I love all people and understand their struggles! Now when I ride the train in Boston super early in the morning, practically 70% Spanish (assuming South Americans) speaking riders, probably because they're all low pay service sector or construction types workers! Office workers don't start until 9-9:30 am! I totally agree with Colonel Douglas McGregor view the reason we don't secure our borders is there's no money in it like sending military aid resulting in booming in certain industries! Or sometime I wonder we let them in because you often hear shortage of workers in the US, if you live in a gated community! Who cares! They serve you at a low paying jobs when they go to a high paying profession 😂😂😂

Brand new trains is of course better than the decades old ones! They're so proud of the new one every time a new train comes (my line is only maybe 1 out of 5) they'll announce that the oncoming one is brand new!😂😂😂 My only complaint is the seats are really small and plastic instead of cushioned! I don't know where you live! I'm Chinese but you have to know Americans are really large😢😢😢Some are XXXL😂😂😂

Good choice, although it can take several months to really settle in and understand the culture, but the best decision you'll ever make.

Whenever possible always take public transportation during non-peak hours, this applies on any country.

Surely there must be a Visa you can apply for that is say a year, and state that you have been in China for X amount of time legally on 90 day Visa's. You are doing them a favour advertising their country on a positive note. And or get married.

well done indeed Tony 👍

Did 20 years ago but them days, Guangzhous subways weren't here.

The crowd situation here is nothing in comparison with what it is in Tokyo, Japan. The good thing is that everyone is moving in a orderly fashion and no pickpocketing in the crowd situation like this. The security check at the subway station is really nothing than just passing through your bags and open liquid bottles and that's it. I rather be safe than sorry. I have to say traveling in China, safety would be the last thing I would worry. China is one of the safest place on earth for travelers. I left my bag at a McDonald and I realized 4 hours later. I rushed back by taxi and found it was still there no one touched it. That bad would be stolen or taken away if I am in European cities or American cities. I never worried walking on the streets even at later night or 2 AM when the streets are quiet.

You pay for what you get, but not always (ripped off). It's value for money that's relevant. China can compete at this level and improving.

So apparently its actually more efficient overall (and safer) if everyone stand on both sides of the escalator. There won't be individuals who can move faster than others but it's just better for the collective whole. And the escalators are also less likely to break because the load is more static and balanced.

Things have changed so much in the Mainland since before COVID, it's like walking in a parallel universe now. Some conspiracy theorist Uber driver who took me to West Kowloon Terminus speculated that The Little Red Book "brainwashed" the people to me polite and courteous. And I think maybe you are overestimating how long a Generation is. It would appear that the most visible prodominant generation tends to change every 10 years.

Just complaints about everything because it's not down to a British self entitled convenience. I can highlight your own country inadquency and lack of proper transports in a country that is 10 times roughly smaller than China. You also choose some of the rather peculiar off routes and it comes across in your video as the main dreary transport in China's. Question.... Why are you in China then????

You got it wrong. Yellen is not complaining about poor quality Chinese goods being exported. She's blaming China for exporting high quality products at lower (not cheap) prices and she's not happy about it, because American companies can't compete, both on price and superior quality. How's that for sour grapes?

Every 3 months making a trip to HK to renew your visa? What happens if one day, you're too old or too sick to travel? You become an illegal, overstayed immigrant? Or in American terminology, an illegal alien.

Trains everywhere are jammed pack on peak hour. At least it seems safe there. Here in the U.S. everything from people forcefully yanking people out of trains (had this happen in the 90's, guy in a suit couldn't wait for the next train. Yanked me out from behind and tried to squeeze himself in, just before the train took off.) To people trying to throw/push others on to the rails, happen. The security and etc. Are only there to clean things up. They're not much help when things are happening.

What can you expect with a population of 1.4 billion? You can reach your destination, without hanging to train door frame or climb up the roof of train.
