In China and other Asian countries, they are very community oriented and would not do that, as opposed to many Americans who are more individually motivated. Not saying one is better or worse, they just have a different way of viewing the world. That said, traditional small American neighborhoods used to also behave this way as well but somewhere along the way that has become lost. I dont know why.

I live in the USA and I pick up my packages at 7-11, and I always have to be aware of my surroundings

great

it’s all about economic. 20 years ago in china same thing would happen.

@Down to the sea Youre right, that's a big problem facing America. Its interesting how that is not the major focus of American media and the public in terms of what needs to be fixed. Instead Americans are more focused on left vs right, black vs white etc.

i think it's kind of uncommon to have dryers in Asia. Or at least in my part of Asia (SE Asia). I'm not surprised they are too in China.

yes we do have it but not for so many people. We prefer to dry our clothes under the sun.

it's the same in Germany and I assume it's similar in other European countries

We do that in India too. But, it has a problem. You have to look for if outside is too hot then cloth's colour can fade away. I am just too lazy to do that and leave them there unless the clothes are my favorite and expensive. 😂😂

USA is spoiled with wasteful clothes dryers.

What!? But why…

Having lived in the us I could see it happen ,we all know American people like to get too high sometimes

Only in certain area! The community I live is quite safe --- until the metro connects people in downdown toour community. And we have learned not talk about the cause.

The cat will chase and sometimes catch the birds no matter what. The cat is the king of and a threat to all the wild lives in city life. So feeding them is not a very good idea. 最后祝贺完成论文成功上岸！👏

@@realaubreyliu its part of animal world i assume. In china there is no news that cats kill too many wild species even they get feed by chinese, but there are a lot of stastics to tell people that it kill a lot of wild animals in australia. BTW 论文是啥子东西=-=。。。

@粉絲 true, i believe that in china thounsands and thounsands animals has been living in nature ecoystem for thounsands years but australia do not have enough species to make similar ecosystem. so it will lead damage if human bring animals to austalia.

That’s so interesting that they still live nearby and didn’t fly off elsewhere. 😝 My family has the reverse of your story. Someone else’s pet lovebird escaped or was set free and showed up at our bird feeders and kept clinging to our window screen as though he wanted to be brought inside . We let him in and got him a cage in our kitchen. he never ever left the cage , even with the door open , he was a house bird for life , hahaha.

We put out tons of “lost bird” ads for the bird but no one replied , so we kept him, he lived almost a decade at our house

it's a good sign in Chinese tradition if birds nesting in your house :) the little forest outside of my parents apartment has a few big pine trees that provide nuts and I saw other exotic birds besides the two I freed. Together, they never failed to wake me up early in the morning when I went home, lol

it's uncommon for older folks to keep parrots or parakeets outside. they mainly keep songbirds.

@@kats_journey_east I ❤ this redhead American kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLecmMubm7O7Ymg.html

Regardless of safety, there’s no food at that hour 😂😂

@@kats_journey_east the only food you can get is donuts 🍩

You can't go out after dark in Chicago. Too many car highjackings.

7-Eleven hot dogs only in the states.

@@kats_journey_east Thats so true, maybe a 24 hour McDonalds, so that probably means you have to get into your car and drive lol

😝😝

In that sense, I think it's good to have a shower screen because if the whole floor is wet, it's slippery. Do be careful.

I lived for a while in a student apartment in Finland - it had the same shower setup... in Paris they just have tiny showers

that's right! at the same time you can show off your cool undies and lingeries by hanging them outside for the whole neighborhood to envy

Dryers also make the clothes decay a lot faster, so even tho I have one in my apartment I never used it

It must be take millions of years to sell out

欢迎你再次来到中国，你会惊讶的。

Finally , someone knows the answer !! 😝😝

I'd have to see that in action to believe it.

At the end of this video you can watch someone using this - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcCEgbSbmryVh5s.html

I've not seen that here in France. At least here in Northern France.

Yeah, I think it depends on where in Europe you are. Here in Scandinavia it's not too common either.

The style is very common is Malaysia .. it dries up very quickly as the climate is hot .

A few small revisions are still pending but the worst is over now. Lots of bike rides planned for the upcoming year 😍😍😍 excited to share with everyone😈😈

my first stove in china was like a first love of mine, they are so much more powerful and superior to gas stoves in US! it was in my first apartment which was massive bargain for rent (so certainly not as nice as the one in this video haha) and overall pretty shoddy, when we went to see the unit the last tenants had completely DESTROYED the stove like beyond recognition so it was replaced by the management there before moving in… best surprise ever, it blew my mind when i first moved in (after cooking on hotplate in dorm for some time ha) the flame is huge and boiled anything so quickly, all the sudden i could whip up vegetable soup in what seemed like no time，that stove was SO MUCH more efficient to use than any stoves in the US… when i came back to US to visit my parents eventually, i tried to boil something on their american gas stove it seemed to take so long i genuinely thought i was losing my mind, could not believe it had always just been like that!

@@marguerilla haha interesting!

The CCTV is monitoring in there. BTW, Chinese accept positively the CCTV and don't feel it violate privacy. They require install more in where's blind point. The criminal rate reduced significant.

The water seems to be pretty mosquito free since there are several different types of fish in there not just the koi , so mosquito larvae would probably get eaten before they would hatch 🦟

a lot more space and cost much less ( especially the rents). Pools are rare in northern China.

That’s so interesting , I never would have guessed😝😝that’s nice that the lottery profit is being used for something productive in society

This apartment complex is pretty standard for the outer sections of Nanjing

Are you referring to squat toilets? We don’t have one in our apartment, I only see them out in public. They will show up in a video one day or another 😜 as for dishwasher, our apartment didn’t come with one but Wei is lazy and got one so he doesn’t have to wash the dishes by hand 😂😂

@@kats_journey_east Yes I was referring to squat toilets. I think your apartment is newer and in a tier 1 city - hence more likely to have modern facilities. I remember watching Gweilo60's youtube video of his home in Nanning and he had a squat toilet. I think the use of a squat toilet is likely one of the biggest cultural shock for most Westerners. The Toilet Revolution (厕所革命) started in 2015 by President Xi will likely see the demise of the squat toilets from public washrooms and I believe the improved WC norms will be adopted in all homes across China. Since Wei wanted a dishwasher, I guess he is designated for more dish washing duties then. 😊

@@philipshim4768 Squat toilet is either in very old apartment, or public toilet. Now in cities, I think 90% aparment is with western toilet. Toilet Revolution is not meant to convert squat toilet to western toilet but improve the facility and cleaness. People prefer squat toilet in public because no need to contact.

@@philipshim4768 Squat toilets are never that common in households, but only in public facilities! Ppl prefer public squat toilets coz it seems more hygienic (as Mike says no contact) hahah!

@@philipshim4768 Nanjing is a tier 2 city, also generally there are no squat toilets in apartments built in the last 30 years in China, even in tier 6 cities. They only exist in schools, some old public facilities and extremely old apartments.

yea, I've never seen any stray dogs in the US. But for stray cats, I could say almost half a dozen of them would visit my backyard in Brooklyn almost everyday

Glad you like the videos 😎🌻the story about the pillow is pretty boring haha, we are renting this apartment and that pillow as well as various others came with it 😂😂 it’s not actually mine . I only own one sofa pillow , my Kim jong un pillow , I think he hasn’t made an appearance in a video yet . Maybe it’s about time to bring him onscreen🤣

Lmao
