I AM FINALLY HOME! After several COVID tests, quarantine, and endless code scanning in China | EP41

I have finally reached home and it was definitely an unforgettable experience and exciting way back after 6 months on the route!
A final step back home, yet a rather complicated procedure:
numerous PCR tests, 8 days in hotel quarantine, from airplane to bus, train, taxi and on my foot! Finally, after over 160 days on the road, I am back home and surprised my parents (I didn't tell them that I will be back :P)!
Admittedly, the strict measures in China is a sharp contrast to the outside world. But it was quite an experience :P. How do we live with covid measures? How is quarantine life? Despite all the inconveniences, I am so happy to see my parents again!

经历了无数次核酸检测,酒店隔离,扫绿码,从飞机换成巴士,高铁,打车和步行,160多天的环球旅行后,我终于回家了(给了爸妈一个惊喜)!这绝对是最复杂的一次回国了,但是重重阻碍却让回家变得更加令人期待。虽然国内疫情管控同国外形成了鲜明对比,但这不是我的重点啦,回家的喜悦大过天!
顺便带你们看看我们的疫情下的生活,和隔离的小日子,还有我开开心心的回家路程!祝好!

The scene with your mom, and later with your dad, and the laughter brought tears to my eyes. As a nomad traveling nonstop, I'm amazed by your journey and how you carried yourself. Most of all, I am so grateful for your honest impression and all the lessons you gave in your videos. Rest. Enjoy your time at home and hit the road to make more videos. The world needs more road warriors like yourself. A billion likes and bows to you❤️❤️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

    Well done for getting through all those rigorous procedures! I think the toilet paper machine might just be a technological step too far though…crazy! I could really relate to your hotel room routine - I’ve just finished 3 weeks (and 300 hours) of editing photos for a client’s book. I have the tv on but sometimes I look up and realise I’ve not looked at the screen for hours! It’s worrying to see the paranoia (your taxi companion) but I think we’ve all felt like that at some time in the last 3 years. Your return home was a joy to watch, and I love the way you use music in all your videos - very cinematic. How you managed to learn such perfect English is also incredible. By far my favourite KZread discovery this year - you have phenomenal communicating and presenting skills. Keep up the wonderful work 💜

    In the end of your long go-back home journey, you brought tears into my eyes 😭, you are very very very strong woman. I really appreciate you ❤❤❤ My story: During serious pandemic 😷 I couldn’t go back to my country so after my graduation I found a job in China and stayed in China afterwards and I really loved it that Chinese cared a lot to everyone during that worse condition. And I also thanked to God that it was my best decision that I didn’t leave China after my graduation and China 🇨🇳 is a great country ❤ that didn’t force us to leave country. Instead of leaving, ask us to find a job with a limited new visa duration. And finally I got a job in a very modern city of China “Shenzhen” and made many good memories 😊

    Hi Yan, really happy to see you made it home. I am a Kuchingite, started your first video at Ep.35 as a suggestion video by KZread, then watched 36, 37 & 38. The videos are very well done, very informative with good background music, so I decided to sub and start from Ep.01. Took me 2 weeks to come to this video. Along the journey, the most relax and enjoy video would be the Vardavar Festival in Armenia. Most beautiful building, I would say the mosque fills with mirrors. The most worrying part was the jungle tracking in Cameron Highland, where you were alone and it started to rain, luckily you found the way out before night fall. Will be waiting for your Season 2 videos. Btw did you make a saving or exceeded the initial 8,000 Euros ticket home?

Good thing that China is financially and technologically able to do so. And 'bullet' trains are the norm in China. Anyway, was surprised that one has to go thru so many PCR tests.

All very don't care about politics. They wanted to live their life normally. Tend to the fields and herds. When US got involved, they got dragged in and I flown mission for US for 6 months there. Your journeys are much purer, to me, it give a sense to life on it own.
