I’m back in China!
It has been a gruelling flight, but I’ve just landed in Hong Kong! I’ll have a Patreon Exclusive update with Sasha within the next few days, I’m super excited to see her and she’s waiting for me at the HK/Mainland border, here’s a quick clip I threw together of some of the awesome subscribers I bumped into randomly whilst on my journey up the west coast filming “Quest for the Best Chinese in the USA” 2018-02-02 11:25:41 +0000 UTC View Post
There's more to this video than meets the eye
Hey there guys, I know that this video has just been released on my channel, but there's a bit of history near the end of this video regarding C-milk and myself, I think it's worth a watch, also there's a some footage of our CNC screening and the afterparty in there too, so if you were there perhaps you'll be able to spot yourself in the crowd! Thank you to every one of you who came to the screening or were t...

Hey there guys, C-milk and I are a few weeks into our epic Chinese food tour of the West coast of America, I can't wait for you all to see what we've pulled off! It has been really difficult but you're going to love it and I'll make sure that you, my Patreons get the first look at everything before it goes public...

We're shooting a lot and putting in a lot of extra effort to make this "Quest for the Best Chinese in America" upcoming ADVChina series amazing!

C-milk and I are right in the middle of shooting one of the most interesting and fun video series for ADVChina and we needed a break from all the Chinese food, so C-milk recommended we go to his favourite restaurant in the whole world iHOP

I need to say something to you all: “Without you lot, I would have nothing and I’m very well aware of that, your incredibly generous support has fuelled my channel, my relationship and my adventures” Each and every one of you, be it for a dollar or more has been an integral part of this oft times crazy yet amazing journey of mine through China, and for that I am eternally grateful!

What happens when White Monkey Jobs go WRONG?
So I often get these "come on a free holiday, all you need to do is make some videos" requests, but I know what they're all about and always pass, but last week I got to sit down with a German Digital Nomad who actually took one of these companies up on their offer...

This video has been a long time coming. I love China, I love living in China and of course my friends and my wife. But there is an uncomfortable truth that has always upset me and so I decided to air it.

So this is a bit of an odd one, I combined a bit of my usual style with some very old motovlogging sort of style. Do you think that the average viewer will think that this is a bit too strange or do you think it works? I'm looking forward to your feedback!
Can't wait to see you all in the next video!

Firstly I'd like to thank you all for such an awesome Live Stream the other morning, it was really a lot of fun for both Sasha and myself to have some real interaction with you guys. If you missed it, we'll be having more in the future, but it won't be a frequent thing, maybe once every month or so if there's a good reason.

I cut myself on a rusty knife in China and had to get a Tetanus shot! So how does it work and is it really only $2?
I've just finished this video last night and it'll be released next week, I wanted my patreons to get an early look. Also I must point out that not all clinics are as advanced as this one, but they're all trying to get to this point:

Hey there guys, here's a very early access (this will be released the week after next) of an ADV on the bikes episode.
C-milk and I really went in depth on how we feel about the way China has changed during the time we've lived here.

Although I'm planning to release this next week and make a different one for this week, I thought I'd share it with you all and hopefully get a little feedback from you guys. I may get a bit of hate for this one, but I really want to help out my Chinese friends and help people understand the environment here that causes such bad behaviour on the road.
2017-11-20 15:15:58 +0000 UTC View PostI can finally tell you!
Okay, so there's been a huge cloud hanging over my head for the past month or so, Sasha has needed to get some pretty big surgery for a long time and finally we had to get it done.
Since the beginning of our relationship I've been aware that Sasha has had some small benign growths on her ovaries, nothing to worry about and frighteningly common in China.
There is a huge health issue in China which doesn't seem to be ta...

It's a funny thing, but waking up each day realising that there are 879 (currently) people out there who actually think that it's worthwhile to support what I do each month is one of the most unfathomable feelings one could have!

So this isn't an edited video, it's just a short collection of clips I took the other night when I was walking out with Sasha and thought that you guys would find it interesting how in one open square, you'll have these sort of gangs of dancing Aunties all trying to compete with each other by blasting out their music loud enough to carve out their own little slice of turf!

I just had to share this because it's the sort of blunder that can easily happen in China where cultural sensitivities to a large extent don't actually exist, mainly due to being cut off from the rest of the world for so long. 2017-10-11 09:44:55 +0000 UTC View Post
