I will definitely make a video one day about the different districts and common neighbourhoods in Guangzhou. As per clothing is you mean actual Chinese brands; you always need to go through the company for wholesale. If you are talking about non-branded or make-up brand clothing, there are handfuls of clothing wholesale markets, and I will probably be doing an updated video on those markets in the coming months on my market channel c3thecollywoodlife

So the main pubs for football would be morgans or hooleys but there are others that show it as well. You wont find krisby kremes but there are tons of great bakeries that sell sweets. Also tons of western food places like taco bell etc. For snacks you can always find cfreme eggs on taobao.

I am not going to say 100% they don't, but from my knowledge, I don't know anyone who has had theirs stolen. A few factors. They all have GPS built in to show where they are at all times. China has cameras everywhere, along with the best facial recognition in the world, and China prosecutes its criminals a bit more than the West. These would also be stolen in Canada if just left around. To protect the bike from the Guangzhou rain everyone has a simple rain cover.

That sounds about right. 10 pages of documents that are a bit tricky to navigate. The only positive to it is that it allows you to stay longer than the transit visa. My first Chinese visa was a tourist visa and it was 60 days multi entry that lasted 10 years.

我去英国需要更多的材料和证明。费用1000英镑以上，知足吧先生！

So the documents, such as degree and criminal record check, will all be authenticated and notarized then translated officially . along with that you need a medical check and to fill out all the applications and have those submitted and yes thats going to run you around $1000 if not a bit more. The flight really depends on what time of year and where you are flying from. Living cost will also depend on what city you live in and what part of that city you live. Land lords do need 3 months rent up from. Lastly you will also need some money to survive off before you get your first pay. All in all I recommend have 5k-10k when moving to china to live and work.

How so? America actually followed China in things like WeChat/WhatsApp, Didi/uber, Alipay/Paypal, debit, Credit Meituan/Uber Eats, and Door Dash. All of the American options cost more and are less efficient.

@@collyslifeadventureinchina typical response, lol. You enjoy China, I will enjoy my freedom, in the United States of America 🇺🇸

@@TomSantinoCorleone I'm Canadian, and there are pros and cons to living in Canada, America, Europe, China, etc. If you really believe you are that much freer or safer in one developed/developing country than the next, you either haven't travelled or are just naive. I understand there is no convincing you. I do hope god blesses America and Canada in their next elections.

@@collyslifeadventureinchina 😂 😆

​@@collyslifeadventureinchinathere is no way breaking these people s prejudice honestly. They rather live in a country with non stop mass shooting called freedom... I lived in Colorado for 10 years and love it but soon I m moving to Qingdao. Thanks for the tips! I ve been looking for some apps to use in China

The only place they are banned is heritage sites and some parks. They are also banned to drive on sidewalks but thats fully ignored since people need to park their bikes there anyways.

绿茶甜薄餐 is the name. its a mix between sweet and savoury. I though the inside was some type of almond or nut but it turns out its a form of crispy butter. So basically a match glutinous rice rolls with nice sweet and savoury crispy butter on the inside.

I did not want to have just cantonese food. I tried to have a different provinces food each day. In the future I might do one where I only eat cantonese food since I am in Guangzhou. I still find with goos, duck, and chicken you get tons of bones and less meat than if you had a chicken breast. BBQ pork/ sticky pork or crispy pork usually give a decent amount of meat.

I could be wrong. I cant see past years stars and when I looked at the recent one it isnt. I got my information from trip advisor. never the less some times the star rating isnt about how good the food is but the atmosphere and cutlery as well. I will eventually go to one of the currently rated places but they seem to all the at expensive hotels such as the white swan.

@@collyslifeadventureinchina that'll explain it then, TripAdvisor is often no more than hearsay on those sort of things! The star ratings are always about the food - Michelin have a separate knife and fork rating that covers service and ambience etc. I see quite a few starred restaurants in Guangzhou rated at ¥¥ rather than ¥¥¥¥ that could be worth a visit - Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew is on my list for a potential visit to Singapore and I see there is one in Guangzhou with a star too. I do recommend splurging sometime and trying them out - in more than 50 visits to stars from 1 to 3***, I've only had two that I felt didn't deserve any at all. Looks like an interesting food scene there, carry on trying it all out for us!

The over priced places I would say are at the hotels. Even though they have 2 or 3 stars i rather go to a place that is on the select or one star that is a fair price. still really good.

I wish but cant over here. Cant wait for a visit back to Canada in a few years.

I have a way better dim sum place I am releasing a video about this week, so wait for that. Hong Kong-style places are all over, so it it won't be hard to find one close to you.

Express vpn no longer works here. I used it 2015-2020 but not anymore. Astrill is what some people use, but it is better to find a private VPN provider inside China. Ask around once you get here.

@@collyslifeadventureinchina thank you so much for your response and the advice!

@@edisagreen6626use proxy master vpn, its free and works

I have a friend who had his bike taken away years ago, and in order to get it back, they wanted him to do 7 days in jail, which is madness, so he never got that bike back. In Guangzhou, I have only seen stops a few times, and it has been to make people who are wearing helmet walk their bikes. Everyone walks 100. meters, then get right back on. 25km/h is pretty slow 40-50 would be ideal, and this is what you can get once the limiter has been removed. However, I have been in Guangzhou long enough to know that the police randomly sweep and crackdown. You could be good all year, then boom, one week, they are on their shit. I have seen them pull up to a Walmart with a flatbed and fill it up with unregistered bikes and bikes that were modded too much. I will probably buy a second bike different model and maybe even different brand and change the speed on it.

I heard about the laws from a friend who had a bike for a long time. I've seen police set up where they check bikes, and I've seen them take people. I asked my wife about the laws, and she looked them up. You could ask at your local police office that you register at but the people at the xiao niu shop will also inform you of what is illegal to do to the bike. Many shops will still make the illegal changes if you ask but you risk your bike being taken away, and I don't want to lose that decent chunk of change. As per the breakdown, the UQI is a model you can upgrade and make your own however, some models, like the Umax dont have many upgrades to be done. Possibly a battery upgrade but the body is pretty solid with the long seat and im not sure if you can change the suspension on it as well. The suspension was the highest cost of my bike upgrade, and I still didn't get the front one done, which would be another 5k RMB.

@@collyslifeadventureinchina Thanks so much, heading to a near Niu store this sunday. Safe riding!

You just need to spend time exploring. Things change so often here. Really just need to learn how to work with modern technology.

Pretty much none.

@@collyslifeadventureinchina well the reason I ask is, how much preparation do you recommend for someone moving to China to work? Did you get your job through an English speaking agency?

@@dannybee6677 When I arrived in late 2015, things were a lot different. Back then, I got my job through an agency, but this time, I got my job through contacts. Depending on the job you have, you will need a different set of skills. Many jobs dont require any Chinese, but many jobs also require you to be pretty fluent. Before, many people would come here and work illegally, but the government has really cracked down, and from what I am hearing from non-native speakers and people who aren't qualified, it's very hard for them to find work, and many are leaving. A lot fewer Russians here now.

Cant please everyone.

@@collyslifeadventureinchina Not about pleasing, but about behaving!

@@lifejourney08 I did not break any laws. "behaving" really...

@@collyslifeadventureinchina of course it is not you, you are cool!

Yup wait till these countries decide on being independant or doing stuff away from the "US / Western rules based order" and then get sanctioned to hell and back...... wait till India start going their own way we'll see how much of a "superpower" India really is

Full surveillance means next to no crime. Do you really think that if a country in the West wants to watch you, they can't?

@@collyslifeadventureinchina BOoooOM!! THIS! Snowden has already told everyone about the US and we still get this one sided Western BS that has been disproved with evidence and facts!!!!

OH and i suppose the US isnt a surveillance state LMAO!

Chinese see tattoos are stupid dirty smudges that ruin the human natural body.

No, there is a better attitude towards tattoos these days. Many young Chinese have them. People 40 and up might still think tattoos mean gangster, but I walk around with my ink showing and often get smiles. Many Chinese people also say how cool or beautiful they are.

Steal data like how Google, Play Store apps, Android, Microsoft software, Windows, iTunes, iPhone, Apple IOS stole your data? 😂

不知道哪里来的优越感😅😅

Liar spread lies.

You are full of B.S. I am an American who visits China regularly, this is my advice: Get a sim card that works in China, Tmobile lets you roam for free, get VPN, and Alipay.

Literally, every app developed steals some sort of data. That's how they make money by giving you a free app. If you have sensitive data, then yes, that should be on a work phone with no apps except the ones you use for work. Basically, it should be a phone to send messages and make calls. If someone really wants your data there are many ways of compromising devices.

Thanks. I was addressing the main questions people have been asking me about.

Its what I use daily. I maybe forgot to add in tantan for single people looking to date but I think I nailed it when talking about apps my friends, co-workers, and self use on the daily.
