Saying GOODBYE to China | Walking Down Memory Lane
Our final video in #China. 💔 To close our China chapter, we are going back to where it started: Suzhou, China. 🇨🇳 We are sad to say goodbye to this beautiful country, but we knew it wouldn't be right for us to make a super emotional video... Instead we wanted to go down memory lane sharing what it was like during our first year in China, and seeing how far we have come through the 4 years in China.
We know this may be hard for a lot of our followers to see us leaving China, but know that we are still going to create more KZread videos, just focused on traveling around the world. 💜

We are James and Keli, previously Two Tickets Around the World. We are originally from Kansas in the United States and after many years of traveling during our holidays together, we took a leap of faith and moved to China. While we teach English during the week, we use our holidays and weekends to explore the different wonders of the world.
Once the borders open, we'll continue our adventures exploring the rest of the world. Until then, let's explore China together.

No gun fight, no dirty streets, no drug and hatemen. That's China.
Hi guys. Thanks for sharing your journey this past four years. Of all the expat China KZreadrs I follow, you two are my favorites. No hidden agenda, just positive and objective outlook. I cheer for your relationship and see you two as true ambassadors for peace and understanding. I hope you both consider a career as American diplomats. We need more folks like you.

Thank you so much!!! This is so sweet. ♥ Comments like this make us feel like we are doing the right thing to keep sharing our videos of our travels.
So cool! My first teaching job in China was also a training centre, I was also sad when I revisited mine 🤣 China really leaves a mark on you when you leave. Good luck!

It does!! It’s a huge part of your life and not many people back home will understand life in China like those who lived there.
Thanks for sharing the life and cultures of China.
If you have the opportunity to travel to China again, I believe you will see a more beautiful and prosperous China. Thank you for everything you have done for China!
很喜欢你们在中国的旅游视频,希望有机会再来旅行,体验更多的美食美景。
每个国家的人都想给外国人留下美好印象。但每个国家都有不足,希望以后你们能时常回忆起在中国的美好事物,下次来时一定会有更美好的经历。
It is very touching to see you guys leaving. Life is journey. This is a wonderful journey I can see. Thanks god to have a peace world and you can go where you like. Bless you all for your next expedition.

We were understanding of the frustration he probably had waiting for us, but we were very concerned about our cat. The biggest difficulty was the language barrier and sprinting through the airport after 40 hours of flying 😂
I just hope you bring the best memories from China with you to wherever you go, and hope your next destination will also take good care of you. Bon voyage.
Good luck!
you guys are wonderful producers!
🙏🙏🙏
Moving! good luck,guys!
一切顺利吧🎉
Best wishes for your future endeavors! You two have a nice life. Look forward to your new videos from your next destination.

Excellent video. I just got back from Guangdong. We talked about me teaching English but the conversation wasn't very serious. I like traveling to China and my videos of everyday life in China, however just like other places once the newness wears off I would miss living in my own city. Thanks for sharing.
Wow
it was the toughest 4 years for china due to the pandemic. it must not have been easy. You guys are nice folks, but don't have to hold it back all the time, it's unhealthy.

Several years ago, a proposal was made to demolish all the gates and walls in China, but it was rejected by people living inside the so-called gated communities. In retrospect, it was good to keep the gates and walls particularly during the pandemic. Now It is more likely that the gates and walls will stay with us forever. You guys will soon miss “the good old days” when you were in Suzhou,China.

After 4 years, our final job contract ended and we did not want to sign a new contract or find a new job. Our main focus was being able to be with our family for the holidays that we missed out on for so long.
