Great video about traveling to China
Great advices if considering travel to China šThank you for sharing these advices for traveling to China, thereās so much things to take in consideration so itās important to know these in advance šThank you for sharing this A Kšš!!!
Wow
My mom visited China and used zero apps to pay. She did cash only in Guangzhou. Some merchants prefer it as they're not losing a small 0.55 to 0.6 percentage.
The topic is okay š
ActionKid the plane ride from NYC to China too long a guy who I work with is from Beijing he said the flight is close to 20 hours ugh
Very interesting. Thanks for the information.
I could listen to AK ALL DAY š¤
I would only go to China if AK is my tour guide. āØšŗšøāØ
We have been to China twice and you never get used to the squatty potties! The flight is an out of body experience if you're coming from the US, up to 24 hours not including connecting flights or layovers. We would only go back if we could afford the first class beds or travel in stages with rest in between.
Great Video Actionkid, Im going to China next year , this is very helpful
traveled a couple of times and absolutely not worth it. Apart from the over-crowded tourism sights.
Iām German and lived and worked in China for almost 8 years I have a Chinese driving license and Iām not speaking Chinese .
Ok but donāt you speak chinese. ??
good to see you young man , it has been many years since I visited a country of rich history, unforgettable scenery, and for me very welcoming people ⦠safe journeys and looking forward to your next adventures your loyal fan..
Visitors from Britain or an EU country to China can stay for up to thirty days without needing a visa, and there's no need to visit a third country. There are non-stop flights from London Heathrow and Amsterdam Schiphol to a range of Chinese cities. Non-interactive maps of Chinese city metro systems are easily accessed with Google, etc.
Nice vid with good pieces of advice, it would be nice if you do a similar one about traveling to Vietnam. Cheers
Thank you very much for the information about traveling to China I really appreciate you š.
Great video actionkid thank you much šāš¼
good info, don't i'd ever go but your vids were great to experience it
AK: Thank you for sharing info that could help travelers to China.
I have a close relative who lived in the city in China & seemed to manage okay, although we only heard from him occasionally.
But he had American friends there, which of course helped his stay there.
This is a great video AK. Iāve been wanting to go to China ever since I was a little kid.
One shouldn't try to get by only on English in a non-English speaking country. One should learn the local language like you said: "It is good to know a little Chinese." I get a kick out of when people think English should be spoken somewhere where it's not spoken.
I, for one, am looking forward to two weeks away from Google and Facebook š
The only hotels I've stayed at in the US where the sink isn't in the common areas are the more expensive ones. If you stay at a common roadside motel, the sink will be in the common area
no more slop A.I.!!!
That opening is epic haha!
Hi Ken… Thanks for sharing some of the surprises, inconveniences and struggles a visitor to China will no doubt experience
Thank You Sir for sharing this If I went to China I will do my best to respect the Dragon
