how do people judge convienient differently? i know in China from life in the UK AMERICA CANADA AUSTRAILIA, even places in Europe. like if you got to TOurist places in Europe you can walk out your hotel and get food or drink pretty easily even middle of the night.. but even STILL.. China is more convinient that a TOURIST wester destination. you can walk out your door in crazy hours in the morning, feel completely safe and literally get food, drink or anything you wanted.. in /UK everything is not only shut.. wihtout a CAR basically youre handicapped.. everythings to far apart. i think also in China like Ollies senario. it doesnt matter if he didnt speak English, if he slowy tried to explain and use hand actions ect.. someone will go out their way and try to help you, theyll try to understand. where as its pot luck in the west youre on your own they dont care, often youll meet an amazing person thatll go out their way and help you. most the time, your on your own. its like those people that have those phone cases with credit card holding slots.. and also slot to put cash lol.. its the best way to lost EVERYTHING all at once lol its kinda silly. i think its crazy how cheap that delivery app is for food, i never knew about that when i was there,, sheesh if i did... id be on it everyday hahaha

Similarly, if you are a foreigner in any country, and dont know the local language, its very inconvienient to you. If you are in Australia, for example, and dont speak English, it will be very inconvienient to you. No difference at all. But China already is more foreigner friendly than most countries. All metros and trains also have annoucements in English besides Mandarin even though there are hardly any foreigner passengers inside. all road signs and airport/train signboards have english or abc words.

As a foreigner, I would say that in some regards, China is EXTREMELY convenient, but in other ways, it is so not - China is improving systems and making it easier for foreigners to live, but there is still a ways to go. For everyday life, China is truly convenient, but every couple of years when it comes time to reapply for your visa, and also when it comes to banking, trying to figure everything out, and dealing with all of the procedures can feel very inconvenient. Luckily, that only happens every now and then. Apart from that, life is very easy overall.

The differences between Chinese and Western governance systems are indeed reflected in every aspect of social life. I remember a business trip to Ottawa, the capital of Canada, and Toronto, the largest city in Canada. I was struck by the dilapidation of the city roads. When I asked my friend who had studied and lived in Canada for many years why they didn't maintain major repairs. He told me that the Canadian government had no money, that the money was in the hands of capitalists.

Spitting the truth. Going back to Europe feels like going back in time 10 years. Also, How did you miss taobao?加油！

Hi Ollie, Great to see you making such positive video reports on China. Having lived in China for almost 5 years, I can wholly confer that your reporting on convenience in China is 100% correct. Myself and my wonderful Chinese wife have traveled thousands of miles on the fast train, the orange slower trains, and the little village green trains. Folk in Europe will never understand, or never want to believe just how convenient it is to live in China. Example. While in an temporary 1 day hotel room, passing a day waiting for a flight, my wife ordered a bowl of fresh fruit. Paid for on Weechat, then blow me down, less than 30 minutes later there is a knock on the door, and of fantastic bowl of fruit delivered. I think it was about 7 kuai. Amazing doesn't even come close. Best wishes to your dad, keep up the great reporting. Graham.

Hi Oli, some tips for u. 1. To ride an e-bike in Shenzhen, you have to make sure that ur e-bike has an e-bike license plate. 2. Don't ride on the motorway behind the delivery guy, ride on the sidewalk would be better, otherwise the traffic police will fine u. 3. Riding an e-bike without a helmet in Shenzhen will result in a fine. Shenzhen has the strictest traffic regulations in China, and its executive force is very strong.

An excellent, informative and useful insight of the Chinese ways of life, even for overseas Chinese who visit China regularly!

You mentioned the train journey and cost, London to Birmingham being 190km and that costs approximately £30. Shenzhen to Guangzhou being not "slightly less" but a quarter less at 140km, and that costs around £6. So adding the quarter more (to make it even to the London to Birmingham distance), that would have made it £8. So, train journeys in China are around a quarter of the price the ripoff UK.

Very accurate and honest information you presented! I am sick of hearing lies from the BBC and CNN.

I agree with you Ollie. When I was working in Guangzhou a couple years ago I had cash…. I couldn’t get weechat pay or Ali pay because I wasn’t a resident of China. I remember buying a sandwich for lunch, I lined up to pay there 18 people in front of me paying by we chat…. It probably took about 18s!!! When they got to me they had to get someone else to take my money, get me some change ( I only had 100RMB i think). Meanwhile they must have served another 20 people before I got out of there….. red faced! 😊 Outside of work I tried to speak Mandarin in the shops and restaurants ( it’s was pretty poor! ) mainly to practice. I couldn’t stuff ok but it wasn’t all that easy but when I spoke Cantonese ( which is only marginally better) service often seemed on a different level! I definitely miss the convenience of China back here in Auckland! The metro and the high speed trains were awesome! Cool video Ollie. I really enjoyed it. 👍👍👍

One big benefit for their transport is being government/public funded. As you mentioned they can subsidise less profitable routes with more profitable ones and they only need to generate enough profit for maintenance etc so can afford to be cheaper. In the Uk the profit is the bottom line for private companies so unprofitable routes get axed and ticket prices get hiked up.

No true, no gov or public funded for that at all. as a Chinese I should tell you.

@@johngood4419 Of course it was partially funded by the state because rail systems in China are state-owned. Otherwise ticket would not be relatively cheap compared to the West.

Hey! If you come to Taiwan, except the cashless part (mostly cashless tho) the convenient is at the same level, and with even cheaper price and better society safety. Plus, most of life essential applications,from basic human needs to cultural services (library, museum, sports...) offer English version and you can definitely live in Taiwan quite happy without asking for translation service from anyone. Try it and I think you'll love it as well.

I’m sorry but Taiwan is not even close to cities like Shenzhen, miles behind.

Use the web version. I have a Huawei P40pro+, never see a need for google service. There are many alternatives applications to what google is offering.

Well, for those who live in china for long terms is convinient, however for tourist, its impossible to use those cashless payment services

Are you based in north Shenzhen? I am pretty sure thats the same communal apartment building my ex used to live in. Nice apartments, especially the ones with the little terrace bit inside the gates.

We are in the same city, most convenient stores has face payment, all supermarkets aswell.

Thank you for sharing the reality and telling the truth🌹 it is so kind of you. Forget about the lies about China

Things are so much cheaper in China is down to two things: economy of scale, and purchasing power per capita. GDP per capita in China is still 4x-5x lower than those in advanced economies, therefore it's not surprising to see prices are 4x-5x lower.

As a non-developed country. Our Chinese enjoys infrastructure that transcends British people.。The price is very low. Construction and public transportation and social security are very good than england.。Per capita GDP is four times higher than China. The UK is actually so backward. shame

Nice video.. keep it up..

Keep doing walking vlog we love the views of the community there. The whole time I don’t see a single littering. How are people able to keep everything so clean there?

Love this video. I am so happy that you find life so convenient in China. It seems that the quality of life is very high there.

I just noticed that all the bikes parked on the sidewalk are not locked. No worry that they would be stolen. I also heard that no one would take your packages left outside your home either. How nice. In the US, bikes would be stolen even if they're locked. 👍👍👍

You are so lucky to be living in China.I love your video.

移动支付的话题老生常谈了。正确的做法是，平常出行都是行李里准备了一些现金以备用。当然一般情况下是用不着的。

You got a girlfriend? Wow, congratulations 🥳

您在哪里拍摄？

我觉得在中国大城市基建都已经很成熟，生活很方便，怎么看都已经比其它国家的城市更智能。你可以去一些小城市或者城镇看看他们实际的变化，交通、人文、生活水平等等。

30 mins from Shenzhen to Guangzhou is a little bit incorrect, as honestly the Guangzhou South high rail station is not in the city area. You need another 30 mins to travel from Guangzhou South to the city area. The government is addressing the issue but as the city area was developed long time ago, it takes time to do all the stuff to build a high rail station in the city area.

Very good. 💪💪💪
