chair and tables and be left outside without them getting thrown around, stolen och trashed. They are not chained down at all. And public toilets. Very very clean, atleast in Chengdu. And again, you can go there without someone approaching you. I'm aware that the above is not 100% true all the time. What is your experience? I'm asking the people in the comment section here :)

In fact, the preference of Chinese people for white skin is a historical phenomenon, as in the past, people who engaged in heavy physical labor were usually outdoors, which led to their skin being very dark. Chinese people, due to their desire to become wealthier people, have led to an aesthetic trend towards white skin. This is also why Europeans initially described Chinese people as "white people like us" when they arrived in China, because their hosts were wealthy people who did not need to work outdoors, so their skin was not tanned, and most of them had white skin

Not right about not finishing your soup. I am a Chinese and I always finish the soup whenever possible, hate wasting good food. Only when the soup is too salty or not so nice, do I leave it unfinished. If you have a meal at a Chinese home, it is best to finish everything, it shows your appreciation of the food, that it is good food (just the opposite of what you said in the vid). Your host may offer you more if he sees your bowl is empty, just politely refuse (it is OK) by saying you are full already.

I found the 7th very interesting! Haven’t noticed that before. There’s a lot of reasons to explain why people don’t finish their food. The one you mentioned counts one. And sometimes as a restaurant owner or a host if you don’t provide enough food (to some extent it means beyond regular size) people might not think you’re as friendly as they expected. Though there’s another Chinese traditional culture is don’t waste food. But I’m confused as well because from my experience I think it really depends on situations and it is very hard for us to finish noodles, especially the noodles dish when you eat out. 🤣 On the other hand, modern Chinese culture cares more about the way they look, like the 3rd culture shock. Eating less is another way to show how they care about the calories they intake, for the young female generation especially. I’m living in a western city and I found it’s very easy for me to finish a pasta dish but there is always something left in my Asian noodle bowl. 😂

The culture shock you experienced is very interesting! We should know that China is not a country but a civilization in a sense. Imagine that it is composed of 1.4 billion people with different customs. Even the dialects of people in the southeast and northwest are different. In China, most Chinese people do not understand the dialects of other regions, which is totally different from the accent. Different cultural customs have created different food cultures, and the differences are beyond imagination! You can assume that China is regarded as a unified European country. The core of Chinese culture lies in cultural identity, ancestral identity, and the pursuit of inclusiveness and harmony. Chinese people love peace and do not take the initiative to provoke disputes. They advocate moderation and benevolence. They have a completely different world outlook from the West. There is no zero-sum game thinking in the West! I wish you have a good time in China and everything goes well! Greetings from a Chinese!

Actually, there are no panhandlers in China. It’s illegal to beg for money on the streets in China. Poverty in China has been eradicated and the government has implemented many programs to help the poorer people. Unlike the western countries, panhandlers and homeless people are everywhere. I recently visited San Francisco in California USA and stayed at a 5 star hotel in downtown. I paid $300 US dollars per night. I didn’t see any homeless people around the street of the hotel. But as soon as I walked down 2 blocks, I saw so many homeless people sleeping on doorways, tents, cardboard boxes. They urinate and defecate on the streets. If you’re not watching your steps, you can easily step on the urine and feces if not the homeless person. They panhandle very aggressively and if you don’t give them any money, they will call you names and make derogatory racial remarks. They don’t want food. they just want cash so they can buy alcohol or drugs. Their government needs to resolve the homeless problem or else no tourist will go there.

Not all Chinese noodles pays attention to the broth. Some broths are just soy source/MSG mixed with water; hence, people don't really empty their bowl unless the place is known for their broths.

Chinese people mainly speak Mandarin Chinese and I don't know why there many foreigners come to China without knowing any words in Chinese and they expect everyone in the country speak English. I mean this is really interesting.

Whether it is a dictatorship or not, as long as the Chinese feel good, please keep your mouth shut. Others just talk about the difference in culture, but don't say what is good or bad. Does this make you unbearable? Did the Chinese ever rape your mother? Make you hate China so much.

Not controversial at all to notice the difference in different people - it’s the change in the variety of people which makes us interesting. The world has gone too woke for words.

Shanghai is a busy city...when you go to tie-2 cities like Wuhan Chengdu Chongqing, you will find life is very different
I think the cold weather and worse pendemic status is the major reason for the “quiet” ,next summer when the pendemic is gone you will see different

In terms of nightlife, it depends on where you go in China, and you'll get a very different impression of China. Shanghai doesn't really have nightlife. But if you go to some other cities in China, you'll find very busy exciting nightlife. For example, I think parts of Chengdu don't seem to go to sleep! Even 3am is completely filled with people on the streets!

It was a lot more crowded before the pandemic. Tourists are less because of the Covid policy. It’s just inconvenient to travel around. If you came 5 years ago, Nanjing road would always be full of tourists. Also welcome to Shanghai😊You have a lot to explore. I would recommend you go to some sub centers instead of just the center of Shanghai. If you like greeneries, Gongqing forest park is a great place to go and you’ll see how families enjoy their weekend.

Some of the things that was a culture shock to you is shocking. I get the feeling that you thought that since China is in Asia and it has a population of 1 billion+, it must be overcrowded. That's plain ignorant. Also ignorant is not to expect foreign brands.
